Loika laid curled up in the cabin of the yacht next to Neal. He hadnt done anything to her. At least not physically. Mentally she was hurting. She had no idea how long she had been here. How long it had been since she had seen Peter or Mackenzie.

Neal didnt seem to understand that she couldnt stand prepackaged meat. It was so... dead. She had to hunt fresh. She was like a wolf and could go a while without eatting. She was still feeling weak. She laid there opening and closing the matching locket she and mackenzie shared. A few tears rolled down her cheeks and she bit her lip to keep back a sob.

She had enough. She was going to do it. She could see sunlight through the window. She slowly eased Neal's arm off of her and tiptoed out of the cabin of the boat. She blinked when the sunlight hit her eyes. It was so bright out here. 

She watched some seagulls fly by. She couldnt see land from where she was but gulls had to land someone. Hopefully they were heading back to land. She rushed to the edge of the boat and jumped the rail. She was going to get out or die trying. She started to sink when she hit the water and panicked. Her instincts kicked in and she shifted. She was doggy paddling but it was weak and the waves were really tossing her. Her head bobbed under the water repeatedly but she kept kicking.

Sara was returning from another sweep. Her tail glided her through the water gracefully. She swam up to the small fishing boat and shook her head at Jason, peter, and natasha. " Im sorry... still nothing. Im trying to talk to the sea life but they are pretty reluctant. Boats around here chase them alot. Ill keep trying but this could take a while. Im sorry peter im really trying." Sara had been in the water for a while. She wouldnt be affected by the cold and she was in great physical shape but it was just mentally frustrated. She rolled in the water and dissapeared under the waves again. Her brightly colored tail was the last of what was seen as she dove.

Peter's faith in finding Loika was slowly fading. What if he never found her? What if Ackerman took her to another country and made her his prisoner? The worst kind of thoughts kept on pouring to Peter's mind. He couldn't have stopped thinking of anyone else but Loika. Nothing mattered to him more then Loika and finding her. The only good thing that came out of it, was that everyone tried to help Peter to find his love and their student. When Sara came from under the water, Peter looked down at her and then, dropped at the side, as if he was getting seasick. His hopes and dreams were like a candles, slowly melting until there was nothing left of it.

"She's got to be here somewhere, if only I could swim fast enough to join you I would." said Peter as he looked down at the water. Peter felt helpless, powerless. There had to be something he could do to help everyone else. Just sitting and waiting was a mental tourture which Peter could no longer take.

A tell-tale 'swoosh' in the sky above signaled Storm's return as well. With Sara in the water, and Ororo searching from the air; certainly they would have to find the one boat with the one person they were looking for. It was only a matter of time.
But how much time did they have? All that Storm knew of this Ackerman kid was that he used to belong with the X-students, but defected to the Brotherhood.. and that his powers were similar to her own.
Ororo had faith in her little 'family', however broken it was. They would find her, and if necessary, she would show the young and arrogant that X-Men were not to be pushed around or taken for fools.
They look after their own, and they work together. One solo boy couldn't be strong enough to take all of them.. no matter what his skills were. Not that Storm had ever met her match yet!

"We will find her, I promise." Said Storm, as her toes touched the ground, and her eyes went from pupiless white back to their normal ice-chip blue. She smiled at Peter, trying to get his spirits up.
"Or find a scared little boy curled up in a corner, and an angry wolf-girl wondering why it took us so long."
Miss Faelith was a fighter, for certain. More than once during the search, 'Ro had imagined it might be Ackerman they should be feeling sorry for. Especially true if Logan and Peter managed to get to him.

Logan steered the small fishing boat and kept it slow. He dropped the anchor so that Mrs Andrews could easily find the boat if she found anything. He was impressed with the headmistress. She joined the students and bonded with them beyond what she needed to. She was a mother to these kids. And jesus did some of them need it.

His head jerked around when the wind blew into them. A seagull flew over them. He was looking in the direction is flew from. He couldnt be sure with the sea air but he swore he smelled her scent on the wind. " Sara North east! I think i smell something!" He didnt bother waiting for her response and raised anchor. " Everyone keep your eyes out!" The small fishing vessel sped through the water.

Sara was talking to some sea creatures trying to get information. She was on the surface talking to some migrating sea lions and getting ready to dive when she hear Logan shouting. He must really be worried about this kid. Had all these years softened to old man?

She waved her hand to signal she heard him since she was too far away to be heard. She saw him starting up the boat. For all of their sakes she really hoped they found Lula.... alive. She kicked herself for thinking that and took off through the water. She could swim very fast and was actually able to keep up with the boat. She was better than that and passed the boat, swimming ahead of it and hopping out of the water like a dolphin.

When boat moved suddenly, Peter grabbed hold of the side where he was standing, out of fear of falling into the water. The last thing he wanted was to be cold and even more miserable. Something was going on, and Peter could sense it. Logan would never do anything without a reason and there had to be one. Looking up at Ororo, Peter smiled weakly. Nothing could raise his spirits but only finding Loika could make him happy.  "If we find Ackerman there, I will personally send that asshole to hell myself. Nothing can stop me," said Peter as he pulled away from the side and walked over to Logan and front of the boat.

Loika was struggling to keep her head above water. Her legs were getting tired from struggling to keep her head above water. She had swallowed more water than she cared to remember. She didnt want to give up but her body couldnt go on anymore.

She was starting to sink when she heard the rumble of a boat engine. She panicked and looked around wildly. She was afraid Neal had woken up and realized she was gone. It wasnt his boat though. She kicked her legs harder and waved her hands over her head. She tried to scream for help but her screams were cut off by ocean water in her mouth.

The constant thought of Loika kept crushing against Peter's mind like waves crashed against rocks. He had no idea not having Loika near him would prove so difficult. He closed his eyes and kept thinking of what might happen to her if they didn't find her. Sometimes, Peter wished he didn't have anyone to worry about, but he could never imagine life without Loika.

Then, he heard water thrashing around the boat, and then someone's arms sticking out of the water. He lunged to the side of the boat and bend closer to the water, only to see Loika. "IT'S LOIKA!" yelled out Peter. "STOP THE BOAT, WOLVERINE!"
Without thinking about all the consenquences, Peter jumped into the water and began to swim toward Loika.

Loika couldnt keep up with the kicking and struggling anymore. She was exhausted and starving. She was pretty sure she hallucinated the boat and seeing Peter jump in the water. He would certainly freeze to death out here. She wouldnt freeze because of her body temp... but him. She slowly started to sink under the water.

Logan stopped the boat when Peter yelled but it was a boat after all and still took a few moments for it to completely stop. He yelled after peter when he jumped into the water but there wasnt much he could do. The boy was already in. He dropped the anchor and ran to the edge of the boat. He could see Sara swimming after Peter but where was the squirt?

Peter kept on swimming toward Loika as fast as he could. Adrenaline filling his mind, as he fought to stay with his energy. When he saw Loika disappear underneath water, he inhaled a mouthful of oxygen and dove right after her. There was no way he was going to lose her again. He was looking for her too long and he didn't want the cold ocean to have her body. Peter kicked his legs and moved his arms in a way that suggested he was sweeping something off the table. Peter had to grab Loika before she disappeared deeper underwater. The pressure kept on pressing in Peter's ears as he made his way closer to Loika. He was afraid that Loika might not have enough oxygen and Peter wouldn't have enough time to swim back to the top before he ran out of oxygen.

Then, Peter grabbed Loika and before he started to descend above water, he kissed Loika and gave her some of the oxygen he had kept reserved. After that, Peter kicked the water around him and started to swim to the top. He just prayed he had enough time before all hell broke lose.

Loika felt his arms around her and his lips on hers. It had to have been a dream. If it was a dream it was a damn good one. One she could hold onto for a while. When they broke the surface she gasped for air and coughed out some seawater. She looked around dazed. She started to tense up when she saw a boat but realized it was not Neal's yacht. " Peter... its really you." She said with a small smile.

Peter continued swimming toward the boat where James was, while holding Loika with his free hand. He helped her out of the water but he didn't realize how cold he was. For a summer, it was oddly cold. He hugged wet Loika and smiled at her. "Yes, it's me baby." said Peter. "I need you to concentrate, how far is Neal's boat..yacht..whatever. Which way is it?" asked Peter. What he had in mind wasn't going to be pretty and most likely destroy Ackerman along with him if he isn't aware of it happening. "Please, take me to him, I have a personal goal to settle with him."
