They came for us today. I knew it was coming, even though I was trying to tell myself it wasn't.
"WHITE QUEEN", is the amazingly rich and beautiful lady Emma Frost who I greeted.
After I asked how I could help her, She reponded in two ways. The first way was to say in a bit of an arrogant tone, "Greetings young lady. Charles is expecting me."
The other, more freaky way was by telepathically telling me. "No sudden movements Miss Magma, and try to act natural. But I got some bad news. We're surrounded by a military op wearing cloaking fields. Start leading me back to the house. Try to act natural."
The professor then telepathically spoke to us. "Yes I sense them too. Clever, got brand new state of the art psychic sheilding too. Prevents me from mentally attacking them, but gives away their position. Let me be your eyes, Allison."
Just then several white blurs around the estate grounds, and I could instantly knew why they thought they were military men. They moved with the sort of efficiency I saw in movies and television of Swat teams.
The professor continued, "Now Emma, Allison, as soon as you open the the front door, jump back then attack our invaders understand."
I found the instructions odd, but understood why as soon as I opened the front door and Wolverine launched himself outside like a cannon knocking down two soldiers. Behind him came a burst of Jubilee's fireworks. As the battle was apparently on, I immediatly took my magma form and started throwing balls of volcanic rock. Miss Frost also changed to her other form, to become a being of pure diamond. It was a lengthy battle, and no matter how scary myself and Woverine were, the soldiers didn't seem afraid. These were people specially designed to fight mutants. I took my stand next to Jubilee. She watched my back while I practiced a new technique I was practicing. The technique was throwing balls of volcanic rock, then using terrakinisis to alter their trajectory during flight. It worked to an extent. Eventually the enemy troops fell back.
As soon as we finished the professor called us into the briefing room and Beast picked up the radio equipment from the enemy troops.
The Professor started with, "My studies of Illyana have confirmed my original theory. She exhibits all the signs of a person whos mind has been psychicly ripped from her body. I have used Cerebro to locate her. I found her on the Dimension of the mind known as the Astral Plane. Which is why I have called you here Emma. I wish to join Jean and myself on a mission to the Astral Plane to retieve her."
Storm asked, "How can a non-psychic mutant end up on the Astral plane?"
The professor replied, "I have a theory. I hope to God I'm wrong.
At that moment we heard the X-Jet taking off, and Beast came running into the room. He yelled out, "Professor I tried to stop him! You know how Logan can be."
After we ask him what happened Beast said, "I backward traced the radio equipment of our visitors. Professor, they were getting their orders from the old Weapon X facility. Logan was instantly, understandably angry at this and just took off in the X-jet."
The Professor said, "I know it would probably be safe to send a team after him, but I know Logan, us jetting off to his rescue he would consider an horrendous insult to his skill. Besides, Logan has handled the Weapon X facility before. After we take Jean, Emma, and I go on our mission, if we don't hear from Logan in a day, we will take off for Weapon X."
Well, the psychic trio went on their Astral mission, and I have not left the sickbay where the three psychics are in their trances. Bobby and Jubillee tried to help. After they came in Jubillee said, "Bites doesn't it."
After I asked her to elaborate Bobby said, "We Juniors having to stay behind and do nothing while the seniors fight their battles." I had to nod at that. It was then I realized that I didn't have to do nothing. I had friends.
We talked about unimportant things after that and Bobby produced a deck of card and we played old maid. We had just finished beating Jubillee twice when Storm came in and gave my diary to me so I told Bobby and Jubilee I wanted to write.
OH boy, as I write these words. Ms. Grey, Ms. Frost and young Illyanna are stirring. Why isn't the Professor stirring?
I can hear the X-jet and Cyclops plane arriving back.
I have to, understandably, go.
Later
Allison "Magma" Crestmere
