I'd really screwed up. I tried not to think about it, to put it to the back of my mind, but I failed. If Leslie had heard my thoughts, she didn't say so. She didn't say anything actually. At least, she didn't say anything until our car was stopped by a X-men vehicle.
"Leslie, get out of the car!" Laura shouted at her. She sat silently as they called out to her. Suddenly, Kurt was in the car, taking hold of her. I reached for my lighter, only to find that it was gone.
"Crap it!" I shouted, watching a puff off smoke appear to watch is disperse, leaving an empty seat. I heard screams from the X-men.
"Everybody, get out!" Logan shouted. The car was on fire. I smirked, she was sneakier than I'd anticipated.
"Johnny," Logan said, approaching the car. I got out quickly.
"Logan...Long time, no see." I replied.
"What does Magneto want with Leslie?" he asked.
"The question isn't why does Magneto want Leslie, it's why do you want her?"
"That's none of your business kid," he commented angrily, bringing out his claws. The others had their hands full with Leslie until I saw Bobby coming out of the car. I tried to get around Logan, but was unable to. Bobby was going to go straight after Leslie, and then I'd lose her. Without my lighter, I was useless.
"What's the matter, kid?" Logan asked. "Where's your powers? All used up in her?"
"Leslie!" I shouted above the cries of the X-men. "Throw me the lighter." She looked at me for a second, her eyes ablaze, then threw it to me. I lit a flame in my hand and sent it hurtling toward Logan.
"Shoot!" he cried as it burned his flesh. I took another look at Bobby, he was getting closer.
