Sorry for the late chapter because I had a major English project to do and I stressed out over it. Well here it is I hope you like it. Enjoy and please give feedback because I need it. Thanks for reading. Enjoy. Review!

Brennan and Kaddy walked back into the kitchen where both the Mutant X and X-Men teams were waiting.

Shalimar: Did she open up to you?

Shal said smiling nervously.

Kaddy: Yes. And I know why she didn't tell you.

Brennan: And what did she tell you?

Kaddy: I'm sorry Brennan I am sworn to secrecy. Be patient, she wants to tell you but… it's painful for her. You must know she only told me because I don't know her.

Jesse: I don't get it. She wanted a stranger to open up to and not her family?

Jesse seem very depressed by this thought and Lexa rapped her arms around him from behind.

Kaddy: Jesse, she told me because she knew how each of you would react and didn't want to deal with that king of drama from all of you. You just have to trust me I…Ahh!

Kaddy screams and put her hands to her head. Adam rushes over to her with a confused and concerned look on his face.

Adam: Kaddy what is it? What's wrong?

Kaddy: My head… It hurts so much.

Then Kaddy straightens herself up.

Rogue: Is she alright?

Adam: Kaddy?

Kaddy: I was channeling her.

Brennan: Who?

Brennan as well as the others noticed Kaddy's blank expression. Suddenly Brennan started shaking Kaddy.

Brennan: Kaddy? What happened?

Kaddy: It doesn't concern you.

Adam: Kaddy don't shut us out. We can help you.

Kaddy: I'm not the one that needs the help.

Suddenly Emma's eyes quickly widened.

Emma: Jamie.

And she ran out of the room followed by the rest of the Mutant X team and Scott and Storm while Logan stayed behind because he wasn't quite sure what had happened.

Logan: Where are they going?

Kaddy: It doesn't matter. She's not there.

Logan raises his eye brows and realized where they went and headed out of the kitchen and toward Jamie's room.

Bobby: What were you channeling from Jamie?

Kaddy: Pain.

Rogue: We have to help her.

Bobby: Shouldn't we tell Mr. Kane and the others first?

Kaddy: No only we can help Jamie now.

Bobby: And here I thought we were all going to help you.

Rogue: Professor Xavier knew.

Kaddy: What do you mean?

Rogue: Well he probably got a read from her and sensed that something was wrong from the get go. He knew Jamie could help get you, Kaddy, here; and thought because of your powers you could help Jamie.

Bobby: What did you two talk about anyway?

Kaddy: Painful memories.

And at that moment Xavier rolled into the kitchen.

Xavier: Yes I'm sre they were. You three plus Ms. Jubilee and Kitty need to go find Jamie.

Kaddy: Professor what about the others?

Xavier: Adam and I will tell them that it was never their mission.

Kaddy: You and Adam knew about me long before you set the mission to find me.

Xavier: Yes.

Kaddy: You needed to get Jamie here so I can help her?

Xavier: Kaddy all you need is focus and control. The mutant we are really trying to save is Jamie. You must go now before you miss your chance.

With that he exited and Kaddy, Rogue, and Bobby got Kitty and Jubilee and took the X-Men jet to find a friend who needed help.

-Meanwhile-

The Mutant X team and Strom and Scott headed down the hallway to Jamie's room to only find it empty and seconds lateer were they joined by Logan.

Jesse: Where is she?

Brennan: I don't know I saw her come in here. She said she needed a nap.

Adam: She didn't need a nap, Brennan.

Shalimar: What do you know Adam?

Adam: That something is wrong, and has been since she rescued me.

:exa: What do you mean

At that moment Xavier entered the room.

Xavier: She has been going through something painful and it came to Adam's attention that she should get help.

Brennan: Help, what kind of help?

Shalimar: Kaddy. That's why you wanted Jamie to be the leader of the mission, because Kaddy had the power to see the problem.

Adam: Yes Shalimar you're right. We didn't come her to save Kaddy, we came her to save Jamie.

Scott: What's wrong with her?

Adam: I don't know, but I do know that she started to tell Kaddy and only her and some friends can really help Jamie.

Brennan: Adam we can help her.

Logan: No you can't.

They all looked at Logan who had been leaning up against the wall.

Brennan: What do you know? You don't know our Jamie.

Logan: But I do know someone who had been in a similar situation.

Brennan: And who would that be?

Logan: Rogue. She was afraid of her powers and she ran away.

Emma: Who helped her?

Xavier: Logan did, because they had a bond none of us had with her.

Logan: She knew she could trust me. We were in the same boat, both new to X-Men, and we had each other.

Jesse: Jamie has us.

Emma: No Jess she doesn't. She doesn't know us anymore we know her.

Shalimar: Emma, Jesse and I lived with her for a while we are her family.

Emma: Shal that was a long time ago. She is scared, confused, and hurt and the only one who knows what she might be going through is…

Jesse: Kaddy.

Xavier: Not only Kaddy. Rogue, Bobby, Jubilee, and Kitty; all have something in common with Jamie. This is their mission, not yours.

Brennan: What do you mean by that?

Adam: Brennan we can't help Jamie until we know the problem. And you know she won't talk to us about it. This was the only choice.

Brennan: Why couldn't you tell us in the first place? Don't you trust us?

Adam: Yes Brennan I do, I just don't trust your emotions. I know you allmight bombard her with questions she couldn't be able to handle answering. This was the only way.

Shalimar: So what do we do now Adam?

Adam: We have to wait and hope those kids can help Jamie through the problems she's facing.

Jesse: Kids? Adam I don't think they ca handle this.

Logan: They can, I've seen what they can do and they have seen a lot. They can handle this.

Brennan: I hope you're right.

Adam: We'll get her back.

Shalimar: But what if we don't Adam. We just got her back. Jesse and I can't lose her. Not again, especially like this.

Adam: We just have to hope for the best.

Brennan quietly walks out of the room into the hall. Logan noticed this move and followed.

Logan: Are you okay?

Brennan: I wish I could do something.

Logan: You really care about her, don't you?

Brennan: Yeah I do. Like a sister.

Logan: They will help her.

Brennan: How do you know they can do this?

Logan: Those kids have gotten through worse.
