"John! Where are you going?" Bobby chased after him as she sped down the hallway. "John, wait up!" When he finally caught up to John, he was a bit out of breath. Not once did John look over at him as he walked. "Wait!" Bobby grabbed his arm but John wrenched it away. "Would you just stop for one second? What's going on?"

"That bitch Kaylin doesn't know how to keep her damn mouth shut." John stormed down the hall growling the words.

"What did she do? Wait, where's Mya?"

"She gone, she probably half way back to Canada by now. Damn it!" He flicked his lighter in his hand and rolled a ball of fire around in his palm.

"John, put that out. We'll go to the professor, he can bring her back."

"That's the point Bobby, she doesn't want to come back, she can't come back here and it's my fault. None of this would have happened if it weren't for me, if I hadn't lied to her. Damn it!" he flicked his lighter closed before they arrived at the Professor's door. As he was about to put his hand on the knob, the door opened to reveal Xavier behind the desk.

"Professor, she's..."

"Not too far from here. She's on a train headed North towards the boarder. Ask Scott or Wolverine to take you."

"I'll come with you," Bobby piped up from behind him.

"Professor I…" John stood before him suddenly looking sad and exhausted.

"It's not your fault John, you had no control over the events that took place." Bobby stood back looking at John, still not used to his more sensitive side. He was so used to seeing John with his guard up, never displaying any other emotion than extreme annoyance or anger.

"I don't know what to do," he looked up at the Professor as he came out from behind his desk.

"You're a smart, young man John, I'm sure you'll work things out," he smiled almost knowingly, which made him feel a bit better.

"Thanks," he said before turning and leaving the room. Bobby nodded his head back to the professor before following behind John. Just as they turned the corner from the Professor's office, John slammed into Wolverine coming from the other side.

"Logan, Maia's…"

"Yeah the Professor sent me the mind message. I hate it when he does that. Doesn't give a person a chance to argue."

"Then let's go!" John headed for the garage, followed by Bobby.

"Why am I always the babysitter…" Logan commented under his breath as he shook his head.
"I'm supposed to come with you," Scott walked up to them as they entered the garage.

"Great..." Logan shook his head again.

"We'll take the Rendezvous." Scott walked up and pressed the button on his keychain to open the doors.

"Great the family-mobile..." Logan mumbled as he got into the passenger's seat.

"The Professor said she's heading for Saratoga Springs. It's about 45 minutes from here."

"She'll be gone by then…" John closed the door beside him as Scott started the car.

"Then let me drive." Logan held out his hand to Scott for the keys.

"No, I've got it, everyone buckle in." Scott revved the engine. As the garage door opened he slammed his foot down on the gas sending the SUV barreling down the driveway.
