All the X-men have graduated from school either following a career as a teacher at Charles Xavier's School for the Gifted or have headed to university.
Joining forces once more Magneto and Mystique have rebuilt the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and have been responsible for many terrorist attacks against the human governments around the world
And both Professor X and Magneto are looking for new recruits.
"Hey mom" Neil said as he closed the front door behind him. He hadn't been home in a long time, but nothing had changed.
"Neil?" A womens voice said from behind a door.
As he entered the den he saw his mom watching TV with a look of shock on her face
"What's wrong momma?" he asked as his mom started touching him to make sure he was real
"I...your alive!" she said as she bear hugged him squeezing the life out of him.
She soon dropped him and slapped him across the back of the head.
"Were you been. You've had your Momma all scared! You get in trouble again?"
"No momma. I went to a boarding school in New York"
She slapped him across the back of the head again
"Don't lie to your Momma! You been in prison haven't you?"
"No momma. I really have been in New York" he said rubbing his head
"Why you go to New York? Whats wrong with momma?"
"It's not because of you momma. I've...changed"
"So now you to good for momma"
"No not at all. I'm...I'm a mutant" he said turning his arms to metal
She looked at him wide eyed before making a cross with a hand over her chest
"Look momma. I'm not a bad guy. I'm learning to control it and use my powers for good. Wow Jack was right that does sound corny"
"Who is Jack? Are you a gay now too?"
"WHAT?!?! No! He's a friend from New York. Look momma. The only thing thats changed since you last saw me are my powers"
She looked at him for a second before sighing
"Come. Come give momma a hug" Neil smiled and hugged his mom
"So does this mean you have a girlfriend?"

As Paul and Pauli are walking down their old street they noticed a group of their old friends hanging out by an old playground
"Hey guys" Pauli said walking up to them
"Oh. My. God. PAULI!!" a girl shouted running up to her and hugging her "Where have you been?"
"Oh nowhere really. Just New York" she said with an evil grin
"Shut up!! America?"
"Yeah. Me and Paul have been going to school there" she said pointing back to were her brother was hiding in some near by shadows
"Is that Paul? Hey come out here you coward" the girl said with a laugh. She soon stopped when Paul came out of the shadows. As the sun shone on his orange/brown 'crust' the ground around him turned orange. "Oh. My. God. What happened to him?"
"What this?" Paul said indicating his hands "This is my power. And you're right I am a mutant"
"And so am I" Pauli said as she turned invisible for a second
The girl stood in shock before taking a few steps back
"EWWW! AND I TOUCHED YOU!!" she shouted before running back to the others
Pauli looked in shock as her friends moved away, but not before spiting in their direction
"I...I..." Pauli started to say before Paul rested his hand on her shoulder
"I know. I know. Come here" he said as she hugged her brother and cried into his shoulder

"So your telling me you have absolutely no friends in LA?" Kim said sitting on a kitchen counter as Jack started to pull stuff out of the fridge
"Yep" he said closing the door with his foot, as his hands were full of food and soda
"Surely you knew someone"
"Nope" he said dropping everything on the table "Anyway. Your staying here haven't you got any friends in Reading-shire or where ever you came from?"
"Reading. And yeah, but they wouldn't understand me anymore. Alot of my friends are bigots"
Jack just shrugged his shoulders and took a can of soda before beginning to make a sandwich with what he brought from the fridge
"I really wanted to see LA" Kim said looking over her shoulder into the garden
"Look Kim. I'll make a deal with you. I'll take you to LA if you take me to Reading"
Kim thought for a second before jumping down from the counter and taking his sandwich
"Yeah ok." she said before taking a bite of the sandwich
Jack gave her an evil stare before picking up some more food and making another

Erika sat in her room with her younger sister, Danni (6), moving water from one glass to another
"Do you think I'm a mutant to?"
"I dunno Danni. Can you do anything like this?" she said as she turned the water jumping around the room into a flower and held it infront of her
"No, but I can do a handstand" Danni said jumping from the bed and doing a handstand
Erika smiled as the water also turned into a smile
"Why do you have to stay inside? I want you to come play with me"
"I'd love to, but the people of this town don't like me anymore"
"But you helped everyone. They should like you" she said climbing back onto the bed
"Yeah, but people get scared of things they don't understand"
"Well I still like you"
Erika smiled as she extended her arms and hugged her sister
"I've missed you"

"So what you're saying is we can't take the Blackbird" Kim said standing infront of Logan who nodded. Kim smiled to herself "Ok sure thing Logan. Come on Jack" she said as the 2 headed away from Logan
"That also includes the X-copter" he shouted after them
Kim stopped in her tracks and 'D'ohed'
"Your not a very nice man!" she shouted at Logan before running away
"So what is your plan now?" Jack said once they stopped running
"Well if we can't take the Blackbird or the X-copter then I guess were screwed" she said happily before walking away
Jack smiled
"You have a plan don't you?"
She turned and tapped the side of her nose "You'll see"

As Neil is leaving a 7-Eleven with a bag of groceries he bumps into someone he had forgot all about.
"Well if it isn't the loser" he said as Neil got back to his feet
"What do you want Point 6" he said picking up his bag
"Heard you got bailed after what we did to you. Were did you run to boy?"
"I didn't run. I went to school" he said walking past him
"I'm talking to you" he said pulling out a gun, but Neil kept walking.
Point 6 growled before firing a bullet toward the back of Neils head. As the bullet drew close Neils right arm turned to metal and turned into a shield that covered his head. As his arm returned to normal he turned and looked at the now stunned Point 6.
"Like I said. I went to school" he said before continuing up the road.
Point 6 just stared at Neil until he disappeared around a corner
As Neil got to his front door his legs suddenly became encased in metal. Before he could see what happened his whole body was now covered. 2 figures came out of the shadows and as the taller lifted his hand Neil began to float off the ground.

Erika got up from her bed and looked out the window. They were all still there. Each one protesting against her. Calling her a monster. She sighed as she sat back down once more. She looked out of her door to were the bathroom was. A sly smile danced across her lips as she saw the open window. She quickly got to her feet and turned every foset she could on. When she was satisfied with the amount of water she moved it all outside, climbed out the window and jumped onto the 'chair' of water. She smiled once she managed to get stable and began to fly toward the mountains.
As she landed her water chair was absorbed into the soil. It was not long until she got to were she was heading. An old lake her mom and dad always took her to. She sat on an old tree stump and watched as the sun set. She smiled again as she changed parts of the lake into dolphins and whales jumping in and out of it. As she watched them dancing in the water she heard a twig crack behind her. She quickly jumped to her feet and surrounded herself with a large monster made of water. She sighed once she saw it was her sister.
"Danni you scared me! What are you doing here?"
"I saw you leave so I followed you. I liked the pretty dolphins"
Erika smiled before turning back to the lake and creating more dolphins. As she did Danni began to grow larger and her skin turned blue. She smiled as a Chinese woman came from behind a tree and fired a whip across the back of Erikas head knocking her out cold

Kim sneaks past Scott and indicates for Jack to follow her. They get to the Proffesors office and Kim knocks. The door soon opens and the professor is sat infront of his desk marking papers.
"Ah Kimberley what can I do for you?" he asks putting his pen down and looking up to the young women
"Well basically. Jack and I are bored out of our skulls. Is there anything we can do? You know save some mutants and stuff?"
The professor thought for a second
"Jack you don't have to stand outside you know" the professor said as Jack put his head around the door and smiled weakly before entering "Well there has been a new mutant found in the Caribbean I was going to just send Logan, but this may prove to be a good experience for the both of you."
"Nice one professor!" Kim said with a smile before rushing off to get her uniform
"Yeah thanks" Jack said before he began to follow

As they get home Pauli ran straight to her room crying her eyes out. Paul sighed as he began to sift through the mountain of mail that had accumulated. It was then he realized he should of said something about leaving for a few months. As he was about to go to bed he felt a mild earthquake. Looking out his window he saw a giant made of fire making it's way down town. He quickly called for his sister, but as he did Blob burst through the front door, into Pauls room grabbed him and slammed him through the wall. The 2 fell nearly 60 foot down, neither getting injured, But then some strange orange mist came from somewhere and Paul fell unconscious
