Log: Remedy and Shadowcat
Who: Elvyran Adelaide and Kitty Pryde
When: Morning, August 6th
Where: Xavier's and then the lovely highways of New York State
What: Ran wants to get the hell out, and drags Kitty along. You know what that means: ROADTRIP!
Elvyran didn't exactly make a habit of sneaking around in the dark, but he's felt ... off lately. He got snippy on and off, saying things without thinking. It wasn't like him. Elvyran always thought before he spoke, weighed his words. It's happened on and off since the battle with the clones, since he killed Carol's clone. He can't help but think that maybe the crazy that made all of them go on an insane killing spree got to him, in some fashion. He wasn't insane by any means, but every once in a while.
Maybe he was just being paranoid. Either way. He needed to get out, just for a couple of days. He'd already left Hank a note.
But he didn't want to go alone. Just in case. Or for any reason, really. He'd already packed, thrown his bags into the back of his little-used car. He barely drove, because he barely went out, but it had been a seventeenth birthday present from Gabriel. ...Not for him, for the Original, but. Hey. He wasn't using it anymore, was he now?
That done, he'd snuck upstairs into the student hall and knocked on Kitty's door. It was ridiculously early in the morning, not even five, but no one else should have been up.
Kitty was a light sleeper, and the knock on her door roused her from a dream about the end of the world. Or something. The details slipped from her mind as she got out of bed and phased her head through the door. Normally at this hour she expected to see one of the students looking for help... not Elvyran, fully dressed and looking far more awake than anyone had a right to at this hour.
"What the fuck, Ran?" she hissed, trying to keep quiet so that she wouldn't wake any of the students. "Is everything okay?" She'd been spending a lot more time with Ran since the trip to Six Flags, but most of it was during normal daylight hours.
"I'm getting out of here. Just for a couple of days." It was bizarre. Elvyran wasn't impulsive, he never went anywhere without a plan. Ever. "Come with me."
"Now? Where?" Kitty stepped through the door and looked up at him, rubbing her eyes briefly. "Do you even know what time it is? Why now?"
Elvyran automatically reached over to smooth down her hair----not necessarily out of affection, it drove him crazy to see it sticking up all over the place like that. "Just because. I feel like it. I have no idea where I'm going, but there's a GPS in the car. Right now because I said so and it's early. We can leave before anyone gets up. Logan does it all the time, we'll be fine."
Kitty ducked away from his hand, though she reached up to run her own hand through her hair. Bedhead. Great. "You're insane, you know that?" Taking in everything he said, she stood for a moment, head tilted in thought, then shrugged. "Give me... twenty minutes? I'm not going dressed like this. You can make me some coffee while I get ready."
"I was going to buy coffee after we left." He got all his money back from Ren and he's loaded now, thank you very much.
"You're awesome." She grinned up at him. "Meet you downstairs, okay?" And she phased back into her room to hurry through a shower and tossing some clothes in her backpack. An adventure sounded like a lot of fun, even if she was barely awake.
