The first few hours were silent. The only thing that changed was Theressa's scar. It went from dark green to dark blue to red to purple and then back to red. Finally Chris broke the silence.
"T, do you know where your going? I mean do you know where in Canada?" Theressa only shock her head. Then she said, "If my Mian is dead I'll......... I don't know what I'll do but I'll do something! This thing is going too slow!"
Theressa pushed two buttons. One for speed and one for rocket busters. Soon Scott saw a glimpse of what he thought to be a fire.
"Fox, land here. I think I see the Copter." Theressa did as Scott asked and they all got out.
"At least what is left of the Copter." Chris said as they looked at the fiery ruins. There where no bodies in sight but Fox was determined to find her daughter and her friends. Chris and Scott knew she would let nothing get in the way of her goal. So the two men decided that it was best to step back and let her take control.
"Boy is this a time when we really need Storm." Scott said.
The weather witch could put this fire out in an instant. As where the three of them would only feed it. They had no choice but to leave the fire and go home, but Theressa started to lifted the pieces up with her Teke powers and looked underneath them but found nothing.
Back at the Mansion
"Auntie O, I finished my homework. Can I go talk with Kitty?""Yes but stay away from the danger room. Neither Logan nor your mother is here. I don't want you to hurt yourself or the machinery.
Back in Canada
"Scott, where are they?" Theressa asked with a growl of impatiens in her voice."I don't know Fox. I don't know." Scott replied
Chris was leaned up against the H2 as he watched Theressa and Scott pace back and forth in front of him.
"Wait!" Chris said. "Wolverine said that they ran into some old friends."
"What does that have to do with any thing?" Theressa asked.
"Wait Theressa. This has to do with everything. If we could figure out who struck the others down then we might be able to find them or at least their bodies." Scott said as he paced.
"There's a thought. Got any ideas as to who?" Theressa asked.
"What if it was....................." Scott stopped pacing and stood in front of Theressa. "Sentinels!"
"What the heck is a sentinel?" Theressa asked. Unexpectedly Chris answered. "Sentinels are robots that hunt and kill mutants."
"Chris how did you know that?" Scott asked.
"Well, at S.H.I.E.L.D. we would get shipments of them everyday."
"How many?" Theressa asked.
"A hundred a day but that program was shut down about a month before I left. I don't understand how there could be more."
"Could S.H.I.E.L.D. have kept one so they could make more after the program was terminated?" Scott asked.
"No!"
"Chris, honey, how can you be so sure?" Theressa asked lovingly.
"Because I cleaned out all of the Sentinels. I personally destroyed every last one."
"Maybe y'all should look up?" Theressa said. "We've got company."
Back at the mansion
Andy and Kitty ran down the hall to the danger room. Kitty was doing more pulling than Andy wanted her to."Stop kitty! I told you I can't go in there. Auntie o said I couldn't since Uncle Logan and my mom aren't here."
"Oh come on Andy." Kitty said. They were right out side the danger room door.
"I promised Auntie O. I can't."
"Oh come on and stop being a baby." Kitty got a better grip on Andy's arm and phased through the door. "What harm can come of it?" Kitty asked.
When Andy opened her eyes Kitty was standing in front of her. Then behind Kitty was a woman that Andy had never seen before.
"Kitty, I think we better go."
"Why?"
"Look behind you. There's a stranger in here." When kitty turned around she saw a woman with blond hair and blue eyes.
"Andy, she has a suit just like your mom's." The woman's suit had one sleeve and the top was slanted to the left. The only difference was Theressa's suit was black and the woman's was green.
"Don't be afraid." The woman said. "I want to offer you something Andrea. I want to offer you a chance to start your whole life over and gain power."
"On the count of three run." Andy said. There was a pause. "THREE."
Kitty grabbed Andy's hand and once more phased threw the door. The two girls ran to the elevator and once on the second floor they ran until they couldn't run anymore.
"Who was that?" Kitty asked.
"Who was what?" A voice said from around the corner
"That's Auntie O." Andy said.
"Yes it is." Kitty said.
"Where going to have to tell her." Andy sighed
"Tell me what Andrea?"
Back in Canada
"Surrender yourselves. Resistance is futile!" The Sentinels said in unicen.
"You want a bet?" Fox said. Her scar was now a reddish color. Are these the guys you where talking about? Theressa asked Scott and Chris telepathically.
Yeah! I suggest that you do what they say or we could end up dead like the others. Scott said with a sense of fear in his voice.
Scott, how much do you want to bet that Fox is going to do the exact opposite of what you just told her? I mean don't you know her by know?
I heard that! Theressa said.
At the Mansion:
Storm stood in front of Kitty and Andrea. She could only shack her head. "Andrea you broke your promise. I guess we can deal with that later. Now what did you say about the danger room?"
"There is someone in there. She said that she was here to offer Andrea a chance to start her life over, whatever that means." Kitty said.
"I don't even know the woman and yet she knows my name." Andy said in a scared tone.
"I'm sure it was just a simulation."
"Auntie O how many simulations have you come across, that you've never seen before, that know your name?"
"Good point. Let's go check it out." Storm said.
When they got to the door of the danger room Storm placed her hand on a panel and it traced her hand. When the doors opened a voice welcomed her.
"Hello Orroro. Level 8?"
"No not now. Maybe later." They walked to the center of the room. "See, what did I tell you? there is nothing here."
"Don't speak too soon Auntie O. Look behind you." Storm turned around and saw the woman high up in the air.
"Jasmine?"
"Surprised to see me Storm?"
"What business do you have here?"
"Funny you should mention that. I went to the darkside, as you put it So,I have taken the liberty to gather the next two in line. Andrea and Miandrea."
