Chapter Five
"Can we have something to eat?" Blob said as stepped up closer to the see-through wall surrounding him and the rest of the Brotherhood.
"I already told you no!" Scott exclaimed as he sat on the chair in front of the cell fiddling with a puzzle.
Lance yelled in rage as he approached the protection that held them back from breaking through. He had tried to shake it down, but it was a very strong jail, with no ordinary walls. He ran towards it and a second later was sent flying back, hitting the other wall that threw him in the middle of the cell, leaving him weak.
"How many times does this have to happen before you get it through your thick head?" Scott said raising his voice gradually. "This is not a jail you can escape from, got it!"
Lance rolled his eyes, annoyed of Scott as usual. "I don't understand what you are doing here? I mean, you were a pain before but I never thought you'd end up working for Magneto," Lance said as Scott ignored him. "What? You don't want to believe that you belong with the X-men."
"SHUT-UP!!!!!!!!!!!!" Scott yelled outrageously. He shot red lazars from his eyes at the wall as Lance backed away. Then he sat back down on the chair.
"What about Jean?" Blob asked teasingly.
"Yeah, your precious girlfriend!" Toad said as he hopped as close as he could get to Scott.
Scott knitted his eyebrows in deep concentration, trying to block their voices out of his mind. But he couldn't help wonder what they were talking about. He kept fiddling with his puzzle until he came to a stop. He found the missing pieces of one of the pictures. It was a heart. A red, bubbly heart that made his own ache with pain and longing.
Scott, an innocent voice said in his as he saw a hand reach out to him where he couldn't reach it. Scott shook his head, attempting to get rid of the voice. Then he went back to monitoring the Brotherhood.
He turned his head towards the ground in an attempt to not think of anything at the moment. But he couldn't find a way to forget the sweet and tender voice that was playing over and over in his head.

"This would be much easier with cerebro," Hank stated as he watched the computer screen intently.
"How could we have been so stupid?!?!?" Logan growled angrily as he slammed his three metal claws through a vase.
"Logan, calm down," Hank said as he typed on the computer for information.
"Calm down?!?!?" Logan exclaimed as the rest of the students looked at him as if he was making them feel more frightened of the whole situation. He knew he had to keep everyone calm because he was the most mature here, including Hank. But he couldn't hold it in any longer. "We were easily fooled by Charles' medalling, schizophrenic, brainwashing son, we weren't there for Scott, the Professor, and Jean…………" Logan paused and clenched his jaw. He raised his black, bushy eyebrows up and softened his expression. "And I especially wasn't there for Ororo," he finished with a loving voice.
"Like how sweet!!" Kitty exclaimed as she ran over to Logan and attempted to give him a hug.
"Half-pint!" Logan exclaimed as he held back but allowed a little hug from the squirt.
"I found the location," Hank interrupted.
"Vell, vhat are ve vaiting for?" Kurt asked.
"Yeah, let's go save our friends," Rogue said as everyone smiled with motivation.

"Jean," Ororo said as she sat down on the floor of the cell they were locked in. They were surrounded by walls that were unthinkably impossible to break free from.
"What is it Storm?" Jean asked as she glanced at Storm from across the mediocre sized prison and then towards Pietro who lye asleep outside of the prison.
"Thank you for undoing Lucas' brainwashing scheme," Storm said as she brushed a white strand of hair away from her face.
"Right before the Acolytes attacked us too!" Jean said releasing a silent giggle. Ororo let out a laugh in return and leaned her head back against the filthy, unordinary wall with a great sigh.
"Where do you think Charles is?" Storm asked with a worried expression on her seldom face.
"I can sense him," Jean said. "He's in the… white house."
"What has Lucas done to him?" Ororo asked.
"I can also sense Lucas and he seems to be holding a barrier around his father's mind so that I won't be able to intervene," Jean said as Ororo looked at her with sad and eyes and waited for Jean to say something about Scott. "I can't sense anything of Scott but deep down I know he's somewhere near." Jean felt goose bumps run down her spine. Her green eyes showed a blank expression.
"Very near," she finished with fear in her eyes.

"Bobby, just because we decided to let you come with us does not mean you have to act like this," Hank said as he watched Bobby admire his uniform.
"Scott and I are almost the same size," Bobby said with a smile as he played with the huge x on Scott's uniform.
"Ja Bobby, zat is vhy za uniform is vay too big on you," Kurt said with a laugh followed by Kitty's giggle.
"Shh, we're going in," Rogue said seriously. Logan held out a hand to hold them back and allow himself to go in first. He raised out his fists up to his chest level and released his metal claws.
They all followed him up long, steep, metal, and narrow stairs. Hank nodded as he relinquished his plan. "Logan and Rogue will go to the left, Kitty and Kurt, you two go straight, and Bobby and I go right." They all spread out and went their separate ways, cautious of every step they took.
Logan scrunched his nose and titled his head. He waited a second to take in what he had smelled. "Keep your eyes open."
Before they could walk another step Logan feels a heavy weight on his back and falls to the ground with a thud. He yells in rage as he spins around and attacks Sabertooth with his claws.
His claws force Sabertooth to let out a roar and loose his balance. He pulled himself together as he picks Logan up by his shirt and slams him against the metal wall. He picks him up over his head and throws him across the floor.
Logan kept sliding across the hard floor until a railing stopped him. He sighed a sigh of relief until the rail tilted. Suddenly, it titled back and was ready to break off from the bottom of the floor. Logan held on with all his might as he felt a gloved hand on his. He looked up at Rogue and smiled. She managed to pull him up enough for him to do it himself. Then she was kicked in the back by Sabertooth.
She pursed her purple lips in anger as she pushed the white strands of hair out of her face. She took off her glove and reached for Sabertooth's face when he was oblivious to it. Her face scrunched up as she felt his hairy face and thoughts enter her body. She her hand off his face as he fells to the ground, unconscious.
"Ah made sure ah didn't hold on too long or ah'd end up looking lahke him," Rogue said in a sarcastic voice remembering the last time she looked like a hairy girl. She placed her glove on her pale hand and looked to Logan for a little thank you. Instead, he just grumbled under his breathe and kept walking. "Your welcome."

Kitty and Kurt walked down the dark, thin, long hallway looking around in caution. "I don't like zis. It reminds me of Scooby-Doo vhen zey look at paintings on za vall and za paintings have eyes," Kurt said with a finger in his mouth.
"Kurt!" Kitty said as she shook her head in amazement. "Like how can you think of Scooby-Doo and scary paintings at a time like this. We're supposed to be aware and on the look-out to like save our friends."
"Fine," Kurt said as he wondered about what she said. "It vould be nice if ve brought food along vith us like za Scooby gang takes Scooby snacks."
"Kurt!"
"Alright, alright," Kurt said. "But I sure do miss Scott." Kitty looked at him as she attempted to comfort him but she saw something that made her stop. "Vhat is it?!?"
Kitty turned Kurt's head towards the window of the room that was to the corner straight ahead. "Blob, Toad, and Lance! I hope he's… I mean like they are alright," Kitty said with a worried expression as Kurt gave her an odd glance.
"Kitty! Get a hold of yourself!" Kurt exclaimed as he placed his furry blue hands on her face and shook her. Kitty coughed out blue fur and put her hands on her hips. She gave him a glare because of his loudness and his fur all over her face.
Footsteps echoed in the empty hall. Kitty placed her finger towards his lips so he could hear it too. Kurt raised his eyebrows and quickly teleported them into the room where the Brotherhood was.
"Kitty!" Lance exclaimed as he watched her brown hair bounce as she walked gracefully towards him. "You should go and save yourself."
"Actually, ve came to rescue our friends," Kurt said sarcastically.
"Like what Kurt is trying to say is we didn't know that you were like here," Kitty said as she advanced closer. She knew that the jail had some sort of special protection of getting out by the looks of it and the sound of Lance's worried voice. "Why should we like leave, is something wrong?"
"Behind you," Toad said as he sat back in a relaxed position. Kitty and Kurt turned around to find Scott hovering over them. They both screamed and held on to each other.
"You never know how scary someone is until they become your enemy!" Kurt exclaimed. "But ve are your friends Scott!"
"Kurt! Teleport us!" Kitty said in a hurry as Kurt did it immediately.

"What the……" Bobby said as he tumbled to the floor. "Hank get down."
Bobby didn't even glance at Hank as Beast rolled his eyes and watched Bobby as he shook his head. Bobby released ice from his hands and froze the two people who had taken them by surprise. He looked back at Hank with a smile, nodding his head in pride as Beast slapped his hairy blue hand on his forehead.
"What?" Bobby shrugged as he turned back around to see Kitty phasing threw his ice prison with Kurt holding on to her shoulder. They both wrapped their arms around themselves and started shivering.
"Like thanks a lot Iceman," Kitty said as Bobby let out a small hesitant laugh and shrugged his shoulders towards Beast.
"What happened?" Hank asked as Kitty and Kurt explained everything. "We have to regroup and find Jean and Storm. Jean is the only one who can undo this."
__________________________________________________________
After Kurt teleported all of them to the side where Logan and Rogue went, they immediately found them. They continued walking and walking down what seemed like an endless hall.
"Ah see something," Rogue exclaimed as she pointed to the end of the hall. "They're probably down those stairs in that dark area."
Suddenly, the empty and noiseless hall experienced a quick breeze. Everyone stepped back and Logan released his claws. "Pietro."
Logan shot his claws in the air when he felt the breeze go by him, but missed. "Too slow," Pietro said menacingly. Everyone spread out in a greater circle and eyed each other as if instantly knowing what to do. They all stood there acting weird and conversing normally about everyday things. Pietro stopped to stare at them in confusion.
"NOW!" Beast yelled as Bobby froze his legs and Rogue held out her hand to his face.
"Too slow," Kurt said as they all smiled and ran down the hall towards the dark steps. When they reached the cell everyone tried their powers to help free Jean and Storm, but all failed. Even Kitty couldn't phase through.
"We tried everything," Jean said glad to see her family here.
"There has to have been a key to allow us to be locked in here from the start," Storm said calmly. Suddenly, the left wall blast open through red beams of anger and rage.
"Scott," Jean whispered to herself in excitement.
"Vhat? Zis place is a circle," Kurt said. "No one ever told me. All I had to do vas teleport through zis wall!!"
Scott, Jean thought in her head. You've always helped me and been there for me through the bad times and we shared so many good times. Now I want you to know that I will be there for you through thick and thin.
Scott's eyes softened and he watched Jean's soft and lovely face. He let out a loud shriek and his red eyes glowed behind his visor. Everyone watched in fear, but Scott just stood there.
"Scott," Gambit said walking into the room with Pyro by his side. "Magneto wants you, Pietro, and Sabertooth there now."
"Look what we've got here," Pyro said as he looked at everyone. "Magneto knew they would come here to try and save there friends."
Logan yelled and was ready to attack when he was pulled back by something very strong. Rogue, Kitty, Kurt, Bobby, and Hank tried to advance towards them but were thrown across the room by a shield.
"That's why Magneto also created an extra jail, with the help of Charles Xavier of course," Gambit said as he signaled for Scott and Pyro to follow him out of the room that now imprisoned the X-men and the Brotherhood.
Gambit and Pyro left the room as Scott was one step behind. He dug into his pocket and took out a key. Then he unlocked a hidden place behind the brick wall and punched in some numbers.
"Are you coming," Pyro asked.
"Yeah," Scott said in a low pitched voice. "When you see how great Magneto's plan is of taking over mankind and mutants becoming dominant, I'm sure you all will feel the same way we do. No more jokes, threats, rejection. The world will be at our feet." He glanced at Gambit and Pyro who were smiling and shut the door harshly.
"Uhhh!!!! When I get my………" Logan yelled as Jean held up her hand.
"Logan," she said with a smile as she went through the shield. "Scott, he's……"
"That's my boy," Logan said as they all got out including the Brotherhood. The X-men and the Brotherhood looked at each other for a few seconds.
"Let's go find Magneto," Lance said as they all agreed to it.
