Me: How are you! I'm so excited that you come to my THIRD chappie! Yeah : D Anyway, to sum it up, Mystique has Storm if you didn't catch my drift from the second chappie. Reminder: I do accept flames and please, in reviews, please no cussing or any indication of cussing, (and I might do that in every chappie, as annoying as it is. It's annoying to me too, sorry if I am bugging you with the constant reminder.)

Disclaimer: I do not own X-Men (unfortunately), if I did, Storm would be in it more, maybe have her own movie! Well, enjoy the chappie!

Chapter Three: Claustrophobia

"Storm?" They said concerned as they didn't get a response.

Cyclops pointed out, "Well, we know this is definitely Magneto's place with Mystique there."

"What do we do now?" Wolverine asked.

In reply, Cyclops stated the obvious, "We go look for her! What else?" Wolverine sorta growled at Cyclops which made him speed up a little on his way to the jet.


"What is she doing here?" A familiar but not so nice voice asks fiercely.

"I caught her snooping around your club," an empty voice states. 'It has to be Magneto and Mystique,' Storm thought. She opened her eyes but Storm couldn't see. She wasn't in a box, she was just incapable of seeing.

Noticing this, Magneto scolds, "Ah, you're awake. Next time, why don't you ask to be invited before inviting yourself, you tend to be thrown out. Mystique gave you a shot in your neck, it'll blind you. The side effects are unfortunate, though, it's only temporary."

"Where are you taking me?" Storm boldly inquires of the enemies.

Magneto replies, "We're taking you to a lab in a deserted town. We're not gonna test you or anything, my dear. We're just gonna keep you locked up, that way you don't arouse any trouble. And speaking of which, we're there! Oh, I almost forgot, you'll have some company."

"Company?" Storm asks.

"Yes, we took some humans for testing, which will engage tomorrow. We're gonna test the Chaleenstrome, (A/N: it's the first word that popped in my head, nothin' fancy or anything), it's a chemical that I came up with. What it does is after a day in the city's water system, someone is bound to drink it, right? Well, it goes and speeds up the human body, but once everything speeds up, it'll drop all the way down, which will result in positive death. Fortunately, it doesn't harm mutants, which means that we will live in an evolved superior world, Storm! I'm on the verge of figuring out how it can go into a gas form so it can go world-wide, so once I do that, we'll know who the mutants are, because they'll be the only survivors," Magneto explained while having Mystique drag her into the lab. Storm just lets Mystique drag her to her destination, she was just in shock from everything: the club, Mystique, Magneto, Chaleenstrome, his devious plan to make the world a "better place", and the fact that she knew that someone was out looking for her.

Mystique throws Storm into a very small room, only about six feet high and big enough for four people standing. Storm feels around the room, then gulps. She tries to break down the walls and door with wind, lightning, anything she had, (including herself). But nothing worked.

When her vision was restored, she looked around then couldn't take it. She then collapsed on the small area of ground.


"Don't we have some sort of trackingdevice on her or something she would have?" Wolverine asks.

Cyclops replied, "Well, yea, but Magneto most likely took it out by now, I've been checking the readings and it says that she's near the moon. Which means he launched the deviceinto space." They're both in the jet trying to see if they can track her, but, both were so caught upthat they didn't think of Professor Xavier.

'Cyclops, Wolverine. Storm is in an abandoned town, I do believe. It's hard to track her at the moment,' Professor X briefs the two mutants. 'I think Magneto placed her in some sort of small cell thatstrangelywon't let me in just like his helmet. So, I'll give you the coordinates.' (A/N: I know, it's probably not accurate that a small containment cell won't let Charles in, but, I don't want them to find her right away.)

Once they recieve the coordinates they launch the jet and head out on their way to the abandoned town. As they're flying over to her location, they start talking (not fighting, talking).

"What'll happen, do ya think?" Wolverine gets the conversation going.

"I don't know, hopefully nothing harmful. . ." Cyclops answers.

After a long silence, Wolverine starts again, "What aren't ya telling me? What's wrong?"

Cyclops sighs then explains, "Professor X explained that she is in a small cell of some sort, and when he says small, he means small! And, well, Storm has extreme claustrophobia (she actually does), so I'm guessing the results won't be the best."

"Oh," was all Wolverine could say. "So, uh, how did ya first meet her?"

Cyclops laughs a little at their first encounter and starts to tell him, "When Professor X was bringing her in, she was wearing my shirt. . ."

"Your shirt?" Wolverine asks.

"Yea, she, well, uh. . .lost her other one. But that's pretty much how you meet everyone: Professor X brings them in, you say hi, and then you're acquainted. As simple as that. But I do remember quite vividly how my shirt brought out her blue eyes," Cyclops continued.

Wolverine interrupts, "I thought she had brown eyes."

"Well, she was picked on a lot for her name, and her hair, and also her eyes. She walked on with pride though until she burst. She got so angry and depressed at the same time that she caused a tornado to occur, and everyone was afraid of her for a while after that. But they idiotically kept on picking on her, so she got brown contacts and was going to change her hair black. She didn't end up dying her hair, because she didn't want to be ashamed of who she was, she wasn't, she just couldn't take it. Finally, instead of having the weather speak for her, she herself yelled at them, and they backed off. I was there when it happened, and I have to admit, it was pretty cool!" Cyclops goes on. "But, that was right after I was brought to the institute, myself."

As they land the plane Wolverine asks on more question (surprisingly Cylcops doesn't pop), "So you've been her friend for a long time?"

"Not just friend, but best friend, and we kinda run the institute together with Professor Xavier," Cyclops ends his (very long) explanation. "Well, ready to start searching?" Wolverine nods and they both exit the jet and split up to search the broken down buildings.

They both conclude that Storm is in the laboratory since it's the only one standing.


Storm still lay on the ground unconcious. Mystique stands there, looking at her victoriously, "It worked, Magneto. She is claustrophobic."

"Good, at least that'll prevent her from disruption like those lightning bolts. Thank for doing the research, Mystique," Magneto whispered, hoping not to wake up their sleeping "patient". He continues, "You know what to do once we launch the Chaleenstrome." Mystique nods and they both walk away.


Me: Thank you SO MUCH for coming to my third chappie! I hope you like'd it. Please tell me what you think about it through reviews, (please, please, please!) And also, (sorry for the constant annoying reminder) please no cussing or indication of cussing, thank you. And I do accept flames.
