Ghost (X-men fanfic)

Chapter 7

Peter POV

I stepped onto the street, with the paper and twinkie in my hands. I looked to my left and saw kids in a car driving in slow motion back to the mansion. I quickly studied them, but none of them were Serene. I let go of the twinkie and it just floated in the air because of the slowed time. I held up the card and looked at it. I was at the address. I dropped it and using my super speed, I rushed through the house. I got to a small corridor. It looked futuristic almost. In front of me was an explosion. I turned around and saw 4 figures. 2 women, a man, and a girl. The girl had pale skin, dark silver hair, and hazel eyes tinted a little bit red.

"Serene," I whispered. But she just stood there, frozen in time. I sighed. I had to get all these people out of here anyway. I cracked my knuckles and got to work.

Serene POV

One minute I was standing just outside Cerebro, and the next I was standing on the lawn outside the mansion. But it wasn't there exactly. It was a pile of rubble and wood. Small fires burned. Then I remembered. When Alex had shot his last beam, it had missed the figures and had gone straight into the generator, or something like that. I looked around and everyone (that I knew of) was here. I had a sigh of relief. But then my heart skipped a beat. And one name popped into my head. Peter. I knew his mutation better than anyone. And this, this was him. I looked towards where Hank was. Someone in silver was standing next to him.

"Peter?" I whispered. He turned and looked at me.

"Serene..." He started. I rushed towards him and hugged him tightly.

"I thought I would never see you again!" I cried. He wrapped his arms around me tightly.

"I told you I would find you." He said. After a few seconds we let go. I looked over to the side to see a yellow car driving down the path. Kurt, Scott, Jean, and Jubilee and got back from the mall. Hank turned to Peter.

"Where did you.." He stuttered.

"I was looking for my sister." He said. "And the professor, I thought he lived here."

"They took him." I whispered. I heard kids whispering. Raven was in her blue form.

"They look up to you." Hank said. "Right now...they need you."

"That's not what they need." Raven said, turning back into her regular form. The yellow car pulled up beside the group and Scott ran out.

"What happened?" He asked. He turned to me. "Where's Alex? Where's my brother!"

"Pretty sure I got everybody." Peter said. A knot had started to form in my stomach.

"Alex was the closest to the blast." I said quietly. Alex rushed over to the rubble of the mansion with Jean behind him. Kurt followed them. Suddenly I heard a helicopter from behind us.

"Please remain calm." A woman's voice said. "Medical assistance is on the way. Please remain calm. Medical assistance is on the way." It continued to repeat those 2 sentences over and over again as it landed on the ground. People stepped out. I suddenly got a shiver down my spine. Something was wrong.

"Peter.." I started to say. "I'll be right back." Using my abilities, I turned invisible. Yes, that is one of my powers, but it was more than that. When I turned invisible, any sort of power or anything that would harm me wouldn't be able to touch me. Like a force field almost.

"Hey!" Moira said waving to the people who had gotten out of the helicopter. "Moira MacTaggert! CIA! Thank god you're here!"

"Wait!" Raven shouted.

"Fire!" One of the men shouted. Suddenly, some sort of energy blast came from the helicopter and knocked everyone out and set them falling to the ground. Except me. I covered my hands over my mouth to prevent myself from screaming. They loaded up Moria, Raven, Peter, and Hank into the helicopter. I followed them to the helicopter and used my power to shift my matter to walk straight into the helicopter carrier. As they closed the door Jean, Scott, and Kurt appeared in the carrier with a mist of blue. I turned my invisibility off.

"What are you doing here?" I asked them.

"Serene what are you doing here!" Jean gasped.

"Trying to save them of course." I hissed. Suddenly all the doors slammed shut and a blue light reflected into the carrier. I felt the helicopter start to lift off the ground.

"Kurt, get us all out of here!" Scott said.

"Uh, I can't!" He said. They looked at me. I tried to turn invisible, but nothing happened. I shook my head.

"When they closed the doors, there came a kind of electrical field." I said.

"It's like Berlin all over again." Kurt added.

"Jean, get inside the pilot's head, don't let them take off!" Scott shouted.

"I can't!" Jean groaned. "I can't reach the pilots, I can't reach anyone."
