"What are we doing?" asked Laura suddenly.
"Umm, sitting here, doing nothing," replied Claudine nonchalantly.
"This isn't right."
"What are we going to do about it? The Prof. says not to go anywhere and more importantly Logan says not to go anywhere."
"We should be out there."
"Oh, you just want an excuse to use all those skills we learned in the DR."
"Wow, it's like you can read minds," replied Laura sarcastically.
"Hey, that doesn't mean I don't want to do the same thing." The two girls smiled at each other and got up to get suited up.
"I hope no one saw us," whispered Laura, following Claudine. They wore their uniforms under their everyday clothes just in case they were to run into the Professor or Logan.
"I hope you can fly the X Jet," replied Claudine. They arrived at the massive door of the hangar. She let out a breath she forgot she was holding. They had made it without running into anyone. She pressed the code on the keypad that she had read off of Scott and slipped into the massive room.
I told you we'd make it," said Laura confidently.
"Hey guys," yelped Kitty excitedly, causing Laura and Claudine to jump.
To their relief it was only Kitty, Kurt and Bobby. "You guys scared us," said Claudine angrily, "What are you doing down here?"
"What are you doing down here?" asked Bobby, nervously.
"Wait…you were going to take the X Jet down to the city to fight," smiled Claudine to Laura.
"No!" defended Kitty.
Kurt sighed, "She's a telepath. She already knows. Ja, ve vere. It's not right to just sit here."
Laura nodded solemnly, "I guess that makes five of us. We're in."
"What are y'all doin down here?" called Rogue followed by Scott and Jean.
"Ummm, just uh, taking a look at the jet. Yup, looks good. We'll be going now," said Bobby hurriedly.
"Not so fast," ordered Scott.
"Like, please don't tell the Professor," begged Kitty. Now they were definitely done for.
"The Professor's gone to Washington with Storm, Beast, and Wolverine. He put me in charge," said Scott raising an eyebrow, "Where do you all think you're going?"
Kurt opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off by Bobby, "Wait guys. I've got this."
"Well, you obviously were going to the city too, so why shouldn't we tell the Professor on you guys?"
Scott paused for a minute and then sighed, "Fine, you can come too."
Claudine smiled at the sight of Jean's hand in his and nodded, "Yes."
"Wait…" said Jean as the jet started up, "Who's watching the mansion then?"
"Jamie," replied Scott.
"Oh no."
