"Alright kiddies! It's time to go!"
Wade took the jump on leading the group to the hangar. Cable and Laura would have to pause their conversations, even if only for a second. The three stood in the front, directing this mission as they said they would. There was a serious air around the group, something about actually walking towards this dangerous mission filling Shawn with uncertainty.
A large and heavy hand set itself on Shawn's shoulder, weighing him down just a little. He could tell by the metallic shine that it was Cable, probably hoping to settle his nerves.
"You grow up to be what you've wanted to become. You're essentially immortal, and don't need to eat food. But yes, you can." Cable seemed to answer each question as they were popping up in Shawn's mind. Of course, they had gone through all of this many times before. Still, that didn't deter Shawn from being amazed at his future. He was an X-Man? an immortal X-Man who didn't need to eat food? Cable It had to do something with his mutation, Shawn was sure of it. Was he like a living lightning bolt in the future? He wanted to ask, but Cable was already shaking his head in denial. Though smiling, Shawn hung his head a little. He should have known that Cable wasn't going to tell him everything.
He was almost going to ask about a love life. Was he going to settle down? Maybe find his parents and see them for the first time in a long time? Maybe start a family? Was he even a family man? Shawn stilled himself from asking those questions. It'd be much more fun to let it play out and be a surprise to him, than know all of the answers and simply anticipate them.
In the Hangar, Booker stepped up in front of everyone, standing tall in hopes of getting them all (especially Rose Mary) to listen to him and heed his words.
"Alright everyone. When we get in the Blackbird, I'm going to need all of you to strap down and stay secure. We're going to be going at supersonic speeds, and I want to make sure that all of you are safe in that jet until we touch down. It's going to be about three hours in the plane until we reach our destination, so I hope you're all ready to get comfy."
"Cool." Shawn nodded in understanding. "But where are we going? Cable didn't exactly tell us that part."
"Hermosillo, Mexico." Laura gave the answer, stepping onto the plane with nothing else to say to anyone. Her accent showed a little more than it did before, but it wasn't surprising to Emma, Booker, nor Shawn.
With everyone in, Laura was Joined in the cockpit by Cable, leaving Wade to deal with the little rapscallions in the back with Emma and Booker.
Shawn tried to sit with Heidi, being the one on that team that he knew the best. Had Jacob been on the team, Shawn would have found a way to sit between the two of them. "So, get any cool answers about the future? Apparently I become immortal. Probably through eating raw plasma or something."
The Blackbird shook once, the platform underneath the plane rising to allow them access to the sky. Once the skies were clear, another shake alerted them to the active turbines. In a split second, they were up in the sky and off to the border.
