Previously:

The green eyed female laughed, "We've only met this group once so we don't really know what they are like. They could be normal teenagers like you and I." Bobby sighed so she continued, "Lee's is smart, we've seen that from the strategies that he taught us to practice with out Beyblade's."

The male laid down as Kitty phased in, "I…I know." He smiled and rubbed his face, "I just feel useless. I can't think of one thing that could help him get out of the situation he is in right now."

"Then like talk with us. I bet we could come up with something together."

Jean nodded in agreement to what Kitty said, "We can do some planning after we get some homework done. How does that sound?"

Bobby nodded sitting up, "Yeah, I like the sound of that."

Now:

Remy looked at Lee saying quietly, "He should warn you. Magneto will make sure dat he is unable to help you. If Remy tries to help he could be punished." Lee nodded in understanding, "Okay, I'll be right here. Unless Magneto opens de door and pulls him out wit de metal on him dey can't get Remy out of de room."

They heard the system start up making Lee look up. He listened carefully to everything going on around him. His instincts alerted him to something approaching on his right so he quickly looked at what was headed his way as he jumped back. The hologram just missed the cat teen. Lee eyed the hologram before charging forward. The hologram tried to hit him but it had been easily destroyed with a swift kick to the head breaking its neck. However Lee didn't relax as he quickly went to strike the other holograms that were being pulled up. The Neko continue to move with quick efficiency taking out every single enemy that was pulled up for him.

Everything Magneto threw at the teen on the lower levels found that the cat teen was extremely flexible and quick to react because his instincts helped the teen react so fast that Magneto was shocked. He could tell that the teen had previous experience when it came to fighting but this was ridiculous. Lee was blowing through the training holograms like crazy. And when he wasn't they were barely touching the Neko.

Remy was shocked as he jaw dropped. 'Dis is amazing. He had to have been in the danger room at the X-Men mansion. But was he this quick?' Lee gave a bored glare in the direction of the control room and yawned in the most insulting way he could. The Cajun smacked a hand over his face, 'You have got to be kidding him. Lee did not just do dat.'

"Okay, I think that is enough for now." Magneto's voice said over the inter com, he sounded irritated at the bored look the Neko gave him. "Gambit it's your turn."

Lee looked at his nails while Magneto had Sabertooth in the training room. "You know your uncle wants to talk to you." The Chinese rolled his eyes in response turning his back to the mad man at the training room controls. "You have to talk eventually."

"Remy doesn't tink he will."

"What do you mean?" The metal controlling mutant asked glancing at the Cajun.

"He tinks dat because you are near Lee, he will stay dat way till he's away from you and Sabertooth." Remy explained, "De entire time he's been here he's only gotten his ability to write his responses. But it's like whatever is holding de other side to him back won't let go because dis side more than likely sees you two as a t'reat. It's hard to explain."

"How do you know this?"

The teen froze looking at Magneto, "What are you talking about? Know what?"

"How do you know all of this about him? I doubt he's told you this information yet Lee has not once physically denied what you have said." Magneto stared into the Acolyte teen's sunglasses covered eyes, "How do you know?"

"From observation. He's just observing what he sees." Remy replied somewhat timidly, he had not quite been prepared for the question he was given. When Erik didn't look convinced he added, "How else is Remy supposed to be a good tief? He has to be observant otherwise he will be caught."

Magneto looked away still unconvinced causing Lee to look at Remy curiously. The man sighed when the teen practically glared at him from behind his sunglasses. 'He still is not saying anything. Why is he hiding the real reason? What is he using that is helping him understand Lee better than just simple observation skills? It's way too simple and easy that he's picked up on what is happening to Lee this fast.' Sabertooth walked out of the training room looking at Lee who was snarling at him from behind the thief. Now that Magneto thought about it the Chinese only seemed to show comfort with Pyro and Colossus when Remy was in the room with. Never did the Logan's son seem to leave Remy's side. The teenager reminded him of a feisty kitten. "You are good to go."

Lee followed behind Remy to the Cajun's room or wherever the red on black eyed male was headed. Sabertooth growled, "Little brat. He will talk to me."

Magneto glanced at the Canadian only asking when he was sure that the teens were not in hearing range, "Sabertooth, do you think Remy is hiding something?"

"He is. I don't know what it is but he is hiding something. I'm surprised you are just noticing." The feral said looking over at the mastermind.

Erik narrowed his eyes as he looked over the results from the training, "Do you think it is an ability he is keeping to himself." Sabertooth looked confused so he continued, "There are times it seems he is more hyper aware of what is going on around him."

Sabertooth tapped his arm, "Now that you mention it, I do find that he is harder to sneak up on Gumbo. No matter what I do he always seems to catch me just before I decide to pounce. Every time I ask how he knows he says as a thief he can't let himself get caught. I call bull."

The metal controlling mutant frowned at the thought. He had noticed Sabertooth had taken up a hobby of trying to scare the Cajun. Due to him watching for when the Canadian did decide to do so he had seen the same thing. Just like he had described Remy seemed hyper aware of the world around him that went way past a normal thieves awareness. He touched his chin as he thought this through, 'It has to be a secondary ability. But why would he hide it from us? It makes no sense.'

"Did you want me to do something about it?"

"At the moment no. Whatever the secondary ability is its just allowing him to be aware of his surroundings more than normal. It is causing no harm to us." Magneto replied though in his head he frowned, 'I wish I knew what it was and why he thinks it's okay to hide this kind of information from me.' Nodding he pulling up something on the computer then looked at Sabertooth, "Leave him be for now. Our main objective is to get Lee to cooperate. If we can't get him to do that then what I want to get done will set us back."

"We could have easily gotten my brother's girlfriend to do it." Sabertooth spat in distaste.

"She would have never cooperated. We both knew that. Besides Lee's electricity is special." He indicated to the chart he pulled up on the computer.

Sabertooth's jaw dropped, "He's been hitting me with that much electricity?"

"No, he's been hitting you with a low dosage. This is just the reading I was getting when he was still mad at me. It is possible that he has more power that is just not seen yet."

"So you are telling me he causes the same damages as normal electricity just twice as fast?" The feral looked over at the magnet mutant when he nodded, "All because it is red?"

"That is my guess. If I had to rate what level mutant he was I would say a level four."

Sabertooth blinked, "You basically just told me that Wolverine produced a level five mutant when that brat evolves." The Canadian stepped back from the screen, "Lee could kill someone if he wanted to."

"Or if he didn't. I think it would depend on how angry he is." Magneto said looking at the chart. It was actually quite troubling if this teenager decided to actually attack anyone other than Wolverine and Sabertooth with large doses of his electricity. Erik was eternally happy that he was able to control metal. So long as he could keep that red electricity away from him he wouldn't have to worry about the idea of dying if this child decided he was angry enough.

Logan threw his cigar to the ground and stomped it out. This was the third one he tried to smoke in his anger. The longer Lee was away from him the angrier the got. He held himself when he felt Ororo wrap her arms around his shoulders. "You need to calm down. I understand you are worrying about him but we will get him back I promise."

"But he has his mother's anger. If they make him angry enough he will attack them. That's what the primal side will do. We still haven't identified how powerful his powers are yet." Logan replied as his claws came out.

"I think you might be underestimating your own anger." Storm said softly as she laid her head on his shoulder, "It appears amount of anger he has is hereditary from both sides."

He tried not to but Logan smiled softly hearing that, "You really think I can get that bad?"

"If someone truly angered you like Magneto has, most defiantly."

The feral chuckled, "Fair enough, he could have gotten his anger from me." Wolverine sighed, "Do we have any idea where the Acolyte Base is?"

"Unfortunately no." The bleached hared woman replied, Logan could feel her eyelashes against his cheek, "But I'm sure we will find him. There is no way that we can't."
