Author's Note: Sorry it took a while, but I've been trying to think of
ideas for this story. Also I've been writing my Lord of the Rings story,
which will soon be posted, hopefully. I know I don't get a lot of reviews,
but for the people who do review my story, like Jack's Love, I thank you,
and this is for you.
Disclaimer: I'm too lazy to write another one, just go to the very beginning of this story.

Chapter 4:
The sky was darkening, and the streets were emptying of children, and filling with the partygoers. Three of those people included Tommy, Deron, and Chad. They were each standing outside some nightclub. Deron was pissed at Tommy, he hadn't even tried to stop Logan, and even though Chad had done his best, Deron was pissed at him too. He kept throwing glares at them.
"Dude, you can stop now," Chad said. "We all know you're mad."
"Mad doesn't describe it." Deron said, "We had the perfect chance to please Magneto, and we failed. You failed."
"Stop pretending it's just our fault." Tommy said, "You also let her get away."
"Well maybe if you weren't too scared to even try-" Deron began.
"Hell yeah I was nervous." Tommy said, "In case you haven't noticed, I don't have a special ability good for fighting, I cant run super fast, or pull a sword out of my arm."
"Well, you can punch a dude in the face and disappear and come back this time behind him, and kick him between the legs." Deron said.
"Well maybe I wasn't thinking about that at that time." Tommy said, "Sorry if I was a little preoccupied with the razor sharp, metal claws aimed straight for my face."
"That's just the problem." Deron said, "You never think."
"Dude, shut up." Tommy said.
"Both of you shut up," Chad said, "Arguing about something that we already missed out on isn't going to get us out of trouble with Magneto."
Deron rolled his eyes, looking as if he was going to punch one of his cronies. He crossed his arms, and leaned against the wall, looking at the ground.
"Now, we have to come up with something that wont get us in trouble." Chad said.
"We could just say that we didn't find her." Tommy said.
"As if that would work." Deron said, "Magneto's everywhere, all he has to do is send that bitch Mystique, and he knows everything."
"We could try sneaking into the academy to get her." Chad said.
Deron looked as if he wanted to pop Chad's face in. "What a stupid ass idea." He said, "How do you propose we do that?"
Chad rolled his eyes and then nodded at Tommy. Tommy was still clueless, he glanced over at Deron to see if he had gotten the idea; and he had. Then it struck him like a bag of bricks.
"Come on," he said, "You can't trust me. I'll make too much noise."
"Tommy, just think, if you do this, Magneto wont wrap that metal filing cabinet around you, and squeeze the life out of you." Deron said.
"No, he wouldn't have wasted his filing cabinet on that." Said a voice, a familiar voice, "He would have used something else."
Next to them, a blonde suddenly appeared, but it was only her disguise.
"Mystique." Deron, Chad, and Tommy said together.
"Hello boys." She said. "I'm guessing you've had bad luck."
"Yeah," Chad said, "But don't worry. We have a plan."
"Eric doesn't like to wait." Mystique said, using Magneto's real name. "He's getting rather anxious."
"Look, we can get her." Deron said. "We just need some more time."
"You've had all the time you needed." Mystique said, "Any normal person would have succeeded in the amount of time you were given."
"We were ambushed." Chad said.
"Oh really?" Mystique said, "By one guy?"
"It was more than one guy." Deron lied.
"Deron, don't you remember what you just said a few moments ago?" Mystique asked, and Deron was silent. "I believe it was: 'Magneto's everywhere, all he has to do is send that bitch Mystique, and he knows everything.'" Mystique said, her voice exactly the same as Deron's.
Deron was flabbergasted, he was dumbfounded. He didn't know what to say.
"You got three more hours" Mystique said, "Or else Eric will squeeze you all into a metal locker, before turning it into a tiny little ball."
She turned on her heel and walked away, leaving Chad, Tommy, and Deron staring after her.

Regan was standing in her and Rogue's room, staring out the window. Rogue entered.
"Hey." She said.
"Hey." Regan said.
"The Professor wants you." Rogue said, "He's in his office."
"Okay, thanks." Regan said, turning and brushing by her roommate.
She walked down the corridor, and knocked before entering Professor Xavier's office. Logan was standing in there by his desk.
"Hello, Regan." Professor Xavier said, and she nodded a greeting. "Logan here is taking you to get your stuff."
"We're not taking the bike are we?" Regan blurted out, and the Professor smiled.
"No, you don't have to." He said.
Regan was relieved; she'd go anywhere, as long as she didn't need to get on that bike.
"Are you ready?" Logan asked, and she nodded, "Come on."
Regan followed Logan out into the garage again, and past the bike, which she gave a dirty look at. She would have much preferred to take the bright red car, but Logan walked right past it to a black car. She climbed into the passenger seat and immediately started fidgeting. There were so many gadgets to touch. But she kept her hands to herself, as Logan slid into the driver's seat.
"Where do you live?" he asked.
"Just go to the park we were at earlier," Regan said, "Then I'll tell you from there, it'll be easier."
Logan nodded, and started the car. Halfway down the road, Regan couldn't take it anymore. She reached over and turned on the radio. Some rap song was playing but she pushed all the buttons, until she changed it. She finally settled on a station that was playing The Darkness "I Believe in a Thing Called Love". Then Regan settled back in her seat and looked out the window. Logan shook his head but continued driving.
"It's dark out." Regan said.
"Yeah." Logan said.
Regan mentally slapped herself, what a dumb ass comment. Thank you, Captain Obvious! As she was trying to come up with something else, less stupid to say, a dark shape appeared in front of the car. Logan slammed on his brakes, and the car went skidding to a stop. Regan flew forward, but didn't get hurt.
"Good God!" she said.
"What the hell was that?" Logan asked.
"I have no clue." Regan said, throwing her seatbelt off.
All of a sudden, her door was flung open.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------
Author's Note: Oh, a cliffhanger. Wonder what's gonna happen. ^_^ Hope you liked it, even if it is sort of corny. And I know Logan doesn't say a lot, but it'll get better, I swear. Please review.
