"5 to go." Avalanche said slowly "4.3.2.1.I'll give her 5 more." A hand slapped his cheek.
4 Multiples stood in front of him
"NO! Bring it down, now! Will you forget her last order?" They yelled in unison.
Slowly Avalanche brought the cave mouth down, shocked at Jamie's outburst. But only doing it because of Powersurge's single movement, a nod.
Everyone walked away; the BoH and X-men camped for the night, on the plain. The other mutants, who weren't telepaths, left.
Scott woke up the next day, to hear a steady chipping noise. He silently got up and went to investigate. He passed the Blackbird, on which the Professor and other telepaths were steadily whipping the world's memories of the event.
The noise was coming from the cave mouth. Standing in front of it, holding a knife, steadily carving, on a piece of flat rock, was a figure.
Scott moved next to them, the carving read 'HERE'
"What you doing, Jamie?"
"Carving an epitaph."
"Tell me what you want written, and I'll do it."
"Here lies Rac,
She gave her life, so we might live,
She gave all she could give,
Remember her at sunset and sunrise,
Remember her at noon and midnight,
Remember her with smiles or not at all,
Remember her smile could light the night.
She was a happy soul; though her life was unfair,
So put your tears in the torch light!"
Scott burnt the last 'T' in.
"I never knew you were a poet."
"I wasn't." Jamie turned, and walked away.
"Poor boy." Scott thought aloud, before following.
The BoH were standing before the professor.
"I want to join the X-men." Lance said, stepping forward.
"Why?"
"Because it's what Rac wanted."
Pietro jointed him, along with Wanda.
"We want to join the X-men."
"Why?"
"To correct the mistakes our father made."
"A hard task."
"But one Rac has prepared us for."
Tabitha stepped forward
"I wish to return to the X-men."
"Why?"
"I.Rac.My father's betrayal hurt me.Rac helped me recover.I owe it to her."
Simon stepped forward
"May I join?"
"We know nothing of you, nor you of us. Why should you wish to join?"
"I know all about you. All that I need to know, at least. Rac forgave me, when I tried to hurt her. I owe her this much."
Todd hopped forward
"Will you accept me, too?"
"You wish to join us?"
"Yeah, I'll give Rac the credit."
Freddy joined his teammates
"And me?"
"Yes, but why?"
"I'd be lonely, and Rac was kind."
"You can all join. We will be glad to have you."
Remy stepped forward,
"Will tu accept a thief?"
"Willingly. But why?"
"Remy have no where to go, 'cept back to the streets. Remy have nothing to do, 'cept steal. Maybe Reme can start a new life."
"Maybe. You can come!"
In all the surprises no one noticed Henry, she went to the cave entrance.
"Come on, Rac. You're not dead. I know it." Henry whispered touching the wall of stone. "I'll see you again. I'd know if you were dead."

2 figures, looking down, watched the outcome, one was female with pure emerald eyes, no pupil and no white, and the other was male, with the heavens in his eyes. The man was known as Fate, while the woman was only ever referred to as 'The Lady'.
"Checkmate." Fate said
"No, my Lord. That term is used in chess."
"Are we not playing chess, my Lady?"
"No, my Lord. You can never remember how the little horsie moves."
"True, my Lady. But the fact remains, I have won."
"No, you haven't."
"I have, you sacrificed your most important piece. You can not trick me, my Lady."
"I never sacrifice a piece, not even a pawn."
"Then how can you hope to win?"
"I don't, I play, only, not to lose."

This is Henry, one of the muses, speaking. We muses are NOT having a good time! Rae's gone insane! Hannah's broken down into tears, for no apparent reason, and run away! Sarah is gonna try to kill Hannah (unsuccessfully as we don't know where she's gone)! Hayley is gonna spend her half term killing EVIL sheep! And I'm going to abduct my ex-Spanish teacher (I've given up Spanish)!
