All recognizable characters belong to Marvel not me. Once again this story goes AU, and a word to those reading this, the villainess in this story is completely insane. Therefore, her logic will not at any point in time resemble our earth logic.
When we last left our teachers, they had been abucted by persons unknown. Now we rejoin them as they come to.
Place: undisclosed location Sean opened his eyes slowly as his senses returned. He searched his memories, trying to recall why he was waking up in what seemed to be the middle of the day.
'Let's see, Emma and I were arguing, then Jean came in. Why cannae I remember, anything after tha?' He pondered to himself and tried to scratch his chin, realizing as he did so, his arms were bound to what seemed to be a table. His feet were similarly bound and felt a tingling sensation. He tried to look around, but his motion was limited, all he could see was directly above him, and to his right. Emma was bound to a table on his right, wearing only a thin hospital gown. Her legs were raised in the air and bound to stirrups She was still unconscious, and that worried him immensely. He tried to use his powers and that was when he noticed the odd bracelet on his ankle.
"Emma, Emma wake up! WAKE UP!" He shouted trying to wake his fellow teacher. He watched as her eyes slowly opened, and she started, as if someone had poked her. She tried to move, and look at her surroundings, but found she was quite firmly secured. Emma noticed that she was in stirrups and began to panic. She thought of the possibilities of what might have been done to her, and the fact that her underwear was missing was another ominous sign. She began to struggle harder, reddening her wrists and ankles in a futile attempt to free herself. Sean realized Emma was starting to hyperventilate, and called out.
"Emma, lass, stop. You've got to calm down, you are only making things worse. We are bound tight, panicking will nae do us any good." He paused as she turned her head to look at him. He could see tears shining in her eyes, but she refused to let them fall. Sean continued to talk to her gently.
"We'll be fine, Emma, just fine. Now can ye tell me, are ye hurt anywhere?" She glanced at him, and told him, in a shaky voice.
"I don't think so, my wrists are a little sore, though. What happened, Sean? We were arguing, Jean showed up, then, we ended up here."
Sean was relieved, Emma seemed to be calmer. Now, they just had to get free and check on their
"Oh God, The STUDENTS!" Emma suddenly shouted, her breathing accelerated, feeling panicky and claustrophobic, "Sean we have to get out of here NOW! I can't lose them, we must get back." Sean kept his head, trying to soothe her as best he could.
"Em, the kids will be fine, we've trained them well. They know if anything happens to us, who to call. Everett will take charge, they will be all right. Let's worry about one thing at a time, where are we? Who kidnapped us?" Sean was so intent on calming Emma, neither of them realized their captor had walked in. Until she spoke,
"Not to worry, Sean, Emma, you have nothing to worry about. Everything is under control."
"Jean, Have ye gone completely daft woman? What do ye think ye're doing, lass?" "Jean" smiled coldy and said to him,
"Now Sean, that would be telling. I know these tables are not comfortable, but you will be given your room in a while. Try to relax CeeCee will see to you momentarily." She swept regally out of the room, closing and locking it behind her.
Snow Valley, Xavier's School:
All of the students, except for Artie and Leech were leaning against the door. They were hoping to hear yet another entertaining argument between their teachers. Everett frowned at the silent room, wondering why neither Mrs. Frost or Mr. Cassidy had made any sort of noise for almost an hour. He turned to the other students,
"It has been too quiet in there, I wonder what they are doing." Artie made an image with his powers that made the other students step back. Jubilee chuckled
"Wow, guess you already know the facts of life already, huh kiddo." Jubilee shuddered inwardly at the thought of catching her teachers in a compromising position. Squaring her shoulders, hoping she was wrong, Jubilee prepared herself to walk into the gym.
"All right everyone, something is NOT right here. I'm going in. If I"m not back in 10 minutes, Frosty has fried my brains, and you can divy up my stuff."
Jubilee walked in the gym, while the other students waited. They didn't hear anything and were all looking nervous, except of course for M. Then they heard Jubilee shouting,
"Hey, you guys better get in here, like NOW!" They raced in to find only Jubilee with no sign of either teacher.
Oh Bollucks! came from Chamber telepathically. The students turned around to face him, and he quickly brought their attention back to the matter at hand. Uh, guys, let's focus on the issue at hand, where are Frost and Cassidy That was all the nudge Everett needed. With a few quick thoughts, he started planning the teams next move.
"OK everyone, here's the plan: M, you and Chamber find Penance, then pack your things, stay together. Artie and Leech, go with Gaia and Angelo, all of you pack as well. Jubes, you and I will make the phone calls, you call the X-men, get them here, and I will call Paige. M, if you could try to contact Miss Frost psionically. Everyone get me? Good, let's go." Everyone nodded at Everett. They broke into their groups and headed off in their groups.
With in an hour, everyone was seated in the Blackbird, heading for Westchester. Hoping for answers, hoping that their teachers were all right.
So a little longer, What do you all think?
