Kurt ported in to Torey's room as if on cue. His usual smirk disappeared when he saw her face. "Liebchen, what's the matter?"
Torey looked up to him with fresh tears in her eyes. She hurled herself at him as they began to spill. Kurt patted the back of her head, trying to console her. After a few minutes, her wracking sobs died down. Kurt pushed her away slightly so he could look her in the face. He smiled at her warmly and sympathetically as he wiped a stray tear from her cheek. "Now this isn't about Frisbee is it?" he joked.
This caused a small laugh from Torey which dissolved into more tears. But she kept herself more composed this time, as she looked at her friend. "I-I killed her," she managed through her tears.
"What? Killed who?" Kurt asked. HE stared intently into her eyes, seemingly searching for the answer.
Torey looked away from him, full of shame. She pulled her arms close and wrapped them around her chest. "The Senator's daughter. I killed her."
Kurt looked at her in shock, before sitting down gently on the bed. "Wow." was all he could manage. He was never before so truly at a loss for words. He turned his eyes toward Torey, and she looked away again. She was shaking, arms around her still. The silence seemed to be endless, before Kurt took the initiative. "How did it happen?"
Torey thought for a second. "I don't know."
Kurt looked downward pensively. "You mean you don't remember?"
She shook her head, eyes cast downward in shame.
"Do you remember her name? Or how you knew her?"
"No," she replied.
"Well, do you remember anything about her? Or about her death?" Kurt stood now, walking closer to Torey.
"No, I don't remember," Torey responded, backing away from Kurt ever so slightly.
Kurt sighed, eyebrows drawn in thought. "How do you know you killed her then?"
Torey looked up at him now, eyes wide. How did she know? It's true, she really didn't remember anything, but she knows she recognizes Senator Bradley, and his daughter was killed by a mutant right around the time she was put away. She just kind of put two and two together. "Well, uh," she stammered. "I recognize Senator Bradley."
"Schatz, that means nothing!" Kurt told her, pulling her into a comforting hug. "He's a famous man, anyone would recognize him." He pulled away and looked into her eyes again. "But we shouldn't discount your feelings. Maybe we'll talk to the Professor tomorrow, ja? He'll know what to do."
Torey just nodded. Kurt stayed with her until he was sure she would be alright, then ported to his own room for bed. Torey herself climbed into bed, but sleep didn't come easily. She had so much to think about. As horrible as it was to believe she had killed someone, it was a kind of relief. It explained so much, and it almost justified her time spent at the facility. Now, she was unsure again, which was torture. She'd have to wait until tomorrow to speak with the Professor though, so she was in for a night of restless sleep.

"Alpha team, state your position," Trask spoke into the communicator. He waited a minute. "Alpha team, do you read?" No response. "Damn it, Johnson, answer me!"
"We are approaching the south gate, sir. Awaiting your instructions," was the response, riddled in static.
"Excellent, Gamma team, state your position," he ordered.
"Approaching from the west, sir. Nearing the front entrance."
"Fantastic. Now, team Delta. Your position?"
"Right at the back door, sir. Ready when you are!" they responded.
"OK, teams, now that we are in position, I want to stress again the importance of the success f this mission. We will NOT leave until the girl is either in our custody or DEAD," Trask emphasized 'dead'. He was sick of Bradley. Get rid of the damn girl, he thought, and he'd get that moron off his back. "Follow Henderson's schematics exactly. Do not stray from the objective, and let no one get in your way."
"Yes sir," came to response. The teams began to move closer to the mansion, preparing for the attack. They had managed to get past the security systems using the most advanced stealth technology. As they moved closer to the mansion, observed the lack of anyone around. Asleep, Trask had assumed. He had hoped for that much. He didn't need a battle on his hands, here.
The teams were close to breaching the mansion, when they noticed lights inside. Someone was awake. Trask stopped them, and they watched closely as the flicked on and inside, starting at one end and working their way to the other. Silently, the men watched as one lights stopped moving and came to rest in one corner of the mansion. They waited, when Trask gave the orders. Gamma team was the first to enter from the front.

Jubilee was not in the least tired. She was, in fact, wide awake. This could be due to the three cans of Mountain Dew she had downed only two hours ago. Rolling over in bed, she stared at her clock. 1:20 in the morning. Well, as it seemed she wouldn't be getting any sleep, another can wouldn't hurt.
She nearly fell out of bed and crept out the door, being careful not to wake her roommate Amara. Jubilee had learned early on the wrath of Amara. You do not want to face her when she's tired, and god help you if you have woken her.
She entered the hallway, and flicked on the lights. She walked carefully down toward the kitchen, turning lights on and off as she went. She tried her best to make as little noise as possible. She didn't want to wake anyone, especially Logan. He didn't like the kids creeping around at all hours, and made that clear.
Finally, she made it to the kitchen. She flicked the light switch and opened the refrigerator. Ahhhh! Sweet nectar! She popped open her Mountain Dew and downed it in one go. A quiet sound from the foyer distracted her as she was reaching for her second. But she shook it off quickly, dismissing it as nothing. She turned back to the fridge and her eyes lit up when she noticed the last two of Kurt's Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. She grabbed them and began munching as she sat at the table. He was gonna be pissed when he found them missing, she knew, but she'd just blame it on Jamie or something. No way they could pin it on her. She smirked. The perfect crime.
Another noise pulled her from the overabundance of sugar and caffeine before her. This time, it was slightly louder and closer. She decided to investigate. She stood up from the table, shaking just slightly in fear. 'Calm yourself, girl!' she scolded herself. 'It's probably nothing! Like anything could get in here.' She tip toed to the kitchen door and peeked through into the dining room. It was completely dark in there, and she was too freaked to flick on the lights. She let her eyes adjust, before moving into the room. Empty. Then she heard another noise, this one coming from outside the dining room. Jubes moved closer to the door, her breathing ragged. 'Stop it!' she told herself, again. 'It's nothing! It's probably Bobby being a dick as usual.' She slowly and fearfully peeked into the foyer. There, in her home, was a group of men, soldiers, as they appeared. They were creeping forward into the foyer, shining their flashlights around. She heard them speaking into a communicator. There must have been more! She knew she had to get out of there, she had to go wake up the Professor, or Logan. Or anybody! But she didn't even get the chance. They had spotted her, and their flashlight suddenly blinded her. She had no idea what to do, but she had to do something. They were moving toward her, and began to draw their guns. She turned around, to make a break for the back door, but saw more flashlights and men outside. There was no way out. Taking a deep breath and pushing her fear aside, Jubilee did the only thing she could think of. With a loud yell, she pushed open the door and raised her arms, releasing a spray of blinding pyrotechnics.
