"Come on, you lot! We have to get moving! Oh jeez, where is Billy?" Ink
looked around for her ten year old brother.
"I think he went to the bathroom," Christina said. Her twin Calvin nodded, and they both shook their blond heads up and down, looking comical. Ink rolled her eyes and flicked her knife open and closed. Finally she snapped it closed.
"Which bathroom?" she asked. Calvin pointed down the hall.
"The one down there," he said. Ink started to walk towards the door when suddenly A small brown haired boy came up. Ink sighed.
"Alright, Bill, now are you coming or what?" she asked. Right then Kurt and Hank walked in and smiled at everyone. Betty and a couple of the other children cried out and leapt forward, tackling the blue men and climbing on them, laughing and yelling. Hank and Kurt also laughed and started grabbing and trying to pull them off. Ink was at loss for words, not have expecting her brothers and sisters to greet these people so warmly.
"Get off of them, Betty! Bill! Belle, help me get them off," Ink said. She and Belle, along with the help of Christina and Calvin, managed to get all five of the little kids off the two men. Hank laughed and picked Betty up swinging her high up. Betty squealed with delight as Hank tossed her up and caught her again, then placed her gently down on the floor. Ink's eyes went wide and she pulled Betty over to her, glaring at Hank.
"Yeah?" she said gruffly. "And what do you want?"
"Just to tell you that Professor Xavier wants to have a word with you before you leave," Hank said.
"Ve can vatch ze children until you come back," Kurt said. Ink snorted.
"Yeah right," Ink said. She looked over at Belle. "You're in charge till I get back, get this lot back to the front door, keep them ready to go fast," she muttered as she walked out the door.
"K, um, Ink?" Belle asked. Her voice was unusually high. "Uh, before you go, can I talk to you?" Ink looked at her little sister strangely and then nodded, and walked out into the hall, shutting the door after Belle. Hank and Kurt looked at eachother, and a couple of minutes later they heard a yell.
"YOU TOLD THEM WHAT?!" Suddenly the door slammed open, hitting the wall so hard it dented the wall behind it. She grabbed Betty and picked her up, glaring at Christina and Calvin. Hank looked out the door and saw Belle, silent tears streaming down her face.
"You two, come on, we're leaving now." Ink spat. Calvin looked ready to wet himself and Christina, as well as a few of the other children, looked ready to start crying themselves.
"But Ink," Calvin said in a faint voice. Ink whirled around.
"We are leaving, now." She said in a dangerously low voice. "Now get the others ready to go, now!" Christina and Calvin nodded and turned around to get Ben and the others. Ink turned around to go, but found the doorway blocked by Belle. Ink looked startled.
"Belle? Help get your brothers and sisters," she said. But Belle put her hands on the doorframe and her jaw was set.
"No," she said, in a voice so small it was almost impossible to hear. But then she cleared her throat, looked at the floor, and then looked again, no longer crying. "No." she repeated, firmer and louder.
"Wha-?" Ink said. Her mouth hung open, and all of her siblings looked equally surprised. Ink had been more like a parent to them, and her word was law among them. Especially for Belle, who had always listened to her older sister and never argued with her. Even Hank and Kurt were speechless, but Ink looked ready to have a heart attack.
"I said no, I'm not leaving, and I'm not letting any of us go with you either." Belle said.
"What the hell are you talking about, you're not going?" Ink growled, putting her tough face back on.
"I said, none of us are going with you. If you want to go, fine, but we're not coming back with you. We can't keep going the way we were, we wont last. These people are nice, and we're staying. Leave if you want, you'll be fine on your own." Belle said. Calvin looked at his twin and stood beside her, and soon Christina joined them in the doorway.
"We can't keep going Ink, she's right," Christina said.
"Yeah, we won't last, not all of us." Calvin agreed. Ink looked shell shocked, and looked at the other children. All traces of toughness and her defiant attitude gone. She was even paler than usual and her eyes seemed to be shining. Wordlessly she dropped Betty, looked at them for a moment longer, and then pushed her way through the door, leaving Belle, Calvin, and Christina to watch after her. Christina walked looked at her older sister walking down the hall and then called back after her.
"Ink! Wait! Don't go!" she cried. Ink closed her eyes and started to walk faster down the halls, and upon reaching the front door she flung it open and broke out into an all out run.
Xavier looked out the window and watched the teen run across the lawns. He sighed heavily and turned around to face Ororo and Jean, who were also watching Ink over his shoulder.
"Follow her, one of you, whoever," Xavier said. "At least for a few days, make sure she doesn't hurt herself."
"Wait, look," Jean said suddenly, pointing out the window. Ink was sticking near the wood edge, sneaking back towards the school. She got closer and out of sight, but Xavier concentrated and told the two women where she was.
"She's headed to the garage, and she's taking one of Logan's bikes." He said. "Ororo, go stop her, hurry." Ororo rushed out of the room, but a moment later a loud motor was heard, and Ink came within view again, this time speeding off on a red and black motorcycle. A moment later Ororo was seen flying off after the teen, and the Professor looked at Jean.
"Go help Hank and Kurt take care of the children," he said.
"Um, professor?" Jean asked.
"Yes?"
"Are any of the other children mutants?" she asked. Xavier shook his head.
"No, Ink is the only one. But they still need our help, and they are only children." He said. Jean nodded and walked off to care for the twelve remaining kids.
