When Worlds Collide

Chapter 17

Max pov

I have made a decision. It was a hard one, but I know it was the better choice in the end. We are staying at the school. The professor said I could join the X-Men if I wanted to, so I did. The rest of the flock will be able to join when they get a little bit older. Fang...well he had decided to leave the school. It was his choice...I asked him and he answered "I'm leaving. I can't stay." Then he walked out of the school not saying another word to me. I might never see him again....or maybe I will. I don't know, but I hope and wish everyday that he will come back.

I had another nightmare last night. Third night in a row. Max sleeps through everything, so she didn't hear me scream. The one that did hear me scream though was the professor. He came in and told me a story and told me that the nightmares will go away. Somehow I know he is hiding something from me....I wonder if my dream aren't dreams, but actually real? I will find out one way or another. The professor is teaching me more about my telepathic powers each day and I always can't wait to tell and show Max what I had learned. I would show Nudge, but she is to busy playing on her new IPhone 5s she got two days ago. I would show Iggy, but he won't even open the door. He says he is busy making something that I can't see and that he won't open the door to his room till he is completely finished. Well I hope he is done soon! I would show my brother, Gazzy, but he just says he is busy playing with some new kid he met who can change his appearance and Fang is gone so here I am practicing my new abilities alone. I'm so bored. I hear a knock on my door which makes me drop this book I was trying to move with my mind. It still won't budge and I have tried all day. I asked the professor why he can't levitate things. He just said that some telepath's can do different things. I finally got up and opened the door. There standing at my door was Max. "Hi! What's up Max?" I said. "I have to go on a mission with the X-men. I told Logan to watch over all of you guys while I'm gone ok?" she asked. "k." I mumbled back. To be honest I am really scared of Logan. I have seen that guys claws...and there HUGE! Max finally responded saying "I will see you later Angel bug. Stay safe. And Angel?" she asked. "Yes I know...don't do anything dumb like possessing Iggy so he will make me cupcakes." I stated. I have heard this speech so many times. So Max leaves and I shut the door. I wonder where their going? Maybe London because some huge bug eyed monsters are running around town making a mess...or maybe Florida because Magneto escaped from the underground prison Charles put him in? I don't know. I saw Florida and London in my nightmares. Max always says I have an imaginative mind.

"Come on everyone lets get in the jet we have to get to Florida in the next hour!" I said. "Why Florida?" Max asked me. "Magneto. He escaped and it's all my fault. I shouldn't have been so daft to put him in that prison I should have kept him at the school and kept guard over him myself." I said. How do you know Magneto escaped if their hasn't been anything on the news yet?" Max asked. "Angel. She has been having nightmares for the past three nights about Florida, Magneto and London. I don't know why she would have a nightmare about London, but I think she is having vision nightmares." I told her. She stared at me for a while then said "One, why didn't you tell me about the nightmares? Two you think Angel is having visions about Magneto? And Three, London?" she asked me. "First, because I didn't think it was necessary to wake you at three in the morning. Second, Yes that is what I already said. Third I don't know why, but yes." I said bored. "Ok..." and she just drifted off not completing her sentence. Angel's telepathic powers are progressing very fast. I hope that soon they will slow down. If not the same thing that almost happened to Jean will happen to her. I just can't get up the courage to tell Max that right now. I will save it for a side note when I'm talking to her sometime. "Charles?" Jean yelled from the front of the jet. "Yes." I said. "You where correct about Magneto. The place prison cell where he was in has been destroyed and the facility says he has escaped and they can't find him." she said. Great, my suspicions about Angel were right. "One other thing Charles. The place where I was going to land. Well it just got bombed. I can't land here. The nearest one is an hour away at least. Unless Magneto decided to bomb that one too!" she said. "Fine. Now let's get to that new site as fast as possible alright Jean?" I said. "Ok." she said back to me. Another hour till we land. Another hour till I can find Magneto and punch him in the face for doing this. He is the one that put me in this wheelchair. He isn't getting away so easily this time.

(One hour later) (still Charles pov)

We arrived at the landing site. Thankfully Magneto didn't bomb this one. Magneto really likes bombs for some reason. He did leave us a gift though. And by gift I mean 50 guys in suits attacking us as soon as we landed. Lovely. I mentally made half of them attack the other half. I wish there was some other way. Once that was done we we walked/wheeled for 2 hours In the woods till we got to a base that I found out about by reading one of the men that we "fought". We where about to blow the door off so we could get in, but I saw something metal out of the corner of my eye an at the last second ducked. I was 2 out of the 5 people in our group who saw it. So 3 were unconscious from the metal pole that hit them and Hank and I were the very lucky ones that saw it coming. Magneto walked up to me and said. "Good job Charles. I didn't think you would see that one coming." He said. "I may not have sensed it, but my eyes did see it. You know me...always being aware of my surroundings." I said. "Soon you won't even be able to do a thing about escaping. With that I saw Hank fall to the ground. Thankfully I could sense him still breathing. Then I saw stars in my eyes and blackness. I heard what sounded like a voice miles away say "Professor." I felt myself fall out of my wheelchair and hit the ground, not unconscious, but just where I was awake, but couldn't move. I felt myself being dragged into some dark area that smelled like a mixture of wet grass and honey I think? Oh well. I'm alive and so is the rest of the crew. Soon I was able to move my head and arms again. I heard Jean moan and wake up from what seem like a 3 hour nap. I have lost track of time in this dark cell. Jean came over to me and helped me sit up. Magneto probably destroyed my wheelchair. He knew that was my only transport. Without that I have no way out of here. We are stuck. Without supplies, a wheelchair, and a phone. Magneto had gotten us for once. We had been playing his game for who knows how long. I'm guessing since I put him away under 100 plus floors of dirt and concrete. But I'm not sure anymore. Now we need a way out of here. And I still have a few tricks that I know of that Magneto doesn't.
