Robin's Minivan

[Will Stanton]

"Oh, right, not thinking straight, sorry."


And with that, he shifted into a solid STEEL straight jacket.

[Robin Stanton]

"Fuck are you idiots about done back there?"

[Daniel Uriel]

"I guesh sho, shinsh ee can' fucking moof," Daniel growled through his immobile jaw.

[Will Stanton]

"Sorry, Robin."

[Daniel Uriel]

"I can' eliefe your shaying shorry oo them. They fucking shah you, thish ish robably a trap," Daniel managed to squeeze out at Will.

[Will Stanton]

"If you can't trust yourself, who CAN you trust?"

[Daniel Uriel]

"I had to shtop a 'you' from killing his freaking fiance lasht month, sho you tell ee," Daniel shot back, jerking his head at Stan at the 'his' to indicate him.

[Robin Stanton]

"Getting shot in the head kinda falls under a minor annoyance in this family and why are you complaining about it anyway. Now stop being an idiot or you can go look for a safe place on your own." she says as the footspace of the car falls away where Daniel is sitting.

[Daniel Uriel]

"Right. You want to let risoners go. I'f heard that one efore," Daniel shot back, rolling his eyes despite himself.

[Robin Stanton]

"You're escorted refugees." she says in a tone that suggests she's not entirely convinced of that herself.

"You on the other hand are quickly turning into baggage."

[Daniel Uriel]

"What, tihe to shoot ee in the head too?" Daniel answered, sounding like he'd be smirking if he could move his lips.

[Will Stanton]

"No one is going to shoot anyone in the head!"

[Daniel Uriel]

"Too late for that."

[Robin Stanton]

"I will if he doesn't stop dragging us down."

[Will Stanton]

"That's a horrible thing to do, Robin!" Will said, aghast.

[Daniel Uriel]

"Right, ecause- oh for fuck'sh shake, ill you let go uff eye outh- thanks," he said, working his jaw as an eye-rolling Reaper finally let him talk freely. "She can't exactly drop me if this Sentinel stuff is true, because I'd lead them right to them once I'm out of range for her to lock me down," he said, nodding contemptuously at Reaper, "So that makes the perfect excuse to keep me sitting here. And they can't shoot me in the head, because that'd set everyone else off when they show their hand even more. So sorry, sweet cheeks, but the empty threats don't really impress me."

[Robin Stanton]

Robin turns around wordlessly and in one smooth motion draws a pistol from the holster on her thigh and shoots Daniel in the shoulder.

[Daniel Uriel]

Daniel for a moment was too shocked to really register the pain. "Or... yeah, she could do that, too," he admitted, gritting his teeth.

[Will Stanton]

"What th...Robin! What the hell!" Will said, quickly going to examine Daniel's wound.

[Robin Stanton]

"He asked for it." she just says flatly, putting the gun away again.

[Daniel Uriel]

Daniel blinked. "Dude? Don't take this the wrong way, but I kind of like your kid's style," Daniel murmured, waiting until Will's head was close enough to listen without being overheard. "Aside from the 'kidnapping us' thing. Can you keep pressure on the gunshot wound when we make our move, or do you need me to get ready do a quick bandage-job if the bitch loses her grip on me?"

[Will Stanton]

"I'll keep pressure on it," Will said, a little puzzled. "No sense over-exerting yourself."

[Daniel Uriel]

"All right. If you need to let it go, do it," Daniel murmured. "Doesn't matter if I don't bleed out if we all get toasted. I've been hit worse than this anyway."

[Will Stanton]

"No one's gonna bleed out. Just sit tight for now."

[Daniel Uriel]

"We can't sit here forever," Daniel hissed, trying to control his voice and lower it again. "We don't know how long it'll take them to get us to wherever they're taking us. I don't know how long you guys wanted to wait, but we might not have much time."

[Will Stanton]

"We actually CAN sit here forever, but don't be ridiculous. Just keep it cool for now, alright?"

[Daniel Uriel]

Daniel seemed aghast. "You mean we're not going to take over the van?" he hissed.

[Will Stanton]

"Hijack the van? Been there, done that, the other one had a better engine. No, no, that won't do. Don't worry, I've got a plan," he said, with a wink.

[Veronica Freud]

Veronica sighed at the fighting going on.

"Please stop being little shits or I will stomp this entire carload into a steel and meat crepe." She said, with absolutely no enthusiasm in her voice. She sounded tired. Also she was about four inches tall so it didn't carry much of a threat if one didn't know her.

[Aiden Mitchell]

"He has a plan I feel so much better now," Aiden said dryly.

[Will Stanton]

"Look, I've had enough out of you."

[Daniel Uriel]

"Funny, we had a plan that would've probably worked if people knew how to get off their asses and look after themselves," Daniel muttered.

[Will Stanton]

"Look, if you guys want to go about your plan, I'm sure Robin would be more than willing to let you out here."

[Daniel Uriel]

"Can't really save all your asses if we're back there," Daniel said, rolling his eyes.

[Stan Bowen]

"Indeed- We would have been in control of a van. And then what? We are lost in a sentinel-heavy time we are not familiar with. Like it or not, Mr. Uriel, we are not in control. Now please sit tight. We will be okay for now."

[Daniel Uriel]

How the hell have the X-Men survived so long without any of us along? For fuck's sake... Grumbling a little, Daniel shut up.

[Aiden Mitchell]

"And how do we know there are sentinels?" Aiden asked, "But I will be perfectly happy to go along if just for the satisfaction of saying 'I told you so' when this all goes to hell."

[Will Stanton]

"I think I'm gonna trust the bona-fide professional hero here over a couple of Magneto's goonies, thank you very much."

[Stan Bowen]

Stan ignored Aiden's quip, focusing on the environment outside, looking for familiar landmarks.

[Aiden Mitchell]

"And if what she says is true it appears all your vaunted heroics certainly have paid off," Aiden sneered.
