At the sound of those words that Andi had said, Theressa's heart sank
into her stomach and her scare turned a dark green. This news brought back
feelings from long ago. Feelings she felt when her daughters, Jasmine, Anid
and Mian, were taken from her and Chris. Jasmine had never been retured, or
rather retrieved, were, thankfully, Andi and Mian had been. Nothing had
happened to Michael, not yet anyway. The sound of Storm's voice brought Fox
back to earth.
"Where could he have gone?" She was saying.
"Fox, you okay?" Luke asked.
"Yeah... um.....where was the last place you saw him?"
"I last saw him in the garden with Renée." Andi told her mother. "I didn't think anything of it."
"Dammit!" Logan said as he slammed his fist on the table.
"What's wrong dad?" Fox asked.
"The last time I saw the kid, I told him he should stay away from Renée. I told him that I heard her talking to someone earlier. She said something about haven' to get someone's trust first. The guy on the other end told her to hurry and do it. He got mad at me and called me a lier for sayin' things about Renée. Another thing that was weird was that Renée ran out of the room when I came in."
"You know how the boy is with authority, Logan" Scott said
"Well, a lot of people run out of the room when you come in." Scott said. Jean hit him in the chest.
"No. She had a broken leg when she came to the institute three or four days ago. Now, either the kid has powers like me or she's some how taped into her telekinetic powers again."
"Well, I did put a splint on it." Jean said "but it wouldn't relieve the pain, or enable her enough to run. Maybe walk but not run."
"Let's watch the tape. Maybe we can find some answers there." Luke said as Fox handed him the remote and he hit play. While everyone was watching the tape, Theressa moved over to the door and waited. Surely no one expected her to wait here until they figured out a plan? Just as Fox was about to walk out the door, Logan jumped up and yelled at Luke. "Pause it! Pause it!" Luke did as he wished and Theressa walked over to her dad.
"What is it?" Theressa asked, along with every other face in the room.
"That's Renée!" Wolverine said as he pointed to the glowing figure on the screen.
"Luke, can I see the remote?" Theressa asked. Luke nodded and gave it to her. Theressa hit a few buttons and the screen zoomed in on the figure. It appered to be a woman but She wasnt' sure so Fox zoomed in even further. Finally she was saticfied, when she had zoomed it in all the way.
"Well, it appears to be Renée." Beast said as he too stood to his feet to take a better look at the screen. Fox took a good look at the screen and ran out the door. Andi saw her leave so she started to leave as well but Logan stopped her. "Let me talk to her." He said. "Yah know. Father to daughter." Andi agreed and allowed her gramps to pass.
"T," Logan yelled when he caught up with his daughter outside. "T, wait up!" Fox stopped, reluctantly, and waited for her dad to catch up. "Where you going kid?"
"Where do you think I'm going? I'm going to find my son!"
"With out your bike?"
"I'm flying. The bike would only slow me down. Even with all those gadgets Scott and I put on it. I'm going alone! That's that." Theressa began to go into the air when her dad caught her attention again. She saw him run to the back of the mansion and soon saw the blackbird come up above the instate and over to Theressa, who was in the air.
"I'm coming and you don't have to like it!" Logan said. He saw Theressa take off and disappear up ahead.
Why do you have to do this? She asked
Do what? Wolverine asked. He remembered when he had asked Fox that very question. She was twelve and didn't want to look weak. She still didn't. That's one thing she got from him.
Why do you have to be so stubborn?
Because I can. Besides I recall a certain daughter of mine who is just as bad. Where are you?
Ahead of you.
Any sign of Michael?
No. I'm doing a mind scan right now.
Pickin' up any thin'?
No. It's like he just fell off the face of the earth.
What if he isn't on earth? Logan hinted.
Yah mean like what happened with Andi?
Yeah. What if aliens caught him?
You make it sound like he was off gallivanting through unknown territory. I mean, he was in the garden right?
Yeah.
So how could a huge spacecraft abduct Michael without anyone hearing?
Stealth shields? Logan joked.
Dad, no one has stealth shields like that. Actually no one has stealth shields period.
How do you know?
I just do, okay.
A few moments of silence passed when Wolverine saw Fox flying in front of him.
What's wrong? He asked as he shut the bike off.
Storm clouds up a head. It doesn't look pretty. She told him. This shocked him. He thought his daughter would continue to look for her son no matter what. "Well, hope in and we'll go back.
Who said anything about going back?
You did. Didn't yah?
No. I told you that so you would let me in and I could fly that bird and put a shield around it. I don't think it can stand the hail and lightning in that storm. Theressa saw her father nod his head as he lowered the ramp. She flew in and took over the pilot's seat while her dad took the co-pilot's seat. Theressa flew the Blackbird right into the storm. Then, in the middle of the storm Fox spotted Michael and a young Woman known as Renée. Theressa got out of her seat and opened the ramp.
"T, what are you doing? Yah ain't goin' out there are yah?"
"Of course I'm going out there. That's my son and I have to save him. This is a job for the Black Fox and the Black Fox alone." "Fine," Logan said as he threw a con-link to Fox. "Just keep your com-link on in case I see something." "Deal."
"Where could he have gone?" She was saying.
"Fox, you okay?" Luke asked.
"Yeah... um.....where was the last place you saw him?"
"I last saw him in the garden with Renée." Andi told her mother. "I didn't think anything of it."
