RV: Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I was out of town for a soccer
tournament. One of my teammates sprained her ankle in the second game.
Another had an asthma attack and I got heat stroke twice in one day. But
enough about me. I love all you reviewers! Fanfiction isn't giving me all
my reviews. It says I've got 101 but all I've been able to read is 96 so if
I leave you out its cause I didn't get your review.
Ash: I know Logan needs to be more of a softie and Scott needs more likeable. I'm trying to put those into future chapters. However the only problem I have is that I think of Logan as the overprotective dad. It'll take me a while to get past that so bear with me. I'll try my best to write those characteristics in. I'm going to write another story and. ah gotta stop now or I'll give something away. That would be bad. Glad you like my story and are impressed by it.
Jack-o: Can I cry with you? *eyes water* I'm kinda sad it's going to end soon but not. Once it's done then I can add another story that'll hopefully be just as good as or better than this one.
Osso: To answer your question. Destiny was born with the ability to heal her self as well as others and start/control her own fires. The others powers were a result from a drug she was given.
Cassie2003: I'm glad you decided you'd read it after you found out that it is written in first person. I'm even gladder you like the story.
Shorty8: Yay! Family's gone! More computer time! Woo hoo! I'm gonna tape Evolution cause I never get up in time to watch it.

I nod. "It must have been temporary," I say just before Kitty starts hugging me again. "Kitty, let go."
"Sorry. Where's Liam?"
"I don't know where exactly but he's here. Logan went to go find him." I look at Jean. "I don't know if he's hurt or not."
The red haired woman nods understanding. "Come on Shadowcat. You're gonna help me search for Liam and Wolverine." Jean and Kitty run across the room and disappear down a hall.
I look around the large room. Rogue and Bobby are up against Mystique. The blue woman easily kicks Rogue in the stomach sending her into a wall. Bobby is able to get Mystique into a brief head lock before she twists out of his grasp and knocks him into the wall next to his girlfriend. Rogue quickly yanks off her gloves then rushes the woman.
I start to sprint to the trio but trip over a steel pipe. Try as I might I can't prevent the vision from coming.
**** Scott's optic blast hits Magneto square in the chest. The older mutant retaliates. With a wave of his hand, he sends scrapes of metal and pipes at Scott's and Ororo's direction. They easily deflect the metal with their powers. A deflected pipe flies through the air and embeds itself into a girl's stomach. A male voice cries out her name as she sinks to the floor. Minutes later the brown and white haired girl dies. ****
I feel tears roll down my cheeks. She's not going to die. I won't allow it. Now I'm even more determined to take Magneto and his followers. I resume making my way across the room.
"Destiny!"
I whip around to look at the voice's owner. It belongs to a man in his thirties with light brown hair and wearing a navy blue suit. I glare at him. "Who are you and what do want? I'm kinda busy at the moment."
"My name's Dr. Alexander James. I came to return your memories to you," he answers quickly. He looks scared of me as he reaches out to touch my head.
I pull back. "Do it when I'm done here. In the meantime you can help the professor."
He stares at me confused. Rolling my eyes, I turn away from him and run towards Rogue and Bobby. I see Scott shoot Magneto with his laser eyes. Metal objects around me begin to float into the air. No! No! I chant over and over in my head as I try to pick up speed. The pipe is already flying towards the untouchable girl.
"Rogue, look out!" Bobby cries launching himself at her.
I leap and shove her out of the way. She lands in Bobby's arms as the pipe goes through my left thigh. A cry of pain is torn from my throat as I land hard on the floor with my arm trapped beneath me. Everyone could here the stomach-turning crack of my arm breaking. I lay perfectly still.

Logan searched the hallways. He opened every door and peeked inside. He had found nothing of the boy. Not a glimpse, not a scent, nothing. With a growl, he turned down a hallway while calling the boy's name. "Liam!"
* * *
"Liam!"
Liam sat up quickly. He strained his ears to the sound. It came again. "Dude, either you're hallucinating or that is actually the Wolverine's voice." The voice came again followed by two female voices. Liam scrambled to his feet and dashed to the door. He kicked and pounded on it. "Wolverine! Kitty! Dr. Grey! I'm in here!"
* * *
"Logan, there you are. Kitty and I've been looking all over for you," Jean said as she and Kitty ran up to him. "Have you found Liam yet?"
"No. These damn halls look all the same."
"We'll split up. Kitty, you go that way. I'll go this way-"
"Ssshhh!" Logan shushed the doctor. "You hear that?"
The trio listened and soon could hear banging and yelling. Logan was the first to stride down the hall. He stopped at the door and unleashed his claws with a distinct *SHINK*. He slashed a hole into the door and stepped through. With a glance into the far corner, he saw the light brown haired kid standing against the wall. The boy was breathing hard while clutching his chest. "You okay?"
Liam nods. "Yeah, just peachy aside from the close encounter with your claws to my head." He paused taking a deep breath to steady his nerves. The older man walked over and sliced the cuffs off. "Thanks."
"No problem," Logan replied. "Are you injured?"
"Other than a few nasty bruises, no."
"Good. I want you to look after Destiny." With that said, he walked passed Kitty out of the cell. Liam and Kitty followed. He stopped in front of Jean. "Jean, could you contact my daughter and let her know Liam's fine and safe?"
The woman smiled at Logan's softer side showing and nodded. ~Destiny, we've found Liam. He's fine. ~ Jean frowned. Something was wrong. ~Destiny, are you okay? ~ There was no answer. Try as she might she couldn't help but glance at Logan. "Something is wrong. She's not responding."
Logan took one look at Liam and the two turned and sprinted down the hall. Kitty looked at Jean confused before she followed. A single tear slid down the doctor's cheek as she ran to catch up with the others.

Magneto watched as one of his deflected "weapons" speared itself into the girl's leg. He had to admit she was brave but at a stupid cost. The X-Men's attentions were now focused on the girl. It was the perfect time to escape. He motioned Mystique to follow him and leave Toad where he lay unconscious. 'Let Charles take care of him,' he thought to himself as he snuck out the door. 'He was a terrible fighter in the first place and smelled bad anyways.'
He looked around for Sabretooth. Instead he found the elf boy crouched near his unconscious associate. He shook his head in disappointment, 'Good help is so hard to find now days.' He and Mystique crawled into their helicopter and flew off into the night.

RV: Magneto escaped. Destiny's injured.
D: Well at least it isn't raining. *thunder booms over head and it begins to pour* Oops!
RV *dances around room*: Yay! Rain! Woo hoo!
K *gives Diomedes a confused look*: Did I miss something here? *3 of the 4 evil voices watch as RogueVampyr continues to dance around the room singing "I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts" in an English accent*
E *in snotty scientist accent*: When it rains, she sleeps better and writes faster.
N *nods head*: This is a good thing. Everybody had better review to keep RogueVampyr in this good mood she's in.
