Rac and Henry sat on their beds, reading. Rac's tapestry was sewing itself, as normal. Outside they heard the constant noise fade, out of existence. Rac's sharp ears heard the planes take off.

"Right! Let's change!"

"They've gone?"

"Yes!"

"What about the others?"

"Once we've changed we'll tell them."

"OK!"

Rac and Henry changed. Henry's costume was her old one, which Rac had made. Rac's was new; she'd been working on it for a while. It consisted of a full black leotard, with sage-green, tight, ankle high boots, and long, close-fitting black gloves. There was only a few coloured parts, a red outline of 2 sides of a triangle, the top 2 lines, the second coloured part was a brown line, coming down from where the 2 red lines met. Rac's costume also had the X-men shoulder pads, and an x-men belt, which pulled everything in, at her waist.

Once they were both changed, Rac ran down the stairs, while Henry entered the security system.

"What's going on?" Bobby asked, when Henry brought him to Rac, as she stood in the front hall.

"We're going to fight!" Henry said.

"Count me in!" Bobby created a flurry of snow in celebration

"I already did. Go get changed." Rac smiled. "Do you know where the others are?"

"Sure, they're out by the front gate, trying to find a way that they can get out of here with out breaking their honour." Bobby ran up the stairs

"I've found it. Henry, go get the others. They'll need to change, too."

"Will do!" Henry slipped back into the security network.

All the New Recruits changed into their gear.

"Where we going?"

"To fight Apocalypse."

"How?"

"The F4 are taking us."

"What?"

"The Fantastic Four. Come on! I said we'd meet them in the woods."

"Let's go!" Bobby was ecstatic

They slipped over the wall, and into the woods.

"Where do we have to go?"

"The clearing."

"Alright!"

"Race you there!" Rhaine started running and changing, and was overtaken by Roberto and Sam. Soon all the New Recruits were running as fast as they could. Rac and Henry were trailing behind.

Suddenly Rac dived, driving Henry into some bushes. Rac placed her hand firmly over Henry's mouth, as a mob rushed past them. Rac released Henry, once they had passed.

"Who were they?"

"Mutant hunters."

"How could you tell?"

"The pitchforks, scythes and flaming torches. Classic freak hunter equipment, for a mob."

"Where did they get them?"

"I don't know. But the tradition is too hard to break."

"What do we do?"

"Save the others. They'll need our help."

"Right. Which way?"

"Follow me."
