Fixing the Past
Disclaimer: I don't own anything X-men wise.
Summary: What if every mutant on the planet suddenly lost their powers? And because of that, chaos ensues. One silver haired quick talking mutant must go back in time and find the root of the problem to prevent the tragedies of the present.
A/N: Hmm.. I
don't normally write X-men fics that aren't centered completely
on Kitty Pryde, but here you go!
The coupling will be Kietro, as
you will soon find out. & I hope you enjoy!
Pietro Maximoff blinked, feeling the rays of sun seeping in through the hole-ridden curtains decorating his windows. He slowly sat up, something he normally never did. He trudged out of bed, feeling completely dead. In his sluggishness, he waved his arm pushing the small digital clock on his bedside. He made a move to catch it, but he was too slow. It merely crashed to the ground, silently mocking him. Pietro frowned. Something was very wrong here.
Feeling panicked, Pietro ran out of his room. Yes, he ran. Not zipped, not zoomed, ran. Making it to the kitchen in his slowest time ever, he looked around frantically. The only inhabitant of the kitchen happened to be none other than our local rock tumbler, Lance Alvers. He looked up from the milk carton he was downing and raised an eyebrow in question at the normally hyper and quick speedster.
Pietro strode to Lance's side and grabbed ahold of his shoulders. "Something's wrong. I can't use my powers. Or I don't have my powers. Or I-don't-know!"
Lance let Pietro's words sink in. Something was definitely wrong when Lance could fully hear and understand Pietro's sentences. He frowned and shook Pietro off of him. He clenched his fists and concentrated his energy at the ground stationed underneath him, just like he always did. Nothing. Nothing happened. Lance stopped, puzzled.
"Yo! Guys! What the heck is going on?" Todd Tolensky walked into the kitchen, his hand in his hair. He looked like a regular kid, maybe a bit messier and dirtier than the average kid, but he looked like your average Joe. Following behind him, a skinny Fred Dukes entered the kitchen. ((A/N: I have no clue what would happen if their powers were gone. I mean, since Todd is a 'Toad' if his powers were gone, wouldn't he just be a boy? And as for Fred, since he's a 'Blob', wouldn't he be a skinny boy? Eh I dunno, work with me here!
Pietro and Lance caught each others' eyes. Yeah, something was definitely wrong. And they had to do something about it. But on the bright side, Wanda would definitely be easier to handle.

Professor Charles Xavier took off his helmet calmly. He wheeled out of Cerebro without a word. Once making it down to the main room, he encountered a very peeved Logan. "Charles. There's something wrong with all of us." ((A/N: For everyone's accents and ways of speaking, I'll try my best but don't hold it against me!
To prove his point, Logan clenched his fist and attempted to bring out his claws. As expected, nothing happened. To emphasize the point even broader, he waved his other hand towards the parlor where the X-men were gathered. They looked exhausted and battered. "During the middle of our Danger Room session, those kids suddenly couldn't use their powers."
"Professor, what's going on?" piped in Kitty Pryde.
Professor Xavier shook his head. Before he could utter a word, a buzzer sounded, signaling that there was someone just outside the gate. Logan went to the intercom and barked, "What?" The nervous chuckle of none other than Lance Alvers could be heard through the intercom. "We're having a bit of a problem on our side." Logan growled, extremely unhappy with the thought that he couldn't slice the life out of the Brotherhood.
When Logan didn't respond, bickering amongst the Brotherhood could be heard. "I told you we should have just broken in." chimed in the irritated voice of Pietro. "Without our powers we might as well do the honors and shoot ourselves and save the high tech security system the trouble." growled the angry voice of Lance.
Professor Xavier signaled for Logan to allow the Brotherhood in. Hesitantly, he pushed the button opening the gate. The relief was so strong that it could be felt throughout the room. "I don't know if this is a good idea, Professor." Scott voiced. "It could only be us with the power shortage and we could be allowing a trap." Professor Xavier rested his hands on his lap. "That's a chance we're going to have to take, Scott."
Kitty sighed heavily. "I have a BAD feeling about this…."

A/N: How was it? Whew, I didn't even get to the whole point of the story yet. But that can be saved for the next chapter.( Let me know if you like it or have any suggestions for it!
