Destroyers 2002
Chapter 2
"Kes, what do you mean you need to go home?" Brooklyn asked.
The entire clan had gathered with that announcement.
"My father is sick and dying. I must return home so the clan can pick it's next leader. They also must decide if they want to stay in Scotland."
"But why not stay here and let Chekotay lead?" Fawks asked his mate.
"Even if I wasn't a candidate to be the next leader, I would still go home. He is my father." Kes said that and wrapped her wings around her body. No one seemed to understand, she had no other choice, without her there the clan would shatter and divide.
Finally Angela spoke, "I understand. Father, if you where sick would you want me by your side when you died?"
Everyone knew Angela had hit a soft spot.
"When will you be leaving?" Goliath asked.
"In two weeks."
Goliath nodded and Kes walked away from the group.
"Kes, what will you do it they select you to be the next leader?" Brooklyn asked, voicing the question that had been in everyone's head, and the one question Kes feared.

Scott walked threw the school with one 'mission'.
"Have you seen Jubilee?" he asked Bobby and Rouge.
"No why?" Rouge asked.
"I can't find her." He answered. Scott left Rouge and Bobby and went to see Xaiver.
He entered Xaiver's office, only to find Logan, Jean, and Storm already there.
"Jean senses something." Logan told him.
"And Jubilee is missing." Scott told them.
"Then we have two problems related to each other." Xaiver said, "Go to the Raven and see if you can find Jubilee."
They left and went to the plain, or at least attempted to.
"Rouge get out of the way." Logan told the girl.
"We're going with you." Gambit told them.
After a ten minute argument the elder members of the X-Men finally agreed to let them come. Gambit, Bobby, and Rouge took the back seats and the plane took off.
The plane flew over New York City as an enormous thunder began. Lightning hit the plain, forcing it into a fall. It fell to the side, Storm and Scott where able to slow its fall, and landed the plain on the top of one of the World Trade Centers.
As soon as the plain was down, Bobby ran to Rouge's side. She had passed out when the plain was hit. Jean noticed and came back to see if she could help.

"What's wrong Kes?" Fawks asked. He had walked up behind his mate while she had been looking threw a book. When he touched her arm she had jumped, turned, and her eyes had blazed red.
"I'm not sure." She said, then let herself be drawn into his arms.

Sabertooth, Mystic, and Toad loaded the unconscious Jubilee on a train. The three mutants climbed on board and shut the door. A few moments later the train started to move.
An hour later, as the train passed threw New York City, a thunderstorm started up. It rose in intensity until it shook the train. Suddenly a stray lightning bolt hit the train car, the mutants where and all of the occupants where knocked unconscious.

Owen watched his pupil as a large disturbance rocked threw the air. Alex looked panicked. Within two minutes all of the sorceress where in the room with him. It was Sita who said what they where dreading.
"It's just like the last time."
