Right...Word to the Wise...If you don't like it then don't review. I will happily take constructive criticism, but NOT from people who just say it's rubbish. I GET THE POINT!!!!!!!!!!!!! But you see I want to write and somebody out there is enjoying this story, so I will continue to write until they tier of it or until I'm finished, then you never hear from me again! HAPPY PEOPLE?????

Logan rode round the outskirts of the town but found nothing. He eventually rode near the Brother hood but also found nothing. Giving up he headed back to the institute; it was only as he turned onto the road to the drive did he finally catch a whiff. Skidding to a stop he took off his helmet and raised his head.

"What are you up to?" he thought to himself. He stepped off the bike and leapt into the field on his left, he turned round and tried to find the direction of the sent. He found it went across the field and doubled back, however at the path to the road he caught two other scents. "Willow and Aaron?" He continued to track them to the outskirts of the town but lost them as they had gone past a chemical factory. "You know me too well Saber!!" he sighed walking back to the institute to tell the others.

"Rouge? Have you had any luck?" Kitty knocked on her door and slowly opened it. The door was quickly pulled the rest of the way open and Rouge stood in the doorway.

"Yes?" She asked looking at Kitty.

"Sorry, but did you have any luck?" Rouge looked to the floor.

"Yes and no...lets tell the others." She closed the door and grabbed Kitty's elbow guiding her down to the lounge where she had heard the others.

"Anything Professor?" Jean asked after a few minutes.

"No. I have detected a guarded area that he may be hiding in, I think we should them up there to check thing out." Xavier rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"What do you think he's planning Professor?"

"I have two theories. But I want to discuss it with everyone." They both headed to the lounge just as Logan came in and just as Kitty and Rouge reached the bottom of the stairs.

Orora was in her green house watering the plants when she noticed Shadow standing by on of he larger rose bushes. She walked out and leant against the metal corner of the green house.

"Are you Okay Shadow?" She jumped at the sound of Orora's voice and sighed when she realised who it was. "Sorry if I startled you."

"No it's Okay M'ama I was just deep in thought." She shifted slightly.

"Why do you put yourself down Shadow?"

"'Cause they always beat me when we were young. Course they are older than me, but mum always favoured me, but we were happy, until Saber Tooth found out and came after us...My brother wanted to get to know him, Willow wasn't so keen but she went a long with it anyway." Shadow turned to the rose bush. "She liked Saber because he could beat Aaron, and Az only ever wanted a father so he liked him no matter what. I never understood why betrayed mum though. What could turn a son on his own mother?" She asked, eyes brimming with tears.

Orora put an arm around Shadows shoulder and hugged her. "I don't know...I just don't know."

"Professor! Professor!" Kitty cried as Rouge Logan ran into the room.

"Behind you." He said as he wheeled into the room.

"Saber's here but I lost his trail, he's definitely in on it." Xavier clasped his hands.

"Just as we thought. Rouge what do you know?"

"That he wanted a father and was brainwashed into believing his mother was holding him back, that his mother wanted to rule over them. How could he believe such crap?!" Rouge shook her head.

"I believe this machine for Willow, Aaron and Shadow may either turn people to mutants using their element powers. Their genes must be easier to copy or..."

"OR?" Logan pushed.

Shadow stepped into the room "Or Aaron got a chance for pay back major time." Everyone turned to her, Orora came up behind her.

"I think after years of hiding he has finally had enough." She explained.

"Would he Shadow?" Xavier asked.

"Yes. What better way to get payback after being shunned than to turn the elements against the people." She answered.

"But they would only have plant, sun and animal creation from elements. Would that be enough?" Scott asked.

"A Weather Witch wouldn't be over looked." Shadow said turning to Orora.

"Aunty O? You don't think he...would try. Do you?" Evan shivered stepping forward.

"I don't know, but I do know he won't get either of us." She nodded to Shadow and placed a hand on the young woman's shoulder.

"Absolutely!" Shadow answered, placing her hand on Orora's shoulder.
