"Pietro, did you find anything?" asked Wanda upon entering the boarding house.

They had been searching for the past few days for Anya. They knew it was going to be hard, but they didn't think it would be this hard.

"No, still nothing. I went every where." He told her.

"Where is she?" asked Lance. "We searched for her every where."

"I don't think we are going to find her, Yo," Said Toad.

"We have to find her," said Polaris. "She knows something that we all should know."

"What is it?" asked Freddy.

"I don't know, she didn't tell me, but I think Magneto knows."

Soon after that, while they were all resting, they felt a trembling in the house. They didn't know what it was until they looked out the window. There they saw Anya, and standing next to her was the very mutant no one ever thought they would see again, Apocalypse.

They saw him say something to her, and she started to attack the house again. They didn't want to do anything, but the way that she was attacking the house would eventually bring it down. So, they all went out side to try to get her to stop.

"Anya, stop it!" Yelled Wanda, throwing a box at her sister.

"Find the one that we need from this group and come back to the pyramid." Said Apocalypse before he left.

"Yes, sir." Anya replied.

Every one tried to use their powers on her, and they didn't work. All she did was absorb them. She just stood there as they threw one power after another at her. When they finally tired out she lifted her hand; out of it sprang cords that grabbed Polaris. Pietro decided to attack Anya again, but he was thrown back and he hit the wall of the house; all the while Polaris was struggling to get free.

Suddenly, from out of nowhere, Sabertooth jumped and tackled Anya. It took her down, but only for a few minutes. The brotherhood now realized that the acolytes were there. They all tried to take her down, but she did the same thing that she did to the brotherhood. When they were all too tired to do anything against her, she picked up Polaris and left to the yells of Magneto.

"She was being controlled." Said Pietro as they all got inside the house.

"Do you know who was controlling her?" asked Magneto.

"It was Apocalypse." Replied Wanda. "He told her to take Polaris to Egypt."

"Damn," said Magneto. "I think I know what is going on. I have to go see Charles Xavier. I will be back."

"Anya, how many others are still out there?" asked Apocalypse.

"3," she replied.

Once Anya had Polaris, she went to where her master was. It was his mind control that was keeping her in line; it also stopped her from attacking him. He was able to take control of all of her powers and instruct her in using them when he wanted. It meant that if he ever let her go, she would be in real danger.

"Find the next one in succession." He told her.

"Yes, master." She replied.

He then walked into a different room. He did this so that she could see who it was, with out trying to block him out. There was always a chance that he could interfere with her visions. Everything had to go smoothly, other wise she would loose everything.

Back at the X-mansion, Xavier was talking to Angel. Angel had gone there when Anya had never gone back to the museum after talking to her family. Xavier told him that whatever she was doing, she had a good reason, and that Angel shouldn't worry about her. Angel didn't understand what he meant, but he left anyway.

He wasn't the only one worried about her. Magneto just arrived at the mansion because of what he saw happen. He wanted to know what was going on, and why Apocalypse was taking specific mutants. Xavier told him that the only person who knew anything that was happening as Anya.

"But," said Magneto. "She wouldn't even tell me what was going on when I had her with me."

"Eric, you had her locked up in a room, what did you expect from her?" he asked him.

"I don't know. I just didn't think that she was actually hearing those voices that she talked about."

"No one did. She was the only one that could hear them. That was the reason that no one believed her. I think that she started to loose confidence in herself. Her powers were starting to get out of her control."

"What do you mean?"

"She was coming here for help once a week. She was having a hard time with her telepathy and the visions that she was used to getting were coming more frequently."

"Why didn't she come to me?"

"Eric," said Charles, rubbing his head. "She doesn't trust you as well as you think she does. There are reasons that she doesn't come into town as often as you would like."

"She is hiding something from me, isn't she?"

"She hides a lot of things from you. She would tell you what happens in her life, but when she looks into the future, she can see how you would react. She doesn't want what she sees to happen."

"I have tried to give her a normal life. As normal as I could have given her anyway."

"But that wasn't enough. She needed you after her mother's death, her powers were starting to go out of control then, and you did nothing."

"What was I supposed to do? I didn't know that her powers even started until she set the apartment that we were living in on fire."

"But she did get her brother and sister out. You should have been proud of her for doing that."

"I was, but what she did after that was inexcusable."

Professor Xavier looked at his old friend. He knew that he still blamed Anya for staying in the fire, and getting hurt. She was just trying to get out, but the flames had spread to where she couldn't. When the firemen got there, she had inhaled so much smoke that the doctors at the hospital didn't know what to do. All they said was that they had to wait.

"Charles, I was just trying to protect her." Magneto said.

"And what happened?" asked Xavier.

Magneto looked at him with disdain. He knew what happened, but he didn't want to say it. He knew that if he said it, then he would remember what happened.

"Eric, she found out what they were trying to do to her before anyone else did."

It was true. Anya found out that the doctors were poisoning her, just to keep her in the hospital. Everyday, when Magneto and the professor would come to see her, they would ask her how she was feeling. They would always get the same answer before she passed out, and it was always one word: pain. They didn't know why, but they wanted to help her. One day, while the professor was in the room alone with her, he asked her the same question; but instead of just saying the word pain, she pointed up to the IV that was in her arm. After that professor Xavier grabbed a siring, took a sample of the liquid, and went home to study it. When he got the results, he called Eric and told him that he needed to get her out of there as soon as possible. After that experience, Anya had been scared of hospitals and doctors, and there was nothing any one could say or do to help her realize that they were there to help people. She just felt that she was going to get the same treatment from others.

"What can I do now?" asked Magneto.

"I don't know. There is always a chance that any number of telepaths could break through the hold that Apocalypse has on her." The professor told him.

"Then we must do it. I just want my daughter back."

"I must warn you though. If we do it, there is a high chance of brain damage."

"What do you mean?"

"With as many telepaths that might be needed for this, there is a chance that it could hurt her in the long run."

"I can't take that chance. If she might get hurt, then it can't be done. I love my daughter. I know I don't show it, but I love all my children."

"I know, old friend, I know. I just have to ask, why you do this. They are your children, not soldiers. They should have been able to live normal lives until their powers showed up."

"I didn't know what to do. After my wife died…"

"You were left alone, a single father; but did you ever realize what effect that it might have had on the children."

"I have thought about that every day."

Once they were finished with that conversation, Magneto left to go find mastermind and Charles went to call another telepath that he knew. He also wanted to tell Jean what was going on. The more telepaths that they had would be better, but then again what would Magneto do to all of the telepaths if she got brain damage.

Another thing is how Warren would feel if he found out she had brain damage. Charles still didn't have the heart to tell him that she under the control of Apocalypse. He could tell that Warren cared about her. Warren was the one to tell her to come to the institute. He wasn't sure that Anya told Warren about her father. She didn't want any one to know that she was related to him.

Warren was worried. Anya had never been gone this long before. When ever she had some family business, she would always be back before midnight. What he thought was weird was that when ever he would ask her about her past, she would always change the subject. He didn't think that family was a big deal, but the way that she would always change the subject made him think otherwise.

'Where are you Anya?' Warren asked himself. 'Why haven't you called, or sent any message to tell me that you are ok?'

If she didn't call soon, he would go looking for her himself.

There you go. Please tell me what you think of it. Thanks.
