Chapter 3: The Attack and Aftermath:



Bobby tried to force Magneto out of his mind, but he was too weak and Magneto continued.

"Bobby......I know you can hear me......" Magneto continued "........you will do as I say"

Bobby closed his eyes and concentrated hard on forcing Magneto out, but he failed.

"Bobby.......go to Xavier's office" Magneto said

All of a sudden Bobby stood up at of the bed against his will. He started to yank out the iv's and pulled off the connection to the heart moderator and the other machines. Bobby could see himself doing it......but couldn't stop it. Bobby left the medical bay and started walking to Xavier's office. Most of the children were in the rec. room and the ones that weren't were in bed, so nobody saw Bobby walking through the halls.

When Bobby reached Xavier's office, Magneto put up one of his mental blocks so Xavier wouldn't detect Bobby's presence. Bobby slowly opened the door and walked in, undetected by the Professor. Xavier had his back turned to the door, working at his computer. Bobby started to hear Magneto's voice again.

"You know what to do Bobby" Magneto said

Xavier got a funny feeling that something was wrong and turned around to see what was going on, but when he did, he was greeted by a hand pointing down towards his wheel-chair, and the hand belonged to Bobby.

"Bobby........." the Professor said but was cut off by a beam of ice.

Ice began to surround the Professor's wheel-chair and was slowly moving upward. The Professor closed his eyes and concentrated on Bobby's mind, but failed to reach him because of Magneto's mind block. The Professor opened his eyes and saw that the ice was up to his knees, he had to do something soon or he wouldn't be able to breath when the ice when his head. Then the Professor noticed something odd.........Bobby had tears running down his face. The Professor closed his eyes again and tried to search out Storm, but failed. Magneto had put a mental block around the room. The Professor was powers were being blocked, so he did the only thing he could do.........scream for help.

Rouge and Storm had finished eating their pizza and were walking back to the medical bay. Storm was the first to enter, she turned on the lights and immediately went into the office. Rogue stepped into the cold room and started to walk over to Bobby's bed but suddenly froze where she stood.

"Storm!" she screamed as she pointed to the now empty bed of Bobby's.

"What is it Rogue?" Storm said running out of the office.

Storm stood there with Rogue looking at the empty bed.

"Come on Rogue......." Storm said "........lets get the Professor, he'll be able to find him" she added putting a hand on Rogue's shoulder, walking her out of the medical bay.

Storm and Rogue walked quickly up to the Professor's office. Storm knocked on the door but got no answer. She knocked again but still got no answer. She leaned in close to the door and called the Professor's name, but still there was silence on the other side of the door. She turned the doorknob to discover that it was locked.

"That's weird" Storm said trying the knob one more time

"What's weird?" Rogue replied

"The door is locked.........the Professor never locks the door" Storm said now with concern for the Professor

Storm examined the door then turned back to Rogue.

"Stand back Rogue, I want to try something" she said as Rogue backed away.

Storm walked back from the door a few feet and held her hands up. Her eyes began to get cloudy and the wind started to pick up.

"What's going on Storm?" Rogue said with growing fear.

Storm ignored her and kept increasing the wind speeds until the door blew open. Once the door was opened, the winds began to calm down and Storm motioned for Rogue to follow behind her as they entered the room.

"Bobby!" Storm and Rogue both cried out

Bobby slowly turned his head making eye contact with them for the first time. Storm and Rogue both saw the tears running down his cheeks. Magneto felt the presence of Storm and Rogue and quickly severed the link between him and Bobby. When Magneto severed the link, it sent a shock through Bobby's system, causing him to blackout.

Rogue ran over to Bobby while Storm ran over to the Professor. The ice was up to the Professor's shoulders. The Professor looked over to Storm and smiled slightly.

"Good evening Storm" Xavier said acting as if nothing was wrong.

"Don't worry Professor, I'll have you out of here in a few minutes" Storm said turning back to Rogue.

"Rogue get Bobby back to the medical bay.........and restrain him" Storm said

"No Storm........" the Professor said ".......that was not Bobby attacking me"

"Then who was it Professor?" Storm replied

"I don't know Storm.......but I have a pretty good idea who it was. I tried to reach into Bobby's mind, but I was blocked by something......I believe it was another telepath. Then I tried to reach you and I was blocked again. Look at Bobby's face, he was crying the whole time he was attacking me and he didn't move a muscle, as if it was out of his control. And the whole time I sensed the presence of......Magneto." the Professor said looking down at Bobby.

"Magneto!?" Storm said with a shocked tone in her voice

"Yes, Storm. I'll explain later. Now help me out of this icecube" the Professor said

"Oh sorry Professor....of course. Rogue take Bobby out to the hallway and shut the door, I'll be there in a minute to help you take him to the medical bay." Storm said

Rogue nodded and pulled Bobby out to the hallway by his shoulders. He was too heavy for her to lift by herself. Storm turned to the Professor and lifted her arms as her eyes began to get cloudy again. The temperature in the room soared to one-hundred degrees, slowly melting the ice around the Professor. Storm had to concentrate on keeping the temperature steady, if she rose the temperature to high, she might harm the Professor. After about ten-minutes all the ice around Xavier was melted completely.

The Professor moved his arms around a little then turned to Storm.

"Thank you Storm........" He said ".....go take care of Mr. Drake. I'm going to change my suit and I'll join you in the medical bay"

"Yes sir" she said bringing the temperature in the room back to normal.

Storm walked into the hallway. Rogue was bent over Bobby's motionless body, crying. Storm walked over and placed a hand on her shoulder. Rogue looked up and tried to smile and moved aside so Storm could pick up Bobby. Storm wished that Kurt was there. She could lift Bobby, but it took all her strength to do so. If Kurt was here, he would just teleport them to the medical bay. Storm walked down to the medical bay with Bobby over her shoulder and Rogue following close behind. Storm laid Bobby down on his bed and hooked backed up all the machines.

A few minutes later, Xavier joined them in the medical bay.

"Storm.....you remember that serum Stryker used on Kurt?" The Professor said

"Yeah" Storm replied

"Do you have any of it on file?" the Professor added

"I believe so......why do you ask?" Storm asked suspiciously

"I want you to test Bobby for it" The Professor replied

"You think Magneto is using it to control Mutants?" Storm asked

"I believe so Storm" the Professor added

"But why target Bobby?" Storm replied

"I don't know......but I intend to find out. I'm going to use Cerebro to find Magneto's hideout" the Professor said.

"But you've never been able to track Magneto's brain-waves with Cerebro" Storm noted

"True....but remember John left with him. I'll use Cerebro to track John and where John is.......you'll most likely find Magneto........." the Professor said "........If you need me I'll be at Cerebro" the Professor added leaving the medical bay.

A few hours later Storm had the results back from the serum test. Not to her surprise.......the test came back positive for the serum. She mentally informed the Professor of the results. He was not surprised as well. The Professor had found John as well. He was in upstate Maine. As soon as the team returned, he planned on sending a team to investigate.
