"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.
"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."
Ororo sat in her cell, humming a tune that her mother used to sing to her. How long had she been in here? Hours, days, weeks? Who knows? It's not like anyone visited her anyways. The only people that ever came to her cell were Stryker and one of his guards with the disgusting food. Ororo refused to eat the food, not knowing what could have been in there. Besides, the smell was horrid.
Her heart jumped as she heard a distant bang, and she immediately stood up. Ororo's eyes darkened as she saw Stryker walk up to her cell with a blue-colored feminine figure that Ororo knew all too well.
"Mystique."
Logan walked back into the room and noticed that the air was filled with uncomfortable tension. "We have to go."
Rogue looked up
at Logan. "Where are we going?"
"Back to the school." Logan slipped his arms through his leather jacket. "Jean is coming with the jet, she'll be here in a couple of minutes." He looked around and noticed that Bobby's brother was no longer there. "Where's your brother?"
Bobby's mom sighed. "He just... needs some time to let all of this sink in, that's all."
Slamming his door shut, Mike, Bobby's brother, stormed over to the phone. Picking it up, he punched in numbers and held the phone up to his ear.
There is no fucking way that I'm going to let Bobby leave. He's a freak... just like the rest of them.
Mike could hear the voice of his mother all the way from downstairs. "He just... needs some time to let all of this sink in, that's all."
He scoffed. Yeah, sure.
"911, what's your emergency?"
"There are mutants in my house and they're threatening my parents. Please send help quick."
After saying goodbye to Bobby's parents, Rogue, Bobby and Logan walked to the front door and opened it to see a sight that they never expected to see.
Sirens blared from the dozens of police cars surrounding the house, their red and blue lights flashing constantly. Policemen gathered around the house, pointing their guns at the three mutants.
Logan groaned. "Fuck."
