Thanks to all my reviewers, who were surprised with my villian, though he will be one of many in this fic.
Every day, i see more and more of season three, in fact, only only need to see X-treme measures, Self-Possesed, Under lock and key and (i suppose, even if i don't WANT to see it) Blind Alley. Yup, i'm catching up, God bless the Real Player vid person.

Chapter 5 - Rescue and realisation.
******
As Graydon herded the mutants along down the corridor, not a one made any effort to escape. What was the point? Without their powers, they would be useless against the soliders lined up along the corridor.
"A plan would be real handy right now", quipped Sidney.
"Thinking", said Mystique.
"Don't strain yerself", muttered Sabertooth.
"If my hands weren't tied, i would hit you", snapped back Mystique.
Sabertooth growled in response until Rogue pushed past them.
"Stop it, both of you", she said, "ya'll are acting like teenagers. That's OUR job!".
Both Sabertooth and Mystique muttered to themselves before they were all shoved into a big room with a huge glass chamber inside.
"Ja....that's homely", quipped Kurt.
"Get them inside", said Graydon, walking over to some controls, "i'm going to enjoy this".
"You won't change anything by killing us, Graydon", said Mystique, "even if we're dead, you still have the blood of mutants flowing through your veins. You are a carrier of the X-Gene, like it or not".
"I am NOT a carrier", snapped Graydon, putting his fingers in his ears and closing his eyes, "i am NOT one of you, not not not!".
The guards pushed the mutants into the chamber and sealed it.
"Well, this is it", said Rogue quietly, "an' just when a'h thought a'h found somethin' that would let me touch".
"If it's any consilation", said Sidney, "i've probably been replaced in Avalon by now...or Draco has plunged himself into a fit of dispair".
Graydon smirked, pressing a button on his controls.
"Goodbye mutants", he said, "whoahoahahahhahahahhahhaa..haha..ha...ha..ho....What the heck is wrong with this?!".
He gave the console an almightly whack..nothing happened. There was a frizzle and suddenly Kitty appeared up out of the machine.
"Ooooopsie", she said with a smirk.
"I never thought i would be glad to see one of Xavier's brats", said Sabertooth.
"Finally, something we agree on", said Mystique as she watched the rest of the team barge in, sending FOH members flying.
Logan cut off the power to the chamber, making the doors fly open.
"Well well, here's me, savin' scum like you, Creed", he said.
"Oh, you're enjoying this waaay too much Runt", Sabertooth shot back.
"My lady, are you hurt?", asked Draco, swooping down to Sidney's side.
"No Draco, stop panicking", said Sidney with a sigh, "you worry too much".
"It is my job to worry about you m'lady", said Draco, "i wouldn't be much of a protector if i didn't".
Rogue grabbed the dampener machine from a side-table, clutching it to her like it was the most precious thing in the world.
"Okay, leave the reunions for later", shouted Pyro, "we gotta get out of here, now".
He shot out a burst of flame from this flamethrowers, then used his powers to create a wall of fire between the FOH and the mutants.
"One door, coming up", said Lance, making the wall collapse under a tremor.
The group ran out of the building, to see the Blackbird land outside.
"Thank you Chuck", said Logan with a chuckle, getting in, followed by the others.
*****
A few hours later, the groups had dispersed. Feeling that everything that needed to be said, had been said, Mystique had taken off, as had Sabertooth with Pyro. The Brotherhood were also packing up to go home.
"We should head back to m'lady", said Draco.
"But i just found out i have a whole family", said Sidney, "i..i".
She paused.
"I want you to bring Tally here".
"What?", said Draco, looking at her in surprise, "but...why?".
"I need to be able to tell my sucessor of her new duties", said Sidney, "i'm stepping down as Matriach of Avalon".
"What?", said Draco again, followed by the Brotherhood looking up in shock.
"Yeah", said Sidney, "i..i don't feel right there anymore. But here..this place is my home".
She looked over at the Brotherhood.
"If i could move back in with you gu....", she started, only to be cut off by Pietro.
"You don't even have to ask Sid, you know that", he said.
Sidney smiled and looked at Draco.
"I'm serious", she said, "Tally knows what she's doing, and anyway, she'll have you to help her. Bring her here and i will make it all offical".
"As..as you wish m'lady", said Draco, more than a little downhearted, but he did as he was told, morphing into a dragon and taking off towards the airport.
"You sure ya want ta do this?", asked Todd carefully, yet smiling happily, he had missed Sidney alot.
"Yep", said Sidney with a nod, then smiled at Rogue, who was still holding the machine, "i want to see my cousin touch someone for the first time in years".
