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."
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."
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."
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."
Rogue, Logan and Bobby stood there in shock of what was happening.
"What the hell is going on, Logan?" Rogue asked him.
Shut up, you disgusting mutant! All of you, down on the ground!" A nearby policeman yelled.
Bobby and Rogue slowly lowered to the ground, their hands still behind their heads. Logan was the only person still standing. Logan could hear the faraway sound of a jet landing, and he immediately knew that it was the Blackbird. As the jet sounds died down, he could see Jean flying above the trees, her telekinesis holding her up. Logan's eyes moved over to the policemen still surrounding them.
"Get down!" One policeman yelled at him.
Logan could see the policeman's hands shaking lightly and fear evident in his eyes. The policeman was scared of him. He was scared of mutants.
A furious shout was directed at Logan. "Get down on the ground, you damn idiot, or I'll shoot you!"
"Logan, get down!" Rogue screamed, but Logan ignored her.
"Put the knives away and no one will get hurt." One of the policeman said, talking about Logan's claws.
Logan looked down at his hands and then back up at the policeman. "I can't."
He could tell that they were getting angry. "I'm going to say it one more time. Put... down... the knives."
No answer came from Logan, and seconds later, a shot resounded from the gun that was pointed at Logan. Logan's body crumpled to the ground, right next to Rogue and Bobby.
"Logan!" Rogue cried out.
She was about to get up, but immediately went back down when she saw the glares coming from the policemen. A gust of wind hit her, and she looked up to see the skies darken. Rogue immediately knew who it was. Ororo?! How is it possible?
Meanwhile, Jean was floating above the air, watching the scene coming from below. She could see Logan arguing with one of the policemen. God, Logan, why do you have to be so stubborn?!
Jean sighed. I need to get down there, they're going to-
Her thoughts were immediately cut off by the faint sound of a gun shot. She immediately looked below to see Logan crumple to the ground. "Oh my god."
Jean could feel the winds beginning to pick up and she could see the skies begin to darken. "Ororo... where are you?"
Ororo glared at the blue form in front of her. "Mystique."
"Well, I guess no introducing is needed." Stryker said, grinning.
"We've... bumped into each other a couple of times." Mystique told him.
Stryker nodded and turned to Ororo. "Mystique is my new assistant."
Ororo's eyes narrowed. "Hmm... what happened to Erik? I thought that you were always going to stick with him."
Mystique shook her head. "He... bored me."
"Well, I guess I will leave you two alone to talk." Stryker said, but turned to Mystique. "Where is the syringe?"
Mystique whipped out a syringe filled with a clear liquid. "Right here."
Grabbing Ororo's arm, Mystique injected the liquid into Ororo. Nodding, Stryker walked away and exited the room. Noticing that he was gone, Mystique took the syringe out of Ororo's arm and took a ring of keys out. "We need to get you out of here."
"What are you doing?" Ororo asked her, confused.
Mystique placed one of the keys in the lock and turned it, unlocking her cell. "Stryker is going to steal your powers and kill every mutant on the planet."
Ororo nodded. "Yeah, I kind of figured that out already... what did you put in me?"
"Nothing." Mystique held up the syring and the liquid squirted out of it. "It's water. I had to trick Stryker."
"Why are you helping me?" Ororo wondered. "We're enemies."
Mystique grinned. "Hey... I'm not exactly in the mood to be killed. That's why I became Stryker's assistant. Erik told me to go undercover." She sighed. "So, if it means that I have to help you guys out, then fine."
Ororo stood up and began to follow Mystique through the room of cells. "Thanks."
"No problem." Mystique said to her.
Suddenly a guard entered the room and saw Mystique and Ororo together.
"What the hell are you doing?" He asked suspiciously.
"Shut up." Mystique ordered. "I'm just talking her to a different room. Stryker's orders."
The guard nodded and walked the other way and out of the room. When he finally left, Mystique and Ororo began making their way out of the room.
"We have to get out of here, quick." Mystique said.
You will find out later how the weather changed and stuff and how they knew that it was Ororo. Hope you liked it! Sorry that it was so late, but my computer crashed again so I had to get a new one. And that took a while because I had to wait until my birthday. So please R&R!
