X-men part six

Raven rubbed her aching burning eyes. She was in the School's lower levels in the laboratory. She hasn't taken a break from the computer since five in the afternoon. Raven checked her watch. It was now two in the morning. But it didn't matter because she had downloaded and decoded all the files and programs on The Cure. There had to be an antidote…

Raven had been watching Jimmy also known as Leech at school seeing how exactly his powers worked. He had been the source of the cure. She had also been the one to sneak in Worthington Labs to steal information to give to Magneto in order to kill him. At least he didn't know who she was. Anybody knew who she was other than Storm and Logan. They had agreed that it was best this way. She had done to many things that now looking back at it she was not proud of. She doubted that the others would be as forgiving as Storm and Logan…well Storm anyway.

Raven's head thumped against monitor, she had been nodding off. She was way too tired. Ever since she was involuntary given the cure, her reaction time was a bit slower. Everything was slower and she could no longer go for hours at a time without eating or sleeping like she used to. She had one last important file to decode but for some reason she couldn't. Maybe she was just tired…She rubbed her eyes while she shut down the system. Finding more about the cure wasn't the only thing she was doing. Ever since she had arrived at the school she had been making prototypes for a new X-jet that surpassed even the old one and she already had all the supplies and materials ready and had started building by herself. But she couldn't finish by herself.

Maybe I'll get Colossus to help me Raven thought. She had seen him pick up a three hundred pound sofa like it weighed nothing just to get his pen which had rolled under. She cleared up her messes and left the lab.

In Charles Xavier's office which became Storm's new office after he died sat Storm. She was preoccupied with writing next week's lesson plans. She was consulting a textbook and making some notes when Kitty came running in the room.

"Storm you've gotta come and look at this!" she cried. Alarmed, Storm ran after her. Coming up to Logan who was walking where Storm and Kitty had came from he raised his eyebrows.

"Where's the fire?" he said mildly.

"Not really sure," Storm panted grabbing Logan's arm and dragged him behind her. "Come on!" Logan yelped in surprise. All three ran outside where two other girls were standing underneath a tree. Jubilation Lee also known as Jubilee who was leaning against the tree straightened up as soon as she saw Storm coming. Theresa also known as Siryn grinned as she stood up from the ground.

"Look," Kitty motioned them to stop and watch as she lifted an old mirror on the bench that was a few feet away. She propped it up and stepped back. Siryn stepped into Kitty's place and a look of concentration was set on her face. Storm looked at her puzzled.

"What is she…" Logan whispered but Kitty cut him off.

"Look!" she hissed. Siryn took a deep breath and Storm and Logan put their hands over their ears in preparation but nothing happened. What did happen was at the same time that Theresa took a breath her feet left the ground and she kept rising until she was ten feet into the air. Then swooping in on the mirror she let out a shriek which shattered the mirror into about a million little pieces. She circled the bench and landed right in front of the others. Storm stared with her jaw hanging.

"Whoa," Logan said incredulous, looking at Storm. "She can fly!" Storm nodded not really knowing what to say. Theresa had been practicing, this Storm knew. Before Theresa couldn't control her shrieks and she would deafen everyone around her. Now she was able to focus her shrieks and adjust them according to frequency and pitch and she was able to focus them on objects with acute accuracy. Storm smiled at Theresa.

"Wow Theresa," Storm exclaimed coming over to the broken mirror and checking it over. "I am really proud of you!" Theresa glowed, her simmering red hair catching fire in the sunlight.

"Thanks Storm," Theresa said shyly. "I've been practicing really hard."

"I see that," Storm said praising her. Then she thought of something. She looked at Logan who seemed to have the same thought and he nodded. "How would you like to become an X-man?"

Theresa, Jubilee, and Kitty's jaws dropped and were speechless for a moment…before they started squealing. Logan winced and rubbed his temple.

"Theresa this is great," Kitty cried. "Jubilee had already joined and now you're here. That makes all three of us!" They all started to jump up and down.

"And that's my cue to leave," Logan said flatly and Storm watched him stomp away with a smile on her face.

Storm was headed to her office when Bobby rounded the corner.

"Oh Storm," Bobby called to her. "You have some mail. I left it on your desk." Storm thanked him and went in her office. There were two letters on her desk. A letter from a Dr. Moira MacTaggert and another from her sister, D'Sane. She had only found about her sister about ten years ago in the streets back when she was orphaned and into thieving. They ran into each other and both stood shocked at what they saw. They both had shock-white hair that fell to their waists.

It had seemed the Storm's mother had a child earlier from another man but that the baby had been still born and the baby had been taken away. N'Dare had thought her fist child was dead but she was wrong. Storm and her sister keep in touch over the years but nothing too serious. They both had different lives. Her sister already had a husband and a son at that time.

Storm opened the first letter and was reading it when Logan came into the room also reading a bunch of papers.

"Hey Storm…" Logan started but Storm interrupted him.

"It's from Miora," Storm said motioning to the letter.

"Charles' friend?" Logan said in surprise. Storm nodded as she read. Her eyebrows rose as she continued down the letter.

"It seems that Miora is sending four students over here from her

School," Storm said in surprise.

"She has a school?" Logan asked. Storm nodded and picked up the next letter. Logan stared off into to space waiting for Storm to finish. He snapped out of it when Storm made a slight noise.

"What?" he asked. Storm sighed.

"It seems that my nephew Evan developed some mutant abilities and has been acting out of place so she's sending him over here from Africa," Storm said reading the letter.

"Whoa, Africa," Logan said. "That's pretty deep." Storm glared at him and quickly shut his mouth. Storm suddenly gasped. Logan stared at her.

"What?" Suddenly Logan felt very awkward asking one syllable questions.

"I'm supposed to pick him up at LaGuardia airport," Storm said in disbelief.

"So what's the problem?" Logan said not understanding.

"We're supposed to pick up at the airport today!" Storm groaned. "At three-thirty seven!" Logan looked at the time which read three fifteen.

"Then we better hurry shouldn't we?" He said as both he and Storm rushed out of the room.
