I'm going to try to put Gambit in here, but I don't really know how to have him talk. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

CHAPTER 4:_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

=Westchester=

 Logan was on his way to a hotel when he saw a small crowd of people grouped in front of a building. They were all staring at something. Logan looked up and saw a mutant with green scales and orange hair. The mutant was standing on the edge of the roof, which was about 6 floors up, maybe more. He was crying and yelling. "I'm gonna jump!!" The crowd below was yelling, too.

"Freak!!" "Come on! Jump!" They were all yelling insults and encouraging the mutant to jump. Soon there was a steady chant of "JUMP! JUMP! JUMP!" There were a few cops around, but they just watched.

The mutant was sobbing now. "Why do you hate me?" He must not of been more than 17 years old.

Logan had had enough of this. "Come on kid, you don't want to do this. I know this great place where I can take you. It's full of people like me and you. No one will judge you. Just step back from the ledge and we can leave here together. Come on…." Logan's words were being drowned out by the crowd. Their chants were getting louder. This pissed off Wolverine.

Wolverine turned to face the crowd. "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU? YOU HATE SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE DIFFERENT THAN YOU!" Now the crowd started throwing insults at him.

His animal side took over. His claws slid out and he took a step toward the crowd. The crowd gasped, but not just because a crazy man with claws was coming toward them…

Logan heard a sickening thud behind him, and he crowd scattered.

"DAMNIT!" Logan's hatred for humans greatly increased. He thought about all the things he wanted to do that crowd of humans. How could they be so hateful?

Then, he thought about what he had said to the kid about the institute. He really did miss everyone. I can't put it off any longer, he thought. He decided to go back.

=Brotherhood Hideout=

While in the helicopter, Jean was blind folded. When she asked why, she was told it was just a precaution. Jean took this time to try to remember something about who she was. But this only frustrated her. Why can't I remember anything?!

Hours later, she felt the helicopter land. And an arm was wrapped around her, and she was being helped out of the helicopter. The same person helped her walk. Soon she was inside a building, and the blind fold was taken off. She was in a warehouse. In one corner were about 30 cots. There several tables in another corner. The blue lady named Mystique helped her to one of the tables, she still couldn't walk by herself because of her leg. Jean was dying for some answers.

"Do you know who I am? Please tell me something!"

Mystique just smiled and said. "Just be patient."

Mystique walked towards an office where Magneto was waiting for her. A boy named John aka Pyro approached her.

"Is that Jean Grey over there?"

"Yes, now what do you want, I have to go talk to Magneto."

"Is it true that she can't remember anything?"

"Yes, is that all?"

"Yea." This is going to be fun, he thought.

Pyro went over to where Jean sat.

"Hey, the names Pyro. What's yours?"

"Uh… I don't remember."

Pyro tried hard not to laugh and keep a straight face. He sat down next to her.

"You remind me of my old teacher, Ms. Grey." He waited to see if she responded to the name, and continued when she didn't. "But man, she was a bitch though. Always yelling at me and giving me bad grades."

Jean couldn't think of specific details about High School, but she knew she probably had a couple of teachers like that, so she decided to comment.

"I know what you're talking about. I had a couple of teachers like Ms. Grey, and I hated them. It's like they're out to get you."

"Exactly! Sometimes I felt like throwing a fire ball at her, just to get her to shut up. That's my power, to manipulate fire. Want to see?"

Without warning Mystique grabbed Pyro by the shirt and pulled him out of earshot of Jean.

"Magneto said NOT to say her name or anything that might help her remember."

"Yea, yea whatever."

Mystique walked away and then returned with a pair of crutches. She handed them to Jean.

"Here."

"Thanks."

"Follow me and we'll help you remember."

Jean followed Mystique into the office where Magneto and a blonde woman were waiting.

Magneto stepped forward and said. "Allow me to introduce you to Ms. Emma Frost. She'll be helping with your memory loss."
