"Important News! Last night, a blue mutant attempted an attack on the President's life." The blaring news from the TV abruptly cut into the usual programs. "Reports suggest the mutant has the uncanny ability to teleport—"
Theon's mind raced as he sipped his morning cappuccino. 'Striker's at it again. He might not be aware of Cerebro's existence, but he's certainly gearing up for an assault on the school,' he pondered, contemplating the situation.
Having finished his breakfast, Theon made his way to Xavier's office.
"Good morning, Professor. What's our plan regarding the assassination attempt?" he inquired.
"Good morning, Theon. I've been trying to locate the mutant, but he continually vanishes. It's impossible to track him," Xavier responded.
"Any news about Magneto? Could he be involved in this?" Theon pressed further.
"No, Eric wouldn't resort to such a reckless act," Xavier replied firmly.
"Is there anyone you know who propagates anti-mutant sentiments?" Theon asked, probing for any potential leads.
Xavier sighed, a sense of concern etched across his face. "There are many voices that harbor such beliefs, but pinpointing a specific person with direct involvement is challenging."
Theon nodded: "I had a Vision the school will be attacked tonight."
'Spitting bullshit but this is the only way to prevent the hostage situation'
"Are you sure about it Theon?" asked Xavier worried.
"Yes, are there any secret passages or bunkers?"
"Yes, we have them I will call Colossus and Forge to discuss about the escape plan"
Approving Theon backed away going to his room.
Just as Theon turned the corner toward his room, he stumbled upon an unexpected sight that made him wish for invisibility. There, right in front of him, Bobby and Anna were locked in a passionate embrace. They were so engrossed in their moment that they hadn't noticed his presence.
Frozen in shock and utterly mortified, Theon felt like he was intruding on something incredibly intimate. He attempted to back away silently, hoping they wouldn't notice him witnessing their private moment. But just as he turned, his foot landed on an unnoticed object, causing a small clatter.
The sound startled Bobby and Anna, who abruptly broke apart, their faces blushing furiously. Theon could feel his cheeks burning as they turned to look at him, a mix of embarrassment and apology filling the air.
"I, uh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt," Theon stammered, trying to salvage the awkwardness.
"You guys should prepare we will escape from the school in a few hours."
Bobby and Anna exchanged an awkward glance, clearly surprised by Theon's sudden intrusion. The tension in the air was palpable as Theon tried to mask his embarrassment, but it was futile.
"Prepare to leave? Escape?" Anna echoed, confusion etched on her face.
Theon winced inwardly, realizing his slip of words had only added to the confusion. "I mean, uh, we're just getting ready for some drills." He attempted to cover up his hasty statement, hoping it wouldn't raise suspicion.
Anna raised an eyebrow, but before she could inquire further, Bobby interjected, "Right, drills. We'll get everything ready, no worries." He shot a reassuring smile at Theon, trying to diffuse the awkwardness.
"Great. I'll, um, see you guys later," Theon mumbled hastily, retreating down the hallway. His mind raced with a flurry of embarrassment and the pressing need to ensure everyone's safety.
Back in his room, Theon hastily gathered essential items and checked his communications device. His thoughts oscillated between the impending escape plan and the uncomfortable encounter with Bobby and Anna.
'Will I ever get a girlfriend?'
Minutes turned to hours as he waited for Xavier's instructions. The tension hung heavy in the air, and Theon's nerves were on edge. He paced the room, mentally running through escape scenarios and contingencies.
Finally, a message chimed on his communicator. It was Xavier's voice, clear and firm: "Theon, it's time. Gather at the designated point immediately."
With a deep breath, Theon hurriedly made his way to the designated meeting point, where Xavier, Colossus, Forge, and a few other mutants had already assembled. The atmosphere was tense yet organized, with everyone focused on the impending escape.
Xavier addressed the group, "We have reason to believe an imminent threat is upon us. Our primary goal is to ensure everyone's safety. Follow the planned route and stick together. Do not engage unless absolutely necessary."
Theon's heart raced as they made their way through the secret passages and into the underground bunker.
As they reached the secured bunker, Xavier initiated the lockdown procedures. Theon's mind raced with a mix of anxiety and determination to ensure everyone made it out safely.
Hours passed in tense anticipation. Theon's senses were heightened, every sound amplifying the anxiety pulsing through his veins.
The school sensors abruptly went haywire, signaling an imminent attack. Xavier's expression turned grave as he addressed the urgency of Theon's earlier premonition.
"Theon, it seems your vision was accurate. There's an impending attack on the school," Xavier confirmed, a note of urgency coloring his words.
Gathering around the surveillance monitors, Xavier and Theon observed the screens, astonished by what unfolded. Among the attackers, one figure stood out—the unmistakable presence of Colonel Striker, Jason's father.
Theon's heart raced, a mix of dread and determination flooding his thoughts. 'Now that Xavier recognizes the Colonel, we have a lead,' he thought, his mind already formulating plans.
