It was well after midnight when a shaggy looking car pulled into the Johnson driveway. The one and only passenger got out of the vehicle and quietly closed the door as to not attract any more attention than need be. A dark figure stood in the front doorway waiting patiently for the stranger to arrive.
"Hello Colin." Said Robert with lacking emotion.
His son mearly nodded in response.

"This is beyond ridiculous!" raged Magneto as he paced his office with anger following his every footstep. Sabertooth however didn't finch at this behavior and simply remained silently at the comment. Mystique entered the room swaying her hips in her usual fashion.
"What did you find out?"
She glanced at the beast man before answering. "It would appear we weren't the only one with an idea similar to this. Another organization, has joined the ranks. From what I could tell they mostly consists of teenagers and are highly inexperienced."
Magneto's eyes lit up at the statement. "Do you mean to tell me that my entire strategy has been diverted by some unskilled kids?!"
"It would appear so..."
He left the room without allowing her to finish the sentence. But before he could get much further his lady friend joined his side and gave away more unrealistic news.
"It would also appear that Mortimer had something to do with it... It's all over the news...he must of been helping this girl all along..."
"Sabertooth?" He asked as he stopped his walking and swiftly turned around. A growl emerged from him letting his know he was indeed there.
"Find the Jackson girl and Mortimer, and get rid of them...I'm sick of these interruptions." And without another word he left the room to make some more arrangements.
Mystique turned and smiled at her alliance. He glared back knowing before disappearing through the back door.

Colin Jackson hadn't been inside his own home in nearly two years. The familiar smell of his mother's favorite scent of air freshener came back to his senses sending far too memories back to him than he would of cared for.
He shifted unconfortablely on the couch removing the hood of his sweatshirt. The call from his father had been unexpected but even more than that inconvenient. Eva had never hurt a soul, and those freaks had crossed more lines than he could count. He glanced at a picture of his little sister on the wall, she really was growing to be quite lovely. Although he could still remember the day he left home how she had cried and hung onto his leg begging him to stay. It was hard to explain to her then why he had to leave but he had the feeling she was learning now.
His fists clenched in anger as he thought of the possibilities of what was being done to his sister.
He was going to kill that monster...
"Where's mom?" He asked though his raspy voice to the man known as his father drinking scotch in the reclining chair.
"Upstairs asleep. She couldn't handle this Colin..." He stated after awhile. "I know you and I have always had our differences...but your sister is in trouble now. Get her back Colin." He stood up at this comment and continued to look at anything but his son's eyes.
"I don't trust the people in charge of her case."
Case. He thought to himself.
My daughter is a case.
"And I want this thing that took her to be punished. I don't want him going to prison..." He said clearing his point.
"I know what it is you do...please Colin...bring her home." He turned to meet his son's torn face and surprised himself with tears stinging his eyes at the light of the situation. Colin sat up and walked to his father's side.
Robert noticed just at that moment had much his son had changed over the last years. He looked ragged and tired. His eyes were cold and gray reviling no emotion to what he was about to say.
"I'll bring her home." He repeated. He headed for the door with a plan forming in his head as he left.
"Thank you." The voice that gave away that comment of gratitude was husky and sad. Wringing in dreadful possibly Colin didn't say anything in return instead just let him out and drove away into the darkness that had settled into his bones long ago.
"And I'll make him pay." He said to the windshield in front of him.

Robert threw a blanket around his wife's shaking shoulders. She had practically been crying in her sleep, calling out Eva's name over and over again. Finally he convinced her to leave the silent phone and get some rest, but even the small sleeping pill couldn't help her much.
He slumped downstairs and settled himself into the same chair as before and poured himself another glass of scotch and enjoyed the flavor as it settled in his stomach. He turned off the only lamp that was on and closed his eyes in the darkness, yet still he couldn't escape the horror that his only daughter must of been going through.
