Chapter 1 Almost gone.

Set in AU before Apocalypse entered the series where Storm and Wolverine are together, and the other couples as follows Jean and Scott, Kitty and Lance along with a few others that don't need to be mentioned. Today is Saturday and with spring break most of the students have gone home to their families leaving the mansion almost empty. The only residents remaining at mansion being the teachers and Kurt with Magma, James and Iceman. The X-Men have found themselves lately to be having a lot of free time and are surprised. When a few of Magneto's old followers attack one of the biggest banks in Bayville.

Storm and Wolverine were forced to take Magma, Iceman, Kurt and James with them for back up since Magneto's ex-followers are stronger than your average mutant. James and Kurt were used as distractions to try and slow down the criminal mutants so Storm, Wolverine and Magma with Iceman could take them out. Little did the team know that one of the criminal mutants had the ability to create illusions on a large scale. One of the mutants created an illusion of civilians trapped in an apartment block that is on fire. Kurt and James act quickly falling for the illusion Kurt teleports into one of the apartments while James ran into the building leaving the very few duplicates he created to slow down the criminal mutants. Soon after Kurt and James entered the empty apartment block one of the criminal mutants who possess the power of geokinesis uses her gift to crack the foundations of the apartment and cause a tremor under the apartment block causing the apartment block to fall in on its self. The tremor and shock of the apartment block falling in on itself break Kurt and James out of the illusion. Kurt immediately teleports out to safety. James, on the other hand, isn't that lucky as he runs for the apartment door a small part of the ceiling comes down hits him on the head!


The criminal mutants used the destruction of the apartment block and James unknown condition from the apartment block collapse to evade the team and escape with the money they stole. The team had to work together and fast to find James under the rubble of the apartment block. Storm used her powers over, the weather to create a wind strong enough to pick up rubble from the destruction. While Magma, Kurt, Wolverine and Iceman try and find James. Locating Gideon under the rubble proved difficult and when they found James he was unconscious. The team took James back to the mansion and handed him straight over to Hank. Hank worked quickly yet professionally to assess James condition. James would survive his injury even though he would be unconscious for a while. While Logan, Storm, Kurt, Magma and Iceman are trapped in their minds of guilt and worry for young James in a local motel lies three men a set of twins age 24, with a man, aged 20. The twins have brown eyes and black hair. Although the twins are identical they had a few features that set them apart. Michael the eldest twin has short back and sides hairstyle with no sign of a beard. While his twin Edward has a spiky hairstyle with no beard also and Michael tends to wear leather jackets unlike his brother Edward who wears denim normally. The twenty-year-old man has blue eyes and short blond hair and wears tracksuits mainly in green and the three are sat down watching the news on the small TV. On the news report, it shows an image of James and a video of the apartment block collapsing shortly after Kurt and James entered.

"The boy he has Kenzo's powers" Michael the eldest twin commented.

"True and he has our mother's eyes but we're going to need more than a similar resemblance to prove he is who we're looking for," Edward replied to Michael.

"A DNA test for starters and the only way we can get a DNA test is actually getting a sample to test from the boy and we have no idea which hospital he was emitted too" Nick points out.

"All we have to do is figure out which hospital the boy is in and take a sample to be tested than we can rule out if the boy is the one we're looking for," Edward says.

"Agreed" Nick and Michael tell Edward.

"Let's hope we can figure out which hospital the boy is in now," Nick said.

"Why not start with the people that appeared to be his teammates if we can identify their identities and where they live it might help us find which hospital the boy is at" Michael suggests.

"I guess we can give that a go" Edward spoke as he pulls out his laptop out of its bag and turns it on the motel bed he sitting on.

"While you start trying to figure out their identity do you mind if I get a quick shower"? Nick asks.

"Sure" The twins replied.

"Great," Nick said as he got up from his bed and walks over to the bathroom door and just when he opens the bathroom door does his older brother Michael says something.

"Don't even think about taking your time in there I've already done my fair share of the work today" Michael comments.

"Yep and all I do is sit around all day and watch football," Nick says in annoyance before he enters the bathroom to get a shower.
