"I can't believe I let him talk me into this." Scott said as he and
storm crawled through the ventilation system in the institute.
"I swear if hurts Jean I..".
"Just because I'm not there doesn't mean I can't hear what you are saying Cyke. Next time, turn your communicator off." Logan commented as he spoke through his own communicator.
Cyclops reached up to his ear and turned his 'phone' off in frustration.
Jean wanted me to tell me you that you need to keep your communicator on at all times.
Logan? How the heck are you talking to me?
Jean has us linked. She has everyone linked at all times.
Why didn't Jean just tell me herself?
Because I asked her if I could tell you. Turn on your communicator now, Cyke.
Fine! With that Logan was gone and Scott's communicator was back on.
"Cyke, I won't do anything to harm Jean. I give you my word."
"Logan, Just shut the heck up and do your job!"
"What is my job exactly?"
"Logan stop horse playing! Your job is to get in there, destroy the devise that is supposed to destroy the world, and get out. Logan remember, try not to kill anyone unless it is absolutely necessary."
"Whatever you say, boss."
"Scott Where here." Storm said as she lowered herself from the vent and on to the floor of the lower level.
"I can't believe the doors were locked." Storm said.
"I can." Scott said. "I just hope Mystique hasn't harmed any of the children."
"I thought the children were on vacation with their families?"
"Most of them are. All except, Colossus, Siryn, Aqua, Jubilee, Bobby, Rogue and Pyro."
"What? How could you be so irresponsible and leave them in a mansion with two very evil people and Xavier nowhere in sight?"
"We didn't leave them totally alone. Plus it was actually very easy if you consider the fact that Jean and Theressa could die if we had made one wrong move."
"Really. Who was in charge?"
"Margaret."
"Who is Margaret?"
"Theressa's mother. Long story. To make a summary of it. Her father blew their house up. Margaret is living here for now. Theressa's father is the guy we are fighting. Is that short enough for you?"
"Yes, I believe so." Storm didn't sound convinced but she didn't argue any further. "What makes you think Xavier is here anyway?" Storm asked Scott curiously.
"It's just a feeling. He's like a father to me. I just know that he's here somewhere".
"Maybe we should split up? I could go check on the students while you look for Xavier."
Scott was about to say no when his gaze met that of Storm's pretty blue eyes. Somehow Storm and Jean always found his soft spot and pleaded until he finally gave way.
"Fine," Scott said with a sigh. "but be careful. If you see or hear anything out of the ordinary, tell me."
"Got it."
Scott made his way to cerebro's doors. The only person who could open it was Xavier but there was an emergency code that only Scott and Jean knew. Scott punched the code in and the doors opened with a cheerful
"Welcome Professor."
Scott walked in to the big round room.
At the end of the platform was the machine that Xavier used to track new mutants. Scott looked down at the pit below. Something was different but he couldn't figure it out.
"This is why I don't like splitting up because as soon as you do one of you always finds what you are looking for and sometimes what you don't want to run into."
Scott wanted to go down and find the bottom of the pit but if Xavier was down there how could he get both of them back up? How could he get back up even if Xavier wasn't down there?
"Storm," Scott said into his communicator. "Can you meet me at Cerebro? I think I found what we are looking for."
"I swear if hurts Jean I..".
"Just because I'm not there doesn't mean I can't hear what you are saying Cyke. Next time, turn your communicator off." Logan commented as he spoke through his own communicator.
