Ultimate Shades of Red
A Short Forward

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclaimer: It belongs to Marvel, not us. But we can pretend, can't we?

Ultimate Shades of Red is a foray between myself and Kabanas into the dark, sexy world of Ultimate X-Men. While it is canon up to Weapon X, it's parallell universe in the manner of character relationship development. Confused? Just read on. As always, inside jokes run rampant in our fics, although this time we've provided you the source of the vast majority. We think you'll be amused. We certainly are.

Now, Kabanas and I enjoy delving a little deeper into our characters than some people. Evidence: Jean and Scott have DeadJournals. Yes, real DeadJournals. The people who try to sign up for one without access codes hate us for using ours on FICTIONAL CHARACTERS. They can shove off, we say. So in a few places in the fic, you'll encounter comments regarding said journals. You can find them here:

Jean's: http://www.deadjournal.com/users/royalredness
Scott's: http://www.geocities.com/crimsonstud

We would appreciate if the sanctity of the journals was not sullied by comments and replies to their posts, please. They live in their own little IC world. If you need to comment on the fics, review us. Will write for reviews.

Quick warning: This IS posted in the RP format in which it was written. Don't like it, too bad. We do. Krista takes the reins for Cyclops, I'm responsible for Marvel Girl.

That said, we hope you enjoy the time we put into things like this.
Without further ado, on to the first chapter...
