I know this is a short chapter but I am still trying to figure out how I am going to prepare the next chapters. Thanks for the reviews.!

Kitty sat surfing the net, searching for photos or any kind of article regarding the attack the mansion has suffered, She had watched the TV news with no success and this was starting to get on her nerves.

-"Kitty, I found something"- Piotr throw her a newspaper.

She opened it and started scanning the page, there was an article about the soccer match and something about the latest tax policy but nothing on the attack

-"Where?"- She asked Piotr exasperated

-"Here, wait, I´ll show you"- The Russian opened the newspaper and showed her a small account of an unconfirmed report of an explosion in Westchester.

-"Unconfirmed? Explosion?"-Kitty read bewildered, Piotr felt an urge to hug her but he didn´t move from where he was stading.

-"What were you expecting, sweetheart?"- Jami Madrox was trying to watch a bit of TV-"The only news about mutants that make it to the front page are the ones where we are massacrating humans."

-"We are humans too"- Piotr said angry-"What are you doing here?"

-"Trying to watch Will and Grace, but, obviously, I am not having a lot of luck in that"- Jamie was not intimidated by the huge Russian. He had already fought against him and he was still alive.

-"You should not be here"- Kitty agreed with Piotr-"You are one of them"

-"Not anymore, and for the record, sweetie, I have never ever been one of them, Magneto helped me out of that truck and then Mystique released me from jail. I owed them that but I have paid my debts and I am not interested in killing anyone"-Jamie said

-"You must have done something to end up in that truck in the first place"- Kitty said crossing her arms

-"I used to rob banks, no big deal, I never killed anyone, but you see, the papers used to call me one of the worst mutants alive, they said that I killed thousands in each bank using my power to create duplicates and that each one of my lovely duplicates was a blood-thirsty animal…Just like I told you, they are not interested in us unless they can blame us for some catastrophe. Be grateful that they have not printed that we made the shelter explode killing innocent humans."-Jamie explained them.

-"Madrox, Storm wants to talk to you"- Kurt appeared in the middle of the room.

-"Can she wait till the commercials?"- Jamie asked already knowing the answer. Kurt raised an eyebrow, Jamie shrugged his shoulders-"Okay then, let´s see what the missus wants from me"

Bobby was busy taking care of the younger students, they were all quite shaken after the events of the previous night. Bobby himself was feeling

a bit depressed. Rogue sat next to him but it took him some minutes before he saw her.

-"Hi"- She said-"Are you okay, sugah?"

-"Not really, Rogue, I feel useless, like all these powers that we have are nothing at all"- Bobby answered her-"Whatever we do, they will always hate us"

-"You are starting to worry me, you know that? You sound just like John"- Rogue looked at him with concern on her eyes-"You have always been the optimist, you cannot stop now, we need you, I need you"

-"Rogue, I…"- He didn´t know how to continue the sentence, he was unable to express his fears and doubts. He cared for her, he was certain of that but his love was not as strong as it used to be, this was not the moment for hurting anyone, they needed each other more than ever. Bobby decided that his doubts could wait and hugged her.

-"Rogue, you are right, I am sorry"- He whispered in her ear. She smiled.

The young woman wake up, she had been unconscious after the last electrical blast the guards had used on her to keep her from moving. A mutant with her power was hard to control but these guards were prepared and knew how to deal with mutants that could walk through walls. Psylocke, shaked her head and tried to focus her sight to find out where they have taken her this time. Since the battle in Alcatraz were she has survived Phoenix deadly blasts thanks to her ability to appear and disappear crossing walls and being intangible, she has been a prisoner of Trask special forces. Phoenix blast has altered her powers in an unexpected way, she could not do what she used to and now her mind was often full of what other personwere thinking. It was a most unpleasant feeling, specially since she was the only female surrounded by disgusting soldiers who ogle at her. She tried to move her leg but a soldier came a bit closer ready to give her another electrical surprise if she moved one more centimeter. Psylocke wished she had died with Archlight and the others back in Alcatraz. She has been like this for a whole month and she doubted she could stand it any longer.

(I know Psylocke´s powers are not the same as Kitty´s but in X3 she did have this power, I know it is lame but I will change her on the fic so she could use her real powers)
