When they finally got back Kat went to Peter's room and knocked on the door. "Yeah," Peter said. "Peter, it's me, Kat, can I come in?" "Yeah, come on in and lay down, it's really late." "I know, and I'm sorry about that." Kat opened the door
and went in. She was in her pajamas because she had changed as soon as she got back. Peter moved over and lifted up the sheets. Kat crawled in next to him and laid her head on his chest. "She wouldn't come back with me." Kat said as she
began to cry. Peter looked at her and kissed her on the head. "I'm sorry," but as he said it he noticed she was already asleep. She must have worn herself out today, he thought to himself. He felt that she was having a nightmare, so he pulled her
closer to him and kissed the top of her head. He could feel her fear start to subside and then he fell asleep himself.
Kat started stirring as she was having a nightmare. Jean was standing next to Magneto and her eyes were black. "Jean, what are you doing? Come home with me, please," Kat screamed to Jean. "Sorry baby girl, but I'm on his side
now. I'm fighting against the cure, no matter the cost, even if it means killing you," "But Jean, you're good, and you're my mom, I know you would never hurt me." "If that's what it takes to stop the cure, I make no guarantees."
"Please, mom, I love you, and I don't want to lose you again." Kat started screaming in her sleep, "Mom, mom, please, don't." Peter woke up and tried to wake up Kat as well. "Kat, Kat, wake up." Kat's eyes opened and she started
crying. She looked up at Peter and he kissed her forehead. "It was only a dream Kat, it's over now, everything's ok." "It was so real. I don't know how much longer I can take it." "Take what?" "Take not having Jean here for me when I need her,
and not having her…just, well, here. She's always been there, since the day I was born. Her presence has always kept me grounded and feeling safe. It's just not the same without her." "We'll get her back Kat, so don't worry. She loves you too
much." They kissed and then went down to the kitchen for breakfast.
Tommy and Kimberly were lying in bed in their room. "Tommy, I'm worried for Kat. With Jean gone, I don't know how long Kat will be able to keep it together. She might lose it soon if we can't get Jean back. Maybe we can get a meeting
with Jean somehow." "We'll see Kim, we'll see." Tommy kissed Kim and pulled her close. Kim's eyes grew huge. "I know how we can contact her!" Kim shot up out of bed in her pajamas and ran to find the professor. "Kim, Kim, wait for me."
Tommy got up and ran after Kimberly, just hoping he could catch up to her before he got lost.
The professor could sense Kim trying to find him, and he knew why she was looking for him. He wasn't sure if it would work or not, but he was willing to try. He sent a message to Kim, Miss. Hart; I'm in my office and have the time to see
you right now. Kim was a little confused, and then she remembered that Prof. X was telepathic and the confusion went away. She ran to his office as fast as she could, with Tommy close behind her. She opened the door and went right in. "I know
why you're here Kimberly, and I'm not sure if it will work or not, but you're welcome to try," Professor Xavier said. "Tommy, why don't you go spend some time with Kat? Get to know her a little better. This is something I have to do by myself,"
Kimberly said. Tommy walked over and kissed her, and then he said, "Ok." He left the office and went to go find Kat, and most likely Peter. The professor turned to Kim, "Now, Miss. Hart, we must go to Cerebro in order to reach Jean."
"What's Cerebro, Professor?" "Cerebro is a machine that connects me to every living creature. And it's how we're going to contact your Aunt Jean." "Ok." The professor and Kim left his office and headed down the hall towards Cerebro in hopes
of convincing Jean to come back to them. While in the hall, Kim turned to the professor. "Professor, is it true what Kat told me, that Jean is our aunt?" "Yes, Miss. Hart, it is. She and your mother were sisters. It's a shame your mother never got
the chance to know." They got to Cerebro and the professor told Kim to come inside with him. "You do want to be the one to speak with her, don't you?" "Yes, I do. It has to be me to convince her." "Ok then, place your hand on my shoulder,
and send her a message with your mind when I tell you that you can." The professor hooked himself up to Cerebro and the room went dark. There were millions of little dots all over. "Woah, this is amazing," Kimberly said as she looked around
her. The professor sat there trying to make a connection with Jean, and finally he did. "Ok, now send her your message." Jean, it's me, Kim. The professor is helping me. You need to come back Jean, if you don't, I don't know what Kat
will do. She cries herself to sleep at night, she has nightmares, and she's starting to make herself physically sick from worrying about you so much. You need to come back. If not for your own good, than for Kat's. Jean heard Kim's
message and was worried about Kat. I don't want to hurt her, or you, Kim. I don't want to hurt anyone. Then Jean was gone. "I'm sorry Miss. Hart; I've lost contact with her." "It's ok Professor, I've done what I can and it wasn't enough."
The professor sensed something was up and contacted Storm. Storm; take Logan, Scott, Peter, Bobby, Rogue, Kitty, and Tinkerbell with you on the jet to Alcatraz Island. You need to stop Magneto before he kills a child mutant, and
countless others. With that Storm gathered everyone and they were off.
