The kiss was short lived as we heard the back doors opening and we saw Nydra coming through onto the porch. We both pulled away in a fast pace and I saw Sean smiling widely form his spot. I blushed, trying to hide my smile as much as I could. But how could I, since we just kissed what felt like a amazing yet simple kiss. I felt like if I could, I could fly right there from the school and into the sky and scream at the top of my lungs! Sure Sean can do that, a bit, but I knew he was trying to ground it since Nydra walked over to us.
"Xavier wants to talk to us about what we're going to do." Nydra said to the two of us and I looked over at Sean for a mere second, seeing him smile at me and then getting up from his spot, walking into the living room in a lazy pace with his hands in his pockets. I got up as well, seeing Nydra eye at me. I gave her a odd look, but I still had the smile n my face. It was something I knew I couldn't hide, not even from her as she smiled widely at me, walking over to me and crossing her arms in front of us.
"So, it's safe to say, that you two are a item now?" She asked me in a smirk and I laughed from my spot, hearing her laugh too and I rubbed the back of my head.
"I don't know what happened, we were talking for one minute and the next thing I knew, he kissed me." I said in a light tone, still reeling from what just happened and I saw her nod her head, a smile was still on her face as I looked down at the floor. Leave it to Nydra to have things come out into the open. I was thinking back to what he told me, that I was pretty, a strong person who thought of others before myself, and that he was very close to me. Nydra laughed and placed a hand on my shoulder and we both walking into the living room, the both of us still smiling.
"If it helps, I won't tell anyone about what happened, not even Alex." Nydra said to me and giggled, making me give her a look and smile as well.
At least I had someone who won't say anything.
We were on the roof of the building, and all the while Hank was on the ground floor from the school car about a block away, waiting for anything to happen. Alex, Sean, Trevor, Nydra, Hailey and myself on the rooftop, in our new uniforms, Alex walking over to the vents and opening up one way. It was late that night, and the fog was coming through the city, plus the only lights that were seen were from the street lights from below. We were going to break into the building and find anything we could, or anyone we could, on the mutants. All of us were a bit scared, but we knew what we had to do in the end.
Hailey already had all of the security fooled by messing around with the cameras so that when we were close, we wouldn't be seen. We crawled into the vents and split up into groups. I went with Alex, Sean with Hailey, and Trevor with Nydra and we went off in different directions. Sean and Hailey went for the ground floor, Trevor and Nydra to the higher floors, and Alex and I stuck to the middle floors.
At first we found nothing, since nobody was in sight. We looked in every room through the door windows and saw nothing worth looking through. But then we saw the same door, and once I teleported us through, we saw even wider corridors.
"Keep a eye out." Alex warned me aloud as we walked cautiously through the wide corridor. At first, it was rather dark and only some of the overhead lights were left on, but we saw a metal door, it wasn't like the other doors around us, this one looked heavily armed and thick. We approached the door and I peered inside, seeing the lights on and a wide room, almost like our X Men headquarters back at the mansion. There were at least ten cells, five on each side of the room, and I saw another thick door with the light on through there. The cells were starch white, with glass doors. In the middle of the room there was film inside the machine aimed at a projector and I looked around some more.
"What do you see?" Alex asked me, waiting next to me as I looked to the left. I saw something out of the corner of my eye. I peered over and saw a tiny hand, almost like a young child's hand, resting on the floor of one of the cells and I panicked.
"Come on." I said to him, clutching his uniform and the both of us teleporting into the room. It was very brighter and I had to squint in order to see but my eyes adjusted. We both looked in horror as we saw what Sean predicted: young mutants.
They were huddled in their cells, two in each one and they all looked so sick and thin. We walked by every single one of them and saw them look up at us, as if we were aliens. Some of them sat up on their knees and tried to speak, but the cells were so thick we couldn't hear them at all. Others were asleep in the corner and some were out of it. I tried not to cry from what I was seeing, seeing how big their eyes were and how little their bodies were. It was like the holocaust all over again. I could see their information on a file that was glued to the wall and I saw their ages. Some there 10, and some were 14, which made me sick to my stomach.
"Sean was right." Alex said aloud in a sad tone as I looked at every paper that was on the glass cell doors. There were dates on each file, and I peered further and saw that the fates or for when they were experimented.
"What are they doing to them?" I asked aloud as I heard something clicking behind me. I turned around, my hand was still on the glass cell door and I saw Alex turn on the projector. The images came to life as we saw the image of a experiment going into works. There was someone strapped into what looked like a teenager and the rest of the people in the film were workers, writing in files and looking at their own vials. I was already scared at what they were going to do. Alex watched as well as we saw them inject something into their arm and place another needle into their necks. For a moment nothing happened, but then we saw something coming out of the needles and into vials, something of a dark color and then the teenager strapped down was getting weaker and weaker. After a moment or two, the teenager was dead.
I gasped from my spot as the head doctor was writing it down in his file and then a blanket going over him, face and all. Alex turned off the machines and we were silent for a moment or two. I didn't understand for a moment or two, even though I saw the footage right in front of me and I knew that they wanted something? Our blood perhaps? Why our own blood as Alex looked from from where the movie was and then walked over to one of the files that was open. He scanned through the file and he stopped, being very still and quiet as I watched him.
"What?" I asked him aloud, seeing him look up at me slowly and showing me the files.
"They were trying to extract our mutant abilities." He said to me in a slow tone, having me look from him to the files. It was true, they were trying to take our abilities for some reason, but for what I couldn't find out.
"What do they want with them?" I asked aloud in wonder, but before we could act, we heard a pounding on the door as we both looked. At first I thought it was one of the workers trying to get in but we saw it was Hailey's face and Alex ran over to open it. She came in and Sean followed behind her, slamming the door shut and the two of them coming over to us.
"We know what they want." Hailey explained aloud and Alex nodded his head.
"So do we." Alex replied as I handed Sean the file. Both Sean and Hailey looked at the file real quick and I saw the both of them going pale. Hailey gasped and Sean stayed silent as he looked up.
"We found out something too." he replied back, and we all listened to him, "The reason they want our abilities, is to making something, or someone else."
"But he's only taking mutants with rare and powerful abilities, not normal ones." Hailey added in and we all looked at each other, knowing this just went from bad to worse. But then we heard something by the door again, and this time it was a gunshot. The door flew open and three men came through with their guns up. They started to shoot, but I threw out a force field over us, making a wall between us. whatever they were shooting bounced off the field and fell to the floor. As soon as they stopped shooting, I lowered the field enough for Alex to shoot two rays at all three of them, hitting them in the stomach and flying back into the hallway, hitting the hallway in a jolt. I looked around and what there was to do for those who were in the cells as the others started to run out of the room. I looked but saw nothing for a moment, but then seeing a panel of button by the last cell against the wall. I walked over and threw out hand, hitting the panel with my force field and the cells opening in a swift manner. The kids inside, at first confused at what was going on, looked around and then saw me and they ran over to me.
"Skye, come on we need to go." Sean said aloud as he looked out the hallway. I shook my head and grabbed at least four of them since they were smaller than me.
"Buy me time, I'm gonna get them out of here." I said back to him before teleporting with the four prisoners in front of the building. At first I didn't know where to take them, but then I saw something farther off in the distance and I knew it was Hank in the car. He drove over to the corner, and I ushered the kids to the car.
"Get inside, we'll get you out of there." Hank said to them as they climbed into the car. I poked my head in and saw him look over at me.
"There are 6 more in there, we need to get them out of here and out of sight." I said to him and his nodded his head in agreement.
"I'll land the jet on the rooftop, you can bring them up there on the next trip." He explained to me and I nodded my head. Running back towards the building and then teleporting back into the hallway. As soon as I made it back in the hallway, I almost got hit by another bullet and I threw a force field shot at whomever shot me, hitting him to the floor as I went back into the room and saw four more young mutants looking scared. I walked over to them as I heard Sean scream. We all threw our hands over our ears and waited for him to stop. When he did I looked behind me, seeing him standing over four other men and looking back at me.
"Get them to the jet." he said to me over gunfire as I nodded my head. I looked over at the prisoners, seeing them look at me. I knew they were scared about what was going on, so I smiled at them slightly, moving my hair away from my eye sight and holding out my arms to them.
"Come on, it's alright." I said to them, seeing all four of them running towards me and holding onto my arms. I teleported us to the rooftop. Once we were there, we were greeting with the loud sound of the jet landing on the roof and the engine still loud. I saw Hank at the wheel in the front of the jet. He put the docking ramp down and I could see it from here.
"Get in, go on quickly!" I said to them aloud over the sound of the engine and I watched them run towards the ramp. I teleported them back into the same hallway, seeing nothing and no one there. I was alone for a moment or two but then I heard a gun cocked to my left and I looked, seeing a men there about to shoot at me. I teleported behind him and he whirled around, me throwing down his arm that held the gun and punching him in the jaw. He fell to the ground cold as I ran from that hallway down towards the lobby that I knew was there. They had to be there, someone i knew had to be there.
I ran around the corner and in a flash, I saw nothing but brightness in front of me. I closed my eyes for a moment until I heard Trevor's scream. I looked up and saw Trevor electrocuting one of the men, who was falling to the floor. I looked to his left and saw Alex fighting one of the other men and knocking him out cold. Someone was about to shoot Trevor in the back but I threw out a force field at the men, throwing him back and holding him against the wall for a moment and then having him fall to the floor in a heap of a mess.
"We need to get out of here." I heard Trevor say aloud as he dodged another bullet, shooting out a lightning bolt at him and making him fall to the floor.
"Get to the stairs." I heard Hailey said aloud as she turned to run, Trevor following her and then Alex. I was about to go when I saw Sean being kicked in the stomach and he fell to the floor. I teleported in between him and the man, throwing him back towards the hallway wall. I teleported from there to the wall, waiting to catching him in mid air and threw him against the wall in a harsh rate, hearing him groan and fall to the floor. I went back to Sean and piked him up around the middle, hearing him groan and his arm go around my shoulders. I used his weight against me as we tried to get through to the stairs.
But as we made the turn, I saw there were automatic doors closing towards the stair well and we were never going to make it. And to make it worse, I saw three of the men on my right coming our way. I had to make a choice, and I had to act fast. Damn myself for thinking of others before myself. I had to get him out of there, and I had to make sure he was alive. The door was about to close completely so I pushed him from me with my force field around them through the only space there was left and I saw him run into the wall in a grunt and he looked up at me as soon as the doors closed. There was a small window, and I could see that even though the door was closed securely, I could see him rushing up to his side of the door, banging on the door and I looked at him one last time.
I saw the pain in his eyes as he looked at me, trying to open the door with only his hands. I then looked to my right and saw one of them about to shoot. I had to disappear. I teleported away from the middle landing on one of the men on his shoulders and seeing him fall to the floor. I perched over him on his back and looked up at the other two and seeing them aim at me. I jumped up, teleporting in mid air and appearing beside the other, grabbing his arm and shooting the third in the head and then breaking his arm in the process and seeing him fall to the floor.
It took me ten seconds to knock out three men, and I looked over to the window one last time before feeling something being shot into my neck and I fell to the floor in a groan everything around me going black and numb.
I was caught, behind enemy lines.
