I should let the readers know that I have absolutely no idea where I am going with this. Each chapter I write is ideas I just get, so I get on the computer and type away. All I know is eventually, probably not too long, the Brotherhood will get involved. Not sure if the X-Men will fight or team-up like in X2. Maybe both…… Well one thing is for sure. I will make Death and Pyro face off, former best friends and now arch enemy's.
Remember, italic writing is Death's thoughts.

The Bane
Chapter 3
"Ergh. Shit!" The first word's of Dean's day. He woke with the sun peering through the blinds in his room. This stung his eyes more so, being a nocturnal creature.
Last night he and Logan had a few beers. Well, that's how it started out. A few beers turned out to be a night of drinking practically every alcohol under the sun. Where the hell did he get so much? I suppose with his healing factor he didn't have to worry about a hang-over.
Dean slowly emerged from his bed, still wearing his black jeans worn last night. He randomly picked some clothes from his draws, picking up a black tank top and faded blue jeans and had a hot shower.
When he got out he felt refreshed but needed something to eat fast. Had to get something else in his stomach other than the left over alcohol.
He stumbled down stairs way heading straight to the kitchen. When he reached to end of the stair case he nearly tripped over Multiple. Well, three Multiples running past. Dean growled and let out a few unspeakable cursing words.
In the Kitchen was Storm and Jean, cutting up some cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes and other assorted fruits and vegetables. Guess they were making some sort of salad. The knife hitting the chopping board loudly drove Dean insane, feeling especially grumpy this morning. It was nearly 10:30
"Could you keep that down?" Dean said quite loud, too loud than was needed. But Dean didn't relise this with his senses going haywire.
"Well good morning to you too!" Storm said condescendingly.
"Enjoy your night?" Jean asked knowing all too well what he and Logan were upto. Everyone knew Dean drank with Logan occasionally. Everyone was ok with, except tight ass Scott. Even the Professor didn't mind as long as it wasn't seen by the younger students. Dean was a role model after all. He often rolled his eyes to that thought. Dean just gave Jean a look and tried not to get pissed of about it.
He went to the fridge looking for something to fill him up. Some left over Chinese food, beef in black bean sauce.
"Who's is this?"
"Umm. I dunno." Jean answered honestly having no idea.
"Well I'm eating it then." Dean put the plastic box into the microwave, setting the timer for 30 seconds. When it was done he sat at the bench and picked up a bottle of Dr. Pepper. Nice healthy start to the day. When Dean was about to take his first bite, he heard Xavier's voice in his head.
{Please come to my office for a team meeting in 10 minutes}
Nightcrawler teleported into the room and walk out of the kitchen, heading into the hall where the stairs to Xavier office was. Jean and Storm headed off in the same direction. Obvious all the X-Men got the call.
Shit. Just about to start eating. Ah fuck it; he said 10 minutes so I'll take 10 minutes.
* * * * *
Dean twisted the gold knob of the door and entered Xavier's office. Everyone gave him a short look which made Dean slightly embarrassed being the centre of attention for that brief moment, probably because he was last to get there. Scoot and Jean were on a sofa together, as was Bobby and Rogue on the opposite side of the room. Kurt was standing by the sofa where Scott and Jean were, Ororo sitting on the arm rest of a single chair and Logan leaning on wall in the corner.
"So what's happening Professor?" Scott the first to ask the question on everybody's mind.
"This morning I was using Cerebro, doing my usual check on mutant activity, when I came on a certain group of mutants.
"Who?" Storm inquired
"The Brotherhood. To be more specific, Toad and Pyro."
The mention of Pyro silenced everybody and tried not to look at Dean, wanting to see his reaction but not wanting him to know that. He knew though, he could sense it. Didn't even need his powers to sense it.
"So what are we going to do?" Kurt asked with a think German accent.
"It could be nothing but they could also be under orders from Magneto, planning another attack on humans. I want you to go on patrol around the New York area and inform me if you find something. In the meantime I will continue to investigate using Cerebro. That is all. Go in groups of two or three. I'm sure you can settle amongst yourselves who will team up with who. Dismissed."
The X-Men slowly emerged from the office and went on about their daily routines, with the thought of the Brotherhood stuck in their head. Dean just stood outside of the office, looking down in thought. Rogue looked at him from behind wanting to talk to him.
"Are you coming?" Bobby asked Rogue, trying to get her attention away from Dean, jealousy starting to build up in him like a gas pipe about to explode. He knew that he liked Rogue, so did everybody else for that matter, and Rogue was his best friend, which made Bobby very observant went they were together.
"I'll see ya in a minute. Go ahead without me." Bobby stood for a second and walked off, shaking his head in annoyance and disapproval. Rogue saw this but shrugged it. Rogue placed a hand on Dean's shoulder, who was still looking at the floor.
"Are you alright." She asked.
"Yeah I'm fine. Don't worry about me."
"You sure? If you wanna talk abou-"
"No it's fine." Dean interrupted and walks off quickly, heading to his room. When he got to his room he sat on his bed and took a deep breath. He stood up and went to his desk, picking up a picture of Pyro and himself, back in the happy days. They both had an arm around each other. Smiling. Something Dean hadn't real done for a long time. Dean put the picture back in its spot.
John. Damn you.
