Prelude

The X-Men, a courageous group of teenagers who have spectacular powers of concentration, diligence, resistance and their other powers that make them such exceptional people. These teenagers are lead by a powerful mutant named Charles Xavier. He runs a school for mutants where they can learn to control their powers and teach them not to use their powers against normal people out of anger. His teachings help his students to learn and except that everyone aren't going to except their gifts and talents. His students learn and grow to eventually become X-Men where they try to keep the peace between humans and mutants. One instance is where the X-Men fought Apocalypse, who was trying to turn the whole world into mutants. Now the X-Men are trying to live a normal life until the next catastrophic event that will most likely destroy the whole world.

The Beginning

"Kitty no! You know that ah hate that music, now turn that off before ah take you and throw you and your shit outa hea!" Rouge was fuming mad at Kitty Pryde for the fifth day in a row for having her music blazing to the point where the whole mansion could probably hear it.

"Look unless you own this whole room then like ill turn it down but until you have complete ownership of this whole big ass room then you'll have to deal with it!" Kitty said turning the dial up a little bit more.

"Do you want me to knock you out right hea right now? Cause all ah have to do is touch your short ass and you'll be sleepin like uh baby!" Rouge retorted turning red in the face and taking off one of her gloves ready to jump at Kitty in a second. Kitty instantly turn around and looked Rouge in the face.

"Look Rouge your not gonna bring me down today, I don't know what your problem has been for these past few days but whatever it is you need to deal with it and like go fuck off!" After that comment Rouge fell silent and jumped on her bed putting her glove back on. Kitty saw this and cut off her music walking over to Rouges bed and sitting down. She looked at Rouge who had looked as though she had been smacked in the face. Then all of a sudden Rouge started balling like she had heard of a family member dying. All Kitty could do was look at her and rub Rouges back not knowing what to say, then as Kitty was about to say something Rouge stood up shocking Kitty.

"Ah haven't been able to ... ah, ah..." Rouge stammered trying to find the words.

"Rouge, I cant really help you if you cant tell me whats wrong. You know that we have been through everything together so you can trust me. I can help you whatever it is." Kitty looked concerned having all the sympathy in her voice that she could use.

"Kitty, ah really think that ... that you and the others are lucky. If ah could ah would change my mutation so that ah could be able to touch and to kiss other people. Ah cant even imagine growing older without having someone special there in mah life." Rouge couldn't stop the tears from falling down her face.

"Look Rouge, you know that all of us are here for you. We are your family we will always be here for you, I will always be here for you. And I know you'll find someone who can give you the emotional love that you need. Not everything is like about sex and stuff like that and you know that. Don't worry about it cause without your powers, the world would be like all mutants and we would all be trying to kill each other. So cheer up girly cause like we need to hit the mall!" Kitty said cheerfully. This seemed to lift Rouges spirits a little bit. The two girls walked out of their room hugging each other something that was surprising to the other students.

"Vhat happened to you?" Kurt said pointing at Rouge.

"Nothin and if you don't want the fur knocked off of yah then you'll shut up now little brother." Rouge said playfully.

Kurt suddenly teleported infront of the girls and grabbed Kitty and with a loud bamf they were both gone. Rouge looked like she wanted to kill Kurt, and thought that if Kitty told Kurt what she said then she would throw Kitty into the danger room and put it on level 10.

"So tell me vhat you and Rouge vas talking about." Kurt said with excitment in his eyes.

"Nothin, Kurt If you really want to know then you'll have to get it out of Rouge. I mean she's like your sister so if anyone can help her with her problems its you." Kitty then without saying another word phased up through the ceiling to where Rouge was standing.

--------------------------------------------------

"So Rouge whats been happening with you lately? I haven't seen you around at all." Scott Summers asked trying not to push any buttons with Rouge.

"Nothin, ah've just been occupied with thangs that have been on my mind. But ah thank that Kitty and ah are gonna go to the mall lata. Do you maybe wanna come along? You and Jean and the others of course." Rouge said nervously not actually wanting to invite Jean.

"Well yeah of course, any way we can have some fun around here and try living normal lives sounds good to me." Scott said with one of his famous charming smiles, sending Rouge blushing.

"Ah don't know what time we are supposed to go but ah'll let you know." Rouge left the room leaving Scott to himself.

"Now, where is Kitty and my little brother hidin. Maybe he teleported them outside or maybe their in his room or..."

"Im right here Rouge." Kitty said phasing through the floor looking at Rouge like she was proud of herself. Rouge took this look a different way and snapped on Kitty.

"What did you tell the little furball? Ahm gonna kill the both of yah if he tells anyone what we discussed today!"

"Rouge I didn't tell him anything, like I thought that if you wanted him to know you would tell him yourself since you two are like brother and sister." After that Rouge looked a little taken back by what Kitty had told her.

"Well Kitty I thought that you and belabor mouth would be deep in conversation over that. But I was wrong. And I really hope we don't have a danger room session today since we don't have any more uniforms." Rouge said with a little bit of relief in her voice.

"Well don't get your hopes up girls cause we got all new uniforms for you guys. And expect to have a hard workout in an hour cause the danger room level is on 8 today, I think you guys should be ready." Logan grunted.

"Your uniforms should be in your rooms hanging up so go put them on and be down stairs in an hour, you got it?" Logan walked off to the elevator and looked back at the two girls as he stepped on to the elevator.

"Can you believe that, I mean that was creepy right there its like he was waiting there all that time for us to bring that up." Kitty said shivering after she finished.

"Well lets get up to our room so we can check out our new uniforms." Kitty phased her and Rouge upstairs where they ran into the room and shut the door. Rouge opened up her closet and looked at the long black leather outfit. She turned on the light and closed the door so she could change into it. It fit perfectly and a little too tight around the hips but it still looked nice. The sleeves went all the way down to her hands and her gloves went over the sleeve. She notice that she had high heels connected to the leather pants.

"Now how in the hell am ah supposed to run in these?" As Rouge stepped out of her closet she saw Kitty in her pink and black leather outfit. She saw that Kitty had a skirt attached to the top half of her outfit there was an outline of pink going all the way down the long sleeves and outlined on the skirt. The pink X stood out more than anything.

"How do you like it Rouge?" Kitty asked looking delighted at what Logan or Ororo picked out for her and the heels made Kitty look taller.

"Yeah but you look a little to grown for me, no im just jokin. Bobby is gonna love your outfit." Rouge said watching Kitty's face go from extremely happy to embarrassed.

"Well it doesn't matter what Bobby thinks about it and he'll probably be lookin at Psylocke or Dazzler or Magma then me." Kitty said lookin infuriated by that time.

"Kitty don't be so dramatized, he'll definitely be lookin at you so don't worry about it, yall two just need to go on a date and stop this playin around."

The two girls walked down the stairs to see the other kids outfits. Since there were new recruits on the X- Team there were a lot of X-Babies trying to get a glimpse of who made the X-Team. Rouge looked at the sheet on the wall trying to see who all from the New Mutants made the team.

X- Men Team A:

Cyclops

Jean

Rouge

Shadowcat

Nightcrawler

Iceman

Storm

Havok

Gambit

Magma

Wolverine

X-Men Team B:

Beast

"What! Do you mean Gambit is here at the mansion, when did he get here! And why is he an X-Man already this is bullshit what in the hell is going on!" Rouge sounded like she had just found out she had flunked her midterm.

"Rouge he was here like last week you don't remember him coming in from the airport?" Kitty said taking a step back in case Rouge wanted to swing at something.

"NO, NO ONE TOLD ME THAT HE WAS HERE! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME HE WAS HERE!" Rouge said screaming at the top of her lungs but Kitty phased down stairs before Rouge could jump down her throat again.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"Team A go into the danger room and Team B come up to the control room to see how they do on level 8." Professor Xavier said using his telepathy so he could be heard over all the excited voices.

"Wolverine and Storm have new uniforms too, cool!" Bobby said to Kurt after the announcement, but Kurt didn't seem to be listening to Bobby.

"Does my uniform look too ... too tight man?" Kurt asked touching his new leather and looking down at his appearance.

"Look, Nightcrawler Kurt my friend its leather it'll take time to really feel comfortable in it so lighten up cause this danger room session is gonna be a killer." Bobby walked off to go and talk to Amara who was standing next to them looking for Tabitha.

"Bobby, im not in the mood for your jokes at all so leave me alone I've got to talk to Tabitha about something important." Amara walked away from Bobby quickly and looked back at him to see his reaction but he was gone.

"Kitty I've been looking for you." Bobby said running up to Kitty, he looked down at her uniform and his whole jaw dropped.

"Don't get to excited Bobby cause we have three uniforms to choose from and I think im not gonna wear this one for a long time." Kitty said trying not to laugh. Just as Bobby was about to say something the danger room doors opened and everyone started to progress into the danger room.

"The new improvements have made the danger room bigger and more realistic than ever before so when we get started don't be surprised." Beast said over the intercom. The eleven members of Team A stood in the middle of the danger room until they felt a rush of movement. The environment changed to one of downtown New York. The streets were littered with trashed cars and broken glass and there were big foot steps in the concrete. Fires blazing everywhere, Scott looked around and instantly issued plans.

"Storm and Jean fly up and be a look out for any trouble, Kitty and Iceman you two go east, Rouge and Gambit go south, Nightcrawler and Magma go west. Me, Havok, and Wolverine will go north." As he finished his orders the team felt the ground rumble. As they felt the rumble get louder they found what they were going to face. A sentinel. Kitty ran towards the sentinel and phased its leg through the floor causing it to fall to the floor. Iceman quickly started trying to freeze the sentinel in place but the robot broke out of the ice and the concrete its leg was stuck in. The big metal robot swung at Kitty who on instinct phased through the fist hurling at her. From the air Storm and Jean both were battling a sentinel in the air. Another one landed right in front of Kitty and Iceman shooting a blast at the ground knocking Kitty into a wall.

"Shadowcat is out, Nightcrawler go get her now!" Scott called out. Magma flared up and started hurling fire balls at the big robots.

"THERE ARE TOO MANY!" She yelled, Wolverine ran over to help her fight off the three sentinels she had in front of her. Havok firing off laser beams cutting into sentinels like a razor. Scott by his side trying to knock some of the robots out too.

"JEAN! NO!" Storm yelled, she flew down trying to catch the falling Jean. She used a wind current to catch Jean and lay her on the ground gently. Scott heard Storm and ran over to them both quickly, leaving Havok behind alone.

"What happened?" Scott said nervously, looking down at Jean.

"She couldn't hold them both off and one shot her in the back I think she's okay, just knocked out." Storm rose back in the air and started hurling lighting bolts at the robots sending them crashing to the ground. Then with a raise of her hands she created twisters and swept several sentinels into a building. Scott was still attending to Jean and Havok was trying to fight off five sentinels by himself. As he shot through one of the sentinels sending it falling to the ground another one came up behind him and was about to shoot. Kitty waking up yelled.

"HAVOK BEHIND YOU!" He turned around and was about to shoot at the robot but Rouge came running up tackling him away from the path of the explosion.

"Thanks Rouge." Havok said turning over getting to his feet.

"No time for that now Havok we've got to get these bastards finished off now!" She ran to Kitty who was laying down looking drunk from her head wound. Magma sent three lava rifts up hitting two sentinels. Knocking them back into the third one.

"Well thats three down but how many more to go?" Magma said with a little worry in her voice. She ran over to Wolverine who was rubbing his head and letting the rest of his wounds heal. Then suddenly the room went dark and everyone found themselves looking at the blue walls of the danger room. Everyone walked over to the door, some limping and some being carried.

"You all did very good, better than Logan expected you would." Professor Xavier looked over at Logan who grunted and didn't comment.

"The only thing that bothered me was you Scott. You left Alex all by himself to fight off six sentinels he could have died if that was a real field mission. Jean was fine in Ororo's care." Xavier looked at Scott with disappointment in his face.

"Professor I didn't mean to leave Alex, its just I heard the fear in Storms voice and I had to go see if Jean was okay. But why did you cut off the session professor?" Scott looked like he wanted to go hide under a rock for embarrassing himself in front of everyone.

"Im sending Team A on a field mission while Team B trains here in the danger room. Beast already prepped the jet and is ready to go. It'll take about an hour to get to your destination so you guys can rest up on the way there. The brotherhood is up to their little antics again."

"Where did Gambit and Nightcrawler go?" Rouge asked looking furious.

"Ill answer that question cheiri. I asked the blue guy to take me to the kitchen for a little snack I was hungry." Gambit said smiling at Rouge as though he was about to kiss her.

"Gambit that was inappropriate and you Kurt should know better. You cant just go to a kitchen in the middle of a field mission Gambit, especially in an instance like that."

"Alright, alright, I get it mon ami. The fuzzy one was hungry too."

"Yah and I thought that it would only take a second." Kurt said looking sheepish and ashamed.

"Well we'll have to deal with this situation later, right now you have a job to do." As he finished he turned away in his wheelchair and went back into the control room.

"Logan is staying here with Team B so Scott and Jean go make sure that the jet is fully ready for our little trip." Strom insisted and the two sped off like they were told. Everyone else soon would follow after going up to the kitchen for a little snack before getting on the jet.

"How was the workout girls?" Bobby said coming up behind Kitty and Rouge. The two girls turned around and looked at Bobby as if he was an alien. Their faces turned from amused to dying with laughter. Bobby was puzzled by this and made an ice mirror to check his face.

"AAAHHHHHH! WHAT IN THE HELL IS THAT ON MY PERFECT FACE!" Both Kitty and Rouge fell to the floor with laughter. Kitty started phasing not able to control herself from this funny event. Rouge stopped laughing, still amused, and put a hand on Bobby's shoulder.

"Look Bobby, its just a pimple and you probably got it from today's danger room session. So get over it and lets get to the jet." Rouge looked at Kitty who was whipping away the tears on her face and they both left Bobby standing there looking at himself in the ice mirror.

----------------------------------------------------

(Jeans thought speak)

"Professor can you tell me anymore information on what we are actually getting into. I know you cant get anything out of Mystique but maybe you could try and probe Lances mind or even Wanda's just to see if Magneto is indeed in this."

"No Jean I cant Mystique must have some kind of mental block on them all. You and the others are just going to have to scope out the situation and proceed from there. I'll see you when you get back Jean."

"So what did the professor say?" Scott said looking as worried as a person could without seeing their eyes. Jean just looked at him and then blanked out.

"JEAN! JEAN WHATS WRONG JEA..."

--------------------------------------------------------------

"Scott? Professor? Whats going on? Where am I?" Jean was confused, scared, feeling so many emotions all at once. She thought that maybe Mezmero was doing this but then she heard a familiar voice that sent a warm sensation running through her body.

Jean I need to show you something and what I show you, you cant tell to anyone. Jean what im going to show you is the future of you and the rest of the world. What I have seen in Apocalypse mind." Suddenly images of the future X-Men team were rushing through Jeans mind. She saw Scott, Kitty, Rouge, Kurt, Colossus, X-23 and Iceman but not her own image. It puzzled her, she was about to ask but she got her answer. She saw the flames of the Pheonix, she saw herself destroying, hurting, the ones she loved. She saw her own fate, at least what she could make out to be her fate. Then she saw the mutants protests, the world turning against mutants more than they did now.

"Jean I know thats a lot to take in, and im here if you wanna talk about it anytime you like. Im just trying to prepare you for whats in store with you and the power you will develop I don't know when but if you ever feel like your powers are overwhelming you then lay back and tell me. Don't worry about anything else at that point, whatever you do we are all here to help you. We'll talk when you get back."

-------------------------------------

"Jean are you okay? You scared me there for a second." Jean felt like crying but she held her tears back, she saw everyone's worried faces and quickly threw on a fake smile and sat back in her seat ready for the take off.

"Im fine, I was just chatting with myself, lets get this mission over with I need to get back to talk to the professor." Everyone quickly sat down and buckled up for the ride. The ride was a little awkward, everyone was worried about Jean, especially Scott. And with the Brotherhood up to no good that put a strain on Scotts concentration. He could hardly think of mission plans and statistics for the team. Storm cleared the rain and bad weather in the area so that they could see where the Brotherhood had been.

"Look! That must have been Avalanches work." Jean said startling everybody, Scott and Storm looked out the window and saw that the ground had been split in to two.

"What do you guys think they are looking for, cause like Lance wouldn't just be doing this just to be doing it, you know?" Kitty said defensively.

"Kitty, Lance is with either Mystique or Magneto so there is no telling what he would to under their control." Scott said trying to be easy on Lance for the sake of Kitty. Storm gently landed the jet in am open grass field.

"Okay, we don't know why they are here and we don't know where they are yet. But we do know that they are somewhere very close, so we are gonna have Shadowcat and Nightcrawler scan the area so we can have the upper hand. They aren't very smart but they know we are on our way. So Shadowcat and Nightcrawler, you guys ready?" Scott asked looking very self confident.

"Im already on it, see you guys later." Kitty said phasing down through the floor of the jet. Kurt teleported right after Kitty left. Kitty was gliding through the ground, scan the upper area while trying to concentrate on staying in her phasing state. Then after ten minutes she saw something, she phased up through the ground and took her communicator out of her pocket.

"Cyclops, I have located Blob but no one else so far. Im out of sight right now so I should be fine but maybe Jean could you know like scan my area for somebody hiding or..."

"I'll take that little miss Shadowcat!" Toad said hiding up in the tree, Kitty automatically went into defensive mode and started phasing, running through trees, she knew Toad was following her, she had to get him into an open area. Then suddenly she stopped running.

"Come on Toad! You little grosse slimy asshole!" Kitty knew that it was now or never, at that exact moment Toad jumped down from the tree and whipped his long tongue at Kitty.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What happened to her? Where is she, Jean please try to contact her using your telepathy." Rouge said in a worried motherly voice. Everyone was worried about Kitty but they knew she could handle herself.

"Rouge, Kitty is very smart, she knows we trained her in case of a situation like this. She'll be fine, lets just wait to hear from Kurt and then we'll go out there and look for her." Storm said putting a hand on Rouge's shoulder.

"How about me and Rouge go out there now and search for Kitty, she might need some help with fighting Blob and someone else." Iceman suggested seeing how worried Rouge was.

"Thats a very good idea Bobby, Scott what do you have to say?" Storm said looking at Scott for a moment.

"Okay, Iceman you and Rouge go about ten miles into the forest, you should be able to find her there. We'll be waiting here until we hear from Nightcrawler, I'll contact you guys if we leave and get into any trouble and you guys do the same." With that note, Iceman iced up and took Rouge up in his arms, and the two of them slide down the opening to the jet.

-------------------------------------------------------

"You've got to be faster than that Toad!" Kitty was running again, she was confused as to what she should do if no open area came along. She was tired of running and she felt like she had no other choice. She stopped, dead in her tracks, this confused Toad.

"What are you doing little miss Kitty Kitty?"

"Im tired of you Toad so im doing something I have never tried before." Kitty bent down to the ground and put both hands to the soft, wet, grass. She had never tried this in her life, but somehow she knew it would work. Toad looked at her in confusion, not noticing that trees were falling into the ground all around him. Then suddenly he felt him and the tree he was perched on falling into the ground, more like phasing into the ground!

"Ahhhh! Yo this isnt fair yo!" Kitty had successfully phased all the surrounding trees into the ground, but she wasn't done yet. She rose up raising her hands in an awkward way. Toad could see that she was doing something else now, she was phasing the trees back up out of the ground! Toad couldn't move fast enough to avoid the tree and it hit him square in the chest. He went flying up into the air and then hit the ground hard.

"He's out for the count, I cant believe I just did that." Kitty looked at her hands expecting to see marks on her fingertips or something weird on them. But she saw nothing out of the ordinary, this relieved her.

"Now for me to go and find that communicator. But where should I star... aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

-----------------------------------------------

"That was Kitty, Bobby go faster something just happened to Kitty!" They were just a couple of miles away. Bobby was going as fast as he could, then they came up on the area where Kitty and Toad had been fighting. They saw Kitty lying on the floor unconscious. Rouge jumped of the ice slide and ran over to Kitty's side.

"Rouge, we need to get out of here now. There is something wrong here, touch Kitty and absorb her powers and lets get the hell outa here." Rouge took off her glove, and reached to touch Kitty, but she saw a shadow, a big one at that, she turned around and Blob was behind Bobby.

"Bobby look out!" Bobby turned around and threw an ice spike at Blob. Blob started laughing and started walking away from Bobby. He was heading towards Rouge and Kitty.

"Hey you overgrown pig, where in the hell do you think your going? No one turns their back on me." Bobby fired ice at the ground at which Blob was about to step. Blob fell with a big thud, cracking the ice on the floor.

"Get Kitty out of here now! Go Rouge I'll be fine!" Bobby gestured for Rouge to go ahead without him and Rouge took his advice. She grabbed Kitty and started running away from Blob and Bobby.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Nightcrawler to Cyclops. Yah man their all here alright, except for Blob and Toad and Pietro. Is Kitty okay?" Kurt said hiding behind a wall in an abandoned warehouse.

"Rouge and Iceman went to accompany Shadowcat when she was attacked. They should be fine, they haven't called for any backup so I guess their heading back now. But you keep an eye on them and make sure they don't leave that warehouse. We are on our way now." Scott and the rest of the team walked out of the jet. Storm lifting everyone in the air and making fog to cover them as they flew through the area.

"There's the warehouse. We need to get in there quietly. Nightcrawler come in."

"Yah, Cyclops, Nightcrawler here."

"Are they still in there?"

"Yah man their just talking to each other like their aren't waiting for us to make our move."

"Then thats good. Teleport out here so you can get us inside undetected."

"Okay. Im coming now." Kurt said teleporting with a bamf outside the warehouse ready to get the others inside the building. Storm and the rest of the team landed outside the warehouse making sure they were quiet. They met Kurt at the back of the warehouse, ready to ambush the Brotherhood but then the ground started to shake. The warehouse started cracking at the sides, about to fall down if the earthquake didn't stop.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Bobby was trying everything to stop Blob from getting to Rouge and Kitty. Rouge was trying her best to keep running, but with Kitty's extra dead weight it was impossible for her to keep running and the high heels weren't helping either.

"Blob! Fight me like a real man. You tryin to beat up girls, that is just pathetic. The Iceman will cool you down."Bobby ran up behind Blob, firing blasts of ice at him in every direction. Blob had no intention on paying attention to Bobby. All he wanted was Rouge and Kitty.

"I've had enough of you IceBobby. Cant you tell I have something important to do?"Blob turned around faster than Bobby had ever seen Blob move in his life. Bobby was caught off guard not prepared for anything Blob threw at him. Blob threw himself on Bobby, body slamming him into the ground. Rouge hadn't noticed that Bobby nor Blob was behind her anymore, all she knew was that she had to keep moving. But what would Blob and Toad want with Kitty? She asked herself this question, which she had no answer to. Then suddenly a gust of wind past her faster than lighting, she knew exactly what that was. She put Kitty down and took off both of her gloves.

"Whereare you Pietro? Or should ah say Quicksilver? And what in the hell do you want wit Kitty?"

Rouge was standing up now, she knew that all she had to do was touch Pietro for a second and she could slow him down.

"WhyRougeyoujustdonthaveacluedoyou? I mean I thoughtyouxfreakshadalittlecommonsense or maybe youwouldhaveoneofyour mindreaderstoreadoneofourminds?"Pietro said quickly as he always talked.

"What do you mean Pietro?Wait, your not just after Kitty are you? Your after ..."

"You too Rouge." Blob said coming up behind Rouge and hitting her on the head from behind. Rouge fell to the ground with a soft thud, Pietro looked infuriated.

"Blob!Whatinthehelldidyoudowiththeicegeekishestillontous, didyoutellhimanything?"Pietro took Rouges gloves and slid them on her hands making sure he didn't touch her skin.

"No, I didn't tell the boy anything, and he's out like a light, so don't worry. Let's just get back to the others with these two."Blob picked up both the girls and started hauling them threw the forest.

"ManifwemessthisupmyfatherandMystiquewillahveourheads.Well not my headbutallofyourheads. So if anyofthoselittlepests wake up youknowwhattodo."

"Man Pietro you really need to slow your speech down, cause man I couldnt understand a word you was sayin. It gave me a headache, and now im hungry."Blob said looking at Pietro in an asking to go quickly grab him a sandwich kinda way. Pietro ignored this remark and said something under his breath so that Blob couldnt hear it.

"Where's Toad?"Blob asked with a worried look on his face.

"Man im gonna kill Toad, heletagirlbeathimup especially since it was Kitty Shadowcat Pryde."Pietro said trying to slur his words but with no success.

"Pietro, come in. Do you have the girls?"Magneto's voice came in on the radio in Pietro's pocket. Pietro fumbled with the device until he got it out of his pocket.

"Yes father, we have both Kitty and Rouge, butithinkthattheywillwakeupsoonsoyoumightwannasend somethingoverheretocomepickusup."Pietro responded nervously talking faster than he usually did.

"PIETRO SLOW DOWN AND TALK NORMAL!"His father yelled into the radio making both Pietro and Blob jump.

"Yes father, we got them both and we are coming your way. I just wondered if you could maybe send some of your metal spheres to come pick us up."Pietro sounded very awkward talking in a normal speed, this made Blob laugh hysterically. Then Blob stopped laughing and stepped back making Pietro want to do the same.

"Your rides were already on their way boys. And don't worry about Toad he's here with me. Bring the girls to me and then you can join the others in the fight against the rest of the X-Men."Magneto then cut off his radio and Pietro did the same. He and Blob put the girls in a separate sphere and then they both stepped into their own spheres. The spheres closed, floated in the air, and speed away, out of site.

----------------------------------------------------------

"Scott! I need you!"Jean belted out in thought speak. Avalanche had her cornered, Jean was trying everything in her power not to over use her powers taking professor X's advice. But she had to do something.

"Storm! I need you! I need somebody now!"She screamed one more time before she was forced to take action. She waited, looking at Avalanche hoping that somebody would come to her aid before he made his move forcing her to make her's. Then Storm flew over them with fury in her eyes, she threw a lighting bolt down at Avalanche. It struck right in front of him sending him flying into the warehouse wall.

"Jean are you okay? You don't look to good, im worried."Storm said flying down to the ground to tend to Jean. Scott came running towards them ready to fire his optic blast at anyone who came near. He ran to Jean asking the same questions that Storm had asked earlier.

Im okay, im just watching how much power im using, thats all. But ... oh no something bad has happened to Kitty, Rouge, and Bobby. We have to go help them now."Both Scott and Storm looked at Jean with both confusion and concerned looks on their faces. Neither of them knew what to say, all they could do was round everyone up and take Jeans word for it.

"X-Men we have to retreat. Head to the X-Jet we'll brief you there, Cyclops out."
