Chapter Eight

When Theressa woke up she was once again chained to the vertical bed across from Scott. Her head hurt like heck, she had a collar around her neck and tears were rolling down her face.

"What's wrong?" Scott asked Theressa still unwilling to say her name.

"Scott, you can call me by my name now. They know who I am. They know who everyone is."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm sorry Scott. I couldn't fight her. She was more powerful that I am, than Jean, than Xavier ever was."

"What happened?" Scott asked not understanding Theressa's wandering words.

"She read my mind to find out where everyone was and she succeeded. Now, Andi and Mian are going to have to fend for themselves because I was too weak."

"Stop right there, Theressa!" Scott said in a harsh tone. "You were not weak by any means. You simply couldn't fight that woman as you wanted to and she was too powerful for you but that doesn't mean you were or are weak. Although you didn't have to beat the General like you did."

"What does that mean?"

"Well, if you hadn't let your anger get the better of you, we might have been able to talk our way out of this."

"What? Scott we can't talk our way out of this one and you know it as well as I. These men shoot first and ask questions later. I should know, that's what they did with me!"

"Fine but you just proved General Tyler's point about us."

"What's his point?"

"That all mutants are out of control and very dangerous."

"Scott, we're not going to get out of this are we?"

Scott was shocked by Theresa's doubt because this was not like her to doubt an escape or rescue mission. "We'll get out."

"Before I passed out I was able to send a message to Jean. I just hope she got it."

In a vent in the military Base:

Who's idea was it to crawl threw the vent? Logan complained telepathically.

I believe it was your idea, Wolverine. Angel said, who was more cramped than anyone because of his wings. No, Birdbrain, I was the one who wanted to cut the guards we saw a new one but you said we should go threw the vent.

Guy's I'm getting a message from Theressa I'll patch y'all in so you can 'hear' it.

Jean, this is Theressa. They have a mutant who's more of a telepath than Xavier ever was. She's read my mind and knows where the girls and everyone else is. They will more than likely infiltrate the sewers next. Please warn them and if you can help them.

This isn't good. Jean said

No duh Jeannie. Logan replied to Jean's obvious comment.

Logan, I wasn't talking about that. I can't contact anyone back in New York because their out of my range.

Their going to have to fend for themselves. Angel said

Logan nodded and said, Let's just hope Theressa taught them well.

As of right now I'm stuck on this story so i will continue it when I am un stuck. I want to show the military invading the tunnels of the morlocks but I don't know how. so if you have any ideas i'll see what i can do.
