X-Men 4: Truths Unfold

Chapter 1

A/N: Hi! Well, this is my first X-Men Movie fanfic located on I hope you enjoy. Today is 5/27/06; I watched X3 yesterday and will be speaking of it. So be warned meager SPOILS Ahead! Do not read this until you have watched the movie and if you do... I warned you! So lets begin, kind of. (I redid this chapter and added on.)

Ororo Monroe stood outside a few feet from the balcony, three graves rested there, those of her friends a fire burning for the remained of time on one, the others bare in comparison, but missed all the same... if one not more to the shorter bulky man with claws beside her. Ororo's hand reached forth and took Logan's. "Let's get ready for another day, my friend." She squeezed it lightly a smile on her face, one he returned.

"Someone's gotta teach'em how it's done." Logan nodded. "He made a great choice, Stormy."

"Do you really think so? Can I handle running the school, alone?"

"But you aren't alone. You have me, and stripes to help you." Logan looked over to the kneeling girl. "Right Kid?"

"Of course, Ah mean if Ah can stay still?" Marie bit her bottom lip, Ororo held out a mocha colored hand and Marie took it with her own pale one - No powers or life forces were exchanged. Marie smiled at the older girl and stood up. "Ah'll be 'ere till the end."

"With Magneto no longer a threat, the cure destroyed after all the commotion and Jimmy freed... 'The End' is not something we have to worry about for a long time, Marie." Ororo lead the two inside still holding on to them.

Logan turned to look back at the graves, Ororo followed his gaze. "What is it Logan?" She questioned.

"Ever get the feelin somethin aint right? Like the calm before the storm?"

"Funny Logan." Ororo frowned.

"I ain't trying to be." He looked back at the two female X-Men. "Things... Just seem... To good."

"We'll worry about it as it comes." Marie smiled looking up at the older man with a cross between love and hidden fear. "Cause that's what we do, we trust in the world and save it when somethin happens... We're X-Men."

"Yeah..." Logan continued walking with the two girls.

-In a Park Not Too Far Away-

The dark haired leather clad once mutant walked head high down the stone path. She was stealthy and quick, her mutant powers now gone but she still had her skills. Her target in sight she quickened her pace, eyes narrowed green hardly showing.

"Erik." She hissed as she took a seat across from her old 'master' maybe master was a bit harsh, but she had been cast away as fast as an injured dog... one that only protected its master. He would pay.

"Raven..." The voice spoke in a light tone. "How nice to see... well, not a familiar face and not a friendly one by the expression..."

"You... cast me away like a old shoe, how could I be friendly. All I ever did was protect you, ironic isn't it? I protect you from the cure the first time and you go and get shot with it anyway... Bet you wish I would have been there to protect you the second time, huh?"

"Maybe I do... But then again, have you noticed anything Old Friend?" The once Master of Magnetism smiled lightly.

"Maybe I have, have you?" A smile flicked across her lips, as her eyes and eyebrows switched ever so slowly to that of the man beside hers. The smile widened as the chess piece floated for seconds above the board.

"Let the games begin- again." Erik took the females hand and gave it a light kiss. "And this time, I will not leave you behind for anything."

"You'd better remember that." She growled.

-Xavier's School For Gifted Youngsters: Five Months Later-

Marie smiled as she walked the halls dressed in a tank top and knee length skirt, flip-flops on her feet. She gave a frown as she spotted Bobby and Kitty talking a few feet away. Her hand tingled. It'd been doing that a lot lately.

"Hello Marie." Piotr smiled at the two toned headed girl.

"Hiya, Piotr." She gave him a high five. A sensation came over her she hadn't felt in over five months. Piotr held his head; Marie's breathing became quick, eyes closed.

"I'm sorry but I just got a headache." He held his head walking away.

"Hi Marie-" Kitty was cut off by a panicked scream from the girl. She was burning with dread. Marie side steeped Bobby and Kitty and ran full force towards Logan, who had just stepped out of the restroom.

"Marie-?" The words stopped as she reached out and touched his face; both locked eyes and parted after a moment. "Oh, my god."

"Logan, What's goin on? They said it was forever!" Marie's eyes filled with tears.

"Let's go talk to Ororo." The pair fled.

Bobby watched the two go, Logan arm around the waist of his girlfriend.

"Bobby? Should we follow?" Kitty tugged on his arm.

"No... She'll be fine. Hey Kitty, wanna grab something to eat?"

"I guess, as long as it isn't meat." The younger girl smiled up at him.

"Deal." Bobby took her hand lightly.

Yellow eyes watched the door waiting for an answer, sure he could go inside with his ability, why should he have to in this place where they were all friends? The door opened and a mutant Kurt hadn't seen before smiled at him, white wings from his back and golden locks. Kurt's hand fell to his cross necklace. "Good Morning." He offered a hand. "Kurt Wagner, or Nightcrawler. I need to speak to Ororo, the news has just reached me." Warren led the mutant in after shaking his hand and introducing himself.

In the office, once Professor Xavier's, the group of mutants sat or stood looking at the ground. Ororo was the first to speak, rubbing her hands down her thighs and taking a breath. "I don't know how it is the cure has... wore off, but I think we need to be on alert. If it's happened to Marie, it could be happening to everyone. It could cause a panic in the mutant and human society. I'll call Hank, see if he knows anything as of yet."

"It hasn't taken full control yet, Ah feel somethin first. Ah thought it was forever..." Marie held her head.

"Marie, maybe this is your chance to control your powers. You know what to look for now. We'll do anything we can to help you." Ororo placed a hand on the girls shoulder, nothing happened. "Trust yourself, we trust you."

"Ah'll try." Marie promised.

"Company." Logan said from by the door. Warren knocked and then entered the room, Kurt at his side.

"Kurt!" Ororo and Marie both jumped up and hurried to great him with a hug. Logan nodded his hello and looked to Warren.

"I wanted to say, before I left, I want to help the X-Men. I think I could be of use." Warren smiled. "I feel bad for just eating up the food and holding up a room. Plus, I really want to help in anyway I can."

"We'll see." Logan nodded, the girls still speaking with Kurt. "Go ahead down and eat up more food." He smiled lightly. "I think we may need you in the future." Warren nodded and left. "So what's up Fuzzy?" Logan turned to the blue mutant.

"I just heard of the Professors Death, and everything else that had been going on." Kurt had been in Germany, and had apparently not been watching or reading the news. They all sat down and discussed the events that had unfolded. Marie rubbed her hands together. The tingling feeling had returned.

"Ah'm gonna turn in." Marie smiled and stood up carefully hugging Kurt. "You'll be 'ere awhile, right?"

"Yes." The blue skinned demon smiled watching her leave. "I hate to say it, but I am glad her powers will be returned... even if she isn't."

Marie walked down the girl's dorm hall heading for her own room. She waved to a few friends and stopped hearing Bobby's voice, and Kitty's laugh. Biting her lip she walked over to the half open door and peered inside. Her eyes locked with Bobby's and she turned walking away. She couldn't handle it anymore.

"Marie!" Bobby called going to grab her arm.

"Don't touch me." Rogue warned eyes narrowed. Her body seemed to be on fire. "Go back to Kitty, Bobby. Ah mean, she must be what you really want; right?"

"Marie-"

"No Bobby. It's Rogue." The two-toned tresses girl turned around walking away.

"Bobby?" Kitty asked sticking her head out the door. "What's going on? Is Rogue mad?"

"Don't worry Kitty, she has no reason to be mad." Bobby directed the words to Rogues back.

Inside her room she dug through the closet till she located the box of old clothes, old was over doing it; clothes from before. She switched out her more revealing clothes for the old. Long black gloves and a light pink scarf, ankle length skirt and 3/4th sleeved button up shirt. A knock disturbed her. "Come on in." She forced a smile at Kitty. "Hi."

"Rogue, are you... mad at me?" Kitty held her hands behind her back.

"No Kitty, not at you. Ah mean it's not you... It's me." Rogue nodded lightly.

-Canada: Present time-

The female smiled as she walked through the snow, dressed in a heavy winter coat and boots, her short black hair pushed back behind her ears. She smiled noticing small bits of evidence that he was here. "VICTOR CREED!" She yelled making her presence known. A hand caught her throat and lifted her off the ground nearly a foot. "Sabertooth." She choked.

The man, if one could call the mercenary a man, smelled her then smiled lightly. "Mystique. What a change."

"A unwanted one... That soon will be changed." She smiled and switched her hairstyle. The black eyes of the killer shifted. "Magneto wants to talk to you."

"Maybe I'm interested, how much?"

"Nothing less than last time." The golden-eyed girl smiled.

-New York City-

The pyromaniac smiled as the mutants fought. It was a different career but one he had been good at all the same. Head of the mutant fights. He did miss serving under Erick Lesher, but one does what they can. Pyro turned as one of the guards came over. "What's up?"

"A man is here to see you, said you'd want to see him." The guard moved to the side and Pyro quickly dismissed him.

"Magneto?" The young mutant smiled at his old boss. He looked the man up and down and gave a smile. "Great to see you, what's up?"

"Might I have a seat?" before he gave the boy a chance to answer the chair flew towards the older man who smiled as Pyro's eyes grew wider. "I have come to ask for your help, once more... The last time it will be needed." He added with a smile.

"This is great." John had no idea the man hadn't killed himself. They had a lot of catching up to do.

A/N: So Warned about Spoilers. So you can't get pissy, guys. Review. The first chapter will be posted soon. It's Short I know. Next chapter is gonna have a min. of 3,000 words; so it could take a few days. Be patient. And thanks. I'm trying to decide on the couples, because there will be some. I have decided on Kitty and Bobby because they are so cute in the movie! I can't say about all of the couples I'm picking from because in later chapters more characters will pop up and I do not want to give them away. So if you could suggest couples for the following characters; Rogue, Jubilee, Ororo, Logan, Piotr, Warren, Kurt, and John. You can use characters from any of the movies, comics, and cartoons- OR submit your own originals. If you do an original make sure to include your email in the review so I can question you on them. I don't plan on making this story a romance but a few scenes to hint and all that.
