Hm…I'm not seeing any reviews! I've only seen regulars from two people, and one from another. Please review!!! I like to see feedback and stuff…come on!!! Please? Do I have to beg? That's pathetic. But please review!!!

I don't own the X-Men or anybody corresponding with them. Madison though, is mine.

I was beaming and sulking at the same time if that was possible. Why did I like being like that so much? Why did I like kissing and holding hands and talking to someone close? Maybe because I never had that before…sure, that was the reason. I never ever had anybody to treat me the way Pietro did. That's why I liked it.

"All students-X-Men and new recruits-must report to the library immediately!" the professors voice boomed over the PA system-or wherever his voice came from. It sounded urgent. I didn't want to go. But before I could make it to my room, I was pulled into a wave of students headed that way. I had to go. "Hey Madison!" Rogue called from across the hall. I waved a small wave and shoved Bobby and Ray aside to get there. "Hey. How 'bout you port us up there so we don' all have ta shove in that elevator?" I shrugged and she put her hand on my shoulder. "Hold on." I said simply.

Then we were in the library with some of the others, all standing around confused. "What's this for?!" Tabby called, "I was leaving to get my nails done!" I scoffed, "You think that's more important than this? Your nails? Get a life Tabitha." She glared at me, but stopped when Rogue glared back. "Ah hate her too, but don' try ta fight with her. She's tougher than she looks." Not any tougher than I am. You can bet on that. "Fine."

We all stood around for a few minutes, where eventually Storm, Beast, Logan and the professor came in. They all stood around him and looked at all of us with serious, somewhat alarmed and scared faces. "Professor? What is it? Is there a problem?" Scott asked in an idiotic stuck up manner. "Yes. There is a serious problem and I need everybody to listen carefully and act accordingly and in an orderly fashion." There was a pause in everybody's breathing that was apparent and chilling. "The Acolytes made an attempt to change the president's mind on the mutant 'problem', as they call it. But it was not in the way in which we ever imagined."

"What did they do?" Jean asked this time. The professor sighed and folded his hands. "They tried to assassinate some of the presidents men. His family and staff were both in danger. They then threatened his life if he did not stir to change the outlook on mutants." Some of the older students had covered their mouths with their hands in shock, and others were merely standing there wearing shocked looks.

"So vhat does zis mean professor?" Kurt asked for all of us. "Well, this means Kurt, that all mutants will be placed under temporary arrest until a decision is made on what to do."

"What!? All mutants!?" Tabby blurted. "Yes Tabitha. All mutants."

"But how do all of the police or whatever know who all are mutants? They cant possibly place every one under arrest. That's impossible!" Bobby called out. "Well, not every mutant will be detained. Those who are known will definitely be. That means we will too." A murmur broke out among all of us as the professors stood and talked quietly among themselves. "Rogue, has this ever happened before?" I asked her quickly. "No. Nothin' this serious ever happened b'fore."

"Why would the Acolytes do something this dumb? That was a horrible idea."

"They don' think it's dumb. They think it's a way to stop all this." We both sighed and waited to hear what the professor had to say. "The police, I understand, with be here shortly," he said with a sigh, "and as I understand, the mutant registration act will be put in to full affect."

"But Storm and Beast have been fighting that for so long! And they're going to do it after everything?! That's not fair!" Evan called from the back of the room. "It is though Evan. This was the most serious threat the Acolytes have posed. This is enough to put the whole nation under full alert. Against our kind…"

This was not fair at all! Just for those assholes!? Everybody in the house was just as pissed as I was I think. It was a very hostile situation. I had to get away from it all. "Oh, and I ask that none of you use your powers while we are being taken to the detainment center, or in the center. That especially means Kitty, Kurt, Madison, and Rogue."

"Why not Jean? She can change people's minds!" I called. "She is responsible and I fully trust her." This was enough for me to handle. "And you don't trust us!? We're your students too! And we should get your trust too! It's not like we would do anything!"

"Madison! That's enough! C'mon!" Rogue called as she pulled me from the room. "Oh my god! Can you believe that guy!? What's his deal!? How can you stand him!?" I raged in the hallway. Kurt and Kitty stood with Rogue as they looked at me with confused and defiant eyes. "Calm down Madison, he's the most brilliant man we know! He is a good man. He just, like, has reason to not trust us. Don't worry. It's totally okay. Really, he just, like, wants to help us."

"Pietro was right. He's not trying to fix the problem! He's only trying to make us put up with the problem!" I ran from the hallway for the elevator. I couldn't even begin to tell you how pissed I was. "Main Floor!" I shouted in the small elevator.

Downstairs, I ran for the front door. When I reached it, I stopped. Holy shit. They were here already. They were taking it too far. They all had shields and helmets, guns and batons. Too far! "Mutants! Please come out of the house with your hands up! We have a detainment vehicle. Please do not use any of your powers! That will land you in solitary confinement!" I laughed to myself after getting over my anger, and walked out with my hands over my head. "I really don't think that anybody heard what you said. They're all upstairs." They all backed up. "Oh come on, I'm following your rules. I'm not going to hurt any of you. I'm not that dumb."

An officer came forward and pulled my hands down behind my back and put handcuffs on my wrists. "This way freak!" he said pushing me toward a large van. "Hey now, we don't need any name calling here. I'm doing nothing wrong." He didn't care. At the van, he pushed me up into the back of it. The Brotherhood was already there. I smiled as I saw Pietro, but frowned again when I saw his face. He had a black eye. I sat next to him and looked at the floor. "Hey Pietro."

"Hey Madison." He said quietly. "You try to run?" I asked just as quiet. "Yeah. I was an idiot."

"I would have done the same if the professor hadn't told us not to use our powers. But how did they catch you? You are the speed demon."

"I slowed down after I thought I was in the clear. They ambushed me. That's where I got this."

I looked up at him and smiled. "Well, at least we can talk to each other on the way to jail." He laughed and nodded. We waited for awhile until the others arrived.

"Get in there ya little freak!" a large man called tossing Jamie in. "Hey you asshole! Leave them alone! They're not doing anything!" I called after them. "Shut up you freaks!"

"Bastards," I muttered. Jean was next to me on my right, and she was not in the best mood. I had never seen her in a bad mood, but I knew she was. After we all had been loaded into this and probably another van, we drove off. "Are the Acolytes in town?" I asked Pietro. "No, they're at Mags' base. I'm not sure which one. He has three or four. Pyro called to mess with me for the most part but he told me they were hidden. The idiots. I can't believe they did that."

"Yeah, I know. I'm just glad that you didn't get dragged into it."

"Wanda got away. She blasted all of the guys until they were cowering in fear. I love to see them like that," he cackled as a devilish grin spread across his face, "But they got the rest of us. I told them all to knock it off. They started listening to me after Mystique died. They hate to though."

"Why is that?" I asked. "Cause I'm a jerk. They all hate me cause I'm a bossy asshole."

"Well if that's true, I'll stick around to see you in action."

After a long ride through town, we stopped near a bank. Evan peered out the window and gasped as men began uncovering the manholes. "Hey! Don't go down there! Leave them alone! They've never done anything to anybody! Leave them alone!" Who was he talking about?

"Evan calm down. Ya cant do a thing about it. They won' listen to ya." He didn't stop though. He cried out and thrashed trying to free himself. "Evan calm down please!" Rogue called through all of his fury. "Whose he talking about?" I asked Rogue. "He lived with the Morlocks fo' some time. They were like a family of his. He was very protective of 'em all."

"Morlocks? Who are they?" She sighed and leaned over to me. "They're mutants that believe that the people up here would never accept them. Most of 'em are kinda disfigured, but they all understand what it's like. They try to stop harm from coming to otha mutants."

"And he lived with them?" She nodded. "In tha sewers. He had some trouble with his powers and they kinda helped them out."

Evan was still thrashing around and screaming for the police to stay away form the manholes. Rogue tried to calm him, but he wouldn't stop. "Jean can't you do something?!" I called over the racket. "No! I was told and trusted not to use my powers!"

"But look at him! He's going crazy! Make him stop!" She shook her head. "I just can't."

Well if she couldn't, the police would. The door banged open and an officer came in with a baton and whacked Evan over the head. Kitty and Jubilee shrieked and cowered in the front corner of the van. I closed my eyes as Even fell to the floor in a heap. "Get outta here you asshole!" Pietro called. "Shut up and sit down you scum!" the officer called raising him baton, ready to strike. "Fuck you!" Pietro called back, jumping out of his seat. "No don't!" I called out. "Fuck all of you bastards! We've done nothing wrong! This is bullshit!" The officer came forward and hit Pietro in the face with the baton. He slumped back in his seat and stared at the ceiling of the van. "Now, anybody else have something to say? Huh!?" We all were silent and still. He left.

I sat waiting as the van kept moving toward our temporary prison. Toward a place where we were despised and hated. To where we would be humiliated and feared. This was no better than Maryland. Not at all better. But here I was around people I knew. Well, that doesn't really help at all. Why was I thinking like this? This was all bullshit. My mind was full of nothing. Just nothing. So I put my head down, and stared at the grimy floor.

The van came to a final stop. We were there. The doors opened and we were yelled at to stay seated until they were ready for us. We stayed where we were. Kitty and Jubilee could be heard sobbing in the corner. Evan had regained consciousness and was staring menacingly at the ceiling of the van. Pietro was too. Jean and Scott were staring at each other form across the van, Rogue looking at them as if they were crazy. In the back, Lance, Fred, and Toad were all sitting plainly. Lance looked really pissed though. Then there was me. I was looking at all of the others. I was kinda scared, but mostly pissed. This was just not at all fair. But then again, life isn't fair.

"Alright, all of you come down now. No trouble. If there is, you already know what can be done. So behave and follow the officer into the building." Here we go…

Kinda cool I think. I thought it could use a big twist. So there it was. Damn those Acolytes! LOL well, hope some of you liked. I hope I have people actually reading this. I only have like 9 reviews. I want more!!! Please!!! Well, bye!
