By the time Keith made it back home, the first light of morning was creeping over the horizon. Breanna was sitting in the kitchen with a screeching tea kettle and three guests. When he made it through the door, he nearly fell over. The man with the visor stood up and hurriedly helped him to a chair. Breanna put a mug of hot tea in front of him and took a seat.
"You couldn't find her, could you." She made it more of a statement than a question. She got the response she predicted; silence. He didn't answer one way or another. His sister was gone. She sighed and looked to the three strangers that were sitting around her table. "So are you guys going to introduce yourselves?"
"Didn't we already?" The young girl asked in a southern accent. It was at that comment that Breanna was glad Sora wasn't that dumb or rude.
"She means to him." The man with the visor said politely. "I'm Scott, also known as Cyclops."
"I'm Rogue," the girl said with a smile.
"Logan," the other man said simply.
"Who are you guys? Who were those people that took Sora?" Keith said with anger and pain in his voice.
Scott was the first to speak. "We came here to make you an offer. We work with a man named Charles Xavier; he owns a school for gifted students, much like you and your sister…"
"If you mean mutants, I'm the only one here." Keith said tiredly, still refusing to lift his head.
"Now, yes." Rogue said from the other end of the table. Keith lifted his head as she spoke, now vary confused. "That's why we're here. The professor found traces of yours and your sisters' mutation. He sent us here to see if you would like to join us at our school. I'm a student there myself. Scott and Logan are teachers. It's a really good school."
"I don't care about school. For one, I already graduated four years ago. Two, my sister has been kidnapped, how could I think of anything other than finding her?"
Logan was next to speak up. "If you come with us, we can help you find her. The professor can track her down."
"Fine." Was all the response he got from Keith.
