Hank quickly got Remy back into healing order. Someone had cut off his life support… but thankfully, Hank wasn't gone for too long. Remy opened his eyes… slowly. "D… Doc…?"
Hank looked at him and smiled. "Remy… you have one heck of a will to stay up… but I'm serious here. Stay alive… so get some rest!"
Remy looked at the ceiling. "Damn… … I can't… I can't lower my defenses."
Soon, he saw Rogue looking down on him. It was Saturday. He smiled. "Hey."
She smiled back. "We found the last mutant."
He laughed a little. "Sweet." It was nice to hear…
"Remy… we're going to wait for you to get better… … we can't exactly leave with only six of the seven can we? … Besides… the Professor wants me to catch up on what I missed."
He tried to sit up… but it was impossible. He moved his head to look at her. "Oh yeah… school."
"I got what you missed too… its there in the corner."
He looked. Crap. A pile of work. He sighed. "T'anks, I guess." She laughed. "Let's hope you're not a slacker." She stood up and began walking. "Chere." She looked back. "Mm?"
"I… I missed you."
She laughed. "Now, c'mon. It's only been a day."
"Seemed like years…"
She stopped. "Yeah… well I guess that's what happens when you get attacked by Emma."
He laughed a little. "You miss me?"
She looked at him. "Well… it WAS a whole lot quieter without you around… I was kinda looking forward to see you in school. I'd laugh."
"You'd laugh?"
"Yeah… I mean… YOU? In SCHOOL?"
"Ha ha, you crack me up Chere." He closed his eyes. Hank laughed. "Please leave Rogue. Remy will never rest if you're around."

Shard looked at her comrades. They weren't the best group she wanted to be with… but Trevor made it worth while. She didn't really know why she was attracted to him, but they were finally together. That was all that truly mattered. He left her alone in her room, in order for him to talk to his new recruits. Shard sat there and brushed her chin length blond hair.
Trevor's yellow skinned right hand man walked towards her. "Shard, are you sure this is where you want to be?" He stood by the doorway. She closed her eyes and sighed. "Bantam, right?"
He nodded.
She looked at him. "You see… I don't care… as long as I'm with him… I'm truly happy. This is exactly where I want to be."
He blinked. "You're a little young and naïve, yes? You can day dream all you like, but I'm warning you, this is no place for a young girl."
She scoffed. "And you're any different? Ban-"
"Bantam, come here… quick."
The yellow-skinned man sighed. "Duty calls. I hope you know what trouble you're getting yourself into, Shard." He walked off and closed the door. She smiled as she looked at the mirror. She missed her brother… but she knew that he'd be happy if SHE was… right?

"Where we find Emma?"
Xavier rested his hand on Vincent's head. "In your mind… now relax while I search your memories…"
Vincent closed his eyes and relaxed… the Professor was astonished. Nothing. Nothing whatsoever. He released his hand from Vincent's head. "Vincent… there is absolutely nothing in there… No memories of your past even."
He blinked. "Maybe you're not trying hard enough?"
Xavier sighed. "Jean, Betsy… I want you two to come here."
They did and stood beside the Professor. "What is it?" Jean asked. "Help me tap into Vincent's mind."
All three rested one hand atop Vincent's head… … nothing but memories of the past trips came. Nothing about Emma. Nothing about him fighting Remy or Rogue. Xavier released his hand. "Girls, you may leave." Betsy stood firm. "I want to know what's going on." Jean nodded. "Me too."
Vincent looked at the three in question. "What? What happened?"
Xavier looked out the window. "Vincent… has nothing in his mind at all. All thoughts have been hidden and shaded… impossible to breach… but I know that there are memories inside him…"
Vincent smiled. "I know. Thinking is forbidden and-"
"Not here." Jean said and sat down. "Vincent, we don't take away from you what you can freely do. You're your own person… Emma must be a cold- hearted woman to lead you this way… not to think for yourself."
He blinked. "You… You're confusing me, Lady Jean."
She sighed. "Look, you have your own features and I bet your own strengths… maybe you should go out and learn more about life."
"Life is just a game."
She scoffed. "Now, now. Go explore, and we'll see."
He looked blankly at her. She rolled her eyes. "Just… never mind."

Trevor looked at Bantam. "Locate this one to the White Queen."
Bantam looked at Trevor. "Chronomancer… are you sure? I mean, we haven't gotten all the mutants, and-"
"Don't question me. We don't have the mutants… no… but we can still retaliate while she's preparing for her future visitors." He gave his comrade an angry glare. "Now… locate it."
Bantam sighed and nodded; he grabbed one of the new recruits. "White Queen, coming up." He threw the man into the portal Trevor had made and the portal soon became secure. Bantam looked at the ground. Another man dead. The portal was blood stained, as it always has been. Trevor smiled. "Lovely." He looked back. "Now… who shall come?"
Bantam looked at the witnesses. "Them. Shard is still in her room. I'll leave a few to watch over her."
Trevor smiled. "Good, everything's settled. Let's go."
They walked through the portal to a room of blackness. No light, no sound. Trevor looked at his new companions. "If you are loyal, stay with me… the White Queen can't be too far. When we see her, I want a full on attack."
One of the men felt frightened. "Chronomancer… I… uh… how will we know when we see her?"
Trevor scoffed. "Oh… you'll know." He stopped. The minions obediently stopped with him. Bantam growled. "Do you even know where we're going?!"
He glared at his teammate. "Bantam, trust me. How is it that you start doubting me NOW?"
*"Chronomancer… I see you've come. Why so soon?"*
He smirked. "What do you think?"
*" Ah… seemed smart at first. Let's just see if you can catch me."*
"Yeah," He cracked his knuckles. "Let's see."
