Greer heaved a sigh of relief when the bell rung after what felt like an eternity. Picking up her books she dashed out of the classroom. As she placed her books into the locker, she felt someone violently push her in. Before she could run out the locker door slammed shut. "Hey let me out!" Greer ordered angrily. A sickly sweet voice snickered back. "I'm gonna make sure you use your powers... Then I don't have to see you or any of your weirdo friends again!" the voice taunted walking off. Greer though about tearing the steel apart with her claws or breaking the door down with her strength... "No that counts as powers doesn't it? Aghh..." she groaned knowing that if she tried the students would immediately report her to the principal. As much as she wanted to break out... She couldn't mess this up... Not when her education depended on it... Angrily she went back to yelling for help. No one came or more accurately no one wanted to help her... Feeling defeated Greer placed her face in her hands and collapsed in a heap. "WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE BEING SUCH JERKS? WHY?! LET ME OUT! DAMN IT!" Greer screamed angrily. She had to get out. She couldn't stand tight places, it made her feel like the animal she was supposed to be, no worse, the caged animal she was supposed to be... "Let me out..." she pleaded weakly it was like the walls were closing in on her. Like they were going to crush her... She couldn't breathe...she couldn't... "Greer?" a voice answered. Greer's eyes flashed open. "Rouge please get me out!" "Ok, hang on a minute! What's your combination?" Greer took a deep breath. She had to keep cool... The combination is 12, 9 ,7" The door swung open. "You ok?" Rouge asked helping Greer up. "Yeah... I'm ok..." Greer shuddered. "I'm ok..."
"Must we?" Kitty asked as the team excited Scott's car. Greer rolled her eyes. "C'mon after today? What's the worse that can happen?" she joked. "With our luck, don't even go there man..." Evan warned. All of a sudden Duncan's car pulled up violently in front of them, blocking the team from entering the lecture hall. "Hey Summers! We have some unfinished business..." Duncan sneered getting out of the car. "Oh brother...Give the macho act a rest will ya?" Kitty groaned sarcastically. Ignoring her, Duncan continued. "The rest of you go on in inside, this is between me, and him... Man to man..." Greer bared her teeth. "Who says we're listening to you..." she sneered. "Yeah! So we're not going anywhere..." Evan announced bravely staring Duncan straight in the face. To their surprise, Duncan didn't back off instead he smiled. "I figured as much..." he snickered. Bringing his fingers to his mouth, he whistled. Almost immediately the brotherhood appeared from behind him. "Well lookee here...Mutant face off..." Toad grinned. "Only we ain't afraid to use our powers..." Blob snickered stupidly. To prove his point, he dented the boot of a nearby vehicle. "So guess what happens now..." Lance taunted. "Remember...No powers!" Scott yelled as he tensed up. Greer bit her tongue; this was going to be difficult...
"This is the real you isn't it?! YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A HOOD!" Kitty screamed at Lance angrily. "Um Kitty..." Greer gestured. "Not a good idea to..." Too late, what Kitty said had pissed Lance off. "Right! I'll never be good enough for you!" he yelled. Stepping backwards he raised his arms. Greer stumbled struggling to keep her balance as the ground shook so violently it caused cars to bounce up and down. Not wasting the golden opportunity, Duncan catapulted himself onto Scott sucker punching him constantly while the brotherhood followed in his lead. Greer backed away from an advancing Blob. "It's payback time..." he sneered cracking his knuckles menacingly. "Aghh!" she screamed as Blob threw a car at her. Ducking it, she proceeded to jump at him reminding herself to throw punches instead of slashing at him with her claws. That didn't do her any good. Punching Blob was like punching a brick wall. Blob snickered as he watched Greer massage her bruised fist. Picking her up and socking her so hard she almost blacked out, he proceeded to hurl her with such force she knocked over a lamppost. Ignoring the pain she felt in her body she slowly picked herself up just in time to flip backwards, narrowly avoiding another flying car. Standing up she fell right back down as Lance increased the intensity of his tremors. "That's it! Rock their world!" Toad cheered as the ground split open. Amidst the chaos people were starting to run out of the lecture hall. "Watch out!" Greer screamed at a middle-aged woman as a broken telephone pole started to crumble and fall in her direction. Knowing the woman wouldn't make it, Greer launched herself in the air knocking the woman out of harms way. "Thank...thank you..." the woman stuttered. "HA! Don't thank her yet!" she heard Toad sneer and before Greer could react, Toad's slimy tongue wrapped around her locket. Smiling, he yanked it off her neck. "NO!" Too late, Greer watched in horror as her hologram faltered and disappeared revealing her true form to the whole of the school board. Greer heard mummers of shock and disgust coming from the crowd. Lowering her ears she turned only to see a car being hurled at her and the crowd's direction. "To heck with not using powers..." she growled. Bracing herself, she managed to catch the car and stop it from crushing innocent people. Groaning, she lowered the car gently and joined her team members to watch the brotherhood run off. "Not the impression I was hoping to make..." Jean mumbled. "No kidding..." Greer whistled taking in the collapsed trees, broken vehicles and gushing water pipes. With their heads lowered, the team made their way to Scott's car and the X van. " Well we're screwed...Big time!" Evan announced grumpily plopping down on one of the X van's seats. "Hey look on the bright side...No homework..." Kurt cheered unenthusiastically. "No school sounds great, my inducer was stolen anyway..." Greer groaned as she drove the van out of the destroyed school car park.
