Gwen, Bryant and Eavan
Gwen mussed Bryant's hair affectionately as she opened the back door.
"Eavie, don't be mean to your brother!"
Eavan smiled innocently, and ran outside with Bryant, while Gwen closed the door and went about her business.
Moments later, without a sound or a trace, Bryant and Eavan disappeared from the backyard, in the company of a large group of men dressed in army fatigues.
The kids were taken to an old abandoned warehouse, which had magickal seals of protection all over it.
It could not be traced or ported into at all.
~*~*~*~
Gwen looked out in the backyard about a half hour later.
"Kids, dinner!"
No answer.
She stepped out the door, folding her arms over her chest.
"Guys, we're having chocolate!"
Still nothing.
She turned around.
"Mordred, Fao! Have you seen Eavan and Bry?"
A feeling of dread began to fill her stomach.
Mordred & Faolan
"No, why?" Mordred said, standing up straight from where he'd been taking a bike to pieces and putting it back together.
He cast his mind wide, telepathic senses searching for his children.
"I can't find them."
"Me neither," Faolan said, telepathically and out loud.
He shifted into his wolf form and started sniffing around.
Gwen
Gwen took a slow step forward, looking around and shivering slightly.
"Mordred, I don't like this. Especially after what happened yesterday with Magneto..."
~*~*~*~
Eavan thrashed out violently as she was strapped down to a guerny.
"Let me go! BRY!"
She clawed several of the mens faces, screaming and crying out.
"LET GO!"
Bryant kicked out, hard, hands tangling in someones hair and pulling.
"Ah! You little shit!"
Bryant felt the wind go out of him as he slid across the floor, coughing up blood and trying to curl into a tiny ball.
Eavan scratched out again.
"BRY!" Eavan screamed.
"MY MUM AND DAD ARE GOING TO KILL YOU!"
"Ah, that, my little one, is where you'd be wrong."
The twins looked up to see a man standing at the door, leaning against the frame almost casually.
"What's going on?" Bryant wheezed out.
"You'll find out soon enough. Be good and maybe you'll be allowed to see each other again."
J made a motion as though he were tipping his hat good day, at them, then clicked and departed from the room.
Eavan let out a loud high pitched scream as she was ripped away from her brother.
"Eavan! Let her go!" Bryant weakly tried to get to his feet, but he was forced back down as his sister was injected with a sedative, and taken away.
A prick of a needle, and Bryant felt his own consciousness drift away from him.
~*~*~*~
Gwen walked over to Mordred.
"I really have a bad feeling about this."
Mordred & Xavier
"I'll grab Xavier. He can use Cerebro. You call Angel."
Mordred closed his eyes for a moment, casting his senses wide. In his office, Xavier stopped talking to Storm and focused on the call.
"Yes, Mordred?"
"Eavan and Bryant are missing. We can't find them with our powers. Can you look for them on Cerebro?"
"Of course."
Xavier wheeled himself out from behind his desk.
"Storm, I am afraid we will have to postphone this discussion...Mordred just contacted me. The twins have gone missing and he can't contact them."
Gwen, Angel and Storm
Gwen ran inside and grabbed the phone, hitting speed dial 7 and waiting for Harmony's voice to answer.
"Wolfram and Hart, Harmony speaking," the vampire chirped.
"Harmony, put me through to Angel. It's Gwen."
"Oki doki!"
Angel pressed a button on his phone and lifted the receiver.
"Gwen?"
"Hey, sorry, no time for small talk, but Eavan and Bryant have gone missing, Xavier's looking, but in case he can't find them, do you think - " Gwen's voice was panicked.
"Of course, I'll get everyone on it," Angel replied, buzzing for Gunn, Wesley, Fred and Cordelia.
"I'll let you know if we find anything."
"Thanks Angel," Gwen said, before hanging up.
~*~*~*~
Storm nodded and followed him out of his office.
"Can I do anything?"
