2013 Chapter 3
"So where did he go?" Remy asked as he and Wanda walked through the hall.
"I don't know"
"Don't worry chere Remy will find him." Remy said then there was a knock at the door.
Wanda opened the door to see Lance and John.
"Alright Sheila." John stuttered obviously drunk.
"John, Lance." Wanda said as they stumbled in. "You look…"
"Drunk." Remy offered.
"Hey Gumbit." John said before falling flat on his face.
"Gumbit." Lance said laughing. "I like the new name."
"Hey, I came up with that." John said from the floor then attempted to stand up but pulled Lance over with him.
"Lets get you two some coffee." Wanda said helping Lance up.
"Coffee, yeah I love coffee." Lance said to her. "You know what else I love?"
"No what?" Wanda said holding him up whilst walking into the kitchen.
"You." He said pointing at her. "Hey you know what we should get married."
Remy laughed as he carried John. "That would be illegal."
"Why?" Lance asked as he sat down.
"Because I'm already married." Wanda said passing him a cup of coffee.
"And I wasn't invited to the wedding?" Lance said sipping on the coffee.
"There was a wedding where's the cake?" John asked.
"We couldn't find you." Wanda said to Lance ignoring John.
"Oh." Lance said. "I think I'm gonna be sick."
Lance stood up and ran to find the nearest bathroom, but didn't make it so he vomited in a plant pot before passing out.
Wanda ran out after him, nearly falling over his body.
--------- ---------------- --------------- ------------ ---------------- -------------- -------------- ---------- ----------------
Lance and John sobered up in the infirmary.
Lance was the first one awake.
"What happened?" he groaned.
"Ah Mr Alvers, it seems you some how came in contact with too much alcohol." Hank said walking in followed by Wanda.
"Hey." Wanda said sitting down next to Lance. "How you feeling?"
Lance didn't answer but just groaned.
"Don't worry you didn't embarrass yourself too much, me and Remy were the only ones to see." Wanda laughed.
"What did I do?" lance asked.
"You confessed your love to me, and asked for my hand in marriage." Wanda said laughing again.
"Sorry." Lance said looking at her.
"Don't worry if you want to marry me you'll have to speak to my husband first."
Lance raised an eyebrow at this.
"You have a husband?"
Just then Kurt ported in with Talia in his arms. "Stay with Mummy."
"Hey Lance." Kurt said before porting away.
"Umm yeah and a kid." Wanda said as Talia started to run around the room.
"Man a lots changed since I've been gone."
"Yep, I'm married and have a five year old daughter." Wanda said gesturing towards Talia.
"I'm assuming Nightcrawler's the husband?" Lance asked looking at Talia.
Wanda nodded.
"Man how did that happen?"
Wanda smiled. "When you guys left, Pietro agreed to work with the government and left. So I was alone me and Kurt became friends and it kind developed from there."
"Cool." Lance said then looked at Talia who had stopped running to poke Pyro.
"Talia stop that!" Wanda shouted.
"Is he dead?" Talia asked listening to his chest. "Nope still breathing."
"How bout you mister you still breathing?" Talia ran up to Lance's bed.
"Well I wouldn't be talking otherwise."
"I'm Talia Josephine Wagner, nice to meet you." Talia said offering her hand.
"Lance Alvers." Lance said shaking it.
"Are you my mummy's old friend?" Talia asked innocently.
"Yep." Lance answered getting out of bed. "Now why don't you show me the kitchen I need some grub."
"Sure thing, this way please." Talia said leading the way.
--------- ---------------- --------------- ------------ ---------------- -------------- -------------- ---------- ----------------
"You have the candles right?" Jean asked as she unpacked the food into the cupboards.
"Yep." Rogue said holding them up.
"Okay then now all I need to do is set the tables." Jean said turning around to see Pietro.
"I'll do that." Pietro said running off.
"That was weird." Jean said to Rogue.
"You're telling me Pietro never helps."
The kitchen door opened Talia walked in followed by Lance.
"Hey look who it is." Rogue said to Lance. "How are you?"
"I've got a huge hangover." Lance said hugging Rogue.
"What's a hangover?" Talia asked listening to their conversation.
"You don't need to know about that just yet honey." Rogue said picking Talia up.
"What you been up to then kid?" Rogue asked.
"I was playing basketball this morning but Uncle Pie Pie left half way through the match, then I was helping Daddy tidy up, but he said I wasn't helping so now I'm looking after Uncle Lance."
"Uncle Lance?" Rogue asked raising an eyebrow. "How long you staying for?"
"I dunno." Lance said shrugging. "But we have to stay tonight you know for Freddy, Toad and the others."
"Yeah." Rogue said smiling.
"I've heard lots of stories about them we're they really cool like mummy said they were?"
"Yeah they were the greatest." Lance said to her.
--------- ---------------- --------------- ------------ ---------------- -------------- -------------- ---------- ----------------
Lance stood by the graves. He heard a crunch of leaves behind him knowing someone was there. "I failed them." He said.
Pietro walked up beside him. "No you didn't, they knew what they were getting into."
"That doesn't mean they had to die."
"No, but life's like that, not fair it let's the innocent die."
"You're calling Toad and Freddy innocent they'll be rolling in their graves."
"Lets hope not Freddy would cause an earthquake."
"Man, it's good to see you Pie." Lance said shaking his hand. "What you been up to?"
"I work for the government." Pietro said grinning.
"No way." Lance said laughing. "Man so much has changed. Wanda's married with a kid, you with a decent job."
"Yeah, we all have to grow up at one point."
Lance nodded in agreement.
--------- ---------------- --------------- ------------ ---------------- -------------- -------------- ---------- ----------------
"Okay how do I look?" Wanda asked walking out the bathroom.
"Like a vision of a new day." Kurt said pulling her towards him.
"I hate dresses." Wanda said kissing Kurt.
"I know, but you look good in them." Kurt said once breaking from the kiss.
Talia ran into the room. "I look silly." She said jumping on her parent's bed.
"Vhat don't you like your new dress?"
"No." Talia said crossing her arms. "Dresses are ukky and girly."
"You are girl." Kurt said picking his daughter up and swinging her round.
Talia giggled with delight.
"You are just like your mozther." Kurt said settling her down on the floor still holding her hand. "Ready?"
"Yeah." Wanda said taking his hand as they ported away.

Jean had candles lit everywhere. They were to eat dinner make a few speeches light some candles, and the students would go to bed. After that the X-men would visit their friends graves.
"So lets hope it goes as planned yes?" Charles said speaking to Jean.
"It should be fine. Everything's sorted." Jean said sitting down.
"But something is still worrying you." Charles asked.
"It's just the nightmare I had was so real."
"Why don't I take a look?" Charles said touching Jeans forehead.
Jean ran helplessly through the darkness, two large red eyes followed her.
"Run child you will be mine soon enough." A deep voice said.
Jean tripped over a body. She turned and looked at the body it was the Professor. The darkness faded and dead bodies appeared around her. They were all her friends lying in blood. Then there was a menacing laugh.
"Did you think you could get rid of me that easily?" It said.
Charles removed his hand. "Hmm."
"What do you think?" Jean asked nervously.
"Lets discuss it again tomorrow." Charles said walking away.
--------- ---------------- --------------- ------------ ---------------- -------------- -------------- ---------- ----------------
He called Erik to his office just before the meal.
"We seem to have a problem." Charles said to his old friend.
"What would that be then?"
"Apocalypse isn't dead."
"What Charles don't be absurd we lost a lot of our men to him, of course his dead."
"No, he has contacted Jean through a nightmare."
"And?"
"I believe he's coming back." Charles said sighing. "I won't say anything to the x-men till tomorrow."
"Good idea, and Charles you know I'll be here to fight." Erik said looking at his friend.
"I didn't doubt it for a minute."
--------- ---------------- --------------- ------------ ---------------- -------------- -------------- ---------- ----------------
"I hate dresses." Talia complained pulling at her dress.
"Shh Honey the Professor is gonna make a speech." Wanda said to her daughter.
"I know that most of you never met our friends who were lost in the war, but you have heard stories of them, they were the finest of men.... and women. They put their lives on the line to save our world. They were loved and have been missed dearly, but they are still in our hearts and our memories." Charles said then lifted his glass. "So if everyone would raise their glasses 'to our friends."
"Our friends." Everyone chorused.
The students left the hall whilst the teachers made sure they went to bad.
Kurt picked up Talia she insisted on going to the graves with them even if she was half asleep.
All the X-men plus their guests assembled around the graves.
All looking down at their graves they each put a rose on them.
Pietro stood next to Lance knowing he'd take tonight hard. He rested his hand on his shoulder.
Magneto couldn't help but feel proud fro his children, watching them he realized how much he truly missed them.
Charles looked at the graves of his students; he had looked at them many times since they died.
Kurt and Wanda stood in an embrace whilst Wanda held a now sleeping Talia.
Bobby hung his head low most of the people that had died were the new recruits his best friends.
Rogue and Remy stood together the same as Piotr and Kitty.
Jean and Scott stood at the side. Jean hated it when everybody was this sad she could feel their pain.
After a good half an hour they finally decided to go back inside.
Everyone sat in the kitchen drinking and talking about their old friends.
"I'm just gonna put TJ to bed." Wanda said carrying her off.
Wanda hated showing weakness and she knew if she stood there any longer she would have cried. All though a lot of the X-men did she refused to, especially in front of Talia.
--------- ---------------- --------------- ------------ ---------------- -------------- -------------- ---------- ----------------
Once Talia was in her pajamas she rested her into bed.
"Mum?" Talia said a little sleepy.
Wanda looked down at her daughter. "Yeah."
"Why can't Grandpa stay?"
Wanda looked sadly at her. "Honey me and Grandpa don't get along all that well."
"Why not?"
"Because he hurt me really bad and I can't forgive him for that."
"But his your Daddy, I'd forgive Daddy for anything."
"I know you would." Wanda said kissing her on her forehead. "Now sleep."
Wanda stood up and wiped a tear from her eye. She quietly closed the door behind her nearly bumping into Magneto.
"Wanda" he said.
"How long have you been standing there?" Wanda asked bitterly.
"Not long, we need to talk." Erik said.
"Fine start talking."
"I want you to leave the institute."
"What?" Wanda nearly screamed realizing her loudness she pulled him into her bedroom. "Are you crazy this is my home, next you'll be asking me to join your conquest of world domination."
"Wanda I believe that something bad is going to happen, I don't want you to get hurt."
"Bad? What have you got planned?" Wanda shouted.
"Nothing, Charles thinks that apocalypse may be returning."
"What? How?"
"Wanda please I'm trying to keep you from harm."
"Now why would you do that? It's never bothered you before if I get hurt."
"A lot has happened in the last ten years, I was hoping we could start fresh."
"Give me one good reason?"
"Talia."
Wanda considered this for a minute.
"Look I can't forgive you for what you've done to me and Pietro. It's just too…."
"Hard." Erik offered. "I don't expect anything to change over night. I just won't you to know I may be sticking around a while longer."
At that Magneto left the room.
Wanda sat on the bed and did the one thing she hardly ever did and burst into tears.
--------- ---------------- --------------- ------------ ---------------- -------------- -------------- ---------- ----------------
All the lads sat around the table drinking their beer.
"Freddy would have loved the meal." Lance said gulping his beer.
"Yeah mate he sure did love his food." Pyro said.
"Yep and Toad loved, vell vhat did Toad love?" Kurt said drinking his beer.
"Flies." Pietro said. "That and Wanda."
"Vell at least ve vould of had something in common." Kurt said then looking around realizing Wanda wasn't back.
"Talking of Wanda where is she?" Pietro asked.
"I don't know. I'll go check." Kurt said then ported away.
--------- ---------------- --------------- ------------ ---------------- -------------- -------------- ---------- ----------------
Kurt ported into Talia's room then finding Wanda not there ported into their room.
Wanda sat on the bed with her head in her hands.
"Vanda?" Kurt said sitting down next to her.
Wanda looked up her eyes were all puffy and mascara had run down her face.
He hugged her and she began to cry again. "Vhat's wrong?"
"I had an argument with Father." Wanda said through tears.
"Vhat did he say?"
"It doesn't matter." Wanda said tightly hugging Kurt.
--------- ---------------- --------------- ------------ ---------------- -------------- -------------- ---------- ----------------
John and Lance were drunk being practically carried upstairs by Wanda and Rogue.
"Why are we doing this again?" Rogue asked with Lance leaning on her.
Wanda shrugged. "Don't we always get stuck with these kinds of jobs."
"Yeah."
"Rogue." Lance trailed on. "Where we going?"
"To bed."
Lance looked confused. "Won't Remy mind?"
"Lance you're going to bed not me." Rogue said now sitting him on the bed.
"Ohh, Remy won't mind then." Lance said to her.
Rogue took his shoes off and swung him into bed.
"Lance." Rogue said sitting on his bed. "Where have you been?"
Rogue sighed. "Rocky you need a change of lifestyle." "Me and John travel, we drink and travel then we blow up stuff."
Next-door Wanda just got John into bed when he grabbed her and pulled on top of him.
"Alright Shelia?" John said grinning.
Wanda raised an eyebrow. "John let go."
John pulled Wanda forwards and kissed her. Wanda pulled back.
"What the hell?" Wanda asked but John held onto her tightly. His hands moving up her legs.
Kissing her neck. Wanda jumped out of his grip.
"What?" John said to her. "I've seen the way you look at me."
"John you're drunk get some sleep." Wanda said.
John jumped up. "Why don't you join me?"
"Because I have a husband."
"So." John said grinning moving closer to her.
Wanda's hands started to glow. "John come any closer and you'll get hurt."
John took one step forward.
"I warned you."
Wanda made John crash into the bed.
Rogue came running in. "What the hell?"
John was unconscious on his bed, which was in pieces.
"He wouldn't take no for an answer." Wanda said walking out of the room.
"What?" Rogue shouted. "John tried a move on ya?"
"Yeah." Wanda said walking down the stairs. "He did all the time when I was in the brotherhood too."
Rogue looked totally amazed. "Does Kurt know?"
"No, It's nothing I can't handle."
"You broke his bed." Rogue said stopping her just before they went into the kitchen.
"Yeah but I handled it."
"Just be careful okay?" Rogue asked concerned.
Just then Kurt ported in.
"Be careful about vhat?"
"Nothing." Wanda said.
"John pulled a move on her." Rogue confessed. Wanda glared at her.
"Vhat?" Kurt shouted.
"Don't worry, I handled it." Wanda said hugging him.
Kurt raised an eyebrow.
--------- ---------------- --------------- ------------ ---------------- -------------- -------------- ---------- ----------------
Rogue slipped into bed followed by Remy.
"You think that John and Lance will be okay?"
"Oui, they are stronger than you think." Remy said snuggling up to her.
"It's really great that Kitty and Piotr are gonna have a kid."
"Oui." Remy said kissing the top of her head.
--------- ---------------- --------------- ------------ ---------------- -------------- -------------- ---------- ----------------
Talia woke up screaming. Wanda and Kurt ported into her room followed by a lot the x-men.
"Vhat's wrong liebe?" Kurt asked sitting down next to her.
"I had a bad dream." Talia said clinging to Wanda.
"It's okay baby it was just dream." Wanda said pushing her navy blue hair out of her face.
"But there was a scary man, he said he would kill me and everyone else." Talia said crying.
"What did he look like?" Jean asked from the doorway
"I didn't see him just his eyes they were big and red." Talia answered.
"Okay, why don't you come sleep with me and daddy tonight yeah?" Wanda asked picking her up.
"Yeah." Talia answered resting her head on Wanda's chest.
--------- ---------------- --------------- ------------ ---------------- -------------- -------------- ---------- ----------------
Rogue walked down the corridor and into Charles bedroom. She leaned over him touching his face with her bare hands. She then continued to the other rooms touching most of the X-men plus their guests. She stopped in Kurt's and Wanda's room touching Kurt then leaning over to touch Wanda, when Talia screamed.
Wanda woke up seeing Rogue standing there and Kurt's unconscious body.
"Rogue?" Wanda said sitting up.
Rogue used her powers to fling Wanda to one side of the room. Talia started screaming again.
Wanda stood up hands glowing. "Rogue what are you doing?"
Rogue teleported next to her. Wanda pushed her back with her powers. Rogue used Scott's optic blast against her. Pushing her into the next room.
Wanda stood up her hands still glowing. She held back any of Rogue's powers. Magneto ran into the room hearing the loud crash. Talia was still crying and Wanda was struggling against Rogue. "Get Talia out of here!" Wanda screamed. Erik picked up the child passing her to one of the students that had gathered behind them.
He then ripped the metal shelves off the wall then curled them around Rogue stopping her from moving. Wanda then smacked her into the wall knocking her unconscious.
Wanda slumped to the floor exhausted. "What the hell was she doing?"
Erik walked to the window peering out. "Mesmero."
"What didn't we kill him?"
"Obviously not."
One of the students ran into the room. "Mrs Wagner all the teachers are unconscious."
Wanda stood up "Okay, I'll take Rogue down into the danger room. We don't have a jail or anything, but why the hell would she attack us?"
Jamie walked in rubbing his eyes. "What happened here?"
"Rogue's flipped out, can you get the students back to bed?" Wanda asked.
"Yeah sure what about TJ?"
"I'll look after her if you want?" Erik said taking her off the student.
Wanda took a deep breath. "Okay, but only cause there's no one else."
Talia was still crying. "Baby I'll be back in a little while, stay with Grandpa okay?"
Talia nodded her head.
"Oh and Jamie see which X-men are out, I may need some help containing Rogue if she wakes up."
Jamie nodded and started to send the students back to bed.
