Abby was able to regain concious again, but realized she was no longer laid out on a table but inside of a cage. Slowly, she sat up and her head began to throb. Holding her head in the palm of her hand, Abby made her way to the cage door and began to bang on it.

"Someone let me out! I'm sick!" shouted Abby.

Stryker came up to the cage, Abby saw his robotic arm and backed away.

"You're scared, aren't you?" asked Stryker, Abby nodded.

Stryker opened the cage and Abby crawled into a corner, huddling her legs together. Stryker kneeled in front of her, and brought a hand to her cheek.

"It's hard being different, isn't it? Having a very special gift but so afraid to use it." said Stryker.

"I want to go back to the school." said Abby, tears welling in her eyes.

"It's funny how fear can cloud judgement."

"What do you mean?"

"I know you feel like everyone at Xaiver's school was there to help you and protect you. It breaks my heart to tell you that they were lying. In the end, they would have taken you back to your parents, so that you would be sent to the military for experiments."

"You're lying! Professor Logan, Bobby, Kitty, and Storm all loved me! They wouldn't want to kill me!"

"They would, Abigail. That's why I had to kidnap you. So you could stay with me and be happy."

"I don't understand."

"We want you to join us. To be part of a new age for mutants. To fight against the world to earn your rights."

"What do I have to do?"

Stryker smiled and lifted Abby off the ground, placing her in a small bed.

"All you have to do is allow us to perform just a few experiments, to make sure you are able to fight. Then, you'll be taken to...another school, so to speak. It is ruled by a man named Magneto."

"Is he nice?" asked Abby.

"Abigail, there has never been a nicer gentleman."

After dropping the students off in a remote location, where they would be watched over by Kurt Nightcrawler, the X-Men team was off in search of Abby. While aboard the Blackbird, everyone could see that something was wrong with Logan. He was sweating profusely, his hands were beginning to quiver, and it seemed that he had some sort of pain located in the back of his neck. Nobody wanted to bring this up as Logan had become really upset since Abby's kidnapping. Finally, Kitty decided to speak.

"Logan, are you okay?" asked Kitty.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just worried about Abby." said Logan.

"Do you think we should land?" asked Bobby.

"I said that I'm fine. Abby is the most important thing right now."

"You're sick." said Kitty.

"Listen, will you-"

As Logan was about to stand up in protest, he suddenly fell to the floor, groaning in agony. Bobby and Kitty knelt beside Logan, not knowing how to help.

"Storm, help! Logan is in trouble!" yelled Kitty.

Storm quickly set the Blackbird to auto-pilot and rushed to where Logan was laying.

"What happened?" asked Storm.

"I don't know. He stood up and then he fell to the floor." said Bobby.

"We've got to find Abby. For her." said Logan, between in and out of concious.

"Who is he talking about?" asked Kitty.

"I don't know. I think he's delirious." said Storm.

"We've gotta get him somewhere safe." said Kitty.

"No! Not until Abby is back with us. I won't let that kid get anywhere near Magneto." said Logan.

"Do you think you can make it?" asked Storm.

"Storm, you can't be serious." said Bobby.

"I'll be fine. I just need to lie down for awhile."

Logan was moved to a private room at the back of the Blackbird, all it had was a chair, a bed, and a first-aid-kit. Kitty and Storm left the room, while Bobby attempted to use powers to bring down Logan's fever. He laid his hand on Logan's forehead, and it turned to ice. It did cool down Logan considerably, but he still appeared to be feverish. After awhile, Logan regained concious and looked up at Bobby.

"Bobby?" said Logan, his voice was faint.

"Hey Logan." said Bobby, trying his best to smile.

Logan's form began to tense, he was obviously in pain. Bobby did the only thing he knew, and held onto Logan's hand until the pain subsided.

"I've never been sick. I've always been immune to everything. Why now?"

Bobby didn't know what to say, thinking that perhaps Logan was only ranting because he was sick.

"Just hang on, Logan. We're going to find Abby and get her back." said Bobby.
