Hey y'all. Enjoy and please review. Thanks everyone for your support.

Bobby ran through the snow towards Rouge holding a bandana. Rouge had already stolen Scott's visor so she could see without destroying everyone around her.

"What's that for?" She asked.

"It's to keep Scott from doing anything if he wakes up anytime soon," Bobby said. "We need to get him in to the Professor so we can figure out what's going on."

Together they blindfolded Scott and had just hoisted him over their shoulders when a sharp piece of wood grazed Rouge's shoulder, ripping her jacket. "Spike, crap."

"Hurry!" Bobby said.

But Rouge turned to face Spike. "Go, I'll try to hold him off while you get Scott inside," she said.

Bobby had no time to argue. He didn't want to think about what would happen if Scott woke up before he got him to the professor. As he ran toward the house he heard the sound of wood exploding in the air, but he didn't look back.

"Come on Spike, don't make me hurt you," Rouge said, under her breath.

They faced each other as if in a draw, just waiting for the other to move. Their breath came out coated in steam and neither budged from their positions. It was a stalemate. Spike tried one more time to send a stake at Rouge but this time it burst into flames and disintegrated before it was three inches from his hand. Rouge looked beyond Spike to see an odd sight. Asher, Andie's older brother, stood in the open gate, his hands on his hips and a smug grin on his face.

Spike growled and sent an army of stakes at the new comer. Then things really got strange. From behind Asher a long green tongue whipped out and wrapped itself around three spikes, the ground rumbled and a branch fell from the tree above landing on two of them, and finally Blob caught the last of them, snapping them like tooth picks in his massive hands. Toad and Avalanche came to stand beside Blob and Asher. The Brotherhood had come to help. Strange indeed.

Rouge used the distraction to her advantage, she ran up behind Spike and knocked him unconscious with one blow of her heel, she didn't want another man in her head. She was about to say something to the Brotherhood when all of a sudden the ground shook, and everyone knew it wasn't because of Avalanche.

They all looked beyond the gates to see not one, but three Sentinel's standing at their gates with an army of Morlocks at their feet.

One word ran through all their minds. "Crap."
