I really love Vivian after everything that's happened. This is the final chapter of my story, and it's time to find out what kind of powers she earned, and which boy she will lose.

I hope you all enjoyed this story - I know it was long but hopefully worth it.

One Week Later

The two boys stood before me. Pietro and John. They are both handsome, evil and downright awesome, but I can only pick one. How cruel.

It's only been a week since I saved the world (and got that sandwich). It presented me with new powers, which were mostly useless. I can change the way I look so that I am golden. That means those damned cracks change from a gross flesh color to pure gold that sparkles. My eyes, lips and hair change too. It's pretty lame, but still pretty cool. I can also create and control gold particles (or huge lumps of gold). They weren't kidding when they named it The Golden Phoenix.

Lastly, I can heal now. That's right. I'm like Wolverine in the sense that if you stab me, I will heal myself. I don't heal others though, which is a bummer. So, three awesome powers for one person and right now instead of practicing them, I'm choosing a boyfriend.

They stood side by side, watching me as I paced in front of them.

"Well, Q, you are fast, and hopefully you can do other things fast besides running. Your also sweet, or try to be, and can be pretty funny despite your messed up family."

He nodded, smiling like the cut idiot he is.

"…And John. I've slept in your bed, found out you have anger issues and your crazy. So basically, I'm the female version of you."

He winks, pretending to be a player.

"All in all, you're both evil and crazy… but I've made my final decision."

I am silent, as though this is an epic game show.

"…John, I choose you"

He pumps a fist in the air like in the end of The Breakfast Club and runs over to hug me. He twirls me around and then sets me back on the ground. I look over at Pietro who nods and half smiles.

"That's cool, you can choose John now, but keep in mind, I'm not done trying. One day, you'll be mine. After all, this all sounds like a challenge."

He speeds off, and John puts his hands on my waist while turning me toward me.

"Mate can try all he wants, but I am keeping you, lovely"

We kiss, long and soft for what seems like ages – and it's great. Someone clears their throat behind us, and we stop to see who it is. Gambit has his arms crossed while he glares at us.

"Shimmer, it's time to learn how to heal faster. Have you forgotten that even though this isn't school, we still want you to be the best with your new powers?" He asks while twirling his stick.

"Fine" I say, while heading inside the Acolytes home with John behind me.

This is my new home. It looks like utter crap – and it really is – but it is the perfect place to live. This is my third home in years of life – and I couldn't love it more.

My name is Vivian. Code named Shimmer. I have the power of the Light Phoenix, able to destroy anything. My family is the Acolytes - as evil as they come - and we are unstoppable.
