Chapter 5
Connection

"HEY!" Bobby yelled as the boy, Bryan, pushed past him and ran down the hall as fast as his body could take him. His black sweater was tight around him and he had the hood up over his head. Bobby didn't waste any time and quickly ran after him. He knew he wasn't going get to him in time, so he concentrated a little to use his power.

He held a hand in front of him and a sheet of ice covered the floor in front of Bryan. He slid across it and ran square into a wall. Bobby caught up to him right when he lost his dizziness. He turned around and looked at Bobby with his green eyes through the hood.

"You're not going anywhere!" Bobby yelled, reaching for his arm so he couldn't escape.

"Please...," the boy whimpered. "Don't touch me!"

Bobby ignored him and grabbed his wrist yanking him up. Bryan's sleeve slid up and Bobby touched his skin. Bryan then screamed with a high pitched voice. Bobby's head got blurry and he let go of him and fell to the floor.

Bryan fell to the floor also, but no because he was in pain... he was just afraid. He fell onto his side and clawed at his head with gloved hands.

"What was that?" Bobby asked, sitting up and looking at the abnormal positioned boy, whimpering on the ground.

Bryan sat up and looked at Bobby with red cheeks and watery eyes. "I told you not to touch me!"

"What did you do to me?" Bobby asked.

"I DON'T KNOW!" He yelled. "Strange things happen when people touch me. I can into their minds or something...I was going to get help but you people trapped us into here!"

"Who?" Bobby asked, standing up, readying his power in case he would need it.

"Who what?" He asked, looking up.

"Who was going to help you?" He said, not wanting to beat around bush.

"Our leader," Bryan said, looking down. "Magneto."

Magneto? That's where John was! Bobby thought that maybe he had heard of John or something... anything! He had to know! This was his only chance to find him again. Bobby dropped to his knees and looked at Bryan in the eye. Bryan could easily sense his seriousness.

"Do you know someone named John?" Bobby asked quickly.

"John?" Bryan asked.

"John... Pyro is his other name. Have you seen him? He's with Magneto," Bobby said quickly.

"Yeah... he's one of Magneto's group," he replied.

"Magneto's group?" Bobby asked.

"Yeah... we're just a branch off a larger group, Magneto's group. He's helped us live," Bryan replied.

"Where are they?" Bobby asked.

"I can't tell you," Bryan said.

"TELL ME NOW!" Bobby yelled at him, growing impatient.

"That's enough!" Interrupted a voice from the stairs. "Get away from him Bobby!"

Bobby turned to see Scott. The look on his face showed that he wasn't very pleased.

"Go to your room," he said. "I'll take him to the professor."

"But he knows where Jo-...," Bobby started.

"It wasn't a question Bobby," he told him and took Bryan's gloved hand, dragging him to the professor's office.

But Bobby knew all he needed to know for now. He knew that John was alive and with Magneto. He could still save him. His best friend... his only friend. All he needed was to find Magneto...
