"Eric, I trust my students to make responsible de-"
"I trusted my son and look where he is."
"Pietro has be-"
"Find him, Charles. Tell me where he is."
The Professor and Magneto faced off for the space of a minute before Xavier opened his consciousness to find Pietro.
"No." he whispered when he felt Pietro's panic emanating from the second floor of the Institute. From Kurt and Evan's room.
"You see the gravity of this situation. We have been housing traitors. Phoenix apprehended the other boy coming from the Police Station with an FBI agent."
Despite himself, Charles Xavier remembered all the trouble that Kurt and Evan had caused in the last week. Could they really be spies? He refused to answer the question. He double checked and felt Kurt's anxiety change to cold fear along with Pietro. A few moments later Logan could be heard through the thick ceiling.
"We must remove them."
"You can't just kill them. I don't think they would do something like that." Kitty yelled at Magneto. "Professor, tell him that they wouldn't tell on us."
"Evan would do no such thing. This is his home." Storm added.
There was a commotion on the stairs and Logan appeared, dragging Kurt and Pietro with him and looking madder than the devil. He pushed them down the stairs and in the middle of the circle of mutants.
Everyone fell silent.
"Charles." Magneto and Storm said in unison.
The Professor turned to stare out a window.
"We can make this easy for you." Kurt whispered. He reached for Pietro's arm and 'ported away.
"Evan and Pietro. Never, in a million years, would I have put them down as partners in crime." Hank McCoy stared dismally at the spot that Kurt and Pietro had occupied a moment ago.
"Partners in crime? Whadda ya mean partners in crime?"
"Magneto claims that the three of them have been spying on us for the government."
"Evan? Spy? Nah, I figured out why they keep sneakin' out at night."
"Why?"
"Evan and Kurt are convinced that someone's been framing Phoenix and they're using Pietro to get to whoever they think it is."
"What?" Everyone stared at Logan.
"I can do detective work too, y'know. Some guy named Haiden is mixed up in this, I think he's been using Phoenix's identity."
"So what were the documents that Evan gave the agent?"
"Maybe pr-"
Logan was cut off by the sound of choppers and sirens.
"We have you surrounded. Come out with your hands on your head and you will not be harmed."
"Maybe not." Logan's mind raced. He honestly didn't believe that Evan ratted out on the X-Men, and his gut was telling him that Pietro and Kurt were innocent as well.
"I repeat, come out with your hands high or we will open fire."
"They don't know how many people are in here, a few of us will go out there and the rest of you, hide. Don't tell me Scott isn't back yet…"
Magneto watched, a silent judgment written on his face, as the majority of the mutants went into hiding throughout the Institute. It was obvious that Xavier had anticipated such an event. In less than a minute, the room had cleared significantly, leaving only Magneto, Wolverine, Storm, Toad, Avalanche, Shadow Cat, Mystique, Blob, Charles Xavier and Jean Grey behind. They all looked at one another, emotions warring with each other in their eyes.
"Let's go then. When Scott gets back he can organize a team to get us out."
"You have a lot of confidence in the boy." Magneto observed.
Logan shrugged. "There's no one else after this." And that was the closest he would let himself get to complimenting Scott. With one last glance around him, Logan led the others out of the Xavier Mansion, fiercely praying to all that was holy that Pietro, Kurt and Evan were innocent and that Scott returned with them in time to save their asses.
~~ Evan ~~
It had been going well until He showed up. Evan had walked into the Police Station, told the lady at the front desk about the disks he'd found and in about five minutes he was discussing the find with a handful of cops and an FBI agent named Randolph Someone-or-other. He left the building, shook hands with the agent and then Scott walked up. He fell in stride with Evan, never saying a word, but somehow apologizing anyway. For the tenth time in an hour, Evan wished that he'd remembered to bring his skateboard. And then the damn helicopters landed practically on top of them. Perfect. Men dressed in black with guns ran up to the pair yelling for them to put their hands in the air. And they did, but that one idiot had to sneak up on Scott and take his glasses off. Remembering the scene that followed made Evan feel very old and very tired. Some people just didn't learn. It had taken Scott a second to shut his eyes, but in that one second, he had blown up two helicopters and taken the ceilings off half of Bayville. Evan heaved a gusty sigh. Someone had panicked and stepped on Scott's glasses. He always kept a spare, but the militants refused to let him put them on. He ended up melting two more helicopters before the wise asses let up and let Scott have his glasses. They ended up driving to the military base where Scott and Evan were now being interrogated. I bet Phoenix had something to do with this.
