Back at the X-Mansion
Xavier is in a transit state of mind at the head of the table,he has not moved a muscle in about 10 minutes. None of this bothers the remaining X-Men going on the search team; Storm,Beast,Jubilee,NightCrawler,Gambit,& Jean Gray. They all knew what was happening the Professor was getting a transmission of sorts from someone inside of his mind and was communicating back with his thoughts to whoever was on the other end.
Jubilee kept getting up and pacing back and forth while waiting on the Prof to come back,NightCrawler hung from the ceiling discussing the weather with Beast. Gambit was over in a corner throwing cards into a pile. Jean was trying to concentrate her mind to see if she could pick up what Xavier was getting only it was not working and Storm remained in her seat waiting patiently for she was the only one with any real self control.
Finally after about another 5 minutes Charles Xavier came back to his X-Men:
"I do apologize for that intrusion,It was Wolverine...He has found her they are not far from the Mansion...Magneto has also found her however I have no idea what he is doing with her for he didn't come alone Wolverine is battling SaberTooth which is what took me so long to get what he was trying to say...Let's move out my X-Men to the BlackBird,We are going try to catch up to Magneto before he has a chance to make a move or worse convince her to join the Brotherhood which is what I suspect he is doing...How he found out about her eludes me though."
He didn't have to tell them twice each member was more then ready to go,they filed out of the room geared up and boarded the X-Jet & were well on their way to the location Wolverine gave the Professor.
Back on the Road
Wolverine and SabreTooth have been at each other to the point of exhaustion but yet nether one would back down letting the other get the upper-hand. Wolverine emerged out of the woods his shirt no long covering his torso blood dripping off of him in several places. He looked pretty wiped out to Veronica and she wondered just how much this man could take,It kind of impressed her. SabreTooth came out after Wolverine tackling him from behind ramming his face into the solid Earth. SabreTooth looked just as beat up and out of energy as Wolverine but yet they both still tried to go at one another.
Magneto remained in front of Veronica he didn't seem to notice or just didn't care about what was happening between SabreTooth and Wolverine. Veronica on the other-hand didn't know what to do,should she try to stop it or let them destroy each other? She decided on trying to stop it because Wolverine after all did try to help her even though he almost killed her again she also knew he was not doing it on purpose it was all just some bizarre coincidences, Maybe even fate who knows.
Dashing across the road Veronica shoulder blocks SaberTooth off of Wolverine right when he is about to ram his baglady sharp fingernails into Wolvie's spine what she had not taken into consideration about this move was how strong SabreTooth really was. Veronica did mange to knock him off Wolverine but not by much and she ended up knocking her own self backwards landing at the feet of Magneto.
Magneto:"My dear what on Earth are you doing? SabreTooth is a highly toned fighting machine and a very valuable member of the BrotherHood...Wolverine and him are great rivals have been for years long before your time that's for sure. So to get involved with this fight is pointless."
He then offered her his hand like a gentleman would,she took it & pulled herself up.
Veronica:"Thank you Eric...I mean Magneto but I have to put an end to this even if it is pointless as you say."
She the runs off again across the street this time she stops to focus her powers and lefts SabreTooth into the air with her purple psychic energy much like she done to NightCrawler and Gambit. Veronica gave Wolverine enough time to get his ass out of the way before she slammed SabreTooth into the ground saying:
"That was for making me hurt my shoulder on your hard chest you Bastard."
Wolverine seeing what was going on somehow got in into his head to strike at the defenseless SabreTooth,Veronica picked up on his thoughts and lifted him up into the air as well and Slammed him down just as she done SabreTooth a little payback for him almost stabbing her in the temple while in the car.
Veronica: "Both you boys need a time out."
SaberTooth:"Bitch..When I get out of this you are so going be sorry you got your sweet little ass involved."
Wolverine:"Yeah you lay a finger on her Bub & I swear I will fuckin' end you."
Over head the sound of an engine can be heard belonging to a long sleek black jet,Veronica looked up for a second just one little second and her focus was lost on SabreTooth he was free and very pissed off. He leaped out at her growling as he did, got in far enough so that his claws got to her arm cutting it open causing her to let out a loud moan of pain before he was blasted backwards seemingly out of no where. Veronica want ahead and lowered Wolverine to check out her arm and looked around to see who just blasted SabreTooth. Wolverine ran over to her grabbed her up in a sort of strange half hug like stance. Trying to make sure she was alright & protect her at the same time.
Magneto:"I told you not the girl...Wolverine was all you were supposed to take care of...You have failed me go wait in the car until I am done here, I will deal with you later."
It was starting to make sense to Veronica now. It was Magneto who blasted SabreTooth with his magnetic force. She could not help but have a huge grin on his face as SabreTooth took the walk of shame back to the car they came in.
Wolverine:"Yeah go on get...That's a good boy follow your masters orders...Yeah don't think for yourself any Bub."
SabreTooth stopped for a moment let out a groan and looked like he was about to attack Wolverine again but instead shrugged his shoulders and said:
" Better then following that of a crippled bald man,Shorty...Next time Wolverine maybe you won't have to hide behind a woman and take your beating like a real man."
Then just like that he as gone out of sight leaving an angry Wolverine behind stilling holding on to a bleeding Veronica,and an annoyed Magneto just as The BlackBird found a landing and lowered Its door and out came the X-Men one by one, Xavier being the last to exit.
