A/N: Here's Chapter 12

Storm and Scott walked into the livingroom, still wet from the rain Strom had created, and saw not only Xavier and Logan but Kitty, Rogue, Bobby, Remy and Peter Rasputain watching the news. On the TV screen was a line of mutants in front of a building. Some were protesting with signs and what not while others just stood in a line that streached from the front door and down the street. An anchor man began to speak about the scene everyone saw althought you could not see him.

"Today, a major pharmacudiacal company has released a drug that suppresses the mutant gene.As you can see, many muties have lined up to get a hold of this drug and yet others protest and say that this drug is taking away the very thing that makes them who they are. I have Mr. Worthington Jr with me to tell us more."

The scene switched from the mutants out side the company to an elderly man with grey hair in a brown suit holding a mic and then he began to speak., "Thank you for having me Robert." Mr. Worthington Jr. said as a young ancherman, that one could only assume was Robert, came into view of the camera, "I am Warren Worthington Jr and I am not only in charge of Worthington Labs but I discovered the drug and am calling it The Cure."

"Mr. Worthington, there are many mutants outside your company as we speak, when will this cure be avalable to the public?"

"As of tomorrow morning, Worthington Labs will open its doors to the public. Any mutant who wishes to get ride of their grotesc mutations and become normal will be able to do that with one simple injection of the Cure into the blood stream."

Storm scrambled for the remote and shut the TV off and said, "They can't do this!"

"Apparently they can Storm." Xavier said and was about to continue when Kitty jumped into the conversation.

"but this isn't fair. We're human just like they are. Why can't they see that?"

"Because they fear us, cher." Remy said answering Kitty, who he found to be attractive but the one he had his eye on was Rogue although she seemed to be taken at the moment.

"They think there's something wrong with us." Rogue said remembering that Worthington Jr had used the word grotesc to describe mutations and then she thought about what Remy had said. It was true the world did fear them because when a mutant lost control of their powers or turned evil they usually hurt innocent people and Rogue couldn't help but wonder if this would actually be a better way to help those mutants who couldn't control their powers or fit in like everyone else could. Then she began thinking about herself and Bobby and how he had been spending a lot of time with Kitty lately. Was he cheating on her? If he was how could she blame him? She couldn't kiss him, touch his face or even hold his hand without gloves and it was all becuase of her mutation. Would she be better off without her powers or could she find someone who would truly love her for who she was? Storm's voice brought Rogue out of her thoughts as she said,

"There's nothing wrong with us, Rogue, with any of us!"

"It is another way of controling us, mutants, Da?" Peter said in her Russian accent.

"Yes, it is Colossus." Xavier said folding his hands thinking.

"Professor, what are we going to do?" Bobby asked and Scott replied with a questuion.

"what can we do about it?"

"We can fight it, just like we fight everything else!"

"I don't know, Strom." Logan said and Storm couldn't believe her ears, "what do you mean you don't know?"

"Storm, there are mutants out there who can't pass as human and are critizized everyday because of what they are. If given the chance they would probably choose to be human so people didn't pick on them anymore. Should we take that chance away from them?"

"Regardless, Logan," Xaiver began, "A man known as Henry McCoy or Beast as some people call him, has notified me that he will be speaking at the Senate this week on behafe of all mutants."

"Talk about having the weight of the world on your shoulders." Logan said sarcastically.

"Indeed Logan. He hopes to persuade the government to stop Worthington Labs."

"Good luck with that." Bobby said.

"So what do we do?" Rogue asked.

"Right now, nothing. Now if you all wouldn't mind, I'd like to speak with Logan alone for a moment."

Everyone ondded and headed for the door and once the door was closed, logan looked at Xavier curiously and asked, "What's going on?"

"Logan, I'm sending you on a mission."

"Like a secret op? You sent everyone out of the room so I can only guess you ain't gonna tell them."

"I will tell them if need be but I hope you will return before I have to do so."

"Where am I going?"

"To the Smokey Mountians of Tennnesse. Magneto is headed there and i want you to spy on him."

"i thought you couldn't track Ol' bucket head?"

"I can't. I've been tracking Pyro with cerebro and as of this morning Pyro was headed to alcatraz."

"And wherever fire boy is, O'l bucket head ain't too far behind but why alcatraz?"

"More than likely recruting mutants. I've tapped into Pyro's mind, something I would never have done if the situation wasn't this bad but I have found where they will go next. Inthe Smokey Mountians of Tennnesse,Magneto is meeting mutants from across the world that support his cause. I believe this to be his army. you will go there and find out exactly what Eric is doing. Logan, I fear that if and when his army attacks it will be far worse yhan anything he has ever done before."
