Chapter Six
Attacks and Gone
The X-men and the scouts appeared back in the park. Uranus set down Serena on the ground and straightened out her body. Professor Xavier moved his chair over by the two and asked Jean to come forward to help check Serena over. A few minutes had passed and Professor Xavier and Jean looked up more relaxed.
"Is she going to be ok?" asked Mercury. None if the scouts had decided to change back into their human form for fear the enemy would return.
"She has no injures that need mending, but she has some sprains, so she'll be in some pain. She just needs a few days rest that's all." said Jean. Jean looked over at the Professor and he nodded. The scouts looked at them confused. Jean stood up and brushed off her knees. "We would like it if you stayed by us in the institute. It's a home, but also a school for gifted youngsters. You are welcome there. You will also be protected there, especially Serena." The scouts looked at each other in thought. Then a low groan came from Serena whose eyes fluttered open.
"We'll take you…up on that…cough…offer." she said with a rough voice. With that being all of her strength she passed out again. Uranus bent down and picked her up again.
"I agree with her." she said.
"As do the rest of us." said Neptune. The scouts nodded. Professor Xavier smiled and then brought a walkie talkie looking device to his lips.
"Kurt, bring the X Jet to Tokyo Park. We're going home." The scouts looked at the professor in shock. They had not noticed Kurt had vanished.
"Wow this place is huge." said Lita turning around and around to see everything. The rest of the girls walked through doors and gasped at how large the place was. Even Serena had walked in. It was a two day travel in the X Jet, even with its turbo speed they could go to fast for Serena's sake. So the journey took a two days time, which was long enough for Serena to heal. Jean was surprised because she had figured Serena was going to be immobile for a few more days until she told them that her Lunerian blood heals her faster than normal humans. While they were flying as well, the scouts explained who they were and about how they were reincarnated from 1,000 years ago. The X-men had listened intensely.
"It is big, but you also have to remember this is a school as well as a mansion with at least sixty bedrooms. We also have a lower level for us X-men. We have the X Jet down there as well as our weapons that we sometimes have to use. We do not have any guns, because we do not believe in hurting anyone. We mainly only have gas hand grenades and a few light hand grenades, but that's about it. We also have an infirmary down there, like a hospital. Jean and Beast are the ones who work in the infirmary to help the sick or injured." said Ororo.
"Scott and I can show you to your rooms if you would like so that you may rest for awhile and then we can go shopping for some clothes for you." spoke Jean.
"We didn't bring any money." said Raye.
"That's alright sugar; we're stocked up on money. We always have loads to spend. That's usually what Jubilee and I do." spoke Rogue smiling at her.
"Ok."
"Alright so follow Scott and I and we'll show you to your rooms." The girls followed Jean and Scott, except for Serena who stayed next to Professor Xavier. The rest of the X-men scattered out to do their business.
"Serena," spoke Xavier to the blonde girl. Serena turned to him respectfully. "You will be protected here, so you need not to worry. But I do have to lay out ground rules. You and the other girls mustn't leave here with out the X-men. If you are going out to the city to shop or eat, then you may not wonder of alone. If my hunches are right, the enemy will track you down again and lure you once more into their grasp. Do you understand?"
"Yes sir. I just have one question."
"Yes."
"Do you have a pool, because it's roasting?" smiled Serena. Rogue appeared from no where and the Professor smiled.
"Rogue can take you to your room and then the pool. The scouts and X-men deserve a break tonight. I'll go get Gambit, I'm sure he'll want to go swimming." The professor wheeled off leaving Rogue and Serena alone.
"Come on hun, I'll fly you to your room." Rogue lifted Serena off the ground and the two flew off in the direction of the bedrooms. It only took a few seconds to get there. "Here you go; I'll be back later after I tell others that we're gonna go swimming. Actually there are some spare clothes in the dressers, I'm sure there will be a bathing suit in there for you." Rogue nodded and flew off again.
."Wait, can all of you fly?" Serena asked. It was a question that was bugging her for awhile.
"No, only Storm and I can. Jean can only levitate. I'll be back later." The Rogue lifted off the ground and flew away. Serena turned around and walked into her room.
Just two days ago she was rescued by the X-men and she was halfway around the world staying at their mansion.
Serena rummaged through the dresser and found a swim suit that was just her size. She smiled and looked at the design. It was a white bikini with little pink roses on both the top and bottom parts. She walked over to the bathroom and shut the door. Serena stripped off her clothes and slipped into the bikini. She folded her clothes and set them on the toilet. She then slipped on her sandals again. She grabbed a towel, as she passed the mirror she stopped and looked at her reflection. Her expression was sad and looked like it held years of wisdom that was passed from her mother to her. She undid her hair and felt it more relaxing. She should keep her hair down for awhile. It looked better a little, except for the fact that she looked like Mina now. Well for the exception that her hair was much longer than hers.
Serena stepped out of the bathroom and saw lotion sitting on the dresser. She read the label and smiled. It was her favorite scent. 'Crystal Rose'. She spread some over her body and then sat down on the bed and waited for Rogue to come back.
A few minutes later there was a knock on the door and a male voice called in for her. She didn't recognize it.
"Petite are you in there?" he called. Serena knew must've been another X-man. She also found that a weird name to call her.
"Yes, I'm here, you can come in." she responded. The door opened and a tall guy walked in. He had broad shoulders, an eight pack, a nice darker tan, brown hair and eyes she never seen before. They were actually all black. Though for some reason she wasn't freaked out about it, she thought him rather handsome. All he was wearing was swimming trunks and a towel around his shoulders.
"Rogue sent me to get you; she became busy when Jean asked for her help. The others are already heading down there, except for professor X, Logan, Jean, and Scott. They are doing research on the guy who kidnapped you. Don't worry they filled me in on everything." he stopped talking and looked at her. She wore a sad expression on her face. "Is everything alright?"
"Huh, oh no, you just remind me of my ex-boyfriend, Darien and Ri- ummm never mind; let's g to o the pool." She spoke half heartedly.
"Sure, can you keep up?" he asked. He figured he'd race her so that she would cheer up. Before she could answer, he took of running. Serena realized a second later what was going on and shot after him. She was grateful for the everyday run to get to school before she was late.
Gambit and Serena slid into the pool room at the same time. They both dropped their towels and dived into the pool. The room fell into laughter by the scouts, Rogue, Ororo, Kurt, Evan, Kitty, and a new girl with short black hair and brown eyes.
"Wow, you have a diving board. 3 of them!" exclaimed Serena swimming back to the side of the pool. "Let's have a contest between you and me. The one who does the best dive wins. And the others are the judges and they have to be fair in the judging. You up to it?"
"You bet. The two highest boards are twenty-five feet. You afraid of heights?"
"Not a chance." The others watched intensely as they climbed to the top of the tallest ones. Serena made the first dive. She backed away from the edge and then took a running jump of the edge. She did 3 back flips and then hit the water in proper position.
It was Gambit's turn and he also took a running jump. He did to front flips and then landed in canon ball position.
The two swam to the edge of the pool by the others. There had been a tie between the two. Raye helped Serena out of the water and walked smoothly behind her. Raye got suspicious too late. Serena had already started to push her in. Everyone followed suit and jumped in. No sooner was everyone did they choose sides for a water fight and shark attack.
Professor X, Scott, Jean and Logan were in the library discussing when they should start training.
"We can start their train right after breakfast. We can break them into groups to make it easier." spoke Jean. Logan looked at her.
"We shouldn't automatically assume they need to be trained; I mean they have different kind of powers than us. For all we know they could be ten times stronger than any of us. We should just give them a test run and see how they do and if they can work as a team."
"I agree with Logan." spoke the professor. "Anyways it's getting late and we need to get some rest before tomorrow. The girls should be in their rooms by now so you can just go directly to yours."
"Good night professor." said Jean, Scott and Logan. The four dispersed into different directions.
Serena stood in the shower in deep thought as she washed the chlorine from her body and hair.
'Gambit is different from Darien. He's funnier and he can actually have fun. He doesn't have a book in his hand at all times. He stares at you, to let you know that he's listening like when I told him he reminded me of Darien. Oh Rini.' Serena finished washing her hair and moved onto her body. She washed her neck and moved the sponge to her shoulders then her breasts and onto her stomach.
All of a sudden a shadow moved across the curtain away from the direction of the door. Serena began screaming as loudly as she could. As soon as she heard pounding the bedroom door, she burst out from the closed curtain and out of the bathroom. She didn't bother to grab a towel, too afraid of what was in the bathroom behind her. Gambit, Ororo, Rogue, Jubilee, Raye and Amy burst into the room.
Serena pointed to the bathroom. Raye took off her robe and covered Serena. Rogue and Ororo then went into the bathroom and checked it out while the others stood by Serena who was shaking badly.
Serena was panting and gasping for air. Her face was streaming with tears. Gambit put his arm around her and Serena buried her face into his chest. Rogue and Ororo came out of the bathroom and looked her with worried faces.
"Poor child, she had the shit scared right out of her." said Ororo. She turned back to the bathroom and shut the door and locked it. While she did that Gambit walked Serena to the bed. Rogue, Raye and Amy followed them and knelt down in front of Serena.
"Hun, can you tell us what happened?" asked Rogue. Serena lifted her head and looked at the others. Serena was sopping wet and cold, but she nodded her head.
"I was washing up when I saw the shadow figure move over the curtain. It looked like he or she walked in because they walked away from the direction of the door." She stopped and continued to shiver.
Jubilee let out an ear piercing scream and everyone's head shot in her direction. A man with purple hair and seaweed green eyes had his arm around her neck. They could tell Jubilee was loosing air and fast. With a flash of light the two were gone.
"NO!" yelled Rogue and Gambit. Serena clenched tighter his black muscle shirt. He looked down at her. He could see the fear in her eyes.
"Alright partner up, we have to go get the others. Gambit you stay with Serena and make sure she gets dressed." ordered Ororo. Ororo and Rogue went left down the hallway to tell everyone and Raye and Amy went right.
Gambit released Serena and walked over to the dresser and got out some clothes. He grabbed a nightshirt and boxers for her. He walked back and handed them to her.
"Can you please turn around while I change?" she asked. Gambit turned around, but he kept his sites on her through the mirror. He didn't need the guy coming back and getting her to.
Serena dropped the robe and set it on the bed. She turned a little too far by accident to grab the nightshirt that she had set on the end of the bed. Gambit not only had a good view of her back side, but the side of her breasts as well, not leaving out her nipples. Gambit swore under his breath for beginning to feel a little awkward at the moment and he tried to take his mind off of her body, but found that it was rather difficult, because he had to watch her get dressed in order to keep eye on her. It also didn't help when she sat down on the bed to put on the boxers allowing him to have a full look of her lower half.
He closed his eyes and groaned to himself. 'God damn it, I hate this. Well I can't really hate it, I mean I'm a guy and I have hormones and shit. Besides I can't help it that she has a hot body that guys would love to touch it. Anyways I'm supposed to be watching her.'
"Can we go find the others now?" she asked looking at him through the mirror. He sighed in relief hopefully she thought he had his eyes closed as he faced the mirror, because when she was looking at him he had his head bent forward and eyes closed.
Raye's voice came on her communicator and told them to meet in the library.
"What! No! No! No!" said Serena softly as tears welled in her eyes. Ororo repeated what she had said as Professor Xavier and Scott walked in.
"Professor. Jubilee, Jean, Mina, Michelle, Kitty, Evan and Lita were taken tonight. By what we don't know. We only saw Jubilee get take by a man with purple hair and green eyes. I'm assuming her was leading the rest of the kidnappers."
"They were taken by demons of some sort. I didn't make it in time to save Jean, all I saw were demons take her." spoke Logan.
"They're called youmas. They do another's bidding." chimed in Serena as she got over her shock. As she faced the others they saw the anger in her eyes. "We can't fool around anymore, we must partner up. From now on we must train, eat and sleep. When we sleep, we sleep in twos or threes. I don't want anyone getting kidnapped again. We have to train as hard as we can. Professor, do you have a phone I can use?" she said looking at everyone.
"Yes, just down the hall on the right at the corner." He responded. "May I ask why you need it?"
"My ex-boyfriend is one of us. He can help. Then there is a child, so is she. Her name is Rini. Then you already met Luna and Artemis, also their child Diana. Those three may be cats, but they will be a great help in this." Serena looked at Amera and Amera knew to follow her. Before the two left, Serena spoke again. "Pick your sleeping buddies. I'm sleeping with Amera, Raye and Michelle. So another group of four and a group of three." With that Amera and Serena turned and left.
"Wow, can she ever take the lead and give orders." said Kurt in shock.
"Don't underestimate her." said Raye softly.
Three rings went through the telephone before Darien walked over to it and picked it up. He looked at the caller ID but didn't recognize the number. He raised the phone to his ear anyways.
"Hello?" he answered tiredly.
"Darien, its Serena." Serena started.
"Serena, I can't start this now. Rini's sleeping on the couch."
"Darien shut up!" she yelled somewhat in the phone. "I don't want to talk about us right now, just fucking listen to me." She told him all about everything that happened in the last few days. Even about her kidnapping. Serena ended the conversation by telling him that they needed to come out A.S.A.P., she then said good-bye and hung up.
Darien woke up Rini and Diana and explained the situation. He told her to go over to Serena's and retrieve Luna and Artemis and return back to his apartment. After she left he hopped in the shower. When he was done and was dressed he called his friend, Andrew, and asked for a ride to the airport. No later than seven A.M was he, Rini, Diana, Luna and Artemis on their way.
