Kurt sat up slowly, rubbing his head. He looked around, noting that he was in the living room at his home. How did I get here? He thought to himself. Kurt couldn't remember anything after going into the kitchen back at the institute. He glanced at the coffee table and saw a note addressed to him. It read:
Kurt,
Mission failed. Going back to try again.
–Azazel
Kurt set the note back down, wondering what his father was going to try now.
OoOo
Scott paced in his room. After attempting several times to go back to sleep, he had given up on it. He couldn't believe that the Professor wasn't allowing them to go after those two demons! Who knows what they're doing right now? He thought angrily.
"That's it," Scott mumbled under his breath. "I can't just sit here, I have to do something."
He quickly changed into his uniform and left his room, closing the door quietly behind him.
"Watcha doin'?"
Scott yelped out of surprise and then quieted down instantly, turning around to find Evan staring at him suspiciously.
"I-I was just going to get some water," Scott replied, smiling sheepishly.
"With your uniform on?" Evan countered, raising an eyebrow.
"Alright, alright," Scott sighed. "I'm going after the demons."
"You are?" Evan nearly shouted.
"Yes I am," Scott hissed. "But be quiet, we don't want Wolverine hearing us."
"Okay, okay," Evan said excitedly, "I want in."
OoOo
Ten minutes later, Scott and Evan had found Jean and convinced her to help them. Kitty and Rogue heard them talking and decided that they wanted to come along too.
So, pretty much the whole team was going.
Jean had used Cerebro to track the mutants to a home in New York that wasn't too far from the institute. Now, they were driving over there in Scott's car.
"So, what's the plan?" Rogue asked, sitting in the back seat next to Evan and Kitty.
"Uh," Jean said from the front, sharing an unsure glance with Scott, "Wing it?"
"Really," Rogue replied, rolling her eyes. "That's it?"
"Look," Scott said. "We're just going to talk to them calmly and just . . . you know . . . ask what they want with Mystique."
"And if they aren't calm?" Evan asked.
"Then we have to use force." Scott replied firmly, looking incredibly determined.
Everyone smirked at Scott's seriousness, but said nothing.
OoOo
Kurt jogged on the treadmill, listening to some music. He was on his second mile when his sensitive ears picked up a noise coming from the front door in the living room. He stopped the treadmill and turned the music off and listened again, starting to hear some voices.
Kurt left the small "Gym" room and walked slowly down the hallway that led to the living room. When he got to the end, he peeked around the corner.
Standing in his living room were five teenagers, who Kurt had never seen before. Actually, they did seem vaguely familiar to him, but Kurt couldn't quite place their faces. As soon as he looked at a girl with white bangs, though, he suddenly remembered. That's right . . . They're from the institute . . . I got knocked out . . . He thought, piecing it all together. Well, they must not be friends then.
"The younger one is here," A girl with red hair said, "But that's all I'm getting."
Time to act. Kurt instantly teleported out into the living room, and before hitting the ground, kicked the girl with white bangs in the stomach, who stumbled backwards and fell to the ground. He then landed on the floor in a crouch and quickly sent his tail in a sweeping motion, which knocked the girl with red hair off her feet.
Kurt turned around and teleported to the opposite side of the room, barely dodging a spike that had been headed his way. A guy with sunglasses sent a red blast at Kurt, but the latter teleported away, landing next to a girl with brown hair.
Kurt attempted to use the same tail technique on her but, for some reason, nothing happened. He frowned and tried to roundhouse kick her. To Kurt's surprise, his foot went right through her.
The girl simply smiled and looked to the girl with red hair, who was just now getting to her feet, "Jean, do it now!"
The girl with red hair concentrated and suddenly Kurt was in the air, unable to move.
"Hey!" He said desperately, attempting to teleport, and finding that he couldn't. "What is this?"
"We don't want to fight," The guy with sunglasses said. "We just want to know why you're looking for Mystique."
"Mystique?" Kurt asked, confused. "Who's that?"
"Don't play dumb, we know—" The guy with sunglasses started.
"Scott, he's telling the truth," The one called Jean said, holding a hand to her head. "He doesn't know anything." She set Kurt down slowly and he quickly backed away from all of them, not used to being around so many people.
"Wait," Kurt mumbled thoughtfully, remembering what his father had said about looking for his mother. Could Mystique be my mom? "Do you-"
Kurt was interrupted by a flash of red smoke by the front door. "Oh, what a lovely surprise," A deep, Russian-accented voice said. His father stepped out of the shadows, followed by a blue woman with red hair. "Company."
And there's chapter three! Please try to review if you can, they make me so happy!
