Chapter 90 - Get Ready! (2/2)

*******************

(Xavier Mansion)

Delicate hands slowly reached for the metal helmet on her head before dragging it off. A smile blossomed on her lips as she got up from her seat and turned to Charles and Logan behind her. ”I've found her professor; whatever was shielding her has suddenly retracted.”

Charles looked up a Jean as she delivered the news, her excitement was clear to see. Logan next to him gave a clear nod, raring to go find Laura as well. Seeing the small flicker of red in her eyes, as she looked at him, still created a small sense of doubt in his mind, but he shook it off.

”Good, Wolverine after lunch I want the main team gathered and ready to go. I'll be coming with you guys this time, I have a feeling that something is going to happen on this mission.” Wolverine gave a nod as he stood behind Charles and began to push him towards the exit.

Jean started to follow behind them, a small spring in her step. ”Jean, please have something to eat before we leave for the mission today, though whatever was hiding her has disappeared, if it comes back while looking for her we will be relying on you.”

Jean gave a nod just as they reach the elevator to the main floor. ”Yes professor. I'll go get my gear ready now!” Before Charles could say anything else Jean sprinted off into a different corridor and was out of sight in seconds.

Charles still had a frown on his face as he watched her leave, something Logan took note of. ”Something wrong Chuck?” Charles looked at his friend and could only shake his head. ”I don't know my friend, I don't know.”

Getting into the elevator Logan reassured him. ”Don't worry, me, Hank, Ororo and even that d.i.c.k Gambit will protect the kids.” ”Logan language.” Charles reprimanded him in good humor as Logan just shrugged his shoulders.

As the elevator reached the ground floor and they rolled out, heading for the headmasters room, Charles spoke his worries again. ”I know that Logan, but something is coming on the horizon, something big and dangerous. I can't tell what it is, but we will have to be ready.”

Logan rolled his eyes at the foreboding in his words. In his eyes whatever was to come, the x-men would take it down, if not them then other super heroes, more and more had been popping up recently. The rest of the trip was spent in silence. Once Logan dropped Charles off in his office he had to go inform the others that they had a mission.
