Prologue 4:
Storm braced herself against one wall as the attacks began, watching in horror as the children fell to the ground screaming. She forced herself to stay on her feet, despite the pain tearing through her.
She looked back at the children, feeling their suffering more than her own. Each seemed to be writhing with their own power, as if their gifts were completely out of their control. Storm could feel the air around her stirring wildly, the charge of electricity at her fingertips and her typically controlled anger at the world suddenly fighting to be unleashed.
No, was her only thought, trying to regain control of herself.
But, she knew what was happening, and knew she was powerless to stop it.
The Dark Cerebro had the Professor, and now the Professor had all of them.
Before she collapsed, Storm could see Kurt disappearing and reappearing uncontrollably through the hall. His hands were folded, his eyes tightly closed as in prayer as his body was thrown between substance and nothingness.
Storm slipped to the floor and closed her eyes, wind and electricity raging around her, and said a silent prayer for all of them.
