Epilogue

"Your useless to me!" An angry, cold voice rang out, into the darkness of the night.

"No! Please! Just leave me be! I just want to continue with a normal life!" A voice pleaded, cracking and you could tell the woman was sobbing.

A short cruel laugh erupted. "You? A normal life? Sorry, honey but when you're a mutant, there's no such thing as 'a normal life'. Besides, everyone that's seen your face hates you." The laughing came back.

"But it wasn't me!"

"They don't know that." The voice said with an eerie calmness to it. "And quite frankly, I don't care if they find out. I can easily switch bodies." The voice said in a malice tone.

The other girl continued sobbing. For crying out loud she was only twenty-one! "Please! I beg you! Don't kill me!"

"I thought about it." Malice crooned. "And my decision is final." A short pause. "Say hello to Mr. Sinister for me."

A scream rang through out down town Sacramento. A scream of terror. A scream of pain. Everyone looked at the top of a building where a lifeless body fell off the roof top and went spiralling to the ground.

If a mutant had listened closely, they would have heard a small evil laugh, the laugh of a person that doesn't care what happens to others.

Malice floated beside Lorna Dane's body. "Such a waste. You had such lovely green hair." She said in a mock caring voice, knowing nobody could hear her.

"Now. Who shall be my next victim?" Malice whispered flowing easily down the street. She could have easily jumped into the body of the person next to her, but that would be foolish.

As she went down the street she noticed somebody flying above her. Jean 'Phoenix' Grey. She remembered her. "Jean Grey would be a powerful body to have under my control, but there are mutants far more powerful then her." She whispered to herself going down the street, deep in thought.

Then it clicked. Malice knew of a powerful mutant, a mutant she would love to get her hands on. And the mutant wouldn't even know what hit her. Malice laughed again. "Now all I need is a ride." She flew into the body of a teenager.

Let's get a look at your life shall we? Your name is Caitlin. You like to play soccer and basketball. Yuck! And you like to study history. Mm You'll do! At least until I get to New York.

"Who... who are you?" Caitlin asked in a scared voice.

"At the moment... I'm you." Caitlin's eyes went black as she walked down the street, heading in the direction of the airport.


A/N: And that's it! Dun Duunn Duuunnn. I guess I should give you all a preview for the next story. Here it is:

Rogue may have appeared calm on the inside, but inside she was hyper-ventilating. They had arrived in L.A. an hour ago, and there was no sign of Phoenix. Some people like Scott, were willing to wait all day, if they had too. Others like Logan, were getting impatient and began suspecting that it had been some false hope.

They had managed to clear some of the main roads, so when Phoenix came, civilians didn't get injured in the battle.

Finally Storm began agreeing with Logan. "Professor. We've been waiting a long time. Perhaps Phoenix isn't coming and it was a plan to get us out of the way of the other cities she destroys." Storm wasn't trying to sound rude, she was just giving voice to what people feared.

"While you present a reasonable argument Storm." Xavier was sitting and talking with the adult members of the team. "I have every right to trust the X-Man who told me. She will come." He finished off his short monologue.

The tiny voice of Jubilee cut the adults off. "Uh...guys? Guys! You might want to see this."

Just a heads up, I thought I should warn you... this series is going to be a LOT longer than I orginially intended. Like, a LOT longer... I just thought I'd warn you... I'm hoping to be nearly done by the beginning of the school year, but we'll have to see. Thank you to my loyal readers (and reviewers) Who keep reading and encouraging me. Yah... just thought I'd give you a bit of an idea of how long this will be... lots of stories still to come. Anyways, the next one: Tough Decisions... number 4! Look for it and see you all later! Lots of love!
