Rogue looked at her little brother with concern and pity in her eyes. While she was overjoyed to have woken up from her own personal Hell, she was equally concerned about everyone who had been caught by this nightmarish plague. Sighing loudly she looked at her boyfriend for support. "Oh Vincent I feel so helpless. I mean look at everything that's happened today. We both barely survived our nightmares and we both know what Kurt's worst nightmare is. He fears being burned at the stake alive more than anything! If they can't save my brother in time I don't know what I'll do." She nearly cried on his shoulder.

"It will be okay Rouge. I mean look at the whole situation. So far Kurt has managed to stay alive despite being under for more than two hours. He has you here to help him find the way back to the real world and do you really think that Amanda is going to sit by and let her boyfriend be barbecued?" Vincent said trying to convince her that everything was going to be okay.

"No, but that doesn't mean that he won't die. No one can guarantee that everything will be all right. I mean you still have no idea what effects the nightmares have had on your powers or if I'll ever regain control over mine. Even if Kurt survives what will he have to face?" Rogue demand

"Rogue, please calm down. You must have faith that everything will be all right. Right now you need to stay in bed so that Beast and Gale can monitor your health. I don't want any of my student's to be injured by side effects." Xavier told her kindly.

Rogue relented and settled back down in bed, but she refused to leave her brother's side. She held his hand in her own gloved one and squeezed. "Come back to me little brother. I need you more than anything."

Kurt just shuddered and continued muttering under his breath. He kept switching from German to English and back to German. What he was saying didn't make a whole lot of sense to them at all. But they got the feeling whatever he was saying it wasn't good.

Jean and Forge where both working furiously on the control panels in the control room, trying to fix the communication array. Down below on the floor the images had changed to show a landscape surrounded in a blue cloud.

"Come on Forge we have to reestablish contact with the team. My telepathy is getting weaker the more involved in a dream they are." Jean told him urgently
"Hold your horses Jean. This isn't as easy as it looks. I have to be careful or I risk losing permanent contact with the team or worse, stranding them in someone's dream forever. Okay just need to connect this wire to that port and all done. How's it look from up there?" Forge asked, hopeful that he had corrected the quandary.

"Forge you did it! I'm receiving a signal again from the armbands. Everything seems to check out just fine." Jean told him ecstatic.

"Make sure the helmet is working properly. I don't want it overheating or something like that. The link between their minds and the Danger Room is very fragile. If anything blocks the corresponding signal we could have trouble on our hands." Forge reminded her as he got up.

"I don't think we have to worry much about that. The helmet is receiving the electrical impulse from the infirmary and then transmitting them into imagery in the Danger Room without problem." Jean replied smoothly.

"That's fantastic. Let's see if I can figure out where and when the team is shall I? Okay running analyzes on the image. Cross-referencing with Kurt's past and I have it. They're in his hometown of Germany before he came to America. I believe that they will have their powers, but Kurt won't know them at all."

"Let's hope that little detail doesn't hinder them. Or that fact that the dream will probably have everyone speaking German."

In the dream world the team was busy trying to figure out their situation. "What is this place? Does anyone have a clue where we are or more to the point whose dream were in now?" Mirage asked confused.

"Well I would have to guess where in Blue's dream. I mean look at this landscape. Nothing around here even remotely looks like what we have back home." Boom Boom stated.

"I think that Boom Boom is right. It would also explain why we seem to be speaking with a German accent. Haven't you noticed a certain edge to our voice?" Shadow asked them.

The others nodded their head in agreement. "Does that mean we can speak and understand German?" Husk wanted to know.
"Its more likely that Kurt's mind is translating everything we say to other people into German and what they say to us English. It must be the brains way of coping with his bilingual skills." Mirage surmised.

"Are we going to stand here or are we going to search for Kurt? We all know what his worst fear is and how much do you want to bet that it's going to occur in here. For all we know it could have already happened." Daytripper alleged, anxious to get going.

"I thought I saw a town a little ways that way. It could be Kurt's home. We should probably start looking for him there." Sunspot declared.

"Then let's start walking. It's going to take us awhile to get there." Mirage said already marching dutifully towards the town. The others followed her intent on finding Kurt before he got hurt.

Magma was walking next to Shadow and asked him a question. "How are we going to explain away our uniforms? In the last two dreams our attire didn't matter much, but around here I'm sure it will get us in trouble."

"I'm sure that we'll think of something. We have already proven ourselves capable of figuring out ways of tricky situations. The solution to the problem with present itself at the right time." Shadow advised her.

"I hope your right. If we lose just one person because we were unable to come with a solution to a problem, I don't think I could live with myself. The guilt of messing up would haunt me for life."

"Its best not to think of failure or it will certainly happen. By concentrating on the task at hand and visualizing you winning, you can't be beaten. My sensei taught me that."

"Your sensei was a wise man Shadow. Let's hope his ancient wisdom serves as well in the dream world as it does in the world of the ninja."

They finally reach the outskirts of the town and looked it over. It looked a lot like any other town in the world except the buildings seemed a little older and there where a few things, like a brewery, that you wouldn't find in any American town.

"So now what do we do? Stroll into town and tap someone on the shoulder and ask them if they've seen a blue furred demon?" Boom Boom demanded her hands on her hip.

"I suggest that we seek out the Wagner's. We know that they accept people who are different and they will be able to lead us to Kurt." Sunspot advocated.

"For once you're using your head. I think I can lead us to Kurt's home. He's told me about and shown me so many pictures I feel like I've grown up in Germany." Daytripper allotted.

"Alright, but try to stay out of sight. We don't want to be seen till we know for sure what's going on." Mirage told them. Nodding their heads they entered town and started walking through the back alleys and side streets.

After awhile they came to rest behind a small grocery store. Husk stomach rumbled loudly and they all laughed. They hadn't had anything to eat since before they started on this adventure. That was hours ago. "I guess where all a little hungry. Do you think dream food is real enough to eat?"

"If it's like everything else here it should be. But how do we get some food? We don't have any local currency and I don't care if it's a dream where not stealing." Mirage said.

"But were starving! If we don't eat something soon where going to collapse and then will be no use to anyone. Come on Mirage be realistic for once. We need the food and it's not like we can be put in jail for a crime that's not real." Boom Boom told her.

"As much as I hate to admit your right. Okay here's the plan. Boom Boom, while your outfit is anything, but modest, it's the only uniform that could pass as normal clothes. So you're going to go inside and distracted the shopkeeper. Then Shadow will slip inside and lift some food. The rest of us will be waiting here. Try not to do anything stupid that could get you caught. And remember no powers." Mirage said staring straight at Boom Boom.

"Don't worry so much. Everything will be fine I promise you. Come on Ninja Boy let's get going. I hope that foreign guys love a sexy women." Boom Boom laughed crazily as she slipped out of the alley and headed for the door.

"Why in the world did Sam fall in love with her?" Husk asked rhetorically.

Boom Boom sauntered into the store shaking her body around. She loved being the center of attention, but at the same time she felt guilty. She was involved with a great guy and she shouldn't be acting like this. Sucking in a deep breath she approached the counter. "Hi. My name is Tabitha Smith and I'm a little lost. I'm trying to figure out my way to the train station. Can you help me?"

While Boom Boom distracted the clerk, Shadow materialized from one of the shadows on the far wall. He crept silently and swiftly through the store. He scanned the shelves looking for some fruit or snacks to take. He looked up and saw that Boom Boom was still distracting the clerk, but she couldn't keep it up much longer. He snatched some snacks off the shelves and stuffed them down his uniform. As he turned to leave he heard someone shout angrily at him. Busted.

"Hey put those down punk! Come back here right now!" the clerk shouted. He grabbed a bat from behind the counter and started after him when Boom Boom tossed some of her bombs. The explosion sent him crashing into the counter.

"Come on! We have to get out here!" she shouted already racing out of the store. Shadow followed her and soon the seven mutants were racing down the streets with the police hot on their tail.

"I thought I told you not use your powers! How hard is that to remember?" Mirage shouted angrily as they jumped a fence and ran towards the forest.

"Well what was I suppose to do? Let him bash Shadow on the head with a bat? Besides I didn't think my bombs would cause this much damage. Man do they ever give up?" she asked looking over her shoulder.

"I don't think so. They must not have a high tolerance for thieves. I don't know how much longer I can keep this up." Husk said panting.

"We may not have to. I think I know where we are. Cut through the next glade." Daytripper commanded. The others followed her through the glade and spied a small house near a river. They saw a couple standing by the river. They looked alarmed at the sight of seven teenagers running at them in strange costumes.

Daytripper tripped and sprawled out in front of them. The couple started to back away, but she quickly said something in German that the others didn't hear. The couple's eyes widened, but they helped Daytripper up and motioned the others to follow them inside their house. They just made it in as the police passed by.

"Are you children okay? Why in the world were the police chasing you?" Mrs. Wagner, Jimane, asked as she went and got some snacks for them.

"To be honest Mrs. Wagner they where chasing us because our friend there used her powers in the open." Mirage said. She glanced over at Daytripper wondering what she had told them to convince the couple to shelter them.

"So it's true then. You have powers just like our son. We always wondered if there were others like Kurt. Here have something to eat. You kids look famished." Mrs. Wagner told them.

"Thank you. We haven't eaten in hours." Shadow said politely taking some fruit and taking a huge bite.

"So what brings you to our town and how do you know our son?" Mr. Wagner, Stephen, asked curiously watching the seven mutants devour their food.

"It's kind of a long story. Will tell it to you in a moment, but for now I was wondering if you might have some spare clothes for us to wear? If we need to go back into town we need to fit in." Mirage asked politely.

Mrs. Wagner nodded her head and went upstairs to fetch some of hers and Kurt's old cloths. She returned a few minutes later with a large bundle in her arms. "I hope that these fit you. I know the girls clothes are slightly out of date, but they'll do fine. Here you go." She said handing them each an outfit.

A few minutes later they had put on their outfits over their uniforms and were laughing at how silly they all looked. Kurt's clothes were not the right size at all for Shadow and their girls were stuck in dresses. Finally they rejoined the Wagner's at the table and introduced themselves.

After finishing their tale they could see the scepticism on their face. It was one thing to accept mutants into their house. But to hear they were nothing but a figment of their son's imagination was an entirely different story. "Do you have any proof of what you claim?" Mrs. Wagner wanted to know.
"I'm sorry that we don't, but you have to trust us when we say we want nothing more then to help your son. Kurt is in very real danger here. If he doesn't wake up he could stay asleep forever or even die. I don't think you like that much." Daytripper said, her voice betraying the concern and love she felt for her boyfriend.

"We know what its like to be misunderstood because you're different. In the real world there are people who try to kill us for what we are. What we really want is to be accept and work together with humans." Mirage explained.

"Yeah and it wouldn't be the same without the Wild Blue Yonder. So can you help us out?" Boom Boom asked

"I can sense that you're telling the truth. It's nice to know that Kurt has made such wonderful and loyal friends. He's always been ashamed of the way he looks. He always thought that people would never accept him for who he truly is. But I'm glad to see he was wrong." Mr. Wagner said.

"And that he has such a beautiful girlfriend. Don't try to deny it I could tell the minute you said his name that you cared for him. You must really love him." Mrs. Wagner told Daytripper who blushed.

"Kurt is the kindest, gentlest, most wonderful person I've ever met. We've been through a lot together. It means the world to me to help him out." Daytripper replied blushing a bit.

"So can you tell us where Kurt is? I mean its obvious he isn't here and we didn't seem him when we ran through the woods. So do you have any idea where we could find him or if he's okay?" Sunspot asked.

"We haven't seen Kurt since he left the house this morning. Usually he sticks close to home, but now I'm concerned. If what you told us is true then we have to find him quickly!" Mrs. Wagner exclaimed.

"We'll set up a search party. I'll take Shadow, Sunspot, and Husk with me and will check in the forest by the river. You take the rest of the kids and search the town. Keep in touch with those fancy communicators of yours. We will meet in the Town Square in two hours. Let's go." Mr. Wagner ordered.

"And remember, no powers unless you absolutely have to. We don't need to cause another scene like we did at the grocery store. Remember if you find Kurt don't be surprised that he doesn't know you. He has met us yet. Just talk to him and keep him safe. Everyone got that? Good." Mirage said. She was starting to feel more confident.

They split up and began searching for the fuzzy elf. The team by the river scoped out the entire forest and even searched on the other bank for any sign of him, but they didn't have any luck. The same went for the team who searched the town. They asked everyone they could find if they had seen Kurt, but no one had. It was like he vanished off the face of the Earth. Finally they all met up again in the town square exhausted and unsure of what to do next.

"I don't understand it. Kurt's has to be somewhere in this dream. Why haven't we been able to find him yet?" Husk demanded angrily.

"It does seem strange. Maybe we were wrong about his worst nightmare." Speculated Magma.

"No, I'm sure that we are right. Kurt is avoiding us for a reason, but he is somewhere around this place. We just have try harder." Daytripper insisted

"I think I might have a solution to our problem. What if I try to take control of this dream? I mean I was able to sense in Rouge's dream that her skin was dangerous. What if I try to lead this dream so it takes us to Kurt?" Mirage contemplated

It's the best chance we got. None of our other ideas have worked. I say go for it." Shadow told her. The rest of the group nodded in approval. It was their best chance at succeeding.

"Thanks for believing in me guys. I hope I don't let you down." Mirage said blinking back tears of joy. Closing her eyes she cleared her mind of any doubts and fears of failure. She reached out and let the dream world filter inside. Slowly she concentrated on one thing and tried to mold the dream world so it would obey her wishes.

At first nothing happened and everyone just stared at her anxiously waiting for some sign that her powers were working. Suddenly they could hear angry shouts and cries for help coming their way. Mirage eyes flew open and she let out a gasp as she fell to the ground. "I think it worked." She said weakly.

"I think you're right now come on. We have to find the source of this disturbance." Shadow said helping her up. Mirage nodded and they took off running as fast as they could the Wagner's following them.

At the edge of town they found what they were looking for. An angry mob had surrounded a frightened and helpless Kurt who was desperately trying to get away. They kept shouting things at him angrily in German waving around pitchforks and torches. It was something right out of the Middle Ages.

"Kurt! Oh no, my baby. What are they going to do to my son?" Mrs. Wagner said clutching her husband's hand. She was desperately trying not to faint. Her face was etched with worry and concern for her son.

"I can't hear them clearly enough to decipher what their saying. But whatever it is it can't be good. We have to stop them before they harm Kurt." Mr. Wagner said.

"Question. Why hasn't Kurt just teleported away from them? Why is just lying there curled up in a ball?" demanded Boom Boom.

"I think it's because he's to afraid to concentrate or maybe he doesn't know about that power. Whatever the reason we have to stop them now, because they look like their ready to barbecue him." Mirage pointed out as the townsfolk tied Kurt to a stake and began to carry him away.

"Come on before it's too late!" Daytripper shouted already racing after her boyfriend. They followed the townsfolk till they reached a clearing. From there hiding place in the bushes they watched in horror as they began to get ready for a huge bonfire. They had to act soon or risk losing him.

While everyone conversed with one another about a plan of action, Daytripper watched the angry mob as they finished getting the logs set for the bonfire. They disappeared for a moment behind some trees, presumably to get some matches. This was her chance. She teleported from her position over in front of Kurt.

Hastily she began to undo the ropes that bound him to the stake. "Don't worry Kurt, I'll have you free momentarily. Just hold on." She whispered

Kurt looked up at her confused by the fact that she was helping him. "Who are you? Are you some kind of angle that protects demons like me?"

"I'm not an angle anymore then you're a demon. I'm a mutant just like you. I'm here with some friends and your parents to take you home. Just a few more ropes and you'll be free."

Kurt tried to help her out, but his hands were still bound. His tail blade wasn't sharp enough to cut through the thick ropes. Just as the girl was about to untie the last rope something hit her in the back. She cried out in pain and sank to the ground.

"What are you doing girl? Why are you trying to free that demon?" demanded one of the townsfolk.

"He's not a demon. He wouldn't hurt a fly. Leave him alone!" Daytripper said firing a forcebolt at him. It hit the guy right in the chest sending him crashing into two other people.

"Witch! She's a witch sent to set the demon free and take our souls. Stop her!" he shouted. The mob rushed her overwhelming her. She had no room to fire her forcebolts and her shape shifting wasn't going to hide her. Soon she was captured and tied to the same stake as Kurt was.

"Whoever you are. It looks like where in this together now. Thanks for trying to free me. Even if you failed."

"Where not done yet. I have some friends who will come through and rescue us. Neither of us is going to burn at the stake. You know you could set us both free right now if you wanted to." Daytripper told him softly as she tried to wiggle free.

"What do you mean I could free us? I can't undo these ropes or get us to safety."

"This is nothing more then a dream Kurt. It's your worst fear brought to life. To end it all you have to do is want to wake up and you will. Please you have to trust me when I say this isn't real."

The mob was getting very angry now. They were shouting and pointing at them. Daytripper couldn't understand everything they were saying, but she got the distinct feeling that they weren't wishing them anything nice. One of the guys tossed a lit torch onto the wood and the whole thing start to blaze with a fury.

In the Control Room alarms were ringing as Daytripper health signs went ballistic. Jean winced in pain as she felt Daytripper's thoughts and emotions wash through her. "Something is seriously wrong. I can sense it. Daytripper is panicking and the others are unsure of what to do. Forge you got to get her out of there now!"

"I'm trying, but the controls are jammed. I can't get the armband to unlock nor can I shut down the program. The dream has intensified too much for me to try and control it. They're on their own." Forge told her as his hands ran across the keyboard desperate to get things back under control.

In the infirmary things had gone from bad to worse. Rouge, who had been talking non stop to her little brother in an attempt to wake him up, was alarmed when his temperature started to rocket. "Mr. McCoy! Gale! Hurry something is wrong with Kurt!" she shouted, "Come on Kurt wake up. Can't you hear me? Kurt!"

"Move! This isn't good. His temperature went from 98.6 to 101 in just a few seconds. It shows no signs of stopping. We need to get him cool down fast. Sam! Jamie! Get me some icepacks fast. Professor I need you over here now. You got to try and calm him down. He's terrified right now and I can't get him to relax." Gale ordered.

The Professor rolled over towards Kurt who was starting to thrash around on the bed. Clumps of fur were being pulled out as he struggled to break free from his torment. Getting as close as he dared to him the Professor opened his mind up to Kurt in hopes of reaching him somehow. "Kurt you must calm down. Listen to me. You are having a nightmare. Whatever your experiencing it isn't real. If you continue like this you are going to die. Don't let the fear rule you. Take control of this nightmare and vanquish it."

Kurt seemed to calm down. His temperature started to go down. Everyone let out a sigh of relief. Everything was returning to normal. That's when is heart started to rate and suddenly he flat lined. "KURT! Oh God Kurt!" Rouge shouted trying to get to the bed, but Warren held her in place.

"No pulse. Starting compressions. One two three breath. One two three breath." Beast said starting CPR. He began chest compressions while Gail breathed into Kurt's mouth. They continued on for thirty seconds, but his heart didn't start again.

Grabbing the paddles they turned on the defibulater and charged it to 100. They shocked him, but still flat line. By now he had been flat lined for a minute. Time was running out. They recharged the machine to 150 and shocked him again. This time they got a rhythm. Beast wiped some sweat from his brow. "Its okay. We got him."

"Thank you Mr. McCoy. Thank you. You just saved my little brother's life!" Rouge said crying tears of joy. She was so elated that her brother was safe.

"What I want to know is what caused his heart to flat line in the first place? I mean shouldn't the team have prevented this from ever happening?" demanded Gail angrily.

"I'm sure that their doing the best they can. Remember they have the hardest task of us all. We must have faith in them." Professor said as calmly as he could manage under the circumstances. Inside though he was greatly worried. He had nearly lost one of his students. He hoped he wasn't going to lose any of them by the time this was over.

Back in the dream world the Wagner's and the mutants were watching horrified, as Kurt and Daytripper were being burned alive. It was time to take action. "We don't have time for a plan. Will have to wing it. Shadow, you're the only one who can get remotely close to them and set them free so do it. The rest of us will run interference. Mr. and Mrs. Wagner you stay here. Okay team let's go for it!" Mirage ordered jumping out of the bushes and firing some arrows into the crowd.

The mob turned to face the intrusion. They weren't prepared for a flaming maiden tossing fireballs all over the place sending them running. Boom Boom tossed some bombs into the midst causing several of them to drop their weapons. Sunspot and Husk double teamed using their powers to knock the crowd out.

Meanwhile Daytripper was struggling to break free of her ropes. She was attempting to shape shift into Kitty so her hands could slip free, but the flames were licking her boots, causing her to panic. Kurt was doing his best to avoid the flames, but soon they would be engulfed. "We have to get out of here before we are burned alive!"

"Really? I rather thought you enjoyed the idea of being roasted! I'm trying to loosen these ropes, but they're too tight. If only we had something sharp to cut them with!" Daytripper remarked sarcastically.

Suddenly from the shadows emerged a figure. In a blink of an eye a katana sliced the ropes apart. They started to fall into the flames, but both of them teleported out in the nick of time. They reemerged a few feet from the fire. Shadow materialized from the shadows and ran over to them. "Are you two okay? Did you get burnt at all?"

"Where fine. The flames didn't have enough time to do any major damage. But will have to inform Mrs. Wagner I ruined her dress. Kurt are you okay?" Daytripper asked turning to face him.

"Shaken up, but none the worst for the wear. You really are an angle you know that?" Kurt said smiling. Daytripper blushed at his comment. Suddenly Kurt's eyes rolled back and he fainted into her arms.

"Kurt! Shadow what's wrong with him? Why did he faint?" she asked frantically as she cradled the blue furred elf in her arms. She was aware that the rest of the team had defeated the mob and it was time to go, but she was afraid to move least she hurt him.

"It's nothing to be concerned about. Probably just some smoke inhalation. He'll be fine when he wakes up. I suggest we start moving before the town wakes up and finds us here." Shadow said helping her to her feet. Together they carried their injured comrade to safety.

Kurt's mom was on them the second they brought Kurt over to her. "Kurt! Oh my poor baby. Is he okay? Why isn't he conscious? Did he get burned badly? What is going on with him?" she asked frantically.

"Jimane, please Kurt's fine. He just a little worn out. Right now we need to go home and make sure everyone is okay. Give him to me. I'll carry him back to the house." Mr. Wagner said picking up his son.

Half an hour later they were all back in the Wagner's house getting first aid for their injuries and waiting for Kurt to awaken. Mostly they all had cuts and bruises. Daytripper had been extremely lucky it was only her outfit that had caught on fire and her uniform underneath protected her from the flames. "I never want to go through that again. Being burnt alive is not an experience I would recommend." Daytripper said as Mrs. Wagner finished bandaging her arms and legs in protective bandages with a salve rubbed on. Thankfully they were only minor and would eventually heal and leave no scaring.

"I'm sure none of you would like to repeat that experience. Now you must be on your way to help the rest of your friends. How may this be accomplished?" He asked finishing up with the last bandage.

"Only when Kurt accepts this a nothing, but a dream and wakes up, can we be on our way. And he better do it soon. I got a feeling the rest of our friends are in deep trouble." Boom Boom stated.

Suddenly Kurt began to stir on the couch. They all rushed over eagered to see their friend awaken. His eyes blinked and yelped in surprise of seeing all these people crowding around him. "Are you trying to give me a heart attack?"

"No, but would that have woken you up?" Husk asked innocently.

"Woken up? What are you talking about? I am awake!" Kurt said defensively.

Daytripper sat down at the edge of the couch and took his hands in hers. She brushed back a strand of loose hair and spoke softly to him. "No you're not really awake. This is a dream Kurt. Nothing in it is real except my friends and I. You need to wake up so we can go help other people like yourself. Can you do that for me?"

"How do I know I can even trust you? I don't even know who you are and you have to admit what your saying is kind of whack."

At first she didn't do anything. She just looked him in the eyes sadly. Then she leaned in and gently planted a kiss on his lips. He was caught off guard by the kiss and almost forced her away. But he was intrigued by it and kissed her right back.

All around them the air shimmered. The house and everything in it stated to dissolve. The New Mutants/X-Factor team could feel themselves being pulled away. But something was different this time. They felt like they where literally being pulled apart.

In the infirmary everyone was waiting anxiously for news on Kurt's condition. They didn't want to experience another episode like they had earlier. Suddenly the monitors beeped showing signs that he was about to awaken. Slowly at first he opened his eyes. He opened his mouth and groggily said, "That was some kiss Amanda gave me."

"KURT! Oh my God you're okay! I was so worried about you. Don't you ever scare me like that again ever!" Rogue yelled at him.

"Good to have you back buddy. You had Rogue here in a panic." Vincent said from his bed.

"What happened to me? The last thing I remember was being back in my hometown being burnt alive. Then it all went dark and I woke up to Amanda kissing me. Uh guys what happened to my fur and why am I in the infirmary surrounded by ice packs?" Kurt asked confused.

"We will tell you everything in due time. Right now you are going to lie down and let me examine you. Your heart stopped beating for a full minute and a half and that's not a good thing. I'm going to have to keep a close eye on you." Beast said already giving him an exam.

"Professor what's wrong? Why do you look so troubled? Did the others make it out of Kurt's mind okay? What's the deal?" Alex asked anxious for word on the team. He wanted his brother to be okay.

"I'm afraid there was a slight malfunction in the Danger Room. The team is safe and the machine is still working."

"Then what is the problem Professor?" Piotr asked as held Kitty's hand.

"The malfunction caused the team to be split up. Half of them are in Scott's mind while the rest of them are in Kitty's mind. Forge has informed me that if they both don't wake up simultaneously we risk losing them all." The Professor informed them all in a grave voice.
