The Windy City, also known as Chicago.just like any other day everything is going by like nothing is wrong people rushing through the streets on their way to work and teenagers rushing to school. All you hear is the sound of buildings being renovated and taxies honking at one another while the drivers swear at each other while cutting each other off. Normally this would take place all day but today sees a chain of events that start of with a mere tremor. People are shaken and wonder what that could have been about.than all of a sudden it begins. High up in the sky as workers doing construction on some of the buildings down through Wabash street work they loose control of a beam. ~Creak~ the workers hear and shout "Everyone get out of the way". The tremor caused the machinery to move unexpectedly causing some errors. The people down below unknowing hear and stare in horror as the beam comes crashing down ready to crush any poor person that happened to stand below it. All of a sudden people around stop and scream in horror as this happens while those below the workers rush out of the beams way. ~SMASH~ The thunderous sound explodes as the beam hits the floor. Than all of a sudden the tremor comes back only this time it lasts longer and things begin the crumble. Now everyone starts to panic and they all start running for cover as they scream. The police on traffic control begin to yell at people "Take cover" while trying to keep them calm. Than out of nowhere a huge hole breaks into the middle of the street and out flies the bodies of 2 men.

Avalanche: That son of a bitch think he can do better than me! I'll show him.

Toad: You better; we don't want them tailing us. They've been tracking us for quite some time.

Avalanche: Oh don't worry I will!

Avalanche begins to tremble his fist as the ground beneath begins to tremble causing windows as well as buildings to crack.

Dazzler: That's enough! There are too many people around, there's no reason for them to get involved.

Toad: Well honey you should have thought about that before you followed us.

Rictor: Oh you're going to be so sorry cabron!

As the mutants argue police cars begin to flood around and cops begin to step out and aim. "Stay where you are, and put your hands up, we are warning you put your hands up". As the police ready to fire the ground begins to shake furiously.

Rictor: Stop that! Its enough

Avalanche: Make me!

Rictor: All right compadre you asked for it.

Rictor raises his hand and puts them together. Than in a blink of an eye a he forms a concussive wave that instantly knocks out Avalanche. "Dazz watch out." Dazzler listens to Rictor and jumps aside as Toad rushes at her, and before he gets the chance to attack once again she hits him with a flash of lights the blinds him momentarily.

"We wont say it again, put your hands up"

Rictor: Hey have you been paying attention we are the good guys here we just saved your lives.

Than as the officers are about to shoot, the sky darkens and a fog begins to cover everything. "Hey where'd that come from" the officers question each other "musta been one o' them muties".

Rictor: Yes the cavalry has arrived.

Dazzler: Yes! (She looks up at the sky looking for a friendly form to appear) Storm, babe how have you been!

Storm: Alison, what is going on here?

Rictor: Well we are trying to find out as well.

Storm: Rictor, it is good to see you again.its been long.

Rictor: Yeah I guess it has huh? *blushes*

Bishop: What's going on?

Dazzler: Well, I think we should take this elsewhere. The cops were about to fire.

Sage: I agree with her Ororo we should head back out.

Storm: Very well, Bishop gather those two fools where taking them with us.

Thunderbird: What? Are you sure about that?

Rictor: Yes, this way we can get some answers outta them.

Bishop: All right than, Ric you wanna give me a hand here? Rictor: No prob Bishop.

Storm: All right everyone ready; hang on than you don't wanna be blown away.

Storm takes to the sky and a gust of air begins to pick up the rest of the team, as she gracefully flies through the sky the others flail behind her. Minutes later they arrive at the hotel room, which was left to Ororo by Destiny and the questioning begins.

Rictor: Where are the other X-Men?

Storm: Back at the mansion. We had to leave under certain circumstances.

Rictor: Oh sorry I didn't know.

Dazzler: Very well, now that we are on this.I was back in Mojoverse looking for Longshot.

Storm: Did you find him?

Dazzler flies into Storm's arms, "He's dead Ro, took me some time but I finally found him.I never thought it would end like that. He was a fighter how could he leave me like this"

Storm: I'm sorry Alison!

Dazzler: Its not your fault, either way I ran into Julio and Shatterstar there, seems Shatterstar was looking for someone as well, but I decided to come back and Ric decided to come back with me.

Storm: What where you doing in Mojoverse Rictor?

Rictor: Well a couple months ago me and Star where down in Arizona and we saw Kitty there, I was surprised to see her by herself I woulda thought she would be with Logan, but she wasn't. Than all of a sudden we were ambushed by Mystique and her circus freaks, me an Star were lucky enough to actually take them all out cept for Avalanche and Toad he kinda just rushed off during the fight. Than we saw them running through a portal, and I could have sworn that Spiral was behind it. Shadowcat had also vanished; I didn't see her anywhere. I thought that maybe Avalanche and Toad took her cuz they ran straight to where she was. So Star and me decided to follow them.

Jubilee: But I just saw Kitty a couple weeks ago, she couldn't have been napped by them if I saw her.

Sage: Are you sure it was her Jubilee, is there any possibility it could have been Mystique. I don't know something is just way off. There isn't enough to put this all together. Storm: Is there anything else either of you can remember Rictor, Dazzler?

Dazzler: Well I ran into both Rictor and Shatterstar after I also saw Toad and Avalanche, I decided to follow them as well, to see what they were up to. One night I noticed them also spying on them. They appeared to be making some kind of deal and I over heard one of them mention Mystique and the Mansion.

Storm: The mansion? What could the mansion have to do with anything.^That's what she meant about going back^ Bishop, gather the rest of the team were heading back to the mansion!

Sage: What's wrong Ororo?

Storm: Something is way off, but one of the Diaries said something about a journey back and the loss of a father, would bring the fire back!

Sage: They're going to kill the Professor!

Storm: Not if we can stop them.
