After the meeting, the group moved to the X- Men van that was driven by Colossus. Colossus went off Shade's directions, driving the group wherever Shade wanted to go.
"It may be better if I stay out of sight. I don't want any one to think I'm some sort of authority." Colossus told the group. "What do you think?" He looked to the teens. Colossus clearly thought a great deal about the mission.

Devon looked at Colossus and nodded. "You are sort of a giant. We want them to talk to us. Maybe hang back and if we're in trouble we can call for help.
Her head felt heavy. And she felt... it wasn't pain. She just felt... not good.
Devon focused her energies to be awesome instead of sick or whatever. She never got sick. One of the benefits of being a regen. That and slowed down aging thing. That was cool too.
"Do we have any of those radios here?"

"A few of them will probably know me...if only by reputation. I didn't spend a lot of time in the light." And most of them will have had an opposite schedule as him. They'd have tried to find a safe place to sleep at night, and would have panhandled during the day... ...Unless they were smart. Because sleeping at night was much more dangerous than during the day. For most people, anyway. "It might be best if Colossus hung back. A lot of them are skittish." And why wouldn't they be? If he'd see Colossus coming, he'd have hidden somewhere. "We're here to warn them. Some of them are going to be pretty...pathetic looking, but they won't trust you, or they'll be too proud to take whatever it is you offer. Even if it's a few dollars. Just...keep that in mind."Streetwise 2 (The Homeless); Contacts 1 (Street People)

"Yes, that's what I was thinking." Colossus agrees. "I will park the van here in this shopping center parking lot and browse these shops while you work. I'll be on hand if you need help. I'll be wearing one of these that you can call me on."
He hands each student a voice activated walkie - talkie.
"If you need me, please don't hesitate. I'll see if the shop owners have seen anything odd in the meantime."
Shade glanced around the spot that he had ed him to. It was a good time of day for this, people were moving in the parking lot with expendable money - money they could give to a panhandler. The non - students were looking around curiously.
"Sally used to walk around here." Jimmy stated, referring to a woman with dish water blonde hair who panhandled in front of the McDonalds. "We'd hang here, sometimes. It's been a couple of weeks."
"They probably wonder where we've been. How much should we tell them?" Priya rubbed her neck. A small nervous red rash was beginning to show. "We should be honest." Jimmy weighed in. "That we were abducted. Hiding it doesn't help them stay safe."
Ryan and Chelsea nod, but Sophia frowns and bites her lip. "Its a lot to believe. A lot to take in."
As you talk, you've had time to recall all of the nooks and crannies of this place. A shopping mall lightly traveled with the parking lot facing a free way on ramp that has some traffic. The bridge twenty feet past the on ramp is lined with shrubbery and trees, always counted on for shade and privacy. The fence alongside the bridge has been worked loose in places, leading down to a canyon that normals don't frequent. Water forms in the wet season and run off can be safe at times. Some people would likely be by the bridge or the canyon.
