Kuuuurt....  ugnnhhh...  hey you fuzzy elf..."   Kitty confirms that she's okay if not a little shaken by the mental barrage...  "what...  what's going on.... I was.... upstairs and now....  OH-MY-GOSH, WHAT'S GOING ON?!!?!"COLOSSUSHe immediately springs to action, ordering everyone out of the room and into the basement.  He yells at the top of his lungs for the Professor."PROFESSOR!!...  CHARLES!!....."Piotr grabs the X-men still hobbled on the ground, to keep them safe.  He begins to move instinctively toward the lower levels...NIGHTCRAWLER"Ahhh Piotr, I am so glad you are alright... I will go to get the professor and  meet you in the basement."  **BAMF** As Kurt arrives in Professor Xaviers room he finds only a quickly scrawled note...  and a locked window...  even Kurt can smell the twinge of ozone in the room,  and a cold scortch mark crusts the area where Xaviers wheelchair last fell!!and on the paper...It calls me... as a moth to the flame... I must go.  The park, in the center of Manhattan...  I cannot stop it... cannot stop it ... alone...ROGUERogue pushes herself of the floor and weakly tries to get her legs back under herself."What am I doing down here? And what's all this noise?"ANGEL[/b ]As Angel shakes off the image of the feathers melting from off his bhack, he looks at the TV and ses the massing forces outside and can hear the annoucments from outside...."Great now we are not just the hunted , we are the trapped.  Where is the professor and Logan, we are going to need them"He looks across to the other members of his team to see how they are recovering...Warren sees the television room... freshly popped popcorn is strewn across the floor and couches.  As Colossus picks Kitty from the floor,  Kurt glances up to Piotr then to Warren and  *BAMFS*  out...Rogue still confused on the floor -  looks up to question the ender X-man.Just out the window  Wolverine  rushes  across the quad,  bullets straifing the surrounding ground as he runs criss-cross through the yard toward you.  The Television  ECHOES  what's going on just outside...and thena blast of air and fire as if from a jet engine  burns and blows the grass and leaves in front of the elder X-man...  and a golden Ultimate decends from the sky  cutting  Logan off from your position!!"that's far enough 'Wolverine',  you go no further..."IRON MAN says as he holds out his two palms ......kkkshhhhshshshh -  dzuuuurrrrrand a blast of super-heated energy encircles the X-man,  as nothing but bone laced with metal  collapses to the ground..."anyone else have issues?!!"IRON MAN smirks as he turns to the mansion,  at the same time extending his audio in and through the mansion's  televisions and radio recievers..."X-men,  by federal mandate you will come out with your hands on your heads  and  face your sentence..."MEANWHILEWOLVERINE'Strange bunch o' mumbo jumbo,' Logan muttered on hearing Xavier's call.  'Could be cover for an attack though, especially if they targetted Chuck first - with his 'illness''As the images cleared from his mind, the scent of lilacs lingered.  He snorted in annoyance and made his way across the lawn alert for any impending trouble, occasionally zigzagging to get cover where it was available.  Logan considered this a military op, briefly wondering if Fury's psi-corp was having the same problems - or was causing the problems.  Then again, the psi-corp was probably just something Fury cooked up to keep Chuck on his toes.All of his senses strained at their limit, looking for trouble from any source - including his teammates.the large plate glass revealed the entire X-man team's position.  The sound and scent of Wagner teleporting drew Logan's eyes up.  and there he could see the X-man known as Nightcrawler,  distraught and reading something looking down at the absence of the Professor.Colossus was doing his responsible thing -  getting Kitty and Rogue to their senses...  Angel and the others kept glancing to his position in the quad.  He could easily see that they  HAD  been brainwashed with the images that had flooded their minds.and as Wolverine blew through the illusionary image of IronMan that the others could see,  he could also sense the change in barimetric pressure...  Ororo was back  and  if he guessed right -  somewhere descending now.ABOVESTORMOroro flew with purpose towards the mansion, not understanding the strange weather, that was usually her domain.  Her long, pure white hair flowed in the wind as sailed towards her home.  Hopefully the others weren't in trouble...Approaching the mansion, the dark-skinned African-American girl, dressed in her X-uniform, scanned the grounds with her pupiless, pure white eyes.  Spotting Logan, she thinks, "Oh, man, there must be trouble."She flies in, making sure to come in upwind so he knows who it is, and calls to him.  "Logan?  Hey, what's going on?  Where's everyone else?"As Ororo and Logan close on the Mansion,  and inside the others organize - a blast...  similar to the one from earlier in the night but this time harder, stronger,  more directed.PAIN!!followed by a white noise -  the sound of a silent room full of computer equipment...  a blur of nothing noise...and then......a sharp commanding thought rings out, echoing across the great grounds of the Xavier Institute! ATTENTION my X-men!  This is Professor Xavier calling!  REPEAT: this is Professor X!  You are ordered to appear at once!  Class is now in session!  Tardiness will be punished!   TO ME, MY X-MEN!! and before you know if you each find yourself organizing...  the Blackbird begins dusting off  and  finally your senses return with all the others around you...  Yes...  this was likely some sort of ellaborate trap -  but there could be no doubt,  Xavier was in need!the controls guided them toward Mid-Manhattan...  Central Park...Never within the memory of man was there a "class" such as this!  Never was there a "teacher" such as Professor X!  and never were there "students" such as the ...  X-MEN</blockquote>
