John ran as fast as his legs would carry him. He was in disbelief, why was he running? He looked behind him, he saw
the men chasing after him and the amount of people there. That was why.
"Jean. That's John." Scott said. He saw him running like a maniac.
"What's he running from?" Jean asked. Then they saw the two men. Jean read their minds, normally she wouldn't have
, but this was an emergecy. John could be very dangerous when he needed to be.
"Scott! They want to kill him!" Jean said. They looked at each other. He was headed for the outside.They nodded.They
ran after him. John was running out of breath. He hit some trees in the park and kept running. He finally stopped he had
to. He pulled out his lighter. He would do something if he needed to. It was defense. The men approached him. He wat
ched in amazement. One minute one of them was approaching him with a kinfe, the next he was ten feet in the air. He
was swung around until he landed in the lake outside tha mall. The next one ran at him. He fell down. John looked up.
Jean Grey and Scott Summers were running over to him, he had just seen Scott put his glasses back on.
"John, you okay?" he asked.
"Yeah. I'm fine." "Thank you. You saved my life."
"What are we here for?" Jean asked hugging him. "Don't ever scare me like that again. Okay?"
"Yes mam." he said. Then he got a panicked look on his face.
"Bobby and Marie!" Logan and Bobby came running up.
"Bobby! Thank God man. I was worried there."
"You weren't the only one." Bobby and him shook each other's hand their arms arched.
"Hey man, this is the last time we let your girlfriend save somebody's life." John said. "And I think I am swearing off all
mall trips for a week." Bobby looked around.
"Where's Marie?" he asked.
"I thought she was with you." John said worried.
"Wait, we split up." they heard a scream from behind the building. The two boys said it at the same time.
"Marie!" they ran in that direction. The adults followed. Logan running like mad.
Storm walked around still shouting.
"Marie! Bobbie! John!" she leaned against a wall. She sighed, she looked to the sky.
"If anyone's listening, please keep them safe." she said.
"You are Oraura?" a voice said. She turned, a boy was next to her, he wore a cloak covering his body. He did not hide
his three blue fingers.
"Yes." she said.
"I am Kurt. I know where you can find Marie. I will take you to her, please trust me, she is in danger. I don't want anythin
g to happen to her." she looked at him.
"Take me to her." she said.
"Take my hand, and trust me." Orauro did so, she did not hesitate. One moment they were against a wall,the next they
were in an alleyway. He pointed, and spoke again. His accent was German.
"She is down that way, the man is trying to hurt her, I can not get near him." "Hurry."
"Thank you. Stay here." "I'll be back." she ran down.
"Get away from me!" she heard Marie scream. She heard a kick. She ran even faster. She turned the corner. The man
was headed towards Marie. He had a gun, and Marie had no defense. Storm called upon a wind. The man was blown
into a garbage dumpster.
"Just the place for garbage." she said. Marie ran to her.
"It's alright sweetheart." Orauro hugged her. "Come on, let's go." they walked out of the alleyway. Kurt was waiting.
"Kurt!" Marie ran to him. "Did you bring Orauro here?"
"Yes I did. I owed you." "Take care now."
"Wait, your a mutant like us, coem with us to the school. It's a safe haven. The professor will be glad to have you."
"I'm sure he would. But I can not, I have to go." "Take care of yourself." "And Orauro, continue to pray. You should pray
too Marie." "Goddbye." he dissappeared in a black cloud, and the smell of burning brimstone hung in the air.
"Do you know him?" Storm asked.
"Yes. I saved his life, he nearly got shot by one of the men." "That is why they were after us. Bobby and John!" they ran
out and found Bobby and John running. Bobby ran and gave Marie a huge hug. John joined in on it.
"Never do that to me again!" Bobby said. "I thought you were donefore."
"Oh, and you two were having easy goings. She had tears coming down her face. She wiped them away." "Come on,
let's get out of here." they all nodded. "Is it okay if we go home?" Marie asked.
"Oh, that is where you are goign alright young lady." Logan came forward. he hugged her.
"What happened? I heard you scream."
"I think everyone did." Scott said. Marie went crimson.
"I was trying to save someoen's life. Kurt! Bobby he was here. That's how Orauro knew where I was."
"What!" Bobby and John said at the same time.
"Well where is he?" John asked.
"He . . . left." Marie said. "He went poof basically. I think we discovered his power."
"Me too." "Come on, I want to go home, and go to sleep." "And Iceman and you could use it." "Let's go."they all got into
the van. Bobby, Marie, John, and Jean and Scott all fell asleep. Logan and Orauro were awake.
"You were really scared weren't you?" she asked him.
"As scared as Iv'e ever been." Logan said. He looked in the mirror at Rogue.
"You know, she's growing up, but she still needs protection."
"They were grown men. She is a teenage girl, who is scared to use her power."
Michael watched the boys hug her. The girl, the mutant. He'd kill her,that white haired witch may have gotten Mi
tch, but she wouldn't get him. He aimed the gun, no one saw him. Suddenly he was knicked into a wall.He didn't know
who did it, but he totally blacked out when it happened. He saw blue though before he faded though,he figured it must
have been the one they were trying to kill before. He faded.
Marie awoke in her bed to someone looking over her. It was a girl. She sat up.
"Kitty?" Kitty looked at her.
"Your'e okay!" "Oh Rogue I was so worried! They told us what happened, the professor is having fits! He got so upset
he was screaming." "I was supposed to come and get you, but I couldn't wake you up." "Are you alright?""Do you need
anything?" Rogue laughed.
"I'm fine sugar. You want to help, tell me what the professor wants."
"Oh, he wants to talk to you. Come on." she grabbed her and dragged her. They talked all the way.
"Bye Rogue."
"Bye Kitty Cat." Kitty laughed. She had loved the petname that Rogue had been calling her. She turned around.
"Kitty Cat?" Scott asked.
"Yeah, she likes it." "Said it reminds her of her cat at home."
"Right." "Well, uh professor she's here." the professor came in.
"Good. You are awake. Will you tell me what in the bloody blue blazes happened?I have heard the same story from Bo
bby and John, but there are some parts that they can't fill in. If you would be so kind."Rogue told him everything she kn
ew.
"I see. And may I ask, what have you the idea to scream?"
"He was in danger. The one thing that always gets everyone's attention is a girl's scream. So I thought it would work."
"Well it worked. I think Timbuktu got some reception as well. And we have Eurasia on the phone."Jean said with a smil
e. Marie laughed a little.
"I'm just glad I don't have to see them again." she said. Scott got an uneasy look as did Logan. Jean was looking at the
two with Storm and had looks on their faces that said 'I told you so' and 'Well are you going to tell her' Marie looked fro
m the two women to the guys.
"Something I should know about?" she asked. But at that moment two people entered the room.
"You wanted to see us Professor?" Bobby asked.
"Yes. Have a seat. Bobby, Marie, John, Scott and Logan have approached me with something,that I am afraid I can no
t argue with." Professor X said.
"What?" Marie asked.
"As you know," Jean said," the men who you caught were arrested."
"Yeah." Bobby said. A knot forming in his stomach, he had a feeling he knew what was coming next.
"Wer'e going to press charges." Scott said. Marie, Bobby, and John looked at each other.All had worry writeen on their
faces.
"Professor, won't that expose who we are?" Bobby asked.
"Well, not really. You see, you gave no proof to really being mutants, did you?" he asked. He searched their minds.
"And what Rogue said can hardly be made to mean that you are mutants. You are,but you really could have meant any
thing."
"But we ran?" Rogue said.
"He pulled a knife on us." Bobby said. "I think that could count as a reason to run. And there is no reason for them to re
ally believe we are mutants."
"The fact that we helped one." John said. "That isn't real evidence,but it is possible some people would take it that way
and then we'd have trouble. But if you want to do it, what do we need to do?"
"We need you to testify." Logan said.
