The Key Of Living

Before The Battle

"He just spoke to me", Jean said.

"I think he spoke to everyone", Scott answered.

"I could hear him too", I murmured.

"No, no ... he just sent me a hidden message. One he knew only I could hear. I know where they are."

"Wait, that means you also know where Helen is?"

"Yes."

Kurt's POV

Just then a man with a gun walked the corner.

"Hey!" he yelled and pulled his gun.
I quickly grabbed Jean and Scott and teleported into another hallway.
Every time we came to a corner, we looked around carefully 'till we came to a locked door with a
'Warning, Restricted Area'
-Sign.

"The generator. It's worth a shot", Scott said.

"Kurt?"

I grabbed onto their shoulders and teleported us into the locked room.

Suddenly we heard someone breathing. It sounded like it was something wild. It also sniffed the air.
We turned to a huge container-thing.

"There's some kind of animal in there", Scott said.

"It's no animal. It's a man."

'A man? But a normal man doesn't sound like this, right?'

"Who is he?" I asked.

Jean shook her head.

"That part of him has been taken away."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean they turned him into some kind of weapon."

We heard the soldiers outside and hid behind the container, when the door flew open.
Then there was a voice.

"Charlie Three, report.
Did you find them?"

Jean lifted her hand and opened the container door.
When it opened the alarm went off.

Suddenly one of the soldiers exclaimed: "Fire!"

And they started to shoot.
We stepped back, afraid.
Then we heard screaming, one that sounded like anger and the others like pain.

"Weapon X is loose!
I repeat, Weapon X is loose!"someone said.

We walked out the room when we saw the soldiers on the ground, dead.

"You're sure he's not an animal?"

We followed the trail of dead soldiers 'till we met that man, which killed the soldiers. He was dressed weird.

"Scott, wait."

He had his hand on his glasses.
The man stopped in his tracks. Jean walked towards him.

"Jean."

She raised her hands to take that strange looking thing, he had on his head, off, but her wrists were grabbed, before she could take that thing off. She then closed her eyes and I think she did something telepathic.
Jean lowered her hands and the man looked to Scott and me weirdly before running out.

"What'd you do to him?" Scott asked.

"I found a piece of his past and gave it back to him", Jean answered, "Just the few memories I could reach."
