Chapter Thirty Five: Noah Beech

Noah felt like he was drowning. He tried to come up for air but he couldn't. He finally opened his eyes as his breathing returned to him a few moments later. He was in the alley, the alley where Ella had thought of the brilliant idea of time traveling. He was in his own timeline. He was back to normal. A deep darkness enveloped his heart as he realized that Ella had died in the process. Ella had killed Trent and Grace. But despite the bitterness he held against her for that he still glimpsed around hoping to see the girl's wild curly hair. He sighed sitting there, waiting for something. He had lost his sister twice now. First, he had lost his real sister when he had run from his own family…now he had lost Ella, who had become his little sister.

He hit the ground with his fist as he got up. 'Had they fixed the future?' he thought as he approached the end of the alley to the street and saw no MRD or Sentinels roaming the city. He didn't see mutant wanted posters or prison tower. The prison tower was gone. The dystopian times were no more. He stood there in awe and smiled. Everyone had done it, Ella's sacrifice meant something. Trent and Grace's sacrifices meant something. The X-Men had done it.

"Hi, Noah." A familiar voice said from behind him. His heart skipped a beat as he turned around. There stood Sarah Goldman. She had grown taller and now had a pixie cut hairstyle. She looked more confident and strong. She waved shyly to him. They hugged each other. She had grown older and he remained the same. Every one of his friends that he had made in the past had grown older. He was still his 17 year old self. "It's been three years. Three long but very productive years. Where is Vince? We need to get going." She paused, noticing that Noah was still soaking it all in.

"How did you know to find me here at this time on this date?" Noah asked, strangely aware that this was more than a coincidence. Sarah put her hand on the back of her head.

"Well, that is a little complicated. A boy showed up after we looked for you and said we were supposed to. So, naturally I was sent. The others are busy with missions and recruiting. Vince is supposed to show up sometime." Sarah said her voice fading.

"Who was the boy?" Noah replied. Sarah shrugged her shoulders.

"Some say he was Ella's brother, Wesley but that was impossible since her brother died a long time ago. I don't know what to believe but all I know was that he vanished into thin air." Sarah said. "Let's take you back to the mansion. Here's Vince." She pointed at the black jeep pulling up to the curb. Vince was now completely brown colored from his mud transformation but he was a good looking guy now since he cut his shaggy hair. Noah waved hello as he stepped into the vehicle. He looked so different from his past self.

"Hey, Noah! How are you?" He said cheerfully as he started to drive off.

"Okay, we will first start with the mansion. The mansion has been transformed into an actual academy for mutants and is now open to the public. Bayville is a super popular mutant haven now because of the Academy. We have legitimate classes now." Noah lifted an eyebrow. The classes that he had at Xavier's were unstructured and usually filled with tired kids who had either completed a mission, a DR session, or just gotten out of Bayville High.

"It is home alright. We have all types of mutant classes and training. New professors too but I think you will know them." Vince commented as the jeep drove up the twisted driveway. They arrived before the gates and Noah gasped. Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters was now simply named The Mutant Academy. The mansion was a lot bigger than what it was before and there was a huge garden with many colorful flowers and what looked like an outdoor obstacle course.

"The garden is dedicated to Grace. There are special classes for disabled mutants with sight, hearing, and speech problems dedicated to Trent. Finally, there is a small rehabilitation center for The Institution mutants dedicated to all the mutants who had died under Bamback's care. However, there are several major changes which are the staff and Magneto. Vince, do the honors." Sarah chimed looking at Vince, waiting for something spectacular to happen.

"Marina now is the head of the Danger Room along with Logan. No one…saw that coming. Ha ha, and Zane is the head of the tech. He teaches Technology in the Field. Sakura teaches yoga and relaxation techniques. They are the associate professors. Others switch in and out due to jobs they have in Bayville. Levi and Rainier are champs of boxing and wrestling. Reagan became a model. She is the celebrity of us all. Shiloh volunteers at the animal shelter after her classes. Laura works in nursing. Lyra is a sought after muralist. Hope is an advocate for mutant integration; she is the assistant of Dr. Hank McCoy who became the head of the Mutant Integration two years ago. The others are students here." He said all in one breathe. Noah blinked.

"You'll catch up soon but you should be aware of the 'social' situations before you even step foot into the academy. Well, let's start with the obvious ones. Eric and Camlin are lovey dovey now. Rogue has warmed up to everyone but still has some reservations about trusting others. The Brotherhood was dissolved. The less obvious ones are that Richard and Hope are dating, how this came to be…I am not so sure. All of the enemies are be rehabilitated on Genosha, the paradise that Magneto had built. Vanessa was released about three months after the attack and now Danielle has quit SHIELD and now came to stay at the academy." Sarah chimed. He looked at both of them wide eyed and noticed that they were standing fairly close to each other. He eyed them but asked nothing. It was so much to take in and there were unbelievable and remarkable changes from the future that he knew of.

They opened up the new French doors to 'The Mutant Academy' and his mouth dropped open in shock. It was surreal how much the place looked so different. The lobby area had a beautiful fountain in the center and there was an official place for Mutant student registration for classes. He saw someone he didn't recognize working the desk. He saw that Professor Xavier had labeled office next to it. There were signs everywhere, directing students where to go to their designated classrooms. There were a few students in the lobby straggling to class, whispering about the 'new kid.' Noah chuckled. Only if they knew.

Sarah and Vince on either side of him pointing out all the improvements as he started to smile, he was finally home. He gazed up at the high-vaulted ceilings and nodded in approval. He heard a loud pop from behind him that made him jump. He turned around and saw the old gang gathered behind him with party poppers and a water and electric show produced by Sakura and Eric. He laughed. Professor Xavier looked happier. He had achieved what he set out to do.

"Welcome back, Noah!" Everyone yelled as music blasted from several stereos that Allie had floating about.

"Let's get this party started!" Allie squealed as she started to dance. Lyra was sitting in a corner painting the events. She smiled as her skin changed bright yellow. Noah danced as they celebrated. It was one of the greatest moments in his life. Everything had ended up better than he expected. Deep inside, he couldn't wait for classes to start because he had three years of classes to catch up on and meeting all of the new recruits. Catching up with all of his old friends…

Noah went outside to catch a breather from the party. He saw a few students chatting outside. He changed to his invisible self and wandered around. He felt so much more comfortable in his mutant form. He gazed out at the landscape. He caught a glimpse of something. Two older adults that stood with two children at the edge of the garden. He couldn't catch a glimpse of their faces. He approached stealthily, trying not to let them notice. He was invisible. It was a family, he could clearly tell. He stopped as they spoke, trying not to cause too much commotion.

"Mom, when can we go? We have been waiting forever." The oldest girl whined. Their mother looked down at them.

"It isn't time yet, Olivia. You aren't old enough just yet." She said in a soft, calming tone.

"Fine, but I can't wait any longer. It better be soon. I can't wait until I'm there! I can't wait to learn about my mutant powers!" She sighed shaking her chestnut curls about. Olivia's sister nodded. Their mother patted them each on their heads. Their father knelt down in front of them gazing at each of them in the eyes and embraced each of them.

"Mama and papa, it'll be soon, right?" The younger girl said, gazing up at her parents with her green eyes, her long black hair waving in a gentle breeze.

"You'll be a student there before you know it, Hope." Her father said, smiling at his family. "Now, let's go home." Noah smiled at the family as they walked away. There was a future here. There was hope here.

He could finally relax and he didn't have to be on the run anymore. That was the greatest feeling in the world.
