Chapter 3

He couldn't believe his ears. She was held at the same base he was. Anger flowed through him. Xavier should have told him. Hell, he should have known it. Cursing himself, he went outside. Needing air, he went past the fences and went for a walk. Leaving Emma to clean up after his outburst. Cooling down wasn't something he was good at. As he stalked through the woods, he was concentrating on his issues. Ignoring his instincts, he was in the fog when the first of the government agents infiltrated the school. What caught his attention was the faint noise of braking glass. Spinning around, he headed in a full tilt run. As his feet broke him through the woods, he saw the smoke rising from the school. Whoever is doing this, they are in daylight, so it gave the mutants the advantage. As children run past him screaming, he sees a bright flashing red light in one of the upper windows.

Cyclops. His feet barley touched the stairs ass he hurried up to help him. As he rounded the corner, a man in a black army uniform went flying past his head. Cyclops and Storm were trying to get past the armada of soldiers blocking their way. A struggled yell caught his attention. Past them was Emma. Two soldiers were trying to carry her out of there. One had her arms and held her around her waist while the other solider held her legs. She was fighting like a tiger, pushing and pulling her body, trying to shake their hold.

"Damn it, I'm not going back." She tried to kick the officer, only to have another help hold her still.

As Cyclops and Storm tried to get to them, there was another sound that caught Logan's attention. A helicopter. They planed to kidnap her, again. As she was about to yell out to Emma, a man in a doctor's suit appear. In his hand he held a syringe. She fought harder, and cursed him to hell and back.

"Get the fuck away from me! CHARLES!" Her voice was loud and clearly heard. Logan wasn't surprised if the whole school heard her. The man backhanded her and while she was dazed, he pumped her full of whatever was in the syringe. "You Bastard."

Her words slurred as her head rolled to the side. The doctor then nodded to the officers and followed them out one of the corridors. The fight between Cyclops, Storm, and the soldiers continued until something round hit the floor and began to emit a blue gas. One by one, the X-man fell to the ground not knowing what brought them to their knees.
