A/N: thanks for the reviews! I hope you enjoy this chapter!
Chapter Four
Two months passed and by now the whole western half of the world had seen the affects of the virus, witch was now being called the Legacy Virus. Parts of Europe had also seen the Legacy Virus but not as many deaths had been reported in Europe as in the United States, or in New York for that matter. In the last two months dozens of mutants have fallen ill with the legacy virus and many have tried to find a cure for it but failed.
Beast and Jean had been working on the virus to find a cure but hadn't come up with one as of yet. Moira McTaggertt was also working on finding a cure on Muire Island but her efforts proved fruitless as well. The students of the Xavier Mansion were still at the hide out and would remain there indefinitely as decided by Jean and Theressa. Each day Theressa called Moira, Banshee and Scott to see how things were going and if any progress had been made.
Then one night when she was talking to Banshee and Scott, via the link in her office, Angel, who held a newspaper, came into her office.
"Banshee, How's Emma?" Theressa asked kindly.
"Better. She's no longer running a fever but she is still aching all over. We are still convinced that it is not the Legacy Virus and she is no longer contagious."
"Play it on the safe side, Sean." Scott said answering Banshee before Theressa could.
"No wait a second Scott. You said Emma had a fever?"
"Yeah, it got up to a hundred and three two days ago, why do you ask?"
"Michael never had a fever and he's not getting better. In fact he's getting worse and according to him it's a miracle he's lived this long. Have a doctor come to you and check her out. I'm thinking she's fine and doesn't have the Virus. Guys I've got to drop off for a little bit, if that's all right. I'm going to go check on Michael and call ya'll later. All right?"
"All right, Lass. Go take care of your boy." Sean said hanging up the phone and then Scott smiled at Theressa and said, "Give Michael my best, Theressa."
"I always do Cyke. Talk to you later. Bye." Theressa said hanging up the visual link that hung on the wall of her office. Theresa grabbed a remote and hit a few buttons and the TV/phone device spun back into the wall.
Warren walked farther into the room and said, "I didn't know you had one of those in here."
"Neither did I until I came in here and my wall was ringing. Who's down stairs with Michael?" Theressa asked as she yawned. She hadn't slept very well in the past months considering the fact that she was the one staying up with Michael every night and actually singing the teenage boy to sleep.
"Logan, Jean and Nethogent and Xavier. Are you sure it's a good idea to let Nethogent inside the quarantine unit? I mean couldn't he get sick too?" Angel asked as he sat in the chair across from Theressa's desk and she leaned back into her rolly chair.
"No, the Legacy Virus only affect's mutants and there have yet to be any cases of humans getting the virus. So are you here on business or pleasure." Theressa asked and seeing the look on Warren's face said, "Warren, I'm sorry, that came out wrong. It's been a long two months and…"
"T it's all right, I know how hard it's been on you. I came here to show you something but I could use a kiss if that's all right?"
Theressa smiled as she jumped out of her chair, sat in Warren's lap as she kissed him romantically. She loved the bird-man and couldn't believe she loved him as deeply as she did. After Chris died she thought she'd never fall in love again but for the first time in her life, The Black Fox was glad that she was wrong.
"So what did you want to show me?" Theressa finally asked still sitting on her boyfriend's lap as he pulled out the newspaper he'd been holding.
"Well, on the front page of the paper today there was a team of mutants going to a place in the Himalayas, trying to get this High Evolutionary's Isotope E. I thought you might be interested in it." Angel gave Theressa the paper as she read it aloud.
"A mutant team known as the brotherhood has teamed up with other mutants in order to reach the High Evolutionary's Isotope E. It is rumored that the Isotope is a cure for the legacy virus and then again others say it is just a myth, just like the Greek and Egyptian gods and goddesses." Theressa looked up from the paper and said, "If they get the Isotope then they could cure this cancer of a virus for all mutants. This means that Michael will live!"
Just then Wolverine came in and shut the door, even though no students were in the hall way. When he did this it meant something was wrong, so Theressa jumped off of Warren's lap and ran to her father and said, "Dad what's wrong? Give it to me strait so that I don't have to probe your mind."
Logan sighed and then said, "Michael's gone into a coma and Jeannie doesn't think he'll wake up." Logan wasn't entirely finished talking to his daughter but she telekinetically open the door and flew down to see her son with Logan and Warren following behind.
