(SCOTT)

They were all finally standing on their own. Scott sighed as Eric finally had the energy to walk over and hit DJ upside the head.

"Hey!" he yelped. "What was that for!?"

"Not shutting up when I told you to," Eric growled.

Scott watched a smile play on Devin's face and Will's.

"I really think we should get out of here," Kurt announced.

"Kurt's right," Ororo said. "there could be more soldiers coming any minute now,"

"Can I blow the place up?" Will asked forming a fire ball within each hand.

"I'm all for that!" DJ yelled throwing a fist in the air.

"No," Ororo said sternly making both guys frown. "Scott and Lance promised that they wouldn't destroy any buildings.

"So," Eric glared at her. "we didn't,"

"Scott," Ororo said turning to him for help.

"Eric we promised, and we're going to keep that promise," he frowned. "all of us,"

Eric glared at him until Lance put a hand on his shoulder and whispered something in his ear. He nodded and turned back to Scott.

"Fine, you win,"

(ORORO)

She wandered what Lance had whispered to him. The look on the blonds face had turned from pure anger, into a sudden look of calmness. Ororo felt a blur of worry coming and wondered if they were really trustworthy.

She violently shook the thoughts out of her head. What was she thinking? This was Scott after all. But the others. And Lance. Were they trustworthy?

(JEAN)

She didn't like that blond one. She fought the urge to go inside his head and figure out what was really behind those two foggy blue eyes.

The red headed one seemed innocent enough. But with the hair, the fire power, and that wide smile that stretched across his face when he thought of blowing up the building. It all seemed too familiar to Pyro.

The brown haired one that Lance had helped stand, scared her a little too. Maybe it was just her, but his black eyes seemed to watch everyone a little too closely. As if feeling her eyes on him, he turned to her and gave her a small smirk. She turned her gaze away fast and stared at the floor. He's eyes...

(SCOTT)

"It's been a little too easy," he said as they walked through the quiet halls.

"Maybe we scared them all away," Tabby said.

"Harder than it sounds," DJ told her. "trust me,"

"Or maybe their just waiting for the right time to strike," Devin smiled.

Gun shots were heard and everyone dived into random hallways on their sides.

"Wha'd I tell ya?" Devin smirked.

"Congrat's!" Rouge growled next to him. "na how do we get past 'em?"

More shots rang through the hall.

"Whoa!" Bobby yelled as a bullet almost grazed his foot.

"Damn they have us from both sides!" Evan yelled.

Scott peered around the corner and blasted a few soldiers into the air. "Their closing in!" he yelled.

"Time to get even," Will grinned wide. He formed a large ball of fire in his hands and threw it down one hallway. A large explosion fallowed and he's grin widened.

"Nice," Tabby smiled back at him.

"Why thank you,"

Scott rolled his eyes and blew another beam down the opposite hallway. He watched Lance place a hand on the wall and close his eyes.

"Oh shit," he grumbled. "everyone down!"

The building started to shake and large heavy pieces of ceiling stared to fall. The X-Men fell to their knees and placed their hands over their heads. Scott risked a glance at the soldiers. Those standing fell and those shooting lost balance and started shooting their own.

Dust flew into the air as Lance finally let go of the wall. Scott realized that Lance couldn't see his glare through the dust so he let it fall. He heard the rest of the mutants start to moan and groan as they tried to stand up.

"At least the soldiers stopped shooting," Lance told him with a shrug.

Scott looked back at the team who were trying their best to stand. Lucky enough for Lance, nothing had fallen on them.

"Damn Lance," Devin grumbled. "ever think of controlling that anger?"

Lance turned to glare at him, but found a playful smile on his face.

"Okay who's humming!?" Bobby yelled.

Everyone turned to look at him and then at each other.

"No ones humming Bobby," Kitty told him while wiping the dirt off her pants.

"Your ears must be ringing from the earthquake," Ororo informed him.

"It's not ringing, it's a humming noise!" Bobby yelled in frustration. "I'm not-"

"Shhhh, wait," Evan said. "I hear it too,"

"Well that's new,"

Everyone turned to see what DJ was talking about. A small robotic spider about the size of small apple was crawling out of some rumble where the soldiers had fallen. It's beady red eyes focused on DJ and started running at him in a fast pace. Before it could even reach him, Eric had stepped on it.

"Ewww," DJ frowned as what seemed like oil and a weird green substance poured out of it with gears still attached.

"Oh, shit," Will mumbled as he slowly backed away from the pile of rumble.

One after another, the robotic spiders came pouring out of the small hole. All at once their beady eyes locked onto the mutants.

"I hate spiders," Amara said quietly while Kitty nodded next to her.

"I suggest we run people!" Bobby yelled at the same time the spiders moved in to attack.

Scott blew a couple dozen away with his blast and every once in a while Tabby would throw a few bombs over her shoulder.

Scott watched as DJ stopped and turned around to face the spiders.

"Everyone cover your ears!" he yelled.

DJ opened his arms wide and threw them together in a wide clap. It sounded like a large explosion as the spiders flew back and exploded as if something invisible had hit them. He turned around with a large smile that spread to his ears.

"And that's why they call me Sonic Boom,"

"Very creative," Rouge said flatly.

"Thank you," he smiled not catching the sarcasm.

The humming returned and Bobby walked forward and covered the hallway with a wall of ice.

"I take it back," Rouge said. "Iceman's WAY more creative,"

Bobby just frowned as Kurt and Evan started laughing at him.

"I think theirs just enough of us to where this doesn't seem so bad," Scott smiled.

"Won't have that luxury for long," Lance mumbled to where only Scott could here.

Scott faced a glare in his direction shutting him up. He was thankful that Logan had been chosen to stay with the professor. His hearing may have been an issue with Lance not being able to keep his mouth shut.

"Okay guys," Scott said drawing everyone's attention. "we have to keep moving. We're almost out,"

Scott felt bad for the guys. They could barely walk and they were being forced to run. He sighed and remembered that he and Lance didn't have a break when they escaped. They didn't have all these people to help them.

"Come on guys lets go!" he yelled.

(WILL)

"Kiss my a-" he started before Devin covered his mouth.

"We have to keep moving," he told the frowning red head.

Devin helped him up and they continued to follow the others down the hallway with heavy breaths.

(SCOTT)

"Everyone move back," he said spreading his arms wide. "I'm pretty sure on the other side of this wall is the outside,"

"We'll then blast it already!" DJ yelled with excitement.

After everyone moved away he blasted the wall. Light shone in and everyone instinctively covered their eyes from the sun.
