So, I really wanted to write a fanfiction based on the aftermath of the console game X-Men: Destiny. However bad and short this game was I still was happy for the try there was given to let us create our own mutants. I liked the three possible main characters and am going to write of a universe where they all live and develop powers.

Well, instead of just rambling on about it I'll go ahead and try it. I apologize if anything seems out of place regarding the setting, I am not a hardened X-Men fan, I have only watched the movies and read whatever comics Wolverine starred in.

Prologue

The battle was chaotic and the air around the battlefield was full of dust. As he sliced open the stomach of one of the MRD soldiers, Logan, aka Wolverine, choked for fresh air. He looked around himself trying to spot an ally, in the distance he could see Cyclops' Optic Blast flash across the length of the street they were battling in. The flashes of energy just behind that flash suggested Surge was making battle not far from that position. Finding no targets within his vision and his ability to follow enemy scent blocked by the dust he chose to aid them. He ran towards them, their silhouettes becoming visible as he neared. He heard their attacks and could hear the war cries from Colossus just beside them. When he got to them they had stopped battling and looked around with confused expressions. The MRD was retreating and all the controlled mechs were falling lifelessly to the ground.

"They did it?" Surged asked and looked up at the others. She dusted her top off while no one answered and looked around them.

"It seems so," Gambits voice sounded as he also joined them. "What about we have monsieur Wagner take us to them?"

Cyclops nodded and looked to Emma, she met found his eyes with her own, nodded and brought her fingers to her forehead – the motion she usually used when she needed to concentrate. A moment later Nightcrawler appeared in a gust of shadow and they all went to his side.

"They are all unharmed," Emma said. "It doesn't seem like any of them are injured, but let's see for ourselves."

She put her hand on Nightcrawler's shoulder and the others joined in. He teleported them all to the destination Emma instructed she could sense their friends at. They appeared on top of a smashed building almost entirely exposed to the clean air around it. They all turned their heads as they noticed a big lump of metal lying on the floor, surrounded by three people, apparently their newest members and Adrian.

"Freunde, there you all are!" Nightcrawler stated as if the others didn't see it. Across the rooftop they could see Magneto appear with his brotherhood. They all gathered around the three kids looking down at the scrapped mech they had just defeated.

"What happened?" Surge asked as she sat down beside the the machine containing the villain Luis Reyes.

"He just gave himself up to the authorities." Aimi stated and looked quickly from Surge to Magneto and then up at Cyclops.

"That will be us," Magneto declared as he went over to stand besides Adrian. "We have already declared this city to be our domain; we will see to it that justice is done."

"Emperors can fall," Grant growled at the armored man and clenched his fists, rocky matter appearing around them. Shadow emitted from Adrian's hands as he coolly turned towards him and stood in front of Magneto as a response to the threat. A bolt of energy shot in between them and they both looked at Aimi who had raised her hand at them.

"Enough!" She yelled, everyone taken aback by the ferocity of the petite girls voice. "We just ended a war, there is no reason we should start another."

Cyclops nodded as he traded glances with her and turned to Magneto. "San Francisco may be in ruins, but it still belongs to the people who has paid for their homes here; the citizens."

"Those same citizens who fled rather than defend what was theirs?" Mystique hissed in response. If it was not for his visor it would be obvious that Cyclops' stare flickered from one Brotherhood mutant to the other.

"Can't argue against that," Logan added, making Cyclops turn to him. "I have been called an animal my entire life, yet these people never thought twice before turning tail and run like a scared kitten when what was theirs was threatened."

"Logan.." Cyclops muttered but Wolverine just raised his hand to halt his speech.

"Don't worry Summers, I'm not about to turn on you," he assured the X-Men leader. "But we are in no position to make demands or decide for the humans how to respond. If they want San Francisco back then let them try. We should aid those who can't defend themselves."

Cyclops looked down thinking for a moment, then turning back towards Magneto.

"A deal then," he said, making Magneto raise an eyebrow and cross his arms. "You hand Reyes over to human authority and let any civilians left leave peacefully and we will walk without making a mess of this."

"You have ten days to evacuate people," Magneto stated, then turned around to leave, waving his hand for the Brotherhood to follow. As Adrian turned he heard Aimi call for him. He turned back and looked at her.

"Are you sure?" She asked him, perhaps for the fifth time since he has chosen as the only one of them to join the brotherhood. He nodded in response, shortly locking his eyes on her, giving her a cold expression.

Colossus placed a hand on her shoulder and gave her a reassuring squeeze. "He has made his choice little one; it is time for us to depart. If fate wills it he may come to us in time."

"Thank you." She said quietly smiling up at him. She turned to join the others who had all gathered in a small group besides Reyes who just laid and waited. Aimi looked up at Grant; at least one of them besides herself was going to join the X-Men too.

"Now comes a time of peace hopefully," Cyclops said to them, looking over the group. "However short lived that might be. I honestly can't say how this all will turn out, but at least we have another chance now. He looked over the city and then back towards the others again. "Time will decide what happens to San Francisco."
