A Different Path
Lethal's Quote: Life sucks. Death blows. That's why I like comas.
AN: Hello everybody, or maybe just Rogue Pryde my one and only reviewer! She's one of my favorite persons. I've noticed a lot of authors have sidekicks. I should get one. Keep an eye out for him/her! Like I said in the last chapter, this really isn't one of my favorites, but it works with the story. If you were wondering whom I paired Kurt with I would have to say... Rhane. Before people become upset with me I would like to say in my defense that if I had paired Kurt with Amanda, Ella would deffinatly not look like how I described her. Blue+ Black= Brown? I didn't think so. (NOT MEANT TO BE A RACIAL REMARK to all the blue people out there.) Ehh... this is one of those semi-annoying flashback, explanation chapters. I think I could have thought of something more believable, but there you go. Enjoy
Disclaimer: the stuff I made up belongs to me; you can only use them if you ask me. (That sort of raises one's confidence doesn't it?)
TOLD IN KURTS POV
About 70 years ago, mutants began appearing in great numbers. Nothing like this had been seen before, so the 'normal' humans became afraid and began lashing out at us. Some mutants struck back, killing humans. Some believed, though, that we could get along in peace. I once belonged to that group. We were called the X-men. We were led by the greatest telepath who ever lived, Professor Charles Xavier, God rest his soul. The X-men fought for mutant equality, but we also defended human kind.
I have always thought that was the right idea, despite people's reaction to my appearance. My sister, Rogue may have not. She was rebellious and once belonged to a rival mutant group called The Brotherhood. My 'mother' tricked her into it, but she did bond with the members. Out of all the X- men, she was probably closest to them. She hated it when she left, feeling as if she was betraying them, but still, she left. We soon discovered we were adopted brother and sister. While, I believe she was glad to gain a brother she despised our mother for betraying her repeatedly, a reason we both bonded over. Rogue never really counted Mystique as her mother, but she did look to the Professor as a father figure. We all did.
Eventually the attacks against the mutants increased. Almost every other day, there was a disgustingly, brutal attack against a mutant. Rogue began to wonder if it was right to protect the people who wanted us dead. She wondered, but still stayed on because she did care about the X-men and their safety. She stayed on even when the people we rescued threatened and insulted us.
Then, one day a former friend, Pietro was caught and killed. At the time, we had no idea how the speed demon could we caught long enough to be murdered. She cared about him and lived with him when she was with the Brotherhood, and her loyalty is the kind that doesn't die even when it appears to. She came to the decision that mutants could not peacefully live with humans. She abandoned the Professor's beliefs and left to join our Leader Magneto. She, and other X-men, counted that as her second betrayal. She despised herself for it, but believed it was the right choice.
The rest of us continued our thankless tasks as she helped Leader Magneto and his Acolytes. We faced each other at times and fought. She was a great fighter and could quite possibly kick some of our butts easily, but she always held back She never seriously injured us and avoided using her powers. She also tried to convince some of us that our belief was wrong. No one left; though sometimes I could identify with her. We still held on to the Professors ideals.
That all changed one day, when the humans came for the Professor. They brought more 1000 men with them to take us on. We fought and fought, but never killing. But they got past us. They had a special weapon, a form of knockout gas, specially designed for mutants. I'm surprised they didn't kill us. But they didn't care about us. They wanted the Professor. When we awoke we found the Professor. 600 unconscious men surrounded him.
At least he died holding on to his beliefs
All of the X-men were filled with anger and grief. We needed and wanted vengeance. Our protector and mentor dead, we went to Leader Magneto. Magneto was once the Professor's friend and wanted revenge, also. He would track the men who ordered the assassination down.
Rogue did not cry when she heard. She held in the pain. I wished she could let it out for once and let us share it together. With the pain locked deep within herself, she became one of Leader Magneto's fiercest fighters.
Lord Magneto tracked down the man behind the murder, a high-ranking government official. He assured us the death of the official was painful. And we knew it was. With our vengeance fulfilled we weren't sure it was right. He convinced us and told us we should work for the well being of mutants. We agreed. So with the combined efforts of the X-men, Brotherhood, and Acolytes we toppled the worlds' governments' and won superiority. Mutants became the dominant species and Homo sapiens a sub-link in our evolutionary chain.
But sometimes I must wonder... maybe it should not have been this way. What if we gave up to easily on the Professor's idea and let our emotions lead us. If we had tried maybe we could of lived successfully with humans.
Unfortunately, we'll never know now. Time can only move forward. That is how life is. It will go on no matter what choices we make.
AN: Well that was a barrel full of laughs. Do you think I have something against guys with P's at the beginning of there name/title? Watch out then Piotr! Ha Ha, I'm a riot. This chapter made no sense to me. Pietro caught? The Professor and a SURPRISE? I'm sort of self-deprecating. The TV poisoned my mind so I couldn't think of anything better. I will probably fail all my classes because of this fic. I waste my time typing so one person can review instead of doing my homework. THAT'S HOW FREAKIN' DEVOTED I AM!!!!!!! (Rant over) Thank you and review. Again, no flames. Ciao.
