Snooping Around
Needless to say, all of the X-men (With the obvious exception of Jamie who was home schooled) came to school. This did not make Falcon happy. He would have been even more unhappy if he knew what some of them were up to.
"Hey what are they doing?" Taryn asked as she saw Scott and Jean sneak into Guyrich's office.
"Dunno," Anya said. "I have an idea, you go watch them." She took off. Taryn cautiously went to the door. It was opened just a crack so she saw them rummaging through his desk.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Jean asked.
"We have to get those plans," Scott said rummaging around in Guyrich's desk. "Maybe there's a clue to the Brotherhood here as well."
"This closet door is locked," Jean tried the door.
"Not for long," Scott carefully used his eyebeams to destroy the lock.
"Scott what are you…" Taryn gasped as she saw the beam from Scott's eyes disintegrate the lock. She stood there in shock.
"Uh Taryn…" Scott gulped. "It's not what it looks like!"
"What are you?" She looked at him.
"Taryn please listen to me," Jean said. "We can explain."
"What's to explain?" Guyrich came in with Anya. "They're both mutants. Freaks."
"Where's the Brotherhood Guyrich?" Scott snapped. "Tell us!"
"Or what?" Guyrich sneered. "You'll blast me in front of your friends? Or maybe you'll get Miss Grey here to read my mind?"
"I think I'd better go…" Taryn started to back away.
"Not so fast," Anya quickly gave a karate chop to the back of her head knocking her unconscious. She then attacked Jean.
"Nighty-night Red," She smirked as she took out a small stun taser and zapped Jean, knocking her out.
"Jean!" Scott went to help her but Guyrich knocked him out from behind.
"Well that was quick," Guyrich said. "So much for the element of surprise. But why did you knock Taryn out?"
"So she wouldn't blab to the rest of the building," Anya explained. "Besides, she was really getting on my nerves." She pressed a button on her lapel. "I just contacted the others. We're gonna have to settle for these two for now. Take 'em back to the hideout!"
What they forgot to realize was that they had left the door open. Neither of them noticed that someone was watching them. Oh man, Paul thought. I gotta get my dad! He ran off to get him.
