'Thinking'

*Telepathy*

/Talking on communicators/

This is the first story I've posted on , but I have an account on . My account name on AdultFanFiction is LadyAlexiel or LadyAlex for short, couldn't get the same name!! This story Universes Apart is also on if anyone wants to read the uncut version!! Please let me know what you think!! There will be SLASH and YURI undertones through this story!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!

Pairings: Jean-Luc Picard/Beverly Crusher, Charles Xavier/Lilandra Neramani, Jean Grey/Scott Summers, Deanna Troi/Mystique, Data/Rogue, Beast/Gambit, Will Riker/Nightcrawler, Storm/Logan, Jubilee/Weasley Crusher

Summary: Q discovers an Earth in an alternate universe. Curious about them, he decides to see how these primitive humans, or should he say mutants, will fare when they meet the crew of the Enterprise.

This will mostly take place in the Star Trek: The Next Generation Universe, but will also have parts from the X-Men Universe as well. There will be many characters and events from both Universes. In X-Men it will take place before the Phoenix manifests in Jean (though the events will unfold much differently!!). In the Star Trek universe, the only event I'm sure it's before is the trip to Kesspritt III, I know that in my story Data will have his emotion chip, and able to control it, but other than that I don't know what other events will have taken place or not!! If I use any events from Star Trek: TNG they probably won't be in the right order! I have been watching them lately and they appear randomly, so they're not in order...I apologize in advance for any mistakes!!

Just a little side note, this is the first time I've tried to make a Star Trek: The Next Generation fic, so I apologize in advance if any of the technical stuff sucks!! I'll try my best! I don't know how old Jubilee and Weasley are so I'm making them 16!! Also, Nightcrawler is found sooner than in the show for the purpose of my story!!

Chapter 1

Q had discovered this alternate Earth about a week, and had been exploring, particularly the house of a man named Charles Xavier. 'These 'mutants' are quite interesting!!' Q mused to himself as he watched them invisibly. 'Hmmm...I wonder what they would think about them...' With a mysterious grin he began his plan. 'With a little...persuasion, I can put my scheme into motion!!'

Charles was abruptly awoken by the emergency alarm blaring through the entire house. 'What now?!' Sighing heavily he moved into his hoverchair and quickly made his way to the war room. Everyone was gathered in the room by the time he made it there. Moving over to the console, he pulled up the emergency on the screen. It showed communications of one of the scientist's on the space station. He was saying they were under attacked by mutants before it was cut off.

"Alright," Charles started, turning to look at his assembled team. "Scott, Logan, Rogue, Nightcrawler, and I will 'persuade' NASA to allow us to accompany them to the space station. The rest of you will stay to monitor our activity." Everyone in the room stared at him like he'd grown a second head. Charles was just as surprised as they were, he hardly ever went on a mission, or set up teams like this before. But he felt a strong urge to plan the mission like this, almost as if someone were directing his actions. But that was impossible!!

Shaking his head slightly to clear his confused thoughts, he set about explaining his plan to the assembled group.

Jubilee knew this was a bad idea and realized the trouble she was going to get in when the Professor found out. 'I always get left out of missions! But not this time!!' She had stowed away on the X-Jet that was to take them to the launch site and was now hiding away on the rocket that would take them up to the space shuttle. 'I'm going into space!!' She thought gleefully as she heard the count down from the speakers.

*Charles' POV*

We made it to the space station fairly well and stepped inside to see that nothing appeared out of the ordinary. "What is going on here?" Logan growled as he moved into the area. I used my telepathy and found no one on board but us and the scientist that came with us...wait. *Jubilee!! What are you doing here?!*

'Um...sorry, Professor! I...just was tired of being left out!!' I heard her response and sighed aloud. *Well...you might as well come out now!* After a minute she had made her way into the room behind us, looking sheepish.

"What're ya up to squirt?" Logan asked, raising his eyebrows at the spiky haired mutant.

"Didn't want to be left behind...again!!" I stared around the room in confusion. 'It looks like no one's been here for months!!' Suddenly the scientist we were with moved away from the group and I frowned. Scanning the man I came to a realization. 'That's Mystique!! What's she doing here?!'

I had just thought that when the ship was suddenly hit by an unknown force. Everyone was thrown randomly about the room. My hoverchair was thrown into a console, it stuck into the metal and I heard sparks begin to fly. Thinking fast, I ejected myself from the chair and quickly rolled away from the console just before it exploded along with my chair. The blast from it threw me into a wall. An immense pain raced through my right side, and smelled burning flesh as I heard a soft voice whisper through my head saying, *Please!! Don't die!!* I vaguely remembered that voice from my dreams before I felt the darkness take me over...

Lilandra gripped the controls tighter, praying that he could last long enough for her to make it to him. He was hurt and she needed to get to him!! 'Please!! Don't die!!' She had been having strange dreams staring the man named Charles Xavier. There was some kind of link between the two of them, even though he was so far away. 'I...don't understand it!! But I know he's in trouble!! I have to make it to him quickly!' She knew the two of them were meant to be...

Captain Jean-Luc Picard was pacing his rooms. He was extremely nervous, he was having dinner with Doctor Beverly Crusher tonight. It's not like they hadn't dinned together. In fact, they had breakfast just about every day and dinner quite a bit. But tonight was different, he wanted everything to be perfect. He was going to ask her to take the next step in their relationship.

The two of them had been extremely close friends for many years now, and there always was that fine line between friendship and intimacy. Picard was hoping that she would be ready to step across that line. He was afraid that she was going to reject him. But he had to know if she was willing to overlook what the rest of the crew would think, and just BE with him. 'Please let this go right!!'

Beverly hurried down the corridor from her rooms. She had been held up in sickbay and had had to rush to get ready for dinner. 'I hope he isn't mad that I'm late!' She thought as she rang the chime to his rooms. Instead of his usual 'Come' Picard answered the door personally.

"Hello, Beverly." His smile set her blood on fire, her eyes devoured his form. He was wearing tight fitting black pants and a tan shirt that had a long v-neck, revealing his chest to her questing eyes. Beverly had to swallow hard and forced her eyes to his face before she was able to answer.

"Hello, Jean-Luc." He held out his hand for her. She took it immediately, allowing him to lead her inside and to the table.

Beverly and Jean-Luc ate their dinner with companionable conversation, with Picard trying hard not to stare at his guest. She was wearing a blue sweater that clung to her curves and was cut so one shoulder was bare, enticing him into feeling her smooth skin. She had on a black skirt and matching nylons. He had to force himself not to reach out to touch her. He had impeccable self-control, but tonight it was at its limit.

They moved to the couch after eating to have a glass of wine. Picard waited a while before taking both their glasses and setting them on the table. Turning to Beverly, he took her hand in both of his. "Beverly," He said softly, locking eyes with her as his thumb stroked the back of her hand. "We've been friends for a long time now, and I feel like we should be more...I want to take the next step." He swallowed hard, as he saw the indecision in her eyes.

"Jean-Luc...I..." Her voice wavered and she turned away, hiding the tortured expression on her face from him. She wanted to take that step, very badly, but there were too many things she was afraid of. If she got that close to him, and he got hurt badly enough that she wouldn't be able to help him, that would tear her up inside. "I...just can't..." She whispered, feeling tears sting her eyes.

Beverly quickly pulled her hand out of his grasp and stood up to leave. "Goodnight, Jean-Luc..." She said as she moved to the door, missing the hurt look on his face. Suddenly the entire ship shook, causing Beverly to stumble. Picard stood quickly, tapping his communicator.

/Picard to Riker./

/Riker here sir./ His first officer responded.

/What's going on?/

/Sir, it appears we were hit with a space station./ Picard's eyes widened.

/A space station, Number One?/ He responded incredulously.

/Yes sir./

/I'll be there right away. Picard out./ He turned to say something to Beverly but she was gone already. Sighing heavily, he quickly changed into his uniform and headed to the bridge.

"Number One, report!" Picard commanded as soon as he stepped off the turbolift.

"There are 7 humanoid lifeforms onboard, all of them unconscious." Riker responded immediately.

"Humanoid?" Picard questioned, moving closer to the view screen to see the space station. Several pieces broke off from the impact with the Enterprise and were floating in the vacuum of space.

"Yes, Captain." Data responded this time. "They appear to be human, but there is something different about them. It is unknown at this time what that is, a closer inspection is in order. Also, the space station they are in has not shown up in any of our data banks, but it appears to be quite primitive in design."

"Thank you Data." Picard stated, turning to Riker. "Number One, prepare your team."

"Right sir," Will answered. "Worf, Geordi, Data, you're with me." Tapping his communicator he said, /Doctor Crusher, please meet us in transporter room 3./

/On my way, Will./ Came her quick response. Only Picard could note how hard she was trying to sound calm. 'You've done it now!!' He frowned deeply and moved over to sit in his chair. 'You've finally succeeded into pushing your best friend away!!' He stared firmly at the view screen, feeling sadness and anger at himself take over. Deanna shot him a strange look, but he ignored it, shaking his head slightly. "Not now, Counselor." He muttered softly.

Deanna frowned but turned away from him. 'I'm going to get him to talk about it!! That he can be sure of!!'

Jean sobbed uncontrollably as her link with her husband Scott disappeared suddenly. "Oh god!! He's dead, they're all dead!!"

"Jean, you have to calm down!!" Beast patted her shoulder comfortingly, frowning at the screen. The space station had disappeared in a flash of blue light, but he didn't believe his friends were dead. They couldn't be. "We'll figure out what happened, I promise." Storm came over and wrapped Jean in her arms while Beast started searching on the computer to find out what happened.

"Ol' Remy don' believe they dead, chere." Gambit spoke up, moving over to stand in front of the two women. "They be alrig' Beast be findin' what happened."

"Thanks, Remy." Jean said in between sobs. "Its just, since that link appeared between me and Scott, it has been my lifeline to him. We're connected, so when it disappeared it scared me!!"

"Well, if you be connected," Remy said, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "You'da FELT him die, right?" Jean stopped crying in surprise, blinking quickly to clear her vision.

"I...think you're right!!" Jean replied, smiling happily. "We both have been able to tell if the other is in trouble, so why wouldn't I be able to feel him die. That means he MUST still be alive!! Somewhere..."

"I concur." Beast agreed, turning to look at the assembled group. "There is some kind of rift where the space shuttle was, I believe if we could find transportation, we will be able to follow through the rift and see if we can find our friends on the other side."

"But where are we going to find transportation? Space travel is impossible at this time!!" Storm asked, meeting her crestfallen friends faces.

"I believe I can help you with that." Everyone jumped at the voice coming from the computer screen. A woman was on the screen, she had black hair that stuck out on the sides. She appeared to be in a ship of some kind, the interior looked like nothing any of them had ever seen before. "We...have a common agenda." The woman stated as she stood up and moved to the door of her ship, only then did the group realize she had landed next to the house.

Beverly hurriedly checked on the unconscious people, reporting any injuries they had. /Number One, report./ Picard's voice came over Riker's communicator. /They all appear to be severely injured. They don't seem dangerous though. They appear to have no weapons./ Riker responded.

/Captain, if we wish to save these people, we need to get them to sickbay immediately, there are serious wounds that need to be treated now or they might die./ Beverly said into her communicator.

/Understood, but keep security nearby just in case. Picard out./

/8 to beam directly to sickbay./ Beverly commanded.

/Understood. Ready to transport./ Came the response.

/Energize./ Beverly and the group of people disappeared leaving the rest of the away team to examine the station more closely.

Lilandra paced the floor of the war room, more agitated than the rest of them. She had told them her sister Deathbird had usurped her position as Empress of the Shi'ar. But the reason why she had come here was her dreams of Charles, how they were linked together somehow. She couldn't help being worried about him, she didn't know how Jean was doing it.

"Lilandra, ol' Remy tink you gonna wear a hole in de floor." Gambit said, an amused smile plastered on his face. She glared at him briefly and continued pacing. "Beast be workin' as fast as he can, chere."

"I know that." Lilandra replied, frowning deeply at the floor. She hadn't told them Charles was badly hurt, no need to worry them more. She was worried enough for all of them.

"Finally!!" Beast exclaimed, turning to look at the assembled group, a huge smile splitting his face. "I have inputted the proper data and have found a way to travel through the rift!! Finding our friends on the other side will probably be more daunting."

"Leave that to me!!" Jean and Lilandra answered simultaneously. Both looking at each other with raised brows, while the men laughed at them.

"We'll find them, somehow!!" Lilandra said softly, Jean placed her hand on the elder woman's shoulder.

"Yes, we will."

Beverly sighed in relief, just finishing healing the last person. She then moved over to check on her assistant who had fallen unconscious when touching the brown and white haird woman. It had been the strangest thing, she had touched her face and had just fallen over. Beverly couldn't find anything wrong with her, she would wake up soon though. 'Maybe I can ask when that woman wakes up.'

She was just readying to leave when the man she had just finished healing started to stir. Looking around she noticed everyone else was starting to wake up as well. 'Already?' She wondered incredulously. 'Their metabolism is much higher than I thought. They need to rest more, the grafts haven't taken hold quite yet.' She quickly administered a hypospray loaded with a strong sedative into each of her patients. 'I should do the same for the rest of them as well.' She then hurried out the door into the next room where the rest of the group was. 'I still can't believe it! Two of them are blue!!' She couldn't help feeling the fur on the man with the tail. It was so soft. All of the stranger's had an unusual gene, it was unknown what it was, but there were no records of it anywhere. 'It'll be an interesting find, if I can figure out what that gene is!!' She felt giddy at the potential new discovery, forgetting for the moment about Jean-Luc's proposal.

Lilandra felt an immense relief spread over her as she felt Charles' presence as soon as they slid through the rift in space. The link was weak, but it was there. She could hear Jean's sigh of happiness echo through the bridge of the Shi'ar glider. "We'll be able to find them." Jean said to the other's in the room. "Everything will be alright!!"

"It'll be interesting to see how they ended up here, won't it?" Beast questioned.

"Yes it will." Storm agreed as Lilandra began flying in the direction she felt Charles.
