San Francisco, Petros residence

"See, I told you being with me wouldn't be so bad. Right?"

"Hmm..." Kitty Pryde answered. Suddenly a huge portal appeared between the two. "Lance quit it!!!"

"Hey, It's not me." Lance Alvers responded as he pulled Kitty out of the way.

Hey, it's not me... it's not me... Not me... Not me...

(BZZZZ BZZZZ BZZZZ) (Thump)

"Damn alarm clock." Dominic muttered as he woke up and stared at the flattened clock. He brushed a few strands of long brown hair from his eyes. "That's the fourth night in a row I've had that dream. Dominic thought to himself. In it, he was at a school dance, though it wasn't his school. The girl he was with kept calling him Lance. Anyhow, he had probably just eaten too much pizza last night. "But still, it felt so real, like it really happened to me." Dominic thought as he went into the bathroom. "And Damn if that girl wasn't a fox."

"So your going to up his training?" Sinister asked as he pooled over the data sheets in front of him.

"Yes." Mystique said as she took a long drag from her cigarette. "That and I'm going to show him pictures of the X-Men. That way, he'll know who his enemies are. And If Xavier tries to find him, the bald SOB will be in for a shock." Mystique said as she snuffed her cigarette but in the ashtray before her.

"Who is baldy?" Dominic asked as he entered the kitchen.

"Someone I want you to watch out for." Mystique said as she pulled out some pictures and handed them to Dominic. "These people are Mutants like you." Mystique explained as Dominic flipped through the pictures. "They are evil though, bent on conquering the world."

"Hmmmm... I doubt they succeed at all. I mean check out this prick with the red glasses." Dominic said as he held out a picture of Cyclops. "Wonder how big of a stick he has up his ass?" Dominic muttered. Mystique and Sinister exchanged a "How the Hell?" look. "Hey, check out the fox." Dominic said as he stared at a picture of Kitty. "Hey that's the girl in my dream." Dominic thought to himself.

"Anyhow, These people say they work for good, but they killed my boss and one of my co-workers."

"Say the word and their dead." Dominic said as he got a dark look in his eyes.

"That's alright son." Mystique said changing the subject. "Lets just continue your training and we'll worry about the X-Men later."

"X-Men?" Dominic asked as he raised an eyebrow.

"That's what they call themselves."

"X-Geeks is more like." Dominic said as he sat down and drank his coffee.

Bayville, Xavier's Institute for Gifted Youngsters.


"So you just want me and 'Ro to get check this out?" Logan said as he lit a cigar.

"Yes." Xavier said as he wheeled down the corridor. "We have no clue what to expect. I'm going to consult with Doctor Pym and Doctor Richards about the whole, cloning issues. I will need Hank here to watch the students."

"If this is a clone of Lance, What do you want us to do?" Storm asked.

"Approach him like any other potential student. But by no means antagonize him." Xavier said sternly. "We have no clue what we are dealing with and I don't want the children to find out about this. Especially Kitty and the Brotherhood."

"Right chuck. We'll leave as soon as possible." Logan said as he and Storm went to the hanger.


******************

San Francisco, 1 day later.


"Hello, Principle Skinner?" Ororo asked as she and Logan greeted the Principle of Halman High School.

"Yes. You must be the people from Xavier's." The principle said as he shook hands with the two mutants. "Um, How can I help you?"

"We're looking for this man." Logan said as he handed a picture of Lance Alvers to the Principle.

"This look's like Dominic Petros." The Principle said in shock, as he pulled Dominic's file. He handed the school picture to Ororo. With the exception of having a goatee on his chin, and his hair pulled into a ponytail, Dominic Petros looked exactly like Lance Alvers. Right down to the same look of arrogance that Lance always had plastered on his face. "May I ask why you're interested in Dominic? He's a good student, B average, attends school events… I don't know why you would be interested in him."

"How long has Dominic gone to school here?" Ororo asked, changing the subject.

"Um, about three months."

"Same time Lance died." Logan muttered.

"Who's Lance?"

"Where does Mr. Petros live?" Logan asked, again changing the subject.

"Um, Here's his address." Principle Skinner said as he handed a piece of paper to Logan.

"Thank's Bub." Logan said as he and Ororo left the school, leaving the Principle dumb founded.

Petros Residence, outside


"You sure about this 'Ro?"

"Charles said he wanted us to approach Dominic." Storm said as she knocked on the door. There was no answer. "I guess no one is home?"

"Can I help you?" The two X-Men turned to see Dominic Petros in the flesh.

"Goddess…" Storm muttered when she saw him. "It's Lance…"

"X-Men…" Lance said as a shadow grew on his face. He tossed his bag to the ground and assumed a Bushido fighting stance.

"Whoa, Calm down kid…" Logan said as he approached Dominic. "We don't want to hurt you…"

"That's funny. Cause I want to hurt you." Dominic said as his eyes turned white and he radiated a pulse of seismic energy from his body, sending Logan flying into the Petros' immense backyard. Storm flew into the air, lightning surrounding her body, forming a type of shield around the wind rider.

"Dominic we don't wish to hurt you…" Storm shouted.

"Yea. Just like you don't want to take over the world." Dominic said as he focused and seismic energy erupted from him and surrounded his body, distorting the air around him and freeing his tied hair, causing it to float upward.

"I don't know what your talking about Bub." Logan said as he popped the claws on his hand.

"Please. My mom told me about you mother fuckers." Dominic said as he took hold off the earth. Suddenly Wolverine was surrounded by a dozen earthen figures that attacked him.

"Just friggen peachy." Logan muttered as he began to slash at the hulking giants, trying to stop them. Meanwhile Storm was in trouble.

"Goddess." Strom muttered as she tried to avoid Dominic's seismic assault. Dominic focused and leapt into the air. An earthen mound rose up to meet him while he was in the air. He mounted the earthen wall and rode it like he was surfing a tidal wave. Storm tried to fly away but Dominic managed to intercept her every which way. And he kept launching seismic energy blasts the entire time. Storm was hard pressed to block, yet she refused to attack for fear of hurting him.

"Why won't you die?" Dominic screamed as he held his hand out and released a wave of energy into Storm's flight path, sending her flying to the ground. Storm lost control and sent a lightning bolt toward Dominic. The bolt reflected off of a shield of seismic energy that Dominic had created around him.

" Storm, A little help here!!!" Logan shouted as he continued slashing at the several earthen monstrosities.

"Logan, I believe it would be wise to withdraw." Storm said as she barley avoided another assault from Dominic. She then created a fog covering to disguise the two X-Men as they pulled out of the hostile situation. Within moments Dominic was alone. He sent his figures away and powered down, releasing his hold on the earth.

"You better run you Basterds." Dominic muttered as he ran inside.

"Dom, what was up with all the noise?" Dominic's father asked as Dominic ran by.

"Those X-Fuckers were just here and I sent them packing." Dominic said as he stopped to face his father.

"Where are you going?"

"To Bayville, New York." Dominic said as he held up Logan's wallet. "Tell Mom I'll be home by tomorrow." Dominic said with a smile as he grabbed his uniform and bolted out the door. Once outside an earthen Orb surrounded him and he disappeared into the earth before Sinister could stop him.

"Great. Now Mystique is going to pitch a fit." Sinister muttered as he dialed a number on his cell phone. "Raven, we have a slight problem with Dominic…."
