Jamie and X coming to Eureka.

It may be awkward for X-23 and Jamie, transitioning from Milliways to Eureka. SARAH herself does not notice much of anything when she moves back and forth, but she advised her two guests to sit down on the living room couch before they left the bar.
"Exterior sensors have resumed function," SARAH announces. "Welcome to Eureka."
"Exterior sensors have resumed function," SARAH announces. "Welcome to Eureka."

X casts a quick sideways look at Jamie, then sqaures her shoulders and steps away from the shadow of the building.
"Jamie. Hurry up! I think it's gone."

Two.

Date: 2008-02-28 05:00 am (UTC)X starts moving toward Stark, face set in a very sulky teenager expression.
She can't do scared very well.
"He's just a guy!"
no subject
Date: 2008-02-28 05:08 am (UTC)"If you wouldn't mind--"
Stark's tone is impatient as he turns to face the kids.
"--perhaps you could have your conversation elsewhere."
no subject
Date: 2008-02-28 05:11 am (UTC)She's still moving toward him.
"Do you think we're scared?"
no subject
Date: 2008-02-28 05:16 am (UTC)Jamie tags after her, and hits her in the arm, lightly. "I'm not scared anyways. I'm hardly a baby, Laura. I thought it was excellent!"
no subject
Date: 2008-02-28 05:21 am (UTC)He looks back and forth between them with a slight frown.
"I don't think I know you two."
no subject
Date: 2008-02-28 05:23 am (UTC)She stops two or three feet away from him, green eyes level and clear.
"We are new here. Mom's thinking about relocating."
Beat.
"He called you Mr. Stark. Didn't she call you?"
no subject
Date: 2008-02-28 05:36 am (UTC)It's possible Alison could be recruiting someone without having mentioned it, but--
"And no, she didn't."
no subject
Date: 2008-02-28 05:41 am (UTC)"Laura just wants to pick your brains about something scientific," he says, to Stark, in extremely long-suffering tones. "I swear, she's more into moving here than Mom is. Come on," he adds, to Laura, and with absolutely no more emphasis than necessary for a bored preteen. "This is getting really dull again."
no subject
Date: 2008-02-28 05:44 am (UTC)Then she looks back at Stark.
"Sorry, Dr. Stark. He's kind of a brat."
Beat.
"And Mom's kind of a flake. I left her a post-it, but I guess she forgot."
Now she's just waiting for the right moment.
Posture is key.

Date: 2008-02-28 05:57 am (UTC)He's already spent more time than he should on this. He nods to the girl and her brother and starts to lift the phone again as he turns back toward Eureka Gardens.

Date: 2008-02-28 06:00 am (UTC)He grabs for X's elbow -

Date: 2008-02-28 06:05 am (UTC)It's not hard to take down a man who isn't expecting it and who isn't combat-trained.
She keeps her claws sheathed, though.
Jamie should be pleased.
no subject
Date: 2008-02-28 06:09 am (UTC)One second he's conscious, and the next he's not.
The phone cracks loudly against the pavement as Nathan Stark collapses.
no subject
Date: 2008-02-28 06:11 am (UTC)And, without hesitation, X-23 steps past the unconscious Stark, picking up speed.
no subject
Date: 2008-02-28 06:18 am (UTC)But. Well.
At least he's not dead.
And there's no point in looking a gift unconscious bigwig in the mouth, so to speak.
"Hold up a minute," he says - if he had to wait for Laura to knock Stark out, at least he's going to reap the benefits - and stoops down to snatch the phone (no point in leaving evidence) before going for Stark's pockets.
Keys. No use; Jamie doesn't know what they open. Something bulky - probably money, and that he grabs, and then saunters after X. Or at least, as close to a saunter as something more at the speed of a run can ever be.
no subject
Date: 2008-02-29 04:14 am (UTC)She is glad Jamie does not make her wait long.
"Do not contact SARAH."
Her voice is short and sharp.
"Someone might be listening."
no subject
Date: 2008-02-29 04:22 am (UTC)"So what is this thing, anyways?" he adds, holding up the phone. "Some kind of talking device?"
And can you get money for it in the open market?
no subject
Date: 2008-02-29 04:23 am (UTC)She doesn't even have to look at it.
"There may be information on it."
Like phone numbers. And e-mail.
no subject
Date: 2008-02-29 04:27 am (UTC)"Do we need information?"
It's a genuine question. They're going to be out of there soon enough, aren't they?
no subject
Date: 2008-02-29 04:31 am (UTC)X's voice is matter-of-fact.
"Maybe."
She would feel safer if they had some, too. And SARAH.
Maybe it would be useful for her.
no subject
Date: 2008-02-29 04:33 am (UTC)"Do you want it, then?"
It's not like he has any idea how to use it.
