Chapter Eleven: We Need A Plan

Rogue concentrated on finding John. Her eyes closed and her mind searching. ^^Where are ya Johnny boy?^^ She asked herself. Her mind scanned the presences in each room; slowly her mind reached Remy's and John's hotel room.

"Found him." Rogue stated, her eyes opening.

"Where?" Damia asked.

Rogue's eyes didn't meet those of her friend's. "His room with Tina, he thinks it's ya."

Damia nodded, you could see the anger in her eyes. Her golden eyes looked like fire, but her demeanor was calm. "Let's pay them a visit shall we?"

Everyone nodded, and headed toward the hotel room. Remy took out his key card, and it began to glow a bright pink. He placed it into the key hole and after a few seconds the key hole blew right off. The door opened slightly, leaving Remy with a huge grin on his face. "Entrez." (enter.)

Rogue noticed the pure evil glare Damia shot Tina who stood smiling with John in her arms. The two were barely decent. John was in his boxers and Tina in only her bra and underwear. But the team paid no head, this was war. What she had done was morally wrong. Invading someone's mind and creating fear. She had to pay, and every X-Men knew it.

Allowing his claws to penetrate the skin Logan growled. "Time to play bub." He sneered, and there was a hint of pleasure in his voice at getting back at the girl.

"It seems you have outplayed your welcome." The professor said with no apparent emotion on his face.

"Jah." Kurt nodded his eyes narrowed, and his tail swung behind him rapidly.

Both Amara and Bobby turned into their elemental sides. Spikes protruded Evan's arms ready to strike. Remy had Rogue's earrings in his hand standing by to charge with kenetic energy. The ever staying sunglasses on Scott shown a bright red, and he had his hand to them standing by to lift preparing for a blast. Damia had created a vine whip and waited to strike. Jubilation's hands sparkled with multicolored fireworks. Hank showed his teeth, showing off the side of the beast. Alex was ready to pitch a plasma ball any second. Ray's arms surged with yellow electricity. Tabby had four bombs between her fingers all set to cast off. Three Jamie's stood awaiting the attack command. Strom was surrounded by a swirling wind. Jean had her hands on her temples concentrating on her telekinesis. Rahne had turned to her wolf side, and stood on four legs snarling. Roberto was powered up and stood in a fighting stance. Sam's legs were no longer visible with his fiery tail. Rogue's gloves were off and content to touch. The X-men were ready to strike.

How do we go about this professor? Jean asked.

Ah say that we give her a taste of her own medicine. Rogue answered.

You mean create a illusion on her? Jean questioned.

Points ta the telepath. Rogue replied sacrcastically.

That's enough Rogue. Professor X decided to intervine.

Sorry. Rogue apologized.

Anyway, how do we do that? The illusion. Jean asked.

Well, we have three telepaths. So we attack her with all we got. Rogue began.

And when her barriers have been lowered enough we attack. Jean interrupted with understanding.

Very good plan. The professor told them, and he meant it. It was perfect.

Alright, but what type of illusion? Jean asked.

We'll get ta that when we get there. Rogue stated, she wasn't exactly sure on that herself.

I'll explain it to the team. The professor said.

On yer command professah. Rogue replied.

When the rest of the team had been filled in the professor mentally called the command. Rogue, Jean, and Professor Xavior threw psyhic attacks at Tina's barrier. Bobby, Damia, Rahne, Alex, Kurt, and Kitty attacked John, and the rest of the team went after Tina to help speed up the break down of her mental barrier.

Everyone remember that if you concentrate hard enough that it is possible to escape her illusions. the professor warned the team.

"Get his lighter." Damia told the team fighting John.

"Like easier said than done." Kitty replied as she phased through a flame figure of a lion.

Kurt kept teleporting around John to get his lighter but each time he tried John fired at him. Alex's plasma had no effect on the fire thrower, because each time he threw a plasma attack John threw it right back at him. Damia wasn't having any luck either, her power was useless agianst fire but she still tried. Rahne was dodging fireballs, and Bobby was putting out fire with his ice.

"We need a plan!" Alex yelled as he uselessly threw another plasma blast at John.

"I told you, get his lighter!" Damia replied loudly.

Alex rolled his eyes at the response. He found his way over to the nature controlling mutant and glared at her; she still continued to fight as she realized his closeness. Alex was ticked, it was one thing to fight, but completely different without a plan which they needed badly. He threw a plasma blast at Damia's vine whip to get her attention. She turned to him her eyes blazing with anger.

"How do we go about getting it?" He asked.

Her eyes narrowed but she replied as calm as possible. "Kurt teleports until he gets it."

Alex shook his head. "That isn't working."

"Then keep trying!" she growled. She threw some razor sharp leaves which were disintegrated as soon as they reached a foot near John. ^^That's it!^^ She began to walk toward John, even with the flames being thrown at her which she just barely dodged. "Cover me!" She yelled back as she continued to head toward John.

"Is this your plan?!" Alex shouted eyes wide; he knew this wouldn't turn out well.

Damia just ignored him as she continued to walk to him. She closed her eyes and silently prayed to the gods for safety. Bobby protected her as best he could by putting out as many flames he could with ice.

When Kitty saw what her friend was doing she called "Kurt like over here!"

Kurt heard her and teleported to Kitty. "Jah?" he asked the valley girl.

"Teleport me to Damia." she told him. Kurt said nothing but did as he was told. A cloud of blue smoke appeared next to Damia presenting Kurt and Kitty at her side. The brunette grabbed Damia's hand and gestured for Kurt to port away. Kitty saw the thankful look in Damia's eyes and gave her friend an as cheerful as possible smile. Kitty phased both of them through the flames that Bobby missed. John continued to send the flames flying as the two girls continued to move in.

"When we get close enough unphase me, and when I have the lighter in my hand phase through the floor." Damia told Kitty.

"What?!" Kitty was surprised, that was a huge risk. Sure Kitty would be fine but Damia wouldn't, after all her weakness was fire. ^^God I hope she knows what she's doing.^^ Kitty thought.

As the two reached John, both Damia and Kitty were nervous. Damia turned her face toward Kitty, "When I say so, unphase." Damia told her. Kitty just nodded. Damia raised her hand to John's. He continued his flame throwing to both Kitty's and Damia's dismay, but Damia was determined to get the lighter.

Damia's phased hand covered the lighter "NOW!" she yelled, and Kitty unphased the girl. Damia felt the flames burn her skin as she gripped the lighter in her boyfriend's hand. When she had a firm grip, she yelled again "PHASE!" and again Damia felt Kitty's hand grab her. She phased and the two fell through the floor. When they landed on the ground of the floor beneath them, Kitty unphased them. Damia was on fire and she began to roll on the floor to put out the flames. When they were out she could see the burns on her body. They were extremely painful, and it hurt her even to move but she had to go on. Kitty helped Damia to her feet.

Kitty's eyes filled with concern. "Like are you okay?"

"Perfect." Damia lied, and Kitty knew so.

"Maybe you should like stay out of the fi-" Kitty was cut of sharply by Damia.

"No." She replied sharply, and Kitty knew to not say anymore about it.

"Let's go." Kitty stated, not wanting to take her friend back upstairs.

The two pressed the up button to the elevator and got inside. They waited until the doors opened to their floor and they went back to the room where their team fought. ^^One down and another to go.^^ Damia thought as she stepped into the room.
