Wicked ran down the park to the other side. She had a bag with her, a black backpack. She looked back as some people chased her. Some gangmembers. She however was more agile. And quicker. She jumped up the fence climbing up and over. She ran further down the street taping into the ghosts endurance.
Some streets down she entered another park. A more abandoned one. She ran down it. However she stopped at seeing part of the gang standing there. She turned around and stopped again seeing them closing in on her. Wicked spread her arms creating ghosts around her. Her eyes glowing as she did. One of the ghosts took the bag and flew off.
As they closed in Wicked let the ghosts fight for her. After a while she had no choice but to advance herself. She did fairly well. Moving fast agile and precise she knocked down three of them before getting five on her. She got forced down on the ground. Her hands forced on her back. Wicked struggled as she felt some razorwire pulled over her wrists and pulled tight. She got pulled up and held in place. She knew the figure standing there. "Slash."
The young man looked at her. "Wicked." He walked up to her. "Where is it?"

At that moment, a striped shield with a star in the middle smashed into one of the men holding Wicked down. Captain America loomed tall behind her. "Get away from that girl..." he said as the shield flew back into his hand.
THen he charged. He smashed one of the men in the mouth with a gloved fist and kicked another in the stomach, smacking another in the face with his shield at the same time. "I really, really can't stand guys who try to pick on kids." he said. He simply assumed these were another band of sickos attacking a young girl in a park.
In less than a minute, all of the men had been felled, taken completely at surprise. Cap wiped a trace of blood off his shield. "You're alright, kid." he said to Wicked, getting rid of the razorwire, then helping her up. "You'll be fine. Just get on home." He looked around and noticed that the young man who had been speaking to her had vanished. He wasn't among the unconscious bodies.

Wicked looked at him. Her eyes started to glow. "If I had one I would." She said and snapped her fingers. The ghost returned and dropped the backpack down. Wicked catched it and swung it on her back.

Cap backed away. He knew at once what it was. He had encountered enough of them. A mutant. His mind raced. It was never safe for mutants of course, never had been, but now... with only a few left and anti-mutant sentiment so high...
"Wait." he said. "It's not safe for you without a home." He paused. His first instinct was to send her to the Xavier School, but Xavier was missing.... still... it seemed all he could do. He extended a hand. "I am a member of the Avengers. If you come with me, I can take you to a place you'll be safe." His eyes looked down at her. "Trust me."

Wicked looked at him. She slowely band through her knees moving her hand to her boot. She looked at Captain America, or so it would seem. In a flash she had a small throwing dagger from her boot and threw it past him into the throath of someone comming up behind him. She walked over to him and pulled the dagger out.
She moved her hand up and to the man she just killed. A white cloud like form came from him. She looked at it and spread her arms. It went in her through her chest. Wicked closed her eyes and opened them once more.
As she did this Slash was looking from behind a tree. His eyes narrowed and he to now showed his power. Spikes grew from his skin. He slashed them through the tree where he was hiding which was placed just behind Wicked.
Wicked felt a blow in her back and went down as the tree hit her. She looked down seeing the tree pinning her down by her legs. She looked at Slash who now charged at her.

Cap very rarely felt out of his depth but he was near to feeling it now. Here was some mutant girl who had some sort of... soul or energy absorbing power being hunted down and apparantly unaware how dangerous it was for mutants to be out.... and she was an expert aim with a throwing knife.
Still, he could work that out later. Her life was on the line. Even as this other mutant, whoever he was, charged the girl, he sprang into action. His shield smashed into the person, knocking him aside, and Cap ran forwards to put himself between the girl and the mutant. "I don't know who you are or why you're here but you are getting to this girl over my dead body..." he said. He cast a glance at the girl to see if she was alright...
And in the precise moment he was distracted, the other mutant leapt at him.....

Wicked closed her eyes. She became a cloudlike figure. She soared fast near America, then formed herself again. She moved her arms up. Closing her eyes a green wave thundered to Slash, as it hit him the Morlock flew back. Wicked now moved one arm out and up. A green ball appeared. "Only one way to finish off what has died, the heart will not work, let the soul be at peace." She spoke. The green ball shot at Slash before he could come up.
The green ball hit him in his chest, a loud scream sounded. Wicked looked at him as his body turned pale. He died.
At that moment Wicked's legs gave away from under her.

Cap looked at Wicked's unconscious form, eyes wide, not entirely sure what had just happened. After a moment he stooped down. He knew one thing; this girl needed help. He scooped up her unconscious body in his arms. It was time to head to the X-Mansion.... a thought came to his head. THe Sentinels at X-Mansion were certain to register her as well....
He made a decision. He'd take her to the New Avengers HQ. Maybe Wolverine would know what to do. And then he would return here.. and clean up the mess. "THey don't prep you for this at the army barracks.." he muttered.

Wicked moved a bit. She slowely looked up again. As she saw someone held her she changed back in the cloudlike form and appeared in front of Cap. She looked at him as she tilted her head to one side.

Cap's mouth opened slightly and he backed away from the spectral form. After a moment he exhaled. "Okay... who exactly are you, are you a mutant and if so, what are your powers?" he asked, getting it all off his mind at once. "Because I'm beginining to get freaked out here and that's coming from someone who has been in multiple alternate realities."

Wicked looked at him. "I am Alliana. Or Wicked, I am a mutant I can controll ghosts and create them." She moved her hair back. "Also I can make myself ghostlike." She walked to the backpack and picked it up, as she did some files fell out. She kneeled down and started gathering them.

"O...k..." said Captain America. "Listen, I'm not sure if you're aware of this but... um.. the mutant race has kind of... um..." he tried to phrase it as sumpathetically as possible. "Gone nearly extinct.... It's not safe for you on the streets and a lot of thugs like that bunch might try to get you again. I think I can take you somewhere safe." He assumed they had just been common street thugs.

"You mean the Morlocks?" Wicked asked as she put a SHIELD file in her backpack. "They just hate me for leaving them."

Cap's mind was spinning. Morlocks? That sounded familiar. And... and hating this girl for leaving them? He DEFINITELY needed to get this girl back to Stark Tower. "Come on, honey." he said. "If you follow me we'll be able to help you out for a bit. I know some people who can help." His mind was racing. Wolverine was the only X-Man at the Mansion. He was here in Washington because he had heard Spider-Man and Tony had had some trouble with Titanium Man and he needed to get back now anyway.

"What makes you think I would trust you?" She asked as she swung her backpack over her shoulder. Wicked had some trouble with trusting people, most of the time when she did they turned on her, besides her powers where freaky and she knew it to damn well. "Believe me, you don't want me around."
