I'm not dead! Sorry I haven't written anything for about half a year *blush* but my GCSE's are finally here so I am studying as hard as I can.

I do not own the X-men

*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*

Kurt landed the x-jet in a seemingly abandoned field

"What if we freak out some farmer?" Angela asked

"Then I'll collect it so he'll tell the police that a blue man parked a super sonic jet in his field" Kurt grinned and replied

"You're insane!" Angela laughed

"So you think your parents have taken Hannah to this show to perform?" Kurt asked dubiously "I mean, they've only had her a day"

"They just don't waste time" Angela shrugged

"But how on earth will she learn a routine so fast!?" Kurt cried, "She's only just got here!!"

"Hannah is a very fast learner. She taught herself to ride a unicycle in a matter of hours, it takes most people months!"

"Wow" Kurt stuffed his hands in his pockets and they began to walk

"How far away are we?" Angela asked

"Five miles" Kurt sighed "No problem, two ports and we'll be there"

"Huh?" Angela was remembering that she'd nearly fainted when she'd last ported with him

"Come on" Kurt grasped her hand and teleported.

They arrived in a tree half an instant later. Angela tried desperately not to turn green from the motion sickness (or would it be non-motion sickness??) which was harder to do as she was scared of heights

"AAAAIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!" Angela screamed "GETMEDOWN!!!"

Kurt looked surprised at her reaction but reached for her hand

"No!! Some other way!! ANY OTHER WAY!!" Angela begged

"Okay" Kurt said and pushed her back wards

Angela fell for a moment thinking that she was going to die but Kurt ported beneath her at the last second and caught her easily in his arms

"YOU GIT!!!" Angela howled as she trembled with fear "I was so scared!!"

Kurt realised his mistake "Oh! Angela I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking! Bad elf! Sehr bad elf!" He began playfully hitting himself which made Angela laugh

"Do we have to port the rest of the way?" She asked desperately

"If we walk we won't have as long to find Hannah" Kurt pointed out.

Her sister was worth more than a little nausea any day and Angela took Kurt's hand.

"Try closing your eyes, I hear that helps" Kurt whispered and ported.

This time Angela very nearly threw up but held it back and smiled shakily.

"Do you want to sit down? You're turning green" Kurt asked worriedly

"No, I've gotta' find Hannah!" Angela said nobly. She tried to stand by herself and nearly fell over "Well, maybe a quick breather won't do me any harm"

Hannah looked around at the huge outdoor competition. She'd never been to one outdoors before, all her championships had been inside large halls and such. This was pretty interesting. She liked being able to look at the empty fields and towns that surrounded the area.

Hannah tugged at the outfit she was wearing, it was red and blue spandex. This was probably the closest she was ever going to get to an X-men uniform. She wondered briefly if Angela had one yet.

At least Angela was safe, I wasn't so hard baring things if she knew that her twin was in a safe environment.

Her parents were in the stands and if she did well they'd boast that she was their child to anyone who'd listen. Of course it left her on her own and Hannah couldn't read the signs around her to find out when she was on.

"Excuse me" She stopped a girl walking past who was also wearing spandex "Could you tell me when I'm on?"

The girl looked up at the board

"What's you name?" She asked

"Hannah Rhodes" Hannah muttered embarrassedly

"You're up in 20 minutes, you're near the end" The girl shrugged and walked off, probably to practise.

Hannah knew that she should too but there was no point. She knew the piece inside and out already and though her body was still getting used to it's new work out every day it was doing fine. Besides, she was too nervous.

She wanted to run but they'd find her again, she knew it. Hannah was trapped and it was taking all her will power not to loose hope. None of this mattered to her really, it was all controlled too much. She allowed herself to think back to the huge gym that had been in the institute.

Bliss

She wondered if Angela or Kurt was using it right now. Yeah, that's probably what they were doing.

*

"I can't see her anywhere!" Angela cried

"Well, we've still got time. Hannah's not on for another 15 minutes" Kurt said hopefully "How are you doing with finding her?"

"There are too many people! I can't pick her out!" Angela sighed sadly "My stupid powers!"

"Hey! Calm down, we're gonna find her" Kurt comforted her

"I hope so, and we'd better- Ah!!" Angela grabbed Kurt and pulled them both behind a bench

"What is it?" Kurt asked quietly

"My parents, they're in the stands just to our right" Angela explained quickly. "It's vital they don't see us or recognise us, I don't know what they'd do to Hannah"

They both exchanged worried glances.

"Where else haven't we searched?" Kurt asked

"There's still a lot left, try to keep your head down and lets move" Angela muttered and began to drag him along behind the bench.

Hannah was now stretching her muscles in the backstage area. She was up very soon and nausea had started to settle in. She was scared. She hadn't practised enough, her muscles weren't ready for the strain. The fear was like a block of ice in her chest and Hannah started to shake. She sat quietly on the floor and waited to be called.

Someone near her must have noticed, because a man stooped beside her and asked

"Are you okay?"

Hannah nodded shakily

"Nervous?"

Another nod

"Don't worry about it pet, just do your best and I'm sure you'll do fine" He rested a kind hand on Hannah's shoulder and the gesture was so friendly that Hannah burst into tears.

"She must be in there!" Angela cried pointing at a large tent that was to the left of a large area for the actual performing. "She's on in a few minutes and that's where all the other performers have come from!"

Kurt looked at the tent and could see movement inside but not specifically Hannah

"So you think she's to the right of the...stage? Can you sense her?" He asked

"She's close, she's been all around here though, it's like I can feel what she's been thinking, while standing here I really want to have you with me" Angela looked at him sadly "I'm getting feelings of regret and longing to see us both again that I think I might cry"

Kurt put an arm around the small twin and shook her gently

"Come on, I'll sneak us into the tent and we can get Hannah out of here ASAP" he said confidently and Angela smiled slowly before pulling him away, trying to find another way into the tent.

**_*_*_*_*_*_*

"Are you on soon?" the nice person asked Hannah as she tried to calm herself down

"Yeah" she nodded

"Then you'd better pull yourself together, you don't want to disappoint your family do you?" he was smiling as he said it but the words chilled Hannah to the bone, she could not reply

She got to her feet and started to walk to a tent on the right hand side of the performing floor

"Hang on dear, I think you're going to the wrong tent. Everyone else came from the other side" The man said

"I'm coming from the other side" Hannah shrugged "My parents always want me to be different"

'Just not too different' Hannah reminded herself

*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*

Angela and Kurt had managed to get around the outside of the tent and had just managed to get inside. Kurt was looking around desperately trying to find Hannah when Angela suddenly gasped and grabbed onto his arm very tightly.

"This isn't right" She said quietly and steadily

"What?" Kurt asked

"She hasn't been here I would have felt it if she had" Angela said slowly "I don't understand where she could..." Her eyes snapped open and she sent a terrified glance at Kurt "She's coming from the other side!" Angela gasped "She's not in this tent!"

Kurt hid his disappointment and hauled her back outside, trying to calm Angela down as she got more and more hysterical

"Okay, no problem, we just have to get to the other..." He trailed off as they both heard the music start and the crowds go silent.

They were too late. It had already begun.

Yay! It's been fun writing after such a long time! My GCSE's are in a few weeks *scared*
