Now that we are all caught up, Time to get back the shot that was fired out of the 8th floor window of the apartment building located on the corner of Elm & Mulberry and all the events that are to take place afterwords.


" I truly believe with a bit of hard work and acceptance on all of our behalves that both Mutants & Humans alike can live in a peaceful coexistence with one another."

Charles Xavier paused for a moment for he was finding it rather difficult to get through the rest of his speech. He stared out into his audience into the faces of those who opposed him chanting negative slurs while marching around with their hate filled signs, for no other reason then the fact that he was slightly different then they were and deep down that scared them which was the real reason they were out protesting like they are.

Xavier knew he had to choose his words carefully for this crowd was already on the edge and the slightest slip up on his part would surely incite a full scale riot and that was one of the last thing the good Professor wanted to happen on this day.

He was about to carry on with his speech when he heard the sound of a gun going off in the distance. Xavier couldn't help but think this was it for him and he sat there in a daze as old memories of the pass flashed through his mind. He thought he was prepaid for this moment however now that it was here he could do nothing but sit there like a damn fool.

The good Professor could see the tiny golden bullet coming his way, any minute now would be his last breath and all he could do was sit there looking out over the crowd in disappointment for never having achieved his life's goal which was bringing about a peaceful world for all to live in no matter their differences.

Shifting his eyes slightly he could see his future Grandson Cable running up the stairs towards him and he sensed Beast behind him rushing the stage. Everything moved in very slow motion for Charles Xavier as the tiny metal bullet arrived at its destination, he closed his eyes expecting allot of pain only he felt nothing so he opened his eyes back up to see what was happening and to his surprise the bullet was spinning in front of his face in midair just inches from his forehead.

Suddenly a large station wagon came flying seemly from out of no where landing in the middle of the crowd causing most of the people to flee in terror as maniacal laughter rang.


It also almost crushed a young mother and her child had it not been for the team of Rogue and Jean Grey. Rogue held up the car using her brute strength allowing Jean to use her Telekinesis to hover both child & mother out of harm's way, then Rogue let it drop to the ground and both women set out to find who or what was behind the sudden appearance of the flying wagon.

It didn't take them very long to find that source for he came charging right at them his blubber bouncing every which way as it slammed into Jean Grey knocking her out cold and he would of hit Rogue as well had she not took flight raising into the atmosphere above the one known simply as The Blob.

Blob was not alone right behind him hopped out Toad and when he wasn't laughing, he had his slimy tongue whipping around hitting the screaming civilians who were all trying to find an exit. He even stopped to spit his fowl smelling glue like spit into the face of one of the protesters carrying a: WE HATE MUTANTS! sign causing the man to struggle to breathe.

Toad even want as far as to snatch up this man's sign and rammed it so hard over his skull that the guy's head want clear through the sign taking out the word HATE and giving the dude an WE MUTANTS! Necklace.

" Yo, You hate Mutants, Well we hate you Mate... Enjoy your sign now, Dipshit."

Toad boasted and began his laughter again as he hopped on over to his buddy Blob landing up on his shoulder grinning as he stared down at the out of it Jean Grey and high-fiveing Blob for taking one of them out this soon.

Toad then stuck out his long tongue warping it around an unsuspecting Rogue's flying leg and swung her about sending her soaring through the air right into the stage where Xavier was still sitting in his chair with the bullet spinning right before his eyes.

" Ha Ha, Two Cream Puffs down... Huh, 1,2,3,4,5... Ah, What comes after 5... Oh wait I remember now 6... 6 more X-Geeks to take down before we can go eat!"retorted Fred Dukes who was using his fingers to count with a confused look on his face as the Toad sat on his shoulder shaking his head in disappointment for having to deal with such a moron but at least he was a strong moron, so that had to count for something.

What Toad should of been worrying about was the mutants behind him and maybe he would not have such a cold bottom right now for Iceman blasted the Toad with an array of ice sickles all aimed at his rear end making Toad hop around like a fool up on Blob's Shoulder, he was jumping around so much so that he fall off and ended up face-planting into the ground in front of him.

Jubilee came up behind Bobby laughing hard at the Toad.

" Ha Ha you should stay down there Toad, It like totally suits your slimy ass... Nice one Iceman."

She gives Bobby a high-five with her non-bandaged arm, suddenly a bright red light came zooming across the area hitting the Blob in his big belly knocking him down as Scott Summers came running over to help out his teammates but mostly he done it to keep Fred Dukes away from the knocked out Jean Grey.

Emma Frost was walking slowly behind him but once she seen Cyclops kneel down to collect Jean into the safety of his arms she made a U-Turn and headed for the stage instead to be with the Professor because she just could not stomach seeing them together anymore especially not now that they were to be married, One of Emma's worst nightmares by the way.


Back up on the stage Xavier sat very still as the bullet spun before his eyes, He was a bit afraid to touch it and wasn't quite sure what to do in this situation. He could feel Beast coming up behind him and could see both Cable and Emma coming up from the crowd to his aid.

" Sir, Please try to remain as still as possible, We don't want to accidentally set off the bullet... I don't understand why the sudden disturbance in the projected course."commented Hank McCoy as he stepped up behind him.

Charles Xavier looked up into the sky above trying to spy who he knew was behind this and finally spotting the man he was searching for and that very man was floating in his direction on a large piece of metal along with his two twin children.

" Ah Magnus, It's about time you showed yourself... Wanda, Pietro nice to see you both again. Although I do wish it was on more pleasant terms then theses."

Magneto lowered all three of them in front of Xavier and as soon as he did Quicksilver ran off the stage to go smack around the Blob & Toad for disobeying orders by attacking the X-Men in the crowd when they they were only supposed to scare the humans sending them into a panic.

Which left only the Scarlet Witch to stand at their father's side.

"Was I that obvious Charles? I suppose you will be wanting me to get rid of this pesky bullet already but you know I could just as easily release my hold on it and save myself allot of future headaches."

Cable rushed to his Grandfather ready to punch Magneto in his face for saying that.

"You will do no such a thing Asshole or I will end you were you stand... Now take that fucking bullet away from his head!"

Cable pulled his large futuristic gun out pointed it in Magneto's face to show that was not messing around here.

" You let that bullet go and I will let this trigger go and you won't be able to stop this one... No metal whatsoever... So, make your choice you Metal Loving Bastard!"

Cable cocked his gun back and pressed his finger on the trigger awaiting Magneto's decision.

Emma Frost seen this and decided to switch to her Diamond form at these newest turn of events before saying:

" Maybe we can all take a moment to calm down here before someone really does get hurt or bloody well ends up dead." She did not want to get blasted by any bullets that were about to be fired.

Wanda Maximoff's hands started to glow red as she stood there listening to Nathan Summers threaten her old man. Wanda was ready to unleash some of her Haxing powers on him until Magneto spoke up stopping her in her tracks:

" Don't waste your energy my darling daughter for I never had any intentions of actually killing Charles Xavier, Not today or any other day for that matter... I was just having a little fun with my old pal."

Erik Lehnsherr waved one of his hands and the tiny bullet was sent into the nearest solid object which happened to be a support beam holding up the stage. They all heard the exploding sounds it made as it hit the beam, Cable having no real reason to keep his gun aimed at Magneto took it out of his face but didn't not put it away because he trusted this man about as much as he trusted that the world was still flattened.

" Just out of curiosity Mr. Lehnsherr how did you know that our dear Charles was in danger to begin with? Surely you don't expect us to believe you just happened upon him when the gun want off... This has clearly been a thought out plan of action on your part." said Emma Frost who was still in her Diamond form standing on the stairs near the edge of the stage.

" Yes I suppose I can not expect you to believe such a thing Miss. Frost... Believe it or not I am here as a favor to none other then the lovely Veronica Xavier... She phoned me this morning explaining the entire situation involving our dear Professor Xavier..."

Magneto got cut off by Beast saying: " Surely you are jousting us Magneto, It is hard to believe that Veronica Xavier would do anything in order to save her father... She has made it perfectly clear that she carries hostility among many other things towards him."

" Be that as it may Dr. McCoy, I assure you I speak nothing but the honest truth in the matter... It seems we have many things we must discuss in regards to today's escapades... There seems to have been deceptions on both our accounts, I shall explain more in a more private sitting... So if you will accompany me back to my home on Genosha or if you prefer we can head to the Mansion... Ether place is fine by me as long as we are no longer out in the public."

Magneto keep his sights trained on Cable as he spoke for he did not trust him not to go ahead and pull that trigger, Eric could see it in Nathan's eyes he really did want to end his life for some unknown reason and Magneto had a gut feeling that it had absolutely nothing at all to do with his grandfather.

" Yes I agree Magnus, We have much to discuss, However the institute is closer I think we should all go there."

Xavier smiled at his old friend as Magneto simply nodded in agreement.

Each party both X-Men and Brotherhood want to their respective modes of transportation and set off towards the X-Mansion where they would all hold a truths for the time being, as they tried to make sense of all that has aspire so far on this day.
