This story starts at episode 18...

I watched the fight from a distance. I itched to help them, no I can't it isn't right...those robots will learn and get better with every move they make. that fuzzy elf dude was trying to get another guy inside. Then I had an idea. Not all of the X-men were there...Shadowcat was missing. I concentrated on the front hall of the mansion. With a flash i was there. Sniffing the air I found the missing X-men.

"What are you doing here?" A young woman walked forward. "Who are you"

"I am a mutant just as you are" I walked into the light. "I am Cassandra but just call me Loner."

"Ok Loner how will you be able to help me protect the mansion and keep Tildie safe and calm."

"I can make bad things happen around me, I can shapeshift into anything, I can teliport up to fifty miles, I can read minds, I can calm someone with a meer touch of my hand, is that enough for you?"

"Yes, yes!"

Suddenly someone started banging on the door. "We are going to search the premisis with the athourization of the u.s. goverment!"

"Let him in" I told Shadowcat.

"What?"

"Must I do everything myself?" I walked up to the door and opened it "Hi may I help you?"

"This is the known home of the mutant group the X-men" The man said beconing more MRD agents forward.

"Didn't anyone tell you, the x-men have evacuated long ago and I got the deed from the goverment" I said sweetly.

They didn't look convinced.

"Not convinced, eh?" I said a little less sweetly "Well get a load of this!" the pavement cracked beneath his feet and he fell. I heard him shout code 10.

"Hmmm, I wonder what code ten is?" Shadowcat asked.

"That!" I yelped, a huge spider like robot blasted its way in...

"Oh no the others are in trouble, I gotta go can you handle this?" I cried over to Shadowcat.

"Ok!" She shouted back.

I took myself to my former veiwing spot. The brotherhood had arrived. Things were dwindling down. I knew I had to act now. I appeared on top of one of the robots and pulsed a bad luck charm into it. The robot shorted and fell. I barely had time to teliport beside the blue guy.

Nightcrawler's view...

The stranger who disabled the robot appeared at my side. I had little time to take in her image.

"It won't last long" she said "I need to short it again!"

She ran extremely fast, not unnatural like quicksilver but still. She put her hand on the robot and seemed in deep consentration, muttering something. She then flashed back to him.

"Who are you?" I asked extremely confused. Was she part of the brotherhood?

"I am loner"

She was gone before I could reply. She appeared atop a building. She seemed to light up the darkness that surrounded her. When she opened her mouth to speak something pulsed through the air, I almost missed it.

"I am here to warn you!" her voice came from everywhere, and everyone heard, "Mutants and humans alike! The dangers of bringing artifical intellegence in this world are high. Blood will be shed on both parts and no one I repeat no one will win. I shout for a ceasefire, fifteen days of peace, those who break it I will be there immideately and the consquences will be worse than death!"

She held out her hand and all of the robots rose up in the air, disfigureing and were shoved together in a heap of metal. the metal dropped to the ground almost hitting Logan.

She appeared by him. I walked up to them.

"Hello Logan nice to see ya again" she said normally.

"I see that as usual ou have to have an entrance and an exit, Loner"

"Wait you two know each other?"

"Yes he tried to recruit me to be a member of your precious x-men she sneered." she paused "I should go"

She dissapeared once more.

She reminded me a bit like Wanda in personality so it was kind of nice meeting her even here. "I think that maybe we should try recruiting her again"

"No we can't she has a family" There goes that option.

"A family?"

"Yeah three mutants she adopted recently. Ones three ones nine and one is twelve"

"Is that so?" At least there was no father in the picture and why am I thinking about that I've known her for what five minutes?

"Yeah she has kept me posted for a while now, and she's pretty" Logan laughed. "She's a smart one that is, she lives on a farm way out of the way so that she's less likely going to get caught."

I tried to imagine that fierce woman caring for little children and I just couldn't see it. Her eyes had something about them that just...wait they changed colours. From brown to red and then brown again.

"Wolverine!" a bit of static came from the latter's pocket. It was Loner's voice.

Wolverine pulled out a small communicator "Loner?"

"Yes its Loner now prove your identity"

"I am Wolverine, also known as Logan, you accidentally carved a microscopic x in my third talon on my left fist."

"Confirmed"

"And yours?"

I looked at him strangly. What the hell were they doing?

"I am Cassandra known as Loner to most," she paused "And I am a cousin of the Scarlet Witch also known as Wanda"

"Confirmed what is the problem."

She's Wanda's cousin?

"They found us" dread dripped off every word she spoke. "They took Cindy and Grace"

"What about Trixy?" he paused she's not...dead is she?"

"No she tried to protect her sisters but when she couldn't protect them she hid so that she could tell me...smart twelve year old"

"Good so whats the plan?"

"I want to come to your x-men with Trixy and we'll go from there"

"when will you be--"

There was a flash of light and two figures walked from the darkness.

"Making an entrance again?" Logan asked.

"Who's this?" Bobby walked over to see the two women.

Storm came over as well as angel and Rogue. The little girl beared so much resemblance to Loner that no one would have doubted that she was her daughter. Suddenly Rogue gasped "Cassie?"

Loner looked over at Rogue and did the exact same but moving torwards her. "Marie?"

Suddenly they both ungloved their hand Rogue her right and Loner her right. They touched their hands together. I wondered why neither of them tensed. "Cassie" Rogue whispered "Cassie!" She suddenly started laughing.

They hugged both of them smiling.

"Am I missing out on something?" Logan asked, I was wondering the exact same thing.

"Logan this is my sister!" Rogue said breaking the embrace.

And you would think a guy covered in blue fur that had a tail wouldn't be surprised by something as coincidental as this but I was.
