Waking from a long sleep Kurt finally awoke. Things were blurry for a moment but soon he saw they were clear. He was in some sort of strange laboratory and he was strapped to some sort of table. His clothes and watch were in a pile on the other side of the room, so he was in his elf form and naked. "Vhat happened," he groaned.

"I see you finally have awoken young man" a voice said and Kurt looked over and recognized him as the father of the boy he was looking for. "Sorry for not introducing myself but the name is Dr. Carl Maddicks" he explained.

"Nice to meet you" Kurt grunted. "But vhat are you intending to do vith me" he asked.

"Well you see I am a Dr in Genetics and well let's first bring in my son, shall we" Dr. Maddicks said. "Artie come in here" he said. Kurt looked over and watched as a small boy entered. He had a pink skin, white eyes and bumps on his head and looked very shy. "As you can see my son's mutation has deformed him. I intend to develop a treatment to cure him."

"Sir mutation is not a disease" Kurt said. "It is a genetic evolutionary development."

"Lies, it is a disease" Dr Maddicks snapped then calmed down. "I'm sorry but anyway to make sure the right treatment is safe I am going to need someone else to practice on" he explained looking at Kurt.

"Let me guess vho that is" Kurt gulped.

"Exactly, now you boys behave" Dr. Maddicks said. "I will be in the other room working" he said and walked out.

Across the country in a hospital in LA, Logan, Bobby, and Kitty sat in the waiting room. Logan had been pacing ever since they had brought the young girl there, which had been long enough for Bobby and Kitty to get a good amount of sleep and wake up again.

"Jeez Mr. Logan you need to relax" Kitty said. "I mean they're professionals they'll take care of her."

"Yeah you just need to chill man" Bobby yawned. "Boy this mission is taking longer then I thought."

Logan frowned. "Maybe but its taking too long" he frowned when two doors swooped open to reveal the doctor. Logan immediately looked at him. "How is she?"

The doctor smiled. "She'll be fine" he assured him. "She lost a lot of blood and was pretty banged up but we were able to pump more blood into her and other then that she has a broken arm but that will heal," he said.

Logan nodded. "Look can we see her?" he asked.

"Oh of course, we just put her in a room but make it quick she needs her rest" the doctor said. "She's down the hall third door on the left."

"Thanks" Kitty said seeing how anxious Logan was. "We better hurry up then."

Bobby got up and nodded and the three walked down the hall to the mystery girl's room. As soon as they entered they saw her trying to get out of bed and sneak out. "And what do you think your doing" Logan frowned.

"Getting out of this place, look thanks for getting me fixed and all but I've got places to go" the girl snapped and began to head toward the window.

"Sorry can't let you do that" Logan shook his head and went over to her when she fired sparks from her hands. They jumped out of the way but as she tried to leave she fell to the ground in pain, clenching her injured arm.

Logan went over and put her back into bed. "See kid you ain't gonna heal unless you stay here" he said then eyed Bobby who discreetly closed the door. "Now look we know what you are, kid."

"What's that suppose to mean" the girl frowned. "Oh yeah the fire work show okay so you know I'm a freak, what's you gonna do to me."

Bobby sprinkled some snow from his fingertips and looked at her. "Please refrain from the F word we really don't appreciate it. The more politically correct term is the normal gene impaired" he smirked.

Kitty smirked in agreement as she phased through Bobby's one side to his other and leaned against him. "Or just mutants" she said. "So anyway what's your name?"

The girl looked at the display of their powers with surprise then shrugged. "So you've got powers too, cool," she said. "The names Jubilee, so who are you people anyway and what you want."

"Like I'm Kitty, this is Bobby and Mr. grumpy is Logan" Kitty said. "We're mutants like you and your friends and we want to help you. We have a school that helps people learn control and protects them from being persecuted" Kitty explained.

"School? I don't know" Jubilee said.

"Come on" Bobby said. "I mean the way I see it the whole life of crime thing doesn't seem so glamorous, I mean what happened to you, besides it's free, the Prof will pay for everything you need and we live in a mansion."

"Mansion" Jubilee asked then shrugged. "Yeah sure why the hell not" she said. "But I'm not too sure about the others, the boss might not be willing to let them go and they might not want to."

"This boss he did this to ya kid" Logan asked even though he already had figured it out. She simply nodded and Logan popped a claw. "That's it, tell me where the hide out is and I'll go in and handle it."

"Look Logan maybe going in swinging isn't the best idea, I mean you might drive them away" Bobby suggested. "Besides who knows how strong this boss is."

"He's strong and smart" Jubilee nodded. "He got us in promising to take care of us and help us survive and stuff but once you get there even when you want to leave it's like you can't bare to, well not until he kicks you out" she sighed.

Kitty had been silent but then smiled. "Hey I think I have an idea," she said. "All we need to do is get on the inside" she said. "Jubilee how do you get into this group" she asked.

"Well the boss is always looking for new talent I guess if he thought you were talented he'd want you."

Kitty nodded. "Okay now where is the ware house?" she asked and grabbed Bobby. "Bobby and I have an impression to make" she said as Logan frowned.

Several hours later in the warehouse the various gang members were hanging around. "I still can't believe we left Jubilee" Angelo frowned. "God knows what happened to her."

"Yeah I know it kind of stinks, but at least the boss is off our backs" Ray agreed.

"Hey guys is it getting cold in here" Spyke asked as he began to shiver.

Suddenly the doors busted open from a stream of ice, which was followed by Bobby with Kitty clinging to him.

"We're under attack, stop them" Tabs said and created a bunch of bombs and threw them at the intruders but they went right through them and hit Angelo who went flying into a wall.

"I've got it" Spyke said and fired a spike straight at them but Bobby made an ice shield to deflect it.

"I've got it" Ray yelled and fired an electric charge but it went through the intruders and almost hit Tabs and Spyke. Ray was hit with an ice blast and slipped.

From out of the rafters appeared Remy. He dodged an ice blast and got right in the intruders face. "Remy got to admit you've got style and a lot guts coming in here, now what da you want?"

"To join you," Kitty said.

"Now that be an interesting answer, I non expected that but ya see we don't usually have people come knocking at our door looking to join up, so Remy suspicious" he said as he played with his cards.

"Gambit relax" a voice came from the upstairs. "I am in charge here, if you wish to work for me just come up the stairs."

Bobby looked at Kitty and shrugged. "Why not" he said and they went upstairs. It was very dark.

"Hello" Kitty asked when they saw a man in a cloak appear.

"Greetings, I know why you're here and I have something for you" he said and lifted his hand, the two felt faint and passed out.

Meanwhile back in Kentucky Dani awoke as the sun crept through Paige's bedroom window. When they had offered Dani a place to stay for the night, Paige had immediately demanded that Dani stay in her room and even sleep in her bed, despite Dani's resistance. Dani admired how friendly and kind these people were, but still was eager to get back to the mansion after successfully completing her mission. She had to get Sam to agree to come back to the Institute.

"So did you sleep okay" Paige called out as she entered with some breakfast.

"Yeah just fine, and look you don't have to do this stuff" She said referring to the breakfast.

"Oh no you're a guest and we Guthrie's treat them right" she said.

Dani rolled her eyes. "Fine, whatever, now where is your brother I need to talk to him?"

"You want to convince him to go to that school don't ya? Well he's over at the coal mine, but I'm going to take him his lunch soon if you want to tag along" Paige said.

"Sure that will be fine, now do you know where I could shower" Dani asked.

"Oh yeah it's down the hall to the right" Paige said. Dani nodded and began to walk away. "Oh um and Dani" she began to say.

Dani turned back. "Yes, something you need Paige" she asked.

"Well it's nothing, it's just you think I could ever get special powers and all" she asked.

Dani sighed; she could see how jealous Paige was of Sam's opportunity to leave. "Well I'm sure it's possible, I mean these things run in families sometimes and they can emerge anytime through puberty, so it's possible" she said and walked off to shower. Paige smiled slightly.

After showering Dani found Paige waiting for her and the two walked the long way to the coalmine. "How much longer" Dani asked.

"It should be just over that..." Paige began to say when a loud explosion noise erupted into the air. "That was from the mine" she exclaimed and both girls ran over the next hill to where the mineshaft opening was. They could feel the ground shaking and saw that the opening was beginning to fall apart. "It's a cave in, and Sam and the miners are in there."

A bunch of miners ran out fast and Dani grabbed one of them. "Who else is in there?"

"There's only 3 others there, two are knocked out, but the Guthrie boy is trying to carry them out, but they were deep in there and the things going to collapse, we have to clear the area ladies."

"No" Paige frowned. "Ahm waiting for my brother" she said. Dani agreed and waited with her as the other miners ran off. Just as the miners had cleared the area, skyrocketing from the mine opening was Sam who was using his powers. He had one knocked out man in his arms.

"Here take him and make sure he's okay there's one more" Sam said and ran back to the collapsing mine before the girls could stop him.

Dani looked over the knocked out man and started treating him the best she could. "Looks like he'll be fine" she said.

Paige nodded but kept looking over at the mining entrance. She waited a few minutes and frowned. "It's taking too long ahm' going in after him" she said and ran into the mine before Dani could protest.

"Damn it" Dani frowned as she watched in fear.

Inside Paige looked around frantically as the mine fell apart. "Sam, Sam where are you" she said as she went deeper into the mine. Soon she found Sam with the other miner, both had been knocked down by falling rubble. "My god" she said as she started to pull them out. "It's too heavy" she frowned as she struggled and tried to ignore the rocks falling on her back. "I need to concentrate" she said then began to feel funny. Her skin was acting strange and starting to change, it was becoming darker. "I feel funny" she thought to herself but she also realized the falling rubble wasn't bothering her anymore and she felt stronger.

Outside Dani continued to watch with anticipation. "That's it I'm going in" she said and was about to go in and when she saw what looked like a blackened Paige pulling Sam and the other miner to safety.

"Did it" Paige gasped as she dropped both of them, then changed back to her normal self and fell down, Dani caught her. "What happened?

Dani was shocked but smiled. "Looks like your mutant abilities emerged" she said. "Are you okay?"

Paige smiled with excitement. "Yeah I'll be fine, this is great, and that means I get to come to your school right?"

Dani was about to answer when Sam got up. "What happened, last thing I remembered, I tried to rocket out and I hit another wall" he said. "Anyway guess I need more control then I thought, so your school sounds like a good idea."

Dani smiled. "Well that good news you can join your sister at our school" she said.

"Wait, Paige's a mutant, okay what happened" Sam asked scratching his head.

"It's a long story but after we make sure the men are okay we can walk home and I can tell you all about I just saved your butt" Paige laughed and Dani joined in as Sam still looked rather confused.

Back at the mansion new recruit Rahne wandered around. She had left her room after meeting her new roommate, the princess. All that girl did was complain about her situation and this strange world she didn't understand and after a while Rahne decided to just leave her. After wandering for a bit she caught a brief scent of Rogue. "Wonder where she is" she thought and looked around till she was led to a wall. She felt it and watched in amazement as the wall opened up to reveal an elevator. Intrigued Rahne entered it and felt it go down.

"I fought I be on the first floor" she scratched her head. When the elevator stopped she looked to find a series of metal corridors. "This must be that underground Dr. Moira be talking about" she thought. She caught Rogue's scent again and followed it. She found Rogue in some sort of infirmary sighing over a bed that contained a sleeping blond girl.

"Rogue?" Rahne asked as she slowly entered.

Rogue looked up for a minute. "Oh hi" she muttered.

"So who is this, what happened to her" Rahne asked.

Rogue sighed. "Carol, she's in a coma because I happened to her" she cried.

Meanwhile upstairs Storm entered Xavier's office. "Hello Professor you summoned me" she asked.

"Yes Ororo" he explained. "First I see that your retrieval of the young princess went well."

"Yes" she said. "Any word on the others."

"Dani should be back later in the afternoon with two new students, Logan contacted me last night to explain they have one child in custody and he was sending Bobby and Kitty covertly to try and grab the others, and unfortunately no word from Kurt but I am not worried yet."

"I understand, but I assume you called us all here not just for a status report" Storm asked.

Xavier shook his head. "We have a new guest you should meet, he's a friend of Logan's he claims and he needs asylum. You can come in now"

After hearing his telepathic message in rushed in the young man known as Jean Paul Beaubier. "Thank you Professor" he said in his accented voice. "Now I do appreciate the accommodations for last night but may I ask what is the answer to my request."

"Mr. Beaubier after contacting Logan I understand you are a friend of his but he also told me you are no older then 18. If you wish to stay here you must live like any other student under the rules. Storm here is a teacher and you are subject to her authority"

Jean Paul sighed. "Like a child... well I have no choice so fine" he frowned.

Just as he agreed Jean rushed in. "Professor" she said.

"Jean, is there something wrong" Xavier asked her.

"I was just resting my eyes and something strange happened I think Bobby and Kitty could be in danger, and Kurt was in real trouble, I saw visions," she said. "Though I don't know I just have a feeling."

Xavier scanned her mind and got the information. "Indeed Jean. It may be nothing but I should contact Logan, and someone will have to go after Kurt immediately."

"But sir what if we are too late, he is rather far" Storm asked.

"Not to worry I'm sure Jean Paul would be happy to help" Xavier said looking over at the young man.

Meanwhile back down in Atlanta, Kurt remained strapped down. He had been drugged enough to make him too weak to teleport and the Dr. had continued drugging him with newer potential remedies causing Kurt to pass out often and get weaker every time. After being knocked out again Kurt slowly woke up to see little Artie staring at him. The boy had come and gone over the hours but he never had been this close before.

Kurt smiled at him weakly. "Hello Artie, vould you mind letting me go" he asked.

The boy sighed at him and slowly shook his head.

"Not a talker huh, but you still seem like a nice kid. Do you like me" he asked Artie.

Artie slowly nodded his head.

"Then vhy can't you let me out, any more of this and I could be really hurt" he explained.

Artie looked at him with his pupil-less white eyes and sighed shaking his head. He created a image out of thin air of his father and of a little boy having fun, but then the little boy then changed into Artie and the father looked sad.

Kurt watched with amazement. "So that's his power" Kurt thought. "Your powers mutated you and you vant your father to like you again" he asked.

Artie nodded.

"And if you let me go your Dad would be angry, I see. People don't like me much because of how I look either" Kurt explained. "I know this is hard, but your true friends accept you for vho you are" he said.

Artie made another image and Kurt interpreted it as confusion, and asking if Kurt had any friends.

"Jah, I live with my friends and they are different to but they look normal but they still like me and ve all have lots of fun" Kurt smiled and thought about his sister, and all the others back at the institute.

The boy looked up in amazement.

"And I came here to take you there" Kurt explained. "Ve vant you to come so ve can protect you and be your friends."

Artie became very excited and jumped up and down. He made an image of Kurt and himself then looked up hopefully.

"Jah ve can be good friends" Kurt nodded. "But please ve need to get out of here" Kurt explained.

Artie nodded and was about to free him when Dr. Maddicks entered.

"Oh good Artie you're here" he said. "I think I have just the right formula this time" he explained as he brushed Artie aside. "Now my good sir" he said to Kurt. "This either going to cure you or kill you, I'm sorry about all of this but sacrifices must be made" he explained as he readied the needle and prepared to inject Kurt.

Kurt sweated heavily. "Mein God" Kurt mumbled. He was sure he was done for but suddenly a flash of light and a strange image startled the Doctor and pushed him back. "Vhat the" Kurt started to say when he felt his clamps open and he was free. He looked and saw Artie grabbing his leg. "Danke friend" Kurt said and began to walk but fell down from weakness. The experimentation had made him much to weak to walk at the moment.

Artie rushed to his side to help him but then turned to see his father looming over them.

"You've been a very bad boy Artie" Dr. Maddicks scolded before pushing his son aside. "Now I must find out if this works" he said as he once again readied to inject the fallen Kurt, as Artie watched on in fear. But suddenly a laser blast shattered the needle. "What in the world" Dr. Maddicks exclaimed and turned to see two young men had entered his lab.

"Get away from him" Scott snapped and punched Dr. Maddicks in the jaw knocking him out.

"Looks like we got here just in time" Jean Paul said. "I assume the elf on the ground is your friend" he asked as he walked over next to Scott who was looking over Kurt.

"Yeah help me with him he don't look to good" Scott explained. "We need to get him some where safe and fast."

"You said fast huh" Jean Paul smirked. "Though I am a bit weary from the trip down, and you were great company I might add" Jean Paul winked at Scott before continuing. "Give him to me and I shall have him back to the institute ASAP" he assured Scott.

Scott nodded. "I'll find a way back north" he said as he put the weakened Kurt in Jean Paul's arms.

"Vait" Kurt moaned. "Bring Artie he's not safe here" he said pointing to the little pink boy huddled in the corner.

Scott nodded and told Jean Paul to get moving and in a flash he was gone with Kurt.

Scott walked over to Artie and offered his hand. "Hi little guy, I'm a friend of Kurt's and I want to take you to a very nice place" he said. "Will you let me?"

Artie looked up and slowly nodded as he got up. He made an image of himself and people being scared.

Scott nodded. "I see, let's see what we can do about that" He frowned and looked around when he saw Kurt's clothing. He went over and picked it up when he felt something in the pocket. It was a small watch. Scott smiled and gave the watch to Artie. "Just put it on" he said.

Artie looked confused but put the watch on and a holographic image appeared over him making him look like a normal boy. He smiled with glee.

"Now let's get out of here" Scott said picking him up and taking the boy to his new home.

Meanwhile back out west Logan smoked a cigar as he looked out the window of Jubilee's hospital room. Jubilee was resting and the doctor said that she could leave after a few hours of rest, but would have to take it easy for a few days. The girl had been beaten but luckily not too bad, yet it still angered him so much that he wished he could get his hand on this boss. Worse off Kit and Drake had been gone for a while and it was making him nervous. His thoughts were suddenly interrupted when a nurse entered. Logan grunted with surprise as he turned around.

"Sorry sir" the nurse said. She was carrying the clothes Jubilee had been wearing she had them cleaned. "I just wanted to drop these off for the girl that's all" she said.

"Yeah I'll take them" he said and let her hand them off to him then she left. Logan chuckled to himself as he looked at Jubilee's jacket. It was a long plastic yellow jacket. "Weird" he muttered.

"Hey that's my trademark jacket" Jubilee yawned from behind him. He turned to see she had awoken. "I've been wearing that thing since I first been on the streets" she explained.

Logan nodded. "You sound like an old man, how old are you anyway" he asked.

"Uh I'm 17" she said.

"Nice try, how old are you really?"

"15" Jubilee answered but saw Logan wasn't buying it. "Okay, I'm almost 14 I swear" she said.

"That's better, now how'd a kid like you end up on the streets, your family didn't reject you because of your powers?" he asked.

"Nah they emerged after I went on the streets. I had been on the streets about a year. I lived in a mall for a little bit then I started creating sparks till the boss found me and joined me up" she said.

"What about your family" he asked.

"Well my folks were immigrants from China and they were doctors, but some bad guys were looking for some other Lee family and got them confused with mine and killed them, I just got away" she sighed as she thought about her parents then suddenly had a weird look on her face. "Wait a minute."

"What is it" Logan wondered.

"It's strange like when I was with the gang I never thought about my parents, its like I thought I was always with the gang, it's like I'm remembering things for the first time. It's just strange I mean we all didn't really talk about before being in the gang."

Logan was quiet for a minute. "That is strange" he finally muttered. "Sounds almost like mind control" he explained when suddenly his cell phone rang. "Logan" he grunted. "Oh hello Charles" he said. "What you say Jean thinks they are in danger, well I think this guy might be a telepath, he was mentally manipulating the kid we got and the others" he said. Logan paused. "Yeah I agree the same could happen to Half Pint and Ice Cube, yeah I'll take care of it myself" he growled as one claw popped out. "No need to send anyone, Logan out" he said and hung up.

"Your going after them" Jubilee asked from behind Logan.

"Yeah and your staying here" he said as he turned around. He saw Jubilee already out of bed getting dressed.

"As if, I need to help the others," she said with such determination in her eyes Logan couldn't argue. "Besides who else is going to watch your back" she said as she put on her coat then winked at Logan before hiding her eyes behind her pink shades.

Bobby awoke with a groan. "Where am I" he muttered and realized he was lying on a worn out couch. "How'd I get here?"

"Sleepy head finally woke up" a familiar voice said and Bobby turned to see Kitty leaning up against him smiling. "You were out for hours," she said.

"What are we doing here?" he asked her, confusion in his tone.

"It's base silly you should know that. We're hanging here till the boss tells us the next move" she said.

"Kit what are you talking about, what boss, what's going on here" he said as he rose up and looked around.

"Look who woke up finally" a boy with spiked hair said.

"Yeah seems Drake decided to grace us with his presence" a black boy smirked.

Bobby became even more confused. "Wait who are you guys I don't know you" he yelled as he got up and became very defensive. His head felt weird, he knew thing weren't right but he was having trouble trying to remember how things were suppose to be. It was like he knew these kids but he wasn't supposed to, well besides Kitty.

Kitty looked at him. "Bobby what's wrong? You're scaring me," she asked.

"I don't know" he said then grabbed her. "But we have to get out of here now" he said and began to walk away when someone else walked in.

"Hello all, now what do we got here" a voice with a distinct Cajun accent asked. "Remy thinks he better have a talk with the Iceman" he said and pulled Bobby out of the room before the others could do anything."

"What's going on" Bobby frowned as he glared at Remy who covered his mouth.

"Keep it down kid, Remy only trying to help" he said. "You see some how you weren't effected by the boss, your mind fights it just like Remy's can. But for your own good you better just play along."

Bobby frowned. "Play along, what do you mean. You saying they are all being manipulated with their minds" he asked.

"Well yeah, how else can he keep them under control, otherwise they would of all left already and gone back to their real lives. He keeps them here and makes them remember nothing else. Now it happens to your pretty little thing too."

"Kitty" Bobby asked as he tried to figure things out. He knew she was the only thing that didn't seem like a lie. He felt images of the institute and the other X-Men he was trying to make sense of it. He looked up. "So why aren't you controlled. What are you in on it, you help him control them" he frowned.

"Remy does what he has to do" Remy responded. "I suggest you do the same if you wish to keep yourself and your friend safe."

Bobby shook his head. "I'm not going to let whoever this guy is control us" he said. "I know you wouldn't be telling me all of this if you weren't against what's going on, so why don't you help me" he asked.

"I have my obligations, sorry mon ami, all I can give you is my advice."

Bobby frowned. "Fine, but one way or another I am not staying here and neither is Kitty" he snapped and stormed back into the other room. He grabbed Kitty again. "Come on Kit we have to go" he said as he began to march to the nearest exit.

"Bobby what's going on where are we going" Kitty asked.

"Yes that is a good question," a stern voice said. They both turned to see from up the stairs the cloaked man. The other mutant teens all backed up and out of the way as he descended down the stairs. "Where are you going Robert, you weren't trying to leave were you, and taking Katherine with you. I think you should just sit down and relax."

"Oh yeah well you can just shove it" Bobby fumed and fired an ice blast at the cloaked man.

The man moved just out of the way. "Tisk tisk, getting sloppy in your misguided anger" he responded. "Now children I'm sorry but I have to punish him now" he said and rose one hand.

"Wait" Kitty yelled. "Please sir he'll be good I promise" she said.

"No Kitty" Bobby frowned then looked at all the others. "He's a liar he's controlling you all, stand up to him" he said.

"Poor deluded child" the cloaked man explained. "Children you all know I do what I do for your own good" he said then gestured his hand.

Immediately Bobby fell down in pain clutching his head. "Ahh" he yelled.

Kitty watched in horror. "Bobby" she said as she put her arms around him. She looked up at the cloaked man and became consumed with anger. "I don't know what's going on but you leave him alone" she frowned and ran up at him. Catching him by surprise she was able to knock him down for a minute.

He broke his hold on Bobby but quickly got up and through his cloaked head, glared at Kitty. "You'll regret that" he said and was about to launch a psychic attack on her.

"Doubt that" Bobby gasped and fired an ice blast at him encasing part of his legs. After that Bobby fell to the ground in exhaustion from the psychic attack. Kitty rushed over to help him.

"Nice shot" she said.

"You too" he smiled between groans.

The other mutants who had been watching seemed frozen from doing any action and were very confused.

"What's going on" Tabs whispered. "What do we do?"

"Who knows" Angelo shrugged.

"I know" the boss's voice rang through their heads. "Eliminate them" he ordered them and the faces of Spyke, Angelo, Tabitha, and Ray, suddenly lost emotion as they closed in on Bobby and Kitty. Angelo spread his skin out over them as Ray played with electricity in his hand, Tabitha made some bombs, and Spyke sharpened a bone spike.

The cloaked man watched with pleasure as he controlled the children like puppets and didn't notice what was behind him.

Remy glared at him. "That's it this ends" he said and reached into his pocket and charged a card. "Heads up" he said as he launched the card right at his bosses' head.

"Ahh my head" the cloaked man yelled as he clenched the back of his head in pain. The four young mutants fell down as well as they were snapped out of their trance.

Kitty looked over Bobby when her head felt weird. "Wait a minute, my head" she muttered. "Wait I remember everything now, it all makes sense" she said.

Angelo slowly got up. "Oh my head, where am I, what am I doing here?" he asked.

"Yeah what's the deal" Tabitha asked. "What is this place, and who are you people?"

"How did I get here, last thing I remember I was in bed?" Spyke added.

"Does anyone know what's going on" Ray asked as he looked at all these strangers.

"Yeah don't worry we'll explain everything" Kitty smiled. Just as she said this Logan busted into the warehouse with a limping Jubilee in tow. "Including that" she said referring to Logan and his claws.

"What happened here" Logan asked.

"You're a little late Logan" Bobby said. "We've got it sort of under control, all of them are free from whatever was controlling them but they can't remember anything."

Logan nodded. "Yeah and where is that bastard behind it?" he demanded as he looked around.

"What he's right over...." Bobby began to say when he pointed to the corner where all that was left was some shattered ice. "Well he was there."

Logan sniffed. "And he's long gone" he growled.

"What about Remy" Kitty asked. "If it wasn't for him I don't know what would of happened."

"Gone too it seems" Logan explained. "Well we might as well be getting back."

"But what about them" Jubilee asked.

"What do you mean" Angelo asked. "Who are you people?"

"People who can help you" Kitty smiled.

The next day the X-Men had gathered in Xavier's study. The Professor looked at all of his students and smiled. "I gathered you here today to congratulate each of you on the successes you had in bringing more mutants into our safe haven" he said.

"But" Jean asked.

"Yes Jean there is a but" Xavier nodded. "The events we faced yesterday I fear are only the beginning" he said. "We shall face greater intolerance as we go on and grow" he said. As he said that Rogue put a gloved hand on Kurt's shoulder and the others looked at him and showed their support after his ideal the day before. "And I fear that the mysterious force we dealt with yesterday is just the beginning of something so strong we might not even be able to comprehend" he sighed.
