Hey hope you liked the two priecious chapters.

Chapter Three

"I won't tell you anything!" Scott screamed at the top of his longs as he was strapped to a horizontal be and a color was placed around his neck. He could only assume that it was to neutralize his powers.

"Oh, I beg to differ, Mr. Summers." Said a man whose voice was made of evil and there was not even the smallest hint of good with in the tone.

"Who are you?" Scott asked as the bed was, remotely, moved vertically.

"I am General Steve Tyler. I am in charge of the gathering of all mutants and placing them in jail or camps the chose is mine."

"Mutants are just as much human as humans themselves. The only difference is that we have an extra ability that normal people don't have. What ever happened to freedom, human rights?"

"Those things flew out the window when a mutant tried to kill a senator last week. She walked into his home, entered his mind and tormented him until he went insane. At that point the only way out was to die. So he found his fire place pick and drove that into his heart. You see, Mr. Summers, mutants don't have rights anymore. You are now going to be prisoners of war and you will either do as I say or die."

"Prisoners of war? This isn't a war."

"It is now."

Beneith the Streets of Manhattan:

"You wanted to see my Storm?" Caliban asked as he walked into the room the mutants had moved to.

"Actually, Caliban," Theressa said walking over to the man. "I was the one who called for you. Your power is to scence the presence of other mutants, right?"

"Yes, that is correct."

"Then, I want you to find the ex-X-men known as Cyclops, Scott Summers. We need to know where he is so we can rescue him"

Caliban nodded his head and then closed his eyes and searched for Scott with in his limited 25 mile radias. He opened his eyes and looked back at Theressa and then at Jean.

"I'm sorry but I could not find him. He must be out of my range or..."

"Don't finish that sentence, Caliban. He's alive and I know it. He's just out of your range. Thank you for trying, that will be all. You may go and relieve Calisto of her duty and retake your post." Caliban nodded again as he said goodbye and then turned to everyone else. "All right, we need to find Scott. Caliban couldn't find him so I think it's safe to say that he's no longer in this state." Theresa began to passsing; much like Chris used to do, and thought out loud to help with her thought process. "We will also need a way together. Want we need is Cerebro and the X-jet."

"Fox, the place is probably full of guys with P 90's and Bazookas by now. Even if we could get in we can't guarantee that we could get out." Angel said gently as Jean tended to his broken wing.

"Then we go in there with a plan. Any suggestions?" Theressa asked looking at Warren. He loved how she looked when her scar turned red. He didn't know why but there was something about her that he found attractive. He even thought he was beginning to fall in love with her but she had to have a husband somewhere. After all she had two girls and wore a wedding ring on her ring finger. He figured he'd either ask Wolverine or Jean later but for right now, he needed to try and come up with a plan.

Andi saw her mom come back into the main area, with the other X-men. She had her jacket on that she had grabbed before they left, so she, Mian, Leech, Knole and Nethogent walked over to her.

"Mom," Andi asked, "Can we go with you?"

"What makes you think I'm leaving?" Theressa asked her daughters.

"You have your jacket on." Mian replied.

"Well, I am leaving for a little bit. Logan, Jean and I are going back to the Mansion for the Blackbird and to use Cerebro."

"Mom, that place is crawling with troops." Mian cried.

"That's what I said." Angel replied.

"If we want to find Scott, which I know we all do, we need to use Cerebro and we will need to use the jet to get to him. It's not going to do us or him any bit of good if we know where he is but can't get to him with in 24 hours." Theressa was about to leave with Logan and Jean when Angel stopped her. "Who all's going?"

"Me, Logan and Jean."

"Why not me?"

"Because your wing is hurt and you need to sit this one out."

"Theressa let me go, please! I can help, despite my wing." Theresa looked at Logan and Jean.

What do you guys think? Theressa said telepathically to Logan and Jean

I'd say birdbrain's got a thing for you, T. Logan commented.

Dad!

I think Logan's right Theressa. Why else would he want to come on a mission when he's hurt unless it was to make sure you came back in one piece? Jean asked. Let him come and you be the judge.

"Fine, Warren you can come. Girls stay here with Beast and Storm. If we can we'll come back for you guys." Theressa said walking out of the main tunnel with Logan Warren and Jean in tow.
