Disclaimer: "But somebody got kicked ouuuuut".
Thanks my lovely reviewers, you guys are great :D Good to see that some of you don't know about the Black womb. I changed it slightly, but the comics (from what i gather) didn't say much about it anyway, so i can be pretty flexible with it. I'm glad that i can suprrise a few people :D OKay, i was going to put up another round of my musical today, but for some reason, my brain has stopped working properly. So i have put this chap up early instead, you lucky, lucky people.
Oh just to point out Ebony, Agatha's cat was in the comics, apparently. I read up on Agatha and found out about the kitty. Yeah, okay.
Chapter 3 - The hunt begins.
At the Xavier institute for gifted youngsters, everything seemed unusually quiet. SPOOKILY quiet. Logan walked into the common room and sniffed the air. He'd been pacing the building for some time now, trying to find out where the kids had gone. They were no where to be seen, or heard, or smelt. He gave a low growl and walked on, something was up, and HE wasn't in on it. He walked into the kitchen and flick on the light, to be greeted by a lound chorus of 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY!'. He gave a shout of surprise and popped out his claws, a natural reaction.
"Happy birthday Mr Logan!", said Kitty giving him a hug.
"Huh?", was all that Logan could manage.
"We know that ya'll don't know when you're birthday is", explained Rogue, "so we decided ta throw ya'll one today. We've been planin' it for weeks".
"Oh", said Logan blinking, "thank you....i think".
"Ja", said Kurt, 'porting next to Logan, "ve have cake and presents and music and..did i mention cake?".
"Always thinking of your stomach", muttered Jean.
"Hey", said Kurt, "a guy has to....".
He was cut off by a beeping coming from the Cerebro room. Xavier sighed and wheeled off towards it.
"I won't be long", he said, "you can start without me".
Logan watched Xvaier go, wondering what mutant sig Cerebro had picked up. His thoughts were interupted by a box being put in his hands. He looked over to see Rogue.
"Happy Birthday", she said with a small smile.
"Thanks", said Logan, blinking.
He opened the gift to find a brand new motorcycle helmet.
"A'h remember ya'll saying ya needed a new one", said Rogue.
"Wow, thanks Stripes", said Logan with a grin, "it's great".
Many present openings later, Logan found himself facing a dilema. Kitty had joyfully placed a plate full of her muffins on the table in front of him. He knew he couldn't decline them but, even with his healing ability, he wasn't sure he could stomach eating one. Not without having to spend the rest of the week in the infirmary anyway. Luckily, he was saved by Xavier rolling in.
"Students, Cerebro has picked up a new mutnat signature", he said, putting his hands together, "she's right here in Bavyille".
"That's a stroke of luck", said Kitty, not seeing Logan quietly drop a tablecloth over the muffins, "do you want us to, like, try and recruit her?".
Xavier shook his head.
"No", he said, "the mental reading i have gotten from the girl suggest she is a very dangerous individual. I can't get a complete reading from her because she is..blocking my telepathy somehow. From what i can get, she here looking for something".
"So you want us to just..leave her alone?", asked Scott.
"Unless something worse comes up, yes", said Xavier with a sigh, "she is extremely powerful, i don't want to risk a confrontaion".
Wanda sat down arkwardly at the old table in a back room of Agatha's shop. Ebony, Agatha's black feline familiar walked up to her and mewed. Wanda sighed and patted the cat on the head. Ebony purred happily and curled up on a chair next to her owner. The old woman sat across from Wanda and smiled.
"How can i help you dear?", she asked, idly shuffling a pack of Tarrot cards.
"I..i've been having weird dreams", said Wanda, "like..like bits of my past have been cloaked with happier things. But i don't know how or why...it's really strange and it's starting to freak me out. I mean, i couldn't even remember you until a few days ago. I know you helped me with something and i trusted you...but i don't know what you helped me with...".
Agatha blinked and flicked a card over.
"You have been decived", she said, narrowing her eyes.
"Who by?", asked Wanda.
Agatha sighed and flicked another card over.
"It's not for me to say", she said simply, "you need to ask someone else".
"Why can't i ask you?", asked Wanda, looking pleadingly at Agatha, "please, i need to know!".
"You will my child, you will", said Agatha, motioning Wanda to calm down, she flicked another card and smiled.
"What does it say?", asked Wanda, standing up and lookng over at the card.
"You must ask one of the people that cares about you the most", said Agatha, putting her cards away.
"Who?", asked Wanda, narrowing her eyes, "don't put them away!, i need to know who to ask".
"That is obvious", said Agatha with a sigh, "you must ask the young man who has been chasing after your heart for the past few months".
"Toad?!", said Wanda, making a face, "you have GOT to be kiding me!".
"I don't kid", said Agatha, "he is the one person who cares about you enough to tell you all you need to know. He can and HAS put his life on the line for you, trust me, if you ask him, he will speak".
"How do you know he cares about me so much?", said Wanda, crossing her arms and sulking, "i mean, you didn't even say one word to him while you were living in the Brotherhood place. And you haven't used any magic to tell me that he does!".
"There are some things that you don't NEED magic to see", said Agatha with a small smile.
Wanda sighed as she walked out of Agatha's shop, the old witches' words running in her head. She had been decived?. And Todd knew about it?. She frowned, well she would her answers, even if she had to hex-bolt them out of him him. She didn't notice a pair of eyes following her. Neither did she hear a hiss as the owner of the eyes slowly followed her.
Oooooooh you like?. I really hope you do :D. Please review. Until next time...
