When I saw you
You were full of light.
You shone more than the stars
And the sun was jealous of you
Because of your beauty.

The people want you
They wish for you
They cry for you
They love you.
But nobody knows that you exist just for me

A smile of yours is better
Than all the words
The people say.
And if you'll always be with me,
I'll not need God and his Heaven
Because my sky, my life, and my light is you

Don't stop to smile and shine!
I cannot breathe without them.

Kill the enemies and come back to me
There's no reason to survive
If you're not here to protect me.

Hey all! Demonlrd here with, you guessed it, a new story!!! This one happens to be a sequel to my other X-men Evo fic Muti-Prison, but don't worry! If you haven't read that you can still read this one! I mean, it'll probably help if you read the first one, but you'll still get what's going on.

Note: I'd first thought of doing this first chapter as a song-fic (cause I heard this song and was like "OMG it's PERFECT!!!") but instead I just made the title of each chapter a song and started it off with a few lines.

Other note: This story is rated for language, violence, drinking, and other adulty themes I can't mention without giving away what's gonna happen. Also, please ignore the categories. They tend to change a lot as the story goes along. I don't even know why I select them

Thanks all for listening to my announcements, I own nothing that isn't mine, and please enjoy the prologue to my latest story Love Song (although that title might change so if you have any ideas... tell me!!)

Prologue: Broken

Cause I'm broken, when I'm lonesome, and I don't feel right, when you're gone away.

The bartender watched the black clad figure warily. The only people who covered themselves up like that were thieves and mutants. He'd never really been comfortable with the idea of mutants mingling with his 'normal' customers, but with the equality laws being passed left and right, he had no choice. The figure sat at the far end of the bar, completely covered by a long black trench coat, black hat pulled down tight, shadows blocking out its face. The bartender shook slightly as he walked over.

I need this business, he reminded himself. A lot of people won't go out now that the muties are legal.

"What'll it be?" he asked, trying to hide the quiver in his voice.

The figure pulled a large glass out from under its coat and placed it on the bar. "Jack and Coke." A black gloved hand pointed about halfway up the glass. "And don't let it fall below here." The bartender started to protest but the black gloved hand slammed a hundred dollar bill on the table. "When I leave, you keep it all."

"What if the tab's more than a hundred?" he asked, looking for the loophole.

Another hundred appeared on the table. "I don't care."

The bartender mixed the drink, adding a little more whiskey than necessary. "What you runnin' from, kid?" he asked, prepared for the brush-off that normally accompanied his inquiries.

"The past."

The black gloved hand not holding the drink pulled out a wallet and proceeded to pull out a picture. The bartender gently took it and immediately dropped it on the table. It was a faded picture, worn by handing and love with a crease down the middle from being folded and unfolded. It showed of a group of kids, they couldn't have been more than sixteen, seventeen years old. Standing beside them was a gruff looking man of probably thirty… with knives extending from his hands. One boy was covered in ice, another boy and girl in fire, a third boy was blue, the boy beside him had hands that glowed. Two older boys stood in the back, both appearing normal. But one had strange black on red eyes and his arm protectively around a girl with a tiny tree growing in her cupped hands.

They were mutants. Not only that, he knew them. He'd seen them on T.V., in the paper, on the news:

The X-men

This chapter was originally going to be longer, but I saw that last part in my head, and I could see the camera zooming in on the picture and the title fading in over-top and then it would cut to the credits and... yeah.

So hit that magic review button and lemme know what you think. Also if anyone has any ideas for a title, tell me.... I only chose this one to stick with the theme of the titles....

Thanks for stopping by, hope to see you next chapter,
