"Remy! Remy! Rem-"
"What is so important?! I thought you 'ad things ta do." Remy was slightly irritated by Rogue's banging on the door. His mood however, didn't phase Rogue. She felt too good to let something like this bring her down. Rogue reached up to touch his face. Remy pulled back. "What da hell are you doin', chere?!"
"Hold still a second, ok?" Remy sighed.
"Just don't knock me out." Rogue touched his face and nothing happened. She smiled from ear to ear. When Remy realized she wasn't absorbing his life force, he joined in Rogue's excitement. "You know what dis means don't you, Rogue?" He gave her a very suggestive smirk. Rogue smiled right back as she nodded.

Meanwhile, six sentinels closed in on the Institute. The stomach of each sentinel opened up to reveal sonic pulse cannons. Xavier noticed the threat and called the attention of the X-men. Attention, sentinels are approaching the Institute. X-men, this may be a very strenuous battle. Recruits, take shelter in the Danger Room.
The X-men met the sentinels half way to the mansion. The rockets and lasers protecting the Institute had already been demolished. Wolverine charged at the huge machine's claws first. He disabled one of the sentinel's cannons before being knocked unconscious by its massive arm. As they challenged the giants with their powers, every sentinel raised their arms towards the X-men. Their hands, which were covered with human skin, shot a high intensity energy pulse. Jean and Storm fell to the ground. Scott attempted to shoot an optic blast, but his visor seemed to be malfunctioning.
The sentinels shot out containment gel that hardens upon contact. Many of the X-men were captured. Only Beast, Logan, and Kurt were able to out run the huge boogers shot from the sentinels. But Beast wasn't Beast anymore. He was Hank McCoy, the teacher from Bayville High. He informed Professor of the situation and the Recruits, Professor, Hank, Kurt, and Logan escaped through the tunnel system built underground.
"I already informed Magnus and the Brotherhood to find shelter in the sewers. I want to speak with Dorian and his mother. I believe he might have something to do with this," Xavier said.
"What about Rogue and Amara?!" Logan demanded. "They're still out there somewhere!"
"We will have to wait for a rescue mission, Logan. Unless you would like to bring Mr. Fury or Amanda into this mess."
"No!" Kurt objected. "Zis eez not somezing I vant to involve Amanda een!"
"Relax Elf...er Kurt, Professor wasn't serious about endangering a teenage human with our problems. Although, she'd be less conspicuous than a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent." Calling him Elf didn't seem to fit, seeing how he wasn't blue and fuzzy anymore.
"We need to contact Dorian first. His mutation may be the key to defeating these new breed of sentinels," stated the professor.
"Or their new edge on us. They neutralized our powers somehow, and I'm willing to bet he's part of the equation," Hank responded.
"Even so, he is the only lead we have. Kurt, you will have to find Amanda. I hope your current state will persuade her parents to change their minds. After you show her parents you no longer posses mutant powers, visit Dorian. You should escort him and his mother to the subway entrance at fifth and Main in two hours from now. That's seven o'clock. Amanda will have to find Rogue and Amara before the sentinels do," the professor explained.
"But Professor-"
"Kurt, the only time Amanda will be in danger is between her house and Dorian's, but I'm sure your capable of protecting her. The sentinels aren't interested in kidnapping humans. They're only after us. I'm sorry Kurt; Amanda is our best shot."
~*~
Kurt rang Amanda's doorbell. Luckily, Amanda answered.
"Kurt? Is that you?"
"Yes. Ve need your help."
"Does it have to do with those robots walking around out there?"
"Have any come past lately? If they find me, I don't zink I vill get away thees time."
"No, but it's all over the news. My parents are very scared. They were actually going to ask you to look after me while those robots are around."
"I hope zat means ve vill get to see more of each ozzer. But listen. The sentinels have turned off most of our powers. Scott, Jean, Ororo, and Keety have been captured by zem."
"I'm in." Amanda turned and yelled to her parents. "Mom, Dad. Kurt is taking me into shelter from the machines." Her parents rushed to the door.
"Thank you Kurt for protecting our daughter. We will never forget this." Kurt must have been daydreaming, because he was startled by a harsh voice from inside Amanda's house.
"Are you even listening?! Make sure she isn't hurt or else! We are trusting you to take care of our only child!" Kurt's heart sank. I lose my powers and zey still hate me. There's no way I vill ever get her parents approval. I wish I never had this stupid mutation. Kurt nodded. He and Amanda began walking to Dorian's apartment.
"Don't worry about them Kurt. We can always raise our spirits with a little fun." She gave him a warm smile.
"Amanda, I thought ve agreed we veren't goink to do zat anymore."
"You thought it would a good idea; I just want to make you happy. That's why I'm here."
"Ok, I guess ve should get going zen." Amanda laughed softly.
"You're so funny the way you say things sometimes."
~*~
"Eet's been a long time since we did zis, are you sure I'm doing eet right?"
"Yes," Amanda said smiling. "Just keep going. Your doing great." Kurt had his tongue out his was concentrating so hard. "Come on, Kurt. A little to the left. Keep going. Keep going! Faster! Yea! Yes!" She gave Kurt a high five. "Way to kick some alien ass. Our Gut Bombs are almost ready, I'll be right back."
"Vait!" Kurt called after her. Amanda walked over to him. He kissed her on the cheek. "Thank you so much. Zeez has made my day."
"Well I'll go get the burgers. When did you say we had to leave?" Kurt looked at the clock. It was already six-thirty!
"Ve have to leave now! I'm goink to be late!" He grabbed her arm and they ran out the door.
