Logan raised an eyebrow at Storm's look, returning one of his own that clearly said 'do I look like the comforting type?' He straightened to his feet and took a step back so the human didn't feel crowded.

"We can get you to a hospital," Storm said, her voice very quiet and calm. The sound of sirens in the near vicinity made the comment almost moot. "Though it sounds like help is coming as it is." She moved closer, but not close enough to crowd the woman, offering physical support if she needed it.

She was beginning to feel a bit more comfortable around them now as they seemed to want to aid her in getting help. "What about my friend?" she asked softly, still not able to look at her friend.

Logan withheld a sarcastic comment at that, sure this wasn't the time or place and just slowly looked down at the body. He turned towards him, slowly crouching down to inspect it. "Storm," he said quietly, finding the needle the mutants had used and picking it up carefully in his fingers. Now, he didn't know the ins and outs of science, but there was still a tiny bit inside the syringe. Someone in the X-lab might be able to inspect it.

She turned her head when she heard Logan quietly say her name, and registered what he held in his hand. A colorful expletive in Swahili she hadn't used in a long time was her first comment, and she nodded that he should keep hold of the thing until Hank could take a look, but she had other problems. Turning her attention back to the young woman, she only said "We'll have to see what the paramedics say." It was the only thing she could think of, though chances were he was dead.

She glanced towards the man and saw him holding up a syringe. "They, they stabbed him in the neck with that," she said, not exactly sure what drug was in it but it had almost instantly killed her friend.

Logan sniffed it in inspection, his sensitive nose wrinkling at the pungent scent. Definitely something odd about it. He understood Storm's nod and silently pocketed it so the paramedics wouldn't try and take it from him.

Storm nodded at the woman, hearing and seeing a police car and ambulance pull up in front of the bar. Their fight must have caught someone's attention. "They'll try to help him," Ororo said to her, nodding at the paramedics and finally coming forward enough to put an arm around the girl and help her to her feet.

"Ok," she said, thanking the woman quietly as she helped keep her steady. She hoped the police would be able to do something and eyed the mutants on the ground. "What about them?" she asked softly, afraid the police who were barely even out of their car might hear her.

"Yeah, about that.. " Logan muttered as he looked back at Storm. They were mutants, a human was dead on the floor from an injection and HE was currently carrying the needle.

She caught Logan's glance and understood. Now was the time, as it was often said, to get their asses in gear and get out. "They're knocked out," she told Alison. "And pretty soon they'll be arrested. As we will be if we don't go." She checked her over one last time to make sure she was steady on her feet. It felt awkward just to leave but they had no other options. "Take care." She smiled at Alison before turning to leave.

"What?" she asked in disblief, as if she hadn't heard anything she had just said. They were just going to leave her here?

"You'll be fine," Logan replied, looking anxiously between her and the cops that were now running over. "Ok, no more time, c'mon!" he said to Storm, taking hold of her wrist to hurry her along as he darted off down another alley.

Ororo was jerked into a run but went with it, keeping up with him and looking back to make sure they weren't being followed. It was her turn to jerk him to a halt when she found an open doorway into an abandoned building. "Logan!"

Alison looked from the two mutants who were quick to leave before back at the officers that had made it over. She just hoped this was all a bad dream.
