Previously:

"I will ask her if she would like to stay here while you are gone." Elane kissed her husband, "Go ahead and make plans with the boys. I will get you a bag ready when I get the groceries put away." Gill shook his head making her cross her arms, "Gill."

"Don't Gill me, you are pregnant with my child." He gave a small smile as he hugged her around the waist, "You will do none of the things you have mentioned. I will put away the groceries and pack my bag. You will rest."

"You are too good for me you know that."

Remy smiled hearing that, 'Alexis used to say the same tings when she was pregnant wit Angela.' He leaned on his hand, 'Remy wonders how Etan is doing. Is he getting enough sleep? Is he still crying? Is he getting enough to eat? Etan, please be good for mommy.' His sightless eyes looked toward the window thinking about his own family.

Now:

White fire flew burning the dummy that was in the practice room. It practically melted in seconds due to the intense heat of the flames. When the dummy got done melting Pete (1) gasped for air. He had been at this for three hours straight in the training room trying to get some of his powers down. 'I have to be better by the time Remy gets back. I just have to. I have to be able to manipulate the heat intensity without wearing myself down.' He whipped his brow, "Ug, why can't I get this down faster. I am controlling fire. Manipulating the heat intensity should be easy."

"Not as easy as you are making it." The red haired teen looked at Wolverine still gasping, "When Pyro was talking about getting better with his fire control he said that it took him a while to get it down. That is with him not able to produce it." The feral pointed at Pete, "You produce the flame that is what is making it harder to control. Your attitude however is exactly what you need to get the control you desire."

Light green eyes looked in Logan's eyes, "Yet when I am upset the flames come too easy when I want to hold them back. It is ridiculous that I have to worry about that. They do the opposite I want them to."

Logan chuckled at the frustrated teenager, "These powers are not going to be easy to control." Light green eyes looked at his temporary teacher, "It doesn't matter type of user gets. Even with people like Ice Man it is sometimes difficult to control his abilities when he is upset."

Pete's jaw dropped, "But he has such good control."

"Control isn't worth anything if you can't keep said control. Control is a work in progress, a twenty-four seven job for life." The teenager sat down eyes down cast. Logan rolled his eyes at himself, 'Good job numnuts.' Sitting in front of the teen he spoke again, "Let me tell you something. Just because my only ability other than healing is claws doesn't mean I don't have to keep my mind on them." Green eyes peeked up at Logan still quite upset, "I get nightmares sometimes. When I do I wake up to stabbing my bed or the floor at times. Imagine me lying next to a loved one." Pete winced at the thought, "Yeah, but your not me. You got some flames that can be heated to rather high temperatures but that said you the raising of temperature has to be a conscious thought. You got that down. What you need to start focusing on is getting the fire to listen to you."

"Easier said then done."

"Bub, would you want Remy to hear you say that?" Pete looked up and shook his head, "Yeah, I didn't think so. If you don't want him to hear you say that then you can't say that to me. I will tell him everything that happened so he gets what he needs to know. I am taking all kinds of notes. Keep that in mind."

Pete paled hearing that, "Please, don't tell him I said that."

Logan smirked, "Then don't ever tell me that again. While it is true it is easier said than done you know Remy has not set that mindset in you all."

The teenager looked down sheepishly, "I promise."

Wolverine chuckled at poor Pete, "You can do it kid I know you can." Light green eyes looked up with a small smile, "You are actually doing a really good job at getting your powers down believe it or not."

"You know Professor Logan is right." Pete looked up at Whitney (3) surprised, "You and Ryan (4) are two that are getting better before the rest of us."

"R…really?" The pyro teen asked in shock.

The pale grey eyed female nodded, "Yeah, you and Ryan have gotten better. Have you not noticed Ryan breaking less locks or even more importantly when you are irritated you really need to be angry for you powers to go super crazy like when we first got Remy as our teacher." The female said with a wide smile, "You are doing a really good job. Why do you think Professor Logan has been focusing on you so much lately?"

"I…I don't…"

Logan chuckled, "It's true, Remy told me you were getting better. He even suggested that you get extra Danger Room time to help get the control you need."

Pete gave a wide and giddy smile, "I…I had no idea." His green eyes focused on his hands as the flame came to life in his hands upon command, "I did it. And I'm happy."

"Yeah, he told me that too. Remy had suggested that I tell you that you were getting better control. I didn't say anything because I thought you could figure it out yourself. Apparently I was wrong." The feral laughed out lightly, "You want to give the room a shot one more time?"

Pete nodded eagerly standing up as Whitney and Logan walked out of the room. 'All this time, and I was doing better than I thought I was.' He looked at the white fire pulsing around his hands, 'I can do this. I can get the control I have wanted.'

Gill (2) looked at Remy fast asleep next to him. 'He is so tired.' His sunglasses were off and in the cup holder. Pyro and Colossus were in the front seat the Russian driving.

"So what can you do as your ability?" Gill looked at fire using mutant, "Sorry, I'm just curious."

"Oh, I have the ability to control electronics." Gill replied leaning back against his seat.

Pyro's jaw dropped, "Really that is pretty cool. Now I get why you have those cool veins."

The married man chuckled, "Thanks, it isn't often they get called cool."

"Well they are. They are like super cool."

"Thank you John, that means a lot to me."

"What about what you do for a living?" Peter asked from the driver's seat. They were headed to Alabama and should be there in about four hours. Gill had given Ava a call letter her know they were on their way.

"I work at an electronic store. I felt it was better for me to do it that way. That way I could practice my control around electronics." The blond haired male smiled at the Russian, "Besides you never know when someone is going to bring in a computer that needs to be fixed."

John gave a quite chuckle, "It sounds like you have a great job."

"Yes, I love my job."

"I hope there wasn't too much a problem with getting the time off." Colossus asked with a small glance.

"No, they told me to take the time I needed." Gill responded with a small nod, "I just hope I'm in time for my wife when she delivers. I should be but you never know how long this will take."

"Even if you don't then you will get to see your child when you get back." John said with a smile, "You will get a true surprise to see him or her when you get home."

"Yeah." Gill looked out the window with a happy expression, "I can't help it. I can't wait to see my child for the first time." Glancing at Remy he continued, "Remy told me it was the most magical moment of his life. I can't wait to feel that."

I hope you all enjoyed the chapter.

Now before you all go I want to tell you about a couple of things.

1) I wanted to tell you about the few stories coming to an end soon. It is two stories Mythical Hollow, A New Type of Enemy. Mythical Hollow has about seven chapters ready to publish and the eighth one part way written. However even now I can't tell when I will be done writing it so I can't tell how long that one has got left in it. A New Type of Enemy has about two to three chapters left I think if things go the way I am hoping. As for Water Gem the first installment is complete.

2) Now because this is the one that has finished I will be posting a new story for you all from the polls. So the poll is now closed. The story that won hands down was the one and only Vanishing Dreams. Now this story is a Fairy Tail and Bleach crossover. I really hope you all enjoy when I get it posted.

3) I also will be posting a new story along with Vanishing Dreams. I am just too eager to get it out there and it has a really good amount of chapters set up so I can start to post. : ) I am super proud of this story like no tomorrow. This story is a Halo and Mass Effect Crossover called The Spartan Crew Member. Now I know so many people have done this story but I really wanted to write this story with my own touch. I have read a couple I really like. They inspired me to put my own thought that I had to work.

I hope you all have a very God bless day.
