Lorna sighed softly as she looked at them. "I told you that you would not believe it." Shaking her head. "But a powerful young psychic has seen these things herself. She described them to a T as if she herself had been there as well."
She rested back against Archer and sighed softly. "Whether the two of you believe Andy's story or not isn't the point here. The point is that there is a real and imminent danger. I've had several run-ins with the Sentinels." She looked at Jason. "That's how Alex and I got split up in the first place. Well, after the last and final arguement we'd had." She frowned as she remembered that monumental fight. The one where she'd told him that she'd wanted nothing more to do with him. That it was over for good and that she wasn't in love with him any more.
"I spent the better part of the rest of that year running from them until I'd made it safely back to the Institute where they'd nursed me back to help. That's when I met Andy. And at that time, I had no idea of his story."
She took a deep breath, exhaling sharply before continuing. "Then, a few days ago, I was out walking when I'd heard a loud explosion and saw smoke and flames coming out ouf a building. As I'd entered, I came face to face with those damnable things again. But I then realised that I was not the only one in the room. I couldn't see who it was at the time, I just knew they needed help. So, after we disposed of them, I took the man I'd helped out of there back to the medical wing where Andy healed him. And if you haven't figured it out yet, that man was Archer."
She'd been idly running her hand down Archer's cheek as she'd been speaking. And it still caressed as she continued. "While he was healing was when I was told the entire story of how Archer came to be here, and of Andy's truth. I found out that Andy is my nephew, which really boggled my mind. And I've met the man who will be Andy's father. His name is Rook. He's a fairly big man, but i think you'll both like him quite a bit." She smiled with a chuckle. "And of course, in that small space of time, which with Archer here can be made to feel like days if he manipulates it, we fell in love."

"Okay, I think I get it now, And I'd love to talk with Andy there, This bastion guy is basically the devil, and he is going to systematically exterminate us which he may even have already started doing as early as twenty years ago. He's built up prisons out west, and now he's trying to gather support, since the world will notice if we all just up and disappear. Now he's got permission to loose these sentinals on us, which makes matters worse. Yeah, This has to end, the future doesn't need to be seen to figure out where this is going isn't good for any of us. "

He kissed her cheek, His nod validating her statement as he looked at Jase, and Betsy. They seemed to at least believe that action needed to be taken now, That was enough for him to be confident of their aid

Lorna nodded. "Yes Jason, he certainly needs to be stopped. And you're right, some of it has already begun to happen." She leveled her eyes at Betsy. "And I will warn you, Betsy. They plan on taking out all of the telepaths first."

Betsy almost fell off the loveseat. "What??" She sat there shaking her head. "Do you realise how many of us there are?" She trembled as she spoke. "Oh..." She sighed, "That's exactly one of the reasons why they would do that. Because there are so many telepaths. And some very powerful ones who could just use their powers to practically mind control the operators of these Sentinels and those that work with this Bastion person to stop them."

"Well Damn, We need to get back to the Mansion then, Start preparing. We'll have to warn all the faculty about this. " He moved to stand, Heart racing hard against his chest, these where his friends, and that first strike threatened three people ke new and had really grown to like, the professor, Betsy, and Jean. He wasn't gonna sit Idly by while it happened, nor was he going to stop until Bastion fell flat on his face.

Lorna spoke up as Jason began to stand. "I'm certain the Professor has already warned the faculty at the Mansion, Jase. And he plans on warning Magneto. The two Brotherhood members who were here have gone to seek out their other members to warn them of what is happening and hopefully get their cooperation to help. We're already putting the wheels in motion as we speak. Already have a bit of a game plan. The two of you will have to meet Rook sooner or later so that he can go over this plan with you two as well."
She slid out of Archer's lap and stood. "Relax, we're not just sitting in here playing house you know." She smirked

Jase CHuckled, "I kinda figured you two were already on top pf this. So what are we doing, And where do Betsy and I fit in? We aren't about to let you two have all the fun now are we? What kind of friends would we be if we did that?"

Betsy chuckled at Jason and nodded in agreement. "Why, we wouldn't be friends at all if we just turned a blind eye to this, or our backs on our friends." She shook her head solemnly.

Lorna looked at the both of them. "As I said, you'll have to meet Rook soon. He is the best at coordinating the planned strike since there are three targets. He can assess your abilities and figure out where the two of you would be of the best help."

Jase smirked, "Sounds like this Rook guy is a lot like the professor, An answer for every problem. When can we meet him? And where did you find him, I think we might need a small army like that if we can find more. How this Bastion guy slipped past the Professor and mag neto is something that really bothers the hell outa me. Normallly they'd already be planning themselves on that front. " He sighed, Getting in over your head again Jase? He thought as he sat back down, but then again he liked the odds, He'd always wound up on top of the up hill battles.

Lorna's eyes almost crosses as Jase asked the questions rapidly. She held up a hand as if to say, hey now... hold up. "Rook found us actually." She laughed. "And we're glad that he did."
She looked at her tow good friends with a smile. "We're having another meeting in a few days, here. You can meet him then."

"We'll be there. I'll keep robot5s away from Betsy here till then. Not even a blender will get close. " He smiled as he spoke, Knowing full well Betsy could handel herself against a flesh and blood foe, but machines could prove problematic.
