Ch. 4: The Task At Hand
By: NelleFang-Slayer
Adam: The girl we are going to rescue is fifteen and her name is Kaddy Michaels. She is a street fighter who must have been living on the street for a while. She can handle herself except when it comes to keeping her abilities under control. Your mission is to get her to trust you and get her back here as fast as you can.
A girl around 18 walks through the doors. Only Adam and Emma knew who she was.
Emma: Jamie!
Emma runs to the girl and hugged her.
Jamie: Adam, Xavier and I have a good idea where Kaddy might be, but it is a long shot.
Adam: We will take what we can get. Now Jamie Xavier and I have agreed to make you the leader of this mission.
Jamie smiles very nervously.
Jamie: Um… okay only if Emma is my right hand gal, because I'm not very good at the leading thing if you remember the exercises.
Emma: You weren't that bad.
Emma gave Jamie a reassuring smile.
Jamie: You're still going to come, aren't you? Please, I can use all the help I can get.
Adam: Of course, it's fine with me. Everything is ready and we are waiting for your command. Are you ready?
Jamie: Let's go do this.
Adam: All right, Jamie you can lead the way to your Helix.
Jamie: You got it., but do I get to fly not Brennan right?
Adam: He's not going to be with you. He will be in our Helix.
Jamie: Yippy, I'm Captain.
Jamie started to jump up and down like a little child on Christmas. Emma chuckles at this sight. Once realizing everyone was watching her she stopped and smiled then left the room being followed by her crew; as they are walking Jamie states why she was so happy.
Jamie: I can't help it if I'm happy about flying the Helix it's fun.
Adam: Jamie it is a mission not play time.
Jamie: I know don't worry. I won't do anything that wild.
Adam: Jamie!
Jamie: All right just cool it.
The X-Men kids and Jamie and Emma walk to the front of the school and went outside. After seeing the airplane the X-Men kids' jaws dropped. Finally one broke the long silence.
Bobby: Awesome plane.
Jamie: Thanks Adam and I designed it together.
Emma: This isn't Helix 2. You had more than one built?
Jamie: Yeah, who else did I make my last escape? Besides I wanted a cool air craft to go long distances like to Sanctuary for instance; although I do have a few other ways of transportation which I will discuss with you later. Right now we have a mutant to rescue. Oh and by the way I named it. Welcome to the Zanth.
Emma gave a short laugh and they all walked into the air craft.
Jamie: Adam, I'm guessing the others will follow use for emergency backup it company shows up.
Adam: That's correct. Call if you need us.
Jamie: Got it.
Jamie pushes some controls in front of her and pulls the throttle towards her.
Jamie: Let's get this bird in the air.
The Zanth takes off and flies toward the city. Then the cloaking is activated and the Zanth disappears from sight. After about twenty minutes Jamie turned the plane into hover mode. She then turns to Emma a touches her shoulder.
Jamie: Alright your turn, Emma find her.
Jubilee: What is she going to do?
Jamie turns to the teen and whispers trying not to break Emma's concentration.
Jamie: She is going to find Kaddy psychically.
Jamie then looks at Emma who has her eyes closed.
Emma: Where are you?
She whispers to herself.
Jamie: Come on Em.
Emma: Gotcha! She's at the Roberts Apartment Buildings.
Jamie: Did you get that Adam. Wait a minute aren't those apartments in construction?
Adam Yes there are and a perfect place to hide from the public. I'm sending the rest of the gang along with some of Xavier's men. They will be there in twenty five minutes.
Jamie: Thanks Adam I'll call when we land.
Jamie starts flying in the direction toward the middle of the city. A few moments later she finds the building and lands the Zanth on the parking garage next to the building.
Jamie: Adam we're here how far off are the others?
Adam: Not too far back it will take a few minutes though so don't get yourself into trouble just yet.
Jamie: I'll try.
Jamie said laughing with a huge smile on her face.
Jamie's mind: Now only if I can keep that promise.
Jamie laughed again while she opened the back of the Zanth. Everyone got out and Jamie led into the floor right across from their transportation.
Jamie: Okay Emma do you have a fix on her.
Emma: She is definitely in the building, which you could already tell. She's on an upper level I just don't know which one.
Jamie is about to move toward the stairs when she thought of something better.
Jamie: Kaddy! Kaddy Michaels!
Bobby: What are you doing?
Jamie: Telling her that we are here so she can trust us, and that we aren't a threat.
Voice: Really? And how do I know you aren't a threat?
Jamie: Well at the moment you can't because you don't know us.
Jamie steps to her right revealing her comrades.
Jamie: My name is Jamie Scott, I'm a mutant. These are my friends who are also mutants.
Voice: What does that have to do with me?
Jamie: Because you are one too.
Voice: And how do you know that?
Jamie: Professor Charles Xavier. He can locate all mutants.
Voice: You won't be able to take me and do experiments on.
Jamie: Neither would I. I'm kind of bored with that scene. I had to go through that with the Diminion and Professor Xavier isn't like this.
Voice: How can I trust you or this Professor?
Jamie: Right now you can't. I told you we were her and who we are so you can have advantage. To give you an even more of an upper hand I will tell you our abilities. As I said before I am Jamie Scott and I am a feral and an elemental. I have super senses like speed, hearing, smell, healing, among other things. I also have the power to create and throw electricity.
Jamie flickers her hands and a ball of light blue forms in her hands. Jamie then closed her hand and the energy was gone. Jamie then turned to a young woman with read hair.
Jamie: This is Emma deLouro. She is a telempath. She can feel emotions and can even make someone feel things that aren't there. The young man to my right is Robert Drake, he is also called Iceman. It is clear what his power is, he is an elemental who can create ice. Holding his handing is his girlfriend Rogue. Touching her skin will let her absorb the life energy of someone or if a mutant their power for a little while. Jubilee here to my left is also an elemental; she can throw sparks similar to my power. Now that you know are powers you have the upper hand.
Voice: I guess you are right. But I still don't trust any of you. You Jamie have proven to be some what trustworthy. You are to come up to the forth floor and your friends are to go out side.
Jamie: Alright.
Emma: Jamie you shouldn't what if…
Jamie: I will contact you like when I was the Diminion prisoner and guinea pig.
Emma: Okay, I will go contact Adam and if you are don't come out…
Jamie: You will come in guns a blazing.
Emma smiles and leaves with the others. Jamie headed up the stairs to the fourth floor. Once on the forth level a shadow comes up behind her and tries to swing at Jamie but she stops it.
Jamie: I told you I can sense you, I am a feral.
Voice: I wanted to see that for myself. How come you have two different powers and your friends don't?
Jamie: I actually haven't figured that one out yet myself.
The girl steps out of the shadows finally trusting Jamie a little more. She looked fifteen with light brown hair about 5'4". She looked very tired and that she hasn't slept or eaten in a while.
Kaddy: Why did you come here? What do you want with me?
Jamie: I heard that a young mutant was over whelmed with power and needed help to control those hard gifts.
Kaddy: How can anyone help me?
Jamie: Xavier is a telepath and has a school for mutants like you who have difficulties with their powers.
Kaddy: I trust you Jamie Scott not this Xavier.
Jamie: Come with me to meet him, talk to him. If you don't feel you can trust him then you can leave.
Kaddy: Is that a promise?
Jamie: It's a guarantee.
Kaddy: Alright, I'm Kaddy by the way unless you already knew that.
Jamie: Yes I know who you are.
Kaddy: In that case you can call me Freaker.
Jamie: You're not a freaker.
Kaddy smiles. Then that smile is striped from her face. Jamie was looking around the area frantically. Something was wrong.
Jamie: We have to go because we are about to have company who want you for your powers and they want to destroy anyone who isn't a mutant.
Kaddy: Well since I don't hate other people, lets get out of here.
They run to a large window and Jamie kicks the glass out.
Jamie: Emma bring the Helix to the broken window on the forth floor and hurry.
Then suddenly three people were coming up the stairs and Jamie felt them. She turned around knowing exactly who they were.
Jamie: Kaddy you have to get to safety. Get into the air craft that comes up to the window and tell them to leave.
Kaddy: What about you?
Jamie: Don't worry about me, all I care about is to give you as normal life a mutant can have.
She lights up her hands while the Zanth is next to the window, Kaddy jumps into the ship and nods to Jamie. Jamie turns her attention to her guests.
Jamie: So you're Magneto?
Magneto: I am, and you have something that belongs to me.
Jamie: Sorry, she's not yours to have.
Jamie throws her electricity source from her hand to Magneto throwing him back across the room.
Jamie yells: Get out of here Emma!
Some kid walks toward Jamie. He raised his hands and says…
Kid: You're not getting away with that.
And he throws fire and it hits Jamie square in the chest. Jamie screams and falls to the ground on fire.
Hope you have enjoyed my story so far. Reveiws please.
