In the jet, Roxie sat by her father, with bobby in front Logan while Scott and Jean flew the jet. After they'd been in the air for a few minutes Roxie leaned over to Logan and whispered, "Ororro likes you."
"What? That's reduculous." Logan replied.
"Oh, come on. Tell me your not that stupid."
"Roxie!"
"Logan, the whole reason, she isn't coming is cause she's jealous of mom."
"'Ro hasn't even met her."
"She doesn't have to met another woman to be jealous of her."
"You didn't..." Logan asked pointing to his head.
"No, I didn't read her mind. I didn't hav to. I could see it on her face. She likes you alot."
"Maybe but can we talk about this later?"
Roxie nodded her head and then made a telepathic link with someone who was not in the jet or at the mansion.
I've got him
Good girl. Are you alone?
No.
What? Why not?
I'm sorry mom, but dad's with a group of mutants called the X-men and they wouldn't let him come alone with me.
They don't trust you. They've probably got a telepath monitering your thoughts
Her name is Jean Grey. She doesn't know I'm talking to you. At least I don't think. I've put a block around my mind. Mom, how come we couldn't have just told dad the truth? I mean why do we have to lie and say that your in trouble?
I have my reasons! Come to the left wing of the base.
How di I get there?
Spill ways. Roxie's mother said. Roxie had a feeling that her mom was hidding something from her but she wouldn't say anything. Roxie was suppose to be able to trst her mom in anything and everything she did, even is she didn't give her reasons but something about this wasn't right but she would soon find out for as she disconnected with her mother, Scott said, "Okay, we're here. I'm taking her in."
He landed the jet but when he did it was a little rough. Roxie looked at logan and telepathically asked, That's a landing? I could have done better than that!
A smile came across Logan's face as he walked off the jet with everyone in tow. When Roxie got out of the jet, she saw that the ground was covered with snow and the air was crisp and cold. she looked around and saw a structure that had no roof, only walls. That must have been where Logan had gone the first time he was here. From where Roxie stood she could see that there was nothing there but not too far away, was the spill way her mother had said to use to get inside.
"All right." Scott said, "Where to?"
He looked from Jean to Bobby to Logan and then to Roxie.
"What you think I know?" Roxie asked. She knew none of them, not even Logan, trusted her but right now all she cared about was doing what she had been asked to do.
"Whell you were the one who came here and started all this." Bobby said bluntly, which Roxie didn't mind. Actually she prefered it to people who beat around the bush.
"Fine. You want me to make a decision so badly, lets go down the spill way."
"I don't know about that." Jean said, "Whoevers inside could flood the spillway."
"Your telekinetic right?"
"Yeah but..."
"Well if someone floods the spill way, you and Ican hold the water back." Roxie said but when she saw their hesitation she said, "Or we could stand here all day looking like idiots trying to find another way in. I'm telling you this is the only way in."
"What makes you think that?" Jean asked.
"Well I don't see any other way to enter the underground base do you?"
No one answered but no one moved either. Roxie was now fed up with everyone because no one would listen to her. She could sence Jean's worry and fear. She felt Scott and Bobby's distrust and hew own father's uncertanty about all this.
"Fine. You asked me a question. I answered. You don't like my answer then do it yourself. I'm goin' to find my mother!" Roxie said angrily. Everyone noticed as Roxie began to talk her hair flammed up, slightly but it was enough to catch their attention. But before anyone could say a thing, Roxie took to the sky and flew off, leaving the x-men to talk amongst themselves.
