The others soon joined Bobby, in the hall, wearing an array of clothes. Mainly the first thing they had found.
"What's up?"
"The X-men are down. We're the backup."
"Who are we fighting?"
"The Brotherhood."
"But."
"Magneto is there, too."
"We've got to fight him?"
"You're crazy!"
"The prof can cope, not us!"
"Look, Rac's dealt with him. And anyway he wants the prof. All we have to do is leave Magneto alone."
"What do we have to do?"
"Get the X-men out!"
"Why can't they break out?"
"Yeah?"
"They're wearing these bracelet-thingies. They stop powers working."
"How are we meant to get them out?"
"Simple! Rahne, what's your strongest form?"
"Werewolf."
"How much can you carry like that?"
"A small person. I see!"
"Roberto, could you carry someone too?"
"If they're light. The sun's only just up. I get ya!"
"Thought you would. Can anyone else carry people?"
"Nope!"
"No!"
"Can't!"
"Naw!"
"Forget it!"
"Well, I'll just have to reduce the friction!" Bobby said, holding up a clenched fist.
"Good plan!"
"Won't they notice us?"
"Rac'll cover."
"Isn't she wearing those bracelet-thingies too?"
"Yeah, but they only seem to limit her powers."
"But how are we going to remove them?"
"Sam, Ray?"
"I can!"
"Same here."
"But how are we meant to find 'em?"
^ BANG ^
6 Jamies picked themselves up from the floor, and then together they picked up the now empty box, retrieved its scattered contents from the floor, and stuffed them back in the box. Then they became one. The reason for his fall was clear; he'd slipped on Bobby's ice slide, and bumped himself.
"You stay here! It's where you belong!"
"No, I won't stay here!"
"We need him." Bobby said.
"Why?"
"He's the only 1, who can direct us to where they are."
"How?"
"Rac's science project!"
"What!"
"Don't worry! I can cope!"
"O.k. But what's he going to do when we get there?"
"And what if Rac gets tired?"
"Give me a tick! I've got it!"
"What?"
"Jubilee, if the illusion drops, you distract them."
"But.!"
"What if.?"
"Jamie, will protect you."
"How?"
"Rac's been persuading Logan to train him. And anyway it's only a prevention technique."
"Right!"
"Should we grab our gear?"
"No need!" Jamie piped up.
"Whey not?"
"Here! Take a look!" he said, kicking the box towards them. Amara tore it open, and spilled the contents onto the floor.
"It's the new gear!"
"Illusion managed it!"
"Don't put it on now! We'll change when we get there. And Rac's calling herself Creator now."
"Why?"
"Dunno."
"How do we get there?"
"We'll take the X-jeep."
"To the garage!" Roberto yelled, leading the charge.
