6/7-Friday early morning (6am)

Dear Diary,

It was beautiful, it was perfect, it was the best thing we've ever done. And it worked! It really truly worked!

We stuck to the plan for the most part and it all came together.

Let me explain:

It started out with Ororo causing a huge thunder and lightening storm along with some fog. The fog was a cover to get us all to the building without being caught by cameras and the storm was a diversion to make the people inside think that it would be the cause of the computer systems crashing. Ororo, Kurt and Jean got each of us to the building safely. We were all deposited on the top except for Scott and Amara. Kurt switched to his brand new military scientist image before Forge got started. We did one more check of the communicator's before the plan went into motion. Forge reminded us that we had limited time to get to the others and get out of there safely before the computer and security systems went back up. We nodded our heads and Forge worked his magic shutting down all the systems. I phased thru the ceiling and made sure that the coast was clear. Kurt teleported in with Tabitha and Jean, I phased thru. Scott and Amara stayed outside with Forge and Ororo to cover just in case things got out of control and we needed back up. Ororo stopped the storm and thinned the fog after we entered.

Things went better than expected at first. We figured Kurt would have to walk around for a few minutes before being able to find out where the others were located but it was our luck that almost immediately after we got in, we heard footsteps coming from a side corridor. I phased Jean, Tabitha, and myself into an empty room and we waited while Kurt ran into the person walking down the corridor. He found out exactly where Rogue and the others were being held by making idle chitchat. He communicated back to us when the coast was clear to come out of the room. We did and realized that we better hurry because the guy Kurt talked to mentioned that the systems had shutdown from the storm but they'd be up shortly. Word spread that fast! Wow!

Anyways, we continued on our path down halls and stairs. It was actually quite amazing that there was no one around in the hallways. Let me rephrase that. It was quite amazing that there was no one around in the hallways until an alarm sounded.

Apparently, when Forge shutdown the security systems, it didn't shutdown the outside ones, just the inside ones (I'll explain why the outside alarm was triggered in a bit-and no, it wasn't because of Amara or the others).

The alarm sounded and suddenly the halls filled with military people. I was lucky enough to phase us girls into a room that was again empty when the alarm first sounded. Kurt stayed out in the halls and reiterated all that was going on.

We could hear some of the military guys in passing yelling for double security around the mutant's holding cell while they made their way to go check for things outside. That's when I communicated with Ororo to watch out because the military people were making their way to the outside. I later found out that Amara used her power to melt the lock on the main entrance door to keep the people inside for a little while longer before they could blast thru it and spoil everything. Ororo messaged back to us to hurry. In all the hoopla of scientists and military men running around, Kurt found his way to the holding cell. He messaged that he was there and it was surrounded. He said he could teleport in but that we needed to draw some of the attention away from the room.

That's when us girls really got to see some action. We went balls-to-the- wall-all-out-kicking-butt!

Tabitha got a whole bunch of her mini-bombs ready and I phased the 3 of us thru the door out into the hallway. Everyone stopped to stare at us in total shock for a second or two before Tabitha let the bombs fly! People went running and screaming everywhere! Jean used her power to throw guys out of our way as we started running down the corridor we were in. I held onto both girls and concentrated on keep us in a continuous phase state so we could run thru walls and doors. We caused so much havoc and chaos! Tabitha enjoyed it the most. She threw out so many mini-bombs. At one point, 2 guys with guns shot at us but I had that part covered with the phasing ability.

Kurt messaged back that the guys surrounding the cell were dispersing and to keep up whatever we were doing. He said he was going in and he'd see us on the outside with the others. We didn't have a chance to message him back because we were caught up with causing trouble. The more damage we could do, the better. We drew away almost everyone surrounding the cell.

We started having more and more guys shooting at us. A bullet did graze Tabitha's upper right arm when I faltered a little with the phasing power. One also skimmed my right calf when I faltered a second time. We just kept praying that Kurt would hurry and let us know when everyone was safe. All the while, Jean was still throwing guys left and right. The 3 of us worked as one whole unit! After another minute or so of running around and dodging bullets and people, Kurt messaged us that he was out with everyone. Jean let him know that we were too far inside the building for me to be able to use my power to get us out. We got kinda lost from all the running and dodging. Kurt said he had just enough power left to come get us all, he just needed Jean to telepathically show him where we were.

I phased us thru a few more doors and rooms till we knew we had enough time for Jean to show Kurt and she did. He teleported to us and then teleported us out to the front doors of the building. Ororo got Forge off the top of the building and they joined all of us on the ground.

There was no time for a happy reunion with everyone. As soon as we were out, Kurt collapsed and was out cold. He used up all his powers by teleporting so many people in such a short time with no rest in-between. My powers were just about spent as well.

Not to mention Rogue, Logan, Evan, and Mr. McCoy didn't look too great. The only captive who looked like he had enough energy to fight was Fred.

Within a few seconds of being on the outside and Kurt collapsing, the people inside the building got thru Amara's handiwork by blasting the doors. Scott immediately started blasting at them and Amara shot magma beams. Jean did the best she could by holding them off and Tabitha used up the rest of her powers with a few mini-bombs. They held them off as best they could. As more and more guys came pouring out of the entranceway, we thought things were hopeless. But then the least likely person imaginable saved us all.

The ground started to rumble and shake. The front part of the building collapsed and cut off the entranceway so no more guys could come out. The gun-totters who remained outside ran away. Finally the ground stopped shaking and Lance emerged from the woods.

This is going to sound all movie-like or bookish but the moonlight danced across his dark expression and he never looked more beautiful. It really was like a scene from a movie. He strode out of the trees with an aura of power and control. There was complete silence and all eyes were upon him. His hair glistened a little and the shadows played across his features making him look surreal and totally sexy! He radiated authority and beauty and something inside me responded in ways I can't describe. It was like seeing Lance in a totally different light and I was mesmerized. His voice was so deep and commanding as he said, "Let's get out of here."

Fred draped Kurt over his shoulder and both of us followed Lance. The rest went with Scott.

No one said a word on the way to our new home. I think Fred was still in shock and Kurt was still passed out. On the way, I became painfully aware of the bullet graze to my leg but I didn't make mention of it till we stopped. Fred took Kurt inside and Lance and I had a few moments of alone time. I favored my hurt leg as I got out of Lance's jeep and he asked if I was hurt. I told him what had happened and he got out to help me. I tried to walk myself but I ended up sorta falling and Lance caught me. I looked up into his eyes and said thanks for everything. I told him he was the one who saved us in the end and I would be forever grateful. He said nothing but had this look of infinite sadness in his eyes.

Then he held me tight as if to reassure himself that I was actually there. He started mumbling fast and I picked up bits and pieces like "I'm glad you're safe" and "I could have lost you" and "I was so worried about you."

He pulled back slightly and lifted my chin with his hand and we kissed. Our lips trembled once again from pure emotion. I felt faint and almost passed out. Lance picked me up and carried me inside. No one was saying much except Evan's mom who was hugging all over her son, crying and praising the powers above. It was a sweet moment but I just felt so light- headed and exhausted. Lance carried me upstairs to my room (with my groggy directions) and he laid me down on the bed. I was nearly out of it as he went for supplies to dress and cover my wound. Right before he left, he kissed my forehead and told me he loved me. Then he was gone and I let the darkness overtake me.

Its a few hours later now and no one is up. We'll have our happy reunion as soon as everyone wakes.

But we did it Diary, just like I said we would.

We got them back!

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

(Later Friday, around 3pm)

Everyone woke up around 9am. We had our happy reunion! I don't think I let go of Rogue or Logan for at least an hour. I just held onto them and cried and cried and cried. We all had a million questions and a million explanations. The hardest part came when they asked us why we were where we were at instead of the Institute. We had to explain about Mystique blowing the place up and about the aftermath of it. We spent hours filling them in on what took place, how we found things out, the new mutant betrayal, Professor X missing, school, the press and recent mutant attacks—everything.

It was so disheartening seeing their faces as they learned about the events that took place since their capture. Logan was especially distraught about the Professor missing. He plans on searching for him asap.

Once we got done explaining our side, we found out what became of them.

After they were captured and taken away, they were somehow extracted from the gook and a bunch of scientists preformed tons of experiments on them. From reflex tests, blood tests, brain scans, to semi-torturous procedures. The scientists tried to gather as much information about the X-gene and mutants as possible. They were barely fed and were exposed to a bunch of mutant-hating humans. Logan was kept locked up more so because he was the most "difficult" as they put it.

We told them about Trask's talk later today in Bayville and if he's still is on, we're all going. Logan has some unfinished business with him.

I'll tell ya about it tomorrow if it happens.

I'm going to go be with everyone now... It's been way too long without em…
