Sorry I haven't written in a while, my esteemed readers
Loner broke away from Rogue happily and walked back up to Logan.
"What could they do?" Logan asked "Then we could see what faculties they're most likely in."
"Little Grace's powers manifested as she can shapeshift, but she can't control it" Loner told him. "Cindy can manipulate water and silver to extreme levels"
I looked at Loner for the first time. Her hair was dark brown and as I said before her eyes changed colors. She had a slender but steadfast figure and silver streaked a part of her hair like Rogue's except it all fell loose. Trixy lacked the streak but she had everything else except her eyes were a steady unnerving ruby red.
"it was my fault!" Trixy wailed "I was in charge I--"
"No Trixy I shouldn't have left you alone" Loner said, turning and bending down to look her in the eye. "You did the best you could, now do a little more, call Thirteen."
Who was Thirteen?
"Okay"
Suddenly a small black cat appeared in Trixy's arms. What was the point of that?
"I'm sorry Trixy I shouldn't have left you there alone" Loner bent down and stared into the girl's eyes "It was not your fault"
"But--"
"Ah Ah" Loner said sternly.
She turned towards Logan "So are you going to let us in?"
"Yes" Logan said gruffly.
"Thanks...holy shit look out!" Loner grabbed Logan and Trixy and teliported to the side, just as a beam shot past them.
I standing in a good position, didn't have to move.
"Thanks" Logan said. "Okay lets get back now"
"I'll take Trixy and go ahead, Shadowcat had quite a bit of work to do when I last visited her" Loner said calmly, both of them dissapearing with a low meow from the cat.
Loner's view...
Loner made it to X-mansion to see that Kitty and Tildi were fine. Trixy and Tildi sat together in a corner, calmly playing checkers over chips and soda, while Cassandra and Kitty talked about the passed events.
"Really?" Kitty asked in disbelief.
"Yes they should be back in--"
There was a crash. They were home.
Kurt popped into the room. "Hello?"
"Hi Kurt" Kitty said, "Don't try to fill me in I got the whole story from Cassie here"
"Oh" Kurt seemed a bit disappointed.
Kurt's view...
She jumped suddenly "Thats it!"
"Whats it?" I asked stupidly.
"Sorry thinking out loud again, I just think I know where Grace and Cindy are!" She paused for a moment "And a few other mutants, but we'd need help"
She pulled out a piece of paper and a pencil, letting it fly across the page. When she was finished, I saw a sprawl of notes in german. I read them carefully, letting the plan settle. It would work but would Logan want to ask help from a thief?
"Cassie?" Trixy asked, her voice gone strangely metallic.
"Oh no, Trixy!" Loner ran to the other side of the room and embraced a now white and shaking Trixy. What was happening?
Genosha will fall...pain will fill the earth, genosha will fall, sixteen days from now and there will be few survivors.
My heart skipped a beat. That wasn't Trixy's voice but it was Trixy talking.
"It's okay sweetie relax" Cassie said.
Suddenly Trixy's face flushed once more "What did I say this time?" She asked Cassie shakily.
"Terrible things, sweetie, terrible things" Cassie said.
"What's the big deal?" Bobby asked.
"The big deal is that when this happens, whatever comes out of her mouth comes true" Cassie snapped "she can't control it though"
"Oh..." Bobby said.
Cassie cradled Trixy for another moment and then helped her up.
"This day is getting stranger and stranger" I said thoughtfully.
"I second that" Cassie said loudly.
Suddenly I felt something go up my spine. I felt around desprately trying to relieve myself from the itch. Cassie and Logan busted out laughing, what the hell was so funny?
"Trixy I think you've tortured him enough" Cassie said between laughing.
Suddenly the unbearable skin crawling stopped "Fine, it was fun while it lasted"
"What was that?" I asked.
"Trixy can play tricks on the mind, just now she made you feel like your skin was crawling with a very unbearable itch, when there was nothing of the sort" Cassie said calmly "Very funny, but it won't be funny when someone thinks their entire world is on fire or something"
"When I grow up I'm gonna be the trickster!" Trixy said excited.
"That's great Beatrix" Emma Frost walked in "Dream big" she turned towards Cassie "I haven't seen you in a while, and the last time I did see you, you almost killed me"
"Yeah, sorry about that" Cassie said.
"I came in to inform you that we have found no plans about Genosha being destroyed in the computers of the MRD" She said in a no nonsense way "Whatever is supposed to destroy it is not planned or mutants are behind it"
"That would make sense Frost" Cassie said and started to pace.
"Yeah" Logan said "Except for one thing,"
"Why would mutants want to destroy the mutant haven?" Storm stepped up.
"Gambit" Cassie said quietly "No, too predictable, but if given enough money for the MRD..."
"Gambit will do anything for money" Trixy finished bitterly.
"So what do we do now?" I pressed.
"Make a plan" Cassie said simply.
"What a great plan" I said sarcastically.
