EX626 could hear the foul woman off in the distance. All the while, hundreds and thousands of miles away, the world's greatest telepath sat in his wheelchair, scanning the globe of mutant activity. When he got the reading from EX626, he acted immediately.
"Try not to frighten him Jean, Scott," the two mutants left Professor Xavier's office and went down to the hanger and took off in the X-Jet.
"Jean where is he," Scott looked to her as the X-Jet flew above the Mississippi River. Jean used her telepathy to scan EX626's mind. She could feel how scared he was, some place he was heading. "Jean?"
"I don't know," they were now above a huge wheat field, according to the map, a few 100 miles from The Centre. Scott could see something moving through the field and took the X-Jet down.
When the wind picked up, EX626 froze. He heard a swishing sound, made by the door opening, in the distance and turned his head in all directions trying to figure where the noise came from. Scott whispered something to Jean and they both walked forward, EX626 started to take a couple of steps back.
"Whoever you are, stay where you are," EX626 gripped his stalf tightly. Jean stopped Scott from advancing.
"We don't mean to hurt you. We're friends." She slowly began to walk to EX626, but he did nothing. Jean came closer to him and he seemed that he didn't realize it as he was looking over in Scott's direction. All of a sudden EX626 reacted to something, he turned his head the turned back to Jean.
"We have to leave, I'm being followed." EX626 took her hand and started to run. The two big men came up in the clearing, Scott was the first to see and got back in the X-Jet starting the engine. The men were loading tranquilizers into their small hand guns. EX626 was helped into the aircraft.
"Scott go now!" Jean sat in the seat next to him, as EX626 took a seat in the middle. As they began to take off, the clinging of the tranquilizers could be heard ricocheting off from the outside.
As they gained altitude Jean looked back to EX626 to see if he was alright. "What were those guys after you for."
"Iveescapedfromtheirfacilities." He mumbled very quickly.
"Sorry," she asked. It was really better if she didn't know, but they did save him back there, he'd hope.
"I've escaped from their facilities. They exploit smart kids like me, using our knowledge for their own good." He started to fiddle with his seatbelt.
"What's your name," Scott finally asked.
"I can't remember. They've only given us codenames, so, I guess I'm EX626."
"Can we call you Stitch for short," Jean asked, but he looked at her strangely. "You know, from Lilo & Stitch. The little evil alien turned good." He still didn't comprehend, but allowed them to call him that.
