We were still waiting on the sidewalk when Angel came back. I had never seen the streets of New York so quiet before. It was as if the whole state had been turned into a graveyard. When Angel got back we planned our next move.
"She gonna be all right?" I asked Angel in a worried voice. I was worried that she would have a concussion or something bad would happen and her parents would be mad. I didn't want that to happen.
"She'll be fine. Her parents were notified just as I left. I don't think we've been properly introduced. I mean you know who I am but I haven't the slightest clue as to who you are."
"I'm Black Fox. My friends and I were transported; I guess you could say, here to help you and the X-men but the only problem now is that two X-men are missing and six have been captured. We, or at least I, have no idea where they could have been taken. Do you have any insight? Either of you?" By this time I honestly didn't have a clue where any of the X-men where. I couldn't get a link on anyone and to tell you the truth I was scared that they might have been killed.
"Fox, why don't we get off the street so that we can talk more privately?" Wolverine suggested. His voice brought me out of my frantic day dreaming.
"Okay, I know the perfect place. Follow me." Angel said as he took to the skies once more. I flew after Angel. Before we had gotten far, Wolverine was yelling at us.
"Hey, What a bout me feather head?" I turned around and telekinetically lifted Wolverine up to my level. When Wolverine saw me I had a huge smile on my face.
"Stop laughin' kid it isn't funny. It was par o' your fault too. You could a gotten me as easily as Angel could have. Next time remember what yer doin' and who's will yah before you go off chasing after feather head up there."
When Wolverine was finished I looked up at Angel and he motioned to land. I looked down and saw that we were now above miles and miles of trees.
"I was not chasing after Angel and you know it! I was following him becasue he told us to." "
Why did yah forgget me? "
"I......I.....I...."
"That's my point exactly."
" Okay, fine. You win but I have to admit he is kind of cute."
" You do remember that you are still married right?"
" Yeah, of course I do."
We followed Angel, now on foot, for a while and then we stopped in the middle of a clearing.
"What's wrong?" I asked as I moved to Angel's side.
"Nothing. I'm looking for something." He replied as he searched the trees with his eyes.
"What, you loose your hideout feather head?" Wolverine said in a friendly sarcastic kind of way.
"Very funny Wolverine. I know exactly where it is." Angel's voice didn't sound too confident. I opened a psi link with him.
Are you telling the truth?> I asked.
Not really. I know where it is but I can't find it. This happens every time I leave. I eventually find it. It just takes a while. >
"I'm going to go scout a head to make sure no sentinels are coming." I said as I was about to fly off but before I could two things happened. Angel found the hide out and Wolverine heard something in the bushes behind us.
"I think it my be a little to late for that kid." He said as he unsheathed his claws. I flew up just a few feet to see if I could see who it was and I did.
"Wolverine, put those claws...." Before I could finish my sentence Wolverine charged at the coming figures. I in return grabbed Wolverine (telekinetically) and lowered myself to the ground.
"Cool it Wolverine!" A voice that I recognized said. "It's just us."
The figure stepped to reveal himself. It was Scott! Then three more figures came out. One was Jean the other two I had no idea who it was. There was a man and a woman. The man had blond hair and on his costume had a big, white, circle on his cheat and had a smaller, thinner, white circle on the out side of the first circle. The woman had green hair that was tied up into a pony tail. Her costume was green as well.
"Scott who's this?" the man asked pointing at Angel.
"Havoc, Polaris," Scott addressed the young couple, "This is one of my old friends, Angel." Havoc approached Angel and shock his hand and then Polaris did the same.
"This is Black Fox. You all ready know Wolverine" Jean said pointing to me. Evidentially she knew that Scott was forgetting to introduce me to his friends.
"Nice to meet you." Polaris said as she came up to me and shock my hand as well. Havoc did the same after her.
"So, Angel where are we headed?" Cyclops asked as he tried to take charge of the small group.
"We're headed to my hide out. There we will be safe long enough for us to think of a why to get the others out. Follow me." Angel walked a little ways ahead of us and then fell, at least that's how it looked, threw a covered up whole in the ground. We ran over to him to see if he was okay.
"Yah all right Angel?" I asked as I lowered myself into the whole with him. He was on his feet and didn't look hurt. Apparently he meant to do what he just did. I motioned for the others to come down with us. I looked around and saw three tunnels. They were all pitch black and no one except for Wolverine could see down them. Angel lit a troche and hung it up on the wall. He then took a second one and led us down the first dark tunnel. As we walked down the tunnel I felt like I was in the sewers with the Morlocks. Only the walls of the tunnels were made of dirt and we weren't walking threw sewage water. Finally, we got to a large room and in the center of the room was a small table with a map of what looked like the landscape up above us.
"This is our map room. It's nothing like the X-men's but it does justice. So, I've heard that the other X-men are missing." Angel said as he walked to the opposed side of the table.
"Fox, you got a plan?" Cyclops asked me.
I looked at him and said, "What are you asking me for? I thought you were the one that always came up with the plans?"
"I am but when I was working on the jet Andi came in there and told me who you like to take charge and use your plans so I thought that I might let you take over this time. So, you got a plan yet?"
"Not yet. I honestly thought you would be the one coming up with the plans. All I know is that we need to find the place where they are holding them and bust them out somehow. We will probably need to got in bust them out and then get our sorry little butts out of there before we get caught." No one said any thing for a while but finally, Angel broke the silence after looking at the map for a very log time.
"The others are being held in the west wing of the camp. We won't be able to get to the west wing or even inside the camp because every door is guarded by at least three guards. We wouldn't even make it five steps before the sentinels killed us. This time I think the X-men have bitten off more than they can chew."
When Angel said this it made him sound like he didn't want to help us find our friends and that we were all crazy for even trying. I couldn't believe what I was hearing so I spoke up.
"So your saying we are just going to sit here and do nothing?" At the tone of my voice everyone stepped back a little, all except Angel of course.
"What other choice do we have?" Angel asked looking into my angry and shocked face.
"I'll tell you what other choice we have." I said in a low growl as I felt my scar turn a fiery red. "We can get our flammin' butts goin' and save the X-men. I have a daughter, my husband and my daughter's boyfriend to worry about. You might be willing to not do anything to save them but I am not! I am not going to sit around and loose my family this way. Not as long as I can do something about it!"
I flew out of the room and down the long tunnel and back to the room that we had started in. Just before I was going to fly threw the hole, Jean stopped me.
"Fox, you want company?" She asked as she walked closer to me. I thought for a few moments and was going to say no but then I saw Angel chasing after Jean and I and I didn't want to talk anymore.
"Yeah, sure Jean you can come." I said. I took off before she did but waited for her so we could talk. I knew this was going to be a long mission so I was glad I had someone to talk to along the way.
