Next Chapter! Also, there is some cussing in this chapter, so I'm sorry if it offends anybody.
"We were looking for you, Kara." She spoke to the girl.
The girl Storm referred to as 'Kara' gave her a deadly look, and spat out, "How the Hell do you know my name?"
Storm looked shocked. She didn't expect this to be too hard. "I don't want to cause any trouble now, Kara. We just want to talk."
"Yeah, well, any stranger that knows my name doesn't want to 'just talk'. They always want to drag me off to some lab and do those experiments on me." She was looking scared at the thought.
"We're not with any lab of some sort, Kara; in fact we want to protect you from them. I am the headmistress of a fine school, and I was hoping if you would like to accept my invitation. You would have a place to sleep and food on a plate."
Kara moved from one side of the ally to the other, staring them down. "School? What school would take in freaks? You're kidding me. This is just another of your people's stupid plots to get me to go voluntarily. I won't go." She was getting hysteric
"Kara,-"
"Stop calling me that! You don't know me!" the girl looked helpless and close to tears now. Everybody was shifting uneasily as they saw her break down. Storm took a step closer and put a hand on her shoulder. The girl was now crying, barely understandable, between sobs. "Please don't make me go. I really don't want to be a lab rat anymore."
"Shhh. Everything's all right. We won't take you to a lab, I promise you. Like I said before, we want to protect you from them. Please, just let us bring you to our school, where you'll be safe."
Kara just nodded and cried into Storm's shoulder. It was then, when Gambit spoke up.
"Gambit is worried about the Cherie. May Gambit go to this school too?"
"Who are you?" Bobby spoke up.
"Bobby, will you please show Remy to the plane. He is the other student we needed to pick up."
Bobby looked surprised but said nothing. He motioned for him to follow. Kitty, walked with him, while Jubilee stayed behind with Strom.
"Can she walk?" she asked Strom.
"I don't know…Kara?"
Kara looked up, her eyes wet and red, and nodded. They all got up and followed the others up into the jet.

Two men walked down the streets of New Orleans. They wore black and had sunglasses on, despite the sunny weather. They both had headpieces.
"Did you see where she went?" one of the men asked the other.
"No. I think she's hiding from us, with her powers."
"Idiot. She's weak. She can't use her powers right now."
"Well that stuff we gave her is probably wearing out by now." The man checked his watch.
"Still, she can't use much of it. Find her get her back to the lab. You two," He pointed to two men dressed similar, "Go down that street, see if anybody saw her. You three," He pointed to three others, "Check that ally. She's bound to be here somewhere. I want her found now! Move! Move!"
