~~~ Inter Bayville Area ~~~
As the sun rose in the sky two men were walking around a forest. The air was crisp and dew still hung on blades of grass. Birds chirped as they woke for the day and prepared to go about their business.
"Are you sure that it is Bayville? I mean there's nothing here." Asked a deep male voice, turning to his partner. The other man scowled back at him for speaking. With cold jade eyes he scanned the device sitting in his hand, shaking his head he looked up at the person next to him with a condescending stare.
"That's why it is the perfect place idiot! Now shut up and watch your tracking unit." The second man yelled, turning slightly purple and almost busting a vein.
The first one shuddered and went about looking at the disk shaped object in his palm, a neon field having to blimps on it. Tugging on the man's sleeve next to him to get his attention he received a severe glare. Shrinking back he held up the tracking unit to show his leader what had kept him from refraining touching him. The second man's forest green eyes widened considerable.
"Get in the car." His employee nodded and scrambled to open their vehicle up.
~~~ X-Mansion ~~~
The new recruits were searching the mansion incase Rogue had returned or might return. Rhane, Amara and Ray were looking in the west wing, Jamie, Jubilee and Bobby were searching the north and east wings. This left Roberto and Sam to check out the south wing. Hank was left behind to supervise and look outside for the missing member. So far they had no luck but they all continued the search no matter how futile it seemed at the time.
~~~ Garage ~~~
Scott instructed, " Jean, Kitty and Evan take the X- Jeep, I'll go with Kurt in my car. Use the communicators if you discover anything."
Without another word they followed his orders and got in their assigned automobile. Scott and Jean both revved the engines with a slight effort and then sped off in opposite directions looking for their lost teammate.
~~~ On the Road ~~~
Logan began his hunt when he got on his bike. Wind whipped through his short cut hair as he steered his bike around turns and bends. Swerving to miss a squirrel he swore under his breath at it for slowing him down from finding his prey or student.
It was a well-known fact that Logan didn't show his emotions on his sleeve. He didn't think it would help if he had favorites and yet he was stunned to realize that he did have a certain fondness for some of the students. Not that he would ever admit it but then he had sneaky suspicion that they knew who they were or at least the others did.
Rogue had gained his respect from when they had first gone to recruit her. She had stood up to all of them and after she had just received her powers. Then her acts to help out the X-Men when she was still with the Brotherhood had surprised him. Going after Fred when Jean had been held captive, and protecting Scott from Mystique on the field trip had shocked all of them. When she first joined up with them he was pleased because even though the other kids avoided her she never let it get to her. Rogue was his favorite out of all of the children.
Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, he skidded to a halt as he picked up a faint scent he turned his motorcycle on one wheel towards the smell. Revving the engine until it let off a roar of distress, he took off at forty miles above the legal speed limit.
~~~ Brotherhood Manor ~~~
Wanda's head perked up suddenly as she heard a deep beeping going off somewhere near. 'Where have I heard that before' When suddenly it clicked, she realized where that memory had come from and what it meant when that jingle occurred. Leaping from her bed she ran out of her room at a speed that could almost match her brother's. But unlike her brother she was not accustomed to the speed and wasn't watching where she was going. Consequently Wanda ran straight into Mystique, who had been conversing with the other members of the group about their job cleaning. She raised a well-defined eyebrow at her actions but said nothing.
"Sorry I was heading for uh I'm going outside for a while."
"Oh no you are not little lady, not without the rest of your team! I can understand that you do not want to be around them, but neither does anyone else. If you want my help with seeking revenge on your father then you will have to follow my orders and right now they are to develop a bond with your teammates for you cannot defeat Magneto with out their pathetic excuses fighting! You will bring them along with you!" she ordered, giving her a glare that meant there was no way in heck she was about to exit the building without the other members of her 'team'.
Sighing resentfully she nodded her consent and glared daggers at them, when they didn't do anything besides flinch she began tapping her foot rapidly. Still she had elicited any amount of reaction from them, intensifying her defiant stare Wanda waited once again for them to get ready. Finally the mutant code named Scarlet Witch lost her patience and went to her last resort.
"WELL! Get ready! I want to leave now!" she shouted loudly, crossing her arms over her chest.
They scrambled to get proper attire on, and were soon assembled in front of her. She walked out the front door with all four trailing after. When the front door closed with an echoing thud Raven let out her emotions that had been bottled up every since Asteroid M incident and being stuck with the members of BOM in detention every single day.
"THANK GOD!" Mystique cried out, tears streaming down her face. 'I will finally get a night without those annoying losers! That child truly is a miracle!' She spread her arms out and melted into a recliner that was located nearby. A smile graced her normally scowling features…until the chair collapsed and she was sent sprawling onto the floor. Grinding her teeth she picked up her a near by paper. Flipping through the pages she found what she was looking for, the want ads. Sighing she began scanning them for any possible position she could fill to earn some cash.
IF: That is all, I hope you enjoy!
Wanda: WAIT! What about Roguey? You can't just leave my bud out there like that! I want to know what happens, I NEED to know what happens!
IF: Well that is all up to you!
Wanda: GUH! But that is so unfair!
IF: THAT is unfair? I had a test today, an essay tomorrow about Romeo and Juliet then on Wednesday I have an exam over the book and on Friday I have a map test about all the countries on Africa! If you would rather switch places…
Wanda: You know what I think I just had an idea!
IF: That's what I thought! Till later folks, I should have Karma's chapter out soon! This only took so long because my older brother is home from college so I can't get on the computer when I get home from school and start writing right away! Be kind and Review! 'Anks!
