And Move On

_____Never Enough___________________________________________
We have a problem.
What's that? Scott looked up as the Professor wheeled in.
Magneto. A few of course's were muttered around the teacher's table in the kitchen.
What's he up to this time? Logan asked taking a bite of steak.
Not really sure. He's made a few random attacks. Nothing reported stolen or missing. It's like he's looking for something.
What? Charles shook his head.
I'm not sure. Whatever it is, he doesn't know where to find it.
That's never good. Logan muttered.
No. No it isn't. Xavier agreed.
~~~~~
Scott, what's wrong? Tori asked as soon as he walked in the door.
Why should anything be wrong?
Tori gave him a look, There's always something wrong. Now tell me what it is.
X-men business.
No, don't pull that bull on me. Not now. She waited a second for Scott to speak. Fine. If you don't wanna talk, I don't wanna be here. I'm going for a walk, I'll be back. Eventually. Tori grabbed the leather duster on the chair and walked out the door, slamming it shut.
Scott groaned and rubbed at his temples. Now what's wrong?'
~~~~~
Hello Scott. Trouble in paradise? Jean teased when Scott came into the kitchen for a glass of water.
Go away. Scott muttered.
Oh, poor Scottie. His cradle-robbing days are over. Scott closed his eyes as the energy started to course, despite the visior.
Shut up. Scott's stomach twisted with a sudden sense of foreboding. Jean's voice changed octaves as her mind was taken over.
Is that anyway to speak to your lover? You do love her, don't you Scott? Or maybe it's that little tramp we found walking in the woods. She'll make a lovely little trophy.
You let her go. Scott forced himself to stay where he was, despite wanting to strangle Jean, even knowing that it wasn't her who had taken Tori from him.
I think we'll keep her. The person controlling Jean started laughing, but abruptly cut out, leaving Jean in control of her own senses again.
Scott. I'm so sorry. Scott didn't say anything, but he turned and ran to go tell Xavier the news.
~~~~~
You bastard! Tori screamed once more before they gagged her.
Yes you've said that quite a few times. Good thing it doesn't make it anymore true. Magneto said, leaning in and caressing her cheek with his gloved hand. Tori lunged against the bindings, keeping her in place.
Put her in one of the cells. Make sure she can't get loose. he directed at Sabertooth and a new mutant, known as Cleaner.
My pleasure. Sabertooth growled before lifting the wooden chair she was tied to and carrying it out the door and down the hall.
Xavier will look for her soon. Mystique spoke before anyone else was able to leave.
He won't find her here. Unless one of you tells him. And none of you would be that stupid, now would you? He drawled, looking around him at his loyal followers. They all shook their heads no' before leaving the room and going their seperate ways.
Pyro stood outside the door, and listened to Magneto's plans for the girl.
~~~~~
What are we gonna do?
I'll try to find her Scott. But you know as well as I do that I can't find where Magneto is hiding. He's too well hidden. He knows our defenses and weapons to well.
We can't just sit and do nothing!
I'm doing what I can Scott. It's all any body can do.
It's not good enough. Scott's voice was heard down the hall.
I'm afraid it's all I can offer. Scott. Scott! Professor Xavier yelled after the man who had run out the door.
Someone should check on him. No one made to move a muscle.
He needs to be alone. We need to find her. Xavier and the remaining X-men started making plans.
~~~~~
It's not good enough. Scott muttered. He looked back once before taking off down the road. He flipped a switch, and the bike jumped forward. I can find her. I will find her.'
