16.

Scott had not paid any attention to this woman until the moment he saw her lying on the floor of her room. Hank has said that she was fine and

Scott had agreed to stay there waiting for her to wake up. Mystique had tried to get her. Obviously he was not theonly one who wasn´t fitafter

a month of forced "holidays". The idea was conforting. Scott touched the hand of the woman in front of him. Logan had said that she was nice.

Scott was not interested in meeting any more nice women, he was hurting badly for one and he doubted he would ever be strong enough to risk it

again.

She moved her fingers under his. Scott looked at her face, she was having some trouble breathing.

-"Are you okay? Do you want me to call Hank?"- Scott was ready to leave the lab when he felt her finger intertwining with his

-"I´ll be fine"- She whispered, her throath felt raspy-"Where am I?"

-"In the lab"- Scott left his hand where it was- "I am Scott, they call me Cyclops"

-"Hi, Scott"- Wanda blushed when she realised that she was holding the hand of the man that she had found so attractive-"I saw you here the

other night, you were in my place, and I was in yours"

-"I had been out for a while"- he explained-"I was attacked"

-"At least you are alive"- She said trying to get up-"who was that person? He wasn´t Pietro"

-"Her name is Mystique, she can change her appearance, she could look like anyone"- Scott let go of her hand-"How could you knew that

wasn´t Pietro?"

Wanda moved her fingers and felt a great cold after being held by his hand.

-"My brother is the fastest mutant in the world, he would have never stopped to reason with me, he would have arrived and ran away with me.

He is like that, run first, questions later if there are questions at all"

-"Logan could be his best pal"- Scott observed-"Wanda? That is your name, right? The Professor wants to talk to you"

-"Let´s go, I am fine. Can I ask one thing?"- She flirted a little

-"Sure"- Scott was getting nervous around this woman, why was she looking at him like that

-"Why do you sleep with glasses?"- Wanda could not resist her curiosity

-"I have been told that I look better with them on"- Scott joked. Wanda was sure he looked good with anything on.

Logan was trying to obtain some information but mystique was just amusing herself. He extended his claws, she knew he was not going to attack

her in the school.

-"Stop the bravado, Logan, I know that you are happy to see me"- She smirked

-"Where is Magneto?"- Logan asked again, he had lost any trace of patience long time ago-"Where are you hiding Pietro?"

-"You want to meet the Platinum babe? I am afraidhe is not your type"- Mystique answered

-"Magneto, where is he?"- Logan ignored her

-"He is an old man, he must be walking the dog somewhere, Why are you so worried of a poor retired man?"- Mystique was calculating her

options of escape. She was so angry with herself, it was obvious that the period of being ahuman had affected her, she couldn´t believe this

bunch of traitors have been able to capture her.

-"I won´t let you hurt her, you hear me"- Logan warned her-"Magneto is a sad poor old man alright, but he is also the sick leader of that band of

losers you call family, I don´t get it with you, he left you, abandoned you like a piece of waste and here you are fighting his fight. Show some

respect for yourself"

-"At least he has not started killing his own friends or lovers. Why did you do it Logan? She chose the old one-eye?"- Mystique snarled back,

Logan was getting on her nerves-"You are wasting your time here, and you know it. Maybe you are not here for answers"

Logan walked closer to her, a fire of anger in his eyes and his claws in full view

-"What else could you offer?"- Logan asked her

-"More than you have ever dare to dream"- She licked his earlobe ready to play but Logan throw her against the wall

-"I am tired of this game"-Logan exited the room. Storm was there waiting.

-"No luck"- Storm stated

-"Not so far, tell Tin man to watch her"- Logan said

-"Do you think he will be able to manage her?"- Storm was not so sure

-"He is ready"- Logan answered-"How is she?"

-"She will live, Mystique wanted her alive"- Storm told him-"the Professor is talking with her right now"

-"Will he tell her the truth?"- Logan asked

-"He is going to tell her that her brother is with Magneto but not that he is their father"- Storm said-"I know your opinion about this, but Logan

you have to trust the Professor"

-"Even the smartest men can make mistakes, love"- Logan said-"I just hope Chuck is not making one here"

Warren appeared running thought the corridor, Hank and Kitty saw him and surprised decided to follow him. Kurt was the first on to arrive to

Xavier´s office, his appearance was accompanied by his usual smelly cloud.

-"Professor, excuse me for coming unannounced but Warren and I have found something most disturbing in the recordings"- Kurt told Xavier.

Piotr was stading guard on the door, he was tired and wanted to eat something soon. He checked on the small window near the door but there

was no one there. He checked again but he couldn´t see Mystique

-"Damn"- He cursed under his breath. This was his first solo mission and he had already lost his prisoner. He opened the door and saw that near

the floor there was Kitty recovering from a blow in the head.

-"Kitty!"- Colossus kneeled at her side, his face worried for her welfare-"What has happened?"

-"She, I came here to see if everything was fine, I wanted to help you and then I felt this pain, something hit me on the back of the head"- Kitty

was almost crying

-"I will take you with the others, I will find her. I promise"- Piotr help her on her feet and he opened the door but then he felt a pair of hand

grabing his neck so fast he had no time to metal up. A couple of fingers presses here and there and Piotr fell to the ground like a huge sack.

-"Nice dreams, Tovarich"-Kitty´s eyes flashed yellow while she ran away. She moved through the corridors, she wanted to escape but as she

was already there she could try to locate Wanda again. She saw her in her room, but she wasn´t alone. Cyclops was with her.

-"These men do not lose time, romance is dead"-Mystique said to herself. Time to count your losses and make a run for it. She reached the

garage and picked up Warren´s bike.

-"Till next time Wolverine"- She said and started the engine

-"Sooner than you expect, my dear"-Logan put the cigar back in his mouth and started the engine of Scott´s bike, where he had been waiting for

a while, hidden in the shadows.
