AN: 'these mean character thoughts.'
**********************************
A madman was on the loose and nobody was safe. However, that didn't stop the X-men and the Brotherhood from enjoying life. Most of the group was out in the front yard playing a game of football to forget their troubles and the rest were exercising in the danger room. In the Danger Room Scott, Jean, Kurt, and Logan were practicing on the obstacle course.
"Man look at him go," said Kurt as he and Jean watched Scott go through the course with record speed.
"I know, when did this happen?" said Jean.
Scott, who had been training more rigorously with Jack than the rest of the students, was blasting through the obstacles at record speed. For some unknown reason he was able to learn from Jack faster and better than anybody else.
"That's good, but now he's got to face Logan and that slows everybody down," said Jean.
Scott approached Logan knowing that he was doing better than he ever had before.
'Man.........Jack's training really does the trick,' thought Scott.
Scott then approached Logan.
"Not bad kid," said Logan, "You impress the masses, but now you've got one last obstacle.........Me."
With a grin, Logan drew his claws and lunged forth at Scott in full force. Scott countered his attack with a drop kick. From that point the duo fought on. Scott fought with every ounce of knowledge that Jack had crammed in to his head in the last month.
"Man, nobody ever lasts this long with Logan!" exclaimed Kurt.
"You think he'll break the record?" asked Jean.
"Anything's possible I guess," replied Kurt.
As Scott continued to fight Logan, Logan began to get fiercer. With every passing moment he got stronger and angrier. Finally, Scott decided to end it. In one swift blow he threw an intense punch, but the finishing touch was the extra blast from his visor. Logan instantly flew back and fell down in utter defeat. Scott just stood there amazed.
"Whoa.........Did I just beat Logan for the first time?" he asked himself aloud in disbelief.
"Yeah he did it!" yelled Kurt in amazement.
Logan then got up and looked at Scott in a fit of rage. Scott thought he was about to attack when he did the exact opposite.
"I'm impressed Slim.........You finally beat me," said Logan.
"Uh.........Thanks," said Scott still slightly confused.
All of the sudden somebody stepped in to the room. It was Jack.
"I see you actually listened to what I taught you Scott," said Jack with a smile.
Scott and the rest of those present looked over at Jack who had been locked away in his room trying to formulate a spell to cure the victims of Morris.
"Ah, you're finally out Jack," said Logan.
"I thought I'd take a break, I've been at it for 9 hours non-stop," said Jack.
"Dude, you've got some stamina!" exclaimed Kurt.
"Indeed," replied Jack.
"So, any luck on finding a spell?" asked Jean.
"I'm convinced there is a spell out there and I'm close. I'm very close, but I came down here to tell you guys something about this guy," started Jack. The rest of the team listened intently. "This guy, Morris, uses dark magic in his attacks. He uses it as a means of torture in conjunctions with his mutations."
"Wait.........This bub is a mutant?" asked Logan.
"I'm afraid so. He is a special kind of psychic that has power over the minds of others," said Jack, "It's the reason he can control the fear in his victims. It's also how he inflicts heavy pain."
"Great, how do we fight him?" said Scott in a frustrated manner.
"Well," thought Jack, "His control on pain can be avoided, but as for his hook on fear I can't think of a simple remedy for that. All I know is if you guys are attacked by this guy, DO NOT look him in the eyes."
"His eyes?" asked Jean.
"Yeah, that's how he gets in to your mind. He may put you in a world of pain, but you can prevent the fear aspect," said Jack sternly.
"Don't worry Jack. We'll tell the rest of the team," said Scott.
"Thanks man, I better get back to finding a counter spell," replied Jack.
Jack began to leave back towards his room, but before he was out of sight Logan said one last thing.
"Jack," started Logan. Jack turned back in his direction, "You've taught Cyke well. You gotta teach the rest of us that shit man."
Jack grinned back, "You got it."
************************************
While the rest were off doing other things, the Professor and Storm stayed with the two victims in the infirmary. Things with them were getting progressively worse. They were suffering from more psychosis and they had become dangerously hysterical. Lance had already tried to cut his wrists, but they stopped him. Tabitha was also getting worse because they couldn't sedate her to help heal her internal wounds. No drug, sedative, or painkiller would work on them. If they didn't get a counter spell soon they would most likely die of the internal bleeding.
"I sure hope Jack comes up with a spell soon, I don't know how much longer we can keep them from not killing themselves," worried Storm.
"Have faith Ororo. Jack will come through. Until then we'll just have to hope that nobody else gets hurt," said the Professor.
Meanwhile Kitty and Rogue had fallen asleep upstairs in front of the TV. Their lack of sleep was all too evident.
"Kitty........."
Kitty promptly woke up at the sound of her name. She looked around to see where the source was. She looked over at Rogue, but she was sound asleep.
"Kitty........."
She got up and followed the voice, she could hear that it was coming from upstairs.
"Kitty.........Help."
After the call for help she dashed upstairs, forgetting what Jack had told them earlier about staying together. She slowly walked through the corridors of the upstairs. She didn't think twice about the fact that she was alone, for it was broad daylight.
"Kitty......"
She was right outside the door where the sound was coming from.
"Kurt......Bobby.......Come on guys this isn't funny!" she said getting a little scared.
She went to open the door, but it was locked. Undaunted, she phased through the door. She found herself in an empty, unlit room. It must have been a one of the vacant guestrooms. The voice she was hearing seemed to stop. She began to feel scared as she realized that she was alone. She quickly began to dash out of the room, but it was too late. Before she could get to the door a dark hand jammed a mysterious device in to the back of her neck.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Kitty cried in pain.
She fell to the floor, like the rest of the victims. She opened her eyes through the pain and saw her attacker. It was the Morris.
"Aw.........What's the matter princess?" said Morris as he sent another blast of pain through her body. He relished the scream that followed. "Nobody can hear you bitch! It's Kitty Pryde isn't it? You're the vegetarian of these losers aren't you?" Kitty was to afraid and under too much pain to respond. "Well you must think fur and meat are murder, huh? BITCH I'LL SHOW YOU MURDER!"
He then grabbed her by the neck and lifted her off the ground with one hand. Then with a knife in the other he began to ruthlessly cut in to her small body. Like all the others, the more she screamed, the happier the attacker became.
*************************************
"Rogue! Hey Rogue!" said Jack as he frantically shook her to wake her up, but to no avail.
"Allow me," said Jean. She then put her hands on her head and closed her eyes. She then sent her mind a psychic wake up call.
It worked like a charm. "Hey! Jean I wish ya would stop doin' that!" said Rogue as she rubbed her head.
"Sorry, but where's Kitty?" asked Jean.
"Kitty......Uh," began Rogue as she looked around the room for her. "I don't know. We were just watchin' TV and I guess we fell asleep."
"So you don't know where she went?" asked Jack.
"No, I've been here sleepin' the whole time," explained Rogue.
"Great, I told you all to stay together!" said a frustrated Jack. "We've got to find her!"
"What........Why?" asked Rogue.
"I don't know......I just got a very bad feeling about this," he said back. "Scott, Jean, you two look upstairs and see if she went up there. Rogue, come with me and we'll check outside."
They didn't ask questions at a time like this. Scott and Jean ran upstairs and began their search while Jack and Rogue ran outside. The rest of the X-men as well as the Brotherhood were still playing football.
"Hey guys! Guys!" yelled Jack.
"Vhat is it Jack?" said Kurt, confused on what was happening.
"Have you guys seen Kitty out here?" asked Jack.
"No.......Ve thought she was inside vatching TV vith Rogue," said Kurt.
"Great......We've got to find her," exclaimed Jack.
"I'm on it!" said Pietro right before he sped off to search the grounds. However, he was less concerned with finding Kitty and more with finding Morris.
"I meant in groups!" yelled Jack.
Meanwhile Scott and Jean were frantically searching the upstairs for any sign of Kitty, but to no avail.
"I got a bad feeling about this," said Jean.
"That makes two of us," responded Scott.
Then they got to a door that was locked.
"Hey! This door is locked!" said Scott in frustration.
"Allow me," said Jean as she unlocked it telepathically.
As they stepped in the room they saw the bloody and bruised body of Kitty Pryde.
"No! He got her!" yelled Jean.
As they quickly went to her side they both frantically used their thoughts to tell the professor 'Morris got Kitty!'
The professor heard them loud and clear.
"Storm, Logan, Morris got Kitty!" said the professor.
"He attacked half-pint! That's it......I'm gonna find this guy and rip his heart out!" yelled Wolverine out in anger. However, the professor stopped him.
"No Logan! We can't risk it, we still don't know entirely what we're dealing with," said the professor.
Logan just let out a frustrated, angry grunt.
*************************************
Meanwhile outside Pietro was still trying to scout the area for Morris. As he ran at blinding speeds he was confident he was too fast for the psycho. However, this was not so. As he ran a fist came out of nowhere and leveled the speed demon.
"What the?!" was all he could get out as he tumbled on to the ground in confusion.
Before he could get up he felt a blast of pain through a shock from the mysterious taser weapon of Morris.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" was all Pietro could yell out.
While he was tumbled over in pain his attack walked up to him, continually giving him painful shocks to keep him from running away.
"What's up Quicksilver, why so glum?" asked the attacker as he gave him another shock. "Your speed mean shit now! You think you have power!? I'll show you REAL power!"
*****************************
As Scott and Jean were getting ready to bring Kitty down to the medical quarters, they heard something ringing.
"Scott, what was that?" said Jean.
They looked around to find the source of the noise. Scott then heard it ringing again and traced it to Kitty's pocket.
"Hey, I think it's coming from her pocket!" said Scott.
Then Jean quickly reached in and pulled out a cell phone.
"Hey, this isn't Kitty's cell phone," said Jean in confusion.
"Let me see," said Scott as Jean gave it to him.
It was still ringing. Slowly he answered the phone.
