After we were all aboard the aircraft, we quickly left the place before any government or clandestine agency caught us.
The return flight would take us 5 hours due to the large number of occupants on the ship. The boys were in charge of caring for those injured by the scientists and their experiments. There are many who have traumas and wanted death more than to start over, but with a small idealistic speech from Colosso, those children regained a little hope.
I won't lie, the colosso speech is like those of idealistic politicians or extremists, but this idealistic speech is the one that is easy for children to accept.
"Hey max, come here for a minute." María said and then dragged me to the back of the aircraft.
"What's up Maria?" I asked.
"Well, you see, I would like to know if it is possible for you to remove the drawback of my ability." Maria asked with a hopeful tone.
"It is possible to do so, but as I had told everyone while I was in the barracks, my ability requires an equivalent price depending on how much you value the wish, that is, you wish with all your being that I remove the drawback of your ability, but "This wish is something that greatly affects your reality and therefore the cost of the wish is also very high, although my ability is not enough to know how high, it will definitely be a very high price to pay."
I responded, honestly, there was no use in deceiving her and even though she is one of the characters I like, it doesn't mean that I will make her make a contract that clearly puts her at a disadvantage without informing her, after all I am not a bad person, I just don't. It is in my values to cheat on my teammates, after all I am not trash who would sacrifice my teammates for something as insignificant as sexual pleasure.
"So you see, the price you will pay will definitely not be low." I said while looking into her eyes which, although I told her that the price would be high, did not stop shining.
"I am willing, the drawback of my ability is very big, and I am willing to pay you any price if you help me solve it." Although I said that, I'm not stupid, I know very well that he doesn't lie to me after all it's very easy for me to know what a person is like by his body language, besides that I like him, imagine that the contract forces me to be his girlfriend, hehehe.
"Well, if you say so, we will make the contract once we arrive at the academy, plus we must inform the others of the important decision you are about to make." I said in a serious tone.
"Thank you max." She said as she gave me a hug which I returned with the same sentiment.
"Hey guys, we have company, everyone to the command room." Our name is Kitty.
We quickly stopped hugging and went to see what was happening with the others, when we entered the command room we found everyone on the team trying to lose a homing missile.
"We can get rid of the missile." Jean asked worriedly.
"We can't, it's an extremely high tech missile as it was able to track our ship even though we are in stealth jet mode." Kitty said thinking what to do.
"That means we're lost." Scott said.
"We are not lost laser eye." Logan said, Scott was about to respond but met Logan's gaze and said nothing. The others saw it but selectively ignored it, after all in this situation the least favorable thing is for one of the team members to discourage us.
"Do we have a plan?" Ororo said.
"Yes, we have a plan, Ororo you try to hit it with one of your rays, Jean tries to stop it, but don't try too hard, the same goes for you Ororo, as for the others, Max, you can throw one of those balls of fire at the rocket while jean stops it right". Kitty asked me after she finished speaking.
"Yes, although I'm not sure it will melt very quickly, I say in order to track us it must have some anti-mutant properties." I said with complete honesty.
"True, we don't know how high the temperatures of your fire are, but we know how high the temperatures of Scott's eyes are." Kitty said, then looked at Scott with a strange smile, a smile that appeared on everyone's faces, except Scott after we thought about what he meant.
"What's up guys" Scott said with a little fear because of how they were looking at him, but he was ignored.
"Colosso, you will use Scott as a weapon and aim at the rocket, I hope you have aim because if not, we will be lost." Kitty said, only to be reprimanded.
"That!". Scott said, but was ignored again.
"Other people, try to calm the crew, remember jeans and gold, if they try too hard there may be counterproductive effects on their powers, mental states and even their bodies." Kitty said a little worried.
"Don't worry, we'll only give what we can give, right Jean."
"Yeah, don't worry Kitty."
"Well, start, the missile is 300 meters away from us, I will give the signal for you to act." Kitty said.
The missile was approaching quickly, Jean, Ororo and Colosso with the laser weapon named Scott, got into position, when the missile was less than 200 meters away Kitty gave the signal and simultaneously Jean almost completely stopped the missile, while Ororo threw multiple rays at him, none of which had any effect.
"Colosso, shoot." Kitty said.
Colosso took off Scott's glasses as he charged him into a rocket launcher.
"Open your eyes Scott, quick." Kitty and Colosso said at the same time.
"Good". Scott said and then opened his eyes.
A powerful blood red beam shot from Scott's eyes directly at the missile, when Scott's beams hit the rocket, it exploded instantly generating a range of fire in the 60 meters around the rocket, luckily for us, we were at more than 180 meters from the missile and we were only affected by the shock wave to a lesser extent.
"Okay, done guys, you did very well."
"Thank you," said the guys in charge of shooting down the missile.
While we were happily celebrating taking down the rocket, I noticed a giant amount of red spots on the dashboard and I wasn't the only one as Logan and Laura noticed it too.
"Oh really". Logan said in an annoyed tone.
"Guys we have problems, more missiles are coming." I informed the rest of the team, who turned pale upon hearing that.
Before we could even speak a large explosion destroyed the aircraft.
After the explosion of the ship, a huge robot was analyzing the surroundings.
A few minutes later the robot began to move in the direction where the missiles came from.
