Professor Xavier opened his eyes. Suddenly, he was linked with Cerebro. He spoke over the comlink. "Cyclops, Jean, Storm, Rogue report to the briefing room immediately." He cut off the comlink, thinking to himself: "this could become very interesting or very dangerous." He took off the headpiece and moved immediately to the briefing room and awaited the others.
Jean was in the medical facility checking a few things and counting the supplies when she heard Professor Xavier's voice. She frowned slightly and set her clipboard down, pulling off the white doctors jacket and placing her glasses on top of the clipboard. She walked out and was met by Rogue.
Rogue smiled to her. "What could it be?" She asked Jean, her accent loud and clear. Jean shrugged. "I have no idea. Maybe about another mutant, he spoke of something of the sorts a few days ago if you remember." She smiled and looked to the doorway of the Briefing room, seeing Storm step inside as well. She sighed and crossed her arms over her chest. She stepped inside. She was as clueless as any of them, and that was rare.
"What is it professor?"
Scott blasted away another enemy in the danger room and then heard professor Xavier's call. He shut off the program and was last to arrive. He waited anxiously for the proffesor's answer. "I'm sorry to call you all here so suddenly and I'm afraid we have little time. I am watching to mutants both extremely powerful. One, a young girl, has the power over metal similar to magneto, and the other similar to you, jean, in that he has telekinetic ability but also the ability to move faster than your average person by quite a lot. As you can guess they'll both be high targets on magneto's list. They've only now joined up and its as if they're so close its as if one is holding the other. I'm sorry but I'm going to have to ask that you prepare for a mission and leave right away. I'll be monitoring via Cerebro. That's all, thank you. Be on your way.. And," he paused. "Be careful." He wondered what there reactions would be.
Jean sighed silently. A girls powers, similar to Magneto's. How unexpected? She thought to herself. "Yes, Professor." She nodded and looked over to Rogue and Storm. "Rogue.. Come with me. Storm, can you go with Scott? This may be dangerous with the both of them. We don't know what their state of mind is, we don't know if they are scared.. So please?" She watched Storm nod. "Thank you," she said, before rushing out of the briefing room and running down to the jet.
She got it started with a swift motion of her wrists. She got into the pilot seat and smiled, strapping herself in. Her thoughts were riding through her head. "This will be interesting."
Scott nodded, "of course professor, alright lets hurry." He ran down to the X Jet as well and strapped himself in, he looked behind him to see rouge and storm strapped in as well. "Alright lets go." He leaned back as he felt the acceleration as they launched.
Several minuets later, they arrived at a large open park. they left the jet immediately and started searching.
Oni laid the girl down on a small bed. He had a small place, it wasn't anything but it would have to be enough for now. He could tell she needed medical attention as her breathing was very shallow still. "Hold on just a little longer. I'm going to get a doctor." He didn't know if she could hear him but it was worth a try. He ran downstairs and outside he saw 4 people in some kind of weird suits that he never saw before. He began looking around for anyone in scrubs or a doctor looking person. He had no money but he had to get her help and now or she would die.
Her chest went up and down quickly. She could feel the bruise already form around her neck. Her fingers twitched every few seconds as she tried to open her eyes. "..Daddy?" She called out again, her voice was raspy. She could hear someones voice, but she couldn't tell whose they were. Oh, No. She thought. Th-they came to get me.. They've came to hurt me! She through. Her fingers twitched as her body jumped every few seconds... Things that were metal around her were rising into the air, crushing and expanding into small balls of metal.
She tried to open her eyes. She managed to get the open, somewhat. "Don't.. hurt me.."
Jean looked around, to see someone search frantically for something. Her eyes narrowed sharply towards him. She stepped towards him. "..Sir?" She asked, stepping in front of him. "Are you alright? Who are you looking for?"
Oni saw a woman approach him. At first, he wanted to fight or run but he realized that she wasn't going to attack him. "D-doctor.. I-I'm looking for a doctor, please I don't have any money but..." He thought what would they say. Would they help her if he told them what happened... no definitely not, they'd call the cops and an ambulance. He couldn't allow that so he lied. "I found a woman unconscious in a back alley. She wasn't breathing well so I brought her to my place and I'm looking for a doctor. Please if I don't find one soon, she'll die!"
Cyclops watched the young man make his impassioned plea. He could tell that he was holding something back, but they should help if they could but he waited for jean's response.
Jean's eyes widened. "..Is she breathing now?" She asked. "..I'm a doctor." She looked over to Scott. I think we found them, Professor. She could read his thoughts. "..You don't have to worry..." She looked into his eyes. "We won't hurt you, Oni." She gave him a reassuring smile. "..Where is she?"
Oni jumped pack at the sound of his name. How the hell did she know how could she? "How... how do you know my name?" He shook his head, he couldn't wait any longer if he did he feared she would… he said. "Look, there isn't much time if your a doctor come with me please." He opened the door and flew up the stairs. He didn't realize it but he was moving so fast he was putting intense strain on the stairs and one of the wooden steps broke slightly. He reached his room and keyed it open to see a sight before him that he knew would scare the doctor away. He heard her last words, "don't hurt me."
He ran up to her side. "I wont I swear it, do you understand? Please stop doing what your doing or you'll scare the doctor away. please.." He hoped that she would stop and it would just look like a messy room. He waited for that was all he could do.
Cyclops ran up the stairs after him but no where near as fast. There was no doubt now, "its definitely him." He followed jean as they went up the staircase.
Lacey slowly opened her eyes, looking up into his. Tears were still running down her cheeks. "I'm sorry, da-ddy." She whispered, closing her eyes as the balls of metal fell to the floor.
Jean was up there just in time to see the metal drop to the ground. "It's her as well." She stepped towards them both, looking to Lacey's body. Her breathing was short and shallow. She could see a huge bruise at the base of her neck. "..What happened to her?" She asked, her voice full of worry and concern.
She stood up quickly and looked into Oni's eyes. "Oni.. I am Doctor Jean Grey." She said, putting two fingers on Lacey's neck, feeling her pulse which was weak. She looked over to Scott with worried eyes. "..We have to get her back as soon as possible." She said, looking to Rogue and Storm which had just joined them. She turned to Oni. "We're going to take her back to our mansion. I know this may sound as a surprise, but you're not alone." Without looking from his eyes, only one of the metal balls raised from beside her. "But, we are all mutants. You don't need to be afraid. We're here to help."
"M.. mutants? Not alone? What do you mean? I mean, I've seen them on t.v. but that's about it! " His inner thoughts were in turmoil. How, how could she possibly know how? He had been going through hell the last few weeks, and just when it was the worst time his powers activated Why? Why now!
Suddenly he fell to his knees the pain in his head increasing exponentaily, "damnit!" was all that was whispered before things started to rise into the air and spin around him. He was then lifted into the air for a short time before he slammed down to the floor. A small yelp escaped him before he got up. "I'm sorry. I'm glad you can take care of her but I'm outta here!" His mind was racing. He had to hide away, he had to run but how? The door was blocked by 3 people. It had to be the window. He leaped out and even though he was six stories up he landed softly. He took off away from the street at top speed, if he could just find some dark spot he could hide and he could get away.
Professor Xavier frowned at the boy's reaction. He could understand it but this complicated things. He spoke through their communicators again. "Alright, Jean and Storm take Lacey back to the X-Jet and take care of her. Cyclops and Rogue.. Find him, if magneto finds him first... Well, you know the rest. Oni is used to hiding so much that he's become an expert at it. He can fade into shadows and almost disappear, look carefully." The professor sighed, this could get difficult.
