Within fifteen minuets Theressa and Logan had covered the three miles
that it took to get to down town Hanes, county. That is if you could say it
has a down town area. Hanes, County was a very small town. It's so small
that everyone knows everybody.
"Okay we're here. La Plaza de Cortez."
"This is it? I was expecting something more high class than this old run down shack".
"The plaza was a plain one story building with broken window's and doors. The roof had even fallen in. Xavier said that the Plaza has been out of busissness for at least five years. Cerebro said that the mutant is somewhere around here.
Theressa got off the bike and took her helmet off. When she did this her hair fell past her shoulders and stopped at her waist. She had even gotten it highlighted. Jean had taken her to get it done when she got her hair cut a few months ago. Logan looked at the young woman in front of him. She had on a blue strapless suit and matching boots. She had taken her leather jacket off on the ride over her because she had gotten hot but when she was putting it back on something caught Logan's eye when Theressa moved her right arm. It was a tattoo. It was a picture of a green vine that wrapped around her forearm and stopped at her elbow. The vine had red and blue flowers on it. Logan could not believe that she had gotten a tattoo.
"So did Scottie-boy let you get that tattoo?"
"Not exactly. I kind of snuck out with John, also called Pyro, and Havok, or Alex summers a few nights ago."
"I always knew you would be trouble. So did Scottie-boy and Chuck really lay it on you when y'all got back?"
"Let's just say we are band form using any of the games in the game room forever and we have to help Cyclops everyday with the garage and then he trains us in the danger room on level 10. Although it's simulation danger not real danger and Havok is getting the worst of it since he is Scott's younger brother."
Logan could only shack his head as he got off of the motorcycle and put the helmet on the seat.
"So, do you know what we are looking for?" Logan said trying to get the conversation back on track.
"Yeah somewhat but not really. All I know is that he or she can generate explosive five balls out of her hands and if we don't get to he or she first She or he could wind up alone and lost. I forgot to mention the fact that he or she could blow up a five story building with one exploding fire ball."
Just then Logan heard a noise. It sounded like someone had knocked over a bunch of garbage cans.
"Theressa, I think I heard something..........."
Theressa was way ahead of him. She was already running to the ally way. Logan got back on the motorcycle and rode it across the street and beat Theressa to the ally. She saw Logan get off of the motorcycle and stared walking past her. Fox shock her head and spoke telepathically.
Logan, let me go in first. If it is who we think it is we don't want to scare her out of her mind. Theressa said making refrince to Logan's wild wolf like appereince. It took Logan to catch it but when he did Theressa was out of sight.
Hey I resent that! Wolverine said telepathically. He 'heard' a soft laugh. After awhile of walking down the ally way she found the young mutant that they were looking for. Suddenly Theressa's cerebro went off. It scared her so much that she must have jumped at least a foot in the air. It also got the attention of the mutant in front of her. When the mutant turned around Theressa saw that it was a young girl not much older than twelve.
"Who are you?" The girl asked in horror.
"I'm Black Fox."
"Who are you?" Theressa asked
"I'm Tabitha."
The next thing Theressa knew Tabitha was screaming her head off.
"Leave me alone! What did I ever do to you?"
"Calm down. What is the mater?" Theressa asked courously.
"Him. It's him. He's been chasing me all night. Please don't let him take me!"
Theressa turned around ready to fight but the only person she saw was Wolverine.
"Logan I thought I asked you to stay at the bike?"
"Oh you did but I thought I saw someone come in after you. Who's this?" Wolverine asked pointing to Tabitha, who was hiding behind Theressa.
"This is who we have been looking for. Her name is Tabitha." Theressa said in a low wisper. She says that you have been chasing her all night."
Wolverine got the message. He knew who they were looking for now. He had to keep all scenes sharp. Theressa turned to Tabitha, knelt down next to her and said. "Calm Down! It's alright. We won't hurt you. We are here to help you with your gift."
"Yah, if you can call shooting exploding Fire balls a gift."
Fox spun around on her heals. Her scar was now flicering bright red with fury.
"Wolverine! We are here to help her. Remember, or do you not have a brain to remember with?" That shut Wolverine up. Theressa turned her attention back to Tabitha.
"Well, Tabitha, we are here to give you an offer that you can't refuse. If you come with us our profferssor will be able to help you with your gift. So what do you say? Will you come with us?"
Tabitha was unsure about it at first but somehow she knew that she could trust Theressa and maybe even Wolverine. Somehow she knew that these people were the good guys.
"Okay. I'll go. Can your proffessor really cure me of this curse?"
"He can't cure you but he can help you along and help you develop your powers."
"Why can't he cure me?" Tabitha asked
"Because being a mutant is not a desies like cancer where it can be treated and possobly put into rermition. Being a mutant is who you are and who you are becoming. It is a good thing trusts me." Theressa answered.
"It is only a cures if you allow it to be. Think of it as a gift. A gift that allows you to do demolition work." Wolverine added. Theressa was suprised that he actually said something.
"Wow! you must be enjoying this more that you are letting on."
"Yeah, well, I am. Okay there I attmited it. Are you happy?"
"Yes. Although if you enjoy it so much then why did you leave in the first place?"
Theressa knew that she could get the answer by reading his mind but she wasn't going to do that because Logan's mind wasn't exactly pleasent to say the least. It was confusing, cold, and a dark place even to the greatest telepath on the planet. Just then a figure jumped over the brick wall that is behind Logan, Tabitha , and Theressa.
"There you are." The figure said. "I've been looking all over for you. Now it is time to get to business."
Theressa and Logan recognized the voice to be that of Cyclops, but Wolverine smelt the scent of another.
"Tabitha go to my motorcycle and wait there until Logan or I say other wise." Theressa screamed and Tabitha did as she was told. "Cyclops what the heck are you doing? WE are her to help the girl not kill her or scare her out of her mind."
"This ain't Scotty-boy, kid. This is the one and the only mistress of descise, Mystique! "
"Nice observation Wolverine." Mystique said as she changed into her true form. She had indigo skin and red hair. She wore a leather top and a very short leather skirt and her belly was exposed. "You always did have a nose for things. This time I thought I had actually fooled you. I mean with Black Fox sending the girl to 'safty' and all."
"What do you mean?" Snapped Theressa.
Within the last few minuets Tabitha had become somewhat of a little sister for Theressa. She was not bound to let anyone get there hands on Tabitha. Not with out a fight.
"I mean," Mystique said. "I was the decoy and my pal Sabertooth had to get the girl. Thanks again for your corporation."
Wolverine tuned to Fox and said "T you go get the girl. Make sure she is alright. I'll take care of Blue lips."
He watched Theressa run back toward her bike and then turned back around.
"Hey, where'd she go?" He said.
How am I suppose to know? All I know is that I have to save her before Sabertooth kills her. He took her. Theressa said telepathically as she got on her motorcycle.
No, Not the kid. Mystique. Wolverine replied and was answered by Mystique's distant voice.
"I'll be back to settle the score Wolverine!"
"Yeah, and it will go in my favor!" Wolverine yelled at the top of his lungs.
When Wolverine got to Theressa he asked. "T, call Chuck and ask him for reinforcements. I think we are going to need a little more man power than what we've got."
"Okay we're here. La Plaza de Cortez."
"This is it? I was expecting something more high class than this old run down shack".
"The plaza was a plain one story building with broken window's and doors. The roof had even fallen in. Xavier said that the Plaza has been out of busissness for at least five years. Cerebro said that the mutant is somewhere around here.
