When Worlds Collide

Chapter 15

Charles Xavier pov

When I had finally got back inside Jean,Max,Logan and Kitty Pride were surrounding me asking me what had happened. After I told them they all looked shocked and Kitty turned invisible from fright. "Professor do you think the people who did this where targeting you on purpose to get to my flock and I?" Max asked.

"I don't know Max, but that could be why."

Jean shot a look at me and Max fell silent. "If we're causing all this trouble we should go." Max said her face expressionless. What she said sounded rehearsed, like she's said it a thousand times. Jean spoke up, "No, you don't have to leave. We'll deal with the threat and you can stay."

That sounded like a good idea. Max shook her head.

"It's not your problem, we've dealt with them before, everyday, for the past four years. Trust me, we can handle it." Max then went upstairs with the rest of the flock.

It sounded like she could handle it just by the she said it. Logan stood there, kinda shocked. Finally he said. "If we can't stop them then the least we could do is help them." he walked to the kitchen and kitty followed. "Logan is right, Charles." Jean said and walked away.

I finally got the flock to meet in my room. Fang, Angel , and Nudge, no problem. Iggy and Gazzy, now that was a different story. I had Fang carry a still sleeping Gazzy, and drag a half asleep Iggy to my room. With a broken hand. "Flock, were putting the nice people around us in danger again. You know what that means." I say as I look around the room at the sad, and sleepy faces. some were also expressionless. "But I don't want to leave! I finally met another telapath, two of them actually! Max please just a bit longer."

As you all know, I can't say no to Angel. But Fang can try. "No Angel, Max said no. We are trying to avoid death in this situation." Angel made a Bambi face. Remember when it was just the eyes, those were good times. Now it's the whole face. At least she didn't morph her face into Bambi.

Fang looked away but he made the mistake of looking at me who just happened to be sitting in front of a mirror that reflected Angel's face. He turned back to our youngest member. "Fine! Three more days! Just stop!" He then blocked her with me and used me as a shield. He tried. I elbowed him in the ribs and he let go of me. Angel was busy dancing around in a circle with nudge chanting. I rushed everyone back to bed. Fan lingered in the hallway. "I tried."

"Why did you pick three?" I ask closing Nudge's door.

"No reason." He said still standing there.

"What? Do you want me to tuck you in to?" I said opening his door. "No I'm good." He kissed me goodnight and closed his door behind him, leaving me in the Hallway. So, I did what anyone does in the middle of the night. I went to the kitchen. I passed that invisible girl, I think her name was Kitty, as I went down the stairs. I went in and grabbed a soda from the fridge. I sat down next to Logan. I have no idea why he was still up but why does it matter.

"You leaving soon?" he asked just as I took a sip. "In three days." I responded. "Something tells me that wasn't your decision." he says as he downs another swig. "Nope. It was fang's. He gave in." I say setting my bottle in front of me. We sat in silence for a while.

"You and that Fang kid..."he says not bothering to finish his sentence before he drinks a bit more. "Fang and I? we go out once in a while, when were not under attack or held captive, or on the run. Once we were in Hawaii..." I smiled at the memory and took another sip. "Why do you ask?" I say looking at him. "He seemed very... protective when I first met him."

That explains the story about how he broke his hand. The story he is refusing to tell me. I finished off my bottle and threw it out. "Night" I said as I walked out. "Night" he said back.

I made my way to my room. Before I could sleep I have to check on everyone. Fang looked up when I opened the door. "Night" I said and closed it softly.

Iggy and Gazzy were out cold. Nudge was turning in her sleep. I opened Angel's door and found the window wide open and Angel gone. I quickly went back to fangs room. "Angels gone." I said softly. He got up and followed me. We need to tell the professor or someone.

I ran into the kitchen with fang on my heels. Logan was still sitting there. "Angel is gone." I said. He stood and took his drink, then followed me and fang out to the main room. We found Jean. "Logan the professor is gone. We found his window wide open. They almost got me too."

"Who Jean? Who took the professor?" Logan asked "Whoever it was took Angel too."

"That's terrible. I don't know who took them."

Someone took my Angel. Someone was going to pay.
