New York: Sewer Surprise

[bluesy]

Sitting on a bench in central park was never a good idea, even more so after dark, and especially if you were obviously a runaway. The young German boy grumbled as he shifted his backpack and tried to get comfortable. Growing up sheltered in rural Germany, and then lounging in a mansion in upstate New York, however, did not a street-smart person make. Even Kurt seemed to realize how bad of an idea this was though.

Every sound had him wide awake, putting him completely on edge.

"Vhat vas I zinking, I should have just asked somevone to help me get home...," but Kurt had known exactly why he'd done what he'd done. Everyone had left, after the professor and jean vanished, and the mansion was destroyed, no one really felt safe or at home there. Everyone had just left. He didn't really blame them, but he couldn't help feeling just a bit betrayed by the fact that none of them had asked him to come with them.

With a slight headshake, Kurt decided he wasn't getting sleep on the bench, and decided maybe it was better he used this time to find a safer place to spend the night. Throwing his pack on over a shoulder, he started to wander the park, not really watching where he was going, but taking care to listen around him. Last thing he needed was to get jumped.

After a little bit, the dark haired boy came across what looked like drainage pipe. He stepped in front of it and was happy to find no knife-weilding hobos like he'd been expecting, and saw it seemed to lead to under the park. Into the sewers most likely. A slight crinkle of his nose at the idea, but quickly remembered that back home there was a group of mutants in the sewers, maybe it was the same here.

Glancing around, he made his decision, and headed into the pipes.

"Look, I'm telling you. There's something familiar about the abilities those girls has. I mean, I think it had something to do with those reports about people possessing powers." a nerdy voice echoed in the tunnels.

[kelik]

"Whatever they are, it's doubtful they're working alone now. After what happened..." Said another voice.

[bluesy]

At the sound of the voices, Kurt's eyebrows furrowed. They didn't sound much older than him, if that. The way they were talking about powers though, didn't sound like they were mutants. Walking carefully, he stepped out of the water, trying to keep as silent as he could. Other than them talking though, he couldn't hear them.

He decided to follow them, if they were in the sewers they might know a safe place to stay.

"We kick their shells!" The other snickered.

[AnT]

If the boy were to find them, he would see humanoid turtles walking down the intersecting tunnel. "Raph, are you kidding?! They pulled a sonic-scream and took off with the loot. I hardly call that a 'kick their shells'."

[YolkaEd]

"Well, what do you suggest we do, Don?" he hummed as he rubbed his head a bit.

[bluesy]

Kurt carefully and quietly stepped to the intersecting pipe. Even in the dark tunnel he could see pretty well, so peeked around the corner to see if he could spot them. .... .... And he did. His eyebrows knitted in confusion and he blinked several times.

He'd seen a lot of odd mutations before, his own included, but he'd never seen giant talking turtles before... At least they looked like turtles... Might have been another type of reptile.

"We'll need more info on those girls, we don't even know where they went..." Says the leader, as he kept walking along.

[AnT]

He had a point. No way those girls owned a hover craft like that. "Well, Mikey, I'm surprised you didn't make a comment about those girls looking like something out of comics. Aren't you into those comic book and superhero stuff?"

[bluesy]

Kurt shifted a bit to try and hear a bit better when he heard something.

Tnk! Tnktnk...sploosh!

Kurt froze, glancing at the water near him, rippling. He must have hit a rock.

"scheisse"

[kelik]

"...." He turned around at that. Yup, he heard that sploosh. "...guys? Did you hear that?" He put his hands on his blade handle.

[YolkaEd]

"...someone's following us...?" Grabbing his nunchaku, he looked warily behind him.

[AnT]

"It's the sewers..." he dryly said. "It's probably a rat."

[Alien-Child]

Whoops, read Kelik's post to fast!


"Tst. Like I'm going to let some girls beat me up?" Raph crossed his arms.
