Here's the next chapter! Do enjoy!

Logan led the way down a maze of hallways, not knowing where Vincent was, his scent was all over the place, he couldn't pinpoint it's exact location, worrying that they wouldn't be able to find him at all. Victor wasn't doing much better than him, he was starting to lose it a little, a million terrible things running through his head. Victor was starting to fear the worse. Logan put a hand on his brother's shoulder, then gave it a squeeze.

"We'll find him," he told his big brother.

"I know, I know," he said, sighing. "i'm just so worried about him. . . . ."

"I'll find him, Victor, I promise," Jean told the older feral.

"Okay, I trust ya, red," Victor said.

Jean closed her eyes and concentrated, looked through all the minds that occupied the base. She looked and looked and looked, concentrating harder, but she wasn't finding anything. She tried picking up his brainwaves, too, tried picking up his thoughts, but with the thousands of staff thinking at the same time, it was very hard for her to.

"I'm having trouble finding him," she sighed, trying even harder.

"You can do it, Jean," Logan said.

She finally picked up on a thought. "I've got him!" she led the way down the hallway, her hand on her temple, following his thoughts. Logan, Victor, Scott, and Jubilee followed after her. Jean finally came to a locked door. She looked to the team and Victor. "Vincent's in here, and there's someone in here."

Victor took a whiff, his eyes widening. "Anna." Victor ran at the door, slamming his shoulder against it, breaking the lock and the door slamming against the wall.

Anna shot right up, from her chair, her lab coat falling from her lap, her eyes wide. "Victor. . . . ."

Victor's eyes were still wide as he saw her, slowly walking to her. "Anna."

"Oh my god, Victor." She couldn't believe it! "You're here, how?! How did you find this place?!"

"I had some help from a few friends," he told her and took her small hand into his large clawed one, holding it gently. "You haven't changed one bit, Anna."

"Neither have you," she looked up at her tall ex husband. "It's been a very very long time."

"Too long," he sighed. "Where is Vincent? I know he's in here."

"Right here." she led him over to the cot where Vincent was resting, going in and out of consciousness. "He's been going in and out of consciousness." Anna was frowning deeply.

"What happened to him?"

"Stryker tried to put him through the procedure," she sniffled a little. "I couldn't do anything about it. He actually died for a few minutes, but then he came back. The procedure failed. His healing couldn't take it at all, he's too young for it. I don't know what Stryker plans to do with him next."

"How long as he been like this?" he went to his son and checked him over, Jean coming over to get a closer look at Vincent, checking him over, too.

"I lost track of the hours," she sighed deeply. "I've just been by his side, keeping an eye on him, making sure that no one else is in here but me. I've missed him so much. . . . ."

"Why haven't' you ever tried leaving this place?" Victor asked.

"You know that it's not that easy, Victor," she said. "You can't just leave this place."

"I did." Victor sat down on another chair.

She sat down too. "You're a mutant," she said. "You forced your way out of this place. So did your brother, but I'm human, I can't get out as easily."

"You're right," he sighed, but then smiled, taking both her hands. "You remember when we first got married?"

"I do," Anna smiled softly. "It was so long ago, but we had to be married in secrete."

"For three years," he smiled. "And that 'mission' we went on that was really our honeymoon."

"Victor, you really knew the best places to go," Anna grinned. "Germany was the most amazing place I've ever been. I couldn't believe that you were so fluent."

"I've got a gift," he smirked, a fang poking out through his lips.

"You do," Anna leaned against him.

Victor then put his arms around Anna and held her close to his side, smiling as he put his nose to her locks, breathing in her scent, missing it. He then looked over to Jean.

"How he doin'?"

Anna looked over too.

"Well, he's not getting worse, but he seems to be okay-"

"Vincent!" Jubilee ran in and went to Vincent's side, her eyes wide with worry. "Is he okay?!"

"Yes," Jean nodded.

"Who is this little Asian girl?" Anna asked as Jubilee turned to her, hearing her.

"One of Vincent's friends, Jubilee." Victor smiled.

"Jubilation Lee," Jubilee smiled. "You can call me Jubilee."

"Nice to meet you." She nodded.

"Okay, let's get going." Scott came in and carefully picked up Vincent, and started heading out, Jean following, and Jubilee, too.

Logan waited at the door for his brother, he was going to wait for him while the others got Vincent to safety, he was also keeping an eye out for any guards too. Victor looked to his old lover, squeezing both her hands.

"Anna please come with me."

Anna looked into Victor's eyes, her heart pounding against her chest. "Victor. . . ." she sighed.
