Disclaimer: A whole host of new characters are mine. Please don't use them.
Of course, the X-Men and other such characters involved in the comic, books
and the movie belong to Marvel, and new ones are mine. Also the plot is my
own.
Throughout story: ""= Speech ' ' = Thoughts ^ ^ = Telepath
L.Eagle: It didn't all happen within a few chapters, cos we never actually read the death of the brotherhood. But yes, Magneto has joined but alliances aren't favourable with all, as you will notice in Chap 10, some aren't at all happy. He hasn't joined the X-Men team, but he is in their company, Mystique too.. and the school exploding was wonderful to write! I love doing heavy detailed scenes. And you seem to enjoy them! All of you! I told you this story would be going deeper into issues; it doesn't get much deeper than trying for a group massacre of mutants! D:
Oh.. and it more of boosted my confidence and mood than my ego! Wonderful review, thank you.
Jenny: The destination will be revealed once they get the transport. The idea was a shock to some of the x-Men too! It's drastic, but Charles is right, their main priority in the students and their lives.
And now.. the students are back on the scene and personalities and differences are becoming very distinct.
Chapter 12
"This is mad.." Muttered a voice from the crowd of students. The whole hoard of mutants had been travelling for a good ten minutes towards the airport, remaining in the coverage of trees. The X-Men took lead whilst the soon to be X-Men Rogue, Rian and Bobby took the back to force stragglers on their way. The three were involved in quiet conversation.
Rogue glared at the crowd ahead when she heard the complaint, "Some are so ungrateful." She muttered as she travelled along the grass and dirt in slippers she had hastily slipped on her feet when the alarm was raised.
Bobby nodded gently in agreement as they travelled.
Luckily once the sun was shining down upon them, warmth had begun to seep through the trees and to the cool skin of the students. Rogue, in addition to her slippers wore a long sleeved nightdress, for the obvious reasons whilst beside her, to her far right, Rian sported grey pyjamas and in the middle, the unluckiest traveller of the three was Bobby who had only boxers and a shirt to keep him warm. He had protested to Rogue's smirks and explained quickly that his nightwear had been in the wash, but it didn't stop her from her ridicules.
"Should have stocked up an extra pair for these emergencies." Rogue said with a faint smirk, continuing to try and lighten the mood.
Bobby groaned, "It's not my fault!"
Rogue snorted, "You probably sleep like that all the time, you dirty boy." She teased with a sly grin.
Bobby smirked, playfully nudging her to send her a few gentle steps before she came back his way and sent back the force much more, ending with Bobby colliding into Rian and almost to the floor.
Rian sent him back Rogue's way. Bobby gave a yelp to the toing and froing before he backed out of their reach with a grin.
After a short while the same voice of complaint spoke up again and through the throng of students the familiar figure of Sprite could be seen – he was the one complaining earlier, "You know, since our final year has ended we actually can walk free now!" He continued loudly, "They can't stop us leaving and getting free from their crazy plan."
Some students began small murmurings at his words, some placing unofficial bets on if he was going to receive a rollicking from Logan.
"Well why don't you leave?" Demanded Rogue all of a sudden, "The X-Men are providing you with security as this terror continues and all you can do is complain as they try to save your life! Regardless of their own needs!" As she spoke she stormed through the crowd of students, making her way to the figure that stood amongst the innocent group.
Sprite stopped and turned, brow raising, "Oh.. It's you." He sneered dryly.
Within an instant Bobby and Rian was by her side, "Don't you speak to her like that!" Shouted Bobby, eyes narrowing with dislike at Sprite.
Sprite huffed, "Oh, and you're gonna stop me are you? Eh, Frosty?"
Bobby growled under his breath, glaring at the blue eyes that sparkled back at him, gleaming with a devilish inner, malicious and cunning.
"Is there a problem?" Suddenly said a voice.
Sprite looked briefly over his shoulder. His cold glare meeting the red visor of Scott who watched him in silence.
"There's nothing wrong Scott.." Said Rogue gently, shaking her head, "Just.. random trouble between the students." She put a firm emphasis on 'students', watching Sprite with an inner nudge of glee at the horrified expression as she pronounced him as if were a lower rank to her.
Scott noticed no difference in her tone as she spoke and nodded briefly, "Good.. we need you to step in and sort out the rabble." He turned, adding, "Good work." He headed back on through the paused students to the awaiting X-Men.
Slowly the group moved on. Sprite growled lowly at them before he turned, moving away from Rogue's lingering bare hand. The three exchanged glances, unable to hide their grins at Sprite's defeat.
Logan trudged on, he became an automatic leader to the group ever since the bombs began, it was as if he could handle these situations and assume role without problems.
Logan said nothing as he walked; he travelled at a brisk pace, long steps made with thick stiffened movements that kept him going as if mechanical. His bare feet passed smoothly along stones and grit that mixed in with the dirt path through the woodland. Many behind winced as a stone digged in.. their pain threshold not as developed.
Logan stared ahead with distinct determination. He reeked of the persistence and honour that he always had. Always keeping his beliefs and doing as he pleased with a charming wit to escape questioning to his actions. But no charm was on him now, no blemish of happiness as he trudged ahead looking angrier as he travelled. Humans had driven him to the edge with their barbaric actions. Why.. if one were in front of him now there would be no doubt he would flip and rip their heart from their wretched body.
He shook his head suddenly, trying to remove the thoughts and desire he had from the built up rage. Aurora snapped her wolf head up to him as she travelled by his side. She watched a moment, worried. But she saw the determination flee back to his features and knew he was still pressing on, despite his thoughts.
Still the group travelled, now in tense silence. Logan and Aurora led the group, stepping calmly over small creeks whilst a fuss kicked up amongst students in the idea of passing through mud barefoot. Even though Aurora lingered, Logan continued to walk on, his figure growing smaller as he travelled. It was as if he was immune to the happenings and had told his mind to concentrate soley on his destination. Eventually students braved the onslaught of mud to their feet in desperation to catch up with the leader. Many found that the mud actually soothed raw soles from the sharp stones and grit.
A few complaints and winces later, the students found themselves stopping. Logan had now come to a sudden halt, turning and facing the group, "We're here." He announced, "We need silence." No one objected. Logan looked to Charles, "So.. let's hear that plan of yours again.."
