Liz didn't even get the message. The link between them was very weak to begin with and when the blue woman wasn't paying attention, she never heard anything. Well... nothing unless it came from Chris or from one other very special friend of hers.
Liz just took hold of the controls and started piloting the jet in the direction of New York City.

(ECKS turns to Avriletta upon hearing her voice complaints about flying and decide to voice his own opinion on the subject.)
ECKS: "Don't worry, you ain't the only one who's got a problem with flying in these things, darlin.' I never did take to flyin' either, I'm too much of a control freak. If I ain't in control, I'm not all that easy, and in these things you have almost no real control."

Liz looked over at her old friend, I told you years ago to get you pilot's license. Kitty und I are ze only ones who know how to fly zis zing. There was a hint of amusement in her telepathic message to ECKS. The man liked control, but for some reason, he always left the flying to the phaser or to the teleporter.

After about a couple of minutes from flying, New York is approaching closer. Kitty looks to her teammates on the mission before she addresses her question to Liz.
Shadowcat: So, do we have a plan of action when we land in New York?

Liz turned to Kitty, "I plan on scanning ze area und finding vhat part of ze city ze are in before ve land. Ze towers are gone so I doubt zat she vould do anyzing to Ground Zero. Ze Statue of Liberty vas Magneto's zing, but she seems like ze type to follow his footsteps. If es ist not eizer of zose, es might be ze UN. Depending on where zey are is how ve attack."

"Hmmmmm...." Avriletta's wheels began to turn in her head, "What sort of hide out you think she'll have?" She looked at Kitty and thought of what she, herself, would do. It would either be extreme on the elaborate side.... or completely run down and out of any ones veiw or guess..., "Hmmm... I wounder what attacking the Liberty would do for what ever her 'purpose' is..."
She turned in her chair as best she could to see where they were.

"Zese kinds of mutants vant to show zat homo-superior should rule over homo-sapian. Destroying somezing big or calling attention to somezing symbolic ist how zey show es." She nodded to Kitty, "Take control." She got up and headed to the back. She needed time to think.

(ECKS just sits back, taking this all in. Inside he hopes he still has the "do what's neccesary" attitude it takes to do this job. But as always he wouldn't allow anyone else to see his true feelings about whether or not he thinks he can still perform his duties. The kids got along fine without me, he says to himself, trying not to allow that thought through his link to Liz, if I can't prove I'm still worth somethin' then they won't need me anymore.)
ECKS: "The UN ain't a bad idea, but the takin' control thing won't have much to do with either Lady Liberty or the towers. We need to look for the place that will allow her to take the most control. Make the biggest statement. That's where they'll be."

Shadowcat: Well, then it's a good thing we have a friend in the UN.
Kitty put the jet on auto-pilot as she began to work on the communications board of the jet. After a few minutes of hacking and searching, Kitty finds the number she was looking for. Somewhere within the United Nations, a phone rings in the office of the US ambassador. As he answers the phone, his voice can be heard throughout the jet.
Beast: Hank McCoy.
Shadowcat: Hank, it's Kitty.
Beast: Ah, Kitty. To what do I owe the pleasure?
Shadowcat: I really wish that this was a social call, but you know how it is sometimes.
Beast: Of course.
Shadowcat: You wouldn't happen to know anything about a mutant terrorist group called "The Sovereigns", would you?
Beast: Ah, yes. They have caused quite a disturbance in France when they bombed Interpol. A very rash act I find to attack an international known agency, but they are determined to make a statement in the world.
Shadowcat: Interpol?! Hank, I think you're right. They are trying to make their statement by attacking these world-known organizations, and this supports our theory that the UN may be the Sovereigns' next target. Hank, you have got to evacuate the building and everyone around it.
Beast: A complete evacuation?! Well, how much time do we have? Do we know their exact means of attack?
Shadowcat: We're not sure, but they captured two of our team members in order to carry out this plan so it has to be something big. Hank, you just have to come up with something. Call in a bomb threat, set off the fire sprinklers, anything.
Beast: Fire sprinklers? Isn't that a little elementary school, Kitty?
Shadowcat: Yeah, but hey... whatever works.
Beast: I'll do what I can. Good luck.
Shadowcat: You too.
The line quickly went dead as Kitty regained control of the jet. New York was approaching quickly. The only thing left to do was find the Sovereigns' location before it was too late.

"Hank... the big blue man?" Avriletta raised her thin black eyebrows. " the UN sounds like a good place to hit... i wonder... why now?"

(ECKS chuckles to himself.)
ECKS: "The real question is why not? What better way to make a statement than to attack the United Nations. The security there is through the roof and if they can not only target but actually pull off an atack there, doesn't matter how much damage they do, they're gonna make some major noise."
ECKS: "This is even out of Magneto's league, if they can make it happen, anyway. But we gotta make sure, this could be a set up. This is also the most obvious choice after attackin' Interpol, they might be expecting us to go here to check for them first. If they thought of that, they might be waitin' for us to show up here so they can make their move somewhere else. Or worse... they could be waitin' for us to get here to take the buildin' down around us."

"Too true... but they could do both," Avriletta's nails sharpened as she thought, her giant pants looked like a deflated pair of green hot air balloons, "Or they could call it off and do something completely different... she might know we're alread almost there." strategies weren't always Ave.'s thing, she ussually let her opponent make the first move if it could be afforded... unfortunately, the first move had already been made, and move three and four were comming into play with her watching in the comfort of the death-trap-jet.

Liz stood and started to pace back and forth, "You all have good points. Kitty... Land us close to ze UN, but far enough away zat zey don't know ve're here." She sat back down and got into the lotus position. She closed her blood eyes and took a deep breath. Suddenly a soft green glow surrounded her body and she started to levitate as she started searching for their friends.

Shadowcat: Got it. Everyone get ready. We should be landing a the next few minutes.
Kitty looked over the island of Manhattan and lowered the jet to find the United Nations headquarters. Located the building along the banks of the East River, Kitty tried to find a location to land directly across on the other side of the river. She noticed a empty lot of land on Roosevelt Island, which rests in the middle of the East River. Luck was appearing to be on their side; the lot of land had a direct view of the United Nations.
Shadowcat: Okay, hold on people.
Kitty lowered the landing gear and carefully controlled the jet's landing on the small lot.

Avriletta gripped the seat; her life/sanity depended upon her hold on the chair. the plane shook a little as it landed, "Kitty? ... are we done yet? I really don't like planes." Ave.'s wings closed around the seat and the giant pants that looked like they could hold a lost civilization inside a pocket.
