A/N: Okay, here is yet another story. It takes place during the movies (it might even go beyond them). It will focus more on X3. Basically, it brings some characters that were not in the movies into the movies. This chapter focuses on the changes in X1.

Disclaimer: I own nothing. The mystery character in the chapter is from the comics.


X-Men, The First:

The train station had cleared after the small fight between Sabertooth, Toad, Cyclops, and Storm. A dark figure stood watching as Magneto pulled the guns out of the officer's hands and pointed them at them. The person did not pay attention to what was being said, just stood unnoticed off to the side.

The second Magneto used his powers to pull the trigger on one of the guns; he reached out and stopped the bullet.

"Care to press your luck, Charles? I don't think you can have Jean stop them all." Magneto called out. If he only knew.

When Xavier released the hold of Sabertooth and Toad's minds, the helicopter arrived to take them, and Rogue away, had he allow the bullet to drop to the ground.


Xavier had entered Senator Robert Kelly's mind. He watched as Kelly watched Magneto use his machine. He noticed how the light did not affect Mystique, Sabertooth, or Toad. The light also showed a figure who would have been hidden in the shadows. He was not able to see the features of the person, only his back. He was dressed completely in black and had pure black hair. He stood watching as Magneto was weakly pried from the machine by Mystique. With this Xavier pulled himself our of the senator's mind.
Liberty Island, it was a place of freedom, yet a battle was raging between two very different mutants groups. A dark figure stood a little ways under the plate form on which Rogue was trapped in an electromagnetic field. He was not far from Magneto, and if the mutant looked in his direction, he would not see him. Wolverine went flying over towards the machine with; no doubt, the help of Jean and Storm as Wolverine could not fly.

Reaching out he used his own powers to help the Wolverine get a hold on the machine. Magneto obviously noticed Wolverine and he reached out and manipulated the field to manipulate the metal in the other mutant's body.

An optic blast from Cyclops hits Magneto sending him flying down onto the ledge bellow, the figure reaches out and works to stop the machine, but is stopped when a piece of it hits him violently in the head sending him flying off the tower and down towards the water.

Jean stood watching from where she stood next to Scott and Storm. Scott had just released his optic blast, obviously hitting something and the machine stopped emitting its power. She also vaguely noticed a figure flying down towards the water, it wasn't all that clear as it was clothed in pure black but she was sure that she saw it disappear just before it should have crashed.

For some reason Jean also felt more free, as if something had been lifted from her mind. She also felt as if she had just been punched in the stomach and had the wind knocked out of her.


A/N2: I have have the next chapter typed right now. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find a script (like the version that matches the movie, I used the novel for X2) for X3. I can't find one anywhere and I kind of need it for the rest of the story at this point. Thanks.
