A/N: Wow it's been forever since I posted anything. But hopefully I'll be able to do it more often. I have a few other chapters of this story already written, but I need to go over then a couple of more times, but I'll try to get them posted as soon as possible. On a side note I've also been working on my other story "Where the Heart Is", so u might see a new chapter of that story soon, and as soon as I get a chapter of that story posted, I'll try to write up another chapter of "Silver Shadows".

Part 5: The Sword is Drawn

Kitty gently brushed the comb through her wet hair, as she quietly hummed to herself.

Rogue was instructed to sleep in the Med-Lab, so Kitty was left the room to herself. When she first discovered she finally going to be alone she was thrilled, but now, she was wishing Rogue, or anyone, would be there. Kitty figured she just became used to having a roommate, that she now felt uncomfortable by herself.

Kitty sighed as she put down her brush on the dresser. She stood up from her chair and stretched her arms. 'Might as well go to bed,' Kitty though to herself, 'No one to talk to anyways.'

Yawning, as Kitty switched the light off, and headed to her bed.

She had only taken two steps, before she felt something sharp poke her neck. Kitty instinctually reached out to her neck, pulled out a stick. "What the heck?" She asked as she realized it was a dart.

Kitty looked around for the shooter, but Kitty's vision suddenly became blurred, and her knees felt weak. Soon, Kitty found her self falling to the ground, but before she reached it, blackness over took her.

Pete gasped as he jumped up. Something was wrong with Kitty. He could feel it in the pit of his stomach.

He jumped out of bed, still breathing hard, and moved towards the sleeping Kurt.

"Psst.........Kurt, wake up." He whispered as he nudged Kurt's shoulder.

In reply, Kurt simply mumbled something, and turned over.

Pete huffed annoyed, and pushed his harder, "Wagner, wake up!" He said in a harsh whisper.

"Vat?" Kurt asked sleepily.

"We got to go get Logan, something's wrong with Pryde. I think they're someone with Kit."

Now, Kurt became wide-awake, he quickly 'bamfed' to Logan's room, leaving Pete alone.

Pete rolled his eyes, "I said 'we'", he said to himself, "bloody idiot." And he slowly started to sneak out.

Kurt 'bamfed' right between Logan and Hank's beds, and was shocked to find them both empty.

"Logan! Hank?" He called out, suddenly someone grabbed him from behind and covered his mouth preventing him from screaming.

"Shut up, Elf." Logan growled.

Kurt turned around and saw Logan and Hank. "Heir Wisdom sent me." Kurt whispered, "He said there was someone in Muir Island."

Hank nodded, "Logan and I both already know."

Kurt frowned confused, "How.....?" Then he remembered their powers, "Oh."

"Come on," Logan whispered, "And stick close."

Pete crept into the TV room. He had just returned from Kitty's room to find it empty. The weird thing was that he had yet to run into anyone at all.

Pete felt someone grab his shoulder from behind suddenly. He turned around and found Logan.

"Where's Kurt and Hank?" Pete asked softly.

"Med-Lab with Rogue and Moira." Logan answered just as soft.

"Now, now, children, are you whispering in class?" A new voice boomed. Abruptly the lights turned on.

And out of the hallway door came Sciculuna, followed by Sari, Scratch and several Black Air agents.

Logan growled as his claws popped out.

Sciculuna tisked as she waged her finger, "Now, now, don't do anything stupid."

"Wasn't planning to," Logan snarled, "I was just going to cut you open."

Sciculuna smiled mockingly, "You're so funny," Her smile faded as she continued, "I wouldn't be in such a joking mood if I were you."

Logan snorted in amusement, "Why 'cause you think you have the upper hand."

"Ah, but I do have the upper hand." Her smiled returned, "I know you won't do anything."

"Why's that?" Pete asked, suspiciously.

Sciculuna raised a smooth eyebrow appearing calmness, "Because right now, as we speak, Threadgold is loading you little Kitty-cat in our jet."

Pete groaned as she confirmed his suspicious. Logan growled deeper as he moved forward ready to attack them. But before he took more then a step, Pete grabbed his arm, stopping him.

"Wolverine, don't." He looked up and gave a defeated sigh before he looked up, "What do ya want, Sciculuna?" He asked.

She laughed, "World domination," She winked, "But for now, you."

Logan snarled as he stood in front of Pete, as if to protect him, but once again, Pete stopped him.

"Logan, no." He paused before he answered Sciculuna, "Alright, I'll go wit you."

"What?" Logan yelled as he turned to look at him.

"Look Logan," Pete whispered, "They're going to take Kitty, and it'd be best if I was there with her. You lot can try to play hero and rescue us later." He leaned closer, speaking with firmness, "Threadgold wants something from Kitty. I don't know what, but he defiantly has something up his sleeves."

Unknown to then, Sciculuna could hear them. No one in the room noticed her frown as she remembered that she thought it was strange that Threadgold had demand that Shadowcat be the bait.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the sight of Pete walking up to her.

"Let's do this then." Pete said.

Sciculuna smiled, "Wait a minute. We got to make sure that cave man here doesn't follow us." She nodded to an agent near the wall.

Suddenly, Logan felt a dark on the side of his neck. Soon, his vision blurred until complete darkness over took him.

Rogue woke up to the sound of movement. She slowly opened her eyes and found Hank, Kurt, and Moira in the Med-Lab.

"Ugh," Rogue groaned, "Is it morning already?" She asked annoyed.

"Nein." Kurt answered. "We're being attacked." He said simply.

Rogue sat up straight, "What?" She yelled. "By who?"

"I presume by Black Air." Hank answered.

"So why ya'll down here?" She asked.

"We were sent down here by Logan," Hank replied. "He said that we didn't know what we up against, he told us he was just going to find Pete and young Katherine and come down too."

"How long he's been gone?" She asked.

Moira looked at the clock in the Med-Lab, "He's been gone for 45 minutes."

"Shouldn't we go check on him now?" She asked.

Hank paused for moment and then nodded.

"Yes, that would be wise."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Where are they?" Moira asked, whispering softly, "We've checked every room in the house!"

Hank nodded. The group of four and separated in two's. With Moria and Hank checking the upstairs, and Rogue and Kurt looking downstairs.

Suddenly the heard Rogue scream form downstairs, "HANK! MOIRA! Get over HERE! NOW!"

Hank and Moira briefly looked at each other before they ran to the direction the scream came from.

They found Rogue and Kurt in TV room standing over an unconscious body. As they neared closer the discovered it was Logan.

"Oh my stars and garters!" Hank said ad he kneeled next to him. "Logan, are you okay?" He gently nudged him.

Logan groaned as he slowly opened his eyes, "Yeah, I'm fine." He muttered.

Kurt looked around, "Vere is Kitty and Pete?" He asked.

Logan looked confused for a moment as if he was trying to remember, but then slowly realization dawned on him. "They took them." He said in a defeated tone.

"They?" Moira asked, already knowing the answer.

"Black Air."
