Eric turned to leave but Xavier spoke before Eric could leave the room. "if you walk out that room then you will have to find a new place to stay. I don't want someone like you in this house."

CHAPTER 14

Eric sighed and slowly turned around so he was facing Xavier. "so it finally comes out. I don't agree with you so you throw me out. Wish I could say I was surprised but I'm not. Very well Xavier. I won't come back." With that Eric left the room got on his bike and speed off into the distance. For a long moment no one said anything then a voice from above spoke. "Thanks a lot Xavier no we have to deal with him." Everyone looked up to find acell sitting on a bookshelf looking down at them. Sighed acell leapt down from the bookshelf and became a blur around the room. Clothing flew out of the dressed and packed themselves into suitcases that had appeared out of nowhere.

After several second everything in the room that had been Eric's was packed away. Acell smiled at Kurt and then picked up the suit cases. In the blink of an eye he was gone. A heart beat later he was back the suit cases were gone. Acell smiled to Kurt again and then turned to leave but Kurt put his hand on his shoulder. He was shaking from head to toe and was terrified of what the others would think when he said what he was going to do. "acell I know you don't like doing personal favors but…………… would you pack my things as well and take them to where ever you took Eric's stuff?" acell smiled and then nodded. "Yeah. So I take it you're not going to hide anymore?' Kurt nodded and turned to the others, who looked stunned. Evan Xavier looked shocked at what he had asked. "guys………… well." Kurt sighed and then just spoke his mind. "shit well I'm gay and I love Eric so deal." With that Kurt left with acell and helped pack.

ERIC'S POV

Eric pulled into the parking lot for exo-gene. David had called him and said they had located the genesis armor. But as he pulled into the lot he found no cars in the lot, no guards in the security booths and no response when he called David's phone. He had just gotten of his bike when the ground shook and broke apart behind him. Eric whipped around only to receive a full force punch to the chest. The punch sent him flying the length of the lot and crashing into the building on the far side, through the glass windows before coming to a rest just inside the main lobby. Coughing trying to heal himself from a punch that should have killed even him Eric stood up and was forced to grab the front desk to steady himself. He had just managed to look up in time to throw himself to the left, as another punch obliterated the front desk he had been leaning on a moment ago. Eric could only vaguely see a blur picture of what he was facing. The first punch had really messed up his vision. Once again he was forced to dodge an attack at the last moment or risk being obliterated. Shaking his head he tried desperately to clear his vision.

A moment later he felt himself being grabbed and lifted off the ground. Next a crushing force began to close around him, crushing the life out of him. A moment later a voice filter with electronic scramblers spoke. (think the iron monger's voice from iron man) "Well well, well, look what has happened to you Eric. You were on top of the world and now you're about to be killed with your own creation. So what do you think about that?" Eric gasped as his chest was crushed even more. Only an act of desperation saved him. Eric send out massive waves of kinetic energy outwards from his body. The effect was his release and his attacker being thrown 60 feet up wards before gravity took over and began to pull the suit back down. But whoever was in the suit had other plans. Even before the suit hit the ground it twisted so it was standing straight up. A moment later the front of the suit opened and Eric found himself staring at the blurring outline of his brother Daniel.

Eric's head swam as he stood there. How had this happened how had Daniel his own brother gotten hold of the genesis armor, and more importantly why was he attacking Eric with it? Eric tried to speak but found he was unable to; all he could do was stand there like an idiot with his jaw hanging open. Daniel took advantage of that and attacked. Using the integrated targeting system in the suit he locked on to Eric and sent half a dozen cluster missiles at Eric. Eric just barely managed to dodge the first 2 missiles and destroy the last 6 headed straight for him. Only then did he find his voice. "Daniel……………. Why?" Daniel laughed, he laughed right then and there. Just floated there in mid air and laughed. "Why? WHY!!!? BECAUSE YOU'RE A GOD DAMN FREAK YOU LITTLE FAGOT!! YOU AND YOUR KIND NEED TO BE WHIPED FROM THE EARTH NOW DIE!!" a dozen more missiles flew at Eric who by now had regained his ability to think. With a flick of his wrist the missiles exploded as they left the suit.

Eric just stood there. How could this have happened? "So it was you on the phone not David?" Daniel chuckled. "Duh. I also broke in and stole the suit I'm also responsible for the death of Alice on ios. She had used up her usefulness, and she was a loose end. So I disposed of her. JUST LIKE I'LL DO WITH YOU!" instead of missiles Daniel tried another punch at Eric. Using the suit's jets he launched forward and tried to hit Eric with a bone liquefying punch. Eric rolled out of the way and 'tapped' the underside of the suit. Daniel flew upwards into the ceiling and up several floors, before finally stopping somewhere on the 23rd floor. Eric used this time to try and escape the building he was not able to use all of his power when he was in the building. He had just made back to his bike and was in the process of trying to start it when Daniel burst from the building, and landed in the lot. Daniel grabbed the front of Eric's bike and picked it up throwing Eric clean off it and several feet away. Eric had only just regained his ability to tell up from down when Daniel brought the bike down right where he lay. Rolling to the left Eric narrowly avoided being crushed by his only memory of john. Sadly for the bike it did not fare so well. The bike shattered like glass when it hit the concrete ground. Tears welled up in Eric's eyes as the bike broke and he lost the last memory of john.

Eric was angry now not only had he been attacked by his brother but he had lost his bike johns last gift to him. Eric let out a roar of rage and charged Daniel dodging pin laser shots, and ducking a punch as he moved in right in front of Daniel. The blow hit Daniel like a truck, sending him reeling backwards into the ground. He barely had enough time to re engage his chest plate before her hit the ground. In a flash Eric was on top of him beating with all of his might on the adimanthium lined armor of the suit. Inside the suit Daniel grinned. There was no way Eric could break this suit it was built to kill him. Daniel swatted at Eric like he would a fly. The attack connected and sent Eric flying through the air and across the lot to the far side.

Standing back up Eric managed to dodge Daniel who had lunged at him and now crashed into the steel frame of the building behind him. This was bad he was fighting a losing battle he knew he had no chance of beating Daniel alone. but he had no way of getting them there. His cell phone had been in one of his bike's side pockets and he could not send a mental cry to them from this distance. So he did the last thing he could. He sent out a massive bolt of lightning into the sky and prayed that someone would see and help him. For several seconds he stood there hoping and praying for a miracle. He was only broken out of his hope by the sound of Daniel throwing rubble at him.

Eric dodged most of the piece and blasted apart the one could wasn't fast enough to avoid. He was getting tired and low on energy. He could not keep this up for much longer without repowering. Daniel had picked himself up now and held several section of the building with the suits help and threw them. Out of anger Eric blasted each piece before it had a chance to leave the suit's grip. "Daniel how could you do this?! I trusted you, I thought you were different. Why?!" once again Daniel's cold laughter rang through the lot. "Why!? Cause you're a freak. You and everyone like you. When I'm done killing you I'll move on to sky and then Adam oh but first I'll kill your precious Kurt. Maybe I'll keep you alive long enough to see me kill him." Anger welled up, deep in Eric's chest. No one hurt Kurt. NO ONE! Daniel's laughter was cut off as bolts of lightning numbering in the thousands flew at him. He had no time to dodge them and found himself driven backwards father into the building as each bolt hit him. Daniel grunted as one of the bolts hit his leg and forced him onto one knee. He just looked up to find his electronic view full of Eric as he flew towards him. A moment later he was thrown through several support beams and then came to rest against one of the beams. A moment later he felt his helmet jerked upwards, as Eric pulled his face level with his own. His face screen became full of Eric's face, a moment later Eric punched the helmet cracking the video screen. Then his face came closer and Eric spoke. "I should show restrain because you're my brother but I don't really feel in a forgiving mood today. So I'm going to hurt you and then I'm going to turn you over to the exo-gene authorities. My guess they'll have a trail find you guilty and then…. Well that's up to the jury. But it won't be good."

He expected fear he expected begging. So when Daniel began to laugh again it only served to anger and confuses Eric. A moment later he found out why. It was a small feeling at first. A simple electric pulse on the back of his neck. Eric leapt backwards and did a flip straight up narrowly avoiding the cruise missile that had been flying straight for his back. A moment later Eric was thrown from the building, as fire blossomed from the point of impact. Eric hit the ground and gouged a 15 feet gouge in the concrete as he slid from the force of the blast. For a moment he just lay there, on his back, looking up at the blue sky. It truly was beautiful it was calm, and simple. His thoughts were interrupted as another cruise missile headed straight for him. A simple stern glare and the missile exploded in mid flight. Slowly Eric got to his feet. He knew he was hurt, badly. He could feel several broken bones and he was almost out of energy.

Slowly painfully Eric limped towards the exit of the lot. He had just set foot outside when a noise hit his ears. Cringing Eric turned and found the source of the noise. Daniel had pulled himself free of the ruble and now held a huge section of the building in his hands. The chunk in question was about the side of a city bus and must have weighed about 4 tons. A moment later Daniel hurled the piece of building at Eric with all the strength the suit could manage. The chunk hit Eric full force and sent him not only flying into the streets but into the building on the other side of the street and through half a dozen walls.

It took most of Eric's strength to push the chunk off of him. He had been right the chunk weighed 4 tons. Even as he pushed the piece off of him he felt several ribs had broken and were now sticking at awkward angles inside of his body. And while he didn't have to worry about cutting any internal organs the broken bones would limit his range of motion and the pain would limit his focus. Eric whimpered as he moved. His insides felt like they were on fire. Even as he moved he could feel bones grinding against each other. His brief moment of pain was washed out a moment later by a stream of adrenalin rushed through his body, and not a moment too soon. He had only just managed to push the chunk off of himself when Daniel was on him pinning him to the ground with the suit massive hands. The pressure on his chest was incredible. He knew if he had internal organs he would be dead, as it was he was beginning to get black spots in his vision which indicated brain trauma. His vision was fading and fast, his body felt cold and his 'heart' was almost out of energy. He thought he heard someone say something far off in the distance. A last sneer at him by his brother no doubt. A moment later the pressure vanished as Daniel was thrown off of him.

Eric rolled to the left only to narrowly avoid what he thought would be a killing blow, only to find that no blow came but a voice from somewhere away from him. "You will not harm Eric. Not now not ever." Blinking furiously Eric's vision cleared and he found sky had pushed Daniel off of him and was now pinning him to the wall. A moment later electronic numbers began to wound their way around the suit as Adam's power began to take effect. A moment later Daniel broke free of sky's grip and push sky off of him, soon after the number's vanished and Daniel surged forward swinging madly trying to hit Eric. But Eric was no longer where he had been. He now was in a crouched position holding the chunk of building he had been hit with earlier.

With all his strength Eric threw the chunk as hard as he could at Daniel. The piece flew through the air and hit Daniel sending him back out into the street. Slowly Eric pulled himself to his feet. "Sky Adam, you guys saw my call for help?" sky who was floating next to him shook his head. "no. Eric this is on the news. The 2 cruise missiles set off the military; they'll be here in 15 minutes. So if we want to keep the suit we need to beat Daniel fast. Can you think of anything that might help us beat it?" Eric sighed and shook his head, trying to clear the small ringing that had started in his ears. "no as far as I know this suit is the ultimate weapon on the planet. It was built to kill me if I ever turned against my friends. As far as I know I can't beat it."

By then Adam had come over and was configuring parts of electronics from the wreckage. "Not true. Daniel didn't engage the safety locks. While we can't puncture the suit we can overload it or shut it down. It also doesn't have its battery at full capability. He has only 15 or 20 more minutes of power. We just have to wait him out." Eric shook his head. "no if I know Daniel he's reconfigured the suit to run of his own energy. So long as we keep hitting him he'll just keep absorbing it. No we have to keep him from getting more power to his suit." Sky shrugged and looked to Adam who shrugged back. "well if that's all we've go-" Adam was cut off as Daniel tore back through the hole he had torn through the wall a few moments ago.

"oh great your all hear. Now I don't have to track you all down to kill you. NOW DIE!!" Daniel sent dozens of small missiles at them. Eric by now who was slightly annoyed sent a bolt of lightning through the center of the cluster. Dozens of missiles exploded in mid air and dozens more due to the shock waves. "Ok. Sky you and me will try to keep him occupied. Adam, you try to hack your way back into the suit and shut it down from the inside." No sooner had Eric said this then the wall behind them was ripped apart and Daniel in his suit came through.

"now I'm really mad." Eric and sky lunged forward and hit Daniel in the chest. Daniel Eric and sky both flew from where they had been and flew upwards about 45 feet hit the opposite building's wall and slid down to the ground. Daniel swung around and tried to grab sky but was blocked when Eric grabbed his wrists and flung his body so Daniel was pinned against the wall. A moment later numbers spun across the suit as Adam began to 'enter' the suit and shut it down. For several moments, Eric fought with all his strength to keep Daniel from breaking free. The he felt Adam begin to succeed in his job. Slowly Daniel began to lose power as the suit began to lose its main connection to him. Slowly Eric let go of the suit and even slower stepped away from Daniel. Slowly Adam stepped out from behind the suit and looked from Eric to the suit, which now stood powerless.

Slowly sky moved so he was next to Eric, a few moments ticked by as none of them spoke. Adam broke the silence. "Well Eric your luck we were here. I have no doubt that you could have beaten him but it would have cost the tax payer a lot more money." Eric smiled and playfully punched sky in the shoulder. They had just turned and had begun to walk away when a loud screeching noise ripped through the now calm air. Eric whipped around and only had enough time to throw himself at sky so as not to let him be hit by the lead pipe Daniel was trying to stab him with. Eric let out a loud cry of agony as the pipe speared through his chest and hit his heart. A blinding flash of light burst from his chest and a ray of power came out of the pipe and hit Daniel squarely in the chest. Daniel flew upwards and began to glow a bright blue color as the suit's main energy core breached itself.

Eric's world seemed to slow down as he realized the situation. The suit's core had breached, that meant all the power and energy in the suit would go off in one huge blast. From what he had learned from fighting the suit it probably ran off a nuclear of arch reactor. If either of those options were, the case the explosion would take out most of the city and cause massive damage due to the radiation and the fallout. His decision was made for him in a heartbeat. Even if he got the explosion away from the city, it would destroy a large section of the eco-system. That meant he only had one thing to do. He had to get it from earth. Eric pushed off from the ground and hit Daniel. Placing both hands against Daniel's suits chest, and pushed off with all his might which all things considered was not nearly as much as he would have liked. He was flying now flying faster than he had ever flown in his life. Clouds, birds and planes flew passed him as he continued his way upwards into space. A moment later, he felt his body become in tune with the suit's core. Although it was not enough to stop the suit from exploding, it was enough to keep him flying and minimize the risk of premature explosions.

Eric put all he had into keeping himself flying. He was tired, every muscle in his body screamed at him to stop and rest. His vision was blurring probably the result of some minor brain damage. Even as he held the 4-ton suit above his head, he could feel his arms shaking with the strain of keeping the suit up. He was close to his goal of space now. The air was insanely thin and he could feel the pin pricks of cold as he left the relative warmth of the planet. A split second later heat hit him like a truck on the interstate. The heat was so intense so blinding so all consuming. If his absorption field had not kicked in, he knew he would have been dead. As it was, it took all his will to keep himself going and not stop or slow down. Nevertheless, he had to keep going. For several agonizing seconds pain from the heat ripped his body apart, he could feel his cloths burning and his skin burning. A heartbeat later nothing but cold surrounded him. He had made it he was out of the earth's atmosphere. He put as much power as he could into his flight.

He was close to the end now. He could feel the core destabilizing as he continued trying to get as far away from earth as possible. He must have been far enough now. Slowly he came to a stop. He put all his remaining power he pushed the suit as far away as he could. He was about to let go when Daniel used the last of the power he had to grab Eric's wrist and lock his hand in place. Eric only had time to let out a silent shout of "no!"

KURT'S POV

He had seen it all. The fight the plan and even Eric taking to the sky. Kurt Wagner had ported outside when he learned of what was going on. By the time he made it to where they had been Eric was long gone. Sky was looking up at the Sky, Adam had his arm around him and was tending to a wound on sky's neck. Others had appeared now. Dozens of other exo-gene workers had shown up. Kurt recognized feline, bio, and several others from the party exo-gene had thrown. Almost all of them were looking upwards at the sky, looking for some sign of Eric's return.

ERIC'S POV

Eric tried in vain to loosen Daniel grip on his wrist but it was all for not. a second before the core blew Daniel spoke. "You lose fag." That was the last thing Eric would hear.

KURT'S POV

Back on Earth, a second blue sun blossomed into existence in the sky. Everyone in the streets had to shield their eyes as the light from the explosion blinded them. A moment later, the explosion cooled and dissipated. A moment later, a feeling of pure terror ran through Kurt's body. He was not sure how he knew he just knew, Eric had not survived the blast. Slowly denial kicked in. Eric could not have died he wouldn't have died, but he somehow knew Eric had not survived. Slowly Kurt's legs went weak and he sank to the ground as silent sobs racked his body. He felt someone pull him into a tight hug and he did the only thing he could think of. He clung to that person and cried until his head hurt. Then bio's voice came from above him. "I'm sorry Kurt. I'm so sorry, he didn't deserve to die."

Anger, denial, and loss of hope all crashed into each other at once. Kurt pushed bio so hard that he fell to the ground and stared up at him. Kurt voice was full of desperation, fear and sadness. Tears streamed his face as he shouted at bio. "Don't say that! Don't you fucking say it! He is not dead! He can't be…. He…he-" Kurt was blinded by tear he fumbled desperately in his pocket and finally found what he was looking for. Kurt pulled out something in his hand and collapsed on the ground. "He can't be dead." Slowly bio got up and pulled Kurt into another huge. Kurt sobbed and clutched his hand tightly around the object he had pulled out of his pocket. Slowly bio carefully pried open Kurt's hand. Inside his tear socked blue hand was a small gold band that would have easily fit around Kurt's finger.

ERIC'S POV

Eric floated in nothingness. He was neither here nor there. Slowly Eric turned around in his new world. Blackness stretched as far as he could see. Slowly Eric spun around, and tried to find the source of an intense whispering noise in his ears. "Well well, well, web it looks like the final move is about to be made." Eric spun around for the umpteenth time and found he was not alone, as he had thought. 2 people were in front of him. One of them was a middle-aged man, he wore full metal armor covering all his body, and had the air of a wise man about him. Next to his sitting on a small throne an old woman sat. Her hair was flaked with gray and white. Her eyes were covered by round red glasses that completely hid them, from his sight. Her body was covered with what looked like a suit that tapered off much like that of a snake. Slowly Eric glided towards them until he was right in front of them. "who are you?"

The woman smiled at him. "I am Madam Web. And this" she gestured to the man next to her. "this is the Beyonder." The man nodded to Eric who felt afraid of the man. Madam web smiled and chuckled. "Do not worry. Beyonder will not harm you. In fact, neither of us can harm you. In fact that's why you're here. You are here because you have one final choice to make. You've died your body is floating in space torn apart. There is no way for you to be heal, yourself, not even with your power as vast as it may be. Not without our help. We only ask you this. What will you do? Will you for one of the few times in your life be selfish and ask to live again or will you accept your death and move on to the next plain of existence? The choice is yours."

Eric felt slightly dizzy. He was dead and yet here he was being given the option to come back, to live again. To fulfill his promise to Kurt.

FLASHBACK

There were on ios. Eric ran his hand slowly down Kurt's chest. He himself lay in a cocoon of blankets and sheets. Kurt smiling looked up at him and smiled. A second later Eric pulled Kurt into a tight kiss. Playfully Kurt pushed away from Eric and laid his head back down on Eric's chest. For several minutes, they both lay there then Kurt felt Eric tap him on the head. Still smiling Kurt looked up expecting to find Eric kissing him again. Instead, he found Eric holding a small gold ring and questioning look on his face. for several moment Kurt just looked at him stunned. Then all at once, the gravity of the situation hit him like a ton of bricks. Eric was asking Kurt if he would marry him. Smiling Kurt pulled Eric into a tight kiss, took the ring from Eric and put it on his finger. "Of course I'll marry you Eric, I love you."

END OF FLASHBACK

Slowly Eric looked up at madam web and the Beyonder. He knew what he wanted. "I've always tried to be selfless. I've always tried to do the right thing in this world, but for now I'm going to be a bad guy. I want to live. There is still so much more work I have to do. I choose life." Eric looked at madam web and the Beyonder with defiance in his eyes. For the first, time the Beyonder spoke. "I told you web. I told you he would choose life. Not because of his own desire to live but his desire to spare others the pain of his death. I was right."

A flash of light so bright it blinded Eric sparked into existence. A heart beat later Eric opened his eyes. He was back on earth. In fact he was standing in the middle of the street outside of exo-gene head quarters. Slowly Eric turned to find dozens of his friends looking at him with some shock and disbelief. But among them was the one person he wanted to see more than any other. Kurt wager looked at him with aw and amazement. Slowly Eric moved forward and pulled Kurt into a hug. "Did you really think I'd leave you?' Kurt never got a chance to answer, as Eric pulled him into a tight kiss.

SEVEN MONTHS LATER

IOS

Kurt was shaking. It was unreal. He was getting married. Kurt had just closed his eyes in an attempt to calm himself. This was broken when someone spoke from behind him. "You look nice Kurt." Kurt opened his eyes and turned to find Rouge and Kitty. Kitty wore a light blue spaghetti strap dress and rouge wore her normal clothing. Kurt smiled and looked at himself. He had to admit he did look good. He was currently wearing a light blue tuxedo. That was one thing Eric had been adamant about; he had said Kurt was going to look his best. Kurt's tuxes in itself had cost more than $5000. The wedding itself was free. Valerie had just about exploded when they had asked to be married on her island. She had immediately launched into how many people to invite and what kind of flowers to have. It had been slightly overwhelming. Now 3 months later there they were.

Kurt looked up as kitty cleared her throat. "Kurt its time to go. You have a VERY important, engagement." Kurt nodded and slowly made his way out of his changing room and out to the courtyard where the wedding itself was being held. As Kurt made his way out to the courtyard he found himself looking around the yard. Everything was decorated to the absolute extreme. The bushes had thousands of lights strung out in them, same of the trees. As Kurt rounded the corner, Eric came into view. He wore a black tuxedo with a glow for his heart shining clearly through. For some reason ever since he had tried to save everyone from Daniel the symbiot in him had not been able to hide the glow. It still absorbed the radiation but not the glow from his heart.

Kurt came to stop next to Eric who smiled at him. Valerie stood in front of them in a white dress and held a small book in her hands. After a moment she cleared her throat and silence fell over everyone in the area. Then she spoke. "To the mortal eyes we are simple creatures. boy or girl, good or evil, white or black, gay or straight. This is not so. This idea of simplicity is a conjecture by time and our very nature in itself. Therefore it is a time of rejoice when any 2 beings come forward and join in our most complex and sacred act of unity. no matter how unique these creatures may be they share their desire to no longer be simple, but to become one complex being. It is with this though in mind that I Valerie M. Azura on this day to hereby proclaim that for all intents and purposes join Eric Tooms and Kurt Wagner with the bindings they have made with there love. May they always find happiness, and peace of mind." Kurt stool a glace at Eric and was slightly surprised to see a tear running down his cheek. He was not looking at Valerie but behind her and off to the left. Following his gaze he found that a shimmering outline of john Eric's previous boyfriend stood watching the ceremony, a look of pure happiness on his face.

Kurt smiled. Yes Eric had been john's lover but now Eric was his and he was determined never to loose him. Not today, not tomorrow not ever.

EPOLOG

Shortly after Eric's and Kurt's wedding a bill was passed by congress making exo-gene the official representative for mutants all over the world. for the next 2 years Eric and Kurt would work endlessly to get an embassy in every country not matter how big or how small.

Shortly after that was completed operation gene was ended. with the help of over 56 million scientists Eric was finally able to see his dream come true when the final gene on the mutant genome was recorded on September 16.

Adam and sky married about 3 months after Eric and Kurt did. Their wedding was much bigger and was broadcast on television as the first gay mutant marriage in all of history. No one saw any need to tell people other wise.

To this day most of the original people from Eric's think tank are gone.

Bio went on to become one of the most successful doctors in history. In 2010 president obama made him attorney general and with his help ending up find a cure for many illnesses once thought to be incurable. bio's only comment to this was, "it was nothing. I just did my job."

Feline would start working for S.H.I.E.L.D shortly after that she dropped off the map and had rarely been seen since. Rumor has it only Eric truly knows where she is.

Despite their disagreements Eric and Xavier would eventually become partners. And work together to help young mutants learn to control their powers.

Kurt would go on to join the L.G.B.H. league of gay bi heroes. he now is leader and has over 500 heroes under his command and leadership.

at the age of 96 both Eric and Kurt died while in their sleep. Their passing marked the end of 2 of the greatest heroes in history. Their funeral was broadcast in 56 languages and in over 1,000 countries, making it the most watched event in television history. they now lay in exo-genes private graveyard next to john and others who did unimaginable things to help exo-gene.

2 years after their death Eric tooms and Kurt Wagner were admitted into the hall of eternal fame as the greatest peacekeepers of all time. To this day they are taught to every school child in the world.

The times may be different, the world may have changed but their message lives on through out the ages. a message of love, peace, and hope that one day all being both human and mutant alike could live in a world free of hatred and fear.

A:N) well folks that's all I wrote. thank you for sticking with me and I hope you enjoyed the story. I do plan to write another xmen evolution story. but only after I finish up some of the other stories first. hope you don't mind.

I would like to specially thank all those who sent me emails about my story. it was much appreciated.

a very special thanks to david0703 who was the first to email me and remained by my side for the rest of the story. I could not have done it with out.

I wish I could say something classy and inspirational but that is just not my style. Instead I will leave you with my favorite quote in human history.

"If we have offended in any way. We offer no apology. Because we needn't need to. We have spoke our truths and let the good people interpret them in their own way and at their own pace. Once again we have taken people to the edge of the abyss and have let them look at what is at the bottom of it. For now and for always. Good night and good luck."
