Please, remember that I'm French so I had to translate the whole fic before making correct it (thanks to ET and Double27) and mistakes always goes through.

Thanks for the ones who have reviewed : Slicky, Lexan, Lil Jean, Tori H and Aimtbj !!

All of you hate the cliff-hanger, but that's what brings the suspence…and so much reviews that I'll post the continuation sooner

Remember, the more reviews I get, the sooner I want to post :-)

- "So ?" asked the two mutants without great hope.

Charles raised shinning eyes toward them but didn't answer; instead, he placed a hand on his temple and sent a telepathic message:

Rogue, I would want you or Bobby to come down to keep an eye on Jean and that you send Logan immediately to my office

He waited to receive an answer from the young student and turned back his attention on Hank and Ororo.

- "Logan will rejoin us in my office, Rogue will take his place near Jean" he made by starting his wheel-chair toward his office "Ororo could you please go to meet him in order to speak to him about Bryan on the way ?"

- "But…" made the Weather Witch, frustrated not knowing if yes or no Cerebro had revealed something.

- "I will tell you everything once we will be all in my office"

- "All Right" Storm gave in and moved quickly away.

Hank didn't learn more and, once arrived at Professor Xavier's office, waited Logan and Storm's coming, which wasn't long. Like expected, Logan was wearing the same sceptical look than the two others X-Men when those ones had been aware of the events.

- "What's this story Charles ?" he grumbled.

- "Will you, after all, tell us what Cerebro has found ?" asked Ororo by sitting next to Beast.

The professor gave them a gleaming glance and declared in a categorical voice:

- "Scott didn't die in this plane crash"

- "What ?"

Charles smiled and began his explanations :

- "You know I can't access Magneto's mind with Cerebro because of his helmet ; but it's different for his acolytes" he started "I have achieved to locate Pyro and to enter his mind and here is what I have discovered : The alleged Scott's death was a production, the plane crash has been orchestrated by Magneto who, thanks to his powers, has slackened its fall for being able to extract Cyclops –unconscious but alive–, then he has let Pyro the care to finish off the 49 others passengers, which explain the strangeness of the fire"

Logan, Ororo and Hank were gaping.

- "I have also discovered that Scott was detained in a complex in the subsoil of the New-Mexico desert's, which one is surrounded with the same material which prevents me from detecting Magneto ; that's why the bond between Jean and Scott has been broken, because of Scott's lose of consciousness and of his place of sequestration."

- "But Cyke' could've escaped, I mean, he's an incredible destructive power…" began Logan.

- "They have kept him under shelter from the sun –from which he got his powers as you know– and have drugged him until they went off ; which explain why, in Bryan's vision, Scott wasn't wearing his goggles : but little people have seen the colour of his eyes" carried on the Professor Xavier with enthusiasm "I have also seen that Mastermind, a mutant having the capacity of modifying people's memory, had been employed in this operation to persuade Scott of Jean's death"

This was doing a lot of information at one go and the present X-Men needed a while for gathering their minds.

- "Oh my god…" ended by releasing Ororo.

- "But why havin' taken so much pain for kidnappin' him ?" asked Logan.

- "Out of revenge of the put in failure of his project on Liberty-Island" answered Charles.

- "But…" wanted to ask Hank.

- "I will explain all to you later. All that's matter is that Scott is alive and detained captive since all these weeks" interrupted Charles "X-Men, I want you to go to the New-Mexico desert's, and that you bring Cyclops to us"

- "I'll prepare the X-Jet" declared Logan with determination before leaving the room.

- "Hank, you go with them, you won't be too much of three even if Magneto doesn't expect an attack" said the Professor Xavier before answering to the question Beast was asking himself "I will take care of Jean"

- "You won't tell her anything if she regains consciousness during our absence ? " asked Ororo.

- "No, I rather no in case the things would not go as planned and you couldn't bring him here safe and sound"

- "Yes, you're right" approved Beast before turning himself toward Storm "I'll be ready in less than five minutes"

- "I've already transmitted the coordinates to the X-Jet" said Charles "Be careful"

The two X-Men nodded and left hastily the office at their turn.

Scott hadn't had other choice than to stop struggling uselessly against his cell door, he hadn't the strength anymore. He had ended by letting himself slip against it and by closing his eyes, trying to feel again Jean's presence in his mind, but unsuccessfully. He might have subsequently fallen asleep for long hours because, when he opened his eyes again, he realised that he felt pain everywhere caused by the cold ground on which he was sat. He decided himself to rise to go to lie down on his straw mattress, which was more comfortable.

He had slept another hour. Some minutes before, when Mystique had brought to him his tray, he had achieved to make her speak –well, evocating Mastermind's existence won't have any consequences, because this one will come back to put things right–, she had left with a malicious smile on her lips, obviously delighted of their prisoner's confusion. But Scott hadn't paid attention to that, henceforth he knew from what had come this false memory and why it had seemed so much real. Knowing there was maybe a hope that Jean be alive despite what he had seen and felt the day before, he fastened to it and ate for the first time on his own free will since weeks to regain some strength. He was finishing his meal when he perceived an unusual agitation; and what he heard some minutes later, he thought he would never heard it again.

- "Scott ?? Scott!!?"
