Back at the mansion the team was at a loss at what to do next. Logan was furious at them all. Staring at the Professor sitting there in his chair with all of his precious X-men going over multiple different strategy tactics.

"You said you could help me." Logan growled pacing the floor. "You can't even help yourself." Snorting he must have been crazy to accept their help. Marie was in danger and he was thousands of miles away. Well he'd be damned if he was going to stay here and wait around to see how much worse the X-geeks could fuck things up.

Turning he left the office shrugging his jacket on as he went.

"Logan, Logan wait please let us help you. How do you expect to find her when you don't even know where she is."

Storm was right behind him when he reached the door. In private since the day they had saved him from his attack by Sabertooth she had allowed herself to entertain thoughts about him. He was very attractive in his own way and Storm had been alone for sometime, throwing herself into her work as a teach and training as an X-woman to help her forget the void in her life. A long time ago she had assumed that she would be married with a family by this stage of her life.

Pausing his hand on the door, Logan could see that Storm was smitten with him. Sighing his hand on the door know and he answered her. "The only way to find her…look." Opening the door he was faced with a pale skinned man dripping in sweat.

"I'm looking…" he panted "for Doctor Jean Grey." The man was Senator Kelly.

Kelly had been prisoner to Magneto only days maybe hours, he had lost all since of time and reality. He had been the first test subject to Magneto's machine.

"So Magneto has built a machine to genetically alter DNA?" Scott looked around his fellow team members his brow creasing making his visor ride up on the bridge of his nose slightly as he continued to finish the though silently inside of his mind.

"But he doesn't know that it's unnatural. Senator Kelly's body is rejecting his mutation, its killing him." Jean spoke her fingers laced together nervously watching Logan pacing the floor right back where they had started.

"What I don't understand is what he wants with Marie?" Charles sighed worry lines wrinkling his brow. His normally bright kind eyes were dark with concern.

Suddenly Logan stopped pacing. Realization dawning his features. "He's going to transfer his power to Marie." Looking around the room. "He's going to use Marie to power the machine." Scott finished the thought his eyes boring into Logan's even though no one could actually see the two men's eyes meet as Scott stood up quickly.

Bursting into the room Storm through the doors open wide her hair wind swept fro running all the way to the office. "I know where Magneto took Marie."

Senator Kelly

Leaving the conversation in Jean's office for a moment Storm had decided to check on Mr. Kelly in the med lab, Storm could safely say that she didn't hate human beings she was more afraid of them. It was as simple as that and even as she was afraid of them and with good right she should have hated them, certainly the good Senator Kelly for his work in the licensing of all known mutants but she didn't, she felt sorry for him in the most basic form.

How were humans to begin to believe that mutants were not dangerous that they just wanted to live a normal life like every one else when something like this could happen? Honestly Storm could relate to both mutants and humans in their concerns for all of mutant kind. It was mutants like Magneto who called themselves a brotherhood for the better of mutant kind that were the ones that created all of the hostility from humans against mutants.

"Magneto, he did this to me." Kelly rasped taking Storms hand.

"Don't leave me…just don't seem to want to be alone." Kelly only know was beginning to see that mutants were no different from humans some were good and some were bad.

Storm understood she held his hand wishing there was something more that she could do to help him.

"He's going to kill people and he doesn't even know it, maybe doesn't even care." Kelly said gasping for air. "He told me, he's going to do it tonight at Liberty Is- Is." Kelly's body shivered as it turned to waist completely evaporating.
