Untouchable

AN/ 136 reviews! Not bad for a little over a week's writing! I love everyone of my reviewers! Keep up the FANTASTIC job. I would also like to let you all know that I posted my new story, It was all a Dream. It is slightly a AU but it contains Bobby and Rogue so if you like my writing I propose you go read that story and tell me what you think! (I promise even though I am writing another story I will keep constant with these updates!)

To libra: The reason I don't write about Kitty and Jubilee is because I am uncertain of their personalities. If anyone would like to explain the basics to me I will try to incorporate them in the story!

 Keep on reviewing everyone!

Love to all my reviewers!

Chapter 9

Awakenings

                      Rogue sat next to Bobby at the table they had all gathered less then 3 hours before. The Professor had filled them in about the disappearance and they all sat there mulling over the details.

                      "Maybe they crashed or something." Bobby suggested.

                      Charles shook his head. "No, the crash site the Blackbird would generate would have caused a news frenzy. I fear it is much worse then that."

                      "What could be worse Professor?" Rogue asked.

                      "I fear they have been taken hostage."

                      "Hostage!" Bobby and Rogue shouted at the same time.

                      Nightcrawler sat back, mussing about the situation. "Maybe this new mutant needs them for something?"

                      "What are you suggesting Kurt."

                      He shook his head. "I don't know Xavier but I presume sitting around here won't solve anything. We should send another team out."

                      Xavier shook his bald head. "I can't! If anything happens to this new squad then there won't be anybody left."

                      Rogue stood up. "Send Bobby and I! We could sneak in and examine the situation, Professor."

                      "Rogue, it is too dangerous. If anything happens to…"

                      Bobby stood beside his girlfriend. "You told me yourself that I could always become a member of the X-Men. We are needed now instead of later. Just because we are young doesn't mean we are foolish."

                      "We don't even know where they are! I am only able to pinpoint them in the state of Ohio. I just can't send you on a wild goose hunt."

                      Rogue raised her chin. "We don't have any other choice! We could do it Professor. Even though Blackbird is gone, we could use one of Scott's high-tech sports cars. They will get us within the state in under an hour!"

                      The Professor began to protest when a crash echoed through the tunnels. All four the individuals ran to the medical room. Sitting up from cot, Scott was messaging his temples.

                      Rogue yelled, "Scott you are alright!"

                      He stared at the group. He swung down from the table and bolted from the room.

                      The Professor wheeled himself as quickly as possible. "Scott, where do you think you are going?"

                      "To Jean." He answered simply.

                      Bobby placed a hand on the man's shoulder. "Jean's been dead for 2 weeks, Cyclops."

                      Scott shook his head. "No. She is in Westerly, Ohio and if I don't get there soon, she is going to kill Logan and Ororo."

                      Kurt inhaled sharply. "How do you know this?"

                      Scott pulled on his leather like suit. "She told me."

                      He turned to Rogue and Bobby. "What are you waiting for, suit up. We have to leave now." He pounded on the wall and the closet opened displaying the X-Men suits. Without a word they began to dress.

                      The Professor looked up at his former pupil. "Are you sure you are up to this? You just woke up from a coma."

                      Scott looked at the teacher. "If I don't go, everything will be ruined."

                      Without another word Scott ran down to the hanger with Bobby and Rogue chasing after him. He ran to a small aircraft and motioned for them to get in.

                      "This baby may be old but it will get us there." He jumped behind the controls and fastened his seat belts. "You are in for one heck of a ride."

                      They whirled off and the two teenagers were praying as much as Kurt was from the land.  Kurt turned to the Professor. "What just happened."

                      Xavier shook his head in puzzlement. "I don't know, Kurt. I don't know."

                      Logan began coughing profusely. He tried to roll on his side but his body was caught in an awkward position with his arms bound together around his waist and his legs were twisted around each other. He muttered a curse. He looked at his surroundings and was shocked to see Storm tied up in a similar fashion. His senses told him she was still breathing but she was knocked out cold. He started to wiggle his way out of his bonds, but all that caused was the bonds to tighten. Without another choice, he sprung his metal claws to cut him free but they would not move. He howled in pain when they just seemed to imbed deeper in his skin.

                      Hay cracked under the feet of his captor. He could not see her from the direction she was walking, but he could smell her almost familiar sent.

                      "Well, well, my kitty cat has woken up from his cat nap!"

                      "What in hell do you want?" He burst out.

                      She began to circle his bound body. "Many things, my friend, many things." He tried to angle his neck around to get a look but her boot pressed against his back. "Your friend tried some funny business on me and she almost died for the offence. You try one thing, Wolverine, and you will feel how it feels to be sliced up from the inside out, understand?"

                      He grunted a reply and she gave him a slight display of his power. He screamed as the metal tore through his body. "What was that?"

                      "What do you want to know?" He managed to get out.

                      Her voice filled with pleasure. "Good. I want to know what you know about Alkali Lake."

                      "What do you want to know about that rat hole?"

                      She used her powers again and stated, "Kitty, I ask the questions, not you. Tell me what you know. Everything."

                      His breathing became ragged. "It was a facility controlled by William Stryker. He had plans to destroy all of mutant kind. But you don't have to worry about him. The dumb bastard is dead."

                      Out of malice, she used her means of torture again. "So how did he plan to succeed at this task?"

                      Wolverine grunted, "By using… Celerbo."

                      An image of the circular room filled her head along with flashes of the complex; the rotten walls, the dead corpses, and the X-Men.

                      "Who are the X-Men? What are they?" She bellowed because the pain in her head was increasing.

                      "Something bigger than you will ever be."

                      She let go of her control of her powers for a brief second; her brain was overloaded as everything flooded through her brain.

                      "Scott, is Scott ok Logan?" All the anger left her voice and the person she hadn't been for a long while peeked through. "The children, did Blackbird get out in time?"

                      The bird crumbled next to Storm. She looked at what she had done and cried out, "Ororo, what have I become?"

                      Logan didn't even respond to her questions. Before him stood a ghost. The ghost of the one person he thought he lost forever.

                      "Jean, you're alive."

                      When Dr. Gray heard her name, she released her powers and propelled towards the sky. The energy alone knocked Logan back to unconsciousness.

                      She was back.

     AN/ A little short but still an update! Not much romance but the Phoenix has risen! If you think this is crap I will rewrite it. But since you are down here review or I will send my stuffed animal Mr. Green after you. He has ways of making you talk! *evil laugh*
