Bobby crawled out of his tent nearby and walked over towards Aira and Jamie who were discussing this turn of events.
Hey guys what's---ah! Aira grabbed him by the arm and pulled him into the huddle.
Bobby! The hat was rigged!
Professor X told them!
They know we're mutants!
He told them we like ancient stuff like this!
Aira and Jamie told him this all at once.
Bobby blinked twice, Ah..come again?
Aira sighed, sometimes Bobby just didn't listen! Professor X rigged the hat so we would go to Egypt and he told these archaeologists that we are mutants, but he never told us that they would know or that we would help them with the expedition! She slowly and calmly explained.
Bobby whispered.
Jamie added in agreement, We were stunned too.
Professor X rigged the hat?
Aira and Jamie nearly collapsed, they shared a look that said, Is he oblivious or what??
So, you guys are up before me?
Jamie and Aira jumped and 6 duplicates turned around with the two.
Calm down! Its just me! Logan was standing behind them. Oh thank goodness.. Aira leaned on of the Jamie's shoulders as she caught her breath, You scared me.
And me! The Jamies added, then Jamie brought them all back in.
So, are we going to go into the pyramids? Bobby asked the others, who had come over.
Yes, but we must do it with the utmost care! Remember, no one has walked these halls in over a thousand years!
No one but the mummies! Bobby laughed and turned to Aira, Run Aira! The mummies are coming for you!
Sorry, to have to correct you Icecube, but I think the mummies better watch out for Aira!
Hey! That's not fair! Aira protested, I would never pick on someone deader then me!
Aira barely noticed it, but Alex seemed to grow uneasy at their joke, and he grabbed his right wrist.
Everyone was laughing so Aira dismissed it as circumstance, but made a mental note--just in case.
Okay everyone! Settle down! Rick said, We all should be very quiet as we enter the tomb!
The small band of adventurers piled into the dune buggy and headed off for the tomb a couple miles up the river.
Aira was squashed between Jamie and Alex.
Aira, do you think the tombs are cursed? Jamie questioned her softly. She thought about her answer for a second and replied.
Jamie, you know what I think?
I don't know if they are cursed or not, but who would do the best job defeating evil mummies and curses, if it was not the X-Men?
Good point, Airy.
I hope you guys are right! Alex said.
Aira and Jamie asked in unison.
Alex smiled, If there are such things as mummies, we sure would need some help!
Don't worry! Bobby said, We kick butt when it comes to that sort of thing!
Aira reached over Jamie and offered Bobby a cert.
Huh? What's this for?
Aira laughed, It says Icy fresh breath! I thought it may help reduce the swelling in your head!
Everyone in the car laughed .
