Thanks for the reviews everyone. Thank you so much : )
Its Christmas
"How about some training then? I feel up for tacking on a few sentinels."
"Actually, I was thinking we could stay in and celebrate Christmas."
"Laura, we've been over this, it just doesn't fell like Christmas when the world is being destroyed."
"Aw come on Jamie."
Fluttering her eyes at him, he gave in.
"Fine then."
"Follow me."
"What? Why?"
"For your present."
(Several hours later)
"Im enjoying this, thank you Laura."
Laura had took Jamie into down town Bayville for a 'picnic', which really meant sitting on a blanket in the centre of town eating food while attacking as many sentinels as they could.
"Told you would."
As he sliced the head off another sentinel letting it fall to the ground with a mighty crash as he darted off slicing through a squad of soldiers with ease. Sprinting back to Laura who was busy finishing off the last sentinel.
"You having fun Laura?"
"Hell yeah, this is awesome."
"You ready for your present?"
"Yeah."
All of a sudden Jamie dipped Laura. Their lips inches apart…
****
Beep beep beep beep
"Fuck sake."
Smacking his alarm clock, he grumbled bouncing out of bed he realised his room was different. There was an odd looking tree in the corner filled with odd shapes of sizes and colours.
"What the hell?"
Throwing on some clothes and attaching his sword he walks down to the kitchen noticing all the walls are covered in decorations. On entering he sees Logan and Laura chatting away.
"Ummm, Logan? What's up with the mansion? Are we under attack or something?"
"It's a week to Christmas Jamie. We're decorating the place as its tradition."
"Oh Christmas."
"What's up, don't you celebrate Christmas in the future?"
"It's hard to when most of your family are dead and the world in half destroyed."
Logan and Laura noticed Jamie was staring down at his left hand fiddling with a ring on his finger.
"So, who's the lucky woman then?"
"What? Oh, well I can't tell you. Might wreck the future."
Logan just grunted meaning he didn't want to press him further, on the other hand Laura wanted to know.
"Come on Jamie, I'll take you Christmas shopping with the others."
"Shopping? Great."
"Leave your sword here, you won't need it."
"Im keeping it on me, end of discussion."
(The mall)
Half of mutant manor walked through the mall, which meant the security personal were more focused on them then Jamie's sword. Since it was a week to Christmas the mall was packed as was every shop filled to the brim with angry shoppers.
"I'll like be back in a sec, I like need to go into the shop."
Kitty dived to the crowded shop as screams and shouts filled the air.
"Bloody hell, and I thought the future was harsh."
"Welcome back to Bayville Mall Jamie, where the shoppers are angry and the dogs get crazy."
"You what?"
"Just a saying."
"Gambit? Ya want ta come into that shop with meh ah sec?"
"Sorry cheire, I can't."
"Why?"
"A misunderstanding, the security guard got the idea that I was shoplifting so he chased me out the store and shouted for me to never come back."
"And were you shoplifting?"
"Of course not Cherie, shoplifting is not my style. I was pick pocketing."
"Swamp rat."
Both walked off as they continued to argue as the rest watched them.
"They really should be married, they argue like a married couple."
"You have no idea."
Muttering under his breath (Jamie) he walked off to a store to find the perfect gifts.
(An hour later)
"Bloody hell, I thought danger room sessions were hard."
"Come on everyone, let's head home."
(1 week later)
Jamie descended the stairs and walked into the rec room to find the whole mansion already down there.
"Merry Christmas!"
"Merry Christmas everyone."
Almost immediately a handful of wrapped presents were shoved into his arms as everyone else started to tear their presents open. Manoeuvring himself through the crowd he managed to sit himself on the arm of a chair occupied by Laura.
"Merry Christmas Laura."
He handed her a small box which she took and opened.
"Oh my gosh, they are lovely."
Inside was a pair of sapphire diamond ear rings.
"How did you know?"
"It's like I can sense the future."
In truth Laura had told him what she really wanted for Christmas in the future.
"Here's yours."
He chuckled as inside he found a polishing kit for his sword.
"Thanks Laura."
"No problem, so you going to tell me who you marry? Come on, I can keep a secret."
"No, all I'll say is she's close but somehow far away."
"Ok then."
****
The resistance group had blindfolded Jamie and take him to some unknown location, he did notice that they went under a waterfall or some water as he heard the flow of water, they could well be possibly be in the sewers. Eventually, they stopped and took his blindfold off showing a large room that looked like a large cave. Computers and panels littered the place, men and women ran in all directions carrying different equipment and sometimes injured people on their backs, tunnels lead off in every direction from the cave with sign above them.
"Haha, Mystique is dead."
The leader of the small group that captured Jamie threw his fist into the air as the entire room erupted into a frenzy of cheering and shouting. Suddenly a flash of blue light appeared in the centre of the room, a few seconds later Laura was standing there.
"Freeze."
Every person held a gun up to Laura.
"Stop, wait, stop please."
"Do we shoot?"
"Her eyes are normal."
"Weapons down now!"
Emerging from one of the corridors was Kitty who wore an Xavier future vision suit with her hair tied back in her trademark ponytail.
"But sir, Mystique caught her, then she was brainwashed into being their slave."
"Did you kill Mystique yourself?"
"No sir, she just vanished into thin air."
"Hmm, that's odd but… Jamie? What the hell happened to you?"
"I don't know, I got zapped here."
"Zapped?"
"Yeah by Forge he…"
"Forge? That explains a lot. So that means if you're here, then the older Jamie was sent back in time. If Jamie kills someone in the past it affects the future, so this is a good thing."
"Sir? Your orders?"
"Let Laura go, the future has changed to our favour."
With that Laura is released and everyone disperses leaving Kitty, Laura and Jamie alone.
"Laura, are you alright to look after Jamie?"
"Yeah sure."
Behind from one of the tunnels a man trying to be Santa burst in carrying a faded red sack on his back.
"Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas, merry Christmas."
"Jamie, follow me a sec."
She lead Jamie down on of the tunnels, down a smaller tunnel into a medium sized room that looked like a bedroom, which it was. In the corner was a large double bed, a sofa and a few chairs, a small kitchen, another room which Jamie assumed was the toilet, a couple of shelves with pictures on them. On the other side of the room was a smaller bed and wardrobe. Laura walked over to the shelves and took all the pictures off and put them in a drawer then turned the key. Then she went into another drawer and took out a wrapped present.
"Merry Christmas Jamie."
Unwrapping it, he found it to be a sword.
"Wow thanks. Sorry I didn't get you one, if I had known I would be dragged into the future I would have got you something."
"How about I train you to use the sword for my present?"
"Sure."
"Ok, this is the stance you should use when fighting."
Putting the sword into his hands she walked round behind him and put her arms over and held his hands onto the sword.
"Thanks Mrs Laura."
"Call me Laura Jamie."
"Umm, Laura can I ask you a question?"
"Shoot."
"Who are you married to? I noticed you have a ring on your ring finger."
"I don't want to wreck the timeline so I won't tell you, but he's close to me but somehow a long way away."
