Divided we fall

I don't own x-men etc etc. but I wish I did : - (besides if I owned x-men I wouldn't of posted this, it'd be in the comics! Duh!)

AU Set in an evolution way kinda way. Gambit lives with Pyro and Sage, he never went to sinister for help in controlling his powers instead Xavier helped him, and Mag's never recruited him Pyro or Colossus. What will happen to Remy when he meets Rogue? How will he react to the other x-men? I don't really know yet…so suggestions are welcome. A lot of Romy eventually, maybe Jott, probably Jonda etc.

Authors notes: this is my first fanfic so be gentle! My fav characters are Rogue, Gambit Wanda and Pyro. My sister is helping me, she luvs Sage too so she'll be in it a lot. Don't really like Scott so EXPECT A LOT OF Scott vs Remy but he was cool in X-men 3. I'll try to loosen him up a bit…no promises

I'm usin' ma sisters log in thing too. 'Cause computers don't like me.

THIS IS THE SISTER: ACTION DOESN'T COME TILL WAY LATER SO HOLD ON! She likes prologues and givin' intros to stuff so people get the idea of what she's on about. Consider yourself lucky, I had to proof read the lot and agree to new stuff she put in. I have to admit though, the story is getting interesting and funny. We discuss stupid things that could happen, you're in for a treat!

Prologue

World Summit

Xavier looked over his audience. Some of the most powerful men and women on the face of the planet were gathered to listen to and participate in the most controversial issue of the 21st century. Mutants. Trask had just ripped apart Xavier's previous argument; no thanks to Eric Lensher's most recent terrorist rampage in several of the U.S's more prominent cities. Oh Eric, what am I going to do with you? Every time we are close to a brake through, you just have to do something to enforce and wrongly confirm these people's fears. Massaging his temples Xavier spoke again.

"My dear ladies and gentlemen; by endorsing this barbaric sentinel programme you will be striking fear into the hearts and minds of mutants and non-mutants alike. Confirming their worst fears of being unfairly targeted and jailed because of their genetic make-up. You I am sure would not imprison everyone with blue eyes, purely because their eyes are blue? This programme will encourage mutants young and old to join Magneto's ranks and support his terrorist ideas because they will be scared! Scared of the people… the government who should be protecting them! Can you not see this my friends? History repeats itself time and time again, only showing itself in different lights. You have a chance to change the status quo of history! I know many young intelligent mutants who strive to use their powers …their gifts, for the good of all mankind. Ladies and gentleman I have one simple question for you. What would you do if when you go home tonight, tomorrow or next week and your child came to you, believing you to be the one person they can trust, and told you that they were a mutant? Would you cast them out? Or embrace them and offer all your love and support, and promise to stand by them no matter what? Would you then support this sentinel program?" Looking over his audience Xavier saw most in deep thought. A few however looked as though the concept of having mutant children was impossible and repulsive. One looked like he was about to explode. Trask.

"Yes! Professor Xavier, you are fast gaining the title of: defender of mutants! You have certainly argued your point. However these mutants are dangerous! The global public have their god-given right to know who and where these mutants are! Whether or not these mutants are in their cities, towns, neighbourhoods or their children's schools, do they not! I have witnessed with my own eyes the devastation caused by these so-called freedom fighters! Magneto has recently destroyed prized American landmarks in New York, San Francisco and Chicago. Do you see this as benefiting all mankind? These mutants are dangerous Ladies and Gentlemen, and therefore need to be regulated … controlled by a force capable of pulling off this great feat." Trask received a large round of applause; smugly he looked over to the crippled Xavier expecting to see defeat written across his face.

Professor Xavier sighed, this is turning out to be a very long day… retaining a neutral look across his face Xavier once again, after the applause had died down started to speak.

"You licence people with guns and give out driver's licences General Trask, these people are just as dangerous do you not agree? Not every mutant is dangerous, in fact a small majority are. Not every mutant sets out to hurt or kill others. A criminal … a robber with a gun sets out with little doubt that if anything should go wrong they will use their weapon. A child plays with his parent's gun and accidentally fires it, hurting, maiming or god-forbid kills someone with it, are they to blame? Was it not an accident? Can you punish them? Children with the X-gene, in general, gain their powers between the ages of ten and fourteen, and often during periods of heightened emotional stress, if their powers should suddenly be activated and they accidentally destroy something or hurt someone are they to blame. They did not know. How can you prosecute a child who did not know what it was they were doing?"

"Yes professor, we licence these people to carry fire arms and drive cars, but we do not licence these mutants…"

The debate raged for another two hours. Xavier was tired and frankly pissed off that any one could be as narrow minded and stubborn as Trask. Logan walked behind him grunting every so often saying how pig-headed Trask was; Xavier let a small smile spread across his moth, as he felt Ororo struggling to contain her laughter from Logan's grunting and colourful insults. As they got closer to the professors hired BMW, Ororo burst out laughing as Logan repeated his grunting and pouted.

"What's so damn funny Ro' case ya didn't notice that Trask prick used every trick in the book and got to half the people in there before we even stepped into this bloody country!"

Ororo put her hand over her moth to try and stifle her laughter before struggling to answer "Noth...nothing Logan it's just your acting like a three year old who's just been told that they are not going into the plan pen at wacky world.1"

Logan cocked an eyebrow at her and carried on walking. Xavier and Ororo followed on close behind, barely keeping straight faces.
