Guess who's back? I wrote a new chapter!!







Lance regained consciousness a little later. His head hurt and he felt like he'd been slugged by a bear. He felt the bruise developing on his neck. It stung like a mother. And his chest burned with the fire of broken and bruised ribs.

" He's waking up."

" Lance? Can you heasr us?"

He groaned at the light in his face.

" What?" He said.

" CAN YOU HEAR US?!!" Someone yelled in his ear.

" Ah!!" He cried jumping up.

He fell on the cold floor. That's when he realized where he was. And how much that fall hurt him. He groaned and held his rib cage. He was in the X- Mansion. The X-Men and the other members of the Brotherhood. He looked up at the blue face in his line of vision and yelped.

" Wah! Get outta my face furball!!" He yelled pushing him back.

" He's awake." Kurt said smiling.

" What happened to you?" Kitty asked.

" I don't remember." He said rubbing the back of his neck.

" Better start bub!!" Logan said pulling him up from the floor by his collar and holding him to the wall.

Lance tried to pry his arm off his neck so he could breathe properly. But the hand would not budge from his throat. Logan unsheathed his claws in front of his face.

" Now tell me what happened or you're going to need alot more medical attention than this place can give you." He warned.

" Logan! Put him down!" Ororo ordered.

He growled; but didn't let go.

" Logan...!" She said in a warning tone.

He glared at him and dropped him. Lance hit the ground and coughed. Fred lifted him to his feet. Ororo came over to him.

" Are you alright child?" She asked.

" Yes ma'am, I'm fine." He said.

" What happened when you went to see him?" Pietro asked.

Lance thought hard about what had happened. He replayed the events from the baby being kidnapped to Sabrina doubted him.

" I went to the base and got his location out of Mystique. Then I-I went to his desert HQ and demanded what he thought he was doing. He toyed with me for a while, asking me if I really loved Sabrina. Then he said..." He trailed.

" He said what? What did he say?" Scott asked.

" He told Lance what we already confirmed." Xavier said rolling in.

Lance shook his head. Him and his hormones. He was going to have them looked at once this whole thing was over with. He still couldn't believe that all he felt for Sabrina was fake and he'd just been used for his genes. And her too. It was his fault that she was in this too. He blamed himself for anything that might have happened to her. He already blamed himself for getting her pregnant.

Professor Xavier explained what Ororo and Lance and Logan already knew to the others. Meanwhile, Lance tried to decided what was going on inside of him. He cared about Sabrina he knew, but he didn't know what that extent was. If he didn't really love her, what about their son? And if he did, what was he going to do to get her away from Magneto?

" -So can you take us Lance?" Scott

" Huh? What?" He said.

" The kid asked if you can take us back to the palace where Sabrina is being held." Logan asked.

" I'm sure he's not there anymore. He'd be even more careful now that he has the baby. He'll try and keep him and train him to think like him until he's of age to us his powers properly. That's why he needs Sabrina too." Xavier said.

" So he went into hiding huh? Well, hiding will be about all he will be able to do once I'm finished." Logan said once again unsheathing his claws.

" We'll have to find him first Logan. He could be any where." Ororo said.

" Not anywhere." Pietro spoke up.

They all turned to him. He was standing in the corner. He looked like he was actually upset with his father.

" When he wants to hide he'll go somewhere where you can't reach him. He'll call for me and then we'll make a trap and then he'll get rid of you. That's how he works." He said shrugging.

*************

So a plan was made. They were going to wait until Pietro was called then they woould follow him and confront Magneto.

While they waited, the others had to train so they wouldn't clash when they got into battle. Lance and Scott were the two leaders and Pietro and Jean were second in command. At first they butted heads:

" Now you listen to me hard head-"

" Get off my back you Star Trek reject!"

But soon they got the hang of it after being reminded what would happen if they should happen to fail. Watching a toddler throw a tantrum and knock you on your butt while he destorys whatever a few times will make you learn.

***************

Sabrina floated in the chemical sloution angrily. She had been trying to get out for a good while now, but she could not. She had bruised her fist trying to bust out and her feet were sore from kicking. She didn't have so much energy to begin with so she had to be put on some medicines when she started to get a fever.

Mystique was watching her; telling her how she knew what she was going through; as far as pregnancy went. She went on and on. Sabrina really wish she'd shut up, but she would not no matter how much she seemed to want it.

She looked over to her son in the chamber next to her. HEr harsh eyes softened when she looked at the sleeping boy. She love him so much. And if Magneto or Lance thought they were going to take him from her, they had another thing coming. She would make sure neither would get away with something like that.

Lance.

She remembered him. She remembered what Magneto had told them about their attraction to each other. He told them everything they were was a lie. He told them that he was the one responsible for everything and it was all for their child.

She remembered asking Lance if he really knew anything about this whole ordeal. When he didn't answer, she feared it was true. She feared he really didn't care about her and he had allowed himself to be a pawn in Magneto's game.

She could still feel him out there. He was trying to reach her with his mind. She could feel it. He was slightly brushing against her mind. He was trying to contact her. For the longest time, she had been blocking him out, but he was getting stronger each time. He would soon be able to break through her shields.

But she knew he wouldn't do that. He had the power to break her shields this time he called out to her. But he didn't. He was pleading with her to answer him.

~ Sabrina....Please, answer me~ He said.

~ ......What is it Lance?~ She finally asked.

~ There you are. I didn't think you'd answer.~ He said.

~ Why did you do it Lance?~ She asked.

~ What are you talking about?~ He asked.

~ What Magneto said. Did you really know about all this? Did you really just want me for my genes? You never really loved me?~ She asked.

~ You know that's not true. You know I'd never do something like that. It was Magneto. He's the oine that did all this.~ He said.

~ You didn't answer my question. Did you ever really love me?~ She asked.

She felt him sigh. He was thinking.

~ I...I don't know Sabrina.~
