Thanks everybody! Here's your second chapter that I promised.

Chapter 4

Classes the next day had been rough for Lena. Her students noticed how fatigued she looked and did as they were told. She brought her last class of the day outside again; she always brought her ethics class outside even in winter, it gave them a sense of freedom to speak.

Lean sat facing all of her students

"I hope you all thought about what I said the other day because I'm going to pick you at random to speak. What do you think and feel about the on going war between mutants and humans?" Almost all of their hands rose in the air. Lena pointed to a short girl that always sat in the front of her classes

"Heather, what are your thoughts?" The girl sat up straight

"I think that it's silly but also justified." Lena tilted her head

"How so?"

"Well humans fight what they're scared of. They are scared of the unknown and we are the unknown." Lena looked impressed and nodded

"That is a good way to look at it. Luke?" A tall, black boy cleared his throat

"They are the ones that are like animals. They are intimidated so they attack us and try to either kill or 'cure' us. I pity them." Lena pointed at another student

"Keith what do you think should be done about this war? How do we end it peacefully?" Lena asked

"We don't. No matter what we do humans will be scared of us and will always try to get rid of us for their safety. All of them think just because we have these powers that we will use them for doing wrong deeds like murder or theft."

Lena stood up and looked at all of her students.

"How many of you agree with Keith's statement?" Most of the student's hands went in the air

"That is truly sad. Let's walk this way." Lena led her class over to the gravesite. She turned to her class

"These people here. They fought their hardest to fight for a better future. Each one of them has fought for mutant rights but they didn't kill humans to get their point across. You might not remember it but the war at Alcatraz Island was a major turning point in the mutant and human war." Lena led her class to the pond

"Magneto and the brotherhood used murder and intimidation against the humans. They claim that they were fighting for mutant rights but what they really were doing was fighting for mutants to rule over the humans to turn them into prisoners. Let me ask you this. Is the domination of mutants and the mass murder of humans considered as fighting for mutant rights? Was Magneto justified for killing hundreds of humans? Were we delusional and betraying all of mutant kind when we the X-men fought with the humans to stop Magneto?"

The students started to talk amongst themselves wildly. When they settled down Lena picked a girl on the right

"Stacey so did you and your friends come to a conclusion?" The girls behind her nodded

"Maybe killing all of the humans was a bit far for the brotherhood to go but they had the right idea. We are stronger we should be helping run this country."

"We are. If you had taken politics with Professor McCoy you would know that he gave up his government position to help rebuild the school. Mutants are beginning to be accepted into society more and more." Lena turned to the left side and picked a girl there

"I want to hear the opinion of someone that experienced what happened at Alkali Lake. Jubilee what about you? " the Asian girl took a step in the middle

"Even though I was captured and put away underground, I don't want to overrule the humans. Not all humans share the views of Striker, look at the President he has accepted mutants into his staff and trusts the X-men with his life. Magneto took his ideals to far and he is responsible for killing a lot of young mutants that he convinced to fight for him. The X-men are the ones that saved all of us at Alkali Lake and I believe that they saved all of our lives at Alcatraz." Lena smiled at the girl

"Jessie what are your thoughts?" The boy was cut off by a loud bell signalling the end of classes

"Saved by the bell. Tuesdays talk will be about death." Lena sat down on the grass after all of the students left.

"That was depressing" Lena jumped up and turned ready to attack. Once she saw Logan she sighed

"Don't do that" Lena stood next to him

"You up to it kid?" Lena nodded her head

"I was wondering when you would go back to calling me kid" Logan smirked then sat down and closed his eyes

"Guess I don't need to tell you to relax" Lean walked in front of him and her hands found their usual place.

The third time was the easiest for Lena. Everything was the same but Lena kept feeling like someone watching her. Lena half revealed Logan's memories and listened to the outer world. She was watching a memory that Logan had of his time in New Orleans; he had gone there with John Wraith to seek out a mutant named Gambit. Lena pulled from his mind just as Logan was blasted through a wall. Logan looked up at her and was about to say something but Lena beat him to it. She was looking over into the forest on the right

"Logan get out of here. Now!" she turned her head to face him

"Go! Tell Strom that Time Warp got me but I'll find a way back, trust me. I'll be seeing you soon" Logan looked at her funny when he heard a ticking noise

"What is that sound and what do you mean you'll see me soon?"

"No matter what time she sends me back to you'll be there. That noise means you have to go."

"Wait who's Time Warp and why is he after you?" Lena shook her head

"I killed her granddaughter. Bye Logan!" Lean sent him flying with a sweep of her hand

It wasn't even a second later when an older woman came to stand in front of Lena. The woman looked at her with hatred in her eyes. Lena put her hands up in surrender

"Mary I didn't kill her on purpose. You have to know that I pushed her out of the way from being shot." Mary spat at her and scoffed

"Ha! That's a good one. You killed my granddaughter; she was all I had left. Now I'm going to send you to a place I never have to see you again." Lena stood up tall waiting for the inevitable

Mary raised a wrinkled hand and waved it across Lena's face then ran into the forest. Lena stood there confused until she felt the earth shake and move from beneath her feet. Lena tried to stand still when the shaking became worst and her body fell.

Lena gasped as she felt like she was falling down a hundred feet. Without warning Lena hit a hard surface. The last thing she saw was a large bright sign that stood tall above her head saying Las Vegas.
