Late at night in an average American home, a less then average little boy is about to go to sleep. This boy's name is Jamie Maddrox. "Another day in Kansas" he sighed. Although he cared for his parents he missed being at the institute with the other mutants. Suddenly he heard something. He rushed over to his window where he found the source. "Rogue" he exclaimed. "You've come to rescue me" he said.

"Sorry kid" she said and grabbed his face, she drained him and let him fall. "You'll be back with us soon kid, but for now I just need your powers," she told him. She jumped down to the ground outside and rushed out into a field where Mystique was waiting for her. "I've got his powers" she told her.

"Good work. You already have taken my powers" Mystique said. "Now duplicate."

Rogue nodded and created two duplicates. "Now both of you change" she ordered them. The two duplicates nodded and changed form turning into exact copies of Iceman and Shadowcat. "Good work."

"Now we'll join up with the others" Mystique told her. "You two will receive your instructions and follow them understood" she said to the copies. They simply nodded as they all entered a small jet. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back in Budapest Bobby and Kitty with their new ally Banshee followed after the Juggernaut till they reached the outskirts of the city. He buzzed the front door of a building and muttered something then he was able to gain access.

"So I guess this is the place" Kitty said.

"Aye lassy" Sean nodded. "Now the question be how might we be getting in," he frowned and tried to think of a plan.

Bobby looked around. "Hey check out all the hot rides. Bentley's, BMW's, Limo's" He said. "There must be a lot of rich people here" he said. "But why."

"Don't know lad, Tom is probably holding an auction for something valueable that he stole."

"I wonder what that could be" Kitty wondered.

Suddenly Bobby paused and then gasped. "Oh my god it's Amara" he said.

"What are you talking about" Kitty asked.

"Remember before in the bar, the girl told us Juggernaut said he was going to make big money off the black market, they had a priced female. And what's more valuable then a princess" he exclaimed.

"Like they wouldn't" Kitty said.

"Aye they would lass. The selling of females is big in East Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia" Sean informed her. "And if we don't be hurrying yee friend could find herself in the hands of god knows what kind of people" he explained.

"So why don't we just attack" Bobby asked.

"We can't, they might hurt Amara if we do" Kitty explained.

"And I'm sure the bidders might be a problem as well, we must be careful" he said. "I'll call for backup" he explained. He quickly dialed his cell and after a minute slammed the phone off. "They'll be coming but it's going to take them a bit, we can't wait we must act know.

"But how are we going to get inside" Kitty frowned.

Suddenly Bobby saw one of the recent guests. "I think I just found our ticket in there," he said as he eyed what looked to be some sort of Arab prince, trying to enter. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Inside the building Amara exited the shower, slowly much to the dismay of an impatient Black Tom. "Hurry up girl, your public is waiting for you" he snarled at her. She wrapped the towel around her body, which was naked save the metal collar, and limped into the room where Tom and Theresa are both standing.

"Relax Uncle we still have time" Theresa said trying her best to calm him. "Besides you want her to look good right," she asked.

"Quite true me dear but the bidders are almost all here already" he said. "Though the shower does seem to done some good" he said as he reached out and felt Amara's hair, the girl turned her head in disgust. He frowned. "And stop with the limp" he said.

"I can't" Amara snapped. "You injured it with the way you've been treating me" she frowned.

"Oh talking back now are yee" Tom frowned and raised his staff. "Well I guess I best be teaching yee another lesson" he said and moved to hit her but Theresa grabbed his staff.

"No Uncle yee can't" she said.

Tom gave Theresa an impatient look. "And why the hell not. Why do yee care anyway" he asked.

Theresa froze for a second and thought fast. "Uhh it's because yee don't want to damager her it would uh lower the price" she explained.

Tom frowned. "Well I suppose your right dear, now beauty her up and do it fast" he said and left the two girls alone.

"Thank you" Amara said.

"Yeah well I uhh only did it because I wanted to make a profit," she explained though she was lying. "Now sit down and let me brush your hair" she explained and set Amara down in a chair in front of a mirror and began to brush.

"Oh" Amara nodded. She looked into the mirror and just sighed. "Where are the X-Men" she thought. If they didn't get here soon it would be too late.

Theresa finished Amara's hair and started to apply make up. "You know I don't agree with what they be doing to yee" Theresa told her. "Truth be told the only reason I listen to him be cause he raised me and I owe him" she explained.

"Have you ever tried finding your real parents" Amara asked.

"Nah, me mother was killed when I be a wee baby, and god knows about me father" she said.

"Well if your father might be alive maybe you should look for him. I have friends who can help you, just please help me" Amara pleaded.

Theresa sighed. "I really would like to but me Uncle he be the only one I have, I just don't know" she sighed as she beautified Amara.

"Come on you know this is wrong and this could be your opportunity to start over" she said and looked right at Theresa.

Theresa was quiet for a moment then spoke. "Maybe lass but even if I was to try and help yee how would we do it, I mean me uncle and Juggernaut are quite powerful" she said then smirked. "But wait maybe we can outsmart them" she explained.

"What" Amara asked?

Theresa took a pin out of her hair and started working on Amara's collar till she finally had it off. "We make it look like you still can't use your powers," she said as she pulled something out of the collar before putting it back on Amara. "Now yee just go with who buys yee and then when yee get out of here flame up and get away."

Amara smiled for the first time since her abduction. "That's perfect, oh thank you" she told Theresa.

"But yee must promise to get yee friends and help me like yee said."

Amara nodded. "Of course, I promise we'll get you out of here."

"Good, now come on your public awaits" Theresa told her as she handed her a revealing dress. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back outside Kitty and Sean are waiting outside one of the limos. Sean is wearing sunglasses and a chauffeur's hat. "Come on lad, hurry it up" Sean called out.

The limo door open and out came Bobby dressed in robes with an Arab hat around his head. "Are you sure this is going to work, I mean I look ridiculous here" he frowned. Muffled voiced could be heard coming from the limo. "And I don't think they are too happy either."

Kitty tried not to laugh but couldn't help it. "Oh think of it as broadening your cultural horizons" she said.

"Well I don't see you doing that" he frowned.

"Of course not lad, while we go in there and hold up the auction, she has to shut down the security system then locate yee friend and then we get her out and Interpol shows up and we round up all these criminals" he said.

"Fine" Bobby frowned. "Let's just get this over with," he said as he covered up his face.

"Later boys" Kitty said and phased through a wall as Sean and Bobby approached the main door.

Bobby buzzed the entrance to hear a voice. "Whose there" the voice demanded.

"Uh" Bobby stuttered and looked at Sean.

"We are from the royal family of Saudi Arabia, this is Prince Umar of Lower Arabia" Sean said but disguised his voice.

"Oh really a prince, why come right in the voice said and the door opened. The two entered and walked down the hall and up a flight of stairs till they entered a large room with a platform at the front. Gathered around this room was a varied crowd including from the very well to do and those who looked like low lives. All had money though and most were armed.

"Looks like we found the right place" Bobby mumbled.

"Quiet lad" Sean whispered. "We can't blow our cover," he explained.

"Whatever I just hope we get this over with soon" Bobby grumbled when he caught something in the corner of his eye.

"Cousin" a voice yelled. Another Arabic young man ran over. "Umar" the man said.

"Excuse me" Bobby grunted disguising his voice as he did his best to turn away.

"Oh come now, are family might be big but it's mean Omar" the man said and began to usher Bobby away. "Come we must talk, and then bid on this princess" he smirked.

"Have fun" Sean called out.

Bobby glared at him. "I hope Kitty's having better luck," he thought ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile inside a computer room Kitty sat at a computer consul "Oh god this system is so basic" Kitty smirked. "And there we go" she said to herself. "System is down." She sat back and admired her work for a minute. "God saving the day can get so tiring, when this is all done I better get a tropical vacation. Oh that would be the life, lying on a beach with a cute boy massaging me" she thought. "Oh Bobby" she muttered to herself. But her fantasy was shattered by something. She heard a loud scream. "That sounded like Amara" Kitty said then rushed off to help her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Meanwhile in another part of the building Black Tom and Juggernaut have appeared in the back room to take Amara. "Good work Theresa, she looks perfect" Tom told her.

"Well thank yee uncle I try" Theresa responded with nervousness in her voice. She eyed Amara's dress carefully. She had done her best to cover up the collars activation sensor with a scarf so her Uncle would be none the wiser.

"Now yee highness are yee ready to meet your public" he asked Amara offering his arm.

Amara nodded. "Well we better get this over with" she nodded and took his arm. They began to walk when Tom looked at Amara again. "Yee know lass yee do look divine, and me thinks before I give yee away I should have a taste" he smirked and leaned in to kiss her. Amara pulled away but Tom grabbed the scarf, which pulled off of her collar. He took a look. "Very disappointing" he said and knocked Amara down hard to the ground.

"What's wrong Uncle" Theresa asked.

"Don't give me that girl, you have hurt yee poor Uncle" he sighed. "Well alas yee will have to die" he said and raised his staff. He was about to blast her when Amara jumped up and got in the way.

"Noo" Amara screamed. The blast sent her flying hard into the wall. "Ow" she groaned. "My legs" she said.

"Amara" Theresa said and rushed to her side.

"Oh well I guess even damaged she'll fetch something, you must be eliminated though" he said and prepared to fire again as Theresa looked up in terror.

"But Uncle I thought yee cared about me" she cried looking at the man who raised her.

"Well yeah, but yee betrayed me. Besides when I tell yee father it will devastate him" he grinned.

"Wait me father yee know him" she exclaimed.

"Well yes we be cousins and I despise him, thought you should know before I terminate our relationship so to speak" he said and prepared to fire. "And this time I won't miss."

"We'll see about that jerk," a voice said and from out of the ceiling Kitty appeared and tackled Tom. She phased them through the floor.

"Kitty" Amara managed to smile.

"Friend of yours" Theresa asked.

"Yeah" she nodded.

"Let me help yee" Theresa said when she felt herself being grabbed.

"Your coming with me" Juggernaut growled and picked the girl up, carrying her off as she tried to resist. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile Kitty had phased them right into the middle of the room of bidders. "Take that jerk" she frowned and kicked him in the nuts.

"Ouch" Tom groaned then looked at all the confused bidders. "Well you idiots do something" he demanded. "Yee all armed, give me a hand here" he frowned.

Out of the crowd Sean shed his disguise and glared at him. "Why it be my pleasure" he grunted and punched Tom in the jaw. "Hello cousin." Sean proceeded to start pummeling Tom.

Some of the bidders took out their guns and aimed them at Sean. "Not a good idea boys" Bobby said as he revealed himself as well. He fired ice blasts at each of their arms.

"Wait your not Umar" Omar said.

"Duh, now shut up already" Bobby frowned and punched him, knocking him out. "Man that felt good."

Meanwhile Kitty was doing her best to dodge the bidders trying to tackle her. "Like don't even try" she smirked in her intangible form.

Bobby was continuing icing as many weapons and men as he could. "This is easy, who needs Interpol" he smirked. From behind him a man came charging toward him.

"Bobby" Kitty said and jumped on him making intangible as well. "You owe me" she smirked.

Bobby nodded. "Thanks. Wait I think I've got an idea" he said. "Just keep holding me."

"Good idea, then we can ice them and they can't hit us" Kitty nodded.

"Yeah sure I guess, but even if you couldn't phase I'd want you to" he winked then started to ice everyone insight.

Kitty grinned as all the thugs tried in vain to hit them. "Come on take your best shot" she smirked as she held Bobby, she was in heaven.

Bobby continued to ice them just as they would get close. They would even taunt them by un-phasing. Till eventually they were all iced. "Well that was easy" Bobby grinned.

"It's not over yet check that out" Kitty said pointing to Sean and Tom who seemed locked in combat. They were blasting each other with their powers but they had no effect.

"Why don't you just give up lad, it's over" Sean grunted before sonic screaming again.

"Never" Tom frowned. "Yee know your powers have no effect on me. So you should give up."

"And yours don't have any effect on me" Sean nodded as he was pushed back by his staff blast.

Bobby and Kitty sat down and watched. "Can I please just freeze him" Bobby called out to Sean.

"No lad this is personal" Sean called out.

"Give him 5 minutes" Kitty whispered.

In a final rush of energy Sean leaped up and tackled his cousin. The staff went flying and fell to the side of the wrestling cousins. Tom reached for it but Sean grabbed it first and held it against Toms throat. "Give up" he asked.

"Yes" Tom gasped.

"Good now your going to jail" Sean said.

"Don't bet on it" a voice snarled. All turned to see Juggernaut holding up Theresa.

"Hey it's that girl who screams" Bobby exclaimed. "I thought she worked for Tom?"

Kitty began to think. "Wait a minute she screams, and he screams" she muttered as she began to notice how much Sean and the girl looked alike.

"Cousin, let me go or Juggernaut will pound yee daughters face in" he snarled.

"Daughter what are yee talking about?" Sean demanded. "This is a trick isn't it, yee know Maeve died before we could have children, yee killed her" he said.

"Uncle Tom?" Theresa gasped. "This is me father, my Mother was named Maeve."

"Oh that's nice, now are you going to let Tom go or what" Juggernaut frowned.

"How can I be sure this isn't a trick" Sean questioned.

"Wait Sean it isn't" Kitty said. "We encountered her before she has sonic powers like you and she looks like you."

Sean was reluctant. Then got up. "Fine go" he said still holding the staff.

Tom smiled and got up. He waved Juggernaut off who let Theresa fall. "Till next time cousin, now me staff" he said.

"Not part of the deal" Sean smirked. "Iceman" he said and threw it over to Bobby.

"Not a problem" Bobby nodded and iced the staff and shattered it into pieces.

"Curses get them Cain" Tom ordered.

"Finally some fun" Juggernaut nodded and began to move but Kitty grabbed him.

"Elevator down" she said and phased him through the floor before jumping off. He could be heard smashing through all the other floors.

"Well any way time to go" Tom shrugged and removed something from his belt. He threw it down to the ground and smoke filled up. When the smoke cleared he was gone.

"Blast" Sean frowned. He felt something at his feet it was Theresa.

"Father" She asked looking into his eyes.

Sean looked back at her and for some reason just knew the truth. "Daughter" he said and helped her up. He pulled her into his arms.

Kitty smiled at the reunion then realized something. "Wait what about Amara" she asked.

Interpol agents swarmed the building as Theresa pulled away from her father. "Oh yes, she is in danger we must help her" she said and led Bobby and Kitty up.

Sean looked at the sight of Interpol. "Yeah now they show up" he frowned before following the others to Amara.

Amara was still upstairs groaning in pain when they found her. "Guys you came" She moaned.

Bobby looked over her with concern. "What's wrong?" he asked.

"My legs, they hurt a lot," she muttered.

Sean took a close look and felt her legs. She moaned with pain for a moment. "Aye her legs be broken, but the medics should be able to move her. And I think I know just the place for her to stay."

"Where might that be father" Theresa asked.

"Well a place safe for mutants, Muir Island" he explained. "I'll have my men arrange us a flight" he said and got up to talk to the Interpol agents.

"It's going to be okay Amara" Bobby assured her. "Just trust me" he said.

Amara nodded. "Thanks" she nodded and managed a smile.

Kitty watched as Bobby hovered over Amara and glared at them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A day later at Muir Island Amara was being cared for in the med bay. Sean was talking to Dr. Mactaggert, the individual in charge of the facility. It seemed like they had some sort of romance going on, much to Theresa's depression. She had confirmed that Sean was Theresa's father. Bobby and Kitty had also learned she was an associate of the Professor's who had no prior knowledge to this Essex person. And lastly the X-Men were happy to find that they're old friend Rahne, was living here.

Bobby was walking to the med bay where he found Theresa and Rahne tending to Amara and the girls talking. They seemed to be getting along well. Bobby realized that he had spent a good deal of time at Amara's bedside since they had returned. For some reason he felt some sort of responsibility to her and the other new recruits, but now it seems Amara would be fine. But now he had realized he hadn't seen Kitty since they had gotten here. "Where could she be" he frowned.

He popped his head into the med bay. "Oh hey ladies have you seen Kitty" he asked.

"Oy Drake she not be here, last I saw she was out on the cliffs" Rahne" said. "Now shoo we be taking good care of Amara," she said.

Bobby nodded and went to the cliffs where he found Kitty, who was looking out at the water. "Hey Kit what are you doing out here. You might catch cold without a jacket" he smirked and walked over to her.

Kitty looked at him then turned away. "Oh like you would even notice" she frowned. "And you're not funny."

"Easy there what's wrong" Bobby asked.

Kitty frowned. "Like you don't even know, figures" she frowned. "You know why don't you just leave me alone" she said.

"Come on what's going on Kit" he asked. "Your scaring me" said as he put his hand on her shoulders. She phased away from him.

"Look thanks for caring and all but I don't need your pity" she said to him. "Why don't you go hang out with Amara" she said.

"Excuse me" Bobby said. "Wait you mean you thought, me and Amara" Bobby laughed. "Oh god that's hilarious" he laughed.

Kitty looked at him. "What's so funny? Stop laughing now" she demanded.

"Oh I'm sorry" Bobby said catching his breath. "But look anyway Amara's just a friend" he said.

"Oh really" Kitty asked.

"Look I'm not really good at this" Bobby said. "But you see maybe I haven't been clear and all but look well..." he mumbled.

"Just spit it out" Kitty said.

"Okay I love you" Bobby snapped. "You're the one I want. Okay you happy" he asked.

Kitty finally smiled. "Finally" She said simply and grabbed him. "You know you boys can be really confusing sometimes" she said then kissed him hard on the lips. "I love you too "she said.

Bobby sighed with relief. "Glad that's over" he said then realized what he said. "I meant letting you know the truth, not the kiss, that was fun" he said.

Kitty smirked. "Don't worry I know" she told him. She put a finger on his lip. "Now quiet now" she told him. "Just hold me. Something tells me that these moments of peace are going to become rare very soon" she said as held her and she just smiled.
