To Survive

Chapter Three

Shock

Washington, D.C White House

Mr. Ugihasi and the president both rose from there hiding places under the table. They watched as the thing stumbled back a bit at the sheer force from the bullet. She removed her hand from her chest to revel a shock, the bullet fell from between her hand and chest. The thing looked up at the man who shot her, giving him a glare. The man trembled as he looked at where he shot her, right between her breasts, but not even a mark showed on her. All it showed was that it ripped through the cloth, but not a thing on her skin.

/How can this be? This is a 44 mag. And hollow point bullets./ (an- 44 mags are very strong, they usually knock almost anyone who fires it back a few feet on their butt and tears whoever it hits to shreds. If it hit's the arm, the persons arm is blown off, especially with a hollow point bullet. Okay, sorry, thought you should know.)

The president looked back to the man who shot the thing, his trusted security guard, who know just wet his pants. Then he looked back at the thing, who now was heading toward his security guard. She walked slowly on the table toward the man.

He looked at her with complete fear in his eyes. He fired two more bullets, but only got her more angry as she stumbled back just a bit. The man looked at his gun and through it down as he went for the door.

She crouched down like a panther getting ready to pounce. She leapt into the air at him and raised her claws to strike when a black void/wind tunnel came back into view.

Logan showed her the last part of the tour, her room. Logan stopped in front of the door and opened it to reveal a single bedroom.

"You're lucky, most have to share a dormitory." Logan said as he nodded in approval of the room.

He looked back at Monet to find her in a trance, not like the one before. She was staring at the ceiling, twisting her body like a child. She giggled and twirled and jumped in the spot where she stood. Logan cocked his head slightly with confusion immortalized on his face.

Monet looked at him in a funny way and giggled slightly. Logan saw something in her eyes, that same glazed look she had when she was in the first trance.

"You look funny." she said and giggled again as she tugged on his mutton chops. All Logan could do was stare at her as she gently tugged on him. She sighed and hugged him.

"You're nice and soft and warm." she said and closed her eyes as she clasped her arms around his waist and rested her head on his chest.

Logan looked bewildered and cast his eyes to the now almost asleep Monet. He shook his head and gently picked her up as she slightly snored. He placed her on her bed gently and watched as she groaned a little bit from the lack of a soft body and heat.

Logan then took her blankets and wrapped her up in it so she would stay warm. Monet sighed softly and went still as she went to a deep sleep.

Logan walked out of the room quietly, giving a last glance at her before closing the door. He leaned against the door once he was sure it was closed and wouldn't budge against his weight. /Strange kid/ he thought and moved to go to the lounge.

Washington, D.C. White house

The black void/wind tunnel opened up and the thing turned around to see her master. He looked remarkably similar to her. With the same long spike hair, only black and long black claws. The things that were different made him look more menacing. He had a breathing apparatus and a body suit that looked like it came from a Terminator movie. The master beckoned the thing back to him with his long clawed hands.

The thing quickly jumped in the void and all went still again. No evidence of what had happened except for three shells of the bullets that had been fired.

Logan walked into the room where most of the kids were. He looked around to hear Jubilee, Kitty, Bobby and St. John talking about the best movie ever.

"Lord of the Rings!" Bobby said.

"NOOO!!!! Terminator 1" St. John butted in.

"No, you idiots! It's Ghost Busters." Jubilee said, holding up a threatening finger at the two.

She was smacked in the head by Kitty, "No, Nimrod!!! It's Lady Hawke!!" Kitty sighed in frustration and went back to arguing with them.

Logan shook his head and looked at the others. Beast, Scott and Kurt were playing cards. Weird sight for anyone to see as all of the men were very kind. Beast came from a good home along with Scott and Kurt is very religious.

Logan kept looking around. His gaze finally settled on what he was looking for. Jean, Ororo and Rogue all sat on the couch as they watched T.V. chatting mindlessly about whatever. Logan smiled and went to the couch. Rogue looked up to see him and scooted over enough comfortably to Ororo, giving him space to sit.

"I guess we could let a guy in on our all-girl society." Rogue said to him as he sat down next to her.

Logan gave a chuckled and watched the T.V. as he realized Rogue was the only one watching the T.V. as Tom was chasing Jerry around the house.

Logan was about to comment as Rogue giggled when Jerry did something evil when the professor came wheeling in.

Silence echoed throughout the room as everyone turned around to see his worried expression. He looked at Rogue, "Turn to the news please." he said as if he just came from a mile run.

Rogue obeyed and switched it to the channel. Everyone leaned over the couch as they all watched in horror and shock.

Newscaster-

"Today was a horrific day as a mutant attempted to take the president's life. Here's a clip showing the previous conference."

Clip-

All watched as the president was surrounded with men in black suits, along with the prime minister of Japan. People were shouting, newscasters asking what had happened and the guards trying to shove the people out of the way.

The next shot was of a man, saying crazy things. "It was horrible"… "She was awful…Couldn't stop her!"… "Black! Nothing but black!"….

The clip ended and the newscaster came back on. No one paid attention as Rogue muted the T.V. and turned to the professor.

"What's happening?" she asked him.

"I honestly don't know Rogue." he said quietly as they kept re-running the clip over and over again.
