Dani's team is back.
Xavier has asked Jeannie, Beast and me ta meet 'em in the hanger, cause we're takin' on refugees.
But why he asked me ta come, is beyond me.
The jet comes in for on, extremaly, roug landin'.
Cyke could 'ave done a better job than Sunspot.
Why did Dani put 'im as pilot anyway?
When the jet door finally opens fifteen students come off of the jet followed by Wolfsbane and Magik.
Then the unexpected happened.
Sunspot and Cannonball came out carrin' a stretcher.
Cyke's on it.
Cajian comes out next and then the jet door closes.
Dani's no where to be found.
Jeannie and I look at eachother.
Where's Dani? She asks telepathically.
I can feel her panic.
Her worry.
She's not worried or even concered about Cyke, right now, like Hank is.
All she cares aobut is findin' Dani.
As do I.
"Cajian, where the hell is Dani?" I ask as Jeannie and I approch the second-in-command o Dani's team. He tells us that they had gone after the Hellions and that Dani had stayed in the mansion and hadn't come out.
"So you just left 'er there?"
"Of Course not, Wolverine!" Cajian said defending himself.
"Gambit never leave anyone behin! You know dat, mon ami. Magik and Wolfsbane followed me inta the mansion. We did a clean sweep of the building. She was gone."
"Remy, what do you mean gone?" Jeannie asks.
He means captured.
Dani's been captured by the Hellions.
"I mean when we went in to the mansion, she wasn't dere. The Hellions captured 'er. Gambit say we do a resuce mission to find 'er."
"We will Remy." Jeannie says, "but I'm not sure where to look."
"Chuck can use Cerebro." I say plain and simple.
That's how things should be around 'ere.
Plain and simple.
But that don't ever happen around 'ere.
Does it?
"Jean," Hank says getting her attention as well as mine, "I need to get Scott to the med-lab and look over the extent of his injuries. Would you mind accomponing me?"
"No, not at all."
Ain't that a lie.
There's nothin' Jeannie wants more than to look for Dani right now.
But she;s also Hank's nurse and he needs 'er help and so she kisses me and follows Hank, Cannonball and Sunspot, who still carry Cyke on the stretcher.
"What now, Wolveirne?" Cajian asks but before I can answer Magik comes up to me with a blonde, brown eyed girl about Ryan's age.
"What's up Illyana?"
"Wolverine, this is Annabell Summers."
Summers?
Cyke, how many kids do you have?
I look Annabell over again and realize that her mother must be Emma. No one has blonde hair or a face like she does.
"She has a question for you."
I look at Annabell as if she were Dani when she was her age.
"Can I follow my dad? I just wanna make sure he's all right."
"Sure." I say after a moment of thinking, "Magik, make sure she gets there."
"Will do."
"Come on Cajian." I say and we walk down the hall towards the elevator and as we get into the elevator, Steven Strange suddenly apperers in front of me.
He scares me half to death causing my claws to pop out and hit the elevator door in reaction.
"Damit, Strange!" I say as I retract my claws, "Are ya tryin' to give me a heartattack?"
My apolpgies, Wolverine. I did not intend to frighten you. He says using telepath since he is only an astral projection.
The elevator door opens and Gambit and I head to Xavier's office with Strange's astral projection along with us.
"Yeah, yeah yeah. What do you want Strange?"
May I speak with you alone?
Gambit and I exchange looks for a moment.
Strange, what ever you have to say, you can say it infront of Cajian. I'm assuming it's about Dani?
Yes. Danielle is late for her lessons.
"Dr. Strange," Cajian piped up, "She has been on a mission."
I understand that, Gambit but she was suppose to be here with me over an hour ago.
"Her team just got back, Strange." I say, "The mission took alittle longer than it was suppose to. How's she doing anyway? With her lessons?"
Her powers are controled on the Universal scale. She only has problems with holding a spell for a long period of time, which is normal, however her powers are out of control at the Divine scale.
"Is that where you channel some being to do the work for ya?"
Something like that but it is alittle more complicated than that. Why do you ask?
"Well she tried channeling some faltianian thingy in the danger room."
Faltine. What happened?
"The fire took the shape of he Phoenix and would 'ave taken me and Dani out had I not gotten the sprinklers activated but then again we would have healed."
This is exactly what I was afraid of. I'm glad she was just in the danger room.
"Her power is that unstable?" Gambit asked.
She could consivably control her divine powers for a few seconds. Long enough to do what ever she wanted it to do but that is a slim possability since her magic is connected to the Phoenix. It seems that each time she tried to channel a being, the Phoenix is channeled instead.
The three of us go into Xavier's office and find Chuck behind his desk.
Wolveirne, you know Danielle needs my help and training as much as she needs yours. So I would appreciate it if you'd let me know where she is.
Stange gets on m nerves.
Does her think that I don't want Dani to be able to contol her powers?
Of course I want that for Dani.
I see how ard it is for her to deal with this but before I can tell Strange this, Chuck speaks up.
"I'm afraid that Danielle is not here at the moment, Dr. Strange."
"Jeannie tell ya?" I ask.
I had expected Jeannie to do just that before I ever got up here.
"Yes, Jean told me. However, Gambit had all ready filled me in via the emergancy com-link."
"Emerancy com-link?"
"Logan, do you really think I'd let any of my X-men leave this mansion with out anyway of getting a hold of me? Theres one in the jet and only the leaders of each team and one other person on the team knows where it is."
Professor, I apologise for my outburst and if I may ask, Where is Danielle?
"Gamibt would you care to explain that?" Xavier says handing the converstation over to Cajian.
"Chere was captured by the Hellions. More specifically Specter more than likely."
Hellions?
I know I heard Gumbo say that before but I really wasn't listenin' at the time. I had thought they'd gone up against Ol' Buckethead or Arcade or someone like that.
"Who are the Hellions?" I finally ask.
Cajian doesn't answer. Chuck does.
"The Hellions are a group of students from an Academy in Maine for mutants who are being taught the exct opposite of what we teach here."
Whose the headmaster at the academy? Dr. Strange asks.
I assumed Cyke was and I know Emma has to be tied into this somehow.
She always seems to be anyway.
"Cyclops is the headmaster fo the academy but Emma Frost-Summers, is the leader of the Hellions."
"I knew she had somethin' to do with all this!" I exclaim but then I realize what this could mean.
Chuck must have seen the reaction in my face for he asked Gambit and Strange politly to leave and then turns to be but before I can say anything he speaks.
"Logan, there is nothing we can do about what Emma may or may not tell Danielle. We will deal with that when the time comes but for now, if you will exuse me, I will try to use Crebro to find Danielle and you Logan, go to your wife and yes I will let you know when Ifind her."
Chuc leaves me in his office.
Leaves me to decide what to do next
