Nick Fury turned from the moniter (that showed The Black Fox on her motorcycle) and walked out of one door and stopped when he came to the 'secret' room. He knocked and was greeted by a deep voice.
"Enter!"
When Fury did, he saw a man standing around a table looking at his plans. The man wore a dark red suit with a dark purple cape and a helmet to keep the pesky telepaths away.
"Report Fury. I don't have all day!"
"The Black Fox is on her way. No one is following her. She is under my complet control."
"Good. Keep me posted! We have given them enough information. They will come."
"Very well." Fury said as he turned and left the room.
Everyone was in the library when they heard the front door open and slam as hard as it could. No one said anything but, they all knew Wolverine was back and knew that he wasn't happy. It was now seven in the morning and Storm had taken the Knight kids back to bed. They assumed she had gone back to bed herself because she never came back. Chris was passing the room. Jean and Beast were sitting on the sofa and Scott was standing next to where Jean sat. Xavier was in the middle of the room, thinking as he usually did with a situation like this one. Scott asumed he was thinking about how to find Theressa if Wolverine hadn't found her but Scott knew that Xavier knew what had happened and still he said nothing. Logan came in swearing. He cursed himself for not going after her, letting her go and for running like a coward.
"What happened?" Chris asked at the sight of Logan in the door way.
"She got away."
"Didn't your plan work?" Jean asked. Scott had told everyone of Wolverine's plan after he had gotten Mikie on the visual com- link.
"It did but not for long. Fury regained control but before that, she told me to get the heck out of there." Wolverine let out a sigh that no one in the room had heard him do before.
"What?" Chris asked.
"She doesn't think she can ever come back if she ever regains control."
"What the heck has gotten in to her head?" Chris asked as he went to the window.
"She's afraid Chris!" Wolverine said still standing in the doorway. "She's afraid of hurting you or any one else physically."
"What about emotionally? Does she realise what this will do to the kids?" Chris shouted. Everyone understood his anger and felt that he had a right to be angry but Wolverine knew he needed to calm down. Wolverine walkd over to Chris and stood right behind him and placed on hand on his sojn-in-law's shoulder. He normally didn't like Chris but this was the one time where he had no other choice.
"Yeah. She does." Wolverine said finally after a long silence. "That's what was so hard about her desition."
"As long as I have known Theressa," Xavier said. "She has been afraid that she would hurt someone she loved. Now that fear has come back to haunt her after it has lied dormant all these years."
"I didn't relise that she was so scared." Scott said.
"No one did except Wolverine and I." Xavier said.
"Why didn't she tell me?" Chris said. "Maybe if she had told me then I could have helped her."
"You have to understand, Chris, She felt that if she told you then that would mean that she was weak and useless. She also knew she had more to lose now than she did when she was twelve years old. She is always trying to protect others from everything and from herself."Xavier said. "I fear one day that will be her undoing."
"What do we do know?" Jean asked. "I mean if Cerebro didn't work and if looking for her didn't work then what the heck are we suppose to do?" Jean was getting aggetated. Everyone in the room knew good and well when Jean was angry or upset.
"We do it my way!" Scott said. He turned to Wolverine. "Fox took her motorcycle right?" He knew that the question was a stupid one but he had to know fo sure.
"Yeah but what does that have to do with anything?" Wolverine replied. Without answering Wolverine's question, Scott ran out of the room.
Everyone exchanged confused glances and followed Scott.
