Magneto came into the room with a whoosh, both doors slamming shut behind him. The rest of The Brotherhood could tell he wasn't happy.
"They have her." he said, giving the only indication of the reason he was upset. "Toad, you and Sabretooth, go to Xavier's school in Westchester. Patrol the boundaries of the property. Xavier's land is approximately 5 miles long on either side so it won't be an easy task. Be on your guard…They will be expecting us."
Toad jumped up to his feet. He had mixed emotions. On one hand, he was glad to finally be doing something to get her back, and be closer to where she was. On the other, he had hoped to be doing something more than just surveillance.
"Mystique." Magneto said turning to the blue skinned female. "I have something else for you to do."

"I brought you something to eat." Scott Summers said as he entered the brig.
He shut the door behind him, perfectly balancing the tray of organically grown healthy food in one hand.
"You'd probably prefer red meat, but I brought you something wholesome instead. An all veggie sandwich…on whole wheat." he said still looking at the tray. "I just hope you like mustar…" Cyclops had looked up and adjusted his visor, thinking for a moment that what he saw couldn't be real.
The force field was gone, and so was Racheal.

John Allardyce, better known to himself and a few friends as Pyro, was sitting on his bed in the room he shared with Bobby Drake. He was flicking his lighter on and off, but his mind wasn't even aware of it.
He was questioning himself. Why had he helped the girl escape? It wasn't really in his nature to help people. In fact, the reason he had went down there in the first place was to laugh at her. How lame was it to get caught by Summers? Very.
But when he had seen her in the cell, something struck him. He had almost felt sorry for her. He shrugged and figured some beings weren't meant to be caged, but was that really the reason?

Racheal was running as fast as she could, being barefooted, through the wooded area behind the Xavier mansion. Still relying on her instincts to guide her through the maze of trees. She wasn't sure where she was headed or how to get there. The sun was setting fast, but her thoughts weren't of finding shelter, they were of finding Mortimer.

"The fire kid's been in here recently." Wolverine said sniffing the air in the cell.
"John?" Storm asked, her face blanketed with disbelief.
Wolverine nodded, and walked past her and Cyclops. They quickly followed Logan's lead.
They walked up into the boys dormitory area, where they found John sitting on his bed.
"What were you doing in the holding area?" Cyclops asked John, who looked surprised at the intrusion.
"I don't know what you're talking about." he said and rolled his eyes at Scott Summers.
"Listen, bub," Wolverine said stepping forward, lifting John up by his shirt collar. "I know you was down there, so fess up."
"I just wanted to look at her. She tricked me." John said, obviously worried about the close proximity of Logan's blades.
Logan dropped the kid back on his bed and turned to Scott.
"We're wasting time, she cant be far."

The sun had long set and there was no moon to replace it. Racheal was just beginning to wish she had night vision powers, when she heard something moving very close to where she stood.
Whatever or who ever it was heard her too, cause it immediately got very quiet.
She bent down slowly and ran her long fingers across the ground until….bingo…a stick. Slowly rising into a battle stance she waited. The blood pulsing thru her ears skewing her hearing.
Just as she began to think maybe she had imagined it there was a whoosh behind her. She turned fast using the stick to stab who ever it was, but luckily a hand caught hers in mid swing.
"That you, luv?" came that all to familiar accent.
"Mortimer?" she asked and dropped the stick she was holding.
She heard him rummaging and then a flashlight beam came on. Sure enough big green eyes and a huge gummy smile greeted her.
"It really is you!" she exclaimed and flew into his arms, where he held her back as tightly as possible. "I thought….I thought…."
"You thought I wouldn't come for you." he finished for her. He sounded hurt.
"No," she answered, her face still buried in his neck. "I thought I would never get the chance to tell you I love you."
"You were all that I thought about." was all he managed to say in return.
Toad grabbed his communicator and let Sabretooth know that Racheal was found and safe with him.
"Here," Toad said holding her close to him. "Let's get you back where you belong. Let's get you home."
Mortimer wrapped Racheal's legs and arms around him. Warned her to hold on tight, and leaped straight up into the air. They came down with a thud meters away.
It was a bumpy ride but she hardly noticed. She was exactly where she wanted to be.
