Greensboro, NC Train Station - Afternoon

[demonbelthazor]

When Bel, Phoebe, Jamie, Willow, Peter, Lana, and Zuko arrived at the train station, they found it surrounded by cops. There were several crushed police cars flipped on their sides, and the police were keeping everyone back from the station itself. Moving among the crowd that had gathered to watch, they picked up on "mutants" and "kidnapping."

This was not good.

Jamie looked absolutely devastated as they walked around, trying to figure out what had happened. Bel was pissed. If he'd been able to shimmer, he would've been here to protect Marie. Or even get her out of there before anything even went down. Now she was gone and they had no idea where she'd been taken.

Phoebe couldn't believe what they were seeing.

"Dear God..." She looked around. She had never seen anything that looked like this before. "Marie...?"

Where was Marie?

[demonbelthazor]

Cole put his arm around Phoebe's shoulders. "We'll find her," he said. "I promise."

Zuko was walking a small distance away, taking in the chaos around. Judging by everyone's reaction and what he had seen on the trip, this wasn't normal for this world.

"Who did this?" he demanded.

[demonbelthazor]

"Somebody strong enough to flip cars over," Bel said. "Or a telekinetic."

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

Having no clue what telekinetic was, Zuko looked around. "An earthbender or an airbender?"

[demonbelthazor]

"Uh, air I guess?" Bel said. "We just gotta figure out where they took Marie. It wasn't her parents who did this, that's for sure."

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

"Why would anyone but her parents be after her?" Zuko demanded to know.

[demonbelthazor]

"If we knew that, we'd know who had her," Bel grumbled. "Maybe someone knows about her powers? And wants her to use them on somebody?"

"Maybe someone who wants to hurt her?" Willow suggested. She instinctively reached for Peter's hand.

Phoebe leaned against a wall while her eyes looked around the area. Her hand dropped down to rest along the metal of a door and she heard the blood rushing in her ears.

An attack... cars being tumbled over and over... screams... Marie cornered by someone who looked like Jamie and another person... fighting... Marie trying to get away... hairy creature carrying her out over his shoulder... the Statue of Liberty... Marie tied... Statue of Liberty...

Phoebe gasped and tilted sideways slightly.

"Phoebe, are you okay?" Willow asked.

[demonbelthazor]

Cole grabbed Phoebe and helped her keep her balance. "What is it, what did you see?" he said.

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

Zuko looked confused around the group, having no clue what was going on.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe looked at Willow and nodded slightly. "Premonition," she explained to her friend.

She swallowed and then looked at Cole. "I saw them take her. She was scared and one of them looked like Jamie." She sighed softly. "Some hairy monster was carrying her. They're taking her to the Statue of Liberty. It's what I kept seeing."

[demonbelthazor]

"New York City's, what, nine or ten hours away?" Bel said, again cursing his lack of shimmering ability. "I say we get back in the van and head there now. That's why you had the preomonition, to tell us where to go."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"See, and you all laughed at me when I brought my computer and my books," Willow said. Off of Peter's look she added, "What? I can't save my friend and do homework?"

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

Zuko was with Peter on the giving Willow a weird look. "Do we have to get into that van again?" he checked.

[demonbelthazor]

Bel nodded. "Yes. And we turn around and go back the way we came."

Lana had been looking around at the destruction wide-eyed. She hadn't seen anything on this scale since Smallville. And though she knew they weren't talking about the type of mutants she was familiar with, they didn't seem that different.

She let out a deep breath and headed back to the van. Jim wasn't going to be happy about this.

Jamie was looking out at the wreckage with a blank expression on his face. If he heard what Phoebe had said about the Statue of Liberty, he didn't show it.

He picked up a piece of bent metal on the ground thoughtfully as he headed back to the van.

"Willow? Phoebe?" He finally croaked out. "I need you guys to work on a spell."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow was now doubly glad she had her computer with her. "Got something in mind?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Jamie said quietly as he played with the metal piece a little more. "I'll give you more details on the way."

Then he wiped his eyes with the back of his hand. "She's going to be okay. Right?"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"See this?" Willow said, pointing at herself. "This is my Resolve Face. Which means that not only will Marie be okay, but we are going to severely kick the patootie of whoever messed with her, just you wait and see."

Jamie gave Willow a small smile as he opened the door to the van. "Thanks Will. Let's get out of here."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"She'll be with us again in no time," Willow said. "Just wait and see."
