NOTES: I'm sorry for having to put this note up but I wanted to respond to this review I got since she didn't leave an e-mail address.
The Chapter 2 bios were just to help some people who didn't know about X-men. I didn't expect reviews on it. I have taken the Bios off. I may not be perfect with the X-men world but I do try to research before I put up info. I borrowed the info off a Website.
kelly If you look at the Marvel home page it is spelled ORORO. As for Marie that was a name given to her in the movie.
So far most X-men websites I've checked her name was unknown.
Rekison I do appreciate you telling me about Logan. That one I did not know about.
POLGARA-5: I think you just talked me into putting a little hint of a relationship between Buffy and Logan. I have something planned that think you will like.
ALLEYCAT23: You'll just have to wait and see.
I want to thank everyone for their reviews. They mostly have been great.
Xavier had also noticed the sadness that had been coming over Buffy. He also knew about the dreams she had every night. While Scott was taking Buffy to the carnival he and Logan were going to visit an old acquaintance of his. With the help of his telepathic abilities he floated the ordinary wheel chair down the steps to the apartment. Logan had his hands on the chair to make it look to any observers that he had carried him down. Logan knocked on the door. Seconds later the door opened.
"Rupert Giles?"
Xavier asked hoping he remembered him. Xavier looked at the man before them who looked just as tired as Buffy did.
"Charles Xavier. It's been years."
Giles stepped back so they could enter. Xavier rolled his chair inside and Logan followed.
"You're right Rupert. It's been too long. It's good to see you. I like you to meet an associate of mine. Logan. Logan this is Rupert Giles."
"It's nice to meet you."
Logan said shaking Giles's hand. He could smell Buffy's scent on him even though it was very faint.
"Have a seat. Would you like some tea, coffee or something of that nature?"
"Tea would be fine for me and a beer for Logan if you have one." Giles came back with an assortment of beverages. He took a seat. "Logan and I came here to talk to you about Buffy."
"Buffy! Is she all right? What about Buffy? Do you know where she is?"
"Buffy is in New York. She's been staying at the school I run. Her cousin is one the teachers there." Xavier began.
Giles let out the breath he didn't realize he was holding. He was glad to know that Buffy was truly all right.
"She's home sick and wants to come home but she's afraid of how you and her friends will react."
"She's been having nightmares almost every night. Most nights I find her wandering outside or working out." Logan said.
"Does she know you're here?"
"No. We didn't want to give her time to run off again." Xavier answered.
"Where is she now?" Giles asked.
"Her cousin Scott took her to the carnival in hopes to cheer her up. We were hoping you would come and talk with her…."
Xavier clutched his head. At the same time Giles went into a trance like state.
"Scott!"
"Buffy!" They cried out at the same time.
Buffy's head was pounding as she slowly began to come to. The light hurt them at first, so she immediately shut them. Cautiously she opened her eyes again. This time the light didn't hurt them. Turning her head slightly she saw that she was in some kind of lab. Then it all came back to her. The teddy bear Scott had won for her at the carnival had released some sort of gas. Before she or Scott could react they had been on the verge of unconsciousness. Scott. The last thing she saw was Scott's face before darkness claimed her. She had to find Scott to see if he was all right. As she tried to get up her body was instantly brought back down and she let out an oomph. She found her arms and legs were bound to the table with metal restraint. She pulled hard on her restraints but to no avail. Buffy lifted her head again to get a better look around.
"Buffy? Are you alright?"
Buffy heard Scott's scared voice. It did nothing to reassure her fears. She tried to look around to see where it was coming from.
"Scottie? Where are you?" Her voice cracked slightly.
"Off to your left Buffy."
She arched her head upwards and to the left. She saw him sitting on the floor of a glass cylinder. She gasped.
"Scott! Your eyes! I can see your eyes. Why can I see your eyes?"
"It's the Geonshan slave collar Buffy. It prevents me from using my powers."
"I've forgotten how much I miss seeing them. Where are we Scott?"
"We're in Sinister's lab?"
"What does he want with us?"
Before Scott could answer the door to the lab opened and Sinister entered.
"I am actually more interested in you than in Scott this time. You do not carry the X gene yet you have strength beyond a normal human. Who are you?"
His red eyes glowed brighter. Buffy could tell he was trying to intimidate her.
"Your worst nightmare when I get off this table." She glared at him while pulling on the restraints.
"Not likely but if you won't tell me who you are I'll have to run my test to find out. Some may be extremely painful."
"Leave her alone Sinister!" Scott said as forcefully as he could.
"What are you going to if I don't? Be careful Summers. You'll be next." Sinister moved to a panel a few feet away.
The Professor, Giles, and Wolverine had made their way back to Westchester after they both experienced visions. Scott had sent a strong mental image to Xavier before he had passed out. As for Giles through the Watcher/Slayer bond that they share he was seeing what had happened just like the night Ethan gave her the Eygon tattoo. The last thing he saw was the teddy bear with a green gas coming out its mouth. Giles had grabbed some essentials and his suitcase that was packed for his next trip. They landed back at the mansion several hours later. They were all gathered in the war room. Giles had just been introduced to the others when another set of Buffy images hit him. She was in pain. Giles saw her strapped to a table. A strange man was standing over her poking, prodding, and cutting in to her. He could feel it as she cried out in pain. As suddenly as it had come it was gone.
"Rupert, what did you see?" Xavier asked.
"He's hurting her. Trying to find out where she gets her strength from."
"Can you describe him?" Jean asked him.
"Dark hair, white skin and his eyes are glowing red."
"Sinister!" The group said together.
"We need find Sinister's lab immediately. There's no telling what experiments he conducting on Scott and Buffy." Jubilee said.
The meeting went on for several more minutes. Everybody got a task to get ready for the rescue mission.
"Stop it Sinister! You're killing her." Scott pleaded.
From his position on the floor Scott could see that Buffy was very pale and bleeding badly as Sinister kept taking blood for his test. Sinister simply ignored his pleas. Sinister finally left leaving them alone. Scott wanted to go to her but he was still trapped in his cylinder.
"Buffy? Buffy? Can you hear me?"
He got no response but he hadn't expected one. She had passed out a long time ago. He wasn't sure from what. It could have been from pain or the loss of blood. Her ragged breathing was the only thing telling him that she was alive. He heard a door open somewhere in the lab and held his breath that Sinister wasn't coming back to do more experiments on Buffy. He couldn't breathe or maybe he had just forgotten how. The body that stood before him was his brother Alex. Sinister had worked his mind magic on him. It was so powerful that Alex would fight against Scott and the other X-men. He finally took a breath when he realized he was becoming light-headed.
"Alex?"
His brother turned to look at him but his eyes were filled with their usually hatred.
"Not looking to good there are we big brother. What's the matter? Sinister got your tongue?" He laughed at his own joke.
"You got to help her Alex. She's going to die if she stays here much longer."
"Who? You're precious girlfriend Jean?"
He went over to the table and looked down at the body that was lying there. Scott watched and could see a small change in his eyes. His brother had always been very very protective of Buffy.
"Look at who that is Alex. That's not Jean. That's Buffy. Sinister is killing Buffy."
Scott tries to stress his concern in his voice. Alex looked down at her. Her eyes slowly opened and met with Alex's.
"Alex? Hurts."
She held his look and he could see all her suffering. The change in Alex was almost immediate. Scott could see his brother's body began to tremble.
"Buffy?" He gasped. She had passed out once again.
"Alex?"
"It's me Scottie." Alex replied as he turned to face his brother.
"How many times do I have to tell you not to call me that?" Scott asked him with a slight smile. "Can you get us out of here?"
"I'll try but it may take some time. I'm going to need some help and it may take me a few days to get it all set up." He looked at Buffy and placed a hand on her face. "Hang on Buffy."
