Dear Reader,

            I regret to inform you that your author Bry has been injured in an accident caused by helping create a nuclear fusion reactor. She has been left to die in agonizing pain and would like to thank Chaosi for informing her school. As her dying wish she wanted me to end your cliff hanger suspense and tell you what would have happened.

            Thanks for Reading

Mr. Green

Chapter 8

Searching and Caressing

            "Storm, Wolverine, do you copy?" Professor Xavier frowned at the static. He had been trying to contact the duo for over an hour but their frequency remained blank. He placed the com-link on his high polished wooden desk and leaned back into his wheel chair. He pushed his mind forward, trying to establish a telepathic link, but like all the previous times, he felt a mental block. Worry furrowed his brow when the knock sounded against the door.

            "The door is open, Kurt."

            The oiled hinges opened effortlessly and Kurt Wagner entered the room on the ceiling. He flipped down to the wooden floors and looked the Professor in the eye.

            "Have you found Ororo and Logan?" He inquired; his yellow eyes were filled with concern.

            "No, there is just a mental barrier. This mutant must have telepathic capabilities that cause interference. I would like to send out reinforcements but it almost seems foolish, with Scott down, all I have left are you and the children. I would prefer that we obtain more information."

            Kurt sat back on his heels. "Is there anything reported on the news?"

            "As of yet, no, but with this opponent you almost can guarantee a front page news line!" 

            "We must stop this before anything else happens; we must find Ororo before she is injured."

            The Professor noticed the lack of mention of Logan. "Yes, we must plan something." He stared at his new recruit. "Will you go collect Bobby and Rogue? We must plan quickly."

            Kurt gave a short nod and teleported out the open door.

            Storm's eyes ached. She willed them open but they remained sealed shut. Her arms were bound and after tugging at the restraints she determined that they were secure. She measured her chances of her hitting the bounds with lightning when she felt them tug.

            "It would not be wise to do anything foolish, Ororo." She felt a tingle of energy tinkle down her spine. The voice sounded eerily familiar.

            "How do you know my name? What did you do to me?" 

            The voice dropped lower as the person knelt beside her, "I have complete control of your central nervous system. One false move and saying you will be a vegetable will be putting in lightly."  The mutant stood back up and continued. "As for your name, I was hoping you would answer that for me. Tell me what you know about Alkali Lake?"

            Storm had calculated the exact point the voice was coming from when she sent a bolt of lightning from the sky. The crash sounded and Storm heard something fall. She sighed with relief when the voice continued from the other direction.

            "Wrong answer." Storm felt a small pain in her spine when her world returned to blackness.

            Rogue gripped Bobby's shoulders; his lips caressed hers and she moaned with pleasure. His arms clutched her closer and she held on harder. Everything in knew this was wrong, but she did not care. She savored the moment until Bobby pulled back.

            She smiled into his blue eyes when started talking to her.

            "The Professor needs you, Ms. Rogue."

            She became puzzled. "Bobby since when do you have a German accent?"

            He just continued his grin and said, "Please, it is an emergency!"

            Rogue flashed out of her dream and screamed as she shot up in her bed. Nightcrawler did not look phased. "Good evening, Rogue. The Professor needs to speak with you and Bobby as soon as possible."

            Rogue clutched her chest. "I am sorry Kurt. You just gave me a scare. What happened?"

            "The Professor would like to tell you himself. Would you like to collect Bobby or would you like me to?"

            She rubbed her eyes and said, "I'll get Bobby. I will see you downstairs."

            He nodded and in an instant he disappeared.

            Rogue swung out of bed and opened her door. The hinges screamed in protest. Her bare feet walked across the wool carpet down the hall towards Bobby's room. She did not bother to knock as she slipped into the dark room.

            All the lights were off but he sat awake against his headboard playing with ice. He jumped when the door opened and quickly dissolved the indecent ice sculpture of Marie he was created. He smiled when he saw Marie approach the bed and raised his eyebrows.

            "Well, well, what did I do to deserve the honor of this visit?" He reached up and pulled her down on his bed. He carefully placed her in his arms, and she resisted the normal urge to increase the gap of their bodies.

            "As much as I love being with you, the Professor has summoned us immediately."

            Bobby looked down at her with shock in his eyes. "What happened?"

            "Nightcrawler would not say. All he said was to come down immediately."

            Bobby sighed as he let her go. He reached over to put on a sweat shirt from his floor over his tank top and turned to her. "Do you think it's about Storm and Logan?"

            Worry filled her eyes. "I hope not. I just got Logan back; I don't want anything to happen to my sergeant brother!"

            He gave her a hug and pulled her out of the bed. "I guess we better go down and find out."

            Rogue nodded and took Bobby's hand and enclosed it in her gloved hand. They walked out of the room when Bobby stopped her. "I won't let anything happen to you Marie." He whispered.

            "Like anything would happen when I have my Iceman to save me!" She shook her long auburn hair and smiled at her boyfriend. "Love changes everything, Bobby."

            They started walking down the steps when he said, "Only for the better."

AN/ My usual length since I have school work to catch up with! Hehe! I hope there is enough sap for Lara! Keep up reviewing! I love them all and there is no such thing as a bad review. Oh and I got the book from the mall for the person who asked… I am having a slight writers block so tell me your ideas for the next chapter. And I am planning to write another Bobby/Rogue fic.
