The ropes tightly binding the metal crates together managed to keep the pyramid formation intact even as it impacted the ground. Each crate was about five feet by five feet and the entire pyramid stood at least two stories high. Some of them are empty, some aren't meant to be opened, but there are a few that contain something special.

If you can cut away the ropes and pry open the lids, you might find a real treasure! Or you might regret giving in to your curiosity. 

Don't forget to share, boys and girls.

Yeah. [Still burning the ropes a little bit at a time.] That and a couple others but the other abilities...depend on the situation.

[And this box has more ramen noodles. 4 packets. All shrimp flavored. Charlie stuffs two of them in her bag and then holds out the other two to Jubilee. Why not?]

[thelittlestbub]

Thanks!

[She tucks them into a box she's got next to her. Jubilee is dragging it around to carry stuff in. Jubilee opens a different box, their ropes cut away by the small pocket knife she'd found.]

AHA! Pencils!

[She holds the pack up triumphantly.]

I feel like I've won something.

[Jubilee grins.]

[charring]

Ramen's pretty versatile. I usually mix it with other stuff. Load it with veggies and stuff. But all I've found are cans of Beanie Weenies. That doesn't work at all, even as a thought.

[She keeps poking around, finding more cans of food, a box full of snake skins.] Jesus Christ.

[She's just...going to move away from that box and Jubilee a ways. Which is probably a good thing because the box she opens next?

There's a bang, a flash and Charlie's knocked off of the pyramid and unconscious. Her bag is dropped, parts of her skin is singed slightly but she's still breathing.]

[thelittlestbub]

[Jubilee's head jerks up and she drops off the pile of boxes, landing in a crouch. She grabs Charlie under the shoulders, dragging her away from the boxes, in case of a collapse.

After double checking her pulse, Jubilee starts doing the typical run down: breathing, pulse, nothing broken, nothing still smoldering. Jubilee pushes herself up and grabs her coat. People laugh, but this is why she carries things in her coat.

The small packet of iodine is used to clean a couple of the wounds.]

So, I hope you realize, I know basic first aid, but we're in trouble here... Waking up would help. I don't know what docs to trust and which ones not to. Going with trusting none of them.

[There's nothing from Charlie for a few seconds. And then a faint twitch of her hand, a groan and her eyes open slowly. She'd try sitting up, but one thing at a time. She blinks, looking around for a moment before looking up at Jubilee.]

Feel like I've been kicked by a horse. With hot feet. [Ow is an understatement.] What happened?

[thelittlestbub]

[Jubilee puts a hand on Charlie's shoulder, making sure she isn't going to try to get up.]

Box opened, box went boom. You are sporting some burns. I already cleaned them out, but I've still gotta bandage them.

[She pulls out a few things from her coat - including a small thing of water-based lube and some bandages.]

[charring]

Look at you, all prepared and everything.

[Charlie usually is, but she didn't think before leaving her house.] Wow, burns are not fun.

[She almost feels bad for setting The Shop on fire all those years ago.]

Shit. What happened to my stuff?

[Her stuff's fine. It's a few feet away in her backpack and a couple cans have fallen out and dented. But that;s about it.]

[thelittlestbub]

My powers burn a lot. Me, others, things. I'm used to treating burns. Plus, we can't go to the hospital. So, we learn to treat our own wounds.

[Her fingers are swift and sure, working on wrapping a bandage around Charlie's arm.]

It's over there. Doesn't look like it's been hurt. I'll go look in a sec. Let me bandage your hand.

[Bossy Jubes is bossy.]

[charring]

Powers? What can you do?

[She'll just keep talking, watching Jubilee carefully. It's a good distraction. Everything is made of hurting, she's sure of it.]

[thelittlestbub]

[Jubilee holds up a hand and her powers hiss and pop around her fingers. Then a single one rises over her shoulder and stays there, casting light.]

Detonate matter on a subatomic level.

[Her hands go back to wrapping bandages.]

They're not pretty, but they'll keep infection out, unless you're like Logan.
