Story Chapter 14- Awakening

Four months after Bryan went into a coma.

                The impossible just kept on reoccurring. He shouldn't be awake, he should be dead, and the world should be gone, two times over. Yet here he sat, in this hospital bed, awake, and not feeling that insanity, but still remembering it, every last second. He shook his head, remembering the events in his head, everything seemed hazy in his head, and he got up.

                Bryan was surprised to find that he was perfectly fine; in fact he was stronger than before (at least the last time he was sane.) He looked over next to the bed, it had his black clothes, and he knew someone had been planning his awakening.

                He looked at the calendar, four months had passed sense that day, and when he turned on the TV it to find that it was still talking about the event. It was also coincidentally the fifth year anniversary of the death of his parents. Wonderful, I've come to on the perfect day. Bryan thought sarcastically.

                Something hit him at this moment; a certain spot in his stomach felt him. He felt a place, where great pain was, memories, feelings, and power. He got dressed, and snuck out of a window. He went to where the place he felt. Suddenly images hit him, damages sustained, the school had been turned into rubble, and nothing remained. This wasn't the place he awoke to however; the school had apparently been rebuilt.

                He noticed a large gathering of individuals, at the football field. Some kind of ceremony of something? Bryan thought to himself. He looked to see that a couple of individuals were right outside, and he recognized them. Kurt and Kitty. He walked deliberately around them, making sure neither of them could see him. It hit him it must have been graduation day, but that meant absolutely nothing to him.

                He found the place, where his brother's powers lay, where their thoughts still lingered, and he could still see the images in his head. He bowed down on one knee, and closed his eyes.

                He didn't know how long it was before she came, he guessed it must of only been an hour tops. He could see the tears in her eyes, and he wasn't even looking directly at her.

                "Bryan…" She choked out.

                "Samantha, what are you doing here?" Bryan said.

                "The X-Men, they called me. They said that the hospital appeared shocked that you were gone, but it's graduation tonight, and all of the older people were out there, or they said. But I knew you would be here, something just told me." Samantha said, now unable to control her crying.

                She ran to him and he just held her, trying to be strong. "Samantha, I've missed you. I don't know what to say." Bryan said now looking at her, and she had only grown even more beautiful.

                She just smiled at him. "Seeing you standing is more than enough." She said.

                Bryan gave her his usual smile, "Unfortunately that makes me feel more like a drone, how have the last months of school been?" Bryan asked her, trying to grasp what it was to be human, again.

                She laughed. "I've been doing very good. I have a boyfriend!" She said with such happiness, and Bryan's heart sank. She now looked down at the ground, realizing that maybe that wasn't the first thing she should have said. "It was pretty much a rebound pick up. I was feeling sad, and he was there to comfort me, and I really do like him." She told him.

                He just smiled down to her. "Well, I've been out of it for a while, I don't know why I suspected that a beautiful girl like you," he said touching her smooth face. "Would still be single after all that time." He said now looking at the sky.

                "Bryan…" He turned back to her, and their eyes met. "Even with how much I like my new boyfriend, it still doesn't come close to the way I feel about you. I truly…love you." She said into his eyes, and he kissed her on the cheek.

                "I love you, as well." Bryan said.

                Samantha started giggling. "You should have seen everyone's reaction when they found out who you were." She was still smiling, although it had turned into something more. "It was painful, wasn't it? I could hear the screams… they sounded so…inhuman." Samantha looked down at the ground.

                Bryan gave a long sigh. "The pain it was, well that's a thing of the past." Bryan said looking towards the Institute. "I think it's past time that I made my way back." Bryan commented.

                She nodded. "What are you planning on doing? I mean afterwards." Samantha asked sincerely.

                Bryan looked into her face. "I already planned this out. I haven't paid respects to my parents or Julie's grave yet (His sister.). Five years this day, and I have still yet to see them to peace. It's long overdue." Bryan said, not fighting back the tears in his eyes.

                "How long will you be gone?" Samantha said, and he could see she didn't want him gone long.

                But Bryan couldn't accommodate her hopes, however. "I don't intend to be back for at least a year." Bryan said.

                It appeared Samantha had gone past the whole trying to be strong about this, as well. "I don't want you to go. You know if your gone for that long, the next time we see each other will be, awkward, and we will never…" She said letting all of her tears go.

                Bryan nodded. "It's haunting me as well. But if I don't do this, I think I might snap again. And you know how close I was last time to killing you all, I go again, that's it." Bryan said, looking back towards the invisible power he sensed.

                "How are you going to get back to the Institute?" Samantha asked.

                Bryan thought, and then remembered. "I just remembered something. Take my hand?" Samantha did. They started floating into the sky and he saw the wondrous smile on her face, and it made him feel better.

                He dropped her off at her house. "Is this the last time we're going to see each other?" Samantha said dryly.

                Bryan looked at her. Then he nodded. "No use in lying to you now, and you would just figure it out like you have all my other secrets." She laughed, but it was a forced one. "This is most likely the last time we'll see each other with the way we feel about each other this moment, or more likely the last time we see each other with the intent on acting on these feelings." Bryan didn't add that this very well could have been the last time they could have seen each other for the rest of their lives, but from the look on her face, she knew it as well.

                "I promise I'll never forget about you, no matter what I do, I will never, ever, forget about you." She kissed him on the lips, and went running into her room.

                "Goodbye, Samantha." With those last words he took off, and went for the Institute. He decided to have some fun before he entered the room.

                He used a blast to break down the door, and then floated into the room. "I'm back for my vengeance!" He said in a tone that he still remembered how to use.

                "God, we are so dead!" Screamed the voice of Bobby Drake. And Bryan went after him first, and got use to his powers, which were much quicker then he thought they would be.

                He got Drake on the ground, and the boy was shooting ice as fast as he could, but Bryan had a shield, and then held out a light from his hand. "Ye shall burn and rot with thy brothers!" Bryan couldn't control himself anymore and broke down in laughter. Beast had now entered the room, but he was in too much shock to say anything.

                Bobby eventually understood what was going on though, and he broke out in laughter as well.

                Bryan eventually got reacquainted with everyone. "So, what do you plan on doing now?" Came Beasts inevitable question.

                Bryan just shrugged. "I plan on taking a vacation. But first, where is the food?" Bryan asked, the hunger just now hitting him.

                Beast laughed. "In the kitchen, as always." Bryan thanked him and went.

                Bryan in the past four months remembered everything, yet he couldn't remember eating, not once. So he hogged into the food, and barely heard Xavier entered. He had a wide smile when he saw Jean and Xavier mouth in awe when they entered the kitchen.

                "How have ya guys been doing?" Bryan asked.

                Xavier and Jean both shook their heads. "We've been doing fine, Bryan. How long have you been awake?" Xavier asked, obviously still shocked.

                "A few hours. I don't know why, but my clothes were right next to the bed, and the window was wide open, so I figured they got tired of looking at me, or something like that." Bryan said puzzled.

                "Well, I'm glad to know your doing well. Now excuse me." Jean said walking out of the room.

                "So, how was the graduation?" Bryan asked Xavier, and Xavier looked even more puzzled.

                Bryan had to laugh. "Man Xavier, I used to think I'd never confuse you! I stopped by the place where both of my brothers, well you know what happened. I saw they reconstructed the place rather quickly, I also saw Kurt and Kitty, although I made sure they didn't see me. I had a place, to be at." Bryan said looking at the ground once more.

                "I understand. You saw Samantha there, didn't you?" Xavier said, showing some compassion in his eyes.

                "Yeah, we pretty much went our own ways. She has a boyfriend, and it would feel too awkward, I mean, I threatened to kill the girl." Bryan forced back some tears. "As I'm sure you've already read while in my mind, I plan on taking a trip." Bryan said, starting to eat again.

                "I'll provide all the funding. So, at least a year, then?" Xavier asked.

                Bryan just nodded his head. "So, are Kurt, Kitty, and Rogue ever going to come home tonight? I'd kinda like to talk to them, maybe mess with their minds a little bit." Bryan said smiling.

                Xavier himself chuckled. "They will be back some time tonight, if you can manage to stay awake that long."

                Bryan gawked at the comment. "Xavier, I've been sleeping for four months, I think I can last one night." Xavier rolled out of the room, and it was time to deal with Scott.

                Scott entered the room, scratching the back of his head. "Hey man, I know things haven't exactly been, cool between us. But I'd just like to say, that I'm sorry for all the crap that I gave you." Scott now looked at the refrigerator, awaiting Bryan's response.

                Bryan gave a long hard look at the man. "Yeah, I'm sorry too. I should of looked at things from your point of view. It makes sense, I mean I'm their brother, I should have been out their fighting, but then again you never knew the entire story, did you? So yeah, I can definitely see things from that, and am sorry for acting so careless." Bryan got up and the two shook hands, and then Bryan went back to his eating.

                He ate for about an hour, and decided to watch some TV. He flipped in his old South Park dvd and sat down, waiting for them to return.

                Bryan thought for a while, on whether or not he should toy with them like he did with Bobby, and eventually he decided against it, as him being awake would probably freak them out enough as it was. Xavier was right, they were back extremely late, and he didn't hear them until about 3 am.

                "Like, there is no way I'm going to get to sleep tonight." He heard the voice of Kitty.

                "Ja, that vas fun!" Commented Kurt.

                "It wasn't that bad, but could have been better, if yah ask me." He heard Rogue comment, which translated to it was actually extremely fun for her.

                When he heard them get right next to the door, he couldn't resist and let go a blast. "Vhat the hell?" Said Kurt, and then he heard a bamf into the living room.

                "Bluey, been awhile, huh?" Bryan said smiling. Kurt's mouth dropped open in shock.

                "Vhat, I thought they said you vouldn't be up until…" Kurt said, still shocked.

                "Like, what's going on?" Kitty said walking into the house. "Oh my god, Bryan? Is that really you, where have you been like, at?" Kitty said shocked.

                He saw Rogue as well, and she just said hi, and left. Although he could see a smile on her face.

                "Like, what have you been up to?" Kitty asked.

                Bryan chuckled. "Well, I've been kinda around layin' lately." She gave him a mean glare. "Sorry Kitty, couldn't resist. Today I guess your talking about? Yeah, well I saw you two outside the graduation place, not sure what you guys were doing. I ran into Samantha, we pretty much just broke up things, and I'm going to be leaving tomorrow." Bryan said.

                "Vhat? You're going to be leaving? Vhy?" Kurt asked persistently.

                "I need to go to Europe, unfinished business. And besides, Xavier's funding it all, so I think I'm going to take a trip around the world that I planned on taking a few hours ago." Bryan said smiling.

                "Yeah, that's all like, good and stuff. But you just woke up, didn't you?" Kitty said.

                Bryan just shook his head. "Yeah, can we just talk about what you've been up to for the past few months? I haven't told anyone else, but one of the last things I did when I was in that cursed body was read your minds, so I know exactly what you guys were thinking four months ago, partly I want to go just because I really don't want to be around a group of individuals when I know what there thinking, that's part of it, alright?" Kitty looked shocked, as did Kurt.

                "Like, alright. Me and Lance broke up once, got back together, and now the jerk thinks that just because he's graduated he can get 'college' girls." Kitty spat out disgustingly. "Kelly got really nasty there at the end of the year. I like, really feel sorry for the rest of the kids who have to deal with him. Yeah, that's been about it." Kitty commented, and looked to Kurt.

                "Ja, me and Amanda are still going out. Although as of late ve've been having more arguments. Anyways, it vas pretty interesting in history, especially after everyone learned vho you vere, it took them a few days just to realize that they vere in the very same classroom as you." Kurt said laughing.

                Bryan just nodded. "Alright, well I just wanted to see you guys before I went to sleep. Alright, I'll make sure to say goodbye before I go." Bryan said walking off.

                "Like, you better!" Kitty said screaming after him.

                Bryan went to his room and laid down, nearly forgetting the pain factor. He laid his eyes down, and for the first time in years, didn't feel the pain, and he wore a smile on his face.

                The next day he awoke. He learned Xavier had got him a plane flight at 2pm, and it was already 11am. Bryan got up, ate some lunch, and then just took his time saying goodbye to everyone, thanking them for what they had done, and all the other emotional gibberish, which he hated. It was more of an awkward thing though, as most of the students still remember him threatening to kill them, and not as the person they sat on the couch with and went to school with.

 It was 12pm, he had said all of his goodbyes, while none were quite as difficult as saying bye to Samantha, they were still difficult in there own way. Bryan decided it was time to go. Kurt and Kitty drove him there, and surprisingly there was no real traffic, and it was a rather quiet ride.

                They eventually got there, and within an hour they called that his plane was boarding.

                "Vell, I guess this is it." Kurt said, with a sad look on his face.

                "For now, anyways. I'll be sure to write. I'll talk to you later, bluey!" Bryan said and they shook hands.

                "Like, I hope you find what you're looking for." Kitty said, trying to keep a grin on her face.

                Bryan smiled, and embraced her as she hugged him. "Thanks for everything, I'll be sure to write to you, as well." Bryan said in a sincere voice. Kitty let go and smiled.

                Bryan walked onto the plane, ready to finally face his past, for the first time in five years.

Come on, I can't let this have a complete happy ending, can I? Anyways, this is the last chapter in the story, and there will be an authors closing statements, as looking back I realize that I put in some things and never really answered them, so I'll hopefully answer those. Talk about the possibility of a sequel, and numerous other things that can amount from this. Anyways, thank you all for reviewing so far, because if you didn't, I seriously doubt I would have finished this. I still hope to get some more people to review, and maybe I will now that it's completed. Anyways, anyone wish WB would just have a friggen all day marathon of season 4? (or 3 and 4, with how there showing it.) Or they would just give all the new episodes to Cartoon Network? It's gonna be torture waiting for all of them in the states!   Also, one more question I guess I'd like to ask. Would you like to see a sequel made from this? Just yes or no, and state a reason for one way or the other, thank you for your time and reading this pointless rambling :)
