A/N: IMPORTANT: If you've been reading this story from the beginning; chances are you haven't read the last chapter (because when I replaced it, the story didn't upload to the first page of the site) so go back and read chapter 6 if you haven't—and then read this.

Chapter 7 – Missions and Maniacs
7:00PM~
Kurt and Kitty had hidden their discs in their bedrooms; then the two met up in the hall.
"Phew…" Kitty wiped imaginary sweat off her fore-head, "Close call. Kurt we need to come up with a plan."
Kurt nodded in agreement. "Well, the Professor (when he's crazy) seems to think it's funny when we play jokes on everybody…if we keep doing it, it'll distract him and whoever is controlling him won't do anything drastic…"
Kitty gasped. "Wait. You think someone's controlling him?"
"Yes."
"This brings back memories…when you, Evan, Jean and I were hypnotized by…"
"Mesmero!" They both shouted simultaneously.
"But we can't tell anyone…yet. He's psychic. We don't know what his motives are, so we have to be careful about this. Let's pretend that we're not on to him for a while." Kurt suggested.
"Are you sure? What if he's hypnotizing other students? Maybe we should tell Jean to get in Cerebro so we can locate him and stop him now before he tries anything drastic." Kitty said…she jumped when Jean approached them from behind.
"Will you guys be quiet? I can't hear myself think because your thoughts are too loud. So what's all this about Mesmero and Xavier?"
Kurt and Kitty explained the situation to the telepathic red-head.
"I see. Okay. I'm going to go into Cerebro with Scott and see if we can locate this lunatic. You guys go distract him while I do this." And the plan was put into play…
~*~*~*~
"Rogue! Come on! Puh-leeeeaaase? Pretty, Gothic, Dark with black cherries on top?" Kitty ran up in front of Rogue, who had been walking down the hallway before Kitty blocked her path.
"I said N-O, no! What part of 'no' do you not understand?" The Goth crossed her arms over her chest in her usual manner and frowned at her younger teammate.
BAMF! "Aw, come on sis…why not?" Kurt pleaded.
Rogue jumped at the unexpected arrival. He landed behind her; Kitty was in front of her—she was surrounded with no chance of escape. She turned around to face Kurt. "Because, if I play Twister—my skin might accidentally come in contact with one of y'alls and we wouldn't want that to happen, would we?"
Kitty spoke up, "Okay, then you can be the spinner person. Come on. If you don't, Kurt and I will torture you until you say 'yes'…"
At that, Rogue's eyes went wide. She'd seen how they've tortured Logan—she knew what they were capable of…She swallowed nervously. "Fine, you win. I'll be the spinner person."
"GREAT! Let's play…but first…" Kitty grinned mischievously, "Kurt and I need to make some dessert for everybody. You just go wait in the living room, Rogue. Ray and Jubilee are setting the game up right now."
Rogue sighed as Kitty phased down through the floor and Kurt 'ported out of the hall. "This is going to be fun." The Goth muttered; voice dripped with sarcasm as she waved at the smoky air in front of her.

Logan had disabled Charles' wheelchair. Both adults were now in the kitchen away from the others. "I'm sorry, Chuck. This is for your own good."
Charles screamed, "HELP! Children! Logan is being controlled by a chip implanted in his brain. You all must stop him! He is mad! Mad I tell you!"
Logan shook his head. "The Elf and Half-Pint were right about you, Chuck. Here, drink this, its beer." Logan gave Charles a cup of beer.
"Why thank you, Logan! My love for you now is stronger than ever." Charles drank the beer…and fell asleep five seconds later.
Just then, Kurt and Kitty walked into the kitchen.
"What'd you do to him, Mister Logan?" Kitty asked as she stared at the sleeping Professor with wide eyes.
"I knocked him out with sleeping pills. You two were right. What's goin' on here?"
'He's being hypnotized by Mesmero. Scott and I are in Cerebro trying to locate him now. Just play it cool.' Jean spoke to Logan telepathically.
Logan growled. "This is one sick joke. When I get my hands on that freak he's going to regret this." He exited the kitchen, got in uniform, and left the Institute on his motorcycle. 'Red, you tell me where this psycho is when you find him.'
'I'm on it.'
~*~*~*~
Kurt started getting food out of the fridge: whipped cream, chocolate sauce, strawberries…
Kitty gave Kurt 'the look'.
Kurt flashed her one wicked grin. "It's not what you think, Katzchen. It's for a pie…"
Kitty sighed and rolled her eyes. "No, I'm not looking at you like that because of the food, it's because we are alone…with him…" Her eyes moved towards the unconscious Professor.
"Don't worry. We just have to be ourselves. Piece of cake, right..? Or in this case, pie…" Kurt took out three pie crusts and filled them up with whipped cream.
Kitty squirted chocolate sauce on them and then added strawberries. "I don't think these are edible…"
Kurt grinned wickedly again… "Exactly. Who said that they were meant for eating?"
Kitty chuckled. "Oooh, this is going to be good…"
~*~*~*~
'Logan, I found him. He's at your favorite bar and he's drunk.' Jean told Logan.
Logan frowned. 'Is he alone?'
Jean shook her head. 'No. He's with…oh no…you're not going to like this, but he's with your buddy.'
'My buddy? Get serious, Red.'
'Sabertooth…'
"Graagh!" Logan clenched his teeth in anger. Rage burned in his chocolate eyes as he revved up his engine to full-speed.
At Cerebro, Jean turned her head to Scott as she removed the helmet. "This isn't good. We've got to go help him."
Scott agreed. "Let's get in the X-Jet. Knowing Logan, he's probably already there by now."
Suddenly Ororo walked into the room. "What is going on here?" She asked with a stern expression.
"The Professor is in trouble. We all are. But we have no time to waste, Storm," Scott warned.
"Come with us. We're leaving in the Jet—we'll explain everything to you on the way." Jean told Ororo, and the three ran out of the room.
