That night someone crept about the Institute. Theressa had awoken from the nightmare when a strange feeling came upon her.
"I better not wake Chris." She thought. "He is just as spooked as I am about this whole thing. Maybe even more."
Theressa opened the door and stepped out into the unlit hallway. Suddenly a flashing red light lit up the hallway. It was the alarm that Xavier used to call them to a mission. The weird thing was that there was no sound. Normally a ear screeching sound accompanied the red light.
"Some thing is not right here!"
Just then a creature landed on the window seal that Theressa's back was turned to. Theressa turned around to see an ugly gargoyle like creature. The window opened and the Creature flew in. As soon as the creature landed, it changed form. It changed into Mystique. She wore her usual black leather top and skirt and matching boots.
"What do you want?" Theressa snapped. Like Wolverine, she had never trusted the shape-shifter.
"That I believe is none of your business." Mystique said it so loud that it woke Logan and Chris.
"Fox!" Chris said as he came out into the hallway. "What is going on?" Chris startled Theressa at first because he hadn't called her Fox in a long time.
"I'm not sure, but the Shape-shifter is here and won't tell me any thing."
"Maybe I can get something out of her." Logan growled as his claws came out and he moved to Theressa's right side while Chris was on the left.
"Wolverine, Stop!" Theressa cried.
"Why?" Wolverine asked, but it was Mystique who answered him.
"Because I am not alone!"
By now Scott and Jean had joined the group. Although it was hard to see, the flashing light helped somewhat. Without any warning Sabertooth jumped into the hall threw the window. Wolverine got angry at the sight of Creed. Without thinking Logan attacked Creed. He ran and dove his razor sharp claws into Sabertooth's chest then his ribs and his lungs. Sabertooth returned the favor by sinking his incredibly sharp fingernails into Wolverine's head but didn't penetrate Logan's adimatium skull. Sabertooth roared and Logan growled. A couple more people came to see what was going on.
"Wolverine! Please!" Theressa begged but he wouldn't listen.
"Believe it or not runt. Me and the lady are here to tell y'all somethin'."
"Is this true Mystique?" Scott asked. She nodded her head. Jean and Theressa looked at each other and reacted in the same way. Theressa grabbed Wolverine with her teke powers while Jean grabbed Sabertooth. By now they were both covered in blood.
"Logan stop this madness." Chris said once Theressa and Jean had a good hold on Logan and Sabertooth. "Now, I say we listen to what Mystique has to say."
"The last time we did that a)my house was blown up and b) Magneto was behind all of this." Theressa said. Chris continued.
"As crazy as it sounds you know I'm right. It's the only way we will gain any knowledge of this situation." Everyone nodded their heads and without a single word moved into the visiting room.
