Summary
After the events of Out of the Blue, GX7 was left behind in the south. He stole a bike and started driving, attempting to get back to Seattle. He's not sure why, but it feels like home. For now.
Background
Seven realized that his team was on to his infected nature at the end of Out of the Blue. Attempting to act in line with some metahuman standards, he still attended the meet to support his team while hiding from them. As the handoff went from bad to worse and he displayed some of his abilities by jumping on a biker and melting him, some on the team started to turn on him. Taking the biker and bike that he was still on, he fled the scene, with the biker and his bike.
Roll with the Punches
Finding himself in a ditch after crashing his stolen bike, Seven starts to head toward city lights. It's night so he's not bothered at the moment. Eventually he finds 'My Brother's Place', a bar on the outskirts of Nashville. There are several motorcycles outside, so Seven goes in to case who he might steal one from. Spending some time, he spots a dwarf who looks like a biker and he leaves to ambush him. Luckily for our little antagonist, the dwarf and his friends spotted Seven, so they make their way outside since he looks like a guy who stole a bike from their friends. This does not go well for the bikers. A confrontation mounts and eventually one of the bikers takes hold of Seven giving him the opening he needs to melt the guy and take his bike. Seven escapes the scene after some shots are taken before the crew gives up the immediate pursuit.
A Little help from your Fiendest
At this point, Seven calls the fixer Fiendest. She advises him to head to New Orleans where she has some friends that might be able to help. During the day, he holes up in a barn. The farmer lets the cows out, but misses the bike cleverly hidden under a tarp. When the farmer returns, Seven overhears some news about gangers looking for someone.
Intent to Ambush the Ambushers
Planning to make an Ambush, he instead finds himself traveling south surrounded by several bikers. Shots are fired, Seven jumps from bike to bike, and woodpulp really messes him up. In the end, Seven is barely alive and barely victorious. But he fills up on the things he needs, grabs a new bike and heads south to look for medical supplies.
Bo and the Sherriff
Seven makes his way to Millport Mississippi. There he finds a vet clinic and a flashback to his days in the MCT facility hospital wing. With shaking hands, he steals a medkit and bolts for the sewers to hide. Meanwhile in town the Sherriff Jim Bob and his trusty dog Bo are looking for the culprit. He's nearly found by the willey beast, but he's hidden just well enough. Over the next couple of days he hitches a few rides south.
