AN: thanx for the reviews and lets just say that Porlaris, White Queen and Psyloke was recruited when Jubes and Bobby was. I have also made Cable, X-Mans father and changed Cable's parentage to fit in with the story ENJOY
Night had fallen and the eight people in the cave sat huddled around a campfire in the middle of the room.
Logan or Wolverine a short hairy and grough looking man with black hair and chocolate brown eyes had a stick and was poking at the fire. He was wearing his X-Men uniform as all the occupants were. They had all just finished a training session (New recruits, X-Men and the instructors minus Xavier) when Xavier had called them all to his office where all this began. As he looked around at the six teenagers and the only other adult he was secretly listening for movement out side the cave he couldn't let those bastards take any more of them or they might not be able to rescue the ones that were taken.
"Anything?" asked Raven or Mystique
"Nothing" Logan growled
Logan was angry with him self he was told to help the kids escape but he took to long with elf's group if only he had taken them only to the window. He could have gone back and maybe there would be more X-Men sitting here now.
SKINT with a growl he embedded the ground with three of his metal claws causing the six teens too look up at him.
SKANT with that he looked up as the teens went back to their own conversations. Looking around the room he analysed them.
Kitty also called Shadowcat, normally bright and bubbly girl was now gloomy her funk matched those of the two boys and the girl, that sat on either side of her.
Evan also called Spyke, was just sitting their staring at the fire, he was lost he couldn't lose his aunt not now, he was going to find her if it was the last thing he did. At least that's what Logan would do if he were in the dark boy's shoes.
Jubilee was having a hard time dealing with the fact that so many of their friends were gone. She had cried her eyes out when we had realised that we were going to be the only ones to escape these horrific attacks. There had been one large group of teens all together but Pysloke, Rogue and her boyfriend Iceman, had been caught on the other side of an explosion and had to go another way to get around the debris, that was the last time they saw the three teens.
Kurt/Nightcrawler was just as upset, finding out that he had a sister and an aunty was a great shock for the boy but also a painful one since they both were captured by the creeps who had invaded both the brotherhood and X-Men mansions. Logan knew there was more to the story that raven had to tell the blue fuzzy elf but that would be better told to the boy when or if they get the two other women involved safe back at the mansion.
Not to far away from the four X-Men was the large boy called Fred or the Blob as he calls him self. He as well looks like someone had kicked him in the gut. Logan figured and from what info Raven had supplied the boy was fond of Toad, who was also captured, since the big boy had never really been treated as a someone he considered the frog-like boy a close friend.
Logan then looked over at the tall Russian boy whose name was Pitor, codenamed Colossus. He wondered what type of power the boy had 'he would have to be quite powerful to be picked to work for metal head' Logan thought to him self. He was no very surprised and had been expecting Magneto to assemble a new team eventually, the brotherhood was shit when it came to battle, but then again Mystique was in-charge of their training and had been working for Xavier. So he suspected that she didn't train them to beat the X-Men, only enough to put metal head off her track.
"We should put together a team to try and free the others" Mystique said breaking the silence and causing all in the cave to look at her
"Your right Raven" Logan agreed "but us eight aint gonna get twenty plus outta them hell holes even if we can find where they were taken"
"Then we recruit more people to help us" Raven said firmly "Surly Charles had names of more mutants around here"
"Zere iz forge" Kurt suggested
"Yeah, like what about that Moonstarr girl the professor like tried to recruit with Jubilee and the other new recruits?" Kitty asked
"Sam said his little sister had some powers as well" Jubilee offered
"What about the other Summer's boy?" Raven asked
"Alex? Yes he might wanna help, I can get X-23 to help she owes me anyway" Logan said
"I vill get my little sister Illyana ta help too" Pitor said
"Great, that's six if they all agree to help that is"
"Make that eight" came a commanding voice form the front of the cave
All eight people wiped around to see two people standing in the entrance. The one who had spoken, the older one had white hair and one blue eye one glowing, a robotic arm and was wearing a blue spandex with X's on it he was also caring a large gun he looked about forty. The younger of the two who looked about eighteen also wore a blue spandex but his had yellow trims around the seams, he had the X's as well. He had blue eyes and the remarkable thing was he had Brown hair with a white streak framing his face, like Rogue has her hair.
All eight occupants of the cave were immediately on their feet and ready to attack the two new comers. The younger of the two rolled his eyes and leaned against the entrance of the cave and smirked. The older man looked at the six weary mutants and chuckled and held up his hands in surrender
"We come in peace Wolverine" the older man said
"Yeah? how do we know that bub" Logan challenged
"Dude, we could have wiped your asses by now if we wanted ta" the younger on said with a laugh
"Excuse my son he is kinda cocky got it off my father" the older on said
"Really, why would you wanna help us" Raven asked advancing on the pair
"Because we know what the worlds going ta be like if the X-Men and brotherhood all die" the older one said
"What are you like form the future or something" Kitty asked in a sarcastic tone
The younger one laughed "Got it in one Shadowcat"
"Who are you? And how do you know our names?" Logan asked
"Ohh excuse my manners I'm Nathan also known as Cable and this is my son Nate also known as X-Man" Cable said and X-Man did a mock salute
"Like what did you mean got it in like one about the future" Kitty asked the strange teen
"We are from the year 2048 we came back here to help you get the others free so our world wont exist" Cable explained
The original eight occupants of the cave looked on slack jawed. "Logan broke the silence
"Prove it bub"
"Vhy vont you vant your vorld to exist" Kurt asked
"Please, please one question at a time mes amis, I can only answer one at a time I'm not quickie you know jeez" X-Man joked, Cable glared at him
"Sorry about him" Cable apologised "First the answer ta Nightcrawler's question…" Cable started
"Our world sucks 'great uk' wars everywhere, mutants verses humans all because you guys were unable ta free the majority of the X-Men" X-Man said seriously
"How come de X-Men aint helping? You arve X-Men dright" Pitor asked
"Yes we are" Cable said "But there aint many of us at all, ten active members and about twenty that have terminal or permanently injured and are unable ta fight" he explained
"We can't do it all our selves" X-Man explained
Logan could not smell them lying so he motioned for the other seven mutants as well as the two new ones to take a seat. Once they were all seated Logan motioned for the two new comers to continue
"Three years ago X-Man had this crazy idea, after coming back form an mission all bloodied and ten more men down, that maybe we could go back ta taday and help you out" Cable explained
"Old man Will just happened ta over hear me and go and build the thing" X-Man told them
"He thought it would be a good idea and hopefully help save the X-Men" Cable explained
"Who's old man Will?" Fred asked
"He goes by Forge" X-Man said
"Forge" Kurt asked surprised and the two future men nodded
"Wow he must be vhat sixty?" Kurt asked
"Exactly" X-Man said
"Who is like alive in your world" Kitty asked
"Well the majority of the X-Men and brotherhood die in the containment facilities, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Shadowcat, Gambit, Havok, X-23, Husk, and Quicksilver are the only original X-Men/Brotherhood/Acolytes left alive, Wolverine is still active but the rest of you are between fifty-eight and sixty-two and don't go out and fight" Cable explained
"Avalanche, Angel, Pyro, Berzerker, Cannonball, Magma, Iceman, Beast, Magneto, Boom-Boom, Xavier, Multiple, Psyloke, plus eleven others that are in the centres were killed by Rogue in experiments. She absorbed them permanently and the multiple personalities she had as well as all them screaming in her head ended up killing her by the time she was eighteen" X-Man explained
"Mystique, Jubilee, Spyke, Blob, Magik, Colossus, Moonstarr, Porlaris, Cyclops, Storm, Toad, Scarlet Witch, White Queen, Sunspot, Wolfsbane, and Phoenix all died later in the resistance or are permanently immobile and are unable ta fight." Cable explained
"Angel was like captured" Kitty asked
"Eighteen" Kurt said sadly
"What do you mean permanently?" Logan asked
"This sucks" Jubilee said
"What about Destiny?" Mystique asked
"Why do you use codenames only?" Evan asked
"Shadowcat, he was captured about two weeks ago, kinda hard to hide his wings you know" Cable answered
"Kinda sucks hey Nightcrawler, and Destiny was killed in captivity, couldn't see what she was doing and a sentinel squashed her" X-Man said sadly
"If Rogue holds on till she can't absorb anymore she takes their powers and personality permanently" Cable explained
"As for the codenames Spyke, It is the safest thing to call ourselves so the anti-mutant groups don't hurt your families. Their killing anyone who is related to a mutant as well"
"So do you know where these facilities are then?" Logan asked
"Of course" both men answered at the same time
"Good, now we need to go and recruit these other mutants to help us" Logan said going into leader mode "You have a ride?" he asked Cable who nodded "Good we will use that to get around in. now lets get moving and get their before any real damage is done" Logan instructed
Little did the two time travellers know, that by coming back and helping they changed the course of history and nothing will be the way they remember it.
