things are starting to happen in the lab. xavier (leader of the X-Men) arrives with two of his crew.
towards the end of this chap xavier talks about Cerebro (pronounced se-ree-bro). this is a machine that he built with Magneto (before he went bad, Magneto and Xavier worked together but Magneto's ideas were different to Xaviers so he went out on his own) Cerebro is operated by Xavier. he puts on a special helmet which is wired up to the machine and his telepathy starts it up and he can pin point any mutant in the world using Cerebro.
here is a pic of Cerebro. Xavier is on the bridge, on his way to the end to use it.
now the explaination is out of the way, here is the next chap. it is slightly longer becsause of the way its been written. if i'd left some of it for tomorrows post then it wouldn't read right.
anyway, enjoy!
luv

Eric and Speed walked through the lab and noticed Jake sat in the interrogation room.
“Speed, isn’t that Jake sat in there?”
Speed looked a bit closer, “it is! I wonder why he’s here. I’ll see if I can hear anything.”
Speed listened for anything unusual, “Horatio’s office, there are some voices that I recognise but they shouldn’t be here.”
“Who?”
“Xavier, Storm and Jean. They’re in there with Horatio, Calleigh and Logan. Something big is going to happen, why else would they be here?”
“Let’s go find out.”
The boys headed towards Horatio’s office.
“Charles, what would Magneto want with our lab?”
“He believes that for the human race to except us mutants as we are is to turn them into mutants like us. Using this lab would enable him to do so. Particularly the DNA lab and staff.”
Horatio suddenly looked up at the door, “I think we have visitors,” he opened the door using his telekinesis and Eric and Speed fell through. Xavier looked at the pair of them on the floor.
“Still up to your old tricks I see,” a smile came across Xavier’s face.
Eric and Speed quickly stood up, “we noticed Jake in custody and Speed heard you guys talking. We wanted to know what was going on in case something is going down.”
Jean closed the door, “Magneto is using your friend to gather information on the lab.”
“What?” Eric and Speed chorused together and looked towards Horatio for confirmation.
“Rick is controlling his invisibility but he won’t be able to control it for long. Right now, Jake is thinking of ways to get away from here. If his thoughts become strong enough, it may break Rick’s control.”
Xavier wheeled himself towards the boys, “I don’t know much about Jake as he didn’t come from my academy but was just living amongst humans. He thought that he was the only one of his kind. It was Horatio and Stetler that found him and took him on. It’s just ashame that he isn’t using his abilities wisely.”
“Are we all going to be needed at some point?” Speed was hoping for some action.
“We don’t know yet but just be aware of any shape shifters that may be around,” the warning from Xavier worried Eric and Speed.
“Okay, we’ll stay alert. Eric and myself have work to do.”
As they turned to go process their evidence, Eric stopped in his tracks and his eyes glazed over. He was having one of his visions. Calleigh rushed to his side and sat him down on the chair that Storm had vacated for him.
“Eric, what can you see?” Calleigh spoke calmly so not to startle him.
He tried to make sense of the colours that were whizzing around in his head, “shape shifter in the lab. I see her taking on someone’s identity. Blue and red.”
“That sounds like Mystique,” confirmed Jean.
“The lab is in pieces, humans dying everywhere. Mutants fighting each other. Two mutants who look identical are fighting, can’t see who they are though,” Eric’s head fell back and he closed his eyes.
Calleigh stood up, “that’s it, he won’t have anything else to say. He’ll be tired now and sit here for a while.”
Horatio paced the room, “Speed, get Frank, Alexx and Valera in here now. I’ll call Rick. Mystique will probably come here to help get Jake out of here by disguising herself as one of us.”
Speed sped round to pass on the message to everyone.
Jake sat in the interrogation room feeling a bit restless. He tried to figure out how he was going to get out of there. With him not being able to control his own ability, he was helpless. As he sat and tried to figure things out, the door opened. In stepped a familiar red head looking directly at him.
“Horatio!”
“Let’s go Jake!”
“Where?”
“Just get up and you’ll find out.”
Jake stood up bewildered and did as he was told. Horatio took him outside of the building and into a waiting van. Horatio suddenly turned into Mystique. Jake grinned, “am I glad to see you. We need to get out of here quick, Stetler is controlling me and need to get out of his range.”
Mystique called to Sabretooth to drive on, “Magneto isn’t too happy with you.”
“Why? What have I done?”
“Besides getting caught and telling them about our plans…”
“Hang on a minute Mystique, how does he know that I told them the plan?”
Mystique grinned, “because you have just confessed to me just now.”
“I didn’t tell them the plan, I just said that Magneto wanted the lab. I said nothing about our plan.”
“That’s as good as telling him as Xavier is there now as well with Storm and Jean. I saw them arriving. Horatio can read your mind as well so he will have got information from you without you even realising.”
“He’s too ethical too invade someone’s mind without their permission.”
“You’d better hope he hasn’t changed his ethics as you are in trouble already, Magneto is p*ssed off with you right now!”
Jake put his head in his hands, he wasn’t looking forward to meeting up with his boss.
The whole team had gathered in Horatio’s office. Horatio thought to himself that it was a good job that he had chosen a big room for his office as he was starting to feel claustrophobic.
Everyone had arrived except for Stetler.
The door burst open and Stetler came in rather anxious, “Horatio, you are not going to believe this but Jake has gone.”
Horatio stood up and approached Stetler, “I left him with Jessop.”
“He told me that you had taken him out of the building. I don’t have a lock on him anymore.”
“Mystique!” exclaimed Xavier.
Logan looked at Eric, “he got the bit about the shape shifter right,” he turned to look at Horatio who was also looking concerned at Eric, “Horatio, I’ve just realised something else. The blue and red. It wasn’t Mystique he was describing, it was you!”
Horatio suddenly turned to Logan, “how did you figure that out?”
“You’re wearing a blue shirt and you have red hair. Looks like she’ll be taking on your identity for a while judging from Eric’s premonition.”
“But why Horatio?” pondered Frank.
“Because, Frank, I’m the head of the lab and I have more power over the running of the lab than any of the team. She’d get access to all areas of the building which means, Magneto will as well!”
“We will go back to the Mansion and I will track down Jake on Cerebro. We find Jake, we find Magneto,” Xavier prepared to leave the lab, “I will let you know what I find.”
Xavier, Storm and Jean left the building.
Eric stirred in his seat, his head was aching, “what happened?”
“You had a vision that has put everything hold,” Calleigh explained what had just happened to Eric.
