The next day seemed the longest for the X-men. Rogue sat up in her room and ignored any knocks or calls from Storm. Jean Grey sat quietly in the lounge, but no one went near her. Beast mostly kept to himself, unless he was called upon. And the Professor tried out Cerebro in a search for the missing mutants…

"Quicksilver, you will watch as I use Cerebro. If anything goes wrong you will assemble a team of the following mutants. Yourself, Archangel, Nightcrawler, Iceman, and Psylocke. You will lead them here, have only two of them stay with me, one will try to get Jean to use Cerebro alongside me, that is if I'm alright, and the left over two will run the manor for the time of my recovering, if needed." Professor X shot off commands at Quicksilver as he started the machine.

Professor X placed the helmet on slowly, and adjusted it. Quicksilver already had one foot towards the door as he watched his leader. The Professor closed his eyes and held them shut. Quicksilver crouched on his knee in a racing position. The Professor let out a heavy sigh and shook his head as he removed the metal head piece.

"What happened!?" Quicksilver questioned the Professor as he stood.

"Its been sabotaged! Its not sending anything."

The X-men were assembled at once and were split up into groups. "Quicksilver lead the group I listed before, except for Iceman. Iceman join Storm, Beast, and Jubilee. Storm, you will lead those mutants." Quicksilver grouped the mutants together as Professor X spoke. "Jean, you are in no condition to lead, and usually I wouldn't have you placed in a group but our X-men are limited. So Jean you will be joining Shadowcat, Rogue and Colossus, and will be led by Marrow."

The forces were all together now and were being assigned missions. "We have three teams and three missing mutants, Wolverine, Cyclops, and Gambit. But we can't leave the base unprotected. Storm, your group will stay with me and any remaining mutants here at the manor. Quicksilver, take your group to the area where Sabretooth was reported dead. And Marrow cover as much ground throughout the city as possible."
