(same time)
Rogue made her way back to the platform where her fellow X-Men were fighting Mystique, Pyro and Toad.
"You again!" Mystique sneered at Wolverine as he tried to put his claws in her stomach.
"That's right, I'm back baby," he lungded at her, three claws ready for the kill, but Mystique jumped over him landing behind him and kicked his back sending him flying.
"I always had a crush on you Katherine," Pryo said throughing a fireball at her. She let it pass threw her.
*BAMF*
Pyro heard Kurt appear behind him.
"Leave her alone,"
Pyro turned to his apponiate. "What are you gonna do about it elf boy?" a fireball came towards Kurt.
*BAMF*
He was now next to Kitty.
"You two don't give up do you?" he threw two fireballs.
Kurt grabbed Kitty's hand.
*BAMF*
"Lovely to see you again," Toad said to Jean. He could no longer use his toung but he still had other powers. He was about to jump at her but Bobby was one step ahead. When Toad went to jump he couldn't. His feet were frozen to the ground.
Wolverine pushed himself off the ground after his arms healed. By now Storm was by his side. "Are you alright?"
"Fantastic,"
"Behind you!"
Wolverine turned in time to be kicked in the face by Mystique. When he fell his claws went up slicing Mystique's leg. She screamed in pain grabbing her bleeding wound.
"You're not gonna hurt me and I know it," Lyric said to Scott.
"I know its not really you Lyric,"
"And how do you know that? You've only known me a few weeks,"
"I know its not you because if it was you, you wouldn't be doing this,"
"Whatever," she opened her hands forming a large water ball. She pushed her hands and the ball swallowed Scott. It didn't take him long to realize he couldn't breathe. He didn't want to do this but he had to. He placed his finger on the viosre button. The beam shot threw the water hitting Lyric in the stomach. The split second when her concetration was lost the water broke. He took a big breath then when to get the chip out of Lyric's head.
"I'm gonna make sure you can't walk for a very long time," Wolverine said to Mystique. He took one claw and jammed it into her akelisy tendond. She screamed piercing their ears and slipped into shock. Her hands started shaking as she started shifting different forms. More forms than could be counted.
"She slipped into shock," Storm stated.
"How can we get her to stop?"
"I only know of one way,"
"What's that?"
She bent down to Mystique and punched her in the nose. Mystique stopped moving and passed out in the form of Raven Darkholm.
"She'll be out for a while,"
"He'll be out for a while," Bobby had covered Toad completly with ice.
"Not by my count," Pyro was getting fed up with Kurt and Kitty. He decided to go after bigger prey.
Kurt was getting tired too. Porting that much was draining his energy.
"Come on Kurt," Kitty was holding him up.
"I can't,"
Pyro knew this would happen. He threw a fire ball to melt Toad. It succsessfully hit his leg.
"Ah don't think so," Rogue took her glove off. She really hated using her power but this was the only way to save her friends. She flew over John picking him up.
"Let me go!" he struggled.
"Ah'm sorry John," she said quietly to herself. She placed her hand on his cheek. She felt his energy flow out of him
FLASH- John was fifteen years old and playing with matches.~
FLASH~ John was in class. History with Ororo. Oh what fun. As he shifted his weight he felt the lighter in his pocket. All right, time to impress the new girl. He put both hands behind the chair flicking the lighter over one hand forming a small fireball. Bobby saw this. He put his hand out and froze the fire. John felt the hear go away. The weight was too much. He dropped the ice and it shattered. Ororo turned around annoyed.
"John, what did I tell you?"
"Sorry," he mummbled.~
FLASH~ "Sarah, there's something I wanna ask you," John said to his girlfriend sitting next to him.
"What?"
Without saying a word he got down on bended knee pulling out a ring. "I love you...and..uh..will you marry me Sarah?"
"John, I, I can't,"
"Why?"
"Because I don't love you,"
"What?"
"I only went out with you to make Bobby jelous. But that kinda backfired 'cause he has Rogue now,"
"You have no feelings for me?"
"No, I don't,"~
This all happened within a few seconds but it felt like an eternity to John.
Rogue didn't want to kill him so she moved her hand and gently placed him on the ground. His eyes were wide and his mouth was slightly open, just like her other victims.
Wolverine and Storm came up to the five remaining.
"Is he alright?" Storm asked looking at Pyro.
"He'll be fine,"
****
Scott walked to Lyric's body. She didn't hit her head but the blow was hard.
"Lyric," before he could touch her body she got up.
"You son of a bitch!" she got up and threw water at him. HIs power was no use so he ran at her grabbing her by the waist and tackled her down. "Let me go!" she did her best to get out of his grasp, but the only thing that was doing was making her tired.
Scott grabbed her wrists together with one hand and with the other one he headed for the viso button. Before shooting the beams out he turned the little button clockwise. "Hold still."
"No!" she continued to fight.
He sighed and let her wrists go but reached up for her head and held it in place. With the other hand he pressed the button. The energy beams hit the green slime holding the chip in place and broke it. He brushed the fragments away and took the chip out.
Lyric froze. Everything she had said and done came rushing back.
"Scott?" she put her hand on his visor sitting up. She touched his lips and cheek. She threw her arms around him when the tear drops started to fall. "I'm so sorry." she buried her face in his shoulder. "I'm so sorry."
"I know," he stroked her hair and held her close.
"I..I didn't mean it. Those things I said...I didn't mean any of it. I love you so much,"
"I love you too," he pulled her away but she didn't look up. "Look at me Lyric." she looked up, tears freely flowing. He leaned in and kissed her. "Come on."
"No. I can't face them,"
"It'll be okay," she followed behind him as they joined the group.
"Is she back to normal?" Wolverine asked.
"Yeah," Scott said.
"I, I'm sorry," Lyric managed to choke out. "Where's Remy? I need to tell him I'm sorry for Jubilee."
"You don't need to," Rogue said happily.
"Why?"
"Ah saved her. Ah just didn't tell anyone in case they wanted her dead,"
"So she's okay?"
"Yeah, she's with Remy in the jet,"
Lyric felt a hugh weight lift from her shoulders. She wasn't reasponsible of killing a friend.
CRACK
All turned to where Toad's 'statue' should've been. Because of Pryo's fire, he managed to get free.
"Where is he?" Bobby asked.
"Up there," there was at least another thirty feet of rock to the island and Rogue could barely make him out. "Ah'll get him." she flew up gaining speed. She was about ten feet from the wall when she saw Toad clinging to it. "Too bad you can't use your toung." she went to ram into him, shoulder first but he was quicker than her and jumped out of the way. Rogue still hit the side. "Ow.." she didn't have enough time to rub it because a large rock started to fall. "Shit." she flew up to catch it and did but was losing her grip. She then felt something on her back. It was Toad. He was balancing himself on her shoulder.
"I've still got my legs," with his left leg he put all his pressure on her shoulder, dislocating it. She let go of the rock grabbing her shoulder. She started to fall as did the rock.
Bobby placed his hands on the ground forming an ice tower sending him in the air to catch Rogue. "Are you okay?"
"Its mah shoulder," he brought her back down.
They saw Jean with her hands up. "I...can't hold...it..up much...longer," they got the hind and ran out of the way. Jean too.
"No you don't," Toad sneered at Lyric. Befor she could react, Toad covered her in green slime.
"No!" Scott wasn't going to lose Lyric again. He went back pushing her out of the way. Toad painstakenly whiped out his toung grabbing Scott's ankel pulling him to the ground. Scott landed on his back. Toad let go when the rock fell on Scott's leg.
"Bobby, put me down," Rogue said.
"Why?"
"Ah need to help Scott,"
"But your shoulder,"
"Ah have John's power," she floated out of Bobby's grasp. With the gloveless hand she formed a fireball. Toad didn't see it coming until he felt the warmth on his back and passed out.
Rogue landed next to Jean who was with Scott.
"Scott...can you hear me?"
"Get...Lyric..."
"The only thing that can get through that stuff is your power and I can't lift the rock,"
"Rogue..." he called
"No," Rogue knew what he wanted her to do. "Ah'm not touching you. It mahght kill you."
"I don't care. I don't want her to die,"
"Scott-"
"Please..."
"Fine...but Ah'm only gonna touch you for a second..."
"Do it,"
Rogue bit her lip as she reached her hand out. Her fingers gently grazed his forhead.
FLASH~ "Alex stop following me!" eight year old Scott said to his six year old brother Alex.
"But Scott, I wanna play too,"
"No!"
FLASH~ "Selena I'm sorry-" Scott tried to talk to his girlfriend Selena.
"Leave me alone Summers!" she ran into the girls bathroom. He sighed walking into the men's bedroom and was hit with smoke.
"Great," he mumbled. He walked into a stall. Thats when it happend. He felt a sharp pain in his eyes.
FLASH~ "I..I didn't know if you wanted," Scott said to Lyric.
"I do, because I'm..I'm in love with you Scott,"~
Rogue pulled away. She had the power, but didn't need the visor to control it. She flew to Lyric aiming for her stomach with the low beams. The slime shattered. Lyric took a deep breath and coughed.
"Scott?"
"No, he's over there," Rogue pointed to the rock three feet away with her good arm.
"No," Lyric got up with her legs feeling like jello and habboled over to Scott's body. "Can't you move it?" she asked Jean.
"Its too heavy,"
"Is he awake at least?"
"Yeah, barely," Jean got up to help Rogue with her shoulder.
"Wait, does he have his power?"
"No,"
"Scott, Scott its Lyric," she removed his visor and gripped his hand.
"Lyric?"
"Yeah, now can you open your eyes? Please, please?"
He squeezed her hand and with all his strength opened his eyes.
"Scott.."
"What?" he looked up at her with bright, sparkling blue eyes.
"Your eyes. They're blue, just like you said,"
"Like your hair,"
"No. Much prettier,"
"I, I don't think I'm gonna make it,"
"Don't talk like that! Scott, you can't leave me. I've never cared about anyone as much as I care about you. If we could just get this rock off..." a tear slipped down her cheek asnd landed on Scott's.
"Don't cry...its just my time to go..."
"No, Scott-"
"Lyric, you're the best thing that's ever hapened to me..." what he was saying made her cry more.
"You made me so glad that I became...a...became...a mutant..." something snapped in her brain. "Everyone sheild yourselves."
"Why?"
"I can help him. Now get hehind something,"
Bobby formed an ice shield over him, Rogue (who now had her scarf as a sling), Jean, Storm and Wolverine.
"Kurt, can you make it to the jet?" Kitty asked him.
"Yes,"
"Go and tell Remy to fly the jet over here,"
"Kitty-" she kissed him.
"Go,"
*BAMF*
Kitty phased threw the ice where she'd be safe.
"What are you doing?" Scott asked Lyric.
"Trust me,"
Lyric thought of Sierra drowning, Jubilee falling and Scott being crushed. The pressure bulit up but it didn't hurt. She realeased it to the rock and it shattered.
Lyric thought hard and relized she turned into water, luckaly when a piece of rock went threw her leg. After the rock pieces settled she went back to her true form.
"Oh God," she saw Scott's bloody, mangled leg. Jean came to her side.
"We need to get him to the mansion," when the words left her mouth they heard the jet coming. It landed on the platform. The door opened and the group started to head in. Lyric and Jean stayed behind with Scott. "Hold his head." Jean telekenticaly lifted Scot's body. Lyric kept his head balanced as they into the jet. Jean placed his body on the only cot in the jet. "Remy, get out of the pilot sear and let Ororo fly. Kurt, Kitty get some rags or something to help stop the bleeding." they did as ordered.
Lyric was kneeling next to the bed, gently dabbing Scott's head with water.
*BAMF*
Kurt appeared next to Jean with towels and rags. Kitty came behind Kurt.
"Kitty, help me," Jean start to wrap Scott's leg. Kitty didn't know what to do. "just apply pressure." she did. Scott squeezed Lyric's hand again.
"Shh..its okay," she dabbed his head again. Her voice was calm and sothing to him.
Lyric looked at Scott's blue eyes. They were darting back and forth, looking at his surroundings but mostly at her.
"Why are you lookin' at me?" she smiled.
"Enjoying the moment," she kiseed his forehead, then looked into his eyes. She couldn't get over them. They were like tow glass orbs staring back at her. I never saw blue like that before, across teh sky, around the world. You've given me all you have and more. And no one else has ever shown me how to see the world the way I see it now. Oh I, I never saw blue like that, before. "That's a pretty song."
"Huh?"
"The song in your head,"
"I guess I still have my telepathy,"
He closed his eyes gritting his teeth.
"Don't close your eyes," she begged.
He kind of laughed and coughed at the same time. When his eyes opened they were no long cobalt-ice blue but dark crinsom red. "N-no."
"What?"
"Your eyes...close them,"
He nodded closing his eyes. "Good while it lasted."
"Yeah," she dabbed his head once more then looked at Jean and Kitty who were changing rags for a second time. "Are we almost there?"
"We're about to land," Storm said.
Lyric felt the jet land. "We're here."
"I know,"
The door opened. Scott start to float away, Jean beside him. She moved him quickly down the metal hallway with the Professor behind her.
Lyric made her way to the door. She was about to follow but was stopped by Storm.
"He'll be fine,"
"But-"
"Get some rest... you all need it," the seven ex-prisoners started to slink off into the carpeted hallway. All were exgasted and were showing it.
Kurt was walking on all fours and his tail was dragging on the floor. Kitty was leveating and Rogue was using her new-found power to fly while being careful with her shoulder. Jean had popped it back in her place, but she wouldn't have a proper sling untill the next day. Remy was carrying Jubilee. Lyric's feet were water and she was floating. Bobby felt stupid walking.
They reached the rooms going into the rooms was a chore. Not for Kitty though. With her head hung down she phased threw the door leveating to her hed laying down, not even changing. Lyric wasn't paying attention when she reached the door, because she bumped into it. She grabbed the door knob opening it and walked in. She also went to her bed not changing. Rogue flew in and gently kicked the door shut, but it still cracked. The other two didn't notice. She went to her bed and lowered herself to it.
Kurt was the first to reach their door.
*BAMF*
Bobby waved his hand through the small cloud of smoke that was left behind, then opened the door and forced himself to stay awake. As he walked by Kurt's bed to his own he saw Kurt curled up like a cat with his tail near his face, sound asleep. Bobby continued his jouney and flopped on his bed stomach side down.
Remy walked in, holding Jubilee. He placed her in his bed and got in next to her.
"Goodnight Remy,"
"Goodnight," he put his arms around her waist, resting his hands on her stomach and fell asleep.

Dun worry there's more to come. I have one lil disclaimer for right here. The song used (I never saw blue like that) is sung by Shawn Colvin. PS-please Review
Rogue made her way back to the platform where her fellow X-Men were fighting Mystique, Pyro and Toad.
"You again!" Mystique sneered at Wolverine as he tried to put his claws in her stomach.
"That's right, I'm back baby," he lungded at her, three claws ready for the kill, but Mystique jumped over him landing behind him and kicked his back sending him flying.
"I always had a crush on you Katherine," Pryo said throughing a fireball at her. She let it pass threw her.
*BAMF*

"I know its not you because if it was you, you wouldn't be doing this,"
"Whatever," she opened her hands forming a large water ball. She pushed her hands and the ball swallowed Scott. It didn't take him long to realize he couldn't breathe. He didn't want to do this but he had to. He placed his finger on the viosre button. The beam shot threw the water hitting Lyric in the stomach. The split second when her concetration was lost the water broke. He took a big breath then when to get the chip out of Lyric's head.
"I'm gonna make sure you can't walk for a very long time," Wolverine said to Mystique. He took one claw and jammed it into her akelisy tendond. She screamed piercing their ears and slipped into shock. Her hands started shaking as she started shifting different forms. More forms than could be counted.
"She slipped into shock," Storm stated.
"How can we get her to stop?"
"I only know of one way,"

"Yeah," she dabbed his head once more then looked at Jean and Kitty who were changing rags for a second time. "Are we almost there?"
"We're about to land," Storm said.
Lyric felt the jet land. "We're here."
"I know,"
The door opened. Scott start to float away, Jean beside him. She moved him quickly down the metal hallway with the Professor behind her.
Lyric made her way to the door. She was about to follow but was stopped by Storm.
"He'll be fine,"
"But-"
"Get some rest... you all need it," the seven ex-prisoners started to slink off into the carpeted hallway. All were exgasted and were showing it.
Kurt was walking on all fours and his tail was dragging on the floor. Kitty was leveating and Rogue was using her new-found power to fly while being careful with her shoulder. Jean had popped it back in her place, but she wouldn't have a proper sling untill the next day. Remy was carrying Jubilee. Lyric's feet were water and she was floating. Bobby felt stupid walking.
They reached the rooms going into the rooms was a chore. Not for Kitty though. With her head hung down she phased threw the door leveating to her hed laying down, not even changing. Lyric wasn't paying attention when she reached the door, because she bumped into it. She grabbed the door knob opening it and walked in. She also went to her bed not changing. Rogue flew in and gently kicked the door shut, but it still cracked. The other two didn't notice. She went to her bed and lowered herself to it.
Kurt was the first to reach their door.
*BAMF*
Bobby waved his hand through the small cloud of smoke that was left behind, then opened the door and forced himself to stay awake. As he walked by Kurt's bed to his own he saw Kurt curled up like a cat with his tail near his face, sound asleep. Bobby continued his jouney and flopped on his bed stomach side down.
Remy walked in, holding Jubilee. He placed her in his bed and got in next to her.
"Goodnight Remy,"
"Goodnight," he put his arms around her waist, resting his hands on her stomach and fell asleep.
