What had happened was that the New Recruits were half asleep, having been woken by the earlier disturbance, when simultaneously in their minds, a voice yelled, waking them all up.

* Calling New Recruits! Back up needed! Report to Iceman, in hall. Repeat report to Iceman, in hall. * They all moved and soon were grabbing bits of clothing.

Bobby was as surprised as the rest, but he moved faster. He was sliding down the stairs on an ice ramp, when Rac contacted him again.

* Bobby, the X-men are down. *

* All of them? *

* Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops, Jean, Rogue, Nightcrawler, Shadowcat and Spyke. *

* Tell the professor. *

* Can't. *

* Why not? *

* Magneto wants him. *

* You want us to attack Magneto? *

* No, I've dealt with him! You just have to take out the Brotherhood. *

* Why can't the X-men do anything? *

* They're wearing bracelet-thingies that stop their powers. *

* And you? *

* They just limit mine. Come in from the back. I'll cover you. *

* How are we meant to find you? *

* Jamie'll know. *

* Should we wear our gear? *

* New gear, Jamie. * her voice trailed off.

* Hang on, Illusion! *

* Not Illusion,

Deceive has deceived,

And Illusion is dead.

The Creator was created,

To stand in her stead! * Rac said firmly.

*Hang on, Creator! We're coming! *

*(*(*

Jamie was slowly making his way to the hall. Believing that the others wouldn't allow him to come.

* Jamie? *

* Yeah? *

* You're going too. *

* Great! *

* Go to my room; get my science project, and the big box. Take them to the others. *

* Got you! *

* See you! *

* Right! Hang on! *

* Will do! *
