Chapter Two
Jean didn't say anything as she flew the jet straight up. Kathy checked out the window to make sure they didn't hit anything on the way up. Jean flew a bit slower as she flew around the area.
"Do you think this is just some way to get us killed?" Kathy asked.
"It might be," Jean said," Keep a good look out. No telling what might happen."
"Jean," Charle's voice came over the speaker." I've turned on the cameras, we can see you clear as ever."
"That's good news," Jean said.
"Keep your eyes open," Charles said.
"We know Professor," Kathy said, looking out the window.
"Acording to this report," Jean said, looking over the paper she had been sent." The thing she be- right above us?"
"That can't be right," Kathy said, looking up.
Jean got out of her seat and looked up too. There was something very small heading toward them. They looked at each other, than at the thing.
"That can't be it," Jean said, sitting back down.
"It's just a small piece of rock," Kathy said, grabbing the paper from Jean and looking over it." This thing says it should be bigger than our jet. It should be bigger than the mansion."
"See anything?" Magneto's voice came over the speaker.
"We saw a small rock," Jean said," It shouldn't hurt the jet."
Just then something hit the jet. The jet gave a jerk, before begining to fall.
"WHAT'S HAPPENNING?" Kathy shouted, holding on to her seat.
"I don't know," Jean yelled, trying to get the jet to work again." Something much bigger hit the side of the jet. All power, except for the cameras, are down."
"Great," Kathy said," They can watch us die."
"That's not funny," Jean said.
Kathy thought for a second, before wrapping her arms around Jean neck. Jean looked at her, then out the window and noticed they were about to crash into the ocean. Kathy teleported before the jet hit the water.
Charles and everyone else watched as the screen went out. Charles looked at Magneto, who looked at shocked as everyone else.
"Don't worry," Charles said, looking at everyone." Kathy teleported herself and Jean out."
Kurt gave a sigh of relief as Todd fell to the ground about to faint. Logan began to rewind the tape they had. He watched as the thing hit the side of the jet. He paused it to see what it was.
"It's a meteor," Logan said and everyone turned to him." You can tell."
"But meteors have some kind of metal in them," Magneto said.
"This must be different," Charles said," Some new meteor or some new chemicals."
"Maybe a piece of it fell off of it when it hit the jet," Beast said," If a piece did, than I can run some tests."
"The jet is probably under the ocean now," Charles said, putting on his cerebro helmet." Lets find Kathy and Jean first. Jean has a small camera with her. We might be able to see where they are."
Kathy and Jean were beginning to fall out of the sky.
"Where did you teleport to?" Jean asked, looking down to see water.
"No where," Kathy said," We just needed to get out of the jet."
Kathy teleported again, slowing them down a bit, but they had to hit the water sometime. Jean came up first, then Kathy.
"Great," Jean said," I'm wet."
"What's that?" Kathy asked, pointing to the thing behind Jean.
Jean turned around to see something silver floating in the water. She swam over to it and noticed that it was a piece of a rock. Jean picked it up to see that it was as heavy as a normal rock.
"Rocks can't float," Jean whispered, putting it in her pocket." The professor will want to know what it is."
"Where are we?" Kathy asked, swimming backwards over to Jean.
"Where do you think?" Jean snapped," We are in the middle of the ocean."
"The island can't be far," Kathy said.
"What?" Jean asked, as they began to swim north." You can't think that we can swim all the way to the island?"
"Hello, we are mutants," Kathy said," I could probably run in the water."
"What about me?" Jean asked.
"I'll fly us there," Kathy said.
Charles focused on finding them, but couldn't since they weren't using their mutant powers. Charles took off the helmet and sighed.
"I can't seem to find them," Charles said.
"VHAT?" Kurt shouted.
"They could still be alive Kurt, don't worry," Charles said," It's just this cerebro ain't as good as the one back at the mansion. They need to use their powers for me to find them."
Just then cerebro began to go off. Charles quickly put back on the helmet and there they were. Flying over the ocean.
"See elf?" Logan asked," They are fine."
"Jean," Charles tried to contact her telepathically, but something was blocking it.
"What's wrong?" Todd asked.
"I can't talk to them," Charles said, taking off his helmet." It's like something is blocking the signal. They should be here in about five minutes."
Jean had her arms wrapped around Kathy's neck and had her legs wrapped around her waist, like Kathy was giving Jean a piggy-back ride.
"I feel so uncomfortable," Jean moaned.
"Ya," Kathy said," You are older than me and I'm the one giving you the ride. What is wrong with this picture?"
"Everything," Jean said," Why hasn't the Professor contacted us yet? They must of knew the jet went down. Why hasn't he tried?"
"I don't know," Kathy said," But we are almost to the island, so don't worry."
Jean looked ahead of them, indeed they were almost to the island. She gave a small sigh of relief. Kathy put one hand in the water, while she kept looking in front of her. They hoped Charles would give them some answers.
