Wolverine burst through the door carrying Kurt in his arms. No one could tell if he was alive or not by looking at him. His body, limp and unmoving and Storm, Wolverine and Kurt himself all had blood on their cloths.

"Hang in there, kid." He whispered. Storm followed close behind with professor X tailing. Jean burst into tears at the sight of them. Rouge couldn't rest after she found out what happened. No one could. When Wolverine came in the door, the other kids in the institute couldn't believe the story was true.

About two and a half hours later, Storm walked out of the room Kurt was in. Kitty had been sent to listen in.

"We should call his parents. It looks bad." Said Storm in a low voice. They were talking too quietly for her to hear so she went back to the others.

"Storm said they should call his parents. It looks bad." She told them.

"Last time that happened, someone was fatally injured here." Said Scott.

"You don't think." asked Evan who was turning white.

"No! it can't be! I mean we are talking about Kurt here! He's mah baby brother. There is just no way!" said Rouge.

"We better wait and like, the professor will tell us." Said Kitty. Just then, Mistique came in the door and ran down the hall to where Kurt was. Storm, Beast, and Wolverine couldn't hold her back.

"I AM GOING TO SEE MY SON! LET GO!" she wailed. Professor X told them to let her go. She instantly went inside the room and sat by Kurts' bed. His chest was wrapped in bandages and his breathing was quick and shallow. She took a piece of cloth and ran it through cold water and put it on his forehead.

"We did not agree on this. They said they wouldn't hurt you." she whispered. She caught the four dazed teachers looking at her through the doorway.

"I may be part of the brotherhood, and he may be an X-man, but that doesn't mean I can't care what happens to him. he is still my son." She said.

"Yes. Very true. Just don't let his adoptive family find about this." Said professor X.

"Don't worry. I wont." Said Mistique as she brushed Kurts' bangs out of his face.

"Exavior, I have something to ask you." Said Mistique.

"What." Asked Professor X.

"What are your thoughts regarding a temporary alliance between the X-men and myself?" asked Mistique.
