PERMISSION TO ARCHIVE: Mmmhmmm
CATEGORY: General
RATINGS/WARNINGS: PG-13 for lots of language, references to drinking.
SUMMARY: The Xavier Institute, post-Ascension, gets an infusion of new blood as
Aurora and Northstar join the X-Men. A plot against Quicksilver and the Scarlet
Witch is revealed. Drama, adventure, romance, angst and laughter ensue. Sometimes all at once.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Northstar, Aurora, or any of the mutants herein. Nor
do I own any of the humans. Or the places. Or the songs. Or really, much of anything
at all.
NOTES: For those of you not familiar with my tastes, I am a massive Northstar
fan. Been reading lots of Evo fic
lately, been watching the show for quite a long time… figured I'd have a go at
throwing them all together. If anyone wants to know which bits were inspired by
actual cannon, email me. I can give ya issue numbers.
I'm being derivative here, and I'm not pretending otherwise ;) This story takes
place in the summer after the events of Ascension I and II. About
a month later. Thanks to Sue Penkivech, who is
slogging through the rough, rough draft I gave her, like a true trooper. Where
would I be without you?
A few assumptions I'm making here, at the start of this fic, that I think y'all should be aware of:
1- Mystique has crawled off to lick her wounds, after being summarily rejected by Rogue and Kurt.
2- Magneto is having issues with his team-- Colossus tried to kill him and we all know Remy's about to defect. So he told his kids to wait, and he'll come for them. And...
3- Wanda, while by no means starting to trust the X-Men, does not hate them like she did before, after all that's happened.
4- Xavier is fine, back to normal, as well as Storm. The ending of the episode pretty much showed that.
5- Jean is planning on leaving and going to college in a few months.
6- Scott... oh who are we kidding, he's not going anywhere.
7- Tabby is still around, but she's not with either group.
8- Jeanne-Marie is slightly less psychotic than in the comics, particularly considering her status as "Weapon X Punching Bag" atm in 616.
9- Jean-Paul is slightly less bitter, since he hasn't been through all the AF bullshit, and I'm painting him as simply a star athlete with a dodgy childhood.
10- Alex stayed at the institute, and has joined up with the New Mutants. 'Cause I like Havok.
11- Iceman is a regular standard issue X-Man now, along with Shadowcat, Jean, Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Rogue, and the grown-up types. It's pretty clear that they're replacing Spyke with him.
12- The Beaubier twins have a low-level psi link. It's in cannon. After JM was taken by Hedlock.
13- Kitty has been in constant contact with the Brotherhood since the big event, considering her little reconciliation with Lance at the scene of the crime. She and Lance are sorta kinda back together.
And now that we got that out of the way…
