xXx

It took me all of half a second to run out the door. On the street people were screaming and running away, shoving into me as I pushed myself in the other direction. People didn't take care to not bump into me, but I hardly noticed. I barely knew what I was doing. Running towards a fight involving mutants and giant robots? Was I insane? And after sending Kurt away all those months ago, what did I expect now?

But still I carried on, running.

When I finally got to the fighting zone, it was a lot to take in. Buildings were crumpling and people were still fighting to get away. Some of the X-men worked on getting people to get to safety while also avoiding shots from MRD and the sentinels. The X-men were falling, and I could see more sentinels flying closer overhead.

Where is he? I thought panicky, looking around.

I didn't see Kurt, but I saw Jean and Scott working together to take down one sentinel without it falling into a tall building close by. Storm sent heavy cold winds at the MRD men while Rogue took their guns. Wolverine was taking on two robots by himself, typical.

A girl about my age was cornered by five MRD men by a collapsing building. I didn't know her, but her uniform told me she was an X-man. I guess she joined the X-men after I broke up with Kurt. Actually, I didn't really know any of them, never meeting them face to face other that Hank McCoy, the Beast. But Kurt had told me so much about his friends and teammates that I felt like I knew them. I was going to go meet them during my winter break, but that was before-

"Come on, give me your best shot!" The girl called, waving the men with guns forward.

All the other X-men were busy fighting, they didn't notice their young teammate was in trouble. I knew I shouldn't be doing it, but I couldn't help myself. This girl needed help.

I picked up a discarded gun and moved towards the group. I pointed the gun at who I assumed to be the commanding officer and yelled. "Lower your guns!"

They all looked back at me, shocked to see a pregnant girl holding them at gun point. Their shock was a distraction enough to give the girl the opportunity she needed. High kicking one man in the chest then quickly punching another in the face, she soon had knocked out all her captures.

"Thanks." She said, smiling at me. "But you shouldn't be here. Its alright, I'm X-man, I can take care of myself. Get out of here bef-"

The girl was cut off by a falling brick. It landed on her head, knocking her unconscious.

Rolling my eyes, I put my arms around her chest and began dragging her towards the X-jet. It was hard, especially with my baby belly slowing me down and having to avoid the fighting, but I couldn't leave her to be captured or have a building crush her.

When I finally got her to the jet, I was panting. I slid down beside her, trying to catch my breath. By now the X-men had begun winning the fight.

"Hey cher, what's dis?" I heard a Cajun voice ask above me. I looked up to see a tall

attractive male with red and black eyes. Remy Lebeau, or Gambit, the Cajun X-man.

I struggled to sit up. He reached down a hand and helped me to my feet.

"Hi, uh." I realised how strange this must look. A girl he doesn't know sitting with his unconscious teammate. "She got hit on the head by a falling brick. She went unconscious, so I brought her back here."

Gambit nodded. "Alright den, thanks. I'll just get her in ta tha jet and-" A beeping interrupted him. He pressed a button on his ear piece. "Oui?"

"Gambit, get to Nightcrawler now! He's been injured and they're surrounding him!" I'm pretty sure it was Scott's voice that yelled out of the ear piece, loud enough for me to hear.

I gasped, "No!"

I waited only a second to hear where his position was before bolting to the area. I heard Gambit yell after me, but I ignored him.

I looked around the corner of a building and I saw him. At least twenty MRD officers made a semi circle around him. My heart ached to see that Kurt had a black eye and a split lip. Two officers made him get to his knees, pulling his hair so he was forced to look up at a commanding officer.

Why wasn't he teleporting away? I wondered.

One second he was looking at the man with hate, but the next his facial expression change to one of shock and…happiness? That's when I realized he saw me too.

The large man that the MRD officers were showing Kurt to gave a nod.

"He will do. Put him in the truck with the others." He ordered than turned and walked towards a black car. A small device fell out of his pocket, but nobody else seemed to notice.

Kurt struggled to free himself, looking at me all the while, but it was no use. One of the men pulled out a needle and injected it roughly into Kurt's blue neck. He struggled a little more, but soon went limp. Two men dragged him towards a truck and threw him in the back. Within moments, all the MRD personal were driving away.

I shook as I walked towards the spot where I saw Kurt. I picked up the small black device that the general had dropped and clutched it in my hand.

"Where's Kurt?" I heard a gruff voice behind me and turned.

Standing a few feet behind me were the X-men.
