The ride in the jet was tense and quiet as everyone contemplated the battle to come. Vanessa knew that her dad and Loki were going to kill her if she survived this and that thought shocked her to her core, if she survived this. She took a deep breath steadying her nerves, she could do this and she would survive.

"Oh, my stars and garters." Hank breathed out as they hovered over Alcatraz.

"Go into stealth mode." Storm said as she flicked some toggles and the jet disappeared. Storm went in first using her lightning to force the brotherhood back. Beast leapt from the top of the building with a roar followed by Bobby who was clinging to Kitty as they jumped disappearing into the ground then popping back up.

"Don't ever do that again." Bobby said feeling a little unsettled.

Colossus jumped down in metal form causing a crater as Vanessa sailed down using her powers to levitate landing next to Colossus. Finally Wolverine came down using his claws to slow his descent. He rushed out in front of the soldiers making a line with the other X Men who stood between the Brotherhood and the soldiers.

"You men cover the doors!" Logan ordered. "Everybody get together! And hold this line!"

It was silent for a time, the calm before the storm.

"Finish them." Magneto ordered and with that the Brotherhood rushed at them.

Vanessa formed a psionic knife on each hand slicing through anyone that came near her. She charged a mutant who was using cat like claws to cut down her prey and using its own leg to jump into the air and kick it in the head sending it to the ground then landed on it stabbing her knife into her back. She ran at another sliding to her knees under a wave of energy and took out the energy man's legs with a swiped of her knives. Standing to her feet another charged her from behind. She ran forward and used her momentum to scale a wall and flip backwards landing behind the man and sliced the back of its neck all of the victims of her knives falling into coma like states, then turned to the next foe.

It was a completely green girl with slim dripping from her hands that burned when it hit the ground. The girl sent a stream of the acid from her hands at her and Vanessa instinctively threw up her hands. To her astonishment a blue shield formed in front of her stopping the flow.

"Well, that's new." Vanessa said with wide eyes then thrust her hand forward causing the girl to slam into a wall.

She looked up just in time to see Magneto lifting cars into the air and Pyro setting them on fire. She ran forward cutting down the enemy as she went and stood in front of them forcing the cars away from the soldiers as best she could.

"Vanessa." Logan yelled as he tackled her to the ground before she was hit by a spike. He pulled her over behind some wreckage with Storm and Hank. "You ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." Vanessa said before she threw up another shield protecting them from flaming debris.

"Since when could you do this?" Storm asked.

"Since now." Vanessa replied.

"You evolved." Storm breathed out as the continued to fight.

"What, like a Pokémon?" Vanessa asked as she threw a piece of wreckage back at the Brotherhood.

"Some mutants continue to evolve until they reach their full potential. Not everyone is born with all of their powers at once." Hank said as he batted away three men at once.

"Great, now I'm a Pokémon." Vanessa said with a roll of her eyes as they ducked down again. "We're getting overwhelmed here. What are we going to do?"

Logan looked from the remains of a cure gun and back to Hank then Storm and Vanessa.

"We work as a team." Logan said.

"Best defense is a good offence." Storm said.

"Bobby, think you can take out your old friend?" Logan asked turning to Bobby who was nearby. Bobby nodded and ran out freezing one of the cars gaining Pyro's attention. "Storm, we're gonna need some cover."

"Right." Storm said as he eyes turned pure white and she gazed up at the sky. Fog filled the air around them obscuring everything from view as Bobby and John fought.

"This is it." Logan said as Colossus grabbed him and Vanessa stood by ready to steady him. "Hey. Make it a strike."

"No problem." Vanessa said with a smile as she and Colossus sprang into action. Colossus spun him around then threw him with all of his might as Vanessa gave him an extra push making sure he was on target.

Magneto stretched out his hand forcing Logan to skid into the ground coming to a halt then flipped him over with a flick of his wrist.

"You never learn, do you?" Magneto sneered.

"Actually, I do." Logan said as Beast came up behind Magneto and stabbed him with the cure.

"I'm…" Magneto said in shock.

"One of them." Logan finished for him. Magneto struggled as he fell to the ground and turned to face Jean.

"This is what they want for all of us." He said looking into her eyes.

"It's over, Jean." Logan said. "It's over." It looked like she was about to give in when suddenly the Calvary came in weapons blazing. "No! Don't shoot! No!"

Utter destruction broke out as Jean rose in the air tearing everything apart with her mind. The building, cars, debris, and people all fell victim to her will.

"Jean no." Vanessa yelled as she tried to use her shields to protect the soldiers. She could feel Jean pressing on her and Vanessa pressed back feeling a wave of new power hit her, but it wasn't enough. She could feel a burst of pain in her head that sent her reeling to the ground landing hard on her back her energy spent.

"Everybody get out of there!" Hank yelled as he grabbed Vanessa pulling her up into his arms and chaos erupted around them.

"I'm sorry, she's just too strong." Vanessa said as she held onto Hank. She felt sick to her stomach, blood was dripping from her nose, and her head was pounding.

"I'm the only one who can stop her." Logan said then turned to Storm. "Get everyone to safety. Go." Storm took off into the air as Hank carried Vanessa away. "Jean!" Logan yelled. "Jean! I know you're still there!" Jean sent a wave of burning power at him ripping through his suit and skin that was barely managing to keep up.

"You would die for them?" Jean hissed.

"No, not for them. For you." Logan said and this seemed to surprise her. "For you."

"Save me." Jean cried brokenly.

"I love you." Logan sobbed before he stabbed her, killing her. He stood there holding her in his arms as everything fell around them.
