Chapter Title: Blown Covers
Bobby walked into the library. It had been an hour since he'd been unofficially M.I.A. "Bobby!" Jubilee called from the table where she, Rogue, Peter, and Kitty were sitting. "You're alive!"
"Why wouldn't I be?" He pulled a chair over from the table next to them.
"Because you're Mr. On-Time, and you're an hour late!"
"What?" Bobby looked at his watch. "Oh! I thought that you said ten o' clock! Not nine!"
"See?" Kitty smiled. "Everything's just fine!"
"Since when are you with us?" Bobby raised an eyebrow at her.
"Since now," She winked. Rogue was the only one who saw Bobby wink back. What the hell? Her inner-Logan swore. They're up to something…

Charles rolled down the hallway with Jean and Storm. "You know," Jean offered helpfully. "We could just dye it black. I have some hair color left over from last Halloween."
Storm laughed, and was silenced by a glare from Charles. "I hardly find this funny, Ororo." He sighed. "What are we going to do? We have three hours until the Board of Education shows comes. We have to find those two maniacs before then."
"Charles," Jean said tentatively, looking over at Storm. "What if you just gave up? Then this whole thing would be over and done with."
"No."
"Then you're just as bad as them."
Charles turned his wheel-chair around so that he was facing Storm. She was now looking like she wished that she never had spoken. "I am not stooping to their level."
"Professor!" He looked down the hall to see Rogue coming towards him. "Kurt Wagner just, uh, poofed in the front hall."

"Mr. Wagner, welcome back." Charles smiled.
"It is good to be back." Kurt smiled shyly. "I am only stopping for a short time, though. I came to say good bye before I go to Germany."
"Germany?" Jean asked.
"Ja, I want to find my family again."
"Well, we wish you good luck." Storm smiled. "Remember, though, once you get back, you're always welcome here."
"Thank you. I do have one question though."
"Yes?"
"Why are Herr Logan and Herr Summers handcuffed together?"
"How did you know about that?" Charles raised an eyebrow. "Did one of the students tell you?"
"Nein." Kurt shook his head. "I saw them when I was coming in. They were fighting over some newspaper."
Charles leaned in closely. "Where exactly did you see them?"
"Heading into the woods. Is there a problem?"
Charles smiled. "No, in fact, you may have just solved one of our biggest ones."

Logan watched in amusement as Scott attempted to pace. He'd walk to the right as far as the 'cuffs would allow him, then turn and do the same in the other direction. Logan was about to comment when he heard a familiar sound outside the tree house.
Bamf
"Summers…"
"Yeah, I heard it."
"Well then what are we waiting for?" Logan and Scott walked and peered out of the small window just in time to see Kurt Wagner and Storm bamf right underneath the tree house. "Holy Shit!" The two mutants jerked their heads back in.
"Logan?" Storm called, looking up in amusement at the wooden structure. "I'd know that swearing anywhere."

Bobby walked down the front stairs, and out to the fountain where Kitty was sitting on the edge. He sat next to her, and didn't say anything. Kitty spoke first. "So how come you didn't rat me out to Jubes and the others?"
"Because," Bobby smiled at her. "You don't reveal your friends to the enemy."
"That's what they wanted you for?" Kitty asked incredulously. "You're working for Logan and Mr. Summers too?"
Bobby smirked. "I want to be an X-man just as much as you do. Plus, Logan doesn't like me much anyways. So, any chance I get to get on his good side, I take." Kitty was about to respond when they both jumped around and one of the last sounds either wanted to hear.
"You guys ratted us out?" Jubilee spat. Rogue stood behind her, arms smugly crossed.
"Uh…" Both Bobby and Kitty scrambled for something to say.
"No," Jubilee said. "No! I don't want to hear it. You can tell it to the Prof!"
Bobby and Kitty stood up. "Well, we can't let you tell him."
"Oh, yeah!" Jubilee rolled her eyes. "And how do you plan on stopping us? Wait, what are you doing? You both are crazy! Just back off. You'll regret this later, I'm warning you. Stop! HOLY CRAP! ROGUE! RUN! SAVE YOURSELF!"
Which is exactly what she did.
