Theressa was sitting on the couch between Storm and Chris. Wolverine stood at the entrance of the room. Jean was opposite of them, Scott stood behind Jean. Xavier was in the center of the room, facing Mystique, while Sabertooth was in the shadows leaning up against the window.

"What is this all about?" Xavier asked Mystique in a very harsh tone.

"Someone's after us." Sabertooth answered.

"Isn't someone always after us?" Wolverine asked while he kept an eye on Sabertooth.

"After the X-men yes. After the Brotherhood no. The creature won't show us his face or even tell us his name. The only thing that I heard is that he is coming and he will get what he wants." Theressa's head came up and her eyes opened wide.

"Theressa what is it?" Jean asked.

"He's here!"

"Who?" Chris asked as he took Theressa's hand in his.

"The creature from my dream. He's here!!" Theressa cried as she ran out of the room. Chris, Scott, and Jean ran after Theressa.

When Chris opened the bedroom door he found the room destroyed and a crying and angry Theressa lying on the floor.

"What happened?" Scott asked as he looked about the room. There were holes in the wall and a nearby lampshade was on fire. Chris walked over to Theressa and sat down next to her. She sat up and laid her head on his shoulder.

"Couldn't stop him! I tried but I couldn't stop him! He took her! Chris, she's gone because I was too slow in getting here to save her. I couldn't stop him!"

"What happened?" Chris repeated Scott's question.

Theressa stood up and walked into the bathroom and back out. She continued to babble about how she couldn't stop the creature. Chris stood up and looked at Jean, who telekinetically grabbed Theressa and let go when Chris had a hold of her.

"Theressa, What happened?" Chris said as he firmly held his wife in his arms. She took a deep breath and finally calmed down enough to talk.

"I had a feeling that someone was here and that Jasmine was in trouble. So I....... ran up here to find the creature with Jasmine in his arms. It was so dark I could hardly make out his body, but I saw enough to know where he was and blasted him with five powerful lasers. He turned around and slapped me. I was thrown into the wall. The next thing I knew the creature and Jasmine were gone." Theressa paused as she struggled for control. "Her crib had been over turned by the creature but out of my anger I did every thing else. Oh Chris what are we going to do?"

Chris couldn't think of anything to say but he knew Theressa wanted to go kill the thing that took Jasmine. He could see it in her face as her scar began to turn bright red. He only nodded at her. He somehow knew, without speaking or the use of telepathy, where she was going and what she wanted to ask. Chris nodded and allowed her to walk out of the room. When she was on the elevator she decided to tell Chris something.

I'm going alone and I don't want to be followed.

At least take Logan! Chris begged his grieving wife.

No!! Was her only reply.
