Chapter one: Revelation
"Thank you to you all, we have avoided disaster. It wasn't without its price, however, but like steel forged though fire we have been made stronger. I know this, because I have glimpsed in the mind of Apocalypse. Many challenges still await us, but I have seen some who have been our enemies become friends, and, with a heavy heart, I have seen those who have been our friends become the most terrible of enemies. I have seen my X-men grow and change, and of course those who will never change. But, no matter what awaits us, terrible or wondrous, the X-men will always stand ready, and for that I am proud."
"Keety? Keety?" Kitty then came back to reality.
"Oh, sorry, Kurt. I was just thinking of what the Professor said yesterday." Kitty was seated at the kitchen table with Kurt. A cup of hot coco in her hand. It was getting colder at the Xavier institute; the chili that comes with every October was upon them.
"Is it bothering you?" Kurt asked.
"No, I just was wondering what he meant when he said that our friends will become the most terrible enemies." Kitty looked down at the sweet drink. Kurt always makes it sweet. She thought.
"Well, I guess , we'll just have to wait to find out."
Kitty was about to say something, when Scott suddenly popped in.
"Hey, have you guys seen Jean?" Scott asked.
"I think she's still vith the profezzor." Kurt told him.
oOo
"Professor, I'm quite alright." Jean was seating in an armchair with Xavier across from her.
"I know Jean; I just want to make sure that your powers are not going out of control." Xavier told her.
"My powers are fine Professor. I just need some rest." Jean told him.
"Alright, then. Goodnight Jean." Then Jean left the room.
Professor Xavier sat in his office for only a second, when he heard a scream from the hall.
He quickly rode out of his office to see a hole in the wall. Xavier then saw Kurt lying on the other side of the wall. Kurt had cuts on his legs, arms, and a gash below his left eye. Then Xavier heard crying down the hall. He went towards the crying and saw Jean holding her knees close to her.
"Jean? What happened?" Xavier asked.
"Kurt… came up to me… he… said… 'Hello' and I… forced him into a wall!" Jean began crying again.
Xavier knew this was the beginning.
