comma open

[xavier]

(i will not be posting in this thread agin))

Xavier lied on the bed. his body looked so frail and weak like an old man waiting to die. The hart monitor looked good indicating he was strong it was just he would not wake up. Several drips were attached to him feeding him and keeping the pain down. All the treatment that could be done had been done.

Dr Hank McCoy had flown all they way back from Washington to treat him. he had said he had done the best he could but there was a change chorales would lose the use of his legs again. There was nothing any one could of done along with hank a man named Dr Strange had help in the surgery he had also said the same the atmosphere around the school was a dark one.

The student were going threw a wide range of emotions rage sorrow. some were saying it was a member of teh brotherhood. Saying they had arranged this as a power take over.

The other big question was who would lead for the time that he was in his comma and how long would it take. Two things that were clear was that if Havoc had not found Xavier when he did the man would of been dead. The second was that this the x men would not let this go unanswered by any one

Rogue rushed down to the medical bay as soon as she heard. She had hoped it was all a lie. A rumour. It wasn't. As soon as she saw him she knew it wasn't. He was in a coma. Xavier was in a coma. She bit her bottom lip as she sat beside him, taking his hand in hers.

"Ya'll be okay professor. Ya stronger then anyone ah know."

She murmurred as tears appeared in the corners of her eyes. Rogue knew she would have to run the school now. She was in charge of the students, but Xavier had always ran the school. Rogue wasn't sure how she'd do but she would do her best. She refused to let the school go under. It was most of the mutants here only home.

"Don't worry professor. Ah'll look after things. Bobby'll look after the Xmen. Everything will be as it normally is when ya wake up. Ah promise."

She spoke softly. She pressed a soft kiss to her fingertips before pressing said fingertips to his cheek. Who could have done this to him? One thing Rogue knew for certain, when she found out she would make them pay. Xavier had saved her when no one else could or wanted to. She owed him everything.

Alex wasn’t in a good mood at all, Charles had been attacked if it hadn’t been for him then he didn’t know how long it would have been before Charles had been found, luckily he had been working out in the gym at the time which meant that he had gotten to Charles in a couple of seconds after he had seen the slumped over body of the man that he saw as a good friend and a mentor, he hadn’t really been a student to Charles as he had been taught by Scott more than anyone else, he had taken Charles to the med bay and had called all of the x men that he knew, still no reply from Scott or Jean yet he had called Beast and he had been there within the hour pretty much when Alex had told him that it had been Charles that had gotten hurt. Alex had to admit that it had been scary just seeing Charles lying there bleeding from his back the skin ripped apart. Beast had believed that there had been a severe spinal injury caused and that Charles may have ended up back in his wheelchair again, Alex didn’t know how Charles would cope with that he had just gotten his legs back again and now he was losing that chance to walk because it had been ripped away from him again.

Alex had heard people rumour that it had been the brotherhood that had been behind the attack but Alex doubted that, Magneto and Charles had been friends there was no way that Magneto would have allowed something to happen to his best friend that had been so underhanded and shady surely, however he did know that Pietro had been very vocal in that he didn’t like sitting around and doing nothing so it could have very easily been Magneto’s son that had been behind the attack but Alex truly didn’t know why he would have done it because of the fact that it would have made more sense to attack the whole team rather than just attack one member of it who was the least active of the team, Charles was a man that was well past his 50’s he wasn’t a fighter yet he had been targeted for some reason. Walking back to the med bay after trying to ring Scott again he noticed that there had been someone else in the room with Charles, charging his hands fearing that the person had gone to finish the job he felt stupid walking into the room to see Rogue sitting with Charles. He knew that it would be hard for Rogue looking after the students with Charles to help her right now but Alex was more intent on hurting the person that had attacked Charles than teaching students right now. Sighing he sat in a chair that wasn’t far from the bed but far enough away that it wasn’t right on top of Charles.

“You have to admit whoever did this one had balls and two this isn’t an amateur attack.” He said “they have planned this, they attacked in the middle of the night and it is an isolated incident, we don’t even know if they have left yet.”

[bobby]

Bobby rushed down to the medical bay, his emotions were awash with anger and fear, he should have been there, he should have stopped this. When Bobby got there Rogue was already there, and Alex Summers, Bobby had hoped to be alone with the professor, but that's life.

Bobby knew he would have to run the X-Men all by himself, he wouldn't have the Professor using Cerebro to help find trouble, and to advise him. Bobby was scared, and he was not sure he could step up, but he'd would because he had to. Bobby would kill John and the rest of the Brotherhood for this, we never should have let them in.

Bobby looked towards Rogue, she was in tears, she needed his comfort, but Bobby was in no place to give it. Bobby looked to Alex, and all he could think begrudgingly is I wish he was Scott.

Magneto walked down the hall quickly. He neglected wearing his helmet now. If it was true what happened, he would not need it. Besides, he would not of worn it otherwise. Magneto had no idea who would do this. As he neared the door to the lab, He could see three figures and Charles on the bed. "Who did this?" He asked angrily as he burst through the doorway. He walked over to Charles, observing the wires, drips, and damages.

He stands less than a foot away from the bed. "Who could have done this?" He says softer but still angry. "I can assure you all. None of my Brotherhood did this." Magneto says adressing the others in the room. They would not dare to attack Charles with this kind of peace between the X-men and the Brotherhood at the moment. They also know if it was any of them, they would be answering directly to Magneto.

[beckii]

Rogue barely noticed the others wander in. She was so lost in looking at Xavier. She was upset. Very upset. However when Magneto walked in she noticed. He definately had a presence to him, and the Magneto psyche in her head always seemed to be more powerful when the real counterpart was around. Hearing his words she looked over at Magneto. As much as he had done wrong by her she knew he was Xavier's friend, and even without that with the truce going on to stop Apocolypse she knew he would not do this. It wouldn't help get rid of Apocolypse to split up the Xmen and Brotherhood from their goal. Reluctantly she let go of Xavier's hand and stood up, walking over to Magneto. Hesitantly she touched Magneto's clothed shoulder.

"Ah, and ah am sure we all, know you and the Brotherhood did not do this. Even if he were not your friend, you are far more intelligent then to have you or one of your own hurt him when we have Apocolypse to worry about. We have no idea who did this but we will find out. Ah promise. Ah will be running the school since Xavier appointed me as head of the students before he was hurt. Bobby is in charge of the Xmen. Ah think whilst he continue to run this school and find a way to stop Apocolypse, we should all join forces to find out who could have done this to Xavier. Ah'll get Logan to sniff Xavier. Maybe whoever did it has left his scent. If ya like, we can check all security cameras together. Ah know ya would want to help."

Rogue then looked over at Bobby and Alex.

"Bobby, see if we have a telepath or someone who can find or predict trouble. If ya can't... ah'll see if ah can find a way to see if ah still have Xavier's power in meh head. Alex, can ya check the students and make sure they are all alright? Ah don't want them to do anything stupid. Ah'll call a meeting with the other teachers so they know whats going on. Ah won't let the school fail whilst the professor is in a coma. We owe it to him to make sure this school stays running smoothly."

Rogue then turned back to Magneto.

"If Bobby is okay with it, and if you want to, when we have missions to do as Xmen, you and your most trusted members of your Brotherhood are free to come with us. Ah am sure the extra people with us would be best. If someone can come in here and do this to the professor there is no telling what else that person is capable of."

She sighed deeply before running a hand through her hair as she backed away from Magneto a step.

"Ah think at the meeting we will have to talk about security. Everyone must be safe here."

Anger and frustration is all that filled Logan that morning, running himself ragged in the Danger room putting it on the highest possible level that gave him the most challenging work out. He'd just found out about Xavier before deciding to drill himself in the danger room. Logan wanted to see him more than anything, but he knew he'd be in a rage to hunt and kill anyone that would stand in his way of finding out whom had done this.

Wolverine jumped and launched himself off of a burning sky scrapper that was falling onto a military armed copter. Hanging on with his claws dug into the side of the copter by the door, he yelled as a camoflage painted up man swung and slammed a knife into Logan's leg. "GAH you A**HOLE" And he slammed a set of claws into the man's gut and threw him off the copter. Getting inside he took out about five more guys then the pilot, by now the engine had caught on fire and the copter was spiraling, "Computer stop and clear room." Logan commanded.

Standing draped over with his hands on his knees, panting a bit as sweat flowed from his face and down his neck, dripped from his hair. "Damn machine making it airborne last minute." Gritting his teeth holding back the feeling of his nocious gut. After it subsided, he stood wiped his face off and exited the room. Cleaning up a little he headed to the med labs, always memories of Jean flooded him going there but it was nessicary to go there and see the Professor.

Getting closer to the door, all the scents of the people in the room got to him, great he wouldn't be alone with the professor, just what he wanted. Still with a grudge at the man, Logan glared at Eric, he wasn't as forgiving as Rogue was. Instantly he did think of one of the Brotherhood members being the culpret, Logan never trusted the thought of letting them into the mansion and now they resided there. Wanting to go to Xavier's side, Logan didn't he just walked over to a spot at a distance and crossed his arms, "Alex, you found him right? What was the pattern of the wounds?" He asked directed at the boy, once he knew the style of wound it would narrow down whom he was to be hunting down. Not yet having a chance to get close enough to get a good scent off of Xavier.

[havok]

When Bobby came into the room and sat by Rogue, Alex couldn’t help but wonder how truly out of place and unliked within the x men he was, he had not been able to really connect to the team that his brother was the leader of, he didn’t know if that was because they thought he was trying to be like Scott which he clearly wasn’t or if it was something to do with himself, either way Alex found it a little weird that some of the x men had treated him like an outsider despite the fact that he was one of them.

When Magneto entered the room Alex was unsure of what to say to the other man, he didn’t think that Magneto was behind this, sure the pair had wars but he doubted that Magneto would have planned this when they had meant to be in the same side, Pietro on the other hand the son of Magneto, Alex got the feeling that he could have been behind it, after all they had supposedly had a meeting in which Pietro had spoken out against his father, whether the support of the brotherhood rested with either Pietro or Magneto Alex didn’t know but the more important thing seemed to be that someone had the balls to attack Charles.

When Rogue spoke to him he didn’t know who had put her in charge as the last time he had known she was the one that was in charge of students and it should have been more her responsibility where as he would be more likely to be in the meeting that had been to do with what they should have been doing to help find who had attacked Charles rather than how to help the kids. “I am not the best person for that I think.” Ales said honestly “I am not a teacher Rogue, I doubt many of them would listen to me.”

When Logan turned up and asked of him the wounds on Charles, he hadn’t been expecting to be quizzed on what had happened to the older man and he hadn’t really been focusing on what had happened to him, he had been more concerned with the fact that Charles was bleeding all over the floor and looked close to death, “I didn’t pay much attention,” he said “but Beast said that there was a slash from left to right across his back and then three claw incisions that caused the damage.”

[bobby]

Bobby was pissed when Magneto showed up, but Bobby knew in his heart that it wasn't Magneto, or even Pyro who had done this, maybe Pietro, but it wasn't the fire mutant or the metal mutant it wasn't their style.

"Hey Rogue maybe Cable could help out?" Bobby didn't like Cable all that much but he was a telepath, and he was relatively trustworthy.

As Logan and Alex talked Bobby became sure the brotherhood was not involved, there was no brotherhood member besides Sabertooth and the lizardman who could cause those wounds, and the wounds reminded Bobby of wounds he'd seen Faith and Logan cause. "Logan how many others like you and Faith are there?" Bobby was pretty sure it would be very few, and he also suspected Stryker and Weapon X.

[james]

The entire time Alex and Bobby spoke to him, Logan could only keep looking at Xavier's limp body. Claws marks simpler to his were across the professor's back so Alex had said Beast had observed. Logan knew Faith wouldn't touch Xavier in a harmful manor on purpose in any kind of way, Weapon X had no more control over her so it wasn't possible. Weapon X? X?

His looked harderend and anger, he walked forward and knelt Xavier's side, opposite to Rogue and Eric. Hand on Xavier's shoulder, "I know who did this Professor, I'm sorry for what he has done. It's my fault." In a rather quiet tone directed at the Professor he dropped his head before standing. Logan looked dead on to Rogue, "Your friend has made his point. I'm going after him." There was no room for her to argue with him this time. With that he headed out of the room, the scent that covered Xavier, with the mix of Beast and Alex was for sure the same one Rogue had had in the bar. That was all Logan needed to hunt down X. Whomever this guy was that wanted Logan dead first.

Cable stood there how long he had been there was a misery. slowly he came out of the shadows at first all they could see was the large frame and the glowing eye. This had ment to happen and he was glad it had in the long run it would be a good thing. Not that he would tell any one. On the other side he needed to hurt some one Xavier was his family in fact the man was his god father and he was a fighter like Logan he was a trained killer.

"Wolverine and how do you think you will get in your going to need an edge." he looked to bobby " Thanks for the vote but i all ready know The who and were and i am going to have words with them. Its a simple message i want peace and i have the ordnance to make it happen."

He looked back at Logan. "were going to go in and make a mess personally i feel we only need one to deliver our message!" he knew there was going to be some of them who hated the idea x men did not kill but then cable was not an x man. he floated an inch above the ground. A blue glow stopping any one from touching him.
