So just want to get out of the way that this story is currently set after season four. Enjoy.

Water dripped from the grimy walls as the team walked through the sewers. Interchanging from single file, to two by two. The little light they had, came and went through the potholes that opened above them.

She could hear rats, and resisted the urge to chase them. Besides, dogs hated underground.

She could smell it. Not the sewers, but the feeling. She could smell her feelings a lot since her power activated three years ago. This feeling smelt of ash and... No escape. It was lifeless, pure burning death.

"There's a light, over at the Frankenstein place." Rhane whisper-sang quietly. "There's a light. Burnin' in the fire place."

"Are you okay?" The small wolf girl yelped, receiving a shhh from several team members.

"Yeah Roberto, I really am fine." She smiled, but when she let out her breath it was shaky and uneven.

Roberto simply raised his dark eyebrows. "Rahne, half the human race hates us, we're in a sewer and you're singing show tunes. None of us are alright."

A tear rolled down her cheek. "I just want to go home."

He shushed her. "This is going to blow over, I promise."

"That a load of crap and you know it." Rahne was suddenly bitter. She crossed her arms over her chest. "You saw what it was like out there,, what they did to that little girl-"

"Rahne." He silenced her, nodding at Jamie.

He was pacing along slowly beside Amara, his hands knotted together. Every ten steps of so, he'd lean over to glance into the water. Every time he did his face turned pale.

"You're right." Rahne nodded. "I thick it's just the dog in me that hates bein' underground."

"Are you kidding me." Roberto snorted. "Rahne, I can't even use my powers down here. Without the sun, I'm useless."

She narrowed her eyes. "None of us are useless. My goodness, if wolverine could hear you now. He would-"

"Slap me upside the head." They both laughed. "I know, we're all important I guess. That's why were a team, best when we're together.

"But Bobby's gone."

Roberto opened his mouth to say something, but must have thought better of it.

"Hey, you guys." Ray called from up ahead. "We've got company. Don't worry though, I can handle this."

"Says the guy who led us into a dark tunnel." Roberto scoffed.

Ray simply glared at him.

Everyone knew that Ray and Roberto didn't get along. Sam and Ray were best friends, and Bobby usually tagged along with either them or Roberto. Roberto spent some time with Bobby, but mostly hung out with Scott's younger brother Alex. Whenever ray and Roberto were on the same training team, you could tell that team was going to lose.

"Put aside your differences for five minutes." Amara hissed, with an elegant sort of authority. "Ray's right, we do have company." He moved Jamie behind her back and stepped closer to Rahne.

Rahne strained to see in the dark and decidedly, changed into her canine form. She could now see a tall green scaly figure emerge from the dark. It was flanked by a dirty, no filthy woman with tan skin and an eyepatch.

"Berzerker." The woman with the eyepatch greeted Ray.

"Callisto." He nodded to her. "Scaleface." He addressed the big green lizard in an almost hostile tone.

Scaleface? How appropriate, Rahne thought.

"Ray." Scaleface spoke, in an adoring female voice. She slowly became more human-like until a teenager stood before us. She had long dark blue hair, that fell in large ringlets and pale skin. She wore tight red shorts and a matching loose tank top with knee high boots. "You know you can call me Madeline." She placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Taaaaacky." Jubilee singsonged quietly from behind them, so only Rahne and Amara could hear.

Rahne growled in agreement and Amara laughed.

"I know I can." Ray said, looking past her to Callisto. "We're looking for safety."

"The X-Men are always welcome here." She nodded. "Follow me."

They followed her.

"So, Ray." Madeline elbowed him. "How's the good life."

For some reason, everything about Madeline put Rahne on edge. Probably because she was half lizard. Her canine senses acted unfairly like that sometimes.

They rounded a corner and suddenly rows of lamps hung on each side of the tunnel.

"God, she's so-" Amara grunted angrily.

Rahne changed back to her human form. "And by that I suppose you mean she is so, all over Ray." She smirked.

"No." Amara scoffed. "That is most certainly not what I meant."

Rahne groaned suddenly . "I hate being underground."

"Really?" Amara tilted her head. "I suppose you and Roberto would both find it upsetting. I however am insanely grateful that I get to be this close to the earth." She ran her hand alone the stone wall, then shrieked.

"What?" Rahne gasped.

"It's so dirty down here." Amara made a face. "Sorry."

"Alright there princess?" Ray winked at Amara, a humored grin on his face.

She gave him a thumbs up, her face so red it threatened to burst into flames. Which with Amara, Rahne thought, was completely possible.

"This sucks." She sighed.

"Hold up." Jubilee said. "I think we're here."

As they rounded another corner, they came upon a very large room with connecting tunnels. Like some sort of sewer times square. Small children and bundled up adults sat around, sleeping or playing cards. No one looked particularly happy, and no one was speaking loudly.

"We got a lot of refugees after the outbreak up there." Callisto explained. "Some of yours I think too."

"Really?" Jubilee pushed up yo the front of the group.

"Really." Said someone.

"Bobby!" Jubilee, throwing her arms around the boy.

He reacted surprised at first, then carried a smug grin on his face. "Well, I missed you too Jubes."

She pulled away suddenly. "I uh just, we all missed our team leader. A LOT."

"I can see that." He raised his eyebrows. "Anything you need." He turned to Callisto. "Were here to help."

...

Thats chapter two folks! Leave me a review, I'd love to know what you thought of it.

Scaleface didn't have a name so I had to improvise, changed her personality too, which I figured would be cool since there isn't much to go on anyways. Her hair really is blue though, and her outfit is comics approved :)

im going to introduce tons more Morlocks next chapter, some fan made, some cannon, etc.

Reviews make me happy!

Let me know if there's a specific cameo you want, and I'll consider it!
