"What do you mean you don't know her?" Charles asked Logan.

Currently the Magneto prison break team were staying at the home of one of the schools formers students and a close friend of Charles and Hank, as the latter believed staying in a hotel was too risky. She lived only a 15 minute drive away from the Pentagon itself and her parents were away on business so it was perfect.

"Like I said, I know the name but I've never met her before." The girl in question walked into the kitchen.

"Are you sure you wouldn't like a cup of tea Logan?" She said as she took the whistling kettle off the stove.

"No thanks, but I wouldn't complain if you got me another beer."

She smiled "yeh sure."

After setting the tea cups down for Charles and Hank the girl went back to the fridge, grabbing a beer and two sodas, she shut the door with her foot and delivered the alcoholic beverage to the muscular mutant. Just as the bottle touched the surface she looked up towards the front of the house with a worried expression. The loud rumble of a Harley Davidson motorcycle could be heard outside the house. Suddenly Peter was in the kitchen.

"Hey what's with that dude on the bike staring down your house?"

Her eyes lowered to the floor, "Billy." She said.

"Who's Billy?" Hank asked looking between Charles and their hostess while Logan turned around in the dining chair to look at the girl.

"He's my ex-boyfriend, but he dumped me after finding out I was a mutant."

"What a jerk." Peter spoke up.

"Yeah he is, but he's history, anyway cmon lets go watch a movie."

The silver haired boy grinned and zipped off to the living room while Charles gave her a concerned look.

"It's fine." She assured and followed Peters lead.

Charles looked over to Logan who was deep in thought, which was very unusual for him. "Logan, what is it?"

"I remember now, I remember who ____ is."

Logan got up and went to check the living room to make sure the two teens were still distracted by the TV, and when he returned to the kitchen he continued.

"I remember seeing it on the news at a bar, she's the first mutant hate victim. Shot by her ex-boyfriend after he found out she was a mutant. I couldn't remember it clearly because her story gets overshadowed by Mystique killing Trask. They label it retaliation by the mutant community."

Both Hank and Charles sit there frozen in shock. "Wait! if Raven kills Trask AFTER _____'s murder that means it's going to happen within the next week!" Hank said in realisation.

"Then we'll bring her with us." Logan answered.

"It's too dangerous." Charles countered firmly.

"SO WHAT, YOU WANNA JUST LEAVE HER HERE TO DIE?!" The wolverine raised his voice in anger.

The two arguing noticed Hank looking towards the living room and followed his gaze. Both ____'s and Peter's heads could be seen poking out from around the corner, then the girl stepped out into the open.

""iiiis everything ok?" She asked cautiously.

"Everything is fine. We're sorry for disturbing you." Charles apologised.

______ nodded slowly and dissapeared with Peter back around the wall. "Right now we need to focus on how we're going to get Eric out without causing a commotion."
