Three Weeks Later

Jean sat in the Rec. room staring out the window enjoying the quite as the sun raised for most everyone was still asleep. The day before the X-Men where all a buzz with the news of the enemy being in the manor for a night and not hurting anything or any one but, the real shock came two days later that paled in comparison of Colossal and Demon.

The news was screaming about the newest murder it was done by a mutant the body of a young man was found rip to pieces parts of his body missing. After that there's was a new murder every three days. The people of the town where living in terror and began to attack any mutant on sight causing riots left and right. This put the Manor on high alert and made all the X-men and newbie's edge for a week no one left the X-manor. Every one was getting to each other smalls fights where breaking out left and right.

Scott had got on Bobby for threatening to freeze over the newest kid called La' Angelic Devon because the newbie was arguing that the mobs wasn't any problem because she had beaten a whole mob when they tried to kill her after the twelfth day of the brutal killings.

Bobby called it pure luck and Whirlwind got angry and yelled Bobby couldn't even take on one person with out help of his team let alone a whole mob. The argument nearly erupted into a full blow fight in the hall way.

Scott was busy playing refereeing because every one was at each other throats but no seemed to listen to him not that was anything new. Rouge was in a really bad mood and wanted to be left alone Remy and Kitty didn't even dare try to talk to her. Rouge wasn't as bad Logan he didn't want see talk to any one or see them if he did talk he was biting some one head off. Jean was troubled by the city for it was on the verge of insanity.

Remy was often found in the den playing solitaire by himself Kitty was could found hand in hand with Kurt his fuzzy blue tail wrapped around her waist like if he let go she be gone. Amara was ears seemed glued on the telephone talking to her worried parents. Bobby had retreated into his room only coming out for meals not saying a word.

The newbie's where going crazy about being locked in for so long Angelic a.k.a Whirlwind was often flying trough the halls making small twisters in rooms sending every thing flying. Scott was all way on her case for it but she ignored him like ever one else did though the she found it amusing to make him mad. On the fourth day Logan caught her flying in the halls and yanked her down out of the air and held by her shirt and whispered lowly "No flying in the building got bub?" Whirlwind and nodded fearfully he let go of her and she fell to the ground and shot a glare at Logan back as he stalked away.

Strom had left before any of this had happened she was need at her home and wouldn't be back for some time. The Professor and Beast where rarely seen they both where working franticly to find if the killer was truly a mutant and if so they had to find the person before the city did the only time any did hear from the Professor is when he called a meeting the day the Press released the a murder was done by a mutant.

-Flash back.-

Kurt baffed into the Rec. room making Scott and Jean break their kiss. Jean flushed red and looked away from the blue teen. "Yes Kurt?" asked Scott still as cool and calm as ever. "Sorry zar a meeting in the war room." He baffed a cloud of sulfur was all that was left. Scott sighed and ran his hand through his brown hair. Jean nodded and kissed his soft lips "We will resume later I hope?" Scott smiled and nodded and took her hand the halls where empty which was eerie for this time of day.

The war room the thick metal doors swished open to show every one sitting bored, the newbie's sat nervously as the Professor and Beast came in. "X-men, I know you saw the newest news report?" The Professor asked his hands laces together in front of him. Every teen exchanged glances a few mumbled no, some shrugged. Logan crossed him arms over his chest. "What this about X?" Professor X sighed "I 'm sorry to say no one is allowed to leave the Manor till things calm down but your studies will not lack for you will take up school here at the manor."

Everyone groaned at the thought Amara began to pout. "Like Why Professor?" asked Kitty as Amara began to mutter to Bobby a few of the new students where kicking one another under the table. "I fear that there had been a murder the press is blaming a mutant which places you in danger there for there will be no leaving. Farther more Mr. McCoy and I will very busy there for Logan is in charge understand?" Some nodded while other gave a small "Yes sir." As they began to process through the information still in shock as they shuffled out in a daze.

-End Flash Back-

Jean sighed and stood up and stretched out her tight muscles. She walked into the dinning room and saw everyone up their hair mussed eyes still full of sleep but their eyes where locked on the TV. "What is going…" The group didn't turn around they all went "SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Jean sighed and crossed her arms huffed.

The TV.

Yet another Mutant killing here today a young man was found in a back ally way torn to pieces the young man is missing his right forearm. The result of the death the man throat was ripped out what to appear to be a dog attack how ever the saliva found on the man's body is mutant DNA. The police are urging people to keep a close watch out for the killer. This is the 7th body found in three weeks and. . . . The screen went black.

"HEY!" everyone turned around to see Logan with the remote. Rouge stood up and put her hands on her hips her emerald eyes flashing with a cold fury. "I dank that we were wacthin the report Wolverine." Logan shrugged his eyes glittering with a look that clearly said do not argue. "Yah stripes you where now your not there no need to watch that thrash."

Everyone went quite there eyes locked on the teen and the most dangerous man of the manor. "Yah know what I'm getting real sick of yah push us around snappin at us for any lil thing cuz your in a BAD FUCKING mood. So leave mah and the rest of us alone till you can pull the stick out your ass!" She hissed angrily. Logan looked shocked then angry his hands balling into fist "Listen here stripes I'm not going to take that from you…" He had been advancing on the pissed off Goth who stood her ground who was now clenching her fist.

"Oh my stars and garters what is going on here?"

Logan turned around to see Hank looking very devilish his eyes wary of what he saw. Rouge unclenched her fists and all of a sudden looked very tired "nothing" she muttered. Hank nodded a troubled look still on the Beast face he gave a small cough. "Well then all of the X-men are need in the war room." Bobby helped Amara up Kurt warped his tail around Kitty and teleported them. Everyone followed Bobby and Amara. Rouge looked at Logan and turned and headed to the war room with out another word. The newbie's looked at Hank silently asking if they should follow.

"No children the only one who needs to come is Angelic." Everyone looked at the newest girl some with envy others just looked shocked. Angelic stood up puzzle but followed Hank tugging on her long curly hair.

Beast saw the nervous look and smile toothy trying to reassure her. Angel just looked at him her fear retreated behind her brown eyes and there it lurked. Hank nearly had to push the normally brash teen into the war room. Everyone sat tensely their somber mood made Angelic pull at her hair again her brown eyes looking from one to another but none would meet her eyes which made her tug at her hair harder.

Angelic nearly pulled a hunk out of her golden locks when Rouge looked at the agitated girl and whisper softly "Stop that hon yah'll hurt yah self." Angelic looked up and blushed nodding as she whispered back "Sorry just nervous I guess." Rouge nodded and looked at the door as it swished open.

Professor X finally came in his eyes had dark bags under them he appeared so much older "X-men I'm sorry for my absent but we found the indeed the rumors are true the killer is in fact a mutant. The discovery still left us baffled for Cerbro was unable to pick up any new mutant in the area. Then a sad idea came to me that the killer is not a new mutant but one we encountered before I pick up on Angel mind a few moments ago however her thoughts are chaotic and plainly insane. I hoped that we where wrong but we can not wait I would rather have her here to discover the truth. I did a scan with Cerbro can not find one clear thought from her all I could tell is she looking for her next kill X-men. Further more I know that you have fought with Angel before but this is no time to under estimate her she is not well. You must hurry Angelic will go with you to give you some kind of cover in Strom's absents."

Logan shook his head glancing at Angelic who nodded. "No X she still to raw with her powers she could get some one killed." Angelic looked at the Professor and stood slowly "I guess I'm all yah'll got?" Charles sadly nodded and said "You will take her Logan I'm warning you X-men Angel is not in her right mind she is very dangerous she won't hesitate to kill any of you. Good luck and Gods speed."
