23.
Mystique jumped and rescued John from where he was. She had never liked the boy too much but he was useful and one of them, so there
was no time to waste. She stared at the sky, the angel was landing with a look of deep pain and suffering on his face.
-"Stop whinning, boy, we need you, take him away"- She shouted at Warren pointing at John
-"Sure"- Warren realized that crying was not going to help so he followed Mystique´s orders and put John in a safe place away from the fight-
"When you wake up man, come and lend us a hand"
Logan sliced the sentinel´s head and extracted a chip, he was in full rage mood but Xavier was talking telepathically with him, trying to sooth his
fury enough in order to make him gather pieces that could shed some light on the robots later on. Colossus was using the discarded arm of a
fallen sentinel to hit another robot. Logan was quite impressed but too busy to praise the kid. He checked on Cyclops and Storm, they were
fighting a couple of robots that were trying to get away and pursue the students to their hidden shelter.
-"They are after the kids, Chuck"- Logan shouted
-"I know"- Charles answered while he concentrated on helping Magneto
-"They have been sent to fetch Leech"- Warren added landing next to Logan
-"How do you know?"- Logan took a second to look at the winged x-man
-"My father"- Warren said-"the sentinels have been programmed to search for Leech and to kill anything that stands in their way"
-"That information could be useful"- Xavier had a plan. If he could make the sentinels believe that Leech was something else, they could stop
them. Xavier looked at Wanda. They were running out of options and she could change probabilities.
Wanda had been trying to help, her power was not very useful when she was drained and Pietro was using all his energy to keep her safe. She
refused to go away to the shelter, she couldn´t bear the idea of leaving Scott there fighting while she waited to know if he had survived or not.
Wanda saw that Xavier was looking at her, she knew what he was asking her to do…..she touched Pietro´s shoulder.
-"Take meto him"- she told her brother
Pietro did as ordered and ran as fast asthe wind with his sister in his arms.
-"I need a hex, the sentinels have to believe they have Leech, but without endangering him."- Xavier explained. –"I know it is difficult, but
youcouldchange probabilities tomake it possible for me to fool them"
-"I can try, but I drained myself before and it didn´t work out"- She wished that she could control her gift better, but wishing was not going to
solve the problem.
-"Just try, we cannot keep this up for much longer"- Magneto told his daugther.
-"The sentinels are in front of the shelter"- Scott shouted, fear on his voice.
One of the huge robots shot a blast aiming for the shelter, Storm managed to deflect it a bit but the fire was too close, Xavier heard the cries of
the kids, some of them have been injured.
-"Kitty!"- Piotr ran to the shelter, his heart racing, if she was dead…he didn´t want to even consider it.
-"Colossus! Stay here, we need you!"- Logan shouted. He was worried sick for Rogue and the others but they have to stop the rest of the
sentinels before it was too late.
-"Wanda"- Pietro said as he saw his sister concentrating and raising her arms, she was getting ready to cast a hex. Pietro knew how painful it
could be for her, specially if she had already casted a hex not so long ago, so he held her while she focused her power on the sentinels.
-"Xavier, it is your turn"- Magneto ordered his old friend
-"I am working on it"- Xavier closed his eyes. His telepathy wasn´t as strong as it used to be but the situation was dramatic enough so he had to
make an special effort.
Kitty helped Jubilee up and check on the other kids around her. Where was Rogue? And Beast? She couldn´t stop the tears running down her
cheeks. Jubilee was cradling her broken arm and trembling like mad. Kitty wanted to comfort her but she knew that there could be other kids
under the tons of rubble and debris. She wasn´t strong enough, she needed help. As if he could read her thoughts, Piotr came running her way.
She smiled as he saw him, just what she was needing. Colossus was so happy to see her that hehugged her, almost leaving her breathless.
-"Good to see you too, but the kids"- Kitty said getting away from him
-"Let me do this"- Colossus started to move the debris surrounding them
Rogue was helping a young blond girl, she had some scratches, but apart from that she seemed to be fine, though she was crying like she was in
great pain. Rogue had no clue why she was in such state.
-"It is okay, everything will be fine, do not worry, the X-men are here"- Rogue trid to sooth her, but the girl was screaming in agony now.
-"What is wrong? Have you gotsome broken bone or something?"- Rogue was carefully helping her, part of her clothes have been destroyed by
the explosion and there was some flesh exposed.
-"She is one of the Cuckoos"- John Allerdyce appeared next to her, he had a bad bruise on his temple, but apart from that he seemed to be
okay
-"The Cuckoos?"- Rogue didn´t remember the girl but she did remember what John had done lately, she was tempted to let him touch her in
revenge for attacking Bobby.
-"If you have paid attention to someone beside that dull boyfriend of yours, you would know them, there are five of them, all telepaths and
connected. They call themselves the five-on-one. She might be fine but surely another one of the sisters is in great pain and this one is sharing it
with her"-John explained. He had lived for years in the school before becoming part of the Brotherhood
-"How can we help her?"- Rogue was mildly impressed, she had forgotten the nice guy John used to be at school, he liked to show off but he
was a decent guy nonetheless.
-"We have to find the other sisters, one of them needs help"- John answered her.
