"We'll be there soon!" Scott Summers said to the small group on the plane. "Thank you Scott." Charles answered, before turning back to the group to continue his story "As I was saying. After the incident in the library Samantha began to lose all confidence in her abilities. She became very nervous and even withdrew from the few friends she had. Neither myself, nor any of her teachers could get through to her. The only person with whom she seemed to find solace was Logan. She followed him around with a sort of hero worship and he became very protective of her. They had a very special relationship." "That still doesn't explain the chip Professor." Roman said "Ah yes, the chip." Xavier said "As I told you before Sami's powers were very strong for her age and very untrained. Another mutant by the name of Magneto got wind of this fact and became fascinated by her. He tried to kidnap her on more than one occasion to get her to come over to his side. You see Magneto is a rogue mutant. He has his own ideas about how to deal with humans, mainly to kill them before they kill us. He and his band of mutants are very destructive and Sami would have been a great weapon to them." "Dear God" Marlena gasped "It became even worse when Toad, the boy she had injured, defected from the school and went over to Magneto's side. He was determined to avenge himself on Sami. And since she refused to use her powers, even in her own defense, she became an easy target. Logan saved her on more than one occasion. I was in a quandary over what to do to protect her. In the end however, it was Sami's decision that her powers be blocked." "Sami's decision?" Marlena questioned "Yes." The Professor answered "She came to me one day in my study and confessed that she was very afraid, both of herself and of Magneto. She asked me if there were any way that she could just be a normal girl? She seemed so desperate and sad that I finally admitted that there was one thing I could do. I knew of a chip developed by an enemy of the mutants that blocked their powers. I had gotten a hold of one and some of my scientists were working with it. I had them alter the chip to block not only a mutant's powers, but their memories as well. Finally I had the chip inserted into Samantha. As a normal human girl she would be much harder to find. I also knew that with her powers blocked, she was no longer of any use to Magneto. He knew nothing of the chip, but I saw to it that he became aware that Samihad lost her powers. Only after I was certain that she would be safe did I send Samantha home to you, to live the normal like she so desired.
"But now those powers are back." John said "So where does that leave her?" Charles sighed sadly "Unfortunately, it leaves her in a very bad position unless we get to the school on time. You see Magneto is aware of everything that has recently transpired with Samantha and he and his band of mutants are already on route to the school." "Looks like they've already arrived! Look!" Storm shouted as the school and it's grounds came into view. On the grounds in front of the school were several vehicles. Marlena gasped in fright and Charles patted her hand reassuringly. "Let's get this bird on the ground." Scott said insistently as he and Storm began landing procedures and prayed they were in time.
Sami used her mind to unlock the one door that had almost always been locked to students at the school. Once inside she stared at the remnants of charred metal and computer components that had made up Cerebro. She cocked her head to one side and regarded it curiously, wondering why it had been left behind. "Genesis." A voice inside her head sounded "Professor?" she answered aloud. "Where are you?" She asked him silently this time, using her mind's powers, as she remembered she could. "In a plane, about to descend on the school grounds." Charles answered, as the others in the cockpit stared at him in question. "Genesis, I want you to leave the building and come outside, do you understand?" "But Professor.." she began "Genesis, leave now!" He interrupted her in an even stronger voice; just as a movement behind her caused her to turn suddenly and a kick to her stomach send her sprawling to the ground.
