A/N:Not much I can say about this chapter. Hope you like it. Enjoy

Storm landed the jet on Muir Island. She hated coming unannounced but she had a feeling that if she had asked Moira if she could show up, she'd be told no. She wanted to see Charles for herself. Part of her didn't believe that a man who had been ripped apart could be alive but Charles was always full of surprises.

Storm rang the door bell and with in a few moments, Moira opened the door.

"Storm."

"Hi Moira. Is he here?"

"Yes. I was expecting you to come, espesually since he hadn't told you himself. Come on in. He's resting in the back. I'll take you to him."

Wolvierine, who was fully recoved by now, lead the way to the med-lab where they placed Calisto and Angel. During the flight home, Angel, or Death as he was refuring to himself, became such a pain that Rogue put the jet on auto pilot and knocked him out with her super strength.

"You," Wolverine said to Magneto, "Stay here."

"You two be all right down here while I go check on somethin'?"

"yeah, we'll be fine Logan." Rogue replied pulling off her gloves and keeping them off until Logan got back. She would use her power if she had to and everyone knew that.

Logan ran out of the hall and went up the elevator. He ran into Sean and asked, "where did Strom go?'

"Muir Island. Didn't you get that from what she said earlier boy-o?"

"Just checkin'." Logan said as he ran to Strom's room where he picked up the phone and dialed Muir Island.

Muir Island:

Moira lead Strom to Xavier's room and when they got there, Strom found Xavier reading a book, which he put aside when he saw Storm walk into the room. The phone rang, Moira left Strom in the room as she went to answer it.

"Strom. I had no doubt that you would eventually find out."

Storm simply smiled as she pulled up a chair and sat next to Charles's bed. For a while no one said anything but finally Strom asked, "But why? Why didn't you tell us that you were alive?"

"I'm sorry, I know I should have told you but you wouldn't understand."

"What? I wouldn't understand what?" Storm asked, "Charles, I've been with you just as long as Scott and Jean have, okay maybe not as long as jean, but whatever your reasone for not telling us, I'm sure I can comprehend."

"Storm," Moira said walking back into the room, "the phone is for you lass. You can take it in the hall if ya like."

Strom nodded her head and walked out into the hall, closed the door behind her and picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Storm, it logan."

"Did you find Warren?"

"Yeah we found him but he ain't the same."

"What do you mean?"

"This Apocolypse guy expiremented on him. Took his feathered wings and gave him metal ones. The guy even turned Warren's skin blue."

"why? Why on earth would anyone want to do that to anyone espesually warren?"

"I don't know Storm but he isn't himself, mentally even. He keeps saying that he's the Horseman Death and Apocolypse will make us pay. He doesn't know who he is, Storm."

"Your saying he's been brain washed."

"Yeah, 'fraid so. That's why I called. We need the Professer……"

"To unlock his mind. I know but I don't know if he's going to do it."

"He being stubborn?"

"He won't tell me why he didn't tell us that he was alive. He said I wouldn't understand."

"Maybe he's right. Maybe its something that you never thought he'd be capable of doing and something you never saw coming."

"Maybe. I've got to go Logan. Take care."
"You too Strom."

Strom hung up the phone and walked back into the room and stood at Xavier's bed.

"Something wrong Storm?" Moira asked seeing Storm's upset face.

"Yeah actually. Warren was captured by a mutant named Apocolypse and he experiemented on him. Gave him metal wings and blue skin. Logan was on the phone."

"Does he know why Apocolypse did this?" Xavier asked.

"No, all Warren says is that he is the Horseman Death. He doesn't remember who he is. Charles, we need you to….."

"Read his mind. I knew you were going to say that. Strom, the mind isn't a box that can be opened and reopened….."

"It has to discover things for itself. Don't feed that speech to me, Charles. That is saved for Wolverine. This is different. You've never read Warren's mind before besides he is one of us and we can't just leave him to be a pawn for Apocalypse."

"I'm afraid its too late for that." Xavier said as Strom shook her head. She never realized how stubborn Charles actually was. She had always known that he would never give into Magneto or anyone else who saw something different than his dream but she didn't think he wouldn't help one of his students.

"Charles, at least come back with me." Strom pleaded. "The students, they need you."

"Your in charge now Strom. They no longer need me but you. You are the one they will look up to from now on."

"Maybe but they deserve to see you one more time. If you don't come back for Warren or the other students, come back for Jean."

"Strom, I can't help her. I couldn't stop her the first time. Why do you think I could stop her now?"

"I don't know! Maybe because she could be weaker than before somehow! I don't know!" Strom said yelling. She had lost her temper and when she realized it she closed her eyes and tried to calm down and the she said, "You know, your right. I guess I don't understand why you won't come back. I hope you reconsider. Think about everything that's happening. Warren needs you, charles. We all do." Storm took one last look at Xavier and walked out of the room and headed for the jet.
