X-Mansion-Outside of Cerebro
Scott Summers paced back and forth outside of Cerebro. The night before, he entered his and Jean's bedroom to find papers scattered around and small droplet's of blood on the bed sheet. Right away he had known something happened to Jean.
He immediately went to the Professor, even thought it had been so late at night, to tell him. Charles agreed to locate Jean in the morning after some sleep. Scott, however did not get any sleep. He stayed awake thinking of what she might be going through and vowing revenge on whoever took her from him again.
"Scott." He heard Ororo's voice coming down the hallway and glanced at her. She had a worried expression on her face as she greeted her friend. "I heard that Jean was taken. Is the Professor able to locate her?" She asked.
Scott sighed. "He's still in there." He replied. 'She better be alright.' He thought to himself.
"Don't worry my friend." Ororo placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Jean is a strong woman and will be alright. We'll get her back." She assured him.
"I should have been there with her. Maybe then I could have kept her safe." He whispered as he continued to blame himself.
"The only thing that might have happened if you were there was they could have killed you or knocked you out. Whoever it was that took Jean wanted her and was going to get her no matter what." She told him.
"But there is still a chance I could have done something. I hate feeling this damn helpless." Scott growled. "As soon as the Professor says where she is, I am going on the blackbird and getting her back. With or without anyone's help." He stated.
"You have not heard?" Ororo asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Heard what?" Scott looked at her curiously.
"Last night, a few students took the blackbird and went on somewhere." She replied before adding. "Today I noticed Bobby, Lorna, Rogue, and Remy gone. I have a feeling it was them that took it."
Scott shook his head. "When they get back, or if we have to track them down, they will be punished for it." He told her. "I'll just take one of the smaller jets to find Jean then."
"But there is only room for two people in them. You should have someone else go with you." Ororo said as the doors to Cerebro opened and Charles wheeled out.
"Did you find her?" Scott asked impatiently and rushed over to the Professor.
"Yes, I was able to track her down to a base in Tampa, Florida. I was unable to detect who it was that was keeping her there, but she seemed in distress." Xavier explained to them. Scott backed away from the Professor and started down the hall.
"Scott, wait." Ororo called, but he refused to listen.
"Send those directions into a jet. I'm leaving." Scott yelled to them as he entered the hanger and walked towards the small jet.
"Scott, you can't do this alone." Ororo shouted as she ran up behind him.
"I have to. You don't understand." Scott whispered to himself as he climbed up the later and into the seats. The top of the jet closed and he started the engine. Ororo got away as the roof of the hanger opened and the jet started to lift into the air.
Ororo sighed and shook her head. "What was that about?" Logan asked from behind her. She turned to look at him, but said nothing. Instead, Ororo walked past him as if he didn't exist. "Wait!" Logan called as he walked behind her.
"Don't talk to me, Logan." Ororo said as she continued to walk down the metal hallway. Logan ran in front of her and stopped her in her tracts.
"Tell me what's buggin' ya." He rested his hands on her shoulders and looked into her blue eyes.
"Why should I? You won't tell me what bothers you. You don't trust me. I don't see why I should trust you." Ororo snapped at him.
"It's different." Logan uttered, not really sure what else to say.
"How so?" She rested a hand on her hip and glared at him.
"I. . . um." Logan stuttered. He couldn't tell her. She wouldn't understand. He cared for her and wanted her to tell him what was wrong so he could make it better. It wasn't supposed to be the other way around.
"Don't bother." Ororo walked past him down the hallway. Logan sighed and bowed his head.
The blackbird landed in an abandoned cornfield. The door opened and Lorna and Bobby appeared. "Are you sure this is where John is supposed to be?" Lorna asked as they exited the jet and began making their way through a cornfield to a warehouse.
"Yeah, and if he is hiding from your sister and brother this would be a good place to hide." Bobby replied.
"There is no where to hide once Wanda is pissed. She'll find him." Lorna assured him as she picked Bobby up and started floating in the air above the veins.
"She's not going to kill him, right?" Bobby asked her.
"Um, no. She'll probably hex him around for a while until he answered her. But I've never seen her kill. Especially not with Pietro around." She answered and lowered them both in front of the door. Bobby opened it and walked in first to make sure nothing was going to pop out and attack them.
"Come on." He waved her to follow. They entered the building to find no lights. The entire place looked as if it was about to fall over if wind blew on it.
"Maybe we should try to relocate him." Lorna suggested when they heard a clicking noise. "What was that?" She whispered to Bobby.
His hands turned into ice as he slowly made his way around the corner to have a flare of fire shot at him. Bobby fell back and glared at the man responsible for the flames. "You're a dick." Bobby growled at John, who appeared.
"Oops, sorry. Wrong person." John clicked his lighter shot. Lorna helped Bobby to his feet. "What are you doing here anyways? Thought you wouldn't come?" He raised an eyebrow at his old friend and then at the green haired girl. "Who are you?"
"I'm Lorna Dane." She shook hands with John. "My sister I believe is the one that is after you, along with my brother."
"No offense, but your sister has some major anger issues." John told her.
"Why don't you just tell them where Magneto is hiding? I'm sure they'll leave you alone then." Bobby rolled his eyes at John.
"Like I told you on the phone, I don't know where Magneto is. After the incident in Paris, I took off. His team is a lot lamer than the X-Men. I'm starting to wish I never left." John sighed.
"That's your own fault." Bobby muttered. "I don't know why I bothered on coming to help you. If I was in trouble, you wouldn't have done the same for me." He growled. John opened his mouth to say something, but the door started to glow blue and flew towards the side of the building.
"Oh god. She's here." John backed away until he hit the wall.
"Who?" Bobby asked and turned to face John. Lorna started at the door, knowing what to expect.
"The witch." John pointed at the door as a girl about their age came into view. She had short black hair and piercing blue eyes. She wore a long dark jacket that reached down to her knees. Underneath the coat were black pants and a dark red shirt.
"Where is he?" The Scarlet Witch glared at Pyro, not noticing the other two. Her hands turned into fists and started to glow blue.
"Wanda?" Lorna spoke up, catching the other girls attention. Scarlet Witch glanced over at the green haired girl and looked surprised.
"Lorna? What are you doing here?" Wanda asked curiously. "I thought you said you were going to stay with the X-Men?"
"I am, well was. That was until Bobby said his friend was in trouble." Lorna replied and noticed that little glare Bobby gave her. He still was having a hard time forgiving John. "And you ended up being the person who was after him." She explained. "By the way, where is Pietro?" She asked.
"Right-here-sis-and-I-got-the-little-scum!" Pietro yelled as he sped into the room and grabbed John by the color.
"Pie, release him." Lorna demanded as the silver haired man looked at her and let John go. Wanda stared down at John.
"Where is Magneto? We heard you work for him." Wanda asked in the calmest voice she could muster.
"I already told you, you nut case of a woman. I don't know where Magneto is!" John shouted at her as he got to his feet.
"You shouldn't have said that." Lorna shook her head and watched her sister approach the young man.
"I am not going to ask again." Wanda growled and John began to glow blue. "Where is he?"
"I seriously don't know where he is. I was part of his team, but then I left. He got some other lackeys I know of." He told her.
"Who-are-they?" Pietro demanded as he glared at John.
"Some guys named Avalanche, Juggernaut, and Blob." John replied.
"I'll go with you to help track him down." Polaris told the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. Bobby looked at her in protest. He didn't want her to leave.
"Alright. But." Wanda said as she walked over to John. "You're coming with us so we know it's not a trap. You try anything, you'll regret it." She told him, trying to hide the smile that she wanted to release. 'Defiantly hot.' She thought.
"Fine, it's not like I have anything better to do." He rolled his eyes.
Hellfire Club
Emma Frost grinned maliciously at the fire place in the meeting room. Everything was going according to plan. The X-Men would pay for what they did to her. "And no one dares to go against the White Queen and live to tell the tale." She whispered to herself, not hearing someone walk in.
"Sorry, I didn't know anyone was in here." Betsy apologized and was about to leave.
"It is alright, dear." Emma turned to see the purple haired woman. "I am sorry you missed the meeting. But I am sure Warren filled you in, am I correct?" She asked a took a sip of wine from the class on a near by table.
"No, he just told me everything went fine. He didn't say what the plans were exactly." Betsy answered.
"We are going to kidnap the one they call Storm. We will use her to go against the X-Men. From what I've heard, she is in love with a man named Wolverine who is not easy to take down. Once he is destroyed, the others won't be hard to kill as well." Emma smirked.
Betsy did her best not to show her shocked expression. She simply nodded and gave Emma a fake smile. "That sounds perfect." She lied to the blonde and turned to leave. "If you will excuse me, I have dinner reservations with Warren." She bowed before leaving.
"Oh course, dear." Emma said as she turned back towards the fireplace.
Betsy walked out of the room. She couldn't believe Warren would go along with that idea. He had always gotten along with Storm, so why let her be taken? 'That is not the man I fell in love with.' She thought to herself as a tear formed in her eye.
'I must warn them before anything happens. Or maybe I should try to knock some sense into Warren. I know if he came to his senses he would realize how stupid and childish he is acting. Just because he had a disagreement with Xavier does not mean that the others should suffer for it. They are his friends.' She thought and continued walking down the hallway to their suite.
Arizona
A man was repeatedly slammed into the cement building and glaring at the man holding him around the throat. "Where de hell is he, Scalphunter?" Gambit demanded in a snarl.
"I told you before, LeBeau. I haven't seen the boss in months. Our team scattered and he found new people to work for him." Scalphunter responded and was thrown to the ground.
"Like I really believe dat." Remy pulled out a card and charged it.
"It's the truth." Scalphunter got up and dusted himself off. He began to wonder if he would be able to pull his gun out and shoot Gambit before he could throw the card. 'Then he blows us both up.' He thought to himself. Gambit defused the card and placed it back in his pocket.
"One of dem said dat I was supposed to meet him in de place we first met. Dat lab has been destroyed though." Remy sighed and leaned against the wall. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a cigarette and a lighter.
"The lab in Nebraska was the one where he operated on you. He has a lab under a destroyed theater in Seattle I know of." Scalphunter hinted to him.
"Dat ain' possible." Gambit said and took the cigarette out of his mouth.
"How do you think he found you in the first place? The boss never went for little walks." Scalphunter replied as Gambit turned to leave. 'He set you up like he is now.'
