A Brighter Tomorrow Chapter 1- 5 Years Later,
5 days after A Dark Future's end
Kurt saw Xavier roll in. "Kurt, she's awake, but you might not want to." He was cut off by a Bamf. "See her." He finished to the air around him.
Kurt appeared in the new med wing and saw his mother talking to Storm calmly. 'That doesn't make sense,' He thought. He walked in the room and got a scared look from Raven. "Kurt, please hold on," Ororo said. "Vhy?" Kurt asked. "Please Kurt, just come back in a minute," Storm said. Kurt looked puzzled and left. "Who was that?" Mystique asked in fear using her German tongue.
Xavier rolled in. "Vhat happened?" Kurt insisted. "Kurt, this very well might be a blessing in disguise for her." He was cut off once more. "Vhat happened professor," Kurt said. "She remembers nothing, she has no idea who anyone here is and thinks she's still living in Germany with her father," Xavier explained. "She doesn't even know what she looks like," He added. Kurt just stood there a moment. "I see," He finally said. Kurt walked out calmly, not knowing what to really feel, should he feel sorrow for this woman? Or should he not care, he had already decided and let his head hang. His answers had also died with her memories.
5 years later.
Jacen casually walked next to Kitty. "Hey," He said smiling. "Oh cut it out," Shadowcat replied. "Besides, we have a mission, the professor finally found a weakness in that grid where that heavily guarded compound is," She said. "So, is X23 leading the attack?" Jacen asked smirking. "Yea, apparently," Kitty replied. "I'm coming right?" He asked. "Sorry," She said giving him a kiss on the cheek, "But they don't need outright fighting," She informed him. "Oh, that's no fun," Jacen said frowning. "Oh cut that out," She said again and quickly rushed to the hanger. She was now in her new uniform. *For all those who saw the finale, it's the adult Kitty now*.
Jacen brushed his hand through his hair and shrugged, this was no real problem of his.
X23 *Seen as adult also in the finale* stood there with her arms cross. "As you know, my dad is out right now so the professor put me in charge," She said, Kurt, Kitty, Rogue and Gambit where all ready to move out. "Vell, vhere did ve get this information?" Kurt asked. "That there was a break recently in the defenses? We got it from Meltdown and Creed, they where in Alaska at the time and decided to tell us, well, Meltdown did anyway," X23 said. "Alright but what if we need backup? Shouldn't Scott, Jacen or Colossus come?" Kitty asked. "No, there not needed, the professor doesn't want a war, and besides, there with Raven right now on a mission to pick up a new recruit from Washington state, well most of them," She said. "Besides, ya'all got me," Rogue said hovering off the ground. "Not reassuring," Gambit said. "Hey!" Rogue snapped. "Stop it! Next one who acts up I'll just send Bobby," X23 said. "Alright Terra fine," Kurt said, X23 had taken that name for herself after a full year of being at the institute. Hank came in calmly. "Alright, mission is a go," He said. Everyone nodded. "Also, the liberation front of America has transports ready to take the mutants to a new location in another free world country," He added. "I really hate President Creed," Kitty said. "Think how much Sabertooth hates him," Rogue said. "Or me," Kurt said frowning. The truth of his brother's identity had been made known to them some time ago.
X23 now 20 years of age stood on the new Black bird and finally sat down as the craft began taking off.
Alex sighed as he dragged Iceman kicking and screaming down the hall. "You degrade both of us by doing this man," Alex said. "I don't care! You can't do this to me! It's cruel and unusual!" Bobby shouted. "I'm taking you to see your wife, who insisted on seeing you," Alex said narrowing his eyes on Bobby. "You don't understand! Emma only wants to see me because I forgot our anniversary! I'm dead!" Bobby shouted. "You forgot what?!" He heard from behind the wall. "You did that man, not me," Alex said as he continued to drag him. He dropped Bobby in the room. "There, now we're even," Alex said to Emma. "Even for what?" Bobby asked. "I owed her money, instead she had me drag you here," Alex explained and walked out. "Emma. about our anniversary, well, you see."
Alex stopped as he heard Bobby scream in fear. "How he married that, I will never know," Havoc said shaking his head slightly.
Bobby walked out of the room slightly pail. "What happened to you?" Jubilee asked. "Me and the Mrs had a talk, apparently she's not happy about how I forgot our anniversary, but she is happy that I agreed to take her out later tonight," He said. "And she also called me in there to talk about me about this thing called a 'relationship' and how she wanted to plan ours out over the next few years like a schedule, I've married a woman who wants everything done as planned," He said sighing. "Well, she did that once you got married 4 years ago too, but she didn't tell you that time," Jubilee said. Bobby blinked. "Goody." He said. "Besides Bobby, look on the bright side, you could have married Wanda," Jubilee said laughing. "Yea, poor poor Tyler," Bobby said. "Hey, there ahead of you, they have a kid," Jubilee said. "So at least we know he's getting it still," Bobby remarked quickly before noticing Tyler was standing behind him.
"OH GOD!" echoed through the mansion soon afterwards.
Bobby walked back into Emma's room with a black eye. "What happened to you?" She said looking shocked. "I made fun of Wanda in front of Avatar again." He said. "Robert, do you EVER learn?" She asked. He turned to ice and turned back, now completely healed. He grinned, "Nope," He said smirking.
"Where have you been?" Wanda demanded. "Ran into Bobby running his mouth," Tyler explained. Wanda smirked, "Ok, you're off the hook," She said. Tyler bent his knees and put his arms out. "Does daddy get a hug?" He asked. His 2 year old daughter walked over and hugged him. "Erica has been waiting for you, you where supposed to take her to the park an hour ago," Wanda said. "Sorry, I'll take her for an extra 20 minutes just for that ok?" He said smiling. Wanda smiled as well, "Alright, but remember what's going to happen if you slack off," She said. Tyler paled and nodded quickly. "Hex bolts hurt. I swear that's gotta be considered spousal abuse," He said standing up and holding his daughter. "And what court on earth will believe you? You're 6'6, 230 pounds, Tyler, really, and Hex bolts don't leave wounds," She added. "No court in the world Wanda, and why would I got to one? I've got a beautiful wife and a wonderful daughter," He said and kissed her for a moment and found his daughter tugging on his shirt. "Alright squirt let's go," Tyler said walking out of the room as Wanda went to relax for the next hour and 20 minutes, taking care of a kid really takes a lot out of you it would seem. *Note, this is adult Wanda now as well from the finale*
Bobby looked over the 'marriage' schedule his wife had given him. "Oh come on. she's got every major event planned, can't ANYTHING be a surprise?" He said frowning. "Well, depends," Tyler said walking past with his daughter. "What kind of surprise you're talking about," He added continuing. "Don't' forget, Piotr and Logan are going out later, Beast is coming too and your invited to come with if you want," Bobby said. "Thanks for the invite," Tyler said. Bobby then turned back to his schedule and groaned scratching his head. "That's it. this has gotta end, I get a say in the relationship too Damnit!" Bobby stated. He walked into his room where Emma was waiting and slammed the door. Jubilee, Rahne, and Sunspot waited outside it as they heard the argument begin. "Who bets that she just either cuts him off sex or seduces him to break his will?" Rahne asked. "20 bucks," Roberto said. "I bet he wins," Jubilee said.
Logan got back to the institute and groaned as he opened the door, it had been a long day so far, and it was only 4 pm. "Hey," He said to Storm as he walked in. "Where's Terra?" He asked. "A mission," Storm said. "Ugh, just when I get her a present for A day, I know I was late," Logan said. "She's not angry, since she knew you'd figure it out that you where 5 days late and spend more money on her," Storm said. "Smart little. oh well," He said continuing his walk.
"Hey Logan," Jacen said walking past him. "Hey, how's Kitty?" Logan asked. "Mission, and our fearless leader isn't leading it either, good ol' second in command is," Jacen said. "Stop being jealous, you know Terra was picked over you," Wolverine said. "I know, I should be first in command," Jacen said cockily, "Sure kid," Wolverine said.
3 hours later,
Rogue got off the X-jet first incase the stealth had failed. She could take any major attack shot at them right away if it was a trap. "So are Creed and Tabs gonna help us?" She asked. "Not a chance," X23 replied. "Great," Rogue mumbled as she walked out, her Cajun boyfriend following closely. Kurt moved ahead and saw the cold looking building before them. He frowned at the sight of it, he could tell at least 200 mutants where there, and by the looks of it, all solitary confinement. "Night crawler and myself will deal with the collar controls, Shadowcat, Gambit, deal with the security system," X23 said. "Rogue, get ready for combat just in case," Terra said, finishing her plan. "Alright, sounds like a plan petite," Gambit said. "I'm 5'8, I'm not small," X23 said looking unimpressed. "Stop fighting and get to the job," Rogue said.
X23 was Bamfed to the ceiling with Kurt. "First things first, we have to get the collars off everyone, then we might get some help from a riot," She said. "Ja, understood, the control room is under us," Kurt said. "Alright, let's go as soon as we get the signal from Gambit and Cat," She said.
Gambit and Shadowcat phased through a wall, this one lead to the main computer terminal. Gambit knocked the guard out who was standing shocked before them. "Cat, take care of dis computer," Gambit said. "Alright," Kitty said quickly and sat in the chair and began to work around the security system. "Done," Kitty said with pride. "X23, we got de comp down," Gambit said.
Kurt Bamfed into the collar control room with X23 beside him. The man at the controls turned and looked shocked as X23 round house kicked him in the head knocking him out. She began to hack the computer. "Easier vay," Kurt said, picking up the mans rifle and smashed the computer, sparks when everywhere. Every collar in the building shut down and fell off.
Explosions, and rampant attacked hit the guards as the mutants struck out with vengeance. "Ve have to clear out those who are too veak to get out on zere on," Kurt said. "Yes, the guards are all fighting for there lives on the main non prison levels anyway, we can get to the holding cells," She said.
Two guards rushed out of one cell and saw X23 jump at them and slash the fronts on there guns off and then easily knocked them out with a kick and a punch. She turned to the dark room and winced seeing the living conditions of the prisoners, they had virtually no light. Kurt teleported beside her, "Anyone in zere?" He asked. X23 sniffed. "Someone is in there," She said. She pulled out a small flashlight and turned in on to see a fairly large figure lying on the ground breathing heavily, he had just been attacked by those two guards that was evident. Kurt walked in and grabbed the feet and pulled him into the light. He couldn't open his eyes but Kurt knew who it was. "Adam," Kurt gasped. X23 did not recognize him, they had only met for a moment, and the short beard and longer hair he had now because of lack of proper hygiene where there, but it was evident they where able to shave and cut there hair at least once in a while.
"Hey, get up," X23 said. "He's in no condition! Ve don't know the extent of his injuries," Kurt said angrily. "Then he'll slow us down," X23 said. Adam's eyes slowly opened and the light burned his eyes. He moaned in discomfort as he rolled over to hide his eyes from the light. "It's alright mien friend, are you alright?" Kurt asked. Adam hadn't seen them yet, but if he didn't know better that was Mystique's kid. "Kurt?" He asked barely. "Ja, it's me," Kurt said enthusiastically. "Are we going or not?" X23 said getting impatient. "Shut up will you? Shit. I haven't seen light in a month. give me a break ok?" Adam said, his eye still adjusting. He got up and his blue eyes looked at the pair, Kurt frowned at the look in the eyes, they didn't seem the same as before, they where aged, they looked tired. "Ve are getting out of here, most of everyone has headed out and there are transports vaiting," Kurt said. Adam stared at Kurt a moment and at Terra, he stopped as he looked at her a moment. "Ahem!" Kurt said from the side and Adam turned back to him. "You vant to come vith us?" Kurt asked. Adam stumbled a second, barely able to keep his balance. "I don't see why not," He said weakly. Kurt put Adam's arm over his shoulders. "Grab on, ve are going home," He said. X23 grabbed Kurt as well and the three Bamfed to the black bird, Kitty, Rogue and Remy where already waiting.
2 hours later,
Jacen awaited as the Black Bird arrived. Kitty came out and Jacen ran forward and embraced her. "How'd it go?" He asked. "2 mutants died, and a few got hurt, but most got out," She said. Gambit came out next then X23 and Kurt. Rogue came out dragging the sleeping Adam who looked like hell and smelled like crap. "What the hell? You brought one here?" Jacen asked. "X-men don't abandon zere own," Kurt said. "Even if he vas only von of us for a day," Kurt added. "Yea, so we gotta get him to Hank or Jean," Rogue said.
Rogue dropped Adam off in med ward and came out. "The professor will be happy to hear about this," She stated. 'And I'll be happy when you finally let me take over!' Carol snapped. "Ah've really gotta see the prof about shutting Carol up," Rogue said rubbing her temples.
"Chere, Carol bugging you again?" Gambit asked. "You know it," Rogue said annoyed. "Well, Gambit knows a good friend who can help other than de professor," He said. Jean looked at him puzzled. "Gambit's good friend Jack, Jack Daniels," He said pulling out a bottle. "I don't drink that much Gambit," She said. "Well the professor is gonna be busy with de new guest, so you gotta numb her somehow," Gambit said. Rogue snatched the bottle. "I hate it when you're right," She mumbled.
"Did you see the look on there faces when I fired?" Scott said laughing as he walked in the room. "Of course, we where there Cyclops," Mystique said rolling her eyes. "Ruin my moment," Cyclops said frowning. Colossus and ignored Scott's gloating. "Jean will be back from her conference today," Colossus said to get Scott to finally be quiet. "Oh shit, your right, I gotta change!" Scott said. "Nice way to get rid of him," Raven said. "Why Mystique, I don't know what you mean," Colossus said with a slight grin.
Adam woke up half naked on an operating table. "What the hell?" He said sitting up quickly. "Ah, awake at last," Hank said. Adam turned to him and growled. "Well, nice to see you too, the professor wants to see you once you get settled in," Hank said. Adam noticed the lines of age kicking in. "Beast. you've aged," Adam said almost unbelieving. "Well, a lot happens in five years," Hank said. "No," Adam replied quickly looking almost hurt. "Not a lot happens in five years," He said and got off the table. Hank then understood Adam must have been in that place for the last five years. He felt guilt rise in his body, he was the one who left Adam behind.
Coming out of his room he felt revitalized, he had finally cleaned himself off, he had cut his hair, and shaved, he was back to his normal self. almost. He noticed his features had matured slightly, now being 24. He sighed, he had lost 5 years.
He walked into the Professor's study and looked at the man who sat at his desk. "Adam, it's been a long time," The professor said. Adam just stared at him. "Well. you are welcome to stay if you wish," He said. "Fine," Adam said. "I have no money, no friends, and no family; where else do you think I can go?" He snapped and walked out angrily. Xavier didn't like this, Akimov was now angry, but then again, he had a right to be.
Tyler sat with his daughter and Wanda watching TV, Erica had long since fallen asleep. "Think I should put her to bed?" Tyler asked. "No, we'll just leave her on the couch, of course you should put her to bed," Wanda said rolling her eyes. "Well, I'm not very good with this parent thing," Tyler admitted. "Really, I hadn't noticed," She said. "Just for that, I'm gonna let you take her to the park tomorrow," Tyler said. Wanda put her hands into there attack position. "Or not," Tyler quickly responded.
"Thanks dad," Terra said accepting his gift and boy was it a gift. "Remember, it's meant to shoot animals, not people, so remember, only wild animals," He said. "Does Sabertooth count?" She asked. "As an animal, yes, shoot him in the ass all you want," He said. "I think I'll try this out in the danger room on a holo animal," She said taking her new firearm. "She's too much like you," Beast said. "She is not," Logan protested. "Ok, I actually agree there, I was just teasing, she just likes to break things and shoot stuff," Hank said.
When X23 got to the Danger room she found it was already on. "At 11 o'clock," She muttered. "What program is on?" She asked herself. 'Hell mode', she read. "That's meant for 3 people," She growled and opened the door. Inside she saw a mangled pile of destroyed droids.
Adam stood there in the middle of the danger room and slammed his fist into the floor. He growled and turned to the last droid and blasted it. "I've gotten slow," He snarled to himself.
"What the hell are you doing at 11 o'clock, with the safeties off, and no one to spot you?" She asked. "Are you TRYING to get yourself killed?" She added. "What if I am?" Adam shouted back angrily. X23 raised an eyebrow. "You are aren't you? You're free from that prison, and the first thing you do with your freedom is attempt suicide," She said. "So what?" He said back. "I've only had freedom for 5 years, and I made the most of it, and you get it for a day and you wanna kill yourself?" She said in disgust. "You don't know what I've been through," Adam said. "Try me," She said. "Not many people have had as shitty lives as me," She added. Adam growled angrily. "You don't know me, so just stay out of my way and let me finish this program," He growled. "I remember you now, you're that idiot who wouldn't give up when I came here 5 years ago," She said. "Piss off! Before I get mad!" Adam shouted. "And what'll you do? You're weaker then you where back then, and I beat you then too," She said. Then it hit her, he was going to fight her, not on the basis that he thought he would win, but on the basis that he thought she would kill him.
"I'm not going to kill you," She then stated. He growled with fury and red lightning rippled violently around him. "Just, give life a chance again," She then added. "How? I never had a real life, this world has done nothing but torment me!" Adam shouted. "And it's done the same to me!" She shouted back. "You have to learn to pull yourself out of it," She then said. Adam lowered his head and fell back onto the ground. "Just go away," He said. She walked over to the terminal and turned the danger room off and then locked it. "Stand up," Terra ordered. Adam got to his feet and glared at her. "Now talk," She ordered. "What?" He asked looking confused. "Why is your life so bad, my father did this for me when I got here, he locked me in a room with him and I had to tell him everything and why it was so bad, so talk," She said. Adam blinked once and then growled angrily. "I'm not going to go into counseling with YOU!" He snarled. "I never said you where, now you can talk this out, or try to get out of here, but you'll find without my access code, that is very difficult, and yes, I have been trained to avoid psychics, and I know you're a low level one," She added. Adam roared and blasted at her with a red beam of power.
X23 dodged, jumped off the wall and drop kicked Adam. He hit the ground and cursed himself. "Now tell me what's wrong!" She shouted. "Why should I tell you huh?" He snarled. "Because I know what you've gone through if it's as bad as you say it is," She said. He glanced at her a moment and sat down on the floor. "The first thing I remember was when my father got drunk and beat me for saying the F-word, he beat me for crying after it started, I don't cry anymore, I refuse to." He started. Terra sat down in front of him and did what Wolverine did for her; she listened as he told his story.
2 hours later,
Scott came in the door after trying to open the door 3 times, he had tried to out drink Logan, no one ever said he was the brightest marker in the box. He finally stumbled in and Logan walked in after with a grin. Bobby was next and patted Scott on the back who looked ill and ran to the bathroom. "Hehe, I love tormenting him," Bobby said. "Why aren't you drunk?" Logan asked. "I kept icing up and it immediately heals and removes toxins from my body," Iceman explained. Piotr came in next and balanced himself off the wall. Tyler helped the other big man inside and then collapsed himself. "If the professor knew about this, he'd be ashamed," Logan said. ~Not true Logan, everyone deserves a break once in a while~ Xavier's voice said. "Never mind, he doesn't care," Logan said with a smirk. "I think Tyler will, remember what happened last time he went home in that state," Bobby said smirking. "Yea, but didn't you say you needed to be home by 12?" Logan asked. "Why?" Iceman replied, the color then flushed out of his face and he iced up. "Emma can only do so much harm to me when I'm like this," He said. "Why DID you marry her Drake?" Logan asked. "Same reason why Tyler married a bitch, she can't REALLY hurt me and I love her," He said with a grin and headed to the stairs, Logan shaking his head as he went.
Xavier was about to go to sleep when he felt almost the need to look over Cerebro. He went in and put the interface on and scanned over, he detected 4 all too familiar mutant signatures, two was good things, one could be but doubtful, and one was most definitely not. "Magma," He said looking over her profile, this must have been the first time she used her powers in nearly 5 years, well, at least outside a protected area. The others where not comforting, and he had assumed one dead for sure, he even looked into Jubilation's memories to confirm it. "Archive file, name, Adam Dyson, location, The former city of New York, class rating, Omega, mutant abilities, unknown, body seems to have undergone metamorphosis, codename, Void." Cerebro continued on it's profile and Xavier just looked at the screen.
New York's Ruins-
A sphere of glowing blue light appeared then imploded. A tall blue man stood up, he was a shocking MASSIVE. 5 feet tall. and covered in toned muscle, not a single hair on his entire body either. He opened his eyes to reveal red rings where the pupils should be placed on a black background. He grinned and took in a deep breath, showing his fangs. "Home at last," He said. "And without all that brimstone in the air," He added. He then disappeared in a blur.
Washington DC-
Omega Red let his coil swing through the air and wrap around a few things and come back and continue just to fiddle. "Do you have to do that?" Legion asked. "Yes comrade I do," Omega Red said. "Why are we here again?" Lucas asked. "Simple, I have killed Wrath, I have killed Maverick, and I cannot find Weapon X and Sabertooth," He said. "So, I am going after the people who really deserve revenge, the thing I was built for," He said with pride. "Your going to assassinate the leadership of the United States aren't you?" Legion asked. "Yes comrade I am," Omega Red said. "My government and purpose to live may be gone for now, but I will carry out there revenge, and then re forged the mighty Soviet Union in there image," Omega Red said. "Yea. well. whatever floats your boat Ark," Legion said. "Worry not friend, you will get to be second in command comrade," Omega Red said. "Gee. thanks," Lucas said looking unimpressed, Arkady ignored him and continued on his walk towards what he thought to be his destiny.
The mansion-
"And. now I'm here," Adam said, finally finishing every detail he remembered. "Wow. that's. wow," Terra said looking rather shocked. "Yea beat that," Adam said looking annoyed. "I think I can, but there are fewer details in mine," She said. "Bullshit," Adam said. "Wanna bet?" She asked. "Fine, even though I have nothing to bet," Adam said rolling his eyes. "Well, I started out in a lab, where they made sure I had no form of parent or anything, then they put me through 14 years with little to no human contact where I was routinely abused if I failed an exercise, they trained me to be a ruthless killer, and also made sure I saw other children playing and being happy to try to make it not affect me," She said. "Then they put me through one of the most arguably painful things possible, where they laced my bone claws in atamantium, after that they sent me to do a mission against shield, I escaped," Terra said. "So don't give me you've had it worse, I can't get into the same detail as you, but stop feeling sorry for yourself, it's disgraceful," She said standing up. Adam glared at her a moment and stood up. "Your right," He said simply and walked past her. "I'm going to rebuild myself to perfection like before, and if I where you I'd watch what you say to me when I'm finished," He said darkly and left the room leaving the only one who could understand what he'd been through in the institute glaring at the door where he had left.
"This place seems to finally be developing a backbone," Adam said as he headed for his room.
~X-men! We have a problem!~ Xavier's voice rang in all there minds, "Shit," Tyler, Piotr and Scott all said in unison, too tanked to be of any real help.
"Where are Avatar, Colossus and Cyclops?" The professor said while in front of the black bird and velocity as everyone had gathered. "Tanked, can't come," Logan explained. Xavier groaned, unlike before, he was disappointed now. "Why are we here?" Adam said yawning. He had been given a suit like his old battle attire, but now with the X-men insignia. "Let him talk and you'll find out," Jacen said quickly.
"Arkady Rossovich is currently headed towards the White House, and he has killed and destroyed everything that has gotten in his way to getting there, including 3 sentinels, 102 National Guard, and 34 police officers," The professor explained. "Great," Lorna said sighing. "Legion is with him," Xavier added. "Just our luck, your kid shows up, 3 years and he just decides to spark even more mutant human hatred," Logan said. "Let him kill President Creed, that's no problem to us," Kitty said. "You know we don't condone killing anyone, and if he dies the hatred will just increase," The Professor said. "Point taken," Shadowcat said. "So what now?" Adam asked. "We do our jobs," X23 said. "And what's that?" Adam asked. "Be heroes," Jacen then said. "Great." Adam said with sarcasm.

A Brighter Tomorrow Chapter 1- 5 Years Later,
5 days after A Dark Future's end
Kurt saw Xavier roll in. "Kurt, she's awake, but you might not want to." He was cut off by a Bamf. "See her." He finished to the air around him.
Kurt appeared in the new med wing and saw his mother talking to Storm calmly. 'That doesn't make sense,' He thought. He walked in the room and got a scared look from Raven. "Kurt, please hold on," Ororo said. "Vhy?" Kurt asked. "Please Kurt, just come back in a minute," Storm said. Kurt looked puzzled and left. "Who was that?" Mystique asked in fear using her German tongue.
Xavier rolled in. "Vhat happened?" Kurt insisted. "Kurt, this very well might be a blessing in disguise for her." He was cut off once more. "Vhat happened professor," Kurt said. "She remembers nothing, she has no idea who anyone here is and thinks she's still living in Germany with her father," Xavier explained. "She doesn't even know what she looks like," He added. Kurt just stood there a moment. "I see," He finally said. Kurt walked out calmly, not knowing what to really feel, should he feel sorrow for this woman? Or should he not care, he had already decided and let his head hang. His answers had also died with her memories.
5 years later.
Jacen casually walked next to Kitty. "Hey," He said smiling. "Oh cut it out," Shadowcat replied. "Besides, we have a mission, the professor finally found a weakness in that grid where that heavily guarded compound is," She said. "So, is X23 leading the attack?" Jacen asked smirking. "Yea, apparently," Kitty replied. "I'm coming right?" He asked. "Sorry," She said giving him a kiss on the cheek, "But they don't need outright fighting," She informed him. "Oh, that's no fun," Jacen said frowning. "Oh cut that out," She said again and quickly rushed to the hanger. She was now in her new uniform. *For all those who saw the finale, it's the adult Kitty now*.
Jacen brushed his hand through his hair and shrugged, this was no real problem of his.
X23 *Seen as adult also in the finale* stood there with her arms cross. "As you know, my dad is out right now so the professor put me in charge," She said, Kurt, Kitty, Rogue and Gambit where all ready to move out. "Vell, vhere did ve get this information?" Kurt asked. "That there was a break recently in the defenses? We got it from Meltdown and Creed, they where in Alaska at the time and decided to tell us, well, Meltdown did anyway," X23 said. "Alright but what if we need backup? Shouldn't Scott, Jacen or Colossus come?" Kitty asked. "No, there not needed, the professor doesn't want a war, and besides, there with Raven right now on a mission to pick up a new recruit from Washington state, well most of them," She said. "Besides, ya'all got me," Rogue said hovering off the ground. "Not reassuring," Gambit said. "Hey!" Rogue snapped. "Stop it! Next one who acts up I'll just send Bobby," X23 said. "Alright Terra fine," Kurt said, X23 had taken that name for herself after a full year of being at the institute. Hank came in calmly. "Alright, mission is a go," He said. Everyone nodded. "Also, the liberation front of America has transports ready to take the mutants to a new location in another free world country," He added. "I really hate President Creed," Kitty said. "Think how much Sabertooth hates him," Rogue said. "Or me," Kurt said frowning. The truth of his brother's identity had been made known to them some time ago.
X23 now 20 years of age stood on the new Black bird and finally sat down as the craft began taking off.
Alex sighed as he dragged Iceman kicking and screaming down the hall. "You degrade both of us by doing this man," Alex said. "I don't care! You can't do this to me! It's cruel and unusual!" Bobby shouted. "I'm taking you to see your wife, who insisted on seeing you," Alex said narrowing his eyes on Bobby. "You don't understand! Emma only wants to see me because I forgot our anniversary! I'm dead!" Bobby shouted. "You forgot what?!" He heard from behind the wall. "You did that man, not me," Alex said as he continued to drag him. He dropped Bobby in the room. "There, now we're even," Alex said to Emma. "Even for what?" Bobby asked. "I owed her money, instead she had me drag you here," Alex explained and walked out. "Emma. about our anniversary, well, you see."
Alex stopped as he heard Bobby scream in fear. "How he married that, I will never know," Havoc said shaking his head slightly.
Bobby walked out of the room slightly pail. "What happened to you?" Jubilee asked. "Me and the Mrs had a talk, apparently she's not happy about how I forgot our anniversary, but she is happy that I agreed to take her out later tonight," He said. "And she also called me in there to talk about me about this thing called a 'relationship' and how she wanted to plan ours out over the next few years like a schedule, I've married a woman who wants everything done as planned," He said sighing. "Well, she did that once you got married 4 years ago too, but she didn't tell you that time," Jubilee said. Bobby blinked. "Goody." He said. "Besides Bobby, look on the bright side, you could have married Wanda," Jubilee said laughing. "Yea, poor poor Tyler," Bobby said. "Hey, there ahead of you, they have a kid," Jubilee said. "So at least we know he's getting it still," Bobby remarked quickly before noticing Tyler was standing behind him.
"OH GOD!" echoed through the mansion soon afterwards.
Bobby walked back into Emma's room with a black eye. "What happened to you?" She said looking shocked. "I made fun of Wanda in front of Avatar again." He said. "Robert, do you EVER learn?" She asked. He turned to ice and turned back, now completely healed. He grinned, "Nope," He said smirking.
"Where have you been?" Wanda demanded. "Ran into Bobby running his mouth," Tyler explained. Wanda smirked, "Ok, you're off the hook," She said. Tyler bent his knees and put his arms out. "Does daddy get a hug?" He asked. His 2 year old daughter walked over and hugged him. "Erica has been waiting for you, you where supposed to take her to the park an hour ago," Wanda said. "Sorry, I'll take her for an extra 20 minutes just for that ok?" He said smiling. Wanda smiled as well, "Alright, but remember what's going to happen if you slack off," She said. Tyler paled and nodded quickly. "Hex bolts hurt. I swear that's gotta be considered spousal abuse," He said standing up and holding his daughter. "And what court on earth will believe you? You're 6'6, 230 pounds, Tyler, really, and Hex bolts don't leave wounds," She added. "No court in the world Wanda, and why would I got to one? I've got a beautiful wife and a wonderful daughter," He said and kissed her for a moment and found his daughter tugging on his shirt. "Alright squirt let's go," Tyler said walking out of the room as Wanda went to relax for the next hour and 20 minutes, taking care of a kid really takes a lot out of you it would seem. *Note, this is adult Wanda now as well from the finale*
Bobby looked over the 'marriage' schedule his wife had given him. "Oh come on. she's got every major event planned, can't ANYTHING be a surprise?" He said frowning. "Well, depends," Tyler said walking past with his daughter. "What kind of surprise you're talking about," He added continuing. "Don't' forget, Piotr and Logan are going out later, Beast is coming too and your invited to come with if you want," Bobby said. "Thanks for the invite," Tyler said. Bobby then turned back to his schedule and groaned scratching his head. "That's it. this has gotta end, I get a say in the relationship too Damnit!" Bobby stated. He walked into his room where Emma was waiting and slammed the door. Jubilee, Rahne, and Sunspot waited outside it as they heard the argument begin. "Who bets that she just either cuts him off sex or seduces him to break his will?" Rahne asked. "20 bucks," Roberto said. "I bet he wins," Jubilee said.
Logan got back to the institute and groaned as he opened the door, it had been a long day so far, and it was only 4 pm. "Hey," He said to Storm as he walked in. "Where's Terra?" He asked. "A mission," Storm said. "Ugh, just when I get her a present for A day, I know I was late," Logan said. "She's not angry, since she knew you'd figure it out that you where 5 days late and spend more money on her," Storm said. "Smart little. oh well," He said continuing his walk.
"Hey Logan," Jacen said walking past him. "Hey, how's Kitty?" Logan asked. "Mission, and our fearless leader isn't leading it either, good ol' second in command is," Jacen said. "Stop being jealous, you know Terra was picked over you," Wolverine said. "I know, I should be first in command," Jacen said cockily, "Sure kid," Wolverine said.
3 hours later,
Rogue got off the X-jet first incase the stealth had failed. She could take any major attack shot at them right away if it was a trap. "So are Creed and Tabs gonna help us?" She asked. "Not a chance," X23 replied. "Great," Rogue mumbled as she walked out, her Cajun boyfriend following closely. Kurt moved ahead and saw the cold looking building before them. He frowned at the sight of it, he could tell at least 200 mutants where there, and by the looks of it, all solitary confinement. "Night crawler and myself will deal with the collar controls, Shadowcat, Gambit, deal with the security system," X23 said. "Rogue, get ready for combat just in case," Terra said, finishing her plan. "Alright, sounds like a plan petite," Gambit said. "I'm 5'8, I'm not small," X23 said looking unimpressed. "Stop fighting and get to the job," Rogue said.
X23 was Bamfed to the ceiling with Kurt. "First things first, we have to get the collars off everyone, then we might get some help from a riot," She said. "Ja, understood, the control room is under us," Kurt said. "Alright, let's go as soon as we get the signal from Gambit and Cat," She said.
Gambit and Shadowcat phased through a wall, this one lead to the main computer terminal. Gambit knocked the guard out who was standing shocked before them. "Cat, take care of dis computer," Gambit said. "Alright," Kitty said quickly and sat in the chair and began to work around the security system. "Done," Kitty said with pride. "X23, we got de comp down," Gambit said.
Kurt Bamfed into the collar control room with X23 beside him. The man at the controls turned and looked shocked as X23 round house kicked him in the head knocking him out. She began to hack the computer. "Easier vay," Kurt said, picking up the mans rifle and smashed the computer, sparks when everywhere. Every collar in the building shut down and fell off.
Explosions, and rampant attacked hit the guards as the mutants struck out with vengeance. "Ve have to clear out those who are too veak to get out on zere on," Kurt said. "Yes, the guards are all fighting for there lives on the main non prison levels anyway, we can get to the holding cells," She said.
Two guards rushed out of one cell and saw X23 jump at them and slash the fronts on there guns off and then easily knocked them out with a kick and a punch. She turned to the dark room and winced seeing the living conditions of the prisoners, they had virtually no light. Kurt teleported beside her, "Anyone in zere?" He asked. X23 sniffed. "Someone is in there," She said. She pulled out a small flashlight and turned in on to see a fairly large figure lying on the ground breathing heavily, he had just been attacked by those two guards that was evident. Kurt walked in and grabbed the feet and pulled him into the light. He couldn't open his eyes but Kurt knew who it was. "Adam," Kurt gasped. X23 did not recognize him, they had only met for a moment, and the short beard and longer hair he had now because of lack of proper hygiene where there, but it was evident they where able to shave and cut there hair at least once in a while.
"Hey, get up," X23 said. "He's in no condition! Ve don't know the extent of his injuries," Kurt said angrily. "Then he'll slow us down," X23 said. Adam's eyes slowly opened and the light burned his eyes. He moaned in discomfort as he rolled over to hide his eyes from the light. "It's alright mien friend, are you alright?" Kurt asked. Adam hadn't seen them yet, but if he didn't know better that was Mystique's kid. "Kurt?" He asked barely. "Ja, it's me," Kurt said enthusiastically. "Are we going or not?" X23 said getting impatient. "Shut up will you? Shit. I haven't seen light in a month. give me a break ok?" Adam said, his eye still adjusting. He got up and his blue eyes looked at the pair, Kurt frowned at the look in the eyes, they didn't seem the same as before, they where aged, they looked tired. "Ve are getting out of here, most of everyone has headed out and there are transports vaiting," Kurt said. Adam stared at Kurt a moment and at Terra, he stopped as he looked at her a moment. "Ahem!" Kurt said from the side and Adam turned back to him. "You vant to come vith us?" Kurt asked. Adam stumbled a second, barely able to keep his balance. "I don't see why not," He said weakly. Kurt put Adam's arm over his shoulders. "Grab on, ve are going home," He said. X23 grabbed Kurt as well and the three Bamfed to the black bird, Kitty, Rogue and Remy where already waiting.
2 hours later,
Jacen awaited as the Black Bird arrived. Kitty came out and Jacen ran forward and embraced her. "How'd it go?" He asked. "2 mutants died, and a few got hurt, but most got out," She said. Gambit came out next then X23 and Kurt. Rogue came out dragging the sleeping Adam who looked like hell and smelled like crap. "What the hell? You brought one here?" Jacen asked. "X-men don't abandon zere own," Kurt said. "Even if he vas only von of us for a day," Kurt added. "Yea, so we gotta get him to Hank or Jean," Rogue said.
Rogue dropped Adam off in med ward and came out. "The professor will be happy to hear about this," She stated. 'And I'll be happy when you finally let me take over!' Carol snapped. "Ah've really gotta see the prof about shutting Carol up," Rogue said rubbing her temples.
"Chere, Carol bugging you again?" Gambit asked. "You know it," Rogue said annoyed. "Well, Gambit knows a good friend who can help other than de professor," He said. Jean looked at him puzzled. "Gambit's good friend Jack, Jack Daniels," He said pulling out a bottle. "I don't drink that much Gambit," She said. "Well the professor is gonna be busy with de new guest, so you gotta numb her somehow," Gambit said. Rogue snatched the bottle. "I hate it when you're right," She mumbled.
"Did you see the look on there faces when I fired?" Scott said laughing as he walked in the room. "Of course, we where there Cyclops," Mystique said rolling her eyes. "Ruin my moment," Cyclops said frowning. Colossus and ignored Scott's gloating. "Jean will be back from her conference today," Colossus said to get Scott to finally be quiet. "Oh shit, your right, I gotta change!" Scott said. "Nice way to get rid of him," Raven said. "Why Mystique, I don't know what you mean," Colossus said with a slight grin.
Adam woke up half naked on an operating table. "What the hell?" He said sitting up quickly. "Ah, awake at last," Hank said. Adam turned to him and growled. "Well, nice to see you too, the professor wants to see you once you get settled in," Hank said. Adam noticed the lines of age kicking in. "Beast. you've aged," Adam said almost unbelieving. "Well, a lot happens in five years," Hank said. "No," Adam replied quickly looking almost hurt. "Not a lot happens in five years," He said and got off the table. Hank then understood Adam must have been in that place for the last five years. He felt guilt rise in his body, he was the one who left Adam behind.
Coming out of his room he felt revitalized, he had finally cleaned himself off, he had cut his hair, and shaved, he was back to his normal self. almost. He noticed his features had matured slightly, now being 24. He sighed, he had lost 5 years.
He walked into the Professor's study and looked at the man who sat at his desk. "Adam, it's been a long time," The professor said. Adam just stared at him. "Well. you are welcome to stay if you wish," He said. "Fine," Adam said. "I have no money, no friends, and no family; where else do you think I can go?" He snapped and walked out angrily. Xavier didn't like this, Akimov was now angry, but then again, he had a right to be.
Tyler sat with his daughter and Wanda watching TV, Erica had long since fallen asleep. "Think I should put her to bed?" Tyler asked. "No, we'll just leave her on the couch, of course you should put her to bed," Wanda said rolling her eyes. "Well, I'm not very good with this parent thing," Tyler admitted. "Really, I hadn't noticed," She said. "Just for that, I'm gonna let you take her to the park tomorrow," Tyler said. Wanda put her hands into there attack position. "Or not," Tyler quickly responded.
"Thanks dad," Terra said accepting his gift and boy was it a gift. "Remember, it's meant to shoot animals, not people, so remember, only wild animals," He said. "Does Sabertooth count?" She asked. "As an animal, yes, shoot him in the ass all you want," He said. "I think I'll try this out in the danger room on a holo animal," She said taking her new firearm. "She's too much like you," Beast said. "She is not," Logan protested. "Ok, I actually agree there, I was just teasing, she just likes to break things and shoot stuff," Hank said.
When X23 got to the Danger room she found it was already on. "At 11 o'clock," She muttered. "What program is on?" She asked herself. 'Hell mode', she read. "That's meant for 3 people," She growled and opened the door. Inside she saw a mangled pile of destroyed droids.
Adam stood there in the middle of the danger room and slammed his fist into the floor. He growled and turned to the last droid and blasted it. "I've gotten slow," He snarled to himself.
"What the hell are you doing at 11 o'clock, with the safeties off, and no one to spot you?" She asked. "Are you TRYING to get yourself killed?" She added. "What if I am?" Adam shouted back angrily. X23 raised an eyebrow. "You are aren't you? You're free from that prison, and the first thing you do with your freedom is attempt suicide," She said. "So what?" He said back. "I've only had freedom for 5 years, and I made the most of it, and you get it for a day and you wanna kill yourself?" She said in disgust. "You don't know what I've been through," Adam said. "Try me," She said. "Not many people have had as shitty lives as me," She added. Adam growled angrily. "You don't know me, so just stay out of my way and let me finish this program," He growled. "I remember you now, you're that idiot who wouldn't give up when I came here 5 years ago," She said. "Piss off! Before I get mad!" Adam shouted. "And what'll you do? You're weaker then you where back then, and I beat you then too," She said. Then it hit her, he was going to fight her, not on the basis that he thought he would win, but on the basis that he thought she would kill him.
"I'm not going to kill you," She then stated. He growled with fury and red lightning rippled violently around him. "Just, give life a chance again," She then added. "How? I never had a real life, this world has done nothing but torment me!" Adam shouted. "And it's done the same to me!" She shouted back. "You have to learn to pull yourself out of it," She then said. Adam lowered his head and fell back onto the ground. "Just go away," He said. She walked over to the terminal and turned the danger room off and then locked it. "Stand up," Terra ordered. Adam got to his feet and glared at her. "Now talk," She ordered. "What?" He asked looking confused. "Why is your life so bad, my father did this for me when I got here, he locked me in a room with him and I had to tell him everything and why it was so bad, so talk," She said. Adam blinked once and then growled angrily. "I'm not going to go into counseling with YOU!" He snarled. "I never said you where, now you can talk this out, or try to get out of here, but you'll find without my access code, that is very difficult, and yes, I have been trained to avoid psychics, and I know you're a low level one," She added. Adam roared and blasted at her with a red beam of power.
X23 dodged, jumped off the wall and drop kicked Adam. He hit the ground and cursed himself. "Now tell me what's wrong!" She shouted. "Why should I tell you huh?" He snarled. "Because I know what you've gone through if it's as bad as you say it is," She said. He glanced at her a moment and sat down on the floor. "The first thing I remember was when my father got drunk and beat me for saying the F-word, he beat me for crying after it started, I don't cry anymore, I refuse to." He started. Terra sat down in front of him and did what Wolverine did for her; she listened as he told his story.
2 hours later,
Scott came in the door after trying to open the door 3 times, he had tried to out drink Logan, no one ever said he was the brightest marker in the box. He finally stumbled in and Logan walked in after with a grin. Bobby was next and patted Scott on the back who looked ill and ran to the bathroom. "Hehe, I love tormenting him," Bobby said. "Why aren't you drunk?" Logan asked. "I kept icing up and it immediately heals and removes toxins from my body," Iceman explained. Piotr came in next and balanced himself off the wall. Tyler helped the other big man inside and then collapsed himself. "If the professor knew about this, he'd be ashamed," Logan said. ~Not true Logan, everyone deserves a break once in a while~ Xavier's voice said. "Never mind, he doesn't care," Logan said with a smirk. "I think Tyler will, remember what happened last time he went home in that state," Bobby said smirking. "Yea, but didn't you say you needed to be home by 12?" Logan asked. "Why?" Iceman replied, the color then flushed out of his face and he iced up. "Emma can only do so much harm to me when I'm like this," He said. "Why DID you marry her Drake?" Logan asked. "Same reason why Tyler married a bitch, she can't REALLY hurt me and I love her," He said with a grin and headed to the stairs, Logan shaking his head as he went.
Xavier was about to go to sleep when he felt almost the need to look over Cerebro. He went in and put the interface on and scanned over, he detected 4 all too familiar mutant signatures, two was good things, one could be but doubtful, and one was most definitely not. "Magma," He said looking over her profile, this must have been the first time she used her powers in nearly 5 years, well, at least outside a protected area. The others where not comforting, and he had assumed one dead for sure, he even looked into Jubilation's memories to confirm it. "Archive file, name, Adam Dyson, location, The former city of New York, class rating, Omega, mutant abilities, unknown, body seems to have undergone metamorphosis, codename, Void." Cerebro continued on it's profile and Xavier just looked at the screen.
New York's Ruins-
A sphere of glowing blue light appeared then imploded. A tall blue man stood up, he was a shocking MASSIVE. 5 feet tall. and covered in toned muscle, not a single hair on his entire body either. He opened his eyes to reveal red rings where the pupils should be placed on a black background. He grinned and took in a deep breath, showing his fangs. "Home at last," He said. "And without all that brimstone in the air," He added. He then disappeared in a blur.
Washington DC-
Omega Red let his coil swing through the air and wrap around a few things and come back and continue just to fiddle. "Do you have to do that?" Legion asked. "Yes comrade I do," Omega Red said. "Why are we here again?" Lucas asked. "Simple, I have killed Wrath, I have killed Maverick, and I cannot find Weapon X and Sabertooth," He said. "So, I am going after the people who really deserve revenge, the thing I was built for," He said with pride. "Your going to assassinate the leadership of the United States aren't you?" Legion asked. "Yes comrade I am," Omega Red said. "My government and purpose to live may be gone for now, but I will carry out there revenge, and then re forged the mighty Soviet Union in there image," Omega Red said. "Yea. well. whatever floats your boat Ark," Legion said. "Worry not friend, you will get to be second in command comrade," Omega Red said. "Gee. thanks," Lucas said looking unimpressed, Arkady ignored him and continued on his walk towards what he thought to be his destiny.
The mansion-
"And. now I'm here," Adam said, finally finishing every detail he remembered. "Wow. that's. wow," Terra said looking rather shocked. "Yea beat that," Adam said looking annoyed. "I think I can, but there are fewer details in mine," She said. "Bullshit," Adam said. "Wanna bet?" She asked. "Fine, even though I have nothing to bet," Adam said rolling his eyes. "Well, I started out in a lab, where they made sure I had no form of parent or anything, then they put me through 14 years with little to no human contact where I was routinely abused if I failed an exercise, they trained me to be a ruthless killer, and also made sure I saw other children playing and being happy to try to make it not affect me," She said. "Then they put me through one of the most arguably painful things possible, where they laced my bone claws in atamantium, after that they sent me to do a mission against shield, I escaped," Terra said. "So don't give me you've had it worse, I can't get into the same detail as you, but stop feeling sorry for yourself, it's disgraceful," She said standing up. Adam glared at her a moment and stood up. "Your right," He said simply and walked past her. "I'm going to rebuild myself to perfection like before, and if I where you I'd watch what you say to me when I'm finished," He said darkly and left the room leaving the only one who could understand what he'd been through in the institute glaring at the door where he had left.
"This place seems to finally be developing a backbone," Adam said as he headed for his room.
~X-men! We have a problem!~ Xavier's voice rang in all there minds, "Shit," Tyler, Piotr and Scott all said in unison, too tanked to be of any real help.
"Where are Avatar, Colossus and Cyclops?" The professor said while in front of the black bird and velocity as everyone had gathered. "Tanked, can't come," Logan explained. Xavier groaned, unlike before, he was disappointed now. "Why are we here?" Adam said yawning. He had been given a suit like his old battle attire, but now with the X-men insignia. "Let him talk and you'll find out," Jacen said quickly.
"Arkady Rossovich is currently headed towards the White House, and he has killed and destroyed everything that has gotten in his way to getting there, including 3 sentinels, 102 National Guard, and 34 police officers," The professor explained. "Great," Lorna said sighing. "Legion is with him," Xavier added. "Just our luck, your kid shows up, 3 years and he just decides to spark even more mutant human hatred," Logan said. "Let him kill President Creed, that's no problem to us," Kitty said. "You know we don't condone killing anyone, and if he dies the hatred will just increase," The Professor said. "Point taken," Shadowcat said. "So what now?" Adam asked. "We do our jobs," X23 said. "And what's that?" Adam asked. "Be heroes," Jacen then said. "Great." Adam said with sarcasm.
