Oh my god! I can't believe you guys didn't tell me my writing was so corny!
I've decided that writing something on the spot then posting it will not do
anymore. I'm so sorry that I haven't been able to update. I went to the
National Drill Team competitions and the practices took a lot of time. I'll
be gone a lot this summer, but that should just give me time to write more
chapters. Once again, thank you for sticking with me and enjoy.

Jean told the Professor about the 'situation' with the Brotherhood. (who didn't see that coming?)
"So that's the story Professor," Jean finished.
"Hmm. I see. Thank you for telling me about this Jean, the Brotherhood may be up to no good. I believe you have a training session in a few minutes?"
Jean nodded, "Yes. I think Logan is going to have the newer students against the older ones."
"I see. Well you don't want to be late, considering the consequences that Logan would give."
"Right. I'll see you later Professor," called Jean as she went to her room to change.
As the door closed, Xavier's thoughts quickly changed. He couldn't believe that his own students would betray him like this! The Brotherhood! He couldn't believe that his students would be so foolish… Nevermind that for now. Must get back to work…. Magneto….Sinister….what are you planning..?
```
Logan, Hank, Daniel, Storm, and Jamie sat up in the Danger Room control center. Daniel was not going to participate in the session today, and Jamie was still 'too young'.
"How come I can't go?" he asked.
"We've told you Jamie, you're too little to be doing these kind of sessions right now." Logan growled.
"You should feel lucky you don't have to do this kid!" called Ray.
"Pipe down and pay attention! It's capture the flag, first team to have the others flag back at their base wins. No porting Elf, no flying Tabitha, and no TK Jean. Let's keep the offensive power to a minimum." He said, casting a glance at Ray as he said the last line.
"Do you really think that they are ready for this Logan?" asked Storm.
"To be honest 'Ro, it wasn't my idea. Chuck's been pushing them hard lately. I think trouble might be brewing. I just hope he realizes that they have limits."
"Unlike some people would believe," she said giving him a look.
"What? I'm not giving the losing team extra sessions this time!"
"I'm sure they thank God for it."
The session began. The arena was like a garden maze. Metal walls and traps along the outside, and steeper walls and drops near the middle. In the center was a large, stadium-like clearing. It was the older mutants and Kellie against the new recruits. Kellie tried to go invisible, but Rahne kept track of her in her wolf form. Tabitha and Jean were in a flying match, while Sunspot was trying to follow Kurt's rapid jumps. Kitty was phasing through walls as Sam was crashing through them. Scott, Ray, Evan, Amara, Bobby, and Rogue were dueling out in the center. Xavier came in about 2 minutes into the start of it and took control over the traps and activated some other ones that should be in use.
"Chuck what are you doing, those don't go with this session."
"Quiet Logan! I am in control right now, they will just have to improvise."
After 10 grueling minutes, it was all over. Some covered in paint ball marks, others not so lucky. They came out of the Danger Room to face a very ticked Xavier.
"What on EARTH were you all thinking?"
"Logan said that those traps wouldn't be used in this session," Scott began.
"I DON'T CARE! YOU ALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO COMPLETE THAT MISSION! IT WAS INCREDIBLY EASY"
"Easy Chuck! That was probably the hardest simulation you've given them."
"That is no excuse! Tomorrow you will ALL come home immediately after school," kitty made a move to protest, "AND if I hear about anymore romantics with that….that….BROTHERHOOD! You will all be confined to the mansion for the rest of the school year!"
Xavier, with his eyes glaring and veins popping slightly on his forehead, looked very funny. Daniel couldn't help it, he gave a whistle going high to low, "Psycho."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!"
Daniel clutched his head in pain. It was unbelievable. It was like the pain in his chest, but inside his head. It seemed, familiar somehow, like a strange case of déjà vu. He screamed in pain. Unconsciously a bolt of energy sparked from him to Xavier, knocking him from his chair. Xavier picked himself back onto his chair. Daniel was sitting down, breathing heavily.
"Conduit, I am so…"
"I have a REAL name you know!" Daniel gasped.
Xavier's features softened, "Forgive me, I lost my temper. I will be in my study. No one disturb me." He wheeled away.
Kurt picked Daniel up, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah. I'll be fine. I'm gonna go up to my room. I'll see you guys later."
Tabitha and Kellie went with him,
Jean did a quick mental check to make sure he really was fine. Her thoughts accidentally overlapped onto Kellie and Tabitha as well because she was worried about the Professor. **I can't believe that the Professor would just lose it like that.**
``
Meanwhile, Xavier was in his room, frantically trying to erase the memory from everyone's mind. As Jean did her mental check, it blocked his quick erase and left their minds untouched. He successfully erased everyone else's mind and was grateful that he had been able to do it.
**I can't have them doubting me. Not when Sinister and Magneto are so close.**
````
"I guess now isn't the best time to ask if I could go home." Said Daniel.
"What?! What are you talking about?" asked Kellie.
"I was gonna ask him if we could go home for the long weekend coming up. But now I don't think he'd agree."
"Yeah, or maybe he's sorry and he'll do it to try to make it up to you." Said Tabitha.
"I dunno, maybe, but I just hope he doesn't do that again. That really hurt."
Daniel picked at the uniform he was in, "Ugh I don't see why we have to wear these stupid things. Not like it would be hard to recognize us in if we were out in public."
"Not that he would ever let us use our powers in public anyway." Said Kellie.
"Maybe he just wears them cause he checks out the girls." Said Daniel
"Or boys." Said Kellie
They looked at each other, "Eeeeeeew!" then started laughing up the stairs.
"Oh, by the way. I want you to teach me that sword trick you do." Said Daniel.
"Why?"
"Because it's cool. Then maybe Logan will give us a Star Wars session to do."
Tabitha sighed, "You two are psycho."
"Then that makes three at the mansion." Said Daniel, grinning.
"ARGH! Go away! I'm going to take off the pervert's uniform and we'll see you later."
"Bye guys."

Inside the mutant concentration camp, a mutant known as Farseeker was forced to work. Her job was to stretch her mind and find other 'dangerous' mutants that would be brought in and 'cured'. She had to bring at least one mutant in every once in a while, or they would begin to get suspicious. She hated her job. She tried to send out dreams of warning to some, but so far few even showed that they had received her warning. She had to warn them before the MRL (Mutant Registration Law) passed. She laughed at herself, **Of course it would pass. The only people who are anti-mutant are the few that go to the rallies and those radical politicians!!** But unfortunately, they were the ones with the power. She must get help. She saw that there were several groups of mutants, but the strongest two were at war with each other. **Hmmm. This one called Xavier will be the death of us all if he is not stopped.** She had to agree with Magneto on some parts. Many humans will not understand and think that we will never be accepted. But that's how it was during the Civil Rights Movement. Magneto just needs to put his personal vendetta aside and realize that most humans are good. However, the ones that are bad are fanatics to the point that it's crazy. And those were the ones with the power…

Daniel sighed with frustration as his saber winked out of existence just before he grabbed it.
"C'mon you can get this. Alright, first bring out some energy you can use," instructed Kellie.
Daniel brought his hands, palm facing inwards about a foot apart. A blue orb formed.
"Aren't they usually silver?" she asked.
"Depends on the intensity I put in. If I screw up again, I don't wanna kill somebody."
"Ah. Anyway. Feel the energy shaping into the blade. Don't get all fancy with it. Try for like a rod or something."
Daniel closed his eyes. The orb went into an oval shape, points facing up. It extended 2 feet into the air.
"Good! Now grab it and finish the shaping. Then it will be easier to keep the energy in place."
Daniel grasped with his hand, and the rod shot like a wet bar of soap into the air. "Shit!" he raised his hand, trying to stop it. The rod exploded with a dull thwump.
Kellie laughed, "Energy explosions go thwump? HAHAHAHAHA!"
"Shut up!" he tried to stay angry, but he started laughing too. "At least it didn't go boink like scientific progress!" (Calvin & Hobbes. The coolest cartoon ever.)
He flopped on his back, clutching his ribs, "Ow! No more jokes!" his eyes were a sun-yellow.
Kellie stopped laughing after a bit, "Whew! Ok, you have to remember to keep the energy focused. It's not a beam like you're used to."
Daniel tried again and succeeded in making a blue rod about the size of a yardstick. It made a light humming noise as it extended, "What!? No sound effects?"
Kellie's own saber came out, "Imagine them. Let's see if they'll hit."
They brought the blades together, and they clashed with a sound that was surprisingly like the ones in Star Wars.
"Cooooooooool." Said Kellie.
Daniel slowly brought his up in an arc and Kellie blocked it. They clashed again.
"Let's see how much damage this can do." Daniel said.
He swung at a rock in the ground, and was surprised that it almost bounced off, leaving a scorched line in the smooth stone. "Hmmm. Maybe if I up the intensity."
The blade went from blue to silver and he tried again. This time it cut the rock neatly in half, and leaving the sand below it a pile of semi-heated glass.
"Can you turn the intensity up and down with yours Kellie?"
"I think so. We could try later. It's getting late."
They had been there for a few hours or so, and the sun was beginning to set. Kurt popped into view, "Storm says zhat dinner is ready. C'mon you don't vant to be late do you? It's Jubilee and Storm's turn to cook."
"Cool. At least it's not Kitty." Said Daniel, making a face of the last time she had tried to make a casserole.
"Food time!" said Kellie.
They headed back inside. Everyone seemed a little glad that Xavier didn't join them for dinner again tonight. He was still in his study, trying to figure out what to do about Magneto. He smiled to himself. He knew just who he could bring in to boost his power. He picked up the phone.
"Hello? This is Professor Charles Xavier. Yes, I'm still coming in tomorrow. I was just calling to say that Wanda may be ready to come back out. Yes I know her father committed her, but I believe that I should be given care of her. He hasn't ever come to see her. Wanda trusts me. Very well, we'll sort this out tomorrow. Good night." **And if she doesn't trust me, well than I'll just have to show her the light.** Xavier thought to himself with a grin.
```
Outside on the grounds, Psylocke smiled. She tapped her communicator. "Xavier's screwing up. With luck, they'll be ready to join us after they see what he plans to do. Tell Wormhole I'm ready to go."
"Right. Magneto will be pleased. We'll see you in a bit."
She turned off her communicator. She rubbed the diamond shaped implant on her forehead that Sinister said would boost her power. She didn't trust him though, and she wasn't sure about Magneto either. She was having strange memory blanks as of late, and they were very suspicious. She sighed, **If only Xavier weren't such a nut, then I could join the X-men. They seem nice enough. Except for that boy…** she rubbed a small burn scar on her arm. **Oh well. To the moment at hand.**
A green portal opened up and she stepped through, leaving the place quiet yet again.
```
Oh by the way. I just now learned that Psylocke's blade only works she hit's somebody's mind. Well, in my fic it's like a regular energy blade. Just wanted to clear that up in case some of you were calling me an idiot. Thanks for reading. I should have some more chapters in about a month or so. Thanks for sticking with the story, and hopefully my insane little cousins will give me some inspiration.
