Holly made her out of the elevator and back to the ballroom. Many of the couples had left. Jean and Scott were standing by the table talking seriously. "What's going on?" Holly asked. Iceman stands up. "Magneto and other members of the Brotherhood broke into some of the politician's houses." He said. "What? How? Was anyone hurt?" Holly asked. "No, but a lot of stuff was either destroyed or stolen. "he said. "And when the police showed up they were attacked, but there were no serious injuries." "So what do we do now?" Holly asked. Scott and Jean walk pass them. Scott stopped and looked at Holly. "The Professor sent some of the others to check out the houses. So we go home."

When they reached the mansion, hardly anyone was up. They each said their goodnights to each other and went their separate ways. Holly went to her room, replaying the night. Especially the part where she kissed Toad. She hadn't planned on doing it. It just happened. She felt the pain he had. It was almost unbearable. She understood why he had wanted to kill himself. She tried to stop thinking about it. She opened the door to her room and went in.

In the morning, Holly went downstairs. It was 7:00 am. She was already fully dressed. To her surprise she wasn't the only one up. Two kids about 11 were sitting on a coach talking. 3 others were running down the hall chasing each other. Holly walked to the kitchen. Iceman and Scoot were there. "Morning" She said to them cheerfully. They looked at her expressionless. "What's up?" She asked as she grabbed an apple. "We are going to do investigate the houses today." Scott said. "I thought someone did that last night." Holly asked confused. "They did, but the houses were too surrounded. They couldn't get near" Scott said. "And you think you can get through today?" She asked. "Don't worry we will." He replied. She smiled. "Well, good luck" . "Your coming too" Scott said. "What?! Why?!" Holly asked once again confused. "Because we need you too feel when people are coming." Scott said. "Can't Jean just use her powers?" Holly asked. "Jean is going to be helping me and Bobby look for clues" Scott informed her. "So, I'm just going to be the look out?" Holly asked sighing. "Yes" Scott and Iceman said. "Fine" Holly agreed.

Scott drove to the house that was the nearest. It looked normal from the outside. Scott, Iceman, and Jean went in. Holly stayed in the car. She laid down in the backseat. It was uncomfortable, but it was better than just sitting there. She looked at clouds though the glass. She started to make shapes out of them. First, there was a cat, then a bird, a woman walking a dog, a basketball,…Toad. She shook her head. She sat up. She looked up and saw Jean making her way back to the car, followed by Scott and Iceman. She got into the backseat with Holly. "Find anything?" Holly asked. "No, nothing." Jean said looking disappointed. "Why are you even looking for clues anyway? Don't you already know The Brotherhood did this?" Holly asked. "Yes and no. We are pretty sure the Brotherhood did this, but we have to be sure." Jean explained. Scott got into the driver's seat and Iceman in the passenger side. They both looked as disappointed as Jean. "Well, maybe at the next house." Holly suggested tried to cheer them up. No one said anything. Scott started to drive. The next house was a little more farther away. The neighborhood was much nicer too. The was a security guard to open the gate. Jean had used her powers to get him to open the gate for them. Scott drove passed many houses and found the right house.

15 minutes later they came out again disappointed. "Nothing?" Holly asked. "Nothing" Jean said. They took off for the third house. Jean read the address to Scott. After an hour of driving they reached a dead end. Iceman took out a map. "I think you made a wrong turn here" He said pointing it out to Scott. Scott took the map and got out of the car. He used the car as a table. Holly and Jean also got out. They stretched. Iceman helped Scott with the map. Holly looked around to see where they were. They were surrounded by a forest type place. Trees towered over them. It was quite. The only sound were the birds flying overhead. The only road was the two way road that they had come from. The wind blew and then Holly felt something….there were more people around. "Scott?" Holly called. He looked up. "what?". "Well, Well, if it isn't the X-men? Shouldn't you be at your school learning?" A voice said from the forest. Holly stepped back. "Sabertooth." Scott said. Sabertooth stepped out of the forest. He stood over 6 feet tall. He looked like some-kind of wild cat/human. Sabertooth looked at them all with an evil look on his face. "What do you want?" Scott asked him. "I just wanted to know what you X-men were doing here in Brotherhood territory" He said. Holly felt something again. "Scott, look out!" She yelled at Scott as person sped passed him. Scott moved in time and missed almost being ran over. The person then appeared by Sabretooth. He had silver hair and was sort-of tall. He looked at mad. He glared at Holly. "How did…?" He started to ask, but Holly pushed Jean out of the way as another attacker tried to attack Jean. Next thing Holly knew Scott was firing his optic blasts at some other mutant. "Iceman, behind you!" Holly said without even looking at him. Iceman avoided the attack. Sabretooth was getting mad. 'How were they supposed to get rid of the X-men with this psychic girl around?' He thought to himself. He then smiled.

Jean got up and tried to help Scott. Holly looked around trying to make since of this mess. She stood up and was hit was felt like a car. She fell down again. Next thing she knew Sabretooth was carrying her into the forest. Her head hurt.

Scott saw Sabretooth with Holly. He blasted a tree near them. It fell in front of Sabretooth. Scott ran over. Sabretooth looked at Scott. "Put her down" Scott demanded. Sabretooth through Holly through another tree that was a couple feet away. He then leapt at Scott. Scott had been distracted by looking to see if Holly was ok. Scott hit the ground hard. Jean came and tried to use her psychic powers. Sabretooth attacked her. Holly tried to raise her head, but it was too heavy. She tried to stay awake. She didn't want any Brotherhood members to get her. Then she felt someone grab her. "No" She moaned, but was then consumed by darkness.
