Leaving the paths and walk ways of Central Park for the crowded streets of Manhattan hadn't provided the edge Alexandria was looking for. The mob of men were still running after her and Erik. The only change was that they had broken up into smaller groups and it seemed like every turn the two teens made just brought them face to face with three of four of the ugliest people Alexandria had ever seen. She wondered for a brief moment while climbing a fence why these types of people were always so ugly. Was it their hatred and ignorance showing though? This was certainly a topic she'd have to bring up for discussion with her Uncle Hank and her Grandfather, that is if she weren't grounded until her twenty-first birthday.

"Lexie," Erik said as he reached out and took her arm. "You don't look so good."

Alexandria shrugged him off. She felt like hell but he didn't need to know that at the moment. It would seem that her newest power had it's drawbacks. She could use her healing factor to heal others, but it felt as it by doing so she absorbed their injuries for a time. "I'm fine, Erik. Look there's a pay phone on the corner we need to get to it and call my house."

Erik nodded and the two dashed out from the ally they'd been hiding in. They ran down the street and Alexandria had just stuck her hand out to grab the receiver of the phone when a man with big hairy hands grabbed her arm.

"We got you know you mutie scums." The man said as he jerked Alexandria up off her feet.

Two other men had grabbed Erik and had him pinned to the wall of the building. He was trying to get them off him but they had his hands and chest pinned so hard he couldn't breath and his fingers were going numb. Alexandria swung at the man holding her in the air but the man just laughed as her hand missed him wide. This just made Alexandria even madder. She kicked out with her dangling legs and nailed the man in just the spot her Aunt Marie said would always take down any man.

The goon crashed to his knees but he didn't let go of Alexandria. "You little mutie bitch!"

Alexandria winced as the man's grip tighten on her wrist breaking it. She moaned deep in the back of her throat as the pain buzzed from her wrist, up her arm, and then spread though her body. "Let me go." She growled as her eyes began to white over.

The skies above them began to darken much to fast for it to be a normal storm. Logan watched the sky closely as he drove his jeep though Central Park, he'd picked up his daughter's scent, as well as Erik's and was following it. The darker the skies got the faster the jeep went.

Jean held on as the jeep torn down streets. Normally she would have yelled at Logan to slow down but she knew how to read the signs in the sky. She knew the darkening skies and heavy down pour, and the strikes of lightening to the east were signs that Alexandria has lost control of her powers. "Logan if we don't hurry they're going to be reporting on the sudden hurricane that ripped though New York City!"

Logan nodded and turned down another street that he knew would take them to where the lightening seemed to be centering.

"You don't think it'll get that bad do you?" Bobby asked from the back seat.

Jean looked up at the now midnight sky. "You've never seen her lose it have you?" Bobby shook his head. "Remember the time Ororo was hurt after a mission and while she was in med lab we had to shut down the danger room for repairs?"

Bobby nodded and then noted the look on Jean's face. "Lex did that?"

"She got to emotional and lost her control."

Bobby looked up at the sky and shook his head. "Remind me never to piss that kid off."

The man who had held Alexandria by the wrist was laying among a group of trash cans, while the two men who held Erik were laying on the ground knocked out. Alexandria and Erik stood there in the rain staring down the new group of men who'd come to respond to their allies cries.

"There both mutants! Get them!" The men shouted.

Alexandria felt something warm grow hot in her belly. Something almost primal as she lashed out at the men who tried to attack them. They threw rocks and bottles that she sent easily into walls. They swung bats and sticks she ducked and kicked out of their hands. But then suddenly everything stopped. The men around them stopped attacking but they didn't back off. Erik looked up from the man he'd just broken the nose of to see a man aiming a gun at him and one aiming a gun at Alexandria.

"Oh Shit." Was the only thing Erik could think to say.

Alexandria froze at the sight of the guns. She didn't know what to do. She could push the one near her away with a blast of wind, but then the one holding the gun on Erik would firer. She could send bolts of lightening down but them, but the men where to close and Erik would be hurt, and with her healing factor drained so would she.

"Hope hell is hot enough for you, you mutant shit." The man in front of Alexandria said. She watched the hammer of the pistol move back and she closed her eyes tightly and waited.

Nothing happened. After a few seconds of waiting for the shot that never came Alexandria slowly opened her eyes. The two men with the guns no longer had their guns. The guns were hovering in the air and the men were sailing into the nearest wall. The rest of the crowd were either running or frozen in place. Literately. Alexandria watched numbly as her father, her Aunt Jean and her Uncle Bobby made quick work of the men.

"Alexandria!" Jean called out as she ran over to the daughter she shared with her lover. She reached Alexandria just in time to help the girl sink to the ground in a heap. "Lexie!"

Ororo paced back and forth in the garage as she waited. Jean had called them as soon as they had all made it back to the jeep. She told Ororo that they had found Alexandria, about the reason for the PSI block, the men that were attacking the kids. and about Alexandria passing out.

"Please Ororo, pacing isn't going to do anything but make you tried. Please my dear, just calm down." The professor said from his chair which was parked near the door that lead into the mansion.

Kitty walked over and placed her hand on Ororo's shoulder. "Yeah, 'Ro, Jeanie said that Lexie was ok, and Hank here will make sure as soon as they pull in."

Ororo looked up at Hank and he smiled at her, as did the Processor and Kitty. She stopped pacing but she still had that look in her eyes that made Kitty both glad she had Ororo as a mother figure and glad that she wasn't Alexandria at the moment.

The jeep pulled into the garage a few moments later. Logan was driving and Bobby was now in the passenger seat. Jean was in the back seat with Alexandria's head in her lap, and Erik sat behind them. Logan jumped out of the jeep quickly and very carefully picked Alexandria up, carrying her over to the stretcher Hank had waiting.

"I'm ok now, Daddy." Alexandria said softly.

Logan nodded. "Sure you are, Darlin', but Ol' Hank here is still going to check you out." Logan said before stepping back.

"Alexandria." Ororo said softly as she walked over and leaned down hugging her child tight.

Alexandria went limp in her mother's arms. "Your home." She said softly. Ororo stepped back and nodded as she looked down at her daughter who looked pale and weak. "I'm in a lot of trouble aren't I?"

"Without a doubt, Child."
