Disclaimer: None of these characters are mine, except for Aurora, Rian,
Granite and Serpentine, and the weapons I gave to Orion, plus her name. But
the character itself remains Marvel's. Plot is mine though.
Throughout story: " " = Speech ' ' = Thoughts ^ ^ = Telepath
Yes LoneEagle, Pyro did have to die. ): But he had it coming. It's a common thing in stories, the one who did something wrong once always dies. I actually learnt that in a history lesson about old stories. o.O Oh my God! I was paying attention to him! Lol.
It's kind of a punishment for their deeds, for their doubt and stuff. I'm sure you know what I mean.
And yup, Logan isn't a cold hearted freak XD He has guilt and he feels love!
Chapter 55
A beautiful day. The sky was a clear blue and unscarred by clouds. The sun radiated over frosty grounds slowly demolishing the sparkling decorations. The rays pummelled heavily, making the people of the school feel that bit more happier..
After the horrendous activities of Magneto the school was finally falling back into it's old routine. As lessons took place some of the X-Men gathered in the staff room. Scott and Kurt were absent from the gathering, taking part in their lessons. It was a Friday afternoon, so there were only revision lessons for the elder students.
Charles was positioned beside the long red leather sofa in which Storm and Aurora were sat on, each enjoying a hot drink in the lazy afternoon. Logan had blatantly refused the join the 'wussy' congregation and intended to stay locked (in his opinion) safely in his room until Aurora frog-marched him down by hefty prods of her crutches. And now, most unpleased he sat by the window in his own chair, frowning out the window. He spoke to them.. once in a while.
General conversation passed, it rose and fell away before continuing and then dying away to a new topic.
Aurora had her right leg up resting on a bun shaped pouffe. Bandages cradled the ankle to form a pot and it left five bare toes wiggling out the end. This had been a heavy topic between Logan and Aurora, since he thought it was pretty hilarious to tickle at these toes and watch her writhe with laughter as she tried to stop the oncoming itch she received from the edge of the pot.
He stopped the infamous day Aurora gave him a clip round the back of the head..
The TV was on in the centre of the room, but no real attention was paid to it. The next topic arose and heads idly turned to listen as Charles spoke, "I do hope the exams go well this year.." He commented briefly as he watch the far wall.
"Should do." Replied Storm, "I spent every waking moment getting some good questions on. Not a single mistake in them, and Scott proof read them for me." She then scowled at Logan, "But you didn't.."
Logan shrugged his shoulders with a grunt, "I couldn't be arsed." He answered blatantly. It seemed the bad mood was still there.
Storm huffed at this. She was filled with caffeine; she was geared up for a good slanging match. Her mouth parted to reply but Charles cleared his throat loudly and shook his head at Storm who huffed once more and sunk back into the soft cushions of the sofa. Aurora passed her a smirk as Storm muttered something only her ears managed to pick up.
Logan seemed to be getting on everyone's nerves these days, he was different, much more short tempered than usual, and the throw of witty insults Logan had to offer were always insightful.
Attention was suddenly grabbed as a headline flashed up and rid the image of the old black and white movie that dominated TV's in the daytime. Storm nearly choked in a sip of her coffee as the headline glowed from the bottom of the screen; meanwhile the news presenter arrived on screen with a serious expression.
"Senator Brooks has made a shocking announcement, finally releasing details of the criminal disruption to her private property. Three of the top scientists in America were knifed dead by what a camera has proved to be a white male in early 30's with short black hair, strong build and roughly six foot in height. Experts claim he is heavily armed and suspect he is a mutant. He is wanted for criminal damage, murder, theft, breaking and entering, kidnap and for grievous bodily harm."
"What the hell!" Suddenly said Logan in shock, standing and moving over to the TV.
"The public are warned to not approach the man for he is marked as highly dangerous. Camera's claim he is working under a larger criminal gang consisting of a white male, same height, lean build. He wears a slim visor that is said to harbour tremendous power. Also an African woman of slim build and white hair to shoulders. Oddly a wolf has been seen in their vicinity."
"Oh my God.." Said Storm softly, hand to her lips as she stared at the TV.
"Other news." Continued the female news speaker, "Reports just in from Jonathon Bromley who's at Manhattan as we speak. In the early hours of this morning a riot let rip on North Avenue against a household of mutants. Over a hundred protestors were involved and since are wanted for arson. All mutants were found dead from burns." Came the clear voice from the speakers.
"I knew something was wrong.. I picked up on fear. I just thought the students had been having nightmares." Said Charles softly.
"Emergency services refused to take part in the incident after reports from Senator Brooks. No doubt the White House will be rethinking it's claims for peace against mutant after the horrendous activities against Senator Brooks and the general hatred from the public."
"More updates will be at 6 o' clock after we screen the response from the President."
The sound of an orchestra signalled the end of the news as a couple of lines of credits rolled before it returned back to the film.
The X-Men stared at each other. "They're going to bring the Registration Act.." Muttered Storm softly, head in her hands."
Charles looked to the TV with a frown, "Or worse.." He said softly.
