Author's Note: No... I'm actually NOT dead. Sorry it took so long for me to
post the next chapter, I've been really busy over the holiday season. But I
finally have a new chapter up, So yeah!!! If you haven't seen 'Lord of the
Rings: The Two Towers' yet... go see it! Really! It's worth the insert
outrageously high price of movie ticket here that you pay to get into the
theater. A friend and I went to see it because we're like really big fans
and it like totally ROCKED! Except for the person who would clap and
'YEAH!' and/or 'WOOHOO!' every time Legolas did something that was... ya
know, totally Legolas like. Stuff the rest of the Fellowship couldn't even
imagine themselves doing, even in their most epic dreams. I mean, the dude
ROCKS!!! Or maybe I just have this thing for the really herculean superhero
types. *shrugs* Huh...... oh well, onto chapter 11!!!!!
Chapter 11
**Indicates a thought**
"Jean?"
"Yeah Amara."
The hall was bigger than they both had anticipated, and what seemed like it would only require five minutes to complete ended up taking five hours.
"This door..." Amara couldn't help but run her fingers over the chillingly cold metal, there was definitely something different about it, "Isn't it kinda odd that a door made totally out of steel is in a two thousand year old burial chamber?"
"Huh, that is odd..." Jean carefully approached the door, lifted the tarnished gold latch and gave it a gentle, yet firm shove, "Nope, it's stuck."
Amara scaled the enormous steel door up and down, "Not quite." She said, using pure fire power to melt the handle so the door could be kicked down and they both could enter.
"Of course," Jean smiled, "that works too."
"C'mon!" Amara ran ahead, swiftly yet silently, aware that one little mistake could be the end of both of them, literally.
"Ummmm?" Amara's pace slowed dramatically when she saw five tunnels directly in front of her, unsure of what path to take.
Jean's eyes closed, but a second later she reopened them, "This way!" she said flying off and taking the lead.

"It's Clark? Am I correct?" The professor said leaning forward in his chair, this was just the chance that he needed to talk to the young adolescent about his abilities.
Clark nodded, a baffled expression shone on his face.
"Jean has spoken very highly of you." He continued, "Although she hasn't spoken of your extraordinary abilities."
Clark's eyes suddenly gaped open in realization, **How? How could he have known? **
Clark tried his best to fake a smile, "Abilities?" When all else fails; deny, deny, deny.
Professor Xavier sensed the boy's apprehension and went on to explain, "Jean, may or may not have told you of the telepathic abilities that I possess."
**So he was able to read my mind???? **
The Professor was then able to expound on how he knew about Clark's abilities, the institute's founding, how it benefited the Mutants that came to live there, and the X-men.
**X-men? ** Clark thought, ** So that's it... they think I'm a mutant. **
Clark quickly abandoned the undying urge to laugh.
"I... um..." He sputtered, Clark wasn't so sure that he wanted to join the X-men no matter how good they were or how much he would learn to improve or control his abilities. It would mean leaving the farm, his parents, his friends, Smallville... everyone that he knew and loved was in Smallville, it had been home for so long that he couldn't begin to imagine what it would be like if he was to suddenly uproot and leave. "I'll think about it."
The Professor nodded and proceeded down the hallway.

"Can we PLEEEEEEASE watch something else?" Sam wined, "It's disgusting to see you girls drool over Anakin!"
"We're not drooling," Jubilee piped in, "we're ummm obsessing!"
"Same difference." Robbie added, before wolfing down a few more chocolate covered pretzels.
"Okay, okay," Kitty said getting up, and going over to the DVD player, "it's over anyways."
"How about Lord of The Rings?" Jamie snatched the bag of pretzels from Robbie.
"YEAH!" Kitty, Rahne, Jubilee and Rogue basically yelled at the same time.
"What!?!" Ray suddenly sat up in his seat.
"What?" Jubilee repeated, she honestly didn't see what the problem was.
"Don't get me wrong. I mean, I'm a big fan of Lord of the Rings just as much as the next guy... but THREE HOURS and some minutes of you girls drooling over Frodo and... what's his name... the elf dude?"
"LEGOLAS!" Rahne practically yelled, a little annoyed.
"Yeah, I can never remember his name. Anyways it's not that impor..."
Sam nudged Ray with his elbow, trying to tell him that finishing that sentence might not be such a great idea.
"Wait. Are you saying that Legolas's name isn't important?" Jubilee inquired, her expression akin to that of an angry wolf's.
"No, no, that's not what I'm saying at all."
"Yeah ya were." Rogue said getting up from the recliner.
Kitty took advantage of the 'little' disagreement and slipped the DVD into the player unnoticed. "HA!" She sat back down and marveled at the screen, "Guys, it's starting!"
After receiving another death glare from Jubilee, Ray finally sat down.
The only other interruption was when Jamie walked up to Kitty and asked to see the DVD case. Kitty nodded slowly at first but as her eyes drifted to his chocolate covered hands she shook her head no, "You've got chocolate all over your hands and I don't think Jean would be too thrilled to find chocolate smothered across the entire case of HER movie, that we weren't supposed to out of from her room anyways."
Kitty placed the box further onto her lap.
"Do you want to hear the 'this DVD is a collector's item and deserves to be treated like one, which means you guys can't just barge in here, take it, and watch it whenever you feel like it' lecture again?" Jubilee added.
Jamie shook his head sadly.
Jubilee nodded and took a brief swig of orange soda, turning back around to watch the movie, but not before she hit Ray with a piece of popcorn.

***Sorry guys but I love doing the scenes where they're all watching movies. I picture it and just start laughing... Sugar, boredom and teenagers do NOT mix, we all know that. Plus I was watching The Fellowship of the Ring, again for the 50th time and drinking like a grande, White Chocolate Mocha. And I was just sitting there like staring at the Collector's Edition box and this really insane idea just kinda POPPED into my head. My friends claim that my mind is a very twisted and bizarre thing. But I mean, c'mon, ME? *smiles innocently*
