Evans told all he knew to Scott.
"You still got the hanky?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"We can use it to determine her Talent. Kurt'll pick it up."
"Right!"
Soon Kurt turned up, and he took the hanky to Hank, who peeled some of the dried blood off it. He started running a DNA check, while the other X-men searched for Rae.
Hank was soon able to radio Charles with some news.
"I've sorted Rae's files."
"And?"
"She's one plucky kid. 12 years old. Birthday in April. Photographic memory. Got a scholarship to Bayville High. Orphaned, when 2, due to a house fire, in which she lost both her parents, and her identical twin. Adopted by family with younger kids. Her foster parents died recently. So she's living with her adoptive grandparents, who live here."
"How about that blood sample?"
"She's got a strong mutant gene. One of the strongest I've ever seen. And a chemical abnormality, that I can't place."
"Any more news on her gift?"
"No. Either the chemical abnormality prevents me from finding out. Or maybe that it won't work with dried blood."
"Great! Add the fact that she seems to have vanished, and we're doing great!"
*~*~*
The X-men arrived back at the mansion, late that night, worn out, exhausted and frustrated.
"It's like she's vanished off the face of the Earth."
"Yeah!"
"Thing I'm worried about, is whether she can control her powers. They could be devastating."
"Do we even know what she can do?"
"Nope."
"I don't understand why she was scared of me." Scott put in.
"And what did she mean by her weakness?"
"Beats me!" They trudged on in silence, for a while.
"HELP!!!"
"What!"
"The others, we haven't' done their supper."
"They'll be famished!"
"Now, I'm sure they coped."
"Yes, they probably cooked for themselves."
"That's what I'm scared of. Remember last time they did any cooking?"
"Oh no!"
"The whole kitchen had to be refitted!"
"I remember that all too well!" Kurt 'ported, and the rest of them started running, flat out.
When they arrived there, the kitchen was pretty tidy, and free from all the destruction they were expecting.
"How did they manage it?"
"Never mind, I'm famished!"
"We can ask them, after we eat."
They all wandered round, looking for food.
"There's nothing to make a meal from, in the fridge." Scott said, shutting the fridge door. "But there's a note, stuck to it."
"What's it say."
" 'Hi, You didn't come back to cook supper. So we did. Give the microwave 5 minutes, and heat up some baked beans.' "
They served the food, once they had fetched Hank from the basement. They started to eat.
"Hey! This isn't bad." Evans said, his mouth full.
"You're right. We ought to get them to cook more often."
"Once we've finished, let's go thank them."
"Yeah."
Once they had finished eating, they wandered into the Common Room, and saw 8 heads of people lounging around, in front of the T.V.
"Thanks for the supper."
"Yeah, it was great."
"You can cook more often."
Suddenly all 8 figures reappeared in front of them. Bobby, Jubes, Sam, Ray, Rahine, Amara, Roberto and Jamie, in a sort of arc, with some one else, in the centre, a bandage around the bottom part of their right leg.
"You're welcome." Rae said.
