Stryker sighed. "Fine... it's not like you're going to tell someone anyways, since you're locked up in here. I need your powers to create energy for my machine that I have created."

Ororo nodded lightly. "What does it do?"

Stryker grinned. "It'll kill all mutants on the planet."

Ororo felt fear run through her. "You can't do that... you don't have the power to do that. Even with me, you won't be able to accomplish that goal."

"Actually, that's where you're wrong, Ororo." Stryker got up and began to pace around the room. "You have powers... ancient powers that I have been waiting for for twenty years."

"What are you talking about?" Ororo wondered.

He stopped pacing and turned to look at her. "You have the powers of the Phoenix... even stronger than Jean Grey's. Somehow, your original powers became combined with her Phoenix powers."

"What are you doing in here?" A voice suddenly asked him.

Turning around, he saw three people standing in the kitchen doorway. "Who are you?"

"I don't really think that you're in a position to be asking us questions." The eldest man said to Logan, grasping his cellphone in his hand.

"Look, I'm just-" Logan was interrupted by Bobby entering the room, a shocked look on his face, along with Rogue.

"Mom, Dad, Mike, what are you guys doing here?" He asked them.

"Well, last time I checked, I believe that this was still our house." Bobby's Dad answered.

Bobby's Mom sighed. "Bobby, what's going on?"

Bobby sat in the family room, along with Rogue, his parents and Mike. Logan stood a few feet away from them, but was carefully watched by Bobby's father.

"Bobby, what're you doing home from school?" Bobby's mother looked at him. "Did something happen at school?"

Bobby sighed. "Mom, I have to tell you something." Glancing at Rogue, she gave him a soft smile and grasped his hand lightly. "There's something that you don't know about me."

"You know that you can tell us anything, honey." His mom told him.

Sighing once again, Bobby finally spoke. "I'm a mutant."

Bobby's father stared at Bobby. "Excuse me... a what?"

"I'm a mutant." Bobby repeated. "I've been a mutant my whole life."

"But... that's not possible." Bobby's father said softly, and sighed. "You don't even have any... powers."

Bobby sighed as well. "I have powers, I just... I never showed them to you guys. I thought that you guys would hate me."

Bobby's mom smiled sadly. "Bobby, sweetie, we could never hate you. You may just be a little... how do I say... different?"

"Bobby has an amazing gift." Rogue told them.

Grasping his mother's full tea cup, he waited a few moments, and the boiling tea soon turned to ice. Stunned, his mother turned the cup upside down, her hands shaking. The frozen tea plopped out of the cup and onto the plate, clinking around wildly.

"Oh my god." She gasped.

"Mom, Dad, Mike... please don't be afraid. I'm not like those mutants that you see on tv. I stay in a mutant school, and we help people... we save people." Bobby said.

Mike looked at him, confused. "Wait... I thought that you were sent to a religious private school."

Bobby shook his head. "No... that's just what Professor Xavier told you guys because I asked him not to tell you."

"Diane, maybe we should talk about this... privately." Bobby's father whispered to her.

Diane shook her head. "No, Mark." She looked over at Bobby. "We just want you to be happy. And if you're happy with where you are right now, then that's fine with us." Bobby smiled. "Just be careful."

A ring filled the room, and Logan noticed that it was his phone ringing. Taking out, he noticed that it was Jean calling. "Excuse me."

Walking outside into the backyard, Logan answered the phone. "Hello?"

"Logan, it's Jean... where are you guys?" Jean asked him.

"We're at Bobby's parents house." Logan told her. "Where are you guys? Are you still at the school?"

Jean sighed. "Yeah... we have most of the kids with us, but some of them have been taken by whoever-"

"It was Stryker." Logan interrupted her. "He was the one that attacked us."

"Alright, I'll tell the Professor." Jean suddenly remembered what she had to say to Logan. "Um... I don't know how to tell you this, Logan, but... we think that Stryker may have taken Logan. The Professor can't locate her."

"I know." Logan said. "I know that Stryker has her. He obviously needs her for something important, or else he wouldn't have taken her."

Jean thought for a moment. "How did you know who Stryker was?"

"We go back... unfortunately." Logan mumbled.

"Scott and I are coming with the jet... we'll have the Professor locate you." Jean told him. "We'll be there in ten minutes, tops."

Logan nodded. "Okay."

I know that this is a really short chapter, but I promise that the next one will be longer! Please R&R!!!!!
