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!

Sure. [Ali nods, brushing this off. She can't dwell on it right now, she has Kevin to think about, Lois to think about. She's pretty sure being desperate wouldn't rate with Forge much, anyway.] Let's just get this done. [She glances up at him, offers a weak smile for his efforts.] The sooner we do, the sooner we can go find...Kev. [She says his name carefully, trying it on for size again. It's okay, she thinks, once they find him everything will be okay.]

So, Ali. Vermont. How do you wanna get us over there?

[She frowns, her search for telepotation tech coming up fruitless. She's wary of the time and, though she wants to keep poking around, it's running out for them. She starts to tidy as much as she can.]

Drive, I guess. I was hoping to find something that'd make it easier for us, but... [She shrugs, motioning for him to follow her out.] It's not like we can steal the jet or anything, and neither of us flies.

Hey, I fly! I mean, about as much as a penguin, I suppose.

[Ali and Jono busy themselves with trying to rearrange the papers back to the way the way, hurry out of the lab, and lock the door behind them.]

I mean I get like, a little bit of a running start, and so.

[Now, filled with purpose, the two of them start running down the hallway.]

Let me just grab some gear, and meet me at the garage! We'll just take my car. Come on.

[Ali nods and books it over to her room, packing a fast duffel: clothes, uniform, warm outerwear. Music. She makes a quick scan, about to shut her door and run to meet Jono when she pauses, texts Jono to leave his phone before she tosses her cell phone on her bed. She won't need it, and the less chance for Forge or anybody to track them, the better.

When she gets down to the car, Jono already has it running. She jumps in, tossing her bag in the back, and looks at him, her features set.]

Let's blow this joint before somebody tries to get in our way...

Yeah, man. I hope you deleted that sent message.

[Jono had deleted the text as soon as he received it, tossed the phone on his desk, and left the room door open as though he were going to be right back. Now that Ali is in his car, he establishes a telepathic link between the two of them, a weak one that will allow them to communicate faster, but not probe into each others' minds. That's not an ability of his, and even if it were, both Jono and Ali are too private to do anything of the sort.]

Let's get.

[He guns the engine.]

[Ali dozes while Jono drives, her dreams troubling, and she murmurs in her sleep. She starts awake after one particularly jarring nightmare, to find Jono pulling into a rest station. She frowns.]

How long was I out for? [She notes the fast food restaurant attached to the gas station of nods her head toward it.] You get gas, I'll grab fuel. What do you want?

Anything, Ali, anything! Bloody hell! I thought you knew me better than that by now. Don't you?

[By the time Jono comes back from paying for gas, Ali's waiting for him, leaning against the driver's side door, smoking a cigarette and sucking back soda from a straw. She hands Jono a giant paper bag full of enough food to feed about four normal people, but this is Jono, so...

She holds up a hand for the keys, opening the door she's leaning against, ready to slide in.]

I'll drive, you eat.

[Wordlessly, Jono complies. He's not normally too comfortable with handing the wheel over to someone else of his car, but it's a long drive. And he's hungry. After they've been on the road again for awhile, and Jono's devoured his food, he looks at Ali.]

So, kind of a stupid questions, but... got a plan?

[Ali drives more carefully than she normally would, knowing Jono's anal retentive attitude toward his car. When he asks the question, Ali can't help but laugh, giving him a wry look across the car.]

Why's it always gotta be my plan, then? Can't you think of something every once in a while? [This earns a chuckle for both of them, though Ali quickly sobers, realizing they don't have much of a plan, and should probably get cracking on that. She thinks back, trying to remember everything she shut out of her mind from the last time she approached a brotherhood camp.] We can't take the ground trails, they're too easy to monitor. That's how...that's what I did wrong last time, I think.

We should ditch the car a town over and hitch into a trailhead. Once we get close to the main trail, I say we take to the trees. It'll be trickier, but ultimately better cover. I think can... [She frowns, not actually sure if she's capable of what she's planning, but her will is set and she is determined. It's their best chance of knowing where to go, she they're not wandering aimlessly through the mountains.] If I can concentrate, I'll be able to grab the sound for a couple of miles at least, hopefully, pick up which direction we should go in.

[She looks at him, her face concerned. If she fails, she's not just letting down herself, she's letting down Jono. Kevin. Lois.] What do you think?

[Jono affirms this all with a nod, and soon they're able to pull over and leave the car. Jono starts freaking out just a little bit.]

I'm SOL if I don't get this car back. I hope it's safe.

[They then take to the woods, with Jono keeping quiet so Ali can concentrate. He speaks one last time.]

We should be real close.
