SECOND IMPORTANT NOTE: It's been nearly a day since John has disappeared, along with Logan. There are whispers and rumors floating around school that John has left for the Brotherhood again and Logan has followed to skewer him. Some people say they ran away together to fall in love and join the circus though. Keep it in mind!

[Normally, Jono would probably have snapped at Ali to get her act together and shape up. Now, looking at her red, puffy eyes, he is completely awkward and doesn't know what to say.]

Uh... there there, Ali. [He pulls her into a half-hug, and then leans her back to look at her at arm's length - and his arms are pretty long.]

I'm coming up with a few decent hits on my online search, but it's not fast enough. People are already gone. Some may know for sure where he is. [Jono swallows nervously, now resorting to saying him instead of Kevin's name.]

Somebody knows. That's all I'm saying. We'll just have to find out, and go to him.

[The hug is a comfort, awkward though it is, and she wipes her face with the corner of the blanket as Jono's words are sinking in. Her eyes snap to clarity at "Somebody knows."]

Who? [She straightens, throwing off the blanket and ushering him inside her room, peeking down the hallway to see if anyone's around. She's getting the feeling the two of them have been left to suffer blindly in the dark intentionally, and she doesn't like it. She closes the door and puts a small part of her mind to monitoring the sounds in the hall, damping their voices.] Who knows? When did this happen? Why weren't we told?

[Panic hits her for a split second, thinking of her sister. Kevin would be safe considering any mission would be centered around rescuing him, but Lois? She instinctively grips Jono's arm, her fingers digging into muscle.] Who's gone already?

[jono-stars.livejournal.com]

I was looking for John earlier before I went out for a run, and a few of his things in the room are gone. But I mean -- not like, completely empty. [Jono's quick to tack on this last part. The last thing they want right is more people leaving.]

I don't know for sure who all is gone, but it's definitely emptier around here. People are buzzing. I don't know who knows, but someone sure as hell does. And we have to find out.

[dazzlerock.livejournal.com]

Okay. [Alarm bells are ringing, but finally, finally Ali has some reason to pull herself out of the rut of entropy she's been in. She breathes deeply, trying to clear her mind.] Okay, okayokay. I know Forge's been working on some super secret project for Logan, it could be nothing, but it's somewhere to start. I think he's in the city for a meeting this afternoon, I'll find out when. We'll go, check things out; I'll need you to come, I don't understand any of that tech crap.

[She rolls her shoulders, feeling adrenaline creep into her cells again.] In the meantime, we should get around. Keep you mind open for noisy thinkers, and I'll do what I see what I can hear.

[jono-stars.livejournal.com]

Right. [Jono smirks at "noisy thinkers." He gives her a curt nod and then gives her an encouraging slap on the shoulder.]

Call me, or send me a telepathic message, whatever. Get word to me on when we should meet at the lab. We'll figure this out. Even if there are no solid answers from Forge's lab, we might be able to connect the right dots together using what I found from my online searches.

[He gives her another reassuring squeeze on the arm, and then, for the first time in months, looks prepared and purposeful.] We'll find him.

[dazzlerock.livejournal.com]

[She nods, grabbing his sleeve and turning him back to face her as he's leaving her room.] Nobody knows about this, Starsmore. Nobody. [She meets his eyes with earnesty and urgency.] This is just you and me.
