Chapter 7: Danger is a lot closer to home

"Oh my god, Logan!" Jean yelled as he hit the ground, his eyes rolled back to face the inside of his head.

"Jean… what happened?" Scott asked rushing to her side. "Is that Logan? Jean what happened here?" behind him stood four kids.

"I… I don't know… one minute he was fine and talking, the next… sob" Jean replied looking down at the unconscious Logan, as tears weld up in her eyes.

"Oh, Jean." Scott replied as he pulled her into his arms.

"I'll take Logan back to the hospital wing." Storm offered quietly, and in return she got a small nod from Scott as he led Jean to the elevator.

"Professor Ororo (storm), what should we do?" asked a little boy, as Storm started to drag Wolverine back towards the hospital wing.

"Why don't you go up stairs with Rogue and explain to the professor what has happened?" Storm said as she was about to turn the corner, and open the door to another room.

"Sure we can do that." Rogue replied with a false smile on her face.

"Thanks!" Storm replied as the door closed behind Wolverine.

"Rogue? Why do we have to tell the professor what happened? Wouldn't he already know?" the small boy asked, getting a few nods out of the other children.

"The professor is really weak from… trying to keep us all alive, and not to mention he is trying to find all of you kids that got away to safety." Rogue replied entering the elevator once again. "Come on, let go tell him you're safe."

"Okay!" said the four kids in union as they entered the elevator.

On the second floor

"Jean its okay. Everything well be all right! Just calm down…" Scott said as he sat beside her on the bed in their room. The room trembled, books fell off the shelves, and cloths fell of the hangers. "Jean! Control yourself, the room is shaking."

The room continued shaking, "Sorry Scott. My telepathy seems to be worse off. I can't seem to control it, I hear everything." Jean replied. "I don't know what's wrong, but I know it's something big. I fear that it will only get worse. Stryker wasn't the end."

"Jean…maybe you're just tired. You haven't given yourself time to rest and re-adjust. Your mind is probably still on alert from Stryker's attack. And any way the professor and Kurt went to see the president, to explain the situation. I'm sure the president will want to avoid a civil war or if it gets worse a world war between mutants and everyone else." Scott replied as he gently scratched Jean's back in a rotating motion trying to calm her down.

"I know Scott, I trust that Professor X will do his best and I'm sure that the president will try to avoid a war, but… I just have this feeling that something isn't right. It also doesn't help having both the world's best and deadliest killers under our roof." Jean replied getting her telepathy under control as she pushed her self off the bed and walked over to her dresser.

"Two of the most deadliest killers? … what are you talking about Jean?" Scott asked in surprise as he rearranged himself into a comfy position on the bed.

"I'm sure you know that Logan is one of the most renowned killers in the last two world wars. And after seeing his memories of his son I'd say that Draghen, as he calls himself now, is just as deadly if not even more." Jean replied as she pulled of her water and sweat soaked shirt over her head, and replaced it with a cool sky blue tank-top.

"You mean that kid that we found is actually Logan's son?" Scott replied, smiling silently to himself.

"Scott do you really have to be thinking about who gets me at a time like this?" jean replied getting a shocked look out of him. "I mean… well what am I supposed to do when your mind is completely open to me? It's not like you try to hide what you are thinking, and besides I can hear everyone's thoughts in the mansion. That is everyone except the professors and Draghen's. Would you rather me lock myself up in a room and concentrate completely on just tying not to pick up other people's brainwaves?"

"I've got a better job for you Jean than that." Replied Professor X as he wheeled himself into the room. "I would like you to contact all the students' parents that there is a parent-teacher interview coming up and all parents are required to attend."

"Professor, I don't think this is a very good idea." Scott replied.

"On the contrary Scott the parents of the student should know, before the government decides to try to reintroduce the mutant registration act, that their children are in fact mutants. We can also open their eyes to abuse by the government towards mutant children like Draghen. Its time to open the eyes of the public and Mutant High will be the ones to open the eyes.


Dragen De Sanglant

SorryI hate this,I have so many different ideas for the story butI don't have any time to write it in. I think I'll have to resort to writing it down on paper and on the weekends whenI don't have alot of h/w or testsI can just type it out and post.
