I am SUPER happy. Want to know why? (I will now pretend that you do want to
know). Well, first of all, I saw X-Men 2 and my friends and I had the best
places (top top row in the middle under the projector thingy) because we
arrived something like an hour earlier. Well. Now . . . Shawn Ashmore is
HOT!!! He is sooo adorable! (sorry, sorry, couldn't help myself). For all
of you who have also seen the movie, don't you find the ending is a bit
annoying? It's written in invisible black ink that Jean's not dead. DUH.
For those who want to know, my theory is that Jean is not dead and that she
will re-appear in X-Men 3 (yes, X-Men 3, you read correctly) and you will
all get why her alias is going to be Phoenix. You know, the Phoenix rebirth
thingy. (all together now: ahhhhh) You have to approve, it's pretty amazing
to hear that from someone who doesn't read the comics or has never seen the
cartoon in her life, hun? I'm a bit cheating now, because I know that
because I read it in a 'Jean Grey Biography' thing off the internet, but
who cares! (The real version is that she is under water in the bay of New
York when they all think she's dead, and she stays there while 'an alien'
takes her place as Dark Phoenix. Then Scott, after trying to forget Jean,
marries a woman that looks like Jean and they have a kid named . . .
Nathan. Well, that's when Jean shows up again, this time as Phoenix, saves
the world or something like that, and goes back with Scott who abandons his
wife and kid. Ain't that just . . . ???? Well, that's the real story. And
Nathan Cage, MY character IS NOT Scott's abandoned son, if that was what
you were thinking)
The real reason of my being so happy is that . . . X2 just simply appears to be a prefect prequel to 'Unfinished Business'! Everything is going to work perfectly!!! And so, 'Unfinished Business' will be my version of X-Men 3. I'm so excited!
Now for the rest of the news: Didn't all of you just LOVE Mystique in X2? She was so cool! And Deathstrike too! (I loved her eyes). Nightcrawler was very cool too, 'cause I love the blue trail he leaves when he teleports. I bet we're all going to see multiple Ororo/Kurt stories coming up soon. Pyro was fun but he's not part of my favourites. I loved Jason's power and I'm trying to decide if I'm going to let him live in my 'Unfinished Business'. Of course, Bobby and Rogue were just great, but they should have fought more with the rest of the X-Men. . .
I find it evil-funny the part where Magneto's in the jet with the X-Men and Mystique and he laugh and say to Rogue "We love what you've done to your hair". That's just . . . mueheheh. (Rogue should have smacked him)
Special-new-section-for-thank-yous-for-the-reviewers:
Tigereyes: I hoped you liked the movie! And . . . yeah. My school is directed by nuns (not that I'm complaining or anything, but still . . .)
Chloe: Thank you for encouraging me!!!
Blaze: Welcome to the team Blaze! And I'm sorry for the spelling thing.
Cristi: Well Scott 'mysteriously' found his visor by pure luck . . . I guess
Ice Phoenix: I'm happy you like him (Hooligan).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hooligan dived to the centre of the group, just before jumping upwards to arrive behind Magneto.
"As I said before, you'd do better to let him go," he said to Logan.
In answer, the Wolverine unsheathed his claws without thinking, his hands soon becoming crimson red because of his blood pouring from his knuckles. Scott tried his visor, but it didn't work. Folded in two because of the pain, Logan growl.
"Oh, I'm going to get you, you little bastard, and when I do, you'll wish you were-"
"Magneto's a criminal, we can't let him go," Jean said, interrupting Logan before he finished his sentence. "He's going back to his plastic prison."
"No he's not," Hooligan said.
The X-Men stated arguing with the boy. They weren't even fighting.
Nathan sighed, looking at the boy in an odd way. He cracked his knuckles, and, seconds later, he had created a weapon with his mind, and the boy's jacket was pinned to the wall behind by a dagger.
"Thinking that what I'm going is real doesn't affect my being a mutant," he growled, walking to the boy who still didn't understand why he had been able to use his mutation. "Seems that you've met your match," Nathan sneered, leaning on the wall to which the boy was pinned.
The X-Men just stared, all very surprised, and Magneto didn't seem happy at all.
"Not quite," the boy mumbled, just before using his feet to do a backward flip on the wall, pushing himself against it to stop himself hitting the ground head first, and he landed a few feet away. He looked quite surprised to see that the dagger in the wall had disappeared. Something had told Nathan that he was going to be able to free himself, and so he was ready to give his adversary a good blow. It consisted of a first kick in the stomach, two punches in the ribs to make him back off and tripping him off. He landed on the ground with a thump, and looked pretty flabbergasted.
It's at that moment that Mystique appeared in the picture. By the time the X-Men had realized that she was there, Scott was on the floor. Pyro was desperately trying to get air into his lungs because of the hit he had just received, and Bobby was lying on his back, a look of pain on his face. Rogue rushed to his side to see if he was all right while Kitty and Jubilee tried to do something about Mystique. Jean and Ororo couldn't use their powers to control Magneto because of Hooligan, but strangely, he could very well use his. He used his power to hit Logan across the path, into the wall. He fell to the floor with a very large thud, brining down pieces of wood from the wall with him.
Nathan, seeing that everything was going wrong, knew exactly what he had to do. He picked up a rock from the ground, turned to Hooligan and before the boy could do anything to stop him, he bashed him on the head, rendering him unconscious. The X-Men could now use their powers.
At some point during the fight, Magneto began to flee while Mystique was occupied with the others. The boy, Hooligan, had regained a part of his awareness and was trying to control everyone's mutation again. Seeing that his help wasn't greatly needed, her began to follow Magneto. With his heightened senses, it was relatively easy, and controlling him wasn't tuff because he wasn't wearing anything made out of metal, and he could easily doge the projectiles Magneto was throwing at him. They had somehow arrived on the top of a storehouse and Nathan had thought about using his daggers, but they would make Magneto think they were out of metal, and he could possibly use them against Nate. Of course, Nathan wasn't use of that, but he didn't want to take a chance at knowing. After what seemed to be ten minutes of fighting, Nathan got caught off guard by a metal pole that hit him right in the stomach, sending him flying through the air. He had arrived so close to the ledge that when he landed, he tripped over and fell to the ground below, on his back. Nathan didn't more for a long time, forced to stay immobile because of the intense pain he was feeling in his upper back. It was only when he saw Magneto getting away that he tried to get up, again very slowly because of the pain. He caught up with Magneto a few moments later and they started fighting again.
Soon, the other X-Men arrived, just when Nathan was pinning Magneto to the ground.
"You don't know what you're doing, Wolf," Magneto whispered to Nathan. "You aren't who you think you are . . . They aren't your family. Yours is not what you think it is."
Nathan turned to the X-Men still at the other end of the alley, running towards them.
"I'm not talking about them," Magneto said. "I'm talking about what you believe in."
Confused, Nathan didn't have the time to ask what he meant as the X-Men arrived and took Magneto.
While they were all surrounding him, Nathan stayed away, just listening to what they were all asking him and trying to ignore the still growing pain in his back.
"Who's the psychic, Magneto?" Jean asked, controlling him with her power.
Visibly, they had controlled Hooligan to be able to use their powers again.
"What psychic?" Magneto asked, visibly not understanding.
"The one that passed the school shields!" Scott blurted out.
Magneto smiled evilly.
"Ah, so there is another psychic, and visibly not on your side," he said. "I'm truly sorry to say that I don't know him yet."
There was a moment of intense silence as the X-Men looked at each other maybe slightly frightened or shocked.
"So . . . you have no idea who this person could be?" Jubilee asked.
"There aren't many psychics on this planet, and even less that are strong enough to penetrate the school without Xavier knowing about it, and so my guess is that you are in trouble if he's not on your side," Magneto said calmly. "And plus, I usually know about mutants like this one, and I don't."
"Well, it doesn't change the fact that you are going back to your prison," Ororo said.
And to that, they all started walking back to the jet, Jean being extra careful not to let Magneto use his power.
Nathan stayed behind a little bit, looking at the warehouses' roofs. Above one of them, he could have sworn he had seen that boy, Hooligan, spying on them. Mystique was probably long far-gone, and he was probably going to rejoin her. At least Magneto was going back to prison.
But what meant what he had said? Something about his family, being not what he thought it was. Shaking his head, e walked back to the jet. The psychic's message, what Magneto had said . . . it was getting much too confusing.
He entered the jet, walked to his place, eyeing Kitty on the way. The jet took off while he was thinking about everything again.
There was a quick stop at the plastic prison where they sent Magneto again, and then they returned to the school.
The jet parked under the basketball court, he changed into his pyjamas again, and walked back to him room, where he fell asleep, trying to forget everything that had just happened . . .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day, Nathan woke up with no hurry. He stayed in bed a long while, just staring at the ceiling, thinking about how complicated his life could be. Seeing that it was nearly eleven, Nathan got up, happy that Jean had let him sleep. All the X-Men were probably still sleeping.
He got up and walked to his bathroom. Turing on the light but walked back out. Grumbling because of his aching back that was truly killing him with the pain since last night.
Walking back inside, he turned on his computer. Back from the mission, he hadn't wanted to go sleep in the dormitory with the other boys. He wanted to be alone, and what he liked was that in this room, he had a bathroom just for him and he didn't need to use the boys' bathroom.
He walked back inside the bathroom, walking to the cupboard where he found bandages. The fight he had been in at the docks hadn't helped his bullet wound at all. Plus, Jean needed to keep checking his vitals three times a week to be sure everything was all right.
Nathan carefully took off his old bandage, happy to see that his wound wasn't bleeding. He walked to the shower and turned the tap on before getting rid of the rest of his clothes.
After his shower, he dried himself and placed a new bandage on his wound. Walking back into his room, he found clean clothes he quickly put on. After that, he walked back into the bathroom to comb his still humid hair and to brush his teeth. He took out his toothbrush and started cleaning his teeth when, for the first time in the morning, he looked into the mirror. He stopped dead, a frown appearing on his face.
His eyes were green again.
Growling, he finished brushing his teeth and ran out of the room, forgetting to turn off the light. He went directly to Jean's office.
He opened the door, ignoring the little kid sitting on the med table.
"JEAN!" he shouted, more mad after himself than anything else. "WHY, o WHY does this mutation have to be so complicated?"
Jean turned from the kid she was checking on, visibly very surprised.
"Wait . . . I don't even want to know why! I just . . . wanted to tell you that I'm going to take a big break from all of this. All of this mutant thing. I'm leaving for . . . I don't even know how long. I'm telling you this because you seem to be the one that understands people more. I'm going to stay maybe two or three days, but after that I have to go . . . I don't know if I'm coming back, but I just have to go."
And with that he was out, still mumbling things.
There was a moment of silence, before Jean realized what was happening. She sighed and jogged out of the room, cursing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nathan ran out of the med lab and entered the elevator before Jean had reached him. He reached the first floor and started walking towards the door leading to the grounds. He immediately realized that the students had probably been given a day off because many were outside. He walked to the basketball court but passed it, simply waving at his friends. There was someone he needed to talk to.
Walking towards the line of trees not too far away, he immediately located a yellow spot jumping around. That meant that Jubilee was near, and so Kitty was also there. He finally reached Jubilee and noticed that Rogue was also there. All three were talking about a movie or something like that.
"Excuse me, but could I talk to Kitty for a moment?" he asked, looking at Kitty with a smile.
Jubilee and Rogue exchanged glances and smiled sheepishly as they walked away, giggling as they turned around a couple of times, a wide grin on their faces.
"Your eyes . . ." Kitty said, before he could talk. "They're back to green!"
"I guess they're going to keep changing colour," Nathan said. "So, how are you doing?"
Kitty smiled widely.
"Well," she answered. "And you?"
"Hum . . . not too good, unfortunately," he said, making her frown wonderingly. "The problem is . . . you know . . . the way you feel when you just get out of the best ride at the attraction park?"
Kitty stared blankly, but seemed to understand a little.
"You know . . . it's when you feel so extremely thrilled and happy, but so dizzy you can barely stand on your two feet and you just can't do anything properly for the next few minutes?" Nathan continued, carefully choosing his words. "That's how I've felt since I've first seen you walking through that kitchen wall . . . You blow my mind away . . . and I was wondering . . . if you would like to go on a date with me tonight."
There was a moment of silence and Kitty just stared at Nathan who was staring at the ground since the beginning of his speech. Tears of joy started to form in her eyes as she jumped to Nate's neck. He passed his arms around her waist contentedly pulling her closer in an embrace.
"I love you, Kitty," he whispered into her ear.
"I love you too, Nathan," she whispered back, unable to hold back her tears of joy.
He pulled her back, looked into her eyes, leaned down and kissed her.
