"What the hell was that?" Rogue cried as Bobby sped away from the club.
The car was silent for a minute before the others got their voices back.
"I don't know." Bobby whispered and John shook his head indicating that he didn't have any idea either.
Everyone, minus a still unconscious Kitty, was silent in shock for the remainder of the drive to the mansion.
Bobby didn't bother to properly park the car in the garage, instead he parked it in the middle of the entrance courtyard. John and Bobby carried Kitty into the mansion while Rogue held the doors and Sophia ran ahead for the nurse. John, Bobby and Rouge made their way into the living room and gently set Kitty down on the large blue couch.
"Who...What..." John mumbled.
Rogue shook her head. "What's going on?"
"We gotta go to Storm... Or Logan... Somebody..." Bobby rambled.
Sophia ran back into the room just then, closely followed by nurse Annie Ghazikhanian, who had a black medical bag in her hand.
"Oh my." Annie gasped and she immediately began to tend to Kitty's head wound. "What happened?" She asked as she dabbed at the gash with a piece of gauze.
"We were just coming out of the club and a man and a woman attacked us!" John cried.
"No, first the scenery changed. It was pretty. Nice." Sophia remembered. She hesitated before adding, "And I saw my step-dad."
John glanced at her, noticing that she had gone pale. The words slipped out of his mouth before he could stop them. "I saw Magneto."
Rogue and Bobby looked at each other cautiously before Rogue spoke, her voice wavering slightly when she did. "I saw Cody Robbins."
All eyes turned to Bobby. "My brother." He whispered. All were deep in thought when Storm ran in the room, clad only in her pajamas.
"Oh my god." She breathed. "What happened?"
"We were attacked." Rogue informed her, a realization hitting her suddenly. She glanced at Sophia, who had the same look on her face that Rogue had.
"By someone who knew what, or who, would make us freak out."
"Your step-dad, my former boss, your brother..." He turned to Rogue. "I have no idea who Cody Robbins is, but I have a feeling your last encounter with him wasn't pleasant."
Rogue nodded. "He was the boy that I put into a coma."
The four students looked at each other and then back to Kitty's still form.
Storm nodded and then ran out of the room, returning a few minutes later with Mystique.
"They were attacked," Storm motioned to the four kids who were still deep in thought. "What do you know?" She demanded more than asked.
"What makes you think I know anything?" Mystique asked, her eyes serious.
"You just happen to come here and they just happen to get attacked not that long after?" Storm hissed, her eyes flashing.
Mystique glared at Storm, but then turned her attention to the kids. "What happened?"
"We were leaving the club and then a man and a woman appeared. It was weird," Bobby explained, "one minute it was dark and cold and the next it was warm and bright."
"Then," John paused, searching for the right words, "people we never thought we'd see again, were there."
"And the man tried to kidnap Kitty." Rogue added.
Mystique's eyes widened slightly. Wanda.
"Who's Wanda?" Sophia asked, shocking herself at how she got that name, her eyes studying Mystique with extreme focus.
Mystique eyed Sophia oddly, sighed and then spoke. "It sounds like Wanda Maximoff."
"Who's that?" Storm asked, her eyes on Sophia, a look of disbelief on her face.
Mystique looked wary, but answered anyway. "She's an old friend of Magneto's. She's a reality warper."
Rogue nodded. "That makes sense."
"What about the man?" John asked.
Mystique shook her head. "It could be Nick Fury. He's a former CIA agent and is one bad son of a bitch."
"Why'd they attack Kitty?" Bobby asked and Mystique shrugged.
"I don't know. I haven't been in contact with Magneto since I got my dose of the cure." Storm looked skeptically at her, prompting Mystique to add, "I swear."
"She's telling the truth." Sophia supplied hesitantly and Storm pursed her lips.
"Fine. I believe you." She ran a hand through her messy hair. "But I'm still curious as to why Magneto tried kidnap Kitty." She sighed and turned her attention to Bobby and John. "Take Kitty down to the infirmary, she'll stay there tonight."
Annie smiled and gathered her materials while John and Bobby grabbed Kitty's arms and legs.
"You," Storm pointed to Sophia and Rogue, "go ahead and head to bed. There's nothing else we can do right now except get some rest."
Sophia nodded and left the living room, Rogue right behind her. Once they were out in the hall, Sophia stopped.
"You go ahead. I'm going to get some water. I'll be right there." Rogue nodded and made her way down the hallway and out of sight.
Sophia waited in the kitchen until she heard footsteps in the hall. She waited until she saw Bobby and John pass the kitchen door before coming out behind them.
"Hey." She said, motioning for John to come back towards her.
"I'll meet you up there." John whispered to Bobby and Bobby smirked slightly.
"Night, Bobby."
"Night, Sophia." Bobby called over his shoulder as he bounded up the stairs.
"What's up?" John asked as he came to stand in front of his friend.
Sophia shifted her weight from one foot to the other and let out a silent breath. "Are you okay?"
John grinned. "Yeah, I'm fine. Are you okay?" He asked, mocking her slightly.
She hit his arm and he smiled. "I'm a little shaken up, but yeah, I'm alright."
John turned towards the kitchen and made his way through the door. "Come." He ordered and Sophia curiously followed. She watched as he made his way to the cupboard and got out a package of cookies. "You need some sugar in you." You might be going into shock.
The corners of her mouth twitched up. "I'm fine. I'm not going into shock."
He froze and slowly turned around. "I didn't say anything about shock."
Oops. She thought, her face contorting to look like that of a guilty child's. "You didn't?" She asked hopefully and John shook his head.
"That's twice tonight." He said to himself and Sophia quickly crossed the room, taking the package of cookies from his hands.
"Twice what?" She asked, deciding to play dumb.
"That you've read someone's mind."
"Oh?" She bit into one of the chocolate chip cookies.
"Don't play dumb." John scolded and she blushed.
She's cute when she blushes.
"Aw, thanks." She smirked.
John's eyes widened. And Sophia giggled.
"You're cute when you get freaked out."
John's eyes narrowed. "You read minds, don't you." It was more of a statement than a question.
She nodded and John scrunched his face up in a 'why didn't I see that' kind of way.
"Sorry, John-boy." Sophia said with a smirk and John shook his head, grinning.
The two ate and made light chatter before deciding to turn in for the night.
"I'll talk to you tomorrow." John said and Sophia nodded.
"Tomorrow." She stood on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek gently. "Good night."
