cannonball was wondering where all the sentinels had gone. he flew above the tree line and saw the jet fly off, and sentinels retreating. "what the hell? they just left me here!?!?!" sam said to himself. he was not paying attention on the ride their, so he didnt know how to get back to the mansion. cannonball started flying in the direction the jet went off, bu the lost sight of it eventually.
*ok then*
sam put his elbows on his knees and let his head fall into his hands. he had never even really spoken to michael, but it hurt him so much to know that an x-man was dead. and the fact that maybe if he hadnt been fooling around in the forest, he couldve prevented this. he squeezed his head clenching his fingers around his hair, practically pulling it out. he looked around and could see the depression of everyone's faces. someone would pay for this.
*cyclops was pacing back and forth in the professors study*
cyclops - "i can't believe this, i've known frank ten years, i even saved his life before, and this is how he repays me? that can't be it, someone must have fed him false information... or not, i don't know... and michael, he was a good kid, he really was, he showed good prescence of mind today, he saved my life, he could have been an x-man... i'm just so angry now..."
pr x - "scott please calm down, what has happened today is a tragedy, but we still have to find the others. tell me, how did the students perform today?"
cyclops - "gambit, no problems as always, michael did well, noah too, he followed orders, did his job, though i dont think he's ready just yet... celia acquitted herself well... stood up to the sentinels, followed orders, a definite for the next rescue mission. i don't know about the others, i'll ask jean and report back to you..."
pr x - "and how are you doing scott..."
cyclops - "no injuries, a bruise or two maybe, but that shoulda been me in front of that sentinel, not him..."
