Rating: PG (character death, bizarre humor)
Universe: Ultimate X-Men
Feedback: Fork it over, Bucko!
Archive: Uh huh. Just tell me where.
Summary: "They died instantly..."
Notes: This is a response to a fan fiction challenge on the X-Fiction email list, challenging writers to write an X-Men fanfic beginning with the sentence, "They died instantly." Since no restrictions were given on length and tone, I came up with this (and had to apologize to a few people afterward). This story takes place following the events in Ultimate X-Men #12, where Rogue and Juggernaut join the Brotherhood of Mutants.
