Disclaimer: I do not own X-Men:Evolution, Marvel Comics and the WB does. I also do not own the lyrics to "Prayer of the Children," Kurt Bestor and Sam Cardon do.



X-Men:Evolution
Prayer of the Children
Chapter 3



Can you hear the voice of the children?
Softly pleading for silence in their shattered world
Angry guns preach a gospel full of hate
Blood of the innocent on their hands
Crying Jesus help me to feel the sun again upon my face
For when darkness clears
I know you're near bringing peace again



The ten students released helped their teacher through the front doors of Bayville High and down the front steps where police and EMTs met the students and teacher. The students were rushed with their teacher to the medical area they had set up to make sure they were all okay. Ms. Mayfield was taken to Bayville Hospital by ambulience, while the other students were released to police officers to tell them what was happening.
Parents and Guardians had begun to show up to hope to find their child or children safe and sound. Many of the students were released with their parents and some students were released to a friend's parent after notifying their parent via cell phone. Among those to show up was Professor Charles Xavier, Ororo Munroe, and Logan. They were relieved that Evan, Kurt, and Rogue were safe, but were also worried about Scott, Jean, and Kitty. The police had decided to let the three stay with the kids until Jean, Scott, and Kitty were released.
"Auntie O!" Evan yelled when he saw his aunt and immediately ran to hug her.
"Professor," Kurt greeted Professor Xavier.
"Hey," Rogue said simply.
"How are you three doing?" the professor asked. "Evan?"
"I'm okay, just worried," Evan told them.
"Rogue?"
"I'm okay. It's just scarry knowing that kids could do this."
"Yes it is. Kurt?"
"I'm just vorried too, can you sense that they're okay?" Kurt asked the professor.
"I can, just a minute," Professor Xavier concentrated on his students inside the high school. He could sense all three of them , they were scared but they were okay. Jean...he tried to contact her telepathically, we're here. Are you all okay?
We're okay...Jean answered him telepathically. We're just scared Professor.
Don't worry we'll try to get you out. "She's okay, and so is Scott and Kitty."
"Oh good!" Kurt said in relief.
"That makes me feel alot better," Evan told them.
