As the class continued, soon drawing to a close, the last class of the day began. there seemed to be tension in the air, as if the teachers all expected something else to happen. The high alert atmosphere was enough to drive Kalinda crazy, and she stayed in the shadows of Romanoff's class, wishing she had Kyle with her. In such a short amount of time, she had grown use to his strong emotions, and had started to use it as a buffer. Yet it wasn't simply just that. Kyle himself was just...well, good for her. She sighed, and went through whatever Romanoff wanted, although her moves weren't as well as they should have been, exhausted as she was. A few times she very nearly fell. 

She was so relieved when the class was over, that she felt like she could have wept. Her first order of business was finding Kyle. And then Griffin and Zack, to see how the rest of their day went. Yet as she drew close to Kyle, she sensed something wrong, and stopped dead, looking about her, narrowing her eyes as if that could help her spy something wrong. [i]someones there...[/i] but where? the illusion fell around her, around kyle, and anyone else near. And then suddenly Kyle was gone, disappearing in what seemed like the blink of an eye. 

She heard something, like a soft snick, and she forced the illusion to break, crying out as she saw what appeared to be a plane hovering, before taking off. Shaking, Kalinda tried to bring it down, but she was so damn tired, and there was the fear she might hurt Kyle. As panic, fear and wory began to overwhelm her, Kalinda threw out her empathetic net, searching for Griffin and Zack. Their unique combination of emotions were easy for her to track, and she ran, stumbling a bit but keeping her feet, towards them. 

"Griffin! Zack! The woman has taken Kyle!" she nearly crashed into them, not even knowing where they were, "We have to find him" and if the woman had taken one, she had probably taken others.

Elsewhere, Phoebe was just coming out her class, making her way to the gym, she figured Ryan would find her sooner or later, and she kept a look out for Katherin, and Tsura. She could quite easily find Tsura, by reaching out to the little minion who, she figured, was happily riding on Tsura's shoulder, but that seemed a bit invasive. The little minion would have its own life now, and probably be a valuable companion to Tsura. It certainly seemed to enjoy the girls powers. 

She was walking, when all of a sudden it seemed like she was alone. She frowned, sure she had been walking next to someone, glancing about. In that split second of indecision, Something caused her to freeze, an invading prescence in her mind, that paralysed her. 

The last thing she remembered was being dragged into the inside of a...container of some sort. Was it a ship? She didn't know. It was like something was simply telling her to...sleep.

Elsewhere, Tsura, LIght and jasper would be experiencing similar things. In the end, five were kidnapped. Bruce stood behind a stage that had been erracted for the assmbley, frowning as Clark spoke. 

"Most of the students have arrived for the assmebly, but it appears a handful are missing. We have Mimic, and the beast searching the grounds, but...I think we have to go to the worst possible scenario here, Burce. Some of the students have been taken" Clark seemed oddly nervous, and Bruce glanced at his old friend. 

"Who?"

This seemed to be the question Clark dreaded, and he gave a sigh. "Five, in all. Tsura Eisenhardt, Storms Son Jasper, the girl Light. And...And Kyle and Phoebe"

Bruce closed his eyes. [i]Phoebe...[/i]. He had faith in his daughter, but there was still the irrational fear a parent had for their child. It was the same irrational fear he had had, when watching from afar, her learn to walk. The fear that now that they are mobile, just what danger can they get into? When her powers manifested, so much eearlier then either he, or Pamela could know, there had been the fear that she would be found out for who she was. When she had come to the acadmey, there had been fear. Fear that she would become something great, and he'd have to watch her risk her life, every day. Now...[i]come home to me, Phoebe, soon.[/i]. And Kyle...how could he tell Dick that he had lost his son? 

Because of the contract, they couldn't interfer. This was the next generation, not their own. If they interfered, they'd be risking their children's lives. They had a duty to keep their children's identities hidden, and give them the chance to grow into their powers and abilities. they couldn't interfer. But the children could. 

"Tell Stark and Xavier to be in my office shortly. We're putting together a task force. Lets see who has the makings of a true hero"

Bruce swept past Clark, and to the stage. He wasted no time. "Earlier today we had an attack. We were prepared for this, as the last few months we have had word of a new Villian rising. Her name is Penelope Jones. She was a graduate of this school. She goes by the alias Augurey. Many of you are now aware she has the power of Illusion, and telepathy. We now have reason to believe that she has taken five of your class mates. Jasper. Light. tsura. Kyle. And Phoebe" Here, Bruce faltered, before continuing "We are putting together a task force. Who will be apart of it?"

Bruce's gaze roamed over the students, seeming to weigh them one by one. 

Connor Stark was the first to rise. The young man had proven himself quite adept. Compasionate, dedicted, and strong, the boy certainly had intelligence-perhaps beyond Bruce's own, and his fathers. And now he knew the boy was brave, and loyal. He certainly had the makings of a true Hero. 

"I will. I might not know all those taken, however I do know this: We can't allow someone to come here, and take our own. I'll do what needs to be done, and I'll bring everything I have to the table. We'll get them back, Sir" There was such conviction in the boys voice, that for a brief moment, Bruce felt as if all was right. He nodded, and glanced over the students once more.
