There I said it. Happy now Marvel?

An hour and half later six Black Stallion bikes and one souped up Harley drove out of the warehouse in into the streets. About 15 minutes away from 'home' five white Honda Accords began to tail each one of them, following them everywhere they went.

Well that didn't take too long now did it. Tomi directed her thoughts toward all of them and opened a channel to all of their thoughts,

No it didn't. Logan said gruffly,

I'm surprised they only sent 5 cars Mother, what Logan isn't enough of a challenge for them? Nova's surprise was evident.

No they knew what they are going up against, there are four people in the car that will follow us.

So I suppose we are splitting up then? Illusion knew the answer, but he wanted to know what she'd say.

Yes Logan you're with me, Hack with Nova, Mech with Illusion...

What about Shadow?

You'd be amazed what I can do...watch in your rearview mirror.

Logan watched amazed as suddenly the shadow of the car with the four people in it detached itself and went slamming into the shadow of the car that would trail her. It exploded with a loud boom and traffic and police sirens immediately went into action. The shadow returned.

See now we have 4 and there are 7 of us, so I'll lead them off first. And so she did disappearing down a side street, the others soon followed putting the four remaining cars into chaos as they tried to keep them in sight.

Meet me on the train.

Is Dave picking us up again?

Yes so be ready.

See you in a bit mom. Mech and Illusion zoomed off down a main road on the wrong side of the street, the car following on the other side. Now it was just Logan and her with the four man car following,

Time to take them out.

Shall we?

Yes we shall dance.

Logan, when I turn, follow me.

Why?

You'll see. All of a sudden she spun her wheels skidding across the pavement, Logan followed close behind, the car began to back up, and Logan saw what she was going to do,

YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS! TOMI YOU'RE GOIN' TO KILL US!

Am I? Watch.

She revved up, her tires squealing on the ground as she raised her front tire and went over the car. Logan followed with a look of disbelief on his face. 'She's actually crushing the car......she's actually crushing that car...'

He could hear the crushing sounds of the car and the snapping of bone as she put pressure on the car killing the men inside slowly and painfully. After she leaped off Logan followed driving around the car, hearing the faint dying sounds of the men as they died. He looked at her angrily,

"What in God's name was that all about Tomi? You killed them! You deliberately killed them. Why?" She gave him a cold stare; he shuddered. She did not give a cold smile as she spoke even though she wished to,

"It is what they deserve, no more, no less." With that she drove off, her anger evident in the way she drove. Logan surprised and baffled followed her wondering what she meant by what she had said. He knew it had a double meaning to it but he was not sure of what.

Hack and Nova dispatched their car easily by one of Nova's short blasts in a controlled area provided by Hack. She knew and he knew that she could blow up the entire city if she wasn't controlling her powers. Neither of them wished to see the time where Nova unleashed at her full strength.

"Let's go Hack; we have a train to catch."

They sped of past the car, which was in full flames, debris still coming off of it. Police sirens could be heard coming to check out the situation.

Illusion took his hands off the handles and began to move his hands in a complicated fashion, weaving in and out, going back and forth, making intricate figures in the air. Suddenly the air wavered and illusion of Illusion and Mech went the other way. The car followed and did not see the brick wall it slammed into until it was too late. Instant flames erupted, and ambulance sirens went into view. Mech and Illusion just zoomed off minding their own business. Shadow had an easy time luring her prey into a secluded area and calling upon the shadow of a building in front of her, it rose and fell with a silent boom, crushing the car underneath it, a silent breeze blew her hair, and she just looked back through her mirror, heavily sighed,

"Crazy."

And she drove off heading toward the tracks. They all met up on a dirt track road moving up and down the hills that were there, Logan was amazed at how smooth this track was and how they handled themselves. They were like little kids at finding a new toy, they did flips and tricks up in the air surprising even Logan at the stuff they tried and crazily pulled off. But nothing would have prepared him for what came next. At the end of the track there was a turnoff which they all took and began to speed up.

Logan, speed up. MN ordered.

Why?

Let's just say this if you don't you'll end up like a scrambled egg.

Logan caught the meaning and sped up. He did no see the cliff until it was upon him,

"What the—?" Was cut off by a "HOLY—....!" was screamed by Logan as they flew over a busy highway and saw how the fall could definitely kill you and landed right on a moving train. All he saw on everyone else's faces through their visor was a look of absolute delight as they landed. Logan skidded to a stop just at the end of the wide platform which they landed on. He slumped, and turned off the motorcycle just to calm his heart. He thought to himself,

'In and out, in and out, in and out. I'm gonna kill her for this....in and out, in and out.' "Tomi, you betta start explainin' now before I damn well cut your head off!"

"I think you better let me explain Tomi." A new voice said behind Logan, he turned and looked at the young azure headed boy behind him.

"The name's Dave and I'm the track runner, owner of 'Darling' this train. As you can see large secret organizations like the ones that you have seen today have been after Tomi's group for awhile, actually they are really after Tomi, that has been proved a few times but in order to do that they have to get her team first, which has proved many times as unsuccessful. Tomi has a large bounty on her head and your group getting involved can only make matters at hand worse. So I ship them where ever they want to go and hide them for while, no one knows that this train exists and no one has ever known about it. 'The Shadow' which is Tomi's group, is worth two million for all of them together on the Black Ice, fifty thousand for each of them alone." Logan eyes bugled at this,

'What are we getting into,' He thought, 'Our kids won't be able to handle this type of stuff, no wonder she trains them so hard, she doesn't want to lose them, not at any cost.' He still listened to Dave,

"Tomi herself is worth five million on the Black Ice, meaning the Black Market. She is one dangerous woman Logan, and a feared one at that. I don't know what Professor Xavier has in mind but you better tell him this; I'd be careful if I were you. You are a very well known organization on the Black Ice, and once they find out she's there...."

He left the sentence hanging not wanting to go any farther. Logan took that into account as Tomi and the others walked away to put there bikes in, 'Professor, what do you have in mind?'

Then he saw a hawk land on her arm and he went after her wondering when she had gotten a hawk.

Well there you have it folks... Tune in next time when Mother Nature and her team meets the Professor!
