Chapter 11

Revealed

Bobby sat in the same room he was brought to while John told him he was going out to run some "errands", God only knew what that meant. He could be out right now killing innocents, because that's all they seemed to want to do. He had the television turned on and was flipping through the channels.

The place the lived in was obviously not purchased by them. This seemed to be a place where the younger mutants lived, together. It was a lot more civilized that Bobby thought it would be. It was decently clean, and it was in one piece. But how they got their hands on such a large and seemingly isolated house was beyond Bobby.

He was still flipping... nothing seemed to be on today. Just a couple of more flips until he would give up. He stopped on what seemed to be the news.

"Great," he mumbled. "The news."

He was about to turn the television off, but a familiar place appeared on the television. On the television was a picture of Xavier mansion!

"It seems that explosions and attacks by mutants have taken place at this once overlooked mansion. This mansion, owned by Charles Xavier, has been identified as a harbor of younger mutants. We have been able to identify some of them, Bill," said the reporter to the anchor man.

"Can you tell us, Susan?" Bill asked with phony voice.

"Yes," she replied.

"NO!" Bobby yelled, as they began to reveal the secrets that he and all of the mutants at Xavier's mansion hid as best they could.

"First we have a girl named Marie D'Ancanto," she started, and a picture of Rogue appeared.

They didn't reveal their powers, but just letting the public know they were mutants was beyond enough. The listing never seemed to stop.

"Kitty Pryde... Scott Summers... Ororo Munroe... Charles Xavier... Jean Grey... Jubilation Lee...," she listed with pictures of each, and not only people from Xavier's institute were listed, but also those from the Brotherhood.

Then list went on for a couple of minutes and then they finally got to two familiar people...

"Robert Drake... St. John Allerdyce," and then it all seemed to black out.

Bobby was discovered... he was truly found out. He probably couldn't walk outside without being attacked now.

"So it's finally come...," said a voice from the entrance.

It was John. He didn't seem phased at all. There was actually some form of a smile on his face.

"What?" Bobby asked.

"I knew it was coming, and it had finally happened," he said smiling. "Are you ready for the real world, Bobby?"

Bobby stood up from the couch, furious.

"What the hell is this all about!?" He yelled.

"It's about letting those 'insects' that we wont take anymore shit from them!" John replied.

"So you want to die? Is that it? You want them to track us down now that they know who we are and kill us!?" Bobby yelled.

"They can track us down and try and kill us," John replied laughing. "They can try all they want but they will never win."

"Take me back," Bobby growled.

"Take you back where?" John asked.

"Take me back home!" Bobby yelled.

"Your home is now our leader's home, Robert," he sneered. "You're not going anywhere. He could kill you."

"It's going to happen sooner or later," he replied. "I might as well die now. Take me."

"No," John replied. "The answer is no. Get over it."

"So I'm going to sit here for the rest of my life?" Bobby asked.

"If that's what it takes to keep you safe, then yes," John said smiling.

Bobby knew he was going to get out of their whether John liked it or not. He would wait until night and then make his escape...
