Kitty dropped the phone and ran towards the jet. She was almost there when the jet turned on and flew out of site. Kitty fell to the ground crying hysterically. Everyone ran to her trying to console her but she couldn't be consoled. She cried so hard she passed out.
Rogue had picked up Kitty's phone after she dropped it and got the rest of the story from Lance. With Kitty passed out, Rogue filled everyone in on what was going on. "We've been tricked! Jacob came as a spy for Magneto! He was supposed to get Marcus from Lance and Kitty! They sent Saber-tooth after Lance as revenge for joining us, and to distract us." she said.
"I guess they decided that if they kidnapped Lance, we'd be too busy looking for him to focus on Marcus", Kurt suggested.
"I should have known. Magnetic abilities, working well with machines. He must be related to Magneto", Professor Xavier said. Suddenly, Kitty woke up. She looked around frantically for Marcus, hoping it was all a bad dream and that someone was just holding him. When she saw that it wasn't a dream, she started sobbing and once again, fell asleep. The rest of the ride was silent. Everyone was on edge, worried about Marcus. They all loved him so much. Wolverine was especially worried. He didn't think a soft-side existed in Magneto or Saber-tooth. Maybe Mystique. If that were the case, what would happen to Marcus?
Lance was waiting outside when they got back to the mansion. He told everyone about how Saber-tooth had driven him here and threw him off. He had a broken leg that Dr. McCoy finally managed to put a cast on. For now, Lance was on crutches. Kitty woke up and ran to Lance. She almost knocked him over. He held her as she cried uncontrollably. She felt better with Lance here for her, but she wouldn't be okay until Marcus was in her arms.
"Lance, I may have an idea that will help us find Marcus", Professor X said coming towards Lance, who was sitting on the couch with Kitty laying her head on his lap. "Anything that will help my son", Lance said. "I'm thinking that maybe if I can access your memory, I can find some clues to help us find out where you were being held. I think Marcus was taken to that same place", the professor said.
Lance sat nervously as the professor began to access his thoughts. He didn't like the idea of Professor Xavier finding any of Lance's past in his memory, or any thoughts of Kitty… "I think I know where Marcus is!" the professor said. Lance jumped, waking up Kitty. Everyone ran into the room. "They took Marcus to a cabin in the woods. I heard a lake nearby." he said. "The closest lake is Lake Bayville!" Wolverine exclaimed, running out the door. Wolverine was the first to leave, taking his motorcycle.
"We can't take the jet, so Kurt will teleport Kitty and Lance. Rogue will drive the van with the new mutants. Scott, can you drive me, and Jean ?" he asked. Scott nodded. Everyone got into their vehicles. Kurt teleported with Kitty and Lance.
Phew! I'm glad Lance is okay. Hopefully soon, Kitty can relax with her baby and her bofriend
