*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Mary assessed what was happening. She was armed but if she wanted to get out of this she might have to kill some people. Getting back to Kurt would be close to impossible. Getting into the main chamber meant that she might be able to loose them within the still raving party.
She made her choice, turned tail and ran.
Mary suppressed a scream as a ball of fire collided with her arm, it didn't effect her clothes but she could feel her skin underneath burn and blister.
She had reached one of the metal sheets that people were dancing on at this point and jumped under it. To her amazement all of the sheets were connected making a half decent tunnel.
"Kurt!" she hissed "I'm 5 metres inside the chamber to the east, try to teleport!"
There was a painfully long pause as Mary waited for her teleporting friend. With the directions she'd given him he should have teleported in front of her under the largest covered area.
He must have made a miscalculation because the familiar *bamf* she heard came from outside the tunnel (thought not very far). Mary yanked him under with her and prayed that not many people had seen them.
Unfortunately prayers are rarely answered.
"She's under there!!" Mary heard yelling and footsteps approaching. Even the music was dying away now.
"Kurt?" she asked
"We're gone" he reached over for her but Mary pulled him away towards the other end. Here they could see Helen still giggling, the man she was flirting with being whispered in the air by another large man. Probably to tell him about the intruders.
"Get Helen, she's that girl there" Mary pointed
"I thought we were leaving her!" Kurt hissed
"She's my friend and I'll be dammed if I won't MAKE her go home! Her parents are probably having kittens!"
Kurt mulled this over for two seconds and nodded. Grasping her hand Mary felt them both disappear and re-appear on the large table.
"Guten tag" Kurt smiled and clutched Helen's shoulder with his free hand and once again they were gone.
*bamf*
They were once again below the manhole cover. It took several seconds for Helen to take in what was happening.
"Mary?? And - good lord!!" Helen exclaimed pulling back from Kurt "How-? Why-?"
Mary glared at Helen for a moment then turned away.
"Mary?" Helen asked "What's the matter?"
Completely ignoring her Mary turned to Kurt. "Do you suppose the others will still be back at the X-jet"
"Ja, I think so" Kurt said, not sure what to do about the two girls.
"Great, let's go" Mary said taking his hand. Kurt held the other out to Helen who stared at his three fingers uncertainly
"Can't we walk?" she asked
"Don't be such a baby!" Mary snapped and forced Helen into a strange sort of group hug.
Then they were standing outside the X-jet.
Unused to teleporting Helen fainted dead in Mary's arms. Mary hauled the younger girl into a fireman's carry and knocked politely on the jet's door.
"'Bout time" Logan growled opening the hatch "Knew this'd be simple"
"We kidnapped her back" Mary said shortly "Okay, when do we go home?"
"Woah! Woah!" Rogue gasped "She wasn't going to come willingly!?!?!"
"Nope" Mary sighed "She was getting quite cosy with the guy who wanted to shoot me"
"There's gotta be something more here" Scott shook his head "She was kidnapped! Why would she want to stay?"
Mary shrugged sadly, her friend still over her shoulder.
"I could take a look through her memory, see if they forced her to stay" Jean suggested
"Stop it!" Mary suddenly cried heaving Helen into a seat "Look! I saw her flirting with that guy! She looked plenty happy and was obviously manipulating the situation to make it better for herself! I was wrong about her! Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! She's just a rich little attention seeker and a normal life isn't good enough for her!" And with tears running down her face Mary left.
There was silence in the X-jet until Kurt noticed that Helen was shaking.
"Helen?" he asked "How long have you been conscious?"
"Long enough" the girl sobbed.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Mary was full of anger and betrayal. How could Helen be happy there?? She had to come home, Mary decided, then she'd come back to her senses.
Tears continued to rolls down to her face. She wondered briefly if everything that had happened to her was making her loose her mind. Mary shook slightly outside, she felt so cold still. She looked down from the building they had landed on. She looked across and saw trendy bars and cheap accommodation.
"This should be her home" Mary sighed
'But what about me?'
Mary had not been born in London, she'd grown up in rural England. Her family had brought her up home teaching her everything they knew. Mary had never liked how busy London was, it was such a contrast to the eternal silence in the country.
"How ya doin kid?" Logan asked
"I don't even know her" Mary sighed
"Meh, some people are good at disguising who they really are" Logan shrugged
Mary watched the cars beneath them in silence.
"Too much has happened to me, and what am I going to get back? Xavier will want to take Helen on but I'll be dumped here, with so many memories" Mary said sadly "But you'll just forget me"
"Kid? It's gonna be mighty hard forgettin' you" Logan smiled
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
"Helen? I'm sure you're hiding something" Jean said slowly
"What? NO!! Get out of my head!!" Helen continued crying
"If you keep hiding it your going to hurt people, people you care about!" Jean said clutching Helen's shoulders
"Jean?" Scott asked
Jean paused for a long time "Helen, how did you discover your powers?"
Helen quietened a bit and looked away from everyone.
"My school was doing an activity week a few years ago and on the last day we got to sail on this huge boat. It was replica of the mayflower or something stupid. Anyway, something went wrong, there was this huge explosion during the lunch break. I was still outside because I'd wandered off and the whole mast broke off. The splintered end swung towards me and pinned me against The deck. Sharp side down."
Kitty couldn't help wincing "That should have hurt"
"It should have but it didn't, it's not only that my skin is impenetrable, my body is indestructible."
"So, what does this have to do with anything?" Scott asked
Mary sighed "I'm just so tired of hiding. Telling Mary was the best thing that ever happened to me"
"Why did you tell Mary?" Evan asked suspiciously
"I, um, fell through a window on the second floor" Helen blushed "My whole not-dying raised a few questions"
"We all get tired of hiding who we are Helen" Jean said kindly "You could come to America and see our professor, he can help you and we can all help to fulfil his dream"
"Which is...?" Helen asked
"For Mutants and humans to live together in peace" Kitty put in.
"That feels like a very distant dream" Helen sighed
"Well, we are at least helping people. What do your new friends do that's so great?"
"They are not my friends" Helen insisted
"Mary seems pretty certain you were getting friendly with one of them" Kurt sighed
"I-oh, him" Helen said simply
"Ya, him" Rogue agreed coldly
"He wants to marry me" Helen said simply
"And have you accepted?" Scott asked
"It was either accept or they'd kill my father! What the bloody hell do you think I'd do!?" Helen cried angrily
"Okay, easy! Scott meant no offence" Kurt said gently
"Joseph said that normal people will never accept us. They're scared of us, jealous" Helen said
"Since when did you start listening to the guy who gave you an ultimatum as a proposal?" Kitty asked
"I guess, but even I have do admit he may have a point" Helen sighed "We must get back to my house, dad's in danger. I may have been kidnapped but Joseph will want vengeance"
"Okay guys, we need to take off ASAP" Scott said "Get Mary and Logan in here NOW and we're gone!"

Yay!! It's nearly finished!!
