Disc- Rita, Shawn, Marie, Tyler, and Lynx are mine, not the others
"Your going." Logan watched Marie's face drop.
"But why?"
"Because Marie, you knew you should have been home, you do this kind of stuff all the time." Rita looked down, trying not to make eye contact with Marie.
"MOM! I thought you loved me, but I guess you just want to get rid of me the way you made Lynx go." Marie stood up and ran towards the lake, sitting on the dock and throwing stones into the water.
"Marie? What happened?" Shawn sat next to Marie, she was in tears.
"They're sending me to military school!" Marie covered her face with her hands and cried harder, she didn't want to leave Tyler or Shawn.
"Marie, would you talk to us?" Rita and Logan walked up behind the twins.
"Go to hell." Marie wiped at the tears running down her face.
"Marie, you didn't even hear everything, your only going until the mansion is rebuilt, we told you that already, it's only going to be a 2 or 3 months, that's not long." Rita put a hand on Marie's shoulder as she shrugged them off.
"Mom, dad, can we talk?" Shawn stood up and walked into the woods with his parents. "Please don't send her away." Shawn pleaded with his parents.
"Sorry Shawn, but Marie needs to learn how to stick to a curfew, I don't want to have to go looking for her all the time." Logan watched Shawn walk back to Marie.
"Logan, are you sure this is the right thing to do? Shawn and Marie haven't ever had to do without each other for more then a few nights. I just don't want her running away like Lynx." Rita watched Shawn trying to comfort Marie.
"Rita, you can't baby them forever." Logan walked back to Marie, leaving Rita standing alone in the woods.
"But I can try." Rita whispered to herself, slowly walking after Logan.

"I hate you!" Marie shouted at Logan as Rita walked up behind him. "I hate you both!" Marie's long black wings appeared as she flew into the air, quickly disappearing out of sight.
"See Logan, I knew this would happen, now she's gone." Rita looked like she wanted to go after Marie, but knew she would never be able to fly that fast.
"I agree with Marie, go to hell." Shawn walked off to find Tyler and tell him the bad news.
"Shawn! Don't speak to us like that!" Rita yelled after him, only to get a bored wave over his shoulder.
"I swear I'm going to kill those two." Logan growled, walking back to the mansion to help clean up.

"You imbecile! How could you let the X-Men beat you?" Magneto's voice could be heard throughout the whole base.
"Just shut up! It's the first time I got beat." Lynx screamed, a wet cloth covering her eyes as she lay on the couch. "We'll beat them all next time."
"Next time? Next time? There may never be a next time! You can't even see because of them, for all we know, your blind forever!" Mystique yelled, holding back the erg to hit Lynx.
"Thank you so fucking much for reminding me! I tried to block that thought out of my mind for the time being!" Lynx shouted back as she heard a loud slam of a door. "Who the hell is that?"
"It's your caring and devoted father." St. John said, earning a growl from both Lynx and Sabretooth.
"Why the hell does she have a cloth over her eyes?" Sabretooth snarled, looking at his daughter.
"The runt decided to take on the X-Men with Piotr and ended up taking an explosion to the face from Tyler, leaving her blind." Mystique glared at Lynx. "Forever if we're lucky." She whispered under her breath.
"I heard that Mystique, and I don't like being called runt." Lynx told Mystique, standing up as the cloth fell to the ground, sniffing around for her scent. "If I could see you right now I'd kill you."
"Come on Lynx, just forget about her, she's just mad because without you she'll go back to losing." She could hear Piotr's Russian accent right next to her as she laid back down. "You just need to calm down for now, making threats wont help your situation right now." Piotr picked up the wet cloth and put it back on her eyes.
"Colossus, Pyro, I want you both to find Tyler and bring him back here, now." Magneto looked at the two boys as they turned and walked to the orbs, going down to Westchester.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
"She's going?" Tyler and Shawn sat in the back of Shawn's truck, talking.
"Actually, she's already gone, she flew off." Shawn's eyes wandered around, eventually looking up, seeing two metal orbs coming down. "Oh shit! It's Lynx, it has to be her." Shawn and Tyler jumped up at the same time.
"Da…" Tyler began yelling as Shawn put a hand over Tyler's mouth.
"Shut up, we can do this ourselves, we did it earlier." Tyler nodded as Shawn removed his hand.
"Ready?" Tyler asked, charging up his trading cards as Shawn nodded, making two large fireballs in his hands.
The orbs landed in front of Tyler and Shawn, opening as two figures stepped out. "That's not Lynx." Tyler looked at Shawn.
"No shit." Shawn said, throwing his fireballs towards Colossus, only to have them thrown back at him by Pyro.
"Come on mate, that the best you got?" Pyro laughed as he watched Shawn and Tyler drop to the ground to avoid the fire.
"I don't think we can handle it anymore." Tyler looked at Shawn as he charged up a card, throwing it at Pyro as Pyro burnt it in mid-air.
"I don't think so either." Shawn looked around for his parents but they were still down by the lake, too far for Logan to care about.
"Going to call your father?" Colossus walked up to Shawn and picked him up, throwing him back into the bed of the truck, then turning to Tyler.
"Can I call my dad?" Tyler asked.
"No." Colossus said, picking Tyler up and carrying him back to the orbs, throwing him in with Pyro.
"Aw mate, why do I get the kid?"
"Because your small." Colossus said, getting into the orb and leaving Pyro behind as Pyro got in the orb with Tyler and followed Colossus back to Magneto's base.

Marie quickly dove down to the ground as one of Magneto's orbs flew right over head, almost hitting her. Marie watched as the two orbs headed for the mansion, landing on the institute grounds.
"Bet Lynx is just mad about earlier." Marie continued to watch for a few minutes then turned her back on the mansion and continued to fly as fast as she could.
Marie watched as she flew over the city, stopping in the air and floating there, looking down at the Brotherhood boarding house. It was so empty without the sounds of Lance yelling at Todd for everything and Fred yelling because there isn't any food in fridge. "Poor guys, it was so sad that they died." Marie said to herself.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
"What do you want with me?" Tyler asked as Colossus carried him through the halls, ending up in Magneto's parlor.
"Here he is boss." Colossus said, dropping Tyler on the ground and walking over to the couch, his armor slowly disappearing.
"Good." Magneto smiled, looking at Tyler. "My boy, I brought you here to ask you a simple question."
"What?" Tyler raised his hands, ready to fight.
"It's really nothing, I was just wondering how much you charged up your card earlier." Magneto gave Tyler a nice smile, as if nothing in the world was wrong.
"Why?"
"Because I asked, that's why." Magneto's smile faded as Tyler took a step back, bumping into Pyro.
"Going somewhere mate?"
"No, but I um, only charged the card a little, just enough for a small explosion." Tyler looked from Magneto to Pyro.
"Then the runt might be fine." Mystique walked into the room holding a basin of water and herbs and a cloth, setting it next to the couch for Piotr. "You deal with that brat." Mystique said, leaving the room.
"What brat?" Tyler walked around the couch and looked down at a teenage girl with a cloth over her eyes. "Lynx? What happened?"
"What do you think?" Lynx snapped, reaching out blindly and accidentally clawing Tyler's face.
"Ow! What the hell was that for Lynx?" Tyler jumped back holding his bleeding cheek.
"What did I do? I smell blood." Lynx laid perfectly still on the couch.
"You clawed his cheek." Piotr said, taking the cloth off her eyes and putting it aside, dipping the new cloth in the basin and ringing out the extra liquid, putting it on her eyes.
"Why do you have to tell her?" Tyler looked around at all the Brotherhood's faces.
"Because she's blind, thanks to you." Sabretooth's loud growl came from across the room.
"Seriously? I didn't think tha…" Tyler was quickly cut off by Piotr.
"Your right, you didn't think and now look what happened." Piotr looked at Magneto, a look that told Magneto he wanted to kill Tyler.
"No Colossus, let him live…for now." Magneto looked at Tyler. "We may use him."
"I'm not joining you!" Tyler put a hand in his pocket, ready to take out his cards if something went wrong.
"Very well then, I have never pushed anyone to believe in my dream. Mystique, take him home now, we can't use him. Piotr, stay up with Lynx all night, report to me if anything changes." Magneto took the edge of his cape and put it over his lower arm, walking out of the room.
"Lynx, I swear I didn't try to blind you." Tyler kneeled next to the couch, touching Lynx's hand.
"Get him back to Earth now Mystique! Before I take care of him myself!" Piotr yelled at Mystique as she grabbed Tyler's arm and pulled him to his feet, forcing him to go to the orbs.
"Is Tyler gone?" Lynx stirred on the couch, her head looking in Piotr's general direction.
"Yeah, he is." Piotr took the cloth off Lynx's eyes and put it with the other one.
"What are you doing?"
"Taking you to train, now." Piotr took Lynx's hand and helped her up.
"But I'm blind!" Lynx protested.
"So? You need to learn to fight without you eyes in case this is permanent." Piotr led Lynx to the training room. "I wont put my armor up ok? Just fight as well as you can."
Lynx stood in what she assumed was the middle of the room and listened for Piotr. Piotr stood behind her and slightly scraped his foot against the floor as Lynx turned around, kicking Piotr right in the chest. "Hey! I didn't think you would learn that fast."
"Don't underestimate your opponents." Lynx said, sniffing the air and turning to her right, punching Piotr in the shoulder, catching him way off guard. Lynx quietly stood and waited until she heard something breaking the air around her, catching Piotr's punch.
"I think you'll do just fine Lynx." Piotr exclaimed, making the mistake of talking as Lynx dropped to the ground and ran her foot along the floor, tripping him and making him fall.
"I'll do better then fine." Lynx declared as she stood up, feeling Piotr's hand around her waist, guiding her out of the training room and down a few halls to her room. Lynx laid down on her bed as Piotr grabbed a chair and sat next to her, watching her.

Marie fell slightly, barely moving her wings. She was so tired her eyelids would barely stay open. She didn't know what to do, it was already night and Marie decided to land on the roof of the Brotherhood house, she wanted to leave Westchester but just couldn't do it so she just flew around the sky for the past few hours.
She looked around the roof top, yawning. Finally Marie spread her wings again and took to the sky, flying back towards the institute grounds, falling a few feet then catching herself the whole way back.
The trip home took about 20 minutes longer then it would have if she walked, she sat in the bed of Shawn's truck, trying to keep her eyes open. After a while Marie fell asleep in the truck.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Rita sat up in the morning and looked around for Marie, but she wasn't there. "Logan." Rita put a hand on Logan's shoulder and woke him up, it was odd, he was always awake before everyone else.
"What?" Logan looked up at Rita, she looked distraught.
"Marie's not back yet." Logan sighed when he heard the good news, that meant that Logan would have to go find her.
"I'll go find her." Logan said, getting up and going outside, only to find Marie in Shawn's truck. Logan leaned against the side of Shawn's truck and looked down at Marie, she was asleep. "Wake up Marie." Logan said, rather loudly, waking her up.
"Daddy?" Marie asked, forgetting that she was supposed to be mad at him.
"Hello Marie, when did you get home?"
"Late, I don't know when." Marie sat up and looked at Logan, he looked pissed. "Look I'm sorry ok? I wont do it again, I promise."
"Your right, because your going to military school, we already told you that. Your mother has your clothes all packed, you wont need much there." Logan told Marie as she sighed.
"This is so not fair."
"I thought we went over this already, it is fair because you messed up, and this little stunt of flying away, that just makes this all the more fair." Logan watched Marie get up and go down to the Blackbird's hanger where Rita was. "Have fun."
