Disclaimer:
All characters belong to Marvel. (duh!) I ain't making no money offa this so y'all better lay off my case. Besides, even if I were trying to make money I can't draw worth a hill of beans, so it wouldn't matter anyway.Why this story?:
I've always wanted to see what would happen in the GenXers and the New Mutants met each other (thanks, of course, to Illyana's time hopping power.) What would a younger Sam think of his sister's being taught by the White Queen? What would Sam's teammates think of his future buff self? How would the former NM react to seeing their deceased comrades. Well, kiddos, that's what I'd like to know.So, without further ado, welcome to a world that is "unimaginable"
Story still in progress any comments or suggestions are welcome.

"I can't believe that the professor would leave us in the care of that…that man!" Illyana Rasputin sunk lower into the sofa, hugging a turquoise blue pillow to her small frame. Her outburst was met only with silent nods from her teammates. "I mean, look at him! The high-almighty Master of Magnetism and he feels like he's got to keep us locked in the mansion just because of a harmless rainstorm!"
"Och, Illyana! Hold yuir tongue! I'm sure that he's got a reason for keeping us in the house tanight." Rahne Sinclair piped up from across the room. Illyana grumbled in response. Rahne sat up straighter. "Besides, tain't proper fer ye to speak o' Magneto in such a manner! Tis sinful!" She jumped as a bolt of lightning lit up the sky. An arm reached across the sofa and mussed Rahne's red hair.
"It's not a sin to speak your mind, Furtop. 'Yana's just venting. I think we're all a bit angry with Magneto right now." Danielle Moonstar smiled and grabbed the remote from Roberto Da Costa. "Okay, Bobby, I think we've all had enough of Magnum PI at this point." She proceeded to flip through several channels. "Here we go! This is more like it!" The entire crowd groaned as the opening strains of "Full House" filled the rec room.
"What's wrong with this? A program of this sort teaches family values!" Rahne interrupted.
"Gimme that! Y'all are actin' like a bunch o pre-schoolers! If we cain't agree on sumthin' then Ah'll just haveta turn the TV off!" Samuel Guthrie leaned over from his seat on the floor and switched the television set off.
"Sam! What'dya go and do that for? We could've watched a movie, you know." Doug Ramsey sighed from next to Illyana.
"What? Some foreign flick that only you could make out?" She hit him playfully on the arm.
"It could've been in Russian…" Doug mumbled.
Shan Coy Manh interrupted what she saw to be a brewing fight. As the oldest member of the team, she felt it was her duty to keep the younger students in line – especially if she was going to be stuck in the rec room with them until the storm was over.. "Look at us! C'est terrible! We are fighting against each other simply because we've been grounded!"
Dani and Sam, co-leaders of the New Mutants caught the others' eyes from across the room and nodded in agreement. "Shan's right. I know at first we didn't trust him, but Magneto hasn't steered any of us wrong yet. Besides, it does seem pretty bad out there." Another crack of lightning raced through the sky.
"Where's Ororo when you need her?" Bobby sighed and leaned back into the sofa, grabbing the pillow from Illyana's lap.

"Ah said hand ovah that remote control or Ah'll git really angry wit' yuh!" Paige Guthrie was usually embarrassed to speak with her Kentucky accent – except when she got really angry. At the moment, she was engaged in a full out war with Jubilation Lee.
"Yo, Hayseed, tone down the southern belle act, kay?" Jubilee snapped the wad of chewing gum in her mouth. "We all know you're not sweet and innocent especially now that the whole world knows you got a thing for Jono."
Paige's eyes hardened and her voice raised. "What'd y'all say? Who said Ah got a thang fir Jono? Ah don't! Ah used tuh, but now Ah – now I don't." She desperately tried to calm herself down. After a few seconds, Jubilee settled back into a channel surfing position allowing Paige to tackle her and grab the remote from her hands. "Fir the fifteenth time, Ah ain't watchin' reruns o Full House!"
*Girls, stop this fighting right now!*
the telepathic voice of Emma Frost interrupted their argument. *You know that I specifically allowed you this study time so that you'd study. Now, I suggest you do so before I give you an extra assignment to work on.*Jubilee snapped her gum again. "Yeah, alright, whatever, Frostie." She proceeded to forge another bubble. Paige watched as the bubble increased in diamater. Their teammate Angelo Espinosa raised his head from a game of solitaire as well.
"Madre de Dios! That bubble is going pop at any second, chiquita."
"Just let her go, Ange. We'll see how well she can watch television with Bubble-Yum all over her face." Paige smiled as a small explosion shook the room.
"Jubilee, that is an extremely childish way to behave. In the short time that I've known you, however, I've come to expect some idiotic tendencies, but this by far exceeds any expectations of your character that I have ever had." Monet St. Croix did not even raise her head from the novelization of "Les Miserables" that she was reading.
"Yeah, like readin' the dictionary is my idea of a good time." Jubilee mumbled under her breath. "And what're you laughin' at, Ev?" her angry gaze wandered over to the second of her best friends, Everett Thomas. As much as she hated to admit it, she also considered Paige a good friend.
Everett's eyes twinkled. "You're hair's pink."
"What'dya mean my hair's pink?"
"It's got gum all over it!"
Jubilee cautiously felt her head. "Aww, man, I'm gonna haveta cut half of this junk out!"
That's what you get for not listening to Miz Frost, gel Jonothan Starsmore "said" merrily.
"Shaddup, Jono!"

"Do you think it'll stop soon?" Doug looked over to Dani sitting next to him. The rain was still pouring down in sheets in front of the window pane.
"I don't know. It's been going on for awhile now." Dani sighed.
Sam agreed. "Ah jist wish there was sumthin' t'do!"
Shan smiled as she absently flipped the channels on the television. "Rahne could always use another makeover. Illyana's been in there with her for over an hour!"
"I can't believe she let her touch her!" Bobby laughed.
At that moment a very made-up Rahne emerged from the bathroom after a very pleased Illyana. "She looks great, doesn't she?" Illyana said smugly.
"I cannae believe I let ye put this on my face!" Rahne rubbed her face with the back of her hand. "Tis itchy!"
"You look very nice, Rahne." Bobby complimented her. Noticing her blush, he added "Really. You do."
"Thank ye, Roberto. I still do nae think I'll wear this often."
The six teenagers sat in silence for a few moments until Illyana grew exasperated. "This is ridiculous! C'mon! We're getting out of here right now!"
"Illyana! We can't just up and leave, besides where would we go?" Shan interjected as a pink stepping disk began to appear beneath them.
"Somewhere where it's not raining!" Illyana laughed as a large thunderbolt hit not too far from the school.
