Disclaimer: I do not own anything, I wish I did, but I dunt. Maybe in the next lifetime though.
Bobby didn't say anything. He only continued to stare at Lorna, who was getting a bit annoyed by it. "Are you going to continue standing there and acting like a fish or are you coming?" She asked as she tapped her foot on the floor. She didn't have time for this. 'I knew I should have gone with them.' Lorna thought.
"Can you just repeat that last sentence one more time for me?" Bobby asked, the surprise in his face still hadn't disappeared yet.
"Magneto is my father." Lorna answered.
"I didn't even know men that old could have kids. I thought he was like more than a hundred years old." Bobby commented.
"Well, he is not. Now do I have to steal the jet here by myself or are you going to help?" She asked and rested a hand on her hip.
"No, no I am coming." Bobby told her with a smile. "Scott's been giving me lessons on piloting it." He stated proudly.
"Good for you." Lorna replied sarcastically. "Can we go now?" She grumbled.
"Right this way." Bobby said. They walked down the hallway towards the elevator. Bobby pressed the call button and waited until the two doors opened.
"Did John say where he was?" Lorna asked him as they entered the elevator. The two silver doors closed and the two teenagers felt their stomachs drop as it began to lower.
"There is a tracking device that is linked to Cerebro. All I have to do is write into the program the last person who called the mansion." Bobby explained and the elevator doors opened. "We should really get music in there. I suggested it to Scott, but he never listens." He told her.
"Are you nervous or something?" Lorna asked. They walked down the metal hallway of the lower levels of the mansion.
"What? Why would you say that?" Bobby asked confused.
"Because you keep changing subjects all the time. Not to mention, your left hand is shaking and the other is bruising my wrist." She replied and looked down at his hand wrapped around hers.
"Oh, sorry." He apologized and yanked his hand away. "This is the first time I've ever broke one of the rules around here. I am kind of afraid to see what Scott and the Professor are going to say."Bobby told her and looked down at his feet.
"You don't have to come. I can go by myself. It's no problem, seriously." Lorna said to him and rested a hand on his shoulder. He looked up at her beautiful green eyes and felt his heart melt.
"No, I'm going with. I can't let you do this alone." He smiled at her.
Lorna gave him a soft smile as they entered the jet hanger. "Thanks." She whispered. Bobby went over to a computer located on the side of the room and started typing something in. Seconds later, the stairs to the jet opened.
"Ladies first." Bobby said as he walked towards the stairs. Lorna boarded the jet, soon followed by Bobby. She couldn't believe how big and roomy the jet was. There were twelve seats sitting behind the cockpit.
"Wow. This is nice." She commented and took a seat in the copilot's spot.
"Yeah, this is brand new. We kind of crashed the other one in Paris." Bobby told her and started up the engine.
"Have you ever done this before?" Lorna asked him as he started pressing buttons.
"Um, yeah. I helped Rogue lift this off the ground. Other than that, it's been mostly practice. Scot''s never let me take it for a test spin." He replied to her. Lorna nodded and immediately grabbed the seat belt and buckled herself in.
"Okay, this should be it." Bobby said as the jet began to lift into the air.
"Don't you need to open the top part?" Lorna asked as she squirmed back into her seat. 'I should have just flown myself there. Why did I agree to this?' She thought.
"Oops." Bobby muttered as the jet went through the top of the hanger and into the outside. "Crap, Scott is going to kill me." He cursed. "Hang on." He told her and flew the jet higher into the sky and towards their location.
Hellfire Club
Betsy looked down the long elegant hallway and down the other. 'Good, no one's around.' She thought and picked up the phone and started dialing. The phone started ringing on the other line and she bit her lip.
"Come on." She muttered as she saw a shadow of someone coming down the hallway. She turned her back away from them and looked the opposite direction.
"Guten Abend. Thank you for calling ze Xavier's school for Gifted Youngsters. Zis is Kurt Vagner, how may I help you?" A German male voice said on the other line.
Betsy was started by the voice. She had never heard this person before and they only allowed teachers to answer the phones after John's little prank with the phone. "Is Professor Charles Xavier there?" She asked.
'Damnit.' She cursed to herself as she heard footsteps behind her. The entire Hellfire Club was supposed to be having a meeting and none of the members should have been out yet, unless they stepped out for a break.
"Ja, one moment." Kurt said and placed the phone down. Betsy held the phone close to her until someone placed a hand on her shoulder. She turned around to come face to face with Warren.
"Who are you talking to?" He asked her.
"My brother was on the phone." Betsy answered and placed the phone back down. 'I'll call later.' She thought. "So how is the meeting?" She asked to change the subject.
Warren sighed. "It is going alright, I guess. Emma keeps talking about her plans for getting back at the X-Men. Something about having them destroy each other. I wasn't paying attention to her." He replied.
'Why won't you warn them? I know you better than this. There is no way you would let them stay in danger.' She thought to herself and gave a fake smile. "I don't think anyone pays attention to Emma nor Selene." Betsy commented.
He smiled. "Agreed. After the second half of the meeting, do you want to go out to dinner?" He asked.
"I'd love to." Betsy responded and gave him a peck on the cheek.
"We should be done by five, I will see you then. Wish me luck." Warren called as he turned around to leave.
Betsy's smile faded as she watched him leave.
X-Mansion
Ororo ran down the hallway of the lower level. Everyone in the entire mansion had heard a loud crash from the lower level. She opened the door to the jet's hanger and found a huge whole in the roof.
'Scott and the Professor are not going to be happy.' She thought to herself as she closed the door.
"Hey, Miss. Munroe." Kitty greeted Ororo in the hallway with Piotr.
"It is good to see you." Piotr said. "What happened down here?" He asked.
"I can not give that information to you at the moment until I know all the facts." Ororo told them. Before the two teenagers could turn and walk away, she quickly asked them, "have either of you seen Logan?"
"Um, last time I saw him was in the Danger Room. He was, like, supposed to train us, but he started working out in there and has not stopped. I am not complaining about it cause that is good for us so we can go to the mall and all. But he kind of worried me in there." Kitty replied.
Ororo nodded and sighed. "Thank you, Kitty." She said to the younger girl. 'I better check on him.' She thought to herself and started walking towards the Danger Room.
She entered the control room for the Danger Room. She looked through the window and found Logan attacking a bunch of guards in a metal room. Not wanting to disturb him, she observed as he sliced through each guard one by one.
An image soon appeared of herself in there that startled her. It was her. Logan raised his claws ready to slice through the image of Storm, when he stopped his claw and retracted them. He backed away from the image of Storm and grabbed his head.
'What?' Ororo thought to herself and immediately shut down the Danger Room sequence. She rushed out of the control room and entered the Danger Room. "Logan?" She called as she approached her boyfriend.
Logan glanced at her and turned away. "Go away." He growled silently.
"What was that about?" Ororo asked and rested a hand on his shoulder. He jerked away from her and lowered his hands.
"I don't want ta hurt ya." He told her.
"Hurt me? You didn't hurt me in real or imaginary world. Is there something wrong?" She asked with concern.
"Not now, but I will. You know it too." Logan yelled and turned away from her. "I can't control myself sometimes when I go feral. I don't want to lose control and end up hurting ya." He told her.
"Why didn't you tell me that you were afraid of-" She was about to say, but he cut her off.
"I ain't afraid of nothin'." He snarled and turned around.
"Then what is it you are feeling then? And don't you dare shut me out." Ororo told him as her eyes flashed white before turning blue again.
"I don't deserve ya. Ya deserve someone that can treat ya right and isn't a danger ta ya." He said in a much calmer voice.
"That would be you." Ororo stated, but he shook his head.
"Yeah, but how long is it gonna be for? Just, leave me alone." He told her and ran out of the Danger Room, leaving a stunned Ororo.
Ororo sighed. "Why won't you open up to me? I know you like to keep to yourself, but I thought things might change. I guess I was wrong." She whispered as a tear ran down her cheek.
Dorm Level
Jean sat on her and Scott's bed going over the last of the plans she made for their wedding. They had finally decided they were going to have their wedding in the Spring in the backyard of the mansion. Xavier even said he would pay for the entire wedding since he considered them both his family.
"Now all that is left is the wedding dress." She smiled and started writing down a date and time that her and Ororo could go look for the perfect dress.
Jean had been so busy writing, she hadn't heard the door open and someone walk in until they sat on the bed. "Hey, what are you doing?" She looked up to see Scott sitting next to her looking at the papers with a huge grin on his face.
"Just making some final arrangements for our wedding." She responded and raised an eyebrow when she got a better look at him. He seemed a bit off.
"That's wonderful. I think we should get married as even sooner." Scott told her and placed a hand over hers. She tried to take a peak inside his mind, but found it closed off to her.
"Are you feeling alright?" She asked him.
"Never better." He replied to her and made himself comfy on the bed. He reached out and stroked her hair. "You're so beautiful. I am one of the luckiest guys in the world." Scott told her and leaned over to kiss her. Jean responds and kisses him back, not noticing his smile widen until she was struck in the back of the head.
"See, I told you it was easy." Scott laughed and transformed into a man with short black hair and dark eyes.
"Shut up Morph. Just bring her and we'll be out of here." Ruckus, a man with long white hair and wearing a long purple coat instructed.
Morph picked Jean up from the bed as a portal opened up in the room. "You guys owe me. I was the first to kiss a girl." He laughed as they entered the portal and disappeared.
Rogue's Room
"Y' sure dat dey won't be back for a while?" Remy asked as he sat on Rogue's bed.
"Ah'm sure of it. Jubilee took the new guy, Jono, to the movies. And Kitty won't tear herself away from Piotr." Rogue told him and sat down next to him on the bed.
"Really?" Remy smirked and raised an eyebrow. "I can think of a million things de two of us could do together alone."
Rogue rolled her eyes. "And if Logan walks in, ya will be a dead Cajun." She told him.
"I ain' afraid of de big bad Wolverine." Remy said to her. It was then they noticed a breeze in the room. Someone had opened the door to the balcony.
"But you're afraid of a man with eyes similar to your own and a red diamond on his forehead." A female voice said from behind them.
"What de hell do y' want?" Gambit growled and jumped to his feet. Rogue stood instantly and got into a battle position.
"Haven't ya ever heard of knockin'?" Rogue snarled at the white-haired woman and the man behind him that had a purple face and hair with yellow eyes.
"But where is the fun in that." Gorgeous George said as he walked forward.
"If ya know what's good for ya, ya'll leave." Rogue warned them. Vertigo shook her head and walked further into the room.
"Mister Sinister isn't pleased with you." She looked over at Remy. "He gave you the choice, now he is taking everything." Vertigo stated before she unleashed her power, causing Remy and Rogue lose their balance and fall to the floor. George acted quickly and stretched his purple arm out and grabbed Rogue, whose eyes rolled back into her head when Vertigo used more of her power on the southern girl.
"And if you want to see your little chickie here." George smirked as he held Rogue in his arms. "You'll meet Sinister in his lab where you two first met. If not, then little Roguie here might not make it through his experiments." He laughed as a portal appeared and all three disappeared.
Remy still felt disorientated and tried to pick himself up from the floor. 'Chere, I'm so sorry.' He thought before he fell into unconsciousness himself.
