Hi everybody. I'm BAAAAACK!
Title: Origins of X squared
Rating: PG-13 (for language and shit like that)
Disclaimer: The characters are mine, (some of them) but the X-men, and the original X-men aren't. Why would I buy my own friggin' comic books?
Canterbury, Kent, England
"Hey Thomas, its me again. Please I know your there," her hand was shaking as she clutched the phone tightly to her ear, "Come on Tom, don't do this, it's Drew you know I'm worried about you please pick up the bloody telephone! Okay whatever, just please call me so I know your okay, hon." Drew Elliot hung up the phone in the darkened apartment. The only light came through the shut shades near her bed. The dusty one room studio wasn't anything fancy but it kept her hidden. It kept her away from their eyes. The sirens began again, signaling the Sentinel release. As long as she stayed away from the window it would be fine. Soon she'd be on her way to America with Thomas Grey. Her long time boyfriend and they would be safe. She sat on her small cot and held her knees to her chest. She closed her eyes and bit her lip. In a few seconds, Drew Elliot was gone. No she wasn't a teleporter, Drew still sat in the same room. She was merely invisible. Her eyes pressed shut Drew could feel the energy draining from her body the 18-year-old knew she only had so long to stay this way, before she began flashing in and out like a bad TV reception. She gulped, her mouth dry. Thomas hadn't called her in a little while. Not since he told her who his parents were. It should have been obvious. Every mutant knew the stories. He was the son of two unmarried X-men. Of Wolverine and Marvel Girl. Logan god only knows and Jean Grey. He explained that that ment he had connections, his mom still worked with Xavier and could get them both into that safe haven, she just had to wait for his call.
But this was a dark time for mutants. Magneto was gone, Xavier seemed almost mythological, and most other mutant groups had been destroyed since president Bush's unfortunate re-election in 2004. He had turned on the mutants and began to kill them off. Encouraging other world leaders to do the same, unfortunately when the idiot Texan talks others listen. That's why most mutants are liberals.
"Oh god, please no," she could hear footsteps stampeding down the hall outside and her power begin to wear off. It felt like her whole body had gone to sleep then, she began to see the room in color again. (When your invisible you see in Black and white.) "Shit!" she said quietly as her worst fears were relized. Some one was knocking. She got up of the bed, knowing that only parts of her, where she felt the tingling, were visible, At the moment only her eyes, left hand, and right calf. "C- coming," she managed to sputter.
"No, Drew its me," said the deep voice that she would recognize anywhere.
"Tom?" she asked looking though the mail slot at the bottom of the door, "Oh thank god come in!" she opened the door wide and now both hands and her nose were clearly visible.
"The sentials are gone, you can come out." He joked.
"It's not as easy as it sounds," she said, "what's the update?"
"Well," he started sadly running a hand through his dark brown hair, "pack your bags we're going to New York!" he grinned.
