Quinn had managed to get Rachel's dad to tell her where Rachel transferred to. That is why Quinn was
currently in a cab riding up to the gates of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Quinn walked to the gates and pushed the intercom.

"Hello? How may I help you?"

"Hi, I'm here to see Rachel Berry."

"Who?"

"Her fathers said that she transferred to school here."

"Sorry, but I don't recognize the name." Quinn was pissed. She knew Rachel's dads wouldn't lie to her. Suddenly Quinn felt a tug towards a dark section of woods near her. She immediately ran towards it and as she got closer she gasped and nearly fainted.

Rachel could feel the pain, that was threatening to consume her, lessen as the day went on. It was now just a dull thud in the back of her head. Rachel frowned as it began to increase a little bit. She wanted it to stop. She willed it to stop. Next thing she knew she was outside lying on the ground staring up. She heard a gasp and turned her head to see who it was.

Jean had finished teaching her biology class and was on her way back to the med lab to check on Rachel's condition. She knew what it was like to lose herself to her ability. She knew what it was like to lose her humanity. The Pheonix had taught everyone that lesson. She was able to regain control. She vowed that Rachel wouldn't go through the same thing. She would save the girl.

Jean walked into the med lab and turned on the lights. Her jaw dropped before she ran out of the med lab sending a telepathic message to Xavier, the X-men, and everyone else who knew about Rachel. Rachel is missing everyone split up and search for her. Some take the outside and everyone else, take the mansion. I'll keep this link open. Let me know if you find her.

Jean started searching all the rooms in the lower levels.

Rogue and Kitty had decided they would check outside the gates. They phased through and looked around. They heard the sound of sobbing and ran towards it. Jean we found her. We're in the woods outside the gate.

Quinn ran towards the person lying on the ground. She fell to her knees and scooped the person up. Rachel was stunned but soon responded by wrapping her arms around Quinn and sobbing into her neck. Quinn leaned against the tree behind her and held Rachel whispering apologies.

Rachel had finally begun to calm down. Neither of them was sure how long they had been there. They were content in just sitting there holding onto one another. Quinn stood up with Rachel in her arms. As she started to move forward two girls appeared.

"Put her down," the one with a white streak in her hair said.

"I don't think so." Both girls made to move forward but shirked back at the death glare Quinn sent their way. Anyone who knew Quinn would tell you that you never want to be on the receiving end of one of her glares. Four more people showed up behind the first two. Quinn did not like her odds but she would keep Rachel safe at all costs. She prepared herself for a fight.

Kitty and Rogue walked towards the two girls after they called Jean. They watched as the blonde stood up with Rachel in her arms.

"Put her down," Rogue said.

The blonde looked at them, "I don't think so." Kitty and Rogue took a step forward before they took three back. They were really glad that looks couldn't kill. Because that glare was absolutely terrifying and could easily kill someone. Logan, Storm, Cyclops, and Jean appeared.

"Give Rachel to me. She needs medical treatment," Jean said.

"Hell no, I come to find her and am told by the staff of this school she isn't here. Then I find her lying on the ground in the woods where she proceeds to sob. There is no way I'm letting you take her." Rachel tightened her grip on Quinn. She couldn't figure out why but she did not want Quinn to go anywhere.

Logan growled and stepped forward. At the moment a small stream of light made it through the canopy of the woods. Cyclops put his hand to his goggles. Quinn kissed Rachel's forehead and placed her next to the tree she was previously leaning against. Quinn stood up straight and faced her attackers.

Cyclops took a step forward and suddenly the tendril of light solidified and whipped at him. "Scott stop." Jean yelled out then she cautiously stepped forward. "Its okay sweetie, we don't want to hurt Rachel or you. Come inside with us so I can examine you both and make sure everything is okay. Then we'll explain everything."
