Hey everyone I'm back on track! I got some good news and some bad news. Good news is, I feel like writing again! Bad news is, I've been sick for three days lying in my bed, coughing and feeling sick the whole time. I can't believe I got sick so quickly! Oh well, just please people read and definitely review and I would feel much more better.
Chapter 17: Return to Alkali lake
The ride seemed comfortable somehow, but my mind started to linger in on some thoughts. What if I got captured at the base again? Or what if I got killed this time?
"Excuse me, do you know vat time it is?" I looked over to see Kurt speaking to me interrupting my thoughts.
I looked down to my wristwatch and saw that it was two thirty seven.
"It's two thirty seven." I answered.
"Thank you," Kurt said.
I continued to think about the possibilities until once again someone interrupted my thoughts.
"Hold on tight, we're almost there and it's going to be quite a landing." Storm warned us.
So I checked my seat belt making sure it was tight enough.
I heard a noise behind me and I looked to see it was John flicking his lighter and sitting by Magneto.
"So they say you're the bad guy." It was John speaking with Magneto.
"Is that what they say?" Magneto replied.
I continued to hear their conversation, and John sighed looking at something.
"That's a weird looking helmet." John said.
I looked to see what John was looking at, and it was a helmet, but it was shaped weirdly and was red.
"This dorky looking helmet is going to protect me from the real bad guys." Magneto answered.
Soon I saw Magneto raise his hand and Johns lighter somehow came in his hand without him grabbing it.
"What is your name?" Magneto asked.
"John." He answered.
"What's your real name John?" Magneto asked.
I soon realized Magneto was asking the same question to me when we were at the camp. It wasn't exactly the same, but about the same.
I saw John reach his hand towards the lighter, and fire sweeped out floating above his hand. It was a bit amazing to me and I stared at his hand for a couple of moments.
"Pyro." John answered.
"What talent do you have there Pyro?" Magneto asked.
"I could only manipulate the fire," John closed his hand making the fire disappear, "I can't create it."
"You are a god among insects, don't let anyone tell you differently." Magneto replied.
I seemed a bit confused at what Magneto said, but soon the jet started to shake a little, and I looked up front to see a view of trees and snow with a dam up ahead.
I held my breath and I knew where we were. I was back at Alkali Lake, and even though I knew where we were going, I shivered from fear.
The jet started to land behind some trees and the jet was shaking pretty badly now. All of a sudden, the jet touched the ground with a loud thud, and I nearly fell off my chair though thanks to my seat belt, I didn't.
I saw most of the X-Men relax and sigh from relief as if they were close to death. They started to take off their seat belts, and I did the same while Magneto walked to the front of the jet.
"We need a plan." Magneto called from the front of the jet.
"Duh genius." Wolverine muttered. Somehow my hearing was getting better, and I could hear people breathing from the front of the jet while I was way at the back.
Storm got up from her chair walking towards the back of the room and disappearing behind a door. I wasn't really worried of what she was going to do until a image formed in the middle of the jet with a picture of the inside of the base and I wasn't sure what part of the base it was.
Storm started to explain some things while I got up from my chair and so did the others getting ready to head towards the base. They somehow felt anxious, but I was shaking from fear not even wanting to see that base ever again. But here I was so close to it and yet it only seemed a dream to me.
Soon Wolverine said he'd do something with me puzzled at what he was going to do because I wasn't paying much attention to the conversation but thinking about the base.
I saw Magneto interrupt and make an insult to Wolverine, while he didn't seem much hurt about what he said.
"I'll take the chances." Wolverine answered.
"But I won't." And Magneto looked over to Mystique while she seemed a bit amused to get all the attention over her.
Magneto made a plan for what Mystique should do, but something was bothering me all of a sudden. It seemed as is something was trying to pull me towards the base.
I didn't understand it at all, but all of a sudden, I felt nothing. I had no thoughts going through my head, or the conversation with the X-Men, and not even thinking that I was walking towards the end of the jet without me knowing it. It was very strange to me and it seemed as if the X-Men didn't notice I was heading out of the jet.
I saw the stairs leading out of the jet and I walked out of it while I could only hear one thing in my mind. It was a buzzing noise, and it felt like a machine just turned on and was beeping weird noises.
I continued to walk out, not even feeling the cold weather against my skin and the X-Men still not noticing my disappearance.
It soon occurred that I was walking towards the base without me even knowing it.
I think you might wonder what's going on. Well, you're just going to have to wait until I finish updating! So please, please review!
