The Maker stood looking down on the groups fighting below. The being sighed, disappointed that its grand plans were being delayed. Suddenly, an idea occurred to the watcher. With a wave of its hand all the fighting below stopped.
'Logan, I need you to come here,' Xavier asked of the gruff man.
Soon the doors to the chamber slid open to admit the short Canadian, who strode to the center of the area next to the Professor, who had turned his chair around to watch his compatriot.
"What is it Chuck?" Logan asked.
"I was checking in on the team that is out with Cerebro, but I couldn't get a read on any of them. Take Jean, Scott, and Ororo to find out what happened."
"What of the Elf?"
"Is he back? Yes, then take him as well."
Logan's face was locked in worry as he left to gather his team. Xavier sighed and slouched into his chair, tired and scared for his absent students. It wasn't long before he heard the jet take off.
"What happened?" Kurt inquired carefully.
"We don't know. Xavier tried checking in with the team that went out but couldn't get a read on any of their minds."
Silence filled the cabin after that, fear filling the minds of those inside. There weren't too many reasons for a telepath to be unable to reach someone's mind. The only reasons most people knew were unconsciousness or death. However, the five didn't want to consider either of those happening to their friends.
It didn't take long for them to fly to where the others had last been. After they landed they could see the X-Van parked on the side of a building, all the doors opened and empty. The group started to look around the area the second they stepped off the jet.
Random scorch marks littered the area, showing the intensity of the fight that happened here. Wolverine sniffed around, determining who their opponents had been. There were several people fighting here. He growled when he picked out exactly who had fought who.
It was awhile before Kurt yelled out. Everyone soon found their way over to the teleporter to discover he had found a young boy. The boy's face was solemn but his bright blue eyes watched Kurt curiously.
A/N: I had this interesting little story come to mind the other day. I'm pretty sure it's going to be short, but I have no idea at the moment. This story will continue with the help of reviews, although I don't like being a person who begs for approval, I really want to get an idea of what everyone thinks.
