Last Time in The Speed Of Light...
"Freeze and we won't shoot." yelled an officer. He looked angry and scared at the same time. Their was slight movement in the crowd of mutants and a shot was fired. After the shot was fired a body fell to the ground. No one moved as they stared at the body on the ground. The body of......
Chapter Seventeen: We Are All X-Men Now..
The X-Men and the Brotherhood looked behind them to see where the bullet had landed. No one was ready for it. There on the black pavement laid the lifeless body of Tabitha Smith.
Tears automatically flowed from Rogue, Darren and Pietro's eyes. One of their best friend was on the ground dead, crimson blood pouring slowly from her heart. Pietro ran over and held her dying body. He noticed she was still breathing but barely able to take big breathes.
"Don't leave me, Tabby." choked Pietro as he stroked her red streaked hair. "I need you." he cried. The tears pouring like a river. The rest of the Brotherhood watched as the teammate slowly died, and Pietro painfully cry. The X-Men got on one knee and lowered their heads, the police still had their guns pointed at the mutants.
"Always remember, I will be here for you. It will always be Pie and Tabby. You are my best friend. I'll save you a seat in heaven. I hope you and Darren make it. I love you." she whispered hoarsely as she drew her last breathe and closed her chocolate eyes.
Pietro sobbed hysterically as his best friend died in his arms. He kissed her on the cheek. "I love you too." he whispered as he laid her body down.
"You!!" yelled Pietro as he ran towards the cop who fired the fatal bullet.
The rest of the mutants looked the cop, anger filling their eyes.
"You ended a perfectly good life today! You shall pay! My father was right! Mutants cant live with you fucking Humans!" yelled Pietro as he glared at the cop.
The cop pulled the trigger again, but the bullets stopped in mid air. "I hardly think that was needed." said Jean as she dropped the bullets.
More cops had arrived, but this time with large taser guns. Storm flew into the air and started to form a thunderstorm, when one of the cops shot the taser at her. It pierced her side and a large pitched scream filled the air as she fell to the ground like a fallen bird.
Darren's eyes glowed Gold. He shot a beam at the cop, but the cop dodged it. "Damn!" yelled Darren as he rushed to Ororo's aid.
"You humans! We are the future!!" yelled Wanda as she started sending hexes everywhere.
Cops came running over and started or at least tried to arrest them. The X- Men sprawled along the Power Plant parking lot fighting with a mixture of powers and fist to fist. Pietro just sat next to Tabitha's body.
The helicopter was still there filming the fight.

"Retreat! They have tanks coming!" yelled Scott as he and Pietro lifted Tabitha's body off the ground.
"Brotherhood! Come with us!" yelled Jean, as she used her telekinesis to help carry Tabby's body.
The Brotherhood followed them into the X-Jet and they were off, however they needed someone to drive, since Storm was out cold. "I'll do it!" said Lance as he stepped forward. "You don't even know how to!" said Scott, as he tried to figure out what to do. "Yes I do, remember when I was an X-Men? And the recruits went for a joyride?" he said protestingly.
"Go for it!" said Scott as he moved. Lance looked at the controls, and the plane began to lift into the air. "The chopper is still behind us." said Kitty, scared. Wanda looked at the sun roof, and the platform. "Lift me up, I'll hex them." said Wanda as she was lifted up and into the night air. (If you don't know what it is I am talking about, it is the thing Jubilee went on in the episode 'Joyride' where she shot fireworks at the fighter jets)
After about twenty or so hexes, the helicopter was out of the way. "We are coming up on the mansion." said Jean to the ever so silent group.
Darren was sitting, holding Pietro's hand. Pietro had his head on Darren's shoulder as tears streamed down his eyes. Lance was driving with Scott as his co-pilot. Kitty, Rogue and Kurt were silent as they looked at Tabitha's body which was covered in Wanda's jacket. The rest of the mutants were silent, sitting there, absorbing the night's events.
Jean was next to Storm. Storm had a serious burn on her side from the taser gun.
The jet pulled into the waterfall garage entrance and the mutants exited. Wolverine of course didn't like the fact that the Brotherhood was there, but Jean took charge in explaining.
"Mr. Logan, we were just through hell together, not to mention the fact that we were exposed. We need to be allies not enemies. We lost too much already."
( In the Rec Room, all the mutants are there watching what was going to be said by the Mayor of Bayville. )
Amanda had snuck out of her house after her parents yelled at her for Kurt's difference in his appearance.
*Tonight you have witnessed some extraordinary events in the History of Bayville. The people you have seen today are what experts are calling Mutants. The term mutant isn't as alien to you as you think. The term has been used to describe people with physical ailments such as Progaria and Autism (A/N: I don't know if this is true in most places, but where I come from it is.) These mutants however seem to have superhuman abilities. Are these men and women dangerous? Many of the identified are students here at Bayville High. The following have been positively identified:
Scott Summers
Jean Grey
Kitty Pryde
Marie D'Ancanto
Darren Baker
Pietro Maximoff
Lance Alvers
Todd Tolensky
Fred Dukes
Wanda Maximoff
The late: Tabitha Smith
We ask that if anyone is interested there will be a meeting at the school's gym tomorrow evening to discuss this 'phenomenon'. We will also discuss whether or not these people should be allowed back in school. Since tomorrow is Monday, I ask that the Mutants come to school, but the school and the town will not be held responsible for any damage done to them.*
Almost everyone in the room flipped their lid.
"I have set up sleeping arrangements for the Brotherhood. Also, tomorrow evening we shall have a funeral for Tabitha. Logan has found a perfect spot in the yard under the lilac tree, which Tabitha loved. Tomorrow morning we will also discuss this meeting." said Xavier as he wheeled away, looking as if he was gonna cry.
There was a silence amongst all the mutants. Jean was the first one to speak. "We are in this together. Let's put the past behind us and move forward. We need each other during this time of adversity. We need to stick together. It is going to be hard but we can do it. We need to stick together for not only our survival but for Tabby. This is the end of innocence. We are mutants. We are the future of evolution. We are the next step and we need to be one. No longer is it going to be the X-Men versus the Brotherhood. We are all X-Men now."
Everyone just looked at Jean, her confidence was her greatest aspect. She looked at everyone as they were processing what she had just said.
"We're in." said Lance, who was speaking for the Brotherhood. The X-Men also agreed. The New Mutants were there also and they too showed their agreement.
Pietro spoke up, "For Tabitha!" as he put his hand in the middle of a circle. Everyone one by one put their hand in as well. Scott was hesitant, but he decided on it. They threw their hands in the air.
Jean's words were echoing through everyone's head, especially the words: "We are all X-Men now."
