"Mom have you seen Uncle Logan?" Andi asked as she walked out side and sat next to her mother on the verana.
"No Andi I haven't. Shouldn't you two be training?" Theressa replied as she thumbed threw a pile of graded papers.
"Yeah I went to the danger room a half hour ago but no one was there. So I waited but I got tired of waiting so I went to find him."
"Did you check the garage?" Theressa set the papers down and looked her daughter in the eye.
"No. Why would I do that?"
"Awhile back when I was your age he use to take his or Scott's motorcycle and leave with out telling anybody. So go check the garage first. Then come back and tell me if its there or not."
Andi ran off towards the house. A few minutes later Scott and Chris came out. Andy asked her dad to help her find Logan so they both went back in side. Scott walked over to Theressa and sat next to her.
"Morning Theressa. What's wrong?" Scott asked as he looked at Theressa's scar. It had gone from a baby blue to a yellow.
"Andy just came out here and told me that she can't find Logan."
"Isn't he suppose to be training her?"
"Yeah, That's what I don't understand. He loves working with Andy. He told me so last week. Did he leave last night?"
"Now that I think of it Jean, Logan, Mian, and Nightcrawler went on a mission last night. They should be back some time today." Theressa's scar turned a dark green. "Don't worry Fox. She'll be all right. Logan will take care of her and if he doesn't the I know Jean will. Besides we all thought Mian was ready."
"I guess your right Scott. What was their mission any way?"
"I don't know but it probably had something to do with rescuing another mutant from a bunch of humans. Don't worry they will be fine. I've got to get back to the garage." Scott said as he got up and went down the stairs. Theressa stopped him when He was on the last step.
"Hey Cyke?"
"Yeah?"
"Fix my bike while you're in there. Would yah? I need more mileage. Maybe an acceleration button."
"I thought you all ready had one of those."
"I did until Chris ran it into the lake. I got it running again but I just can't rewired all the High-Tec stuff. I'm not half the machinate you are." Scott smiled. He had taught her everything she needed to know about cars and such during her probation fro getting a tattoo with out permission and for snicking out of the house in the middle of the night. Her accomplices got the worst end of it. especially Havok, if you consider the fact that Scott is Havok's older brother.
"Okay I'll work on your bike."
Soon after Scott left Chris and Andy came back. "Mom I can't find Unc. Claws or Mian. She's not in her class."
"She's with Logan. They went on a mission with Jean and Nightcrawler."
"That's what I told her." Chris said.
"You knew that Mian had left?" Theressa asked.
"Yeah, but I didn't know Logan had left. Don't be mad Theressa." Chris said as his wife's Scare turned red then to purple. Theressa then turned to her daughter.
"Andy go to the danger room."
"Why? Uncle Logan isn't here."
"I'm going to train you today."
"Really? Okay cool!" When Andy was out of sight Theressa began to talk.
"Am I such a bad mother that you think you can't tell me when my own daughter is going on a mission? Am I so over protective that you had to keep it a secret?" Theressa's scar changed from purple to red.
"No. No, you are not a bad mom. This was just really important to her. I thought she could do it. I still do. Don't you?"
"Yes, and that is the point!"
"What is? Would you point it out I totally missed it."
"The point is I know Mian is capable of going on missions and I would have let her go if you had just told me! WE always talk things over before one of us actually does something. The thing that really pushes my buttons is that you thought you had to keep this from me! No if you will excuse me I have to go help Andrea." Theressa said as she stood up, grabbed her papers and turned to leave but Chris stood up and grabbed her hand.
"Honey, I would have told you if I knew that it would have made you this angry. I promise the next time I will tell you." Chris pulled Theressa close to him and kissed her.
"Promise?" Theressa said after the kiss.
"Promise!" Theressa kissed her husband one last time and ran off to change into her X-suit.
