A/N: We're back for more action! This is the fourth story in my overly long series. Right here's the full summary:

The X-Men have found Phoenix's next place of attack and leave to L.A. to head her off, where someone there awaits a certain X-Woman. During a fight full of action (Or at least I hope it is), Rogue realizes her power isn't really the curse she believed it to be. Further along the X-Men learn what it's like to have friends being possessed.

Here's where the relationshipd stand: Rogue strongly dislikes Remy, who's in love with her, and Matt's still got a thing for her; X-23 hates Pietro's guts, Wanda and John are consistently flirting with each other, but who know's what Wanda's thinking; Kitty's dating Piotr, Jubilee's still with Bobby, those two are obvious. Scott and Jean were planning on getting married but with the Phoenix, who know's whats going to happen? Oh wait... I do! I know what's going to happen!

So read my story, hopefully you like it and reviews are very, extremely helpful!

Story of a Guilty Heart: Tough Decisions

Prologue

A man in a metal suit filled up a syringe with a shining blue liquid. His red eyes narrowed in concentration as he tried not to spill any of the blue substance. He was standing in a dimly lighted room.

Don't spill any of it. A quiet voice warned inside of the man's head.

"Don't worry master. I won't lose a drop." He said in a focused and reassuring voice. A minute later the liquid let out a small puff of green gas and the needle was filled to the brim. "It's finished." He said to the empty room.

Good.

"Anything else?" He asked, knowing very well that he needed nothing at the moment.

No. So be gone!

"Yes. Of course." The man tucked the needle onto his brown belt loop.

Make sure you don't miss.

"Yes master."

And be sure nobody's watching Stryfe. If anyone sees it, this mission will be a failure and the whole plan will be ruined.

"Don't worry. It'll happen so fast they won't know that she was hit." Stryfe said, a sly grin making it's way to his face.

Just make sure it all goes right. Every word stressed.

"You have nothing to worry about." Stryfe swung his cloak around him and disappeared from the room, without a sound.


A/N: That's the prologue. The first chapter will be coming soon.
