Chapter 9 - Leaving one place, arriving in another.
At the Xavier instiutute Tally was talking to the professor.
"So ye se professor", she said, still upset, "you have been wondeful but...i have te leave. I have te be with me family".
"Of course", said the professor with a nod, "we will miss you Tally. But you are right, you need to be with your family at a time like this. Do you need a ride to New York?".
"That would be nice, thank ye professor", said Tally with a sigh, "i just wish i could say goodbye te Evan".
"Yes", said Storm with a sigh, "he will miss you alot. When do you wish to leave?".
"Well. i have te be in Scotland tomorow", she said, "so today would be best".
"Okay Tally", said Xavier, "go and pack up your things. Storm will take you to New York when your done".
"Thank ye professor", said Tally tearfully, and walked out of his study, heading to her room.
"It seems your nephew had bad luck when it come to love Orono", said Xavier with a sigh.
"He's young", said Storm, "he'll find someone. He's just going to have to go thorugh a few...disapointments first".
A few hours later found Storm parking the X-van in the huge driveway of the Toynbee estate. She, Rogue and Tally got out and walked over to the door.
"Are you okay?", Storm asked Tally.
"I...think so", said Tally with a sigh.
Storm nodded and gave Tally a pat on the shoulder before knocking the door. It wasn't long before Daniel Toynbee's lifelong butler, Martin, opened it.
"Oh hello again", he said to Rogue with a sight smile, then saw Tally and sighed, "i'm awfully sorry Miss McGregor".
"Its okay Martin", she said with a shrug, Martin had always been good friends with her father and mother, it was expected as they were all servants in the same house, "how is mam?".
"She's terribly upset", said Martin, "but it will do her good to see you. Come on, i'll take you to her".
With that, Martin headed into the house, followed by Storm, Rogue and Tally. They finally made it to the servants quaters where a downhearted Penny McGregor was sitting at the long wooden table. She looked up when she heard everyone come in. Her face boke into a smile when she saw her daughter. Penny stood up and ran over to Tally, giving her a hug.
"Och, its soo good te se ye Tally", he said weepily.
"Its good te se ye too mam", said Tally.
It was at his point that Daniel Toynbee chose to enter. He narrowed his eyes slightly at Rogue and Orono as he passed them before smailing at Tally.
"Ah, made it safe and sound i see", he said, "i hope accept my humblest sympathies during this time of great loss".
"I don't think he could be humble if he tried", muttered Rogue before being hushed by Storm.
"Thank ye Mr Toynbee", said Penny, "we cannae thank ye enough for offering te pay for our flight back te Scotland".
"Don't mention it", said Daniel with a smile.
He turned to face Orono and Rogue. He was smiling, but his eyes made it clear that they were no longer welcome.
"Young Tally here is safe now", he said, "you were awfully good bringing her here, but she has to leave pretty soon. Besides, i am sure you have otherwise much more pressing matters to attend to, i shall show you to the door".
With that, he started to make his way towards the door.
"Ah want ta say goodby first", said Rogue, walking up to Tally and giving her a hug.
"Of course", said Daniel, surpressing a groan.
"Ah'll miss ya'll Tally", said Rogue.
"I'll miss ye too Rogue", said Tally, hugging Rogue back, "tell the other i'll miss them will ye?".
"Sure thing", said Rogue.
"Oh Storm", said Tally, "can ye give this te Evan. Tell him i'm really sorry i couldn't say goodbye. I had time te pen this before we left".
She handed Storm an envelope.
"I'll see that he gets it", said Storm, giving Tally a hug, 2be carefull out there".
"I will", said Tally, then whispered, "i think ye better go before Mr. Toynbee looses it".
Storm and Rogue looked over at Daniel, who was trying to remain calm, but not doing a very good job of it.
"Okay, goodbye Tal'", said Rogue, walking away.
"Yes, have a safe journey", said Storm.
With that, they left the room, amost being pushed out the door by Daniel.
"Well goodbye", he said, hurridely, "have a safe trip home".
"Well, ah' can see where Todd gets his stubborness from", said Rogue with a smile.
Daniels eyes narrowed at the soud of his sons name.
"I wondered when you'd bring HIM up", he said, "but now is not the time to chit-chat. Especially about ungreatfull ragamuffins. Good day!".
With that, he slammed the door. Rogue chuckled and looked up to Storm.
"You think he still had parental issues?", she said.
"Definately", said Storm with a laugh.
"Wait 'till Todd finds out he was called a 'Ragamuffin'", said Rogue, "he's gonna love that one!".
Rogue and Storm climbed into the X-van and drove back off to the institute.
Meanwhile, many miles away, the Blackbird was flying over Egypt.
"So where are we supposed ta land this thing?", asked Logan, "i mean, Egypts a pretty big place".
"We need to go to Babusitis", said Bastet, then saw everyone looking at her, "oh, sorry. Its near Zagazig now, the Delta region".
"Thank you", said Logan, flying the jet towards the pointed out place.
Sabertooth arrived up front and took a seat.
"Mosta the kids are asleep", he said, "they've had a long trip".
"I wish I could sleep", muttered Logan.
"Well why don't ya?", asked Sabertooth.
"'Cause i don't trust YOU thats why", said Loagn with a growl.
"Fine", said Sabertooth, narrowing his eyes, "we'll BOTH stay awake then".
"Suit yourself", said Bastet with a shrug, "i'm going to sleep".
She curled up in her seat and rested her head on the headrest.
"Men", she muttered before falling to sleep.
Okay people, remember to review. I'll try and get chapters up as quickly as possible. I'm just waiting for inspiration to strike. Until next time then.....
