Bang, Bang, Bang went the noise that woke Jean up.
"Scott," Jean wispered to the only half asleep man next to her.
"What?"
"Someone is at the door."
"At this time of night?"
Scott threw on a shirt and replaced his goggles for his glasses. He walked over to the door and opened it.
"Logan, What's wrong?" Scott asked as he looked at Wolverine's face. It was full of anger, fear, and sadness.
"She's gone Cyke, He took her! She's gone." was all Logan could manage to say.
By now Jean was at the door next to Scott. She was wearing her green night gown that seemed to bring out her eyes more. She looked at Wolverine and closed her eyes as she read his mind. When she finished she opened her eyes and darted to Theressa's room. Scott was right behind her. They saw the exact same thing that Wolverine did. Once again Jean closed her eyes and searched for two people. She found Theressa's roommate Aqua in the kitchen with Storm, eating a bowl of ice cream. As hard as Jean tried she couldn't find Theressa anywhere.
"She's gone but Aqua is still here." Jean said to Scott.
"Who took her Logan, Who?"
"X-Cutioner." Jean answered.
Xavier was down stairs in the living room when Logan, Scott, and Jean ran in.
"Chuck," Wolverine said. "Fox is gone."
"Gone. How? I haven't heard anyone leave."
"X-cutioner took her."Scott said out of breath.
"Why?" Xavier asked.
"I think it's because she wouldn't go with him and Cobra a few days ago." Jean answered. "They must be taking what they want. We have to do something. The girl is only seventeen."
"True, but I'm sure it's nothing that she can't handle. The kid's tough." Wolverine said.
"Yeah but the question is if she is strong enough." Scott said arguing with Wolverine.
"Let's stop talking and start doing something about it. How did X-Cutioner leave earlier?" Xavier asked.
"He vanished into thin air." Jean answered.
"So what. The guy can pull old fashion magic tricks. What does that have to do with anything?" Wolverine said.
"It has to do with everything, Logan. If he vanished then, why didn't he vanish now?" Xavier asked himself as he traveled in his wheelchair around the room.
"What makes you so sure he didn't?" Scott asked.
"If I remember correctly, X-Cutioner draws his power from the energy around him. Particularly that of the sun. Now, with the moon out instead of the sun there is less energy. Definetlynot enough energy to transpot two people plus all of his weapandry. If he came alone then Apocolipse's base would have to be close by." Xavier cocluded.
"What if it is a trap? What if they want us to come after them?"
"Well, Jean" Scott said. "That is a risk that we have to take."
"Scott," Jean wispered to the only half asleep man next to her.
"What?"
"Someone is at the door."
