DISCLAIMER: SEE THE LAST BL*********DY CHAPTER!
***
The New Recruits walked out of the warehouse, battered and slightly bruised, but still in one piece. Their worst casualty was Henry, she'd twisted her ankle, when she ran to Rac's call. The X-men followed them, staggering, supporting each other. Jean and Ororo were supporting Logan, Scott by Evans and Kurt, Rouge and Kitty were supporting each other.
"One thing, how did you get here?" Scott asked
"Yeah, we took the jeep."
"And there's no where to land the jet."
"Well." Bobby started.
Scott had a sudden sense of foreboding; he untangled himself from Evans and Kurt, and walked round to the other side of the jeep. Where he stopped and stared. His mouth fell open, and he started to splutter.
"W.w.w.what?" the other X-men came round. Kitty, Kurt, Evans and Rouge started to laugh. Jean put a hand over her mouth and shook with silent laughter. Ororo shook her head, smiling. Logan just grinned.
There in front of them, its white strip gleaming in the middle of the red was Scott's car. The New Recruits bunched together, defiantly believing that there was safety in numbers.
"Well, how else were we meant to come?"
"Logan's bike?"
"We'd be killed."
"And we wouldn't fit."
"Who drove?"
"Bobby."
"What?" Scott yelled
"He's had. practise."
"Remember?"
"I'll never forget!"
"How did you fit?"
"It's only meant for 5."
"And there's 9 of you."
"Well, Bobby and Jamie, up front."
"The boys in the back."
"Rahne under their feet, as a dog."
"The rest of us on the back."
"How did you get in? I always lock it. At least since the last time."
"Scott, it's not got a roof."
"We just hopped in."
"O.k. But how did you start it?"
"My guess would be Jamie." Rac put in.
"You're right."
"How did you start it? And how did you know?" Scott glared at each person concerned.
"Simple, I hotwired it."
"And I taught him how, along with Bobby. But Bobby's not very good."
"You?"
"Yeah. My adoptive dad liked cars, and so do I. He taught me everything he knew. Including how to hotwire a car."
"What?!" Scott yelled. Kitty, Evans and Rogue simultaneously grabbed Kurt.
"We don't want to be here!" Kitty yelled. Kurt apparently agreed, because he 'ported immediately.
Scott was going redder and redder, with anger, huffing and puffing. The New Recruits squeezed together, paling at the sight of a furious Scott. Jean carefully laid a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't tell them off. They did rescue us. The prof can tell them off."
"Alright. But I'm driving my car. They're to go in the jeep."
"I'll join you in the car."
"And I'll drive the jeep." Ororo said. "Logan needs to recover."
"Right! Meet you back at the mansion." Scott said, jumping into his car and driving off.
The New Recruits got into the back of the X-jeep, as Logan and Ororo got in the front. Then they drove away.
In the back the New Recruits discussed the mission. Henry rummaged in her pocket, in the clothes she'd discarded when pulling on her gear.
"Rac?"
"Yeah?"
"We found this in the bin. You were worried?" Henry handed her the taped drawing of 'The Watcher'. "You always draw it, when you're worried."
"Yeah. I was. But I know who it is now."
"Who?"
"Magneto."
"So, if Hank had looked at it, before the X-men left, they would have known about him."
"Yes."
"Why didn't he?" "I don't know." Rac lied, knowing that all the New Recruits were still considered 'newbies' by the X-men, her especially, as she was the youngest.
