A.N: Look who's back! First story I've updated in over a year I think, probably longer than that. I'm hoping on finishing this one. This chapter is a bit sketchy but give me a chance, haven't done any writing in a while. Please review.

Chapter 3: Trouble
Scott lay there helpless gasping for breath while a puddle of blood emerged from beneath his leg. "Why…why are you doing this?"
The figure chuckled and paced evilly towards him. "That would be telling, now like I said. Just relax and everything will be fine."
"How can I relax when I'm lying here bleeding?" Scott quickly reached for his visor to fire a beam at his opponent but was beaten by a kick to his face. "You're starting to annoy me Scott. Now, this won't hurt a bit…" Before Scott could do anything he had a needle in him and was being injected with some drug that knocked him out.
"Sweet dreams…"

Ororo lay peacefully in the garden under a tree. The sun was high in the sky glowing a beautiful yellow and releasing a scorching golden ray down onto her tanned skin. She could hear the birds chirping above her while a gentle wind blew against her face. It was an amazing day. Sometimes she wished she were like everybody else so she could go out and enjoy nature's beauty all the time. Then again being a mutant she could conjure a beautiful sunny day whenever she liked.
"Storm…" a voice whispered from behind. "Hello Kurt."
"Lovely day isn't it?" He said before taking a seat.
"It's fantastic, I love it when it's like this."
"You can have this weather whenever you like though."
"I know, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate it." There was a brief silence between the two. "…I'm sorry about this morning."
"Wha- Oh, don't worry about it. Next time try knocking though." Ororo smiled before resting her head on Kurt's shoulder. "Storm I…you an…I don't know how to…" He shook his head. "Please Kurt. Lets not-" Before she could finish her sentence her friend had planted his lips upon hers.
A cough interrupted the two. "Professor!" Ororo exclaimed before pushing Kurt off her. "We were just-"
"Scott still hasn't come back, I'm concerned." Xavier cut in ignoring her, accompanied with a disapproving expression. "I was wondering if maybe you and-" He paused and looked across at Kurt. "Never mind." He turned his wheelchair around and headed in the opposite direction.
"Wait!" Storm ran after him. "Did you want me to go look for him?"
"If you're not busy."
"Of course not."
"Good. I'll ask Logan to go with you." He smiled before disappearing back inside the school building. Storm turned around to find her blue friend had gone.

"Doesn't he look peaceful when he's sleeping?"
"You fool! Now they will come looking for him. You know that!"
"It's not my fault. He followed me, and I couldn't leave him. If someone had found him then our plan would be ruined."
"Yes well if you'd been more careful then this wouldn't have happened."
"Maybe you should have gone yourself then."
"Well my dear I don't have the same powers as you. Now, wait until he wakes up and then rid us of him."

Scott and Logan were preparing the jet for take off. Xavier had located Scott somewhere near an abandoned church using Cerebro. "I hope he's okay, the state he's in he's probably done something stupid."
Logan grunted.
"Come on I know you two don't get on but he needs support, support from all of us. He's finding it difficult to cope. Can't you put your differences aside?"
"And you don't think I'm struggling too? Jean was…she…" Logan stopped.
"I know." Storm said sympathetically. She pushed a few buttons on the control panel and then closed the jets door. Suddenly the sound of a bamf caught her ear. "Logan prepare for take off while I go in the back and get something." He gave her a weird look before changing seats.
Ororo headed to the back of the jet and looked under the seats. Under one was Kurt hiding. "What are you doing?!" She yelled.
"Ahhhhh!" Kurt screamed and hit his head. "I'm sorry, I just-"
"I don't care, this is getting ridiculous. You've already got me in trouble once today. Logan and me are going to find Scott, stay here and do something useful."
"But-"
"Go!"
Kurt looked hurt and dropped his head before a cloud of smoke appeared and he disappeared.
"Is everything okay back here?" Logan asked popping his head around the corner.
"Yea. Come on, we have got to get going."
