(Ten minutes later.)
Kurt turned a corner in the hallway and nearly collided with Andrew. "Hey Kurt, where's everyone gone to? Ororo was doing arts class and everyone suddenly left." Kurt frowned. "Vhat...?"
That was when the Professor's mental message got through.
-Nightcrawler, come to my study immediantly. Bring Andrew.-
-I read you, Professor.-
Kurt made an about-face and began running through the empty hallway, calling "Follow me!" in response to his friend's questions.In the mayhem that ensued, Jesse barely noticed that Kurt was darting around with a dexterity that no normal human could have managed.
Kurt led the youngest Tuck to a dark paneled door and paused. Jesse ran into his shoulder with a mumbled "Sorry," as Kurt opened the door. All questions died on Jesse' lips as he took in the scene before him.
Professor Xavier, Scott, Ororo and Logan were gathered in the room. Scott's eyes were now covered with a red and gold visor, and he was clad in black leather. Ororo and Logan wore identical outfits. Logan's hands dangled at his sides, and three metal spikes extended from each one. Ororo stood at the window, her hands pressed against the glass and her forhead dripping sweat as she concentrated. Jesse looked out the window, and immediantly wished he hadn't.
-What's going on?- he wondered. He stared at Logan's hands, the claws that hung from them.
What had Jesse Tuck gotten himself into?
