"So where do we start?" Logan asked as the X-Men geared up on the Blackbird. He stood next to Ilehana as Blaze accessed the hotels security footage.
"Well it looks like Jedda used her powers to escape. See here the two of them are falling and they just melt into the wall and vanish around the building... Lets see... There they go down towards the I4." Blaze said consulting the screen, "Then they go out of camera shot."
"Well it's a start," Ilehana said retying her long blonde hair turning her blue/grey eyes to Wolverine.
"Not much of one though, Jedda couldn't have walked all that quickly or far with Crystal so she either got a lift or has a den near by so lets take a look, maybe Logan can get a sent." Storm said heading down the ramp on to a small area of swampland.
"Shame the swamp rat ain't here he'd feel right at home here," Logan said sarcastically as he pulled his boot free of some mud with some difficulty. Making Blaze and Ilehana snort with laughter.
"Shame he's not here to be tormented, or to torment Logan back," Cannonball whispered to Bobby and Peter making them laugh as well.
"I heard that Bub, so watch it," Logan said making the whole company laugh out loud.

"Hey guys why don't you head back to Gambit, I've got to take Iona to the bathroom, she's not feeling to well, I've got a radio if Gambit needs us," Sam said as the nine of them exited Kraken thoroughly shaken. All of them were a bit queasy but Iona looked physically sick, she was a pretty good actor or so Sam thought.
"Ok Sam," Multiple Man said as Sam and Iona walked off to one side.
"We'd better come too, Gambit wouldn't want two of us to go off on our own," Vertigo said as she and Wolfsbane came over to where Sam and Iona were stood.
"OK, Multiple tell Gambit we'll meet up with you guys in a bit, OK?" Sam said leading Iona off to the nearest bathroom. As soon as they were out of sight Sam turned to Iona,
"It's OK you can drop the act now you did good," Wolfsbane said to Iona.
"Who's acting?" Iona said shaking.
"Oh no. Plan out the window." Vertigo said catching her friend as she collapsed.
"What window? Come on quick pit stop then we're gone!" Sam said helping Vertigo with Iona.

"What? They went of on their own?" Gambit exclaimed as Multiple Man reported to him.
"They have a radio though, it's not as if they'll get lost?" he replied a little worried about what Gambit was going to do with him.
"I suppose so, but they could do anything..." Gambit was cut off by screams. They weren't the normal ones coming from the Rollercoaster next to them these were real screams of terror coming from the Key West area...
"What the hell was that? Stay here everyone..." Gambit said before running off towards the screams.
"Cool left unsupervised," Multiple man said, "Who wants to go back on the Kraken?" The students from Xavier's school of gifted youngsters ran towards the line racing each other for first place.
