Storm knelt in front of the boy spoke softly.
"Child what are you doing here alone? Where is your family?" she inquired.
His face fell into such a sad and scared expression that she had to reach out and grasp his shoulder to comfort him.
"Shh, don't worry we'll help you find them."
He smiled tentatively up at her while Jean knelt beside him as well.
"Did you see anyone else here? A group of teenagers perhaps?" she asked.
The boy shook his head in the negative, earning a sad sigh from Ororo.
"Where did ya find him elf?" Logan asked.
"He walked over to me after I 'ported. I don't know where he came from."
"I say we go back to the Professor and tell him we found nothing. Maybe he can try Cerebro again," Scott stated.
The group looked hesitant but nodded and set off. Storm grabbed the boy's hand to lead him to the jet. She was not prepared for his pull in the other direction. She let out a startled exclamation as he dragged her over to a warehouse. Logan snarled and rushed over to take her back. She stopped him when she saw the desperation in the boy's face and followed him through a broken down door. She yelled out for the others shortly after she went in.
When the X-men rushed into the building they were greeted with the sight of a bunch of children, most looking to be in their early teens, lying on the ground. Scott quickly went and checked their pulses. As he touched the last girl's neck her eyes shot open and her hand grabbed his, bending the fingers until an audible nap was heard.
"Aaugghhh!" Scott cried, cradling his broken hand to his chest.
The girl sat up and scooted back away from the older teen and glared at everyone around her. Many of them had gasped when they got a good look at her, now they stared at her in shock, unsure of what to say. They then looked at the other children harder, their shock just growing.
"What the hell are ya'll starin' at? And why did ya kidnap meh?" she demanded angrily.
The X-Men opened and closed their mouths several times as the sight before them finally settled into the rational part of their minds. Storm was the first to generate something other than a fish out of water.
"Watch your mouth child," she said automatically.
"Hmmph."
Kurt only managed to quietly gasp, "Rogue," as he stared at his sister while she glared at them and their other teammates and enemies slowly stirred to consciousness.
"I'm, uh, I'm going to go tell the Professor what we've discovered," Jean stuttered, slowly stumbling out of the warehouse. Scott followed behind, the daze of their discovery making him forget about his broken fingers.
A/N Not really much to say. I got to break Scott though * evil laugh *.
