Rogue

Professor Xavier had an almost surprised look on his face, "Miss Crawford, I don't wish to expose you to undue danger. You may stay here with me, while Rogue goes to investigate these men. If you wish, you may accompany me to meet a friend of mine that is actually very good at acquiring vital information on people... like for example these men that you'd captured on your phone."

Rogue smiled at Samantha and shrugged, "It's alrigh' Sugah, Ah've been doin dis kind of thing for a while now. Sound like when Ah go check dese felles out, you're gonna meet Babs. She's nice, an' Ah think you'd get along just famously. Tell you what, when Ah get back -- we'll all get some lunch. Whatcha say?"

"I appreciate not being exposed to undue danger, Professor," answered Samantha quietly, with a fragile smile, as she felt another stab of pain behind her eyes, as the headache was reaching migraine proportions, and it was getting harder for her to hide her discomfort. While her skull pounded to the beat of her heart, the number of small objects in the room rattling around increased, as her telekinetic abilities threatened to unleash themselves. She'd managed to rein in her abilities, but her control was tenuous at best, and she was keeping it together by her fingernails. It was only a matter of time before objects started flying around. "I'd like to help any way I can. I'm a pretty good internet researcher myself. Um ... just so you know, every electronic device in this school is screaming in my head right now. If you have some way to make that stop, I'd really appreciate it."

Glancing up at Rogue, Samantha replied with a smile, "That sounds like fun."

Rogue had a thoughtful look come over her face, as she regarded their guest, "On second thought.... Call meh crazy, Prof., but dey girl might be handy right now. Especially with dis place givin her a headache -- with her and all. If Sam comes with meh, you can monitor mentally Prof. When dey use deir phones, Sam might be able to track whatever hideout dese gents have. Whatcha think Sam?"

Samantha found herself nodding her head in agreement with what Rogue was proposing, before her common sense could stop her from jumping into whatever was going on at this place. She'd been lucky enough to be able to get past these guys lurking at the bus station, the next teenage runaway might not be so. 'See something, say something,' was all fine and dandy to a point, but this was 'see something, say something, do something'. Besides, she was coming here for their help, it was a good idea to be able to show she was capable of helping them too.

Samantha answered, "I think I can handle that. If one of them gets on the phone, I should be able to get GPS coordinates of the other location, assuming they aren't using some sort of device, like a dropbox, to mask the location. Not sure what you have in mind to do with the information after that, though we can always give an anonymous tip to the FBI."

"If des gents are lookin to nab girls travelin alone, yeah we contact the FBI," Rogue paused for a moment before she continued, "Now if they are huntin mutants, we'll need ta find a way ta put a stop to 'em. Probably means callin SHIELD... Just don' like owing dem. Anyway Sam, the Prof will help monitor to make sure you don' get in trouble. You'll want to leave your gear here. Is there anythin you need before we go?"

"If these sleaze-balls are hunting mutants, we can stop them with a nice fat document dump on Wiki-Leaks or Fox News or somebody, assuming I can find where they're hiding their files. Race-haters can't afford to have their activities publicized, draws too much attention, and Julian Assange can spotlight them big-time, while SHIELD handles the arrests," said Samantha thoughtfully; figuring she could contribute to the effort, assuming she could keep her powers under control, if she were careful, and didn't get too cute with them. "People might be afraid of metahumans, but most fair-minded individuals won't like the idea of them being hunted just because they exist."

Samantha was glad to know somebody would be watching over her while they conducted their little excursion, and when Rogue asked if there was anything she needed, she nodded, "Yeah, something for this headache, and a bite to eat so it won't tear up my stomach, would be nice. Access to a computer bigger than my laptop would be a good thing too. My laptop may have a hexa-core processor and five teras worth of memory, but if I need to transfer some really big files it may not be enough. I'll have my phone with me, which has also been modified big time, but that'll still be like draining a swimming pool through a soda straw depending on what we're dealing with. Thinking about it, some way to change my appearance could be helpful for the cause. These creeps may think I'm bait if they figure out they've seen me earlier, and rabbit before we could do anything."
