Never felt so low
Chapter ten-The age of the FOH
By The Opal Jade
The morning was cold. It was raining. I was cold in the little skirt that I was wearing laying on Jonathans hole in the chest.
Kitty was bleading still. Remys coat covered her.
Rogue was asleep. Her face was red. And her eyes wet.
Bobby was still unconcious. But slowly he showed us sighns that he might wake up soon.
I discovered how Jonathan held his hand over mine during the night.
Jubilee was dreaming of some guy named Justin Timberlake.
We all woke up.
Nobody seemed to notice it but our litle red riding hood was missing. John. Where in the hell is he?
-Did anyone notice that John is not here?
Everybody s eyes widen.
-Oh my god! I got so caught up with Bobby an..an…where is he?
-Who is missing.
-John. De idiot. He always gets himself in trouble.
Suddenly a big harsh voice thunders trough the cave.
-Hey all you rookies! What cha been doing the whole night long?
Those of us who could get up got up. Wolwie glared at me and Chamber, Bobby and Rogue….
-What cha been doing to the poor kid.
-I had to drain him.
She almost cries.
-I had to. Didn t have a choice. The robot was so strong.
-Is that what happened to you?
-Yes.
-A sentinel?
-No. A smaller one but deadly. I saw robots like that back in England. But these ones are worked up to perfection. It is built of adamantium. It has blades that even Kitty could not avoid and lasers that almost got us.
-And you re tellin me that people, ordinary people got those in their homes?
-Yes.
Emma and Jean came runing inside.
-We have a problem houston. The rookies say that…
-Yes we know.
-Okay.
-John is missing.
-What you say Jubs?
-John is missing.
-We have trouble in locating him.
-The two of you?
-Yes, the two of us.
-Alright then. You two take everybody that s been hurt or in bad shape. Call Blink to get here. Me, her, Chamber, Craft and Gambit ar gonna find em.
-Is this okay with the rest of you?
-Yes.
-But why can t I go?!?
-Jubilee, you already are the one who got us into this mess.
We can not afford to take care of you.
-I m not a child!
A nuder one of her episodes. Yey.
After a couple of minutes we split off in teams. Wolwerine was with Gambit. Blink with Chamber. And I was kinda alone. They were so sure that I can take care of myself.
I found a piece of that things armor from last night. And I was right. Adamantium.
What kind of a monster could create a creture like this?
Slayer 2000. That was written on the cold steel. Slayer 2000.
Chamber told me how they found Johns body. Still alive. Gambit and Blink are taking him back. I joined Chamber and Wolwie.
-Why are we still here?
-You rookies ar gon tell me what house that was.
-With the robot?
-Yes.
-What are we gonna do?
-We re gonna take a little souvenir to profesor X. I think he ll want to take a look.
-What if they got it fixed?
-Then you two move out of the way till I handle em up. Kay?
-Okay. It was that way.
It took as a faint hour to come to the spot where Chamber knocked those trees down. We were tired and could not walk as fast as Wolwerine.
We came up to the house. Wolwerine showed us to the bushes while he went to ring the door bell.
He lied the lady that the police sent him to pick up the robot so that they can fix him. The lady asked are they gonna charge them like the last time.
Officer Logan politley answered no.
So. The police is on this too. Great. Now the school really seems to be our last and only refuge.
It was good to lay in bed. Sleeping while the others were checking out the robot down in the labs. We were told that the FOH (Friends Of Humanity) were behind this.
We are now forbiden to go outside of the premises unless in large groups but then only when we reached the satisfying level of expertise in fighting and controling our powers.
I can understand that.
Later today we are all gonna help in adjusting the cameras in the manor and outside of it. We got new computers today. To help with the tons of information that we are taking care of.
Some builders came with building material. From tomorow on we are gonna build a new wing to the manor. Dorm rooms. And a expanded cafeteria.
We presume that a lot of people will seek protection after this gets out in public.
Storm is flying over the city every single night to see if there is something strange going on.
Jean and the profesor are monitoring the whole world trough cerebro.
Emma is moving the students from her own school to here.
We will have to train more often. Not a problem to me. I am looking forward to it.
At night we are divided in groups. There are five groups patroling in one night. Blink is there to check up on us. Only the real strong ones are doing this.
I am in the group with Domino, Gambit, Chamber, Caliban and Meltdown.
It is our turn to patrol tomorow. Until then we will train in the danger room. Today FOH has asked people to join them. They have ten thousand of new members.
And they are planing something big.
