When Sandra woke up she quickly ushered Pietro out of her room. She had a lot to do and didn't want to be bothered or have him see what she was going to attempt to do. She was going to try to remove the chip Magneto put in her to control her and hurt her. She was stupid to believe him at first. Trying to remove it could kill her since she wasn't sure exactly where it was but she didn't care anymore.

'I'd rather be dead then in his control.' She thought as she sat down and positioned herself in front of the mirror. She breathed in and out deeply to help her concentrate so she could remove this chip. Several minutes pasted and she was finally able to locate it in her mind. Now came the difficult part, removing it without ruining any part of her brain which would be hard. Sandra had considered going to a doctor but knew she wouldn't be able to trust anyone, not even the x-men. They probably figured out by know what she had done to Scott. 'Hopefully,' she thought he would still be alive and she could rescue him.

Slowly she began the process of moving the chip. It was small which was good but she still had to be careful. Magneto knew what he was doing when he did this. 'Damn he's good and kinda evil too.' She thought. Then finally she had the small chip come out of her right ear and a tiny bit of blood came out to. She looked at herself wondering if anything was damaged but nothing seemed different.

She breathed a sigh of relief. "Now to find Scott." And she left. She remembered Sabertooth saying where he was in the Acolyte's hideout. So she walked through the woods. Till she came to where the Acolyte's where. She didn't go in right away. She stayed outside trying to pinpoint where they were. She saw Pyro outside fooling around with a branch he had lit on fire. She didn't see the others. She decided the back way would be the best way to enter, considering it was closer were Scott was. Sandra tried to be as quiet as possible as she slowly crept to the jail were they were holding Scott. When she saw him and saw he was alive she opened the gates. He jumped back and looked surprised to see her.

"Sandra?'

"Shhh," she said taking his hand and leading him out. She walked with him until they were almost to the mansion.

"You'll be ok to get back by yourself, right?" she asked

"Sandra, come with me. Professor X and the others will keep you safe." Scott told her

"I can't" Sandra said looking down

"Sandra, I understand and I forgive you. Magneto is very manipulative person. Please, just come with me." Scott pleaded

Sandra heisted and looked at Scott. "Not yet, I need to…do some things first but as soon as I can get away, I'll um."

"Just come with me now." Scott said holding out his handing in a welcoming gesture

"Not yet. You need to hurry. I suspect they'll be noticing you're gone." Sandra turned to leave but yelled over her shoulder. "I'll come to the mansion soon, I promise." And then she broke into a run and didn't stop till she reached the Brotherhood.

"Hey," she said to Pietro. "If anything asks I was with you the whole day, Kay?"

"Sandra what…? He started to ask but she shook her head. "I can't tell you but will you just cover for me?"

"Um, yeah."

"Thank you." She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek then went up to her room leaving a very puzzled Pietro. However he wasn't like that for long because moments later a very angry Magneto enered…
