Runaway Home - Part 2 ~ Chapter 22

AgentMaryMargaretSkitz: Thank you so much for your review, there'll be more memories for Logan before the series is over. Don't worry Mystique is in safe hands.

I'm planning to do this series as two separate stories each of three parts, the first is this story called Runaway Home the second I plan to call Finding Family. I'll only start writing this one when this one is over.

Magneto rushed through the corridors keeping a constant eye open for soldiers.
Storm touched her earpiece before saying, "Magneto you need to hear this. Mystique she's been shot, Leo's taking her to the jet, it must be serious, they're meeting Jean there."
"How serious?"
"I'm not sure, d'you want to stop, check on her?"
"No we've got a job to do, you two get the children out I'll carry on to Cerebro."
"Ok we'll meet you at the jet once this is over."

Jean and Scott stood in front of the jet as its hangar opened, in a display of perfect timing as soon as the door had hit the ground a streak of yellow lightning flashed up the ramp.
"Good to see you made it Leo," Jean then looked at him, "oh god Leo what the hells wrong?"
"Ad... Ad... Adrenaline," he said in between huge gasps for air.
"Got it," shouted Scott throwing the injector across the plane where it was telekinetically grabbed by Jean before being stabbed into Leo's leg.
Slowly sitting up Leo groaned, "thank you, d'you have any energy bars?"
"Yep, as soon as Melinda knew you'd got to us she urged us to stock up."
Four of the specially engineered energy bars and Leo was bouncing ready to go.
"Sit down Leo I need to look at Mystique first then Scott, then your having a quick exam."
Recognising the time of voice Leo removed his cowl and sat down to wait, nibbling on a fifth bar forlornly.

"Help."
"Got us out of here."
"Hello is anyone there?"
Hearing the sound of the scared children made Storm rush into the room Nightcrawler hot on her heels. The chorus of, "Storm," told her they'd got the right room.
"Kurt can you..."
BAMF
The screams of the children told her where he'd teleported to, "guten tag."
"Can you get them to the jet, Kurt?"
"I'll try fräulein," he then vanishes with a BAMF to return seconds later childless.
"It is manageable," he then grabbed another child and vanished with her.

In the jet Leo was broken out of his self-musing by a child appearing in a cloud of black smoke. Then another and another.

"Now your turn fräulein," said Kurt reappearing and grabbing Storm. She was shocked she hadn't realised he'd finished teleporting the students.
"Ok but be careful, I don't want you passing out."
BAMF
They're suddenly on the X-Jet amidst a mass of children, to full stretchers and Jean. Where Leo was there's the wrapper of a fifth energy bar and a few sparks flickering to the ground.

Kitty and Skye were lost, they'd done as told. Taken the first left and then second right but they'd no idea where they were. Their confused wandering a were broken up by the sound of a frenzied fight from a room to their left. Curiosity getting the better of them they enter, within they find Logan brutally fighting a female guard.
"Lo..." Shouts Kitty.
"No don't," says Skye clasping a hand over her mouth, "you'll distract him."
"He might need our help,"
"Then he'll ask I'm sure he's noticed us."
"So's she," cried Kitty, pulling Skye into an embrace phasing the pair of them as she did. Yuriko had realised there must have been a relationship between Logan and the girls. Seeing she was making little head way with attacking Logan she tried a new tact. She hadn't however could red on Kitty seeing her and phasing them, making her pass right through. Now she was outnumbered three to one and know she realistically didn't stand a chance as it was she had her orders, take down the Wolverine at all costs. Growling she circles round trying to get a clearer shot at Logan through the girls, they're an unknown there's no mention of their abilities in Stryker's records. Seeing little option but to attack first she sprints at the still unknown mutant, away from Logan.
Skye sees the mutant heading for her and as she leaps for her she does the only thing she can. She releases a huge seismic wave sending her flying back. Right onto Logan's waiting claws, which sever her spinal column killing her instantly.
