I'm on the side of a highway offramp when I see Sofia driving a convertible. She waves at me and I wave back, slightly puzzled. I watch as she misses the offramp and keeps driving on the interstate. I run to the side of the building to see where she went. A few women nearby walk over and I tell them my daughter knows how to drive but sometimes just "keeps going." They promise to keep an eye out for her.

I walk into the building thinking about trying to find my teenage date. I try to remember what she looked like during our last encounter in the hallway of the school. I remember being distracted by her little bit of baby fat protruding from her dress. I keep thinking about how we might kiss or make out since we have the freedom of having our own car.

I head into the bathroom and notice how filthy it is. There is toilet paper strewn all over the ground.

Later...

I walk into a lobby or lunch room and see Chris Rock (a co-worker) behind a counter/podium. I kneel down to pick something up and notice his shoes are falling apart. I ask him what's up with his shoes and he tells me his house fell apart tonight & wrecked everything. I ask him if his feet are hurt and he tells me they're fine.

I talk to another guy and we try to one-up each other about our various misfortunes. I try to find my other pair of shoes to give to Chris.

Later...

I'm defending a room with a bunch of armed people. We're all watching a doorway for attackers. I have a weapon but it doesn't have a lot of rounds. I suddenly notice 2 assault rifles and a shotgun hanging just outside the door. I dash out and grab them, tossing them to my comrades as I run back inside, slamming the door behind me. I man the shotgun as we all intently wait for attackers. We all stay very still and listen for any signs from outside. Suddenly the door bursts open and we begin firing at a young boy on a motorcycle. He crashes inside the room and grabs for one of us. I fire at him twice at close range but the shotgun only fires small sprays of liquid (which do hurt the boy). We nab him and I yell "Empath!" Our telepathic alley runs over to try to scan the boy's mind. When that doesn't work, I yell for Professor Xavier to do the same.

I head out the door and have to make a big leap to the level below. There is a husky young Asian man there who is an alley. I yell for him to take on "Phenomena,"a powerful enemy. The young man is now a boy with a handful of food runs towards the melee nearby and tries to draw out Phenomena with food.

As the two of them wrestle, a Girl Scout doll comes to life and commands the boy to take over a Humvee. I grab the doll and chide her for making the boy do more than he's capable of. She says that she's seen him do more than that. I see the boy wrestling awkwardly with Phenomena and we run to help.
