The four mutants were already settled in the X-van. They were planning the best way to rescue Kitty without alerting the other ones.
"Ok . . . is there a way of 'porting us out?" Logan asked, looking back to Kurt who was watching the dark night sky.
"Yeah, but the van is way too big and there are too many of us."
Rogue sighed and said:
"Brother, Kitty might be in danger and remember that she tried to phase a train into another that day and that took a lot of energy."
"Yeah, and as Jubilee told me she phased the jet into a mountain. Therefore it won't be that hard, elf."
Kurt tightened the grasp on the silver necklace inside the pocket of his black coat; he had thrown away the velvety box, and said:
"Fine. Get ready for the teleportation of you life."
Everybody looked at him with a frown. Kurt coughed and the car was gone with a BAMF.
-----------------------------------------------------
Jean and Scott were making out on the darker corner of the garage. Sound of paces alerted them and they kept quiet, even avoiding to breath.
The sound of four metal doors closing at the same time made them breath again.
"Do you know who's there?" Scott asked in whisper.
"Might be the younger mutants going out to another joyride. Just leave them be. Logan will find out eventually."
"Why don't you scan their minds, sweetie?" Scott pressed on.
"I'm not concentrated and I really don't care as long you stay with me . . ."
The sound of BAMF cut Jean's sentence and the smell of sulphur invaded their nostrils, they both coughed.
Jean got away from Scott, put her clothes in order and walked into the light, asking loudly:
"Kurt? Are you there? Scott was teaching me how to fix a car . . . Scott?"
"Yeah?" he asked back fumbling with some tools but failing miserably, because they were falling on his feet.
"The X-van is gone."
---------------------------------------------------------
"What do you mean with the X-van is gone?" Ororo asked, "I think we should call Logan."
Hank who was walking down on the stairs said:
"Logan isn't here either, nor Kurt, nor Rogue, nor Larissa. And worse, nor Kitty."
Suddenly there was a snort of laughter and three Jamies got into the foyer with a remote control in hand and bending themselves.
"Fixing the car?" one of the said.
"In the dark?" the other one added.
The real Jamie couldn't say anything because he was too busy laughing. Scott frowned.
"Again in the control room? How many times do I have to tell you not to go in there?" Hank asked to him or them.
"Sorry." The three of them managed to say between waves of laughter.
"What do you think we should do?" Hank asked with a softer expression.
"Maybe we should wait. Maybe Logan took them to a night ride around the city. Maybe they are destroying the last trails of Christmas and New Year's Eve. You know them." Ororo said breathing deeply to keep herself calm.
"But they 'ported away. They should have alerted us." Jean brought it up.
"I think the most important thing now is to keep calm." Scott said, half trying to be their fearless leader and half throwing daggers towards Jamie with his eyes, "but they will be back."
"Yeah, they will be back." Said Jamie and fell on the floor, laughing.
---------------------------------------
"Where do you think Kitty might have gone?" Logan asked.
Everybody kept quiet, so he repeated the question with a sigh:
"Where do you think Kitty might have gone, Lara?"
Kurt and Rogue looked at Larissa who answered:
"I'm trying to concentrate, since our minds merged into one. And my name is Larissa."
Logan didn't answer and kept driving to where Kitty had gone the last time she ran away.
Kurt who was sweating of concern, in spite of the cold weather, put a hand on Larissa's shoulder and said:
"Concentrate hard . . . please."
Larissa just nodded and closed her eyes.
"Why don't you turn on the radio, Logan?" Rogue asked.
He did and the song "My Immortal" blasted on the speakers:
"You'd cry I'd wipe away all of your tears, You'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears, I've held your hand through all of these years You still have all of me . . ."
"Turn off this shit." Kurt sighed.
"Rogue smiled weakly, kind of asking for apologies and changed the radio station. The song "For You" was playing as loud as the other one:
"I'm there for you no matter what, I'm there for you, never giving up, You know it's true, you were there for me And I'm there for you . . ."
"What part of turn off this shit you didn't understand?" Kurt said a bit louder than he had planned.
Rogue finally turned it off and looked outside mumbling:
"Geez . . . male PMS here."
---------------------------
Kitty got up slowly and the dirty walls of the small room span around her. She sat down again and put her head between her knees, shaking and trembling of cold. Water was dropping gently on the floor beside her. She was starting to get nervous, so she concentrated on the little noise it was making and breathed deeply. Slowly she mustered enough courage to get up again with closed eyes and groped the damp wall. Her hands were getting cold for the humidity, but she kept her way to the door.
As she reached a peeling door, she rested her hand on the doorknob and voices filled the room outside:
"It isn't a good idea to keep her here." The voice Kitty recognized as Sabertooth's said.
"Yeah, mate. And after Cajun blabbed out his plan . . ."
A third voice was heard. Not as guttural as Sabertooth's but a soothing but also terrifying voice:
"Gambit might have said for whom he was working for, but he didn't say my name or my plans. This is up to the little girl in there. But I don't think she'll use her brain much. You see, my precious mutants, keeping someone under your own influence isn't hard, but the worst is when Xavier shows up where he wasn't supposed to be. But it seems that we're making a progress. If it wasn't for Wolverine she wouldn't be found and now I believe she won't be, unless she has a mind bond with someone . . ."
Kitty heard that holding her breath. They didn't speak why she was there or what they'd do to her, but she knew that voice. The same voice that once tempted Jean to steal the rings the year before, Mesmero's voice.
"But sir, when are you going to use her?" a voice with a Russian accent spoke up.
"Today."
