Mission report: North Atlantic

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

Team members: Cyclops (lead), Cable, Northstar

Intention: Retrieve Shiro Yoshida and return him to the mansion.

Mission Status: Success.

Summary: We were alerted to Shiro's emotional breakdown by Manuel de la Rocha and scrambled the jet to retrieve him. He released his powers when we were roughly 2-3 miles from his position, and we required telekinetic assistance from Cable to stay in the air. Northstar exited the plane and retrieved Shiro. We proceeded back to the mansion and encountered difficulty landing. Jetstream compensated for the lost thruster and with some further telekinetic assistance from Cable, ensured we got down safely. The Blackbird was seriously damaged and will be non-operational for an indeterminate amount of time.

I'm getting the impression that you really would have preferred me to try and catch the plane again and burn myself out.

We all make sacrifices, Nathan. In this case, you ducked the bullet and got lucky.

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

I love how this is all my fault.

[x-jetstream.livejournal.com]

You would.

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

What the hell is your problem? Do you think I deliberately broke your plane?

[x-jetstream.livejournal.com]

By omission of action, maybe. Mostly, I could really use the help in putting it back together. To do that without a lot of expensive equipment requires either you or Lorna, and Lorna doesn't have the fine control I need.

That leaves you.

But if you want to cry about it, I won't disturb you.

Bite me.

Another fine mature nuanced response. I'm impressed.

Take your skirt off and get down here and help.

Fine. You want me down there? I'm coming. You want me to lift the fucking plane, I'll lift the fucking plane.

I don't need you to lift the fucking plane _right now_. I needed you to lift it _yesterday_. Once we get the engine replacement parts in, THEN I'll need you to lift the fucking plane.

Ahem

Haroun, what the hell are you doing in the hanger with a sprained back? We had you soaking in ice water last night to stabilise your internal temperature, and here you are doing your best to aggravate yourself again. Go. Rest. Now.

Nathan, same goes for you. Close the lap top, take a couple of those pain killers I gave you and go back to bed, or I'll have Moira do it for you.

Don't make me come down there.

Sorry, Doc.

You know I love you, but the sooner we get the plane back airborne, the better.

Besides, all I did was hobble. No lifting whatsoever.

Haroun

The plane can wait a day, Haroun. And taunting the overloaded telekinetic didn't exactly endear you to me either.

*shakes head* Boys.

Point of fact, I have neither the control nor the strength at this point. Though I'd be happy to help out as much as I can.
