In Xavier's office, Xavier was telling them about Ally's siblings. "Maybe we can reach them?" Jean said hopefully.
"It sounds like they are not ones to listen." Charles smiled at Jean.
"How can they keep us out?" she asked.
"They all have some telepathic abilities," he looked from person to person. "They are not enemies, they are just looking for their sibling. Let's bring them down easy."
"How they sound pretty powerful, Professor," Scott threw his hand in the air. "Someone is going to get hurt."
"Logan said their brother is pretty reasonable," he smiled. "I am sure the X-men can handle this."
They all smiled at him and his confidence. They all hoped his was right.
Logan walked outside to get a cigar. He looked at the school's manicured lawns and it perfect gardening. 'A father' he chuckle to himself. Somebody would call him 'Dad'. He wanted Sabertooth for what he had done. He felt a hand on his back. Without looking he knew it was Rouge.
"Hey kid," he mumbled.
"Are you going to be okay?"
"Yeah."
"Is she your wife?" she asked quietly.
"No."
"But she is pregnant with your baby?"
"Yeah"
"You are sure it's yours?"
He turned to stare at her. 'She has to be kidding' he thought.
"Just asking, sorry," she mumbled a little embaressed.
"When she gets better are you going to leave?" she met his gaze, "All of you."
"Not with Magneto after here" he sighed, " She's safer here."
Rouge had could chills at the mention of his name, "Why is he after her?"
He shrugged and took another drag on his cigar. 'Why was he after her?'
"What do you think he wants with her?" Jean asked Scott as they walked hand in hand through the quiet trees near the brook. They loved it here because it was beautiful, it had a magical quality. They found a soft place in the grass under the protection of the big oak trees. Jean sank down gratefully against Scott's chest.
"Why does Magneto want Ally I don't know." He smiled at her sweetly. He really didn't feel like discussing Logan and his knocked up girlfriend. Hadn't they started enough trouble for the Professor and the others? Who were they? Now they would have to protect themselves because they gave her shelter. It wasn't Allyson's fault he finally thought. She couldn't be responsible for everyone. "Who is she? She looks a little like you but has a darker complexion."
"And has the same abilities," she sighed, " She looks so familiar to me."
" I guess that is why Logan was taken with you, you look like Ally." He smiled brightly at her.
She looked far away, " I can't get past the feeling I know her from somewhere."
Scott shrugged, "In a way, I am happy for Logan. Now he can find his past with his kid and girlfriend and ..."
"Leave?" she sat up and looked at him. "You want him gone," He turned a corner of his mouth as if he would laugh. 'Unbelievable' she thought.
Logan found Charles in the infirmary holding Ally's hand. She looked better with more color but still did not move. Hank was not there. What was he doing? Reading her mind? He walked up behind him.
"Logan," he greeted him without looking to see who it was.
"You know Ally or something?" he asked him measuredly.
He shook his head, "She seems familiar to me, Yes." He turned his chair." Although, I believe I can reach her siblings."
Logan nodded he knew this meant Charles would fight along side his X-men.
Logan laughed," Imp is getting to be a strong telepathy maybe she should help too." Xavier smiled.
Beast was chuckled as he came into to the room, "And a small child shall lead them."
