Joanna felt the panic rise what had he done to Alex she thought back to the last time."NO,what do you mean done , what have you done to him?" she cried out "you basterd."

I see panic on her face. "Don't be overly concerned. I haven't done anything as grotesque as what Apocalypse has been known to do. I like subtlety." 452 is rolled out on a gurney. I check his arms. Good. "Excellent work, gentlemen." I turn back to Miss Carpenter. "When I mentioned that you were special, because of your vavanium, I left out one detail. The clones were designed to use it."

"use it, how?" she asks , now trying to gain information from him.

ZaCara came too when she heard a voice, "Stryker!" When she looked around she saw Joanna to her left and Logan to her right. but then when she looked again they were gon and she was alone. she heard the screams of Logan all over again, she felt so hopeless, and so helpless. she hated that her brother was in trouble. she struggled to get free but couldn't, when she calmed down, she didn't hear the screaming any more. it was just her imagination.

Joanna turned to her right a movment told her ZaCara had woke , but she turned back to Stryker waiting for his awnser (listen im having to go in about 10 minetes,k)

(Sorry, Ive tried to answer three times now. I keep hitting the wrong thing.) "Why the same way you do, my dear. He now has a vavanium skeleton, a telescopingclaw in each finger, one between each knuckle, and one underneath each wrist."

Joanna looked down at Alex who lay still uncoiose "I'm sorry, so sorry"she said softly

"No need to be sorry! He's very powerful now, and the Vavanium won't detract from his healing factor, as it does with you."

(got to get some sleep, i'll be back later, Pm me what happens, k, night .)

"I'm powerful, eh? Well, let's test that." I've been feigning sleep the whole time. I pop a claw, and hold it against Stryker's neck. "let her go."

Joanna sees alex's claws spring out of he hands "Alex, are ya ok?"she asked struggling against the straps.

"Just fine, Jo." I turn back to Stryker. "Did you hear me? Let her go."

"I'm afraid I can't do that. Any more than I can let you go."

With all her streangth she pulled both her arms free then slashed the restrains on her legs and waist to drop down to stand next to Alex."you don't have much option, i leard a few tricks while i was with sinister"

I punch Stryker with my unclawed hand. He drops. "C'mon, let's get ZaCara and Logan."
