My World of Minds: 10
Chapter X
Lizzy's POV
It's been five months since the dance, Warren and I have been dating for all that time. I've met his father, who seems to like me, even though he isn't the biggest fan of mutants, though Warren didn't tell him that I'm a mutant. I'm not even sure he knows that Warren is a mutant. I still haven't introduced Warren to my parents yet, maybe one day.
I'm in Jean's room; we are talking about wedding plans. The date for the wedding is September 25. She has shown me her dress, all the decor, and I'm going to be one of her bridesmaids.
I feel like Jean is the sister I never had. She helps me with my powers, encourages me to be the best that I can be, and she is always there to help me pick out an outfit or give me advice.
I head down the stairs and walk pass Hank.
"Hello Lizzy, how are you today?" he asks.
"Hello Hank, I'm good. How about you?" I ask in response.
"Very good, I need to ask you about something later," he says.
"What?" I ask.
"I will tell you later. Could you come to the lab around 4:00 o'clock this afternoon?" he asks.
"Okay, I'll try. First I need to call my parents, I haven't called them for a month," I answer.
"Okay, well, hopefully I'll see you later," he says with a playful grin.
"Okay, see you later Hank," I answer with a smile.
I finish going down stairs, and go into Professor Xavier's office.
"Hello Professor," I say.
"Hello Lizzy, what is it that I can do for you?" he asks.
"Could I use your phone? I haven't called my parents for a whole month and I don't want them to start worrying," I ask.
"Of course," he replies and hands me his landline.
I dial my parents' number.
"Hello who is this?" I hear my dad say through the phone.
"Dad is that you?" I ask.
"Baby Girl, is that you?" he asks.
"Yes dad it's me," I reply.
"We've been so worried about you," he answers.
"Sorry I didn't call sooner, I've been really busy here. How is everyone there?" I ask.
"Everyone's good, missing you. Here is your mother," he replies.
"Lizzy?" I hear my mom say.
"Mom," I say.
"Oh how are you? Why haven't you called, I've been worried sick?" she asks.
"I'm good. Sorry I didn't call sooner, I've been really busy," I reply.
"That's okay. How is Warren?" she asks, with a playful voice.
"Good, busy. I've actually met his dad now," I answer.
"When do we get to meet him?" she asks.
"I don't know, when you meet him, I guess," I answer.
"What's wrong, don't you like him?" she asks in concern.
"Of course I like him, I just, I don't know," I reply with a sigh.
"What's the matter?"
"I'm not sure if we work as a couple or not. I mean he didn't even tell his dad that I'm a mutant," I reply.
"Maybe you should talk to him about it," she replies.
"Okay, maybe I'll do that. How are the boys?" I ask.
"Good, they all miss you; they're busy with school right now."
"Tell them I love them and that I said hello."
"I will."
"I have to go."
"Okay, I love you."
"I love you all."
I step into the lab. Hank is in his white lab coat, and black pants.
"You wanted to tell me something?" I ask Hank.
"Yes, please sit down, here," he gestures to a seat.
"So, is something wrong?" I ask.
"No, I just need to take some blood," he replies.
"Do you have to?" I ask, with a frown.
"Now don't act like a child," he answers with a grin.
"Fine," I say, half smiling, half frowning.
"Charles says a couple days ago when you were training, you levitated?" he asks, with a concerned voice.
"Yes, Hank, that's what happened. Nether Professor or I know the reason why it happened, or how. Is that why your taking my blood, are you going to run some tests?" I ask.
"Yes, that's partly why I'm taking your blood, partly because I haven't yet," he answers, with his business voice.
After he finishes he turns and looks at me. "I would really like if you could go see Jean and have some x-rays done," he says.
"Okay, may I ask why?" I ask.
"Of course, I just want to make sure I have an x-ray to see if I see anything out of the ordinary," he says, waving it off.
"Why doesn't that reassure me?" I ask, half joking, half serious.
"I'm sure you're healthy; I just need your x-ray. So rest at ease," he says with a grin.
"So where is everyone, I haven't seen a soul?" I ask.
"They are protecting Mr. Warren Worthington. He is giving money to the M.R.D.," he answers.
"I wonder how that's going?"
Scott's POV
Crack! Ouch that hurt. 'I really hate Sabertooth,' I think while I'm blasting at him. Wow he's fast, I've only hit him once and whoa that was close. If he had got me in the chest with his claws then I wouldn't have made it to my own wedding.
"Not much of a challenge, are you X-girl," Sabertooth says, with a laugh. "Where's Logan so I can have a real challenge."
"Well I might not be Wolverine bub, but try this on for size," I say as I blast him through three cars.
He yells from the pain, the impact sets off several car alarms, and I hear him groan.
I walk off, to see if Sabertooth is still down. "That was easier than I thought," I say.
Then I hear someone come up behind me, as I turn around he knocks me over the head. My vision blurs and all I can see is black.
Kurt's POV
I see that Scott took out Sabertooth, but Blob knocked him over the head. I teleport on top of Blob, then I teleport high in the air and drop him where Peter is.
"He is all yours," I say to Peter.
He nods and gets in an offensive pose, waiting for Blob to get up. Blob gets up, and then they both start fighting.
I go over to help Storm, she is going against Toad. I quickly pick him up and drop him.
"Dud, not fair!" says Toad.
He tries to spit in my detection, but I teleport away.
I teleport to where Herr Summers is. He is slowly getting up.
"Herr Scott, are you okay?" I ask.
"I think so, but I think he broke my arm," he answers with a wince.
"We'll have Jean look at it," I reply, putting my hand on his shoulder.
He starts to walk but seems a little wobbly.
"Whoa Scott, let me help you," I say.
"No I'm fine," he answers.
This time he nearly falls down, but I catch him before he falls.
"Okay, maybe I need a little help," he says with a sigh.
Charles's POV
{"Scott, are you okay?"} I ask Scott through our mental link.
{"Yes, sorry Professor, I was knocked out for a little while,"} Scott replies.
{"He seems to be okay Professor, just a little shaken up,"} says Kurt.
{"Charles, I don't know why but they are retreating,"} says Ororo.
{"What?"} I ask.
{"They're retreating,"} repeats Ororo.
For a moment I sense Raven's mind. I get knocked over the head. Through my blurred vision I see my step brother, Cain's, giant form. Then everything goes black.
