Molly's POV

Mourning was only able to go on for two days. That's when Logan disappeared and Hank started staying around giving bad news.

After the Professor's ,memorial service Storm had to send all the students home that had a place to go. The only one's actually left were Rouge, Kitty, Colossus, Gambit, and me.

I had stayed on my own for most of the two days, the other times I was normally hanging with Logan and Kitty. While I was on my own I was able to figure out the telekinesis power the Professor said I had. I was able to get into people's heads very little but I could use the field that came from my whole body just through my hands. It was hard to figure out but the alone part helped a lot. I tried to fix Scott but her was really messed up for my little power.

I've become really worried about Logan. He just left on foot after the service. Rouge said he'd be back soon or not.

I had been eavesdropping a lot on the adults, trying to see what they know. So far we knew the cure was a mutant him self. They're using the cure as a weapon. Also that Mystique, Magneto's assistant, was cured in a raid to get more soldiers for their army.

I was slugging to Storm's office, the Professor's old one, when I heard them talking, the missing man included.

"Their attacking Alcatraz Island tonight." Logan said.

"How do you know this?" Hank asked.

"I went to the Brotherhood's camp to find Jean," he admitted.

"Was she there?" Storm asked.

"Yeah but she was completely her other side." Logan said.

"So they must be after the cure boy," Hank hypothesized.

"That's what I would like to think instead of jut going their to kill everyone," Logan said. "We need to get in their and stopped them, quick."

"How we only have the two of us, and retired Hank of there," Storm said.

"We have the kids," Logan said.

"I'm not putting them in that amount of danger. They haven't had much training," Storm said but I cut her off.

"We've had enough. Besides, we're all you got," Molly said.

"Molly, how many times do I have to tell you not to eavesdrop?" Storm asked angrily.

"A lot." I replied.

"I think they could do it," Hank agreed.

"Strom trust us," I smiled.

"Fine we leave in less than twenty." she demanded.

No one's POV

Everyone was suited and on the jet ten. The ride was silent and quick. What they saw brought their jaws to the floor. Magneto had turned the entire Golden Gate Bridge to allow his army across. When they arrived the could see the war they would soon join. The US military was able to use their cure guns and overtake the Brotherhood so far.

When they landed the X-Men fled from the jet. They made their entrance. Storm had fog generate around the island, no one outside of here needed to see this. Colossus was now covered head to toe in his own armor. Rouge had removed her gloves and Gambit had his cane and cards ready. They lined up Hank, Storm, Colossus, kitty, Rouge, Gambit, Molly, and lastly Logan and were ready to go.

Logan nodded to Kitty and Kitty nodded back. This was it, the time had come. Rouge and Gambit shared a quick kiss and Kitty and Colossus did so also.

"Coming out mutant right?" Logan asked.

"Duh!" Molly said. "Are you?"

"Plan on it," he said.

"What about alive?" she asked.

"Now that is the stupidest question I have ever heard," he laughed.

"Just asking," she huffed. "I would hate to have to find a new best friend."

"I'm your best friend?" he asked.

"Yeah, Gambit and Rouge are getting pretty close." Molly commented.

"Well if Rouge has a new best friend then you would have to be mine too." he said.

"Oh I'm that important?" she asked faking surprise.

"Of course, kid." he said smiling.

But before she could say anything mean back the second wave came through. This time flaming cars were slamming everywhere. That's when Hank and Wolverine went in first, next was Gambit and Colossus, then Rouge and Storm, and finally Molly, as a lion, with Kitty gripping onto her back.

Molly's mission was to get Kitty quickly to the building so she could go get Jimmy, the cure boy. Molly was moving through swerving left and right. When she got to drop off Kitty she didn't stop just flung her towards the wall without stopping.

Hank was hitting, and kicking left and right. He was slamming people into each other and overpowering them with his strength.

Wolverine wasn't doing anything much different except he was slashing with his claws left and right.

Storm became highly prioritized with Callisto. Callisto was zipping from side to side. Storm was producing gust of winds and lightening bolts trying to stop this crazy chick.

Gambit was doing good. He was distracting them with his exploding cards and striking with his cane and fist.

Colossus was taking down the bigger mutants, and he didn't struggle with many.

Rouge was probably having the hardest time. She was using hand-to-hand combat while trying to touch the other mutant's skin. She was often pushed back and into another brawl.

Molly was having the time of her life. She was morphing from on animal to another to human. Throwing fire and ice around. She was taking on as many as five at a time.

Meanwhile Kitty was busy outsmarting Juggernaut to get to Jimmy before he did.

Hank pulled Wolverine aside all bit more into fight time, when nothing looked like it was going anywhere.

"How's it going? Wolverine asked.

"Good, but I do have to say old age is setting in," Hank joked.

"True," Wolverine agreed. "I don't think these kids can last much longer."" he said looking over at Colossus and Molly who, even working together, were starting to have a hard time.

"I'll think of something as soon as we see that Kitty has maintained the cure," hank said before they broke to continue the war.

Rouge was getting tired. She was wearing down. At this time she was against two mutants, Quill and Arclight. Arclight had just temporarily stunned her by screaming at a pitch that came close to shattering her eardrums. Quill cam in with a fist but it was covered in porcupine like spikes.

She fell back down and this time didn't get up. Logan rushed to her side and grabbed her hand for only a second. He helped her sit up slowly and she had blood coming from three cuts, on her forehead, cheek, and other side of her face.

"Are you ok kid?" he asked worriedly.

"I will be," she said as the blood started to stop. :But I don't think I can last much longer."

"Just a little longer, Hank and I are working on something." Logan said.

"Ok," Rouge said wobbling to her feet.

Rouge ran towards where those last two went. She was going to kill them if it was the last thing she did. While she was search she saw Strom finally fry Callisto. The she found her victims running towards Magneto, who was set one a hill with Pyro and Jean next to him.

"Hey!" Rouge yelled after them.

They turned around and laughed. "Come back for more?"

"No, actually I've come to end you," she said focusing on her energy, her eyes filled green and she forced it upon them.

They fell to the ground and within second they were deathly pale. Rouge grabbed each of them by the neck and they struggled for even a final breath. Then she used Quill's power on the both of them, in the neck. Rouge walked away wiping the blood off of her face and smiling.

Then she saw Molly and Kitty helping a young bald boy, dressed incomplete white running from the scene. Storm and Gambit were coming from her right and she looked to see Colossus, Hank, and Wolverine all huddled together.

Hank ran off and Logan and Colossus stood their for a second and then Colossus picked Logan up and tossed him, claws first at Magneto. Then Rouge and Colossus ran off towards the others.

Logan ended up floating under Magneto's control. When Rouge was confused and amazed at how stupid that idea was Hank jumped from behind him injecting him with the cure.

When this happened the army was able to take care of most of the left standing Brotherhood. After a bit Molly looked back to see Logan speaking to Jean. Then more soldiers showed up and fired.

The Phoenix resurfaced quickly to stop the darts in mid-air and shatter them all. When she saw her friends horror she began towards Logan. Storm instructed them all back to the jet but only Molly didn't listen.

She looked at Jean, she saw the pain on her face. She knew that this wasn't under Jean's control. As the Phoenix got angrier water around the island began to levitate. Molly looked around at Jena' pained expression and the other's horror around her. Then Molly knew what she had to do.

Logan turned to her and yelled, "Get out of here!"

"No you get out of here!" she yelled back.

"Molly you remember that purpose conversation?" he asked.

"Yeah."

"Mine is to protect all of you, now let me do it!" he demanded.

"Well I found mine too!" she said to him. "It's to save all of you."

"What?" he asked.

"I won't be making it completely out of here." Molly said. "I'm sorry." People and things around them began to disintegrate. She knew she had to hurry. "I may be a kid to you but I know one thing, I love you." Molly said before kissing him for the first and last time.

The few seconds it lasted were special for both of them. They were both tearful afterwards. Molly brought the power to her hands and pushed him far back to safety. She looked back for the last time at her friends they were trying to help the few people left to safety.

Molly turned to Jean and they looked eyes. The Phoenix knew something was up and got angrier, speeding up her process. Slowly, but surely, Molly made her way to Jean's body. By the time she got up there everyone had made their way either out alive or dead and the building was almost completely gone.

"Jean!" Molly yelled. "You're hurting a lot of people!" Molly gasped as her skin would disintegrate and then heal just as quickly. You have to stop before you kill everyone, all of you're friends!"

"I see you plan to die either way," The Phoenix said watching over her destruction. "You will die to save these people, foolish."

"Not really, I save the people I love. I don't nearly kill them like you did Scott!" Molly said and she saw a change in the Phoenix.

"Molly save yourself." Jean gasped crying.

"No," Molly whispered able to move close enough to put both hands on both temples. "Just you and everyone else." Molly was crying knowing this was truly it, it was time to give it all to save the few she really cared about. "Tell them I said goodbye."

Then as Logan and the other peeked over from the hill a bright flash blinded them all. After it was over everything clamed down, the water fell back and the winds and gravity went back to normal.

Logan rushed to the spot where Jean was now lying on her side. He turned her over and she woke, as if it was a dream.

"Where is she?" Logan yelled.

"Who?" Jean asked.

"Molly!" he searched around with his eyes but saw nothing.

"She said to tell everyone goodbye," Jean sobbed.

Logan sobbed with her until the others made their way over. They asked the same question Logan did and got the same answer and ended in the same state. Storm and Hank got them together and in the X-Jet and they were off to the empty school.

When they got back the first thing Jean did was have Storm and Logan take her to Scott. Jean knew what to do when she arrived in the room. She was able to put his mind back together. When it was done she sat by his side and wait for five minutes he awoke.

"I'm so sorry, Scott." she said hoping for forgiveness.

He jumped off the table and enveloped her in a hug. "I love you," he said kissing her.

"I love you too," she said both crying tears of joy.

An observing Logan also held tears inside of him. He was now just realizing about the feeling ha and Molly shared. She wasn't a kid like all the rest. Fate tried twice to put them together, once on that horrible island he woke up and then at this school.

But it seemed the fate also had a schedule and they couldn't make it work fast enough. He left the sight of other and retreated to his room. Kitty and Rouge had gone to the garden to see Bobby and Gambit had gone on a flight in his plane.

Storm had headmaster things to do so she had to just hold it in for a while. Hank had showed Jimmy around and then had to leave for political business. Things stayed quiet that night except the tears that were flooding the ground of their rooms.

Two Weeks Later:

The students had all returned and they had a service for Molly and removed Jean's memorial. Jean and Scott were now engaged, they didn't want anything to tear them apart again. All the things began to settle into as normal as they would get around here.

Gambit had come back a few days ago and he was wasted and rich, coming from the casino. He stumbled to his room and hasn't come out. If it wasn't for the screaming of life and misery they would have thought he was dead.

Rouge never went back for the cure. After seeing that Molly had her powers for a purpose she thought maybe she'd have one too.

Colossus helped Kitty move on the best he could. She studied a lot alone but when she wasn't doing that she and Rouge were at Bobby's grave or with Colossus and Logan in the garden.

Even though it is hard with a death of a friend or love life will move because the world won't stop for one person's death. Time will heal the wounds and you eventually move on, it's just a fact of life.
