Tara stares for a moment at the place where he'd once stood then runs to the window
Takira was still excatly the same crying quietly into her arms. "Landon?"Tara yells
looking down at the ground. Small slivers glittered on the floor, ground below, and also
along the jagged window ledge. "Landon! Are you ok?!?"she yells again as the siren
grow louder,We gotta get back. "Takira, will you come with me? Landon'll come too
eventually." She moves and crouches before her pulling her arms away from her face.
"But what if she hurts him?"thel ittle girl asks getting up and wiping at her eyes. Tara
sighs and takes her hand,"We can't do anything for him right now, Takira." She nods,
"There's a back way out of here away from the noise." Tara nods and follows her down
a hall and outside just as the police begin to enter the building. Landon you'd better
come back, she silently commands him walking toward the brotherhoood with Takira,
I'm giving you some time, then I'm going after you.....
Landon heard the voices before he became fully awake. "We couldn't have saved the
girl, Professor,"a woman says as something presses against his stomache. He
groans feeling the pain and turns slightly away. "It's ok.....no one's going to hurt you,"the
same woman says placing something that felt like a hand to his forehead. He slowly
opens his eyes feeling as if they were covered by giant bags of sand. His first sight
was a guy with some type of red sunglass things on. "Jean, he's awake...." Landon
saw the woman for the first time as she came around to check his eyes. She gives
him a half smiles, then shines a light into his eyes. "Are you feeling better,
Landon?"the woman, obviously Jean, asks moving to stand in front of him. He had to
admit she was pretty with dark red hair and he wasn't sure about her eye color but
knew it must be pretty. He remains silent guessing the other guy with the shades is
Landon. He groans again as her hand touches parts of his chest, stomache, and face
that cause pain. "Look kid, you're Landon....now do you feel better?"the guy asks
earning a reproaching look. "Scott, go find Xavier." Scott, the guy with the shades
walks out and vanishes from his sight. Landon?he wonders about the name but sits
up realizing that he was naked from the waist up. "Landon, we need you to come tell
us who this girl is that you were fighting,"she instructs helping him up as he notices the
burn marks on his stomache and chest. He felt a wave of fear as she removes a white
sheet from something laying on a table nearby. Please don't let it be Tara, he prays
staring at the bloody, bruised body and turned away with a wave of sickness. "I'm
sorry; do you recognize her?"Jean asks fixing the sheet back over the body as he leans
against the counter. He starts to speak, but only shakes his head. Who's this Tara
that I keep thinking of? "You don't know her?" He shakes his head again. "What do
you know?"she asks as a man in a wheelchair slowly comes into the room. "Uh...just
that my parents were killed in a fire when I was a child." "He tells the truth Jean...he
remembers nothing and we can't force them back into his mind,"the new man tells
her wheeling his chair over to him. "Who are you and why do you want to help me?
Being what I am?"Landon asks moving one of his arms and feeling a sharp pain shoot
through his body. "We're mutan, too, Landon...get on a shirt and I'll give you a tour of
Xavier's Institute for Gifted Youngsters,"the man says now the only one in the room
since Jean and Scott left. He finds a long-sleeved gray shirt laying on the table and
quickly pulls it over his head groaning slightly as it touches his burned stomache and
chest. "Landon, I will now introduce myself.....My name is Charlest Xavier and you are
at my school for children with abilities..."
Takira was still excatly the same crying quietly into her arms. "Landon?"Tara yells
looking down at the ground. Small slivers glittered on the floor, ground below, and also
along the jagged window ledge. "Landon! Are you ok?!?"she yells again as the siren
