Chapter 16
Many heads shot back to look behind to where the scream had erupted. In a panic Logan ripped back the belt and turned from the front of the plane now running down the centre of the seats desperately.
"Aurora??" He called, his bare feet still pounding on, making heavy contact with the floor but silent.
Murmurs had become louder, students turning in their seat to look down upon the back of the plane. The remaining X-Men in the plane had lifted from the seats, watching the toilet door curiously.
Logan arrived, he could hear scuffling inside and strangled gasps. He rammed on the door, staring at the woodwork. Again he hit it. The screams were only more desperate as her rescuer signalled entry.
The X-Men were now slowly coming down, some students following interestedly, including Magneto and Mystique. Logan had had enough, he took a step back before he threw his adamantiumed left shoulder to the door, which buckled instantly and fell away to reveal the problem.
Aurora was pinned back against a man who glared viciously at Logan, his hand round Aurora's mouth and his other arm trying to stop her struggling and keep the gold claws far from his flesh. Logan's mouth fell agape. It was Lenny.
The toilet room was a reasonable size for an aircraft so the struggle had obviously been great. Aurora was still struggling when Logan entered.
It only took a few seconds for the image to be inserted to his mind, for emotions began boil and swift anger soared. How dare anyone hurt Aurora, how dare he touch her with his hands and trap her.
"What the hell are you doing?" Logan growled, stepping forward, claws sharply exiting his knuckles.
"Somebody needs to stop you freaks.. flying off with some plan. Gonna do something funny y'all are.. yeah.. think you're so smart.." Muttered Lenny, grabbing firmly onto Aurora as she tried to pull away.
Logan still glared at him, "Let go of her." He said softly, mind holding back the temptation to roar out and attack.
Lenny kept hold of her, out of his belt he now lifted a large spanner and held it viciously over her head, "I ain't gonna let you all get away with this.. I ain't."
Aurora let out a muffled scream pulling more furiously at the sight of the heavy weapon.
Logan however froze in his steps, staring in shock and anger at the spanner that Lenny held so dangerously, the glint in his eyes proved he was ready to go to desperate lengths to solve the 'mutant problem'.
Behind him he heard on the oncoming steps of the rest of the X-Men, he looked behind and shook his head.. the last thing he wanted to do was provoke Lenny.
Logan didn't know what to do, he could feel panic overcoming his chest. His mind urged him to run forward and drag her from his wrath.. but he might not be quick enough. He couldn't take the risk.. not on Aurora. But suddenly, he felt a brush of material past his left bare arm. His head darted down, glaring at the spot.. but nothing was there.
A muffled yelp caused him to look back up. Lenny was now staggering back before he was sent sideways, then forwards. Aurora ran free from his grip, her silky textured nightdress causing Lenny's feeble grab to miss so easily. Logan was still staring at the staggering Lenny who kept falling in different directions.. it was only when something hit his chest heavily did he look down in surprise to the impact he felt.
Aurora had flung her arms round him, now softly crying, burying her face into the ripped material of his vest. He fought against his mind as his arms slipped round her shoulders. He turned from the toilets, motioning through the crowd of mutants and guiding Aurora gently back down the plane.
Within the bathroom Lenny had fell back against the floor with a groan, beside him appeared Rian, materializing swiftly, he was now frowning viciously upon the slumped form. He then walked away, looking up to meet the expressions of Kurt and Rogue looking in on him. He shrugged momentarily before he moved on through the crowd, finding his back being slapped and hearty cheers to his victory.
Lenny was hoisted up by Kurt, who teleported him back to the front of the jet and dropped him down on the floor heavily. Lenny let out a yelp, rolling over onto his face with a groan.
Logan watched the figure on the floor with intense dislike, his grip now cradling the still rather distressed Aurora who was finally coming round from her crying.
Charles just sighed softly, his head shaking, but he said nothing.
Logan looked over the top of Aurora's head to Charles, "Where we goin' then?"
"I have a niece in Britain. She has followed in my footsteps with the beliefs for mutants. She's doing her best to keep mutant hatred to a minimum."
Logan's brow rose, "Aren't British humans going against every mutant they see?"
Charles now shook his head with a smile, "No.. many still believe mutants to be some old wives tale, or some story. Some mystical thing no one pays much attention to."
Logan now smirked, "Should be nice and quiet for us."
Charles nodded, "But beware.. some do know of us.. some do hate us.. and some are afraid of us. I ask you to not use any powers in public. I'll announce this when we land." Said Charles softly.
Logan now nodded briefly and glanced down to Aurora who had fell silent again him. He looked back to Charles, "How long till we land?"
Charles sighed, "Sometime this evening.. late afternoon at the earliest. "
Logan looked out of his window briefly, "Great.. They better stay well behaved." He muttered, ears flinching to the noisy chatter of students.
"Do you think we'll be safe in Britain.. no people after me?"
Charles shook his head gently, "Like I said.. humans in Britain don't know much about us, it's unlikely. America won't have spread the word." He then looked to Logan, "I know.. I moved to American as soon as I could. I wanted to meet more of our kind... see if any other mutants were experiencing the loneliness and fright that many suffer from at a young age." Charles now looked across to where Scott was now sitting with Kurt, "There was.."
Logan's lips formed a small smile, "You've done a great job.. all these kids."
Charles smiled to the X-Man, "Somebody had to."
Magneto suddenly muttered behind them, Logan spun his head round to see Magneto fast asleep, leaning against the window. Charles smiled, glancing to Logan, "Seems this little escapade has tired out a few." He said, noting the few sleeping students and Magneto.
Logan chuckled under his breath, "Little?" He glanced to Aurora again, she had fell completely silent, still holding onto Logan's nearest arm, "Hey.." Said Logan, looking to Charles then round the plane behind them, "Where's Mystique?"
Charles turned his head and nodded to a group of students who was eagerly chatting to a girl stood in front of them.. that girl then shifted to an older boy and the audience applauded with giggles.
Logan watched a moment, then saying softly, "Do you trust them Charles?"
Charles looked to Logan, his expression falling serious, "I've got to."
