Hello everyone, this is the sequel to My World of Minds. I hope you all enjoy it. Given the fact that I started this before I saw Apocalypse (which was awesome) this story is AU.
Still don't own X-Men. Just Lizzy and my other OCS.
A Threatening Shadow: 1
2001
Chapter I
Lizzy's POV
It's been five months since Jean and Scott got married and Jean is two months pregnant. Wow, time flies. Jean is glowing and beautiful. We all can't wait till we find out if the baby is a girl or boy.
I've been spending lots of my time around Rogue, Bobby, Kitty, Peter, Kurt and Hank. I've also been trying to keep busy and not think of Logan. I wish I could say I don't miss him, but that would be a lie.
Hank sits down with me at lunch. "Hello Lizzy," he says, sitting across from me.
"Hi Hank, what have you been up to?" I ask him.
"Oh you know, the usual, Forge and I are coming up with improvements to the blackbird," Hank replies with a sense of pride.
"Wow, that's cool, what kind of improvements?" I ask, genuinely wanting to know.
Hank answers with big long scientific terms that I understand, I've must been hanging around him a lot.
Then I see Kurt. "Over here," I shout to him.
"Fräulein Lizzy," Kurt says as he sits next to me.
"So have you heard anything from Logan?" Hank asks.
"What makes you think I've heard from Logan?" I ask.
Kurt and Hank just look around and smile. Have I really been that oblivious?
"Just because," Hank says.
"Not for two weeks," I say, unable to hold back a sigh.
"I'm sure that you will hear from him soon," Hank reassures me.
"If he doesn't get around to it, whatever," I lie.
"Sure," Hank mumbles.
"So Fräulein, are you going to six o'clock Mass with me again this Sunday?" Kurt asks.
"I was planning to," I answer.
For the last three weeks Kurt and I have been going to this Roman Catholic Church that allows mutants. It was at six in the morning, Fr. Bartholomew had told us about it one week, when people in the church wouldn't stop starring at Kurt. He had told us that if we wanted he always says mass at six in the morning and would love having us attend the Mass. It wasn't in the bulletin, so we could go without anyone starring.
Xavier mansion and the church near it are like a home to me. There is one problem, maybe it's my imagination, but I feel like someone is watching the house. I don't know if it's FOH, MARD, or someone else, but I feel like there it someone watching. Professor Xavier also thinks someone is watching us, but he can't sense them. So if there is someone, than they have some way of having the professor not able to read them, not the most peaceful thought.
"Hello Lizzy, please sit," Professor Xavier says as I walk into his office.
"You wanted to see me about something?" I ask, sitting in the chair across from him.
"Yes I wanted to tell you that I would like it if you would join me in recruiting a few more students, they are both the same age as you and I think you could help," he explains.
"Of course Professor Xavier. May I ask one question?" I ask.
"Of course?" he replies, placing his folded hands in his lap.
"Where are we going?" I ask.
"Gettysburg," he replies, with a smile.
Charles's POV
Lizzy just looks at my goofy smile in confusion, she has no idea that Logan is at Gettysburg.
"So what powers does this person have?" Lizzy asks.
"Persons," I explain. "Andrew and Ashley Scott, they are twins. They both are 20 turning 21, like yourself. They're power is illusions. His is more of a more violent natural, not very harmful, but makes you believe that those around could be under attack, or even yourself. Whereas with her, her illusions are more beautiful or can make everything appear normal, which would come in handy when we need to break into a place with video cameras. Their weakness is if the other gets hurt or dies. The other one doesn't get hurt or dies, but their powers will be gone or weakened. To sum it up, if one gets hurt the other has their power weakened," I finish explaining.
"Wow, that's different then most powers," she replies.
"Yes, I know, apart they aren't very strong, but together, their powers are amazing," I explain. "Or at least from what I've seen."
"So when do we leave?" she asks eagerly.
"Tonight, so you should probably pack now," I suggest.
"Okay," she replies.
She heads out of my office and I hear her go up the stairs. I wonder if we'll run into Logan while we're there. If do I can't wait to see her surprised face. I mean I might be an old Professor, but even I don't mind a little fun.
Scott's POV
Jean is two months pregnant and she looks lovely. Unfortunately she has been getting sick in the morning, but I'm always there to hold her hair away from her face.
She is always is craving something these days, hamburgers, chocolate candy bars, watermelon, grapes, and a whole bunch of things. But she can't stand the smell of chicken cooking. If anyone makes it, she has to eat somewhere else, and you can forget her ever making it, unless you want a mess.
So it's been kind of hard, but mostly we are very happy together. I'm so happy we are having a baby, I'm so excited, I even asked Charles if we could have a room next to us for the baby. Jean thinks the baby will be a girl, but both of us just want a healthy baby.
I step into our room. I look over at the bed a see Jean asleep, I noiselessly take off my shoes and climb into the bed beside her. I slowly brush the hair out of her face and kiss her forehead. She stirs, but then gets back into a comfortable position. I wrap my arms around her and then I feel her move around to face me.
"Scott?" she asks, sleepily.
"Hey beautiful," I reply, kissing her cheek.
"How did the training with the kids go?" she asks.
"Well, they are learning more each day," I reply.
"That's good," she says, resting her head on my chest.
After a few moments of silence I hear her breathing slow and I can tell she is asleep. I kiss her head and let sleep take me as well. I mean what's wrong with taking a nap with my lovely wife.
Lizzy's POV
I'm all packed, all I have to do is wait for the Professor. I wonder why he was looking at me like he knows something I don't. Well I guess I'll just have to wait and see. But what ever it is I think it has something to do with Gettysburg.
