BlueSkiesrusty: I know it was VERY VERY short... But I didn't wanna make it longer, because this chap was gonna be long and filled with explanations and such. Plus the REAL actiony part is coming up! SO FORGIVE ME! and here is the next chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't own the X-Men or the Brotherhood.

Things didn't get any better from there. Only a few days later I was on the streets getting beat up by anti-mutant gangs, and constantly being caught in the act of trying to find something to eat. I didn't realise it then, but it had been almost two weeks. A few times I saw the X-Men out looking for me, they really were persistant.

I knew I looked like Shit. I was skinny, filthy, and my skin had gone to a pukey, horribley sick colored green. My eyes were bloodshot from crying and lack of sleep. And I was covered in multiple bruises and cuts. I had a shiner on my left eye that stung to the touch, and a large cut on my cheek where somebody had pulled a knife on me. I don't know how I was still alive, but I was. And at this point I hardly cared if I was arrested.

So there I was, walking down the street in my ripped, tattered clothes, a hooded sweatshirt covering my face. People gave me looks, a small child even pointed and asked his mother why I was so covered up in the middle of spring. But I didn't care. I was hungry, tired, and in need of a shower. It was about an hour later, I couldn't be sure, my watch was broken, when a wind blew my hood down in the middle of a crowded street, it took a moment for me to notice, and just a milisecond more for the people around me to scream at my cut and bruised green features.

People screamed, mothers picked up their kids and ran. I held up my hands. "Hey! Waitaminute! I'm not-" Nobody heard me. Somebody called the police, sirens could be heard and I saw a news chopper appear overhead. I ran for cover. Finding nothing, I began to scale a wall, maybe I could escape.

Please let Toad or one of the Brotherhood be watching the news...

I really must be pathetic. Hoping the ones who kicked me out would save my sorry behind.

I was walking down into the, well, I wouldn' really call it a rec room. It was more a mini hang out for when your bored. I turned on the TV and wot do I see? A green mutant leaping about on the channel six news. I know imediatly it's Serah. I watch for a minute. I see her fall and slime a cop. She jumped back at the building she hasbeen trying to scale for the past few minutes. I stared at the flickering screen. I knew she wasn' gonna win this battle.

Wait a sec... If she's out there, tryin' to ger away from the cops, tha' means she isn't with the X-Geeks. Holy SHYTE!

I shook my head and ran out of th' room. I run for Magneto who was in his study. "Magneto! Turn on th' news now!" He gave me a weird look but complied:

Right now in New York city a battle is waging against a green mutant that has been reported as Seraphim Sanders. Reported missing over a month ago, her parent's had clarified she was a dangerous mutant and should not be approached, as these pictures show.

Photos of cops with there faces slimed were shown, some with bruises from her powerful legs.

Magneto imediatly shut it off and turned to me. "What do you propose we do?" Magneto was asking ME for advice? Or was he just asking my opinion. "I say we go and 'elp 'er. If th' cops are after 'er then it's obvious she's not with th' X-Men isn' it?" He nodded. "Right. Start the helicopter, i'll alert the others." And before he was finished I was outta there.

Not far away, in WestChester...

Logan was watching the news, he sat there gaping at the pathetic scene on the screen. (( Hey that rhymed! )) The green mutant that Xavier had wanted to help so badly was making a fool of herself and the cops weren't doing any better. After he came to his senses he stood up and ran to find Chuck. He'd probably already know, but he was gonna call on him eventually.

He soon found himself strapped in the jet, and ready for action.

Serah

I fell again from the roof, I had been shot in the arm by a cop and it was stinging like hell. I landed on the ground in pain and could not get up. The cops approached me with caution this time, smart. Their guns pointed at my head one of them jabbed me with one of those things they carry around to beat people with.(1)I lurched and clutched my stomach. I wanted to throw up but I couldn't because my stomach was empty.

I heard two different noises. One, the steady Whump Whump Whump of a newhelicopter. And the droning Whirrrrr of a jet.

And from these noises I knew two things. One: The X-Men were here. And Two:

The Brotherhood had come to help me.

I hope this makes up for the miserable chapter earlier! It really was crap! And sory this took so long to write, I'm doing homework::frantically scribbles out something on her paper:
