Brothers. Soulmates. Not mutually exclusive. This is a meme for those that are soulmate brothers/sisters/siblings.

No need for prompts, just throw people here, and have at.

Kevin snorts and starts heading for Grand Central. Not where he wants to go, but it's the best place to catch a bus. "Think we're more like to see snakes." Kevin comments, as they start to blend in with the crowds. He tosses the empty cup into a trash bin. He hates tomato soup, but literal beggars can't be choosers right now.

He manages to pick a couple pockets on the way to the bus station. That'll give them some extra cash. Not like they haven't gone hungry for a while. They'll live on the road, and then some.

"Your turn to buy the tickets." He hands over his share of the cash, and hangs back. He doesn't want to go into the bus station where there's sure to be cameras and shit that are monitored by Sage. No doubt they've found him on the street cameras, but this is an enclosed area and he doesn't want to start a fight there.

Rachel nods, takes the ticket money, and hustles to the station. She's an old pro at this by now, acting just normal enough to make herself not memorable, looking the clerk in the eye and smiling as she purchases the tickets. It's not unusual for someone to buy tickets with cash, even these days, so at least that part goes easily.

She tips her sunglasses back down over her eyes and scans the area, looking for trouble, both her own and whatever Kevin's might be.

There's no trouble, per se. There are people who seem to be looking around, like tourists. There's a man headed toward the ticket counter with red sunglasses, a Chinese young woman in a yellow coat chattering away at him. He steps past Rachel, with a soft 'excuse me' and steps up to the ticket counter, asking about prices.

It's a busy day in Grand Central, but when isn't it? It's called 'Grand Central' for a reason. Kevin's hanging out near the door when he turns and thinks he sees someone he recognizes. He's paranoid for a reason, and that paranoia pays off, when he spies the yellow coat.

"RUN!" He yells, and then all hell breaks loose. A statuesque black woman breaks away from the crowd and races toward Kevin. The man in red sunglasses lunges for Rachel and fireworks explode into the air. Then, people with earwigs in start running toward her and toward Kevin. Kevin flattens one with a garbage can upside the head. When Rachel gets to him at the door, he grabs her hand and runs. Suddenly there are black SUVs everywhere and men and women in uniforms. Kevin dodges around a group, suddenly stopping and dropping allowing an electrified net to go sailing over their heads.

The insignia on the door of the SUVs is well known: SHIELD. The individuals with powers? Why those would be the X-Men, trying to get back one of their students.
