I do not own X-men Evolution
My oh my my my, it has been a long time hasn't it everyone? I'm just glad I finally worked up the balls to take on the huge task of finishing this story, the Alliance story will most likely not be finished however, I made that universe too broad to finish within a year, let alone now.
One thing I would like to say is that I really do thank my loyal viewers from over the year now, I hope that the new chapter will be to your expectations.
Alas, this will not be a Chapter for the Brotherhood, I am going to have to get the X-men team rolling again, and set who is going to be the current villains, I am excited with some ideas so far however.
Now, some of the OCs from the other story may not appear again, and I apologize if they don't, but I hope for many of them to be cameos and what not. Remember, this story takes place five years after A Dark Future, I do hope to bring some back, but others will be cameos and only briefly involved.
I do intend to E-mail everyone who reviewed A Dark Future and the few brief chapters of this one.
But for those who are just reading this now, I must tell you, there is a story before this one. Click on my Name, and see my previous stories, you will see A Dark Future, the prequel story. That story leads to this one, and I must admit, is one of the stories I have enjoyed writing the most over the last year and a half, because of the input from other people, and just how successful the OCs were, and how it focused on Cannon Characters to a great extent, which I have always had a problem doing in my stories, so I am very proud of it.
A Brighter Tomorrow Chapter 3- New Occurrences
Adam woke groggily and groaned. "My body feels broken," He muttered. "It is," Beast said walking over to him. "Huh?" Adam then looked down to see the bandages.
"Shit," He muttered. "The others have been talking about how you have a knack for hurting yourself in battle," Beast chuckled. "I fight to win, as long as I win, life or death means nothing," Adam said emotionlessly. "My, quiet the soldier," Beast said and examined Adam.
Adam then gulped. "I have to know something," He said looking at the ceiling. "What might that be Mr. Akimov?" Beast asked. "Madelyn, what happened to her?" He asked in a mournful voice. "Oh," Beast said cautiously. "I really don't think that is my place to answer, perhaps Jean, or Scott would be better for such a..." He was cut off.
"Tell me," He demanded. Beast left the room and Adam snarled.
Jean entered the room a short time later with a very professional look about her. "Beast has told me you want to know about Madelyn," She said.
Adam looked at Jean and growled. "Answer, did you ask about her or not?" Jean asked. "Yes, yes I did," Adam said looking slightly spaced.
"In the last five years Madelyn built a life for herself," Jean answered. "Just tell me what happened," Adam said. "When? Are you asking me to account for five years?" She asked. "I'm asking a pretty fucking simple question Jean! Do not treat me like an inferior child!" He shouted and she felt him telepathically trying to lash through her mental shields, but he was far too weak of a telepath to do so.
"Madelyn was devastated by your capture, and we assumed you dead," She said simply. "She mourned for almost a year before she was even approachable with your capture," Jean stated.
"She waited another year for you to return, hoping you would, and then gave up, she had enough," She explained. "Warren Worthington and her became close, and married a year later, and last year had their son Isaac, she isn't entirely happy, and the relationship seems to be falling apart, but she and Warren are trying to make it work," Jean explained.
Adam remained humble and sat there. "I'll leave you to yourself," Jean said. "Is X23 alright?" Adam questioned. "She's fine, thanks to you," Jean said. "Don't say it was because of me," Adam snapped. Jean gave him a look of pity and left.
'Everyone has advanced, everyone has moved on, everyone but me,' He thought with self pity and sorrow.
Iceman was tired of constant groups of assassins and fanatics, it was getting annoying. 'This anti-mutant bullshit has to stop,' he thought. It had been a rough week since the attack by those mutants.
He had woken beside Emma as he normally did, but today was much more pleasant as he woke with her arms wrapped around him. Normally they slept fairly separated on the bed. She had been on him about schedules lately, but to be honest, he didn't much care. She had everything planned and it annoyed him.
When he entered his room again to get a new shirt from ripping his in the Danger Room he saw Emma sitting on the bed looking dazed, he iced up and approached her.
"Emma are you alright?" He asked. "Its not supposed to be like this," She mumbled. "Not supposed to be like what?" Iceman asked looking concerned. "This is YOUR fault," She hissed. He stood still knowing she couldn't hurt him. "What did I exactly do?" He asked.
"You completely fucked up my plans! None of the schedule will work out now! You... you..." She tried to finish but broke into tears. He blinked twice and turned back into his normal state, hoping she wouldn't try to kill him.
Bobby wrapped his arms around his wife and put his right hand on the back of her head and pulled her closer. "Everything's going to be fine, we'll fix whatever problem it is," He said trying to sooth her. "I don't want to kill it!" She said continuing to cry. "Kill what?" He asked. She finally stopped crying for a moment. "I'm pregnant," She admitted. Bobby's world froze.
Wolverine walked into Charles' office and sat down. "I think I may have discovered the origin of the attack," He said. Logan listened carefully. "I called you here because from what I've gathered so far, the most reasonable assumption is that Hydra was behind it," He explained. "Hydra?" Logan asked.
"Yes, the group that created X23," Charles explained. "We only know their motive involved eliminating X23, you, and possibly the team," Charles said. "Think they'll strike again?" Logan asked. "I'm not sure," Charles replied. "But the next time, we will be more prepared,"
Cyclops shot down another sentinel in annoyance, Bobby had yet to return. He finished the last Sentinel and ended the simulation. "This is just ridiculous," He growled and exited the room, it had been over an hour.
X23 walked towards the Infirmary and saw Hank on the way.
"How is he?" She asked. "Ah, another visitor, has cupids arrow struck the?" Beast said playfully and Terra blushed slightly. "He's woken up, but... he got some very hard news, he might not be in the best mood," Beast said.
X23 nodded and was about to enter the infirmary when Logan grabbed her shoulder. "What?" She asked rudely. "We know who did the attack," Logan said. 'Two birds with one stone, keep her away from this worthless carcass, and inform her of the danger... I never realized how sneaky you become when you're a parent...' He thought.
"Who?" She asked. "Hydra," Logan said. Immediately Terra headed for Xavier's. Logan looked on as she left and entered the infirmary.
"Wolverine,"
Scott walked over to Drake's room and pounded on the door. "We're kinda busy right now!" Came muffled through the door. "You left me to DIE in the Danger Room Drake! You better have not left for a quicky or I'll kill you!" Scott shouted.
The door blew off the hinges as a massive bolt of ice hit it and knocked Scott over.
"We're having a crisis right now you bastard!" Bobby said grabbing Scott by the collar as he pulled him to his feet. "Now I'm sorry, but this is important, and I'm not fucking right now," Bobby said looking annoyed. Scott nodded and Bobby let go and walked back inside his room.
"This isn't supposed to happen to me," Emma said. "Emma, unexpected things happen in life, you can't plan everything," Bobby said. "I was careless!" She spat. He sighed and rubbed his eyes. "Emma, I'm not angry, I'm happy, really!" Bobby said putting a smile on.
"Y-you are?" She asked. "Read my mind to prove it, if I'm not happy, I'm sure you'll kill me," He said with a smile. "But we'll be terrible parents," She said sadly. "We don't know that do we?" He asked.
"Bobby, since I met you, whenever any idea of children came into your mind, you thought of how horrid of a parent you would be, and I know for a fact I wouldn't be a good parent, in fact, right now, you are thinking desperately on how you can change yourself to be a good parent, instead of the horrid one you see yourself as," She said. 'DAMN!' Bobby thought.
"You got me," Bobby said. "But I'm still happy," He said and pulled her into an embrace and kissed her passionately. He then broke the kiss after 3 moments "Everything will work out," He said. 'I'm going to be a father...' It really hit him, his heart rate started to increase and he smiled dumbly.
Scott heard the entire affair and felt like a complete asshole.
Wolverine glared at Adam who glared back. "What do you want?" Adam demanded. "I'm here for two reasons," He said. "First, I want to thank you for saving Terra," He said. "And next, I'm here to tell you to stay away from her," Wolverine said. "This again? Logan please, you must be getting old, you keep going on about the same things," Adam said smirking.
"You are a plague Akimov, I know it, everything you touch burns away and decays, and I won't let that happen to my daughter," He said crossing his arms. "I don't even want you here, every team you've joined has had major problems during and after you left," He added.
Adam lowered his head and then raised it back to Logan's gaze. "I'll leave when I want to leave old man," He said dangerously. "And as soon as I am healed, you'll see the just how powerful the perfect weapon is," He growled. "You can't touch me Akimov, you're not perfect and you know it, if it wasn't for Selene's pity, you'd be nothing but a body," Logan spat.
Energy rippled up Adam's body as he twitched with rage. "I hate you more then anything Mr. Howlett, that's what that freak called you, and I hate you for a good reason, you condemned me to working for Selene," He snarled. "Do not turn your back on me Logan, this is the only warning you will get, we have no common enemy this time, and the first chance I get, will be your death," He said with hate seething off every word.
"And if you try anything to harm anyone here, I'll gut you like a fish, bub," Logan said and walked out.
London England-
Jacen walked with Kitty as they saw Big Ben. "It's really amazing isn't it, seeing it in person," Kitty said breathlessly.
"I suppose, but I've seen it before," He said shrugging. The pair continued on their way, enjoying their holiday as much as they could knowing they would be leaving for home in five days.
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada-
Wanda looked at the city as Tyler drove with a broad smile on his face. Erica was in a baby seat in the back.
"This is where you grew up?" She asked. "Yes," He said.
"It's very nice," Wanda said. "I know, but this is the better part of the city, right now we're around Canada Place," He said. "I'm hoping to take you two to the interior before we leave, it's beautiful," He said.
"Tyler," Wanda asked as they drove past a large building. "Yes?" He asked with a smile on his face. "Do you think you'll go to hell?" She asked. He pulled over and sat a moment. "I don't know," He finally said. "I hadn't thought much on anything like that, I try not to," He said. "I know, it's just I've been thinking a lot and..." She was cut off.
"It doesn't matter Wanda, when I go to whatever afterlife there is, I'll find out," He said. "Now, can we enjoy our vacation?" He asked with a large smile. She smiled back and nodded, before they could started the car Tyler saw someone in front of his car and he slapped his hand on the hood.
Tyler blinked and saw who it was. He opened the door and quickly got out. "Jonathan you son of a bitch!" He said walking out and the two slapped their hands together and shook them. "Where the fuck have you been Tyler? Holy shit!" He said looking at the car. "Is that your girl? Is that a kid?" He asked. He looked over at Tyler who smiled proudly. "We have to catch up," He said.
Wanda got frustrated and got out of the car.
"Tyler, who is this?" She asked. "This is my best friend since I was 10! Jon, meet Wanda, my wife," Tyler said. Jon put out his hand and shook Wanda's.
"Pleasure to meet you," Jon said. "Think we could catch up?" Jon asked. "It's up to Wanda," Tyler said. 'Wipped,' Jon thought. "I don't see why not, it is everyone's vacation," She said with encouragement.
"C'mon, I'll take you to Jimmy's," Jon said. "Jimmy is still in business?" Tyler asked. "Course'," Jon replied. "Is he still... involved?" Tyler asked. "Uhh, yea," Jon said. "I've got my family with me man, can you think of a place a little more child friendly?" Tyler asked. Jon nodded understandingly.
"Oh-oh! We can go to this nice place I know in Delta," Jimmy said. "Delta? Isn't that like a 45 minute drive?" Avatar asked. "But it is worth it," He replied. "Alright, you've convinced me," Tyler said smiling.
45 minutes later-
"So, were did you two meet?" He asked as they sat down in the busy restaurant. "Bayville," Tyler and Wanda said together. "That is...?" He implied. "New York State," Tyler said casually. "New Yo... what the hell? How did you get all the way out their man?" He asked. "Listen, Jon, it's a very complicated story, lets just say Wanda and I have been very happy since we got together," He said.
"Alright man, so what are you into now?" He asked. "Employment? I work for a professor at an institute, so does Wanda," He explained. Jon gave him a blank stare. "You really have turned it around, man," Jon said. "Yea," Tyler said rubbing the back of his head.
"I mean, five years ago, you dealt drugs, and kicked the sh- crap out of people so they would pay their debts," He said looking shocked. "Did your mom's death really... did it do all that?" He asked. "It started it," Wanda cut in. "But this is just amazing," Jon said.
"What have you been up to Jon?" He asked. "I've gotten involved with some... uhh, shady people to be honest man," Jon said. "I envy you man, you've really turned it around, I'm stuck, sorry to say," He said looking disappointed. "I didn't turn it entirely around, I was forced to," Tyler said.
"Yea, but still, your lucky Tyler, and you Miss Klimov, your lucky too, because you two have a lot, don't give it up eh?" Jon said. "Thank you Jon," Wanda said. "Well, we better be going, if you need anything come by Jon," Tyler said and stood up. Wanda picked up Erica and the pair left.
Unknown Location in Central Asia-
Magneto levitated his mug to himself and sipped his coffee.
Lance and John walked in together. "DJ was wondering if we were going to give him any support in Russia tomorrow," Pyro said. "It will depend, if he finds the targets, yes, if he doesn't, no," Eric said.
"C'mon mate, he's having trouble up their, just because you made him learn the language, doesn't mean he knows the area," Pyro stated. "Are you challenging my orders Pyro?" He asked. "No sir," St. John said.
"Well, what about Pixie in Boston?" Lance asked. "I'll send Fred to assist her Mr. Alvers," Magneto said. "Alright," Lance said.
"Sir, we also have reports the X-men were attacks two weeks ago," Lance said. "Casualties?" He asked. "None, but we know an old friend of ours was with them," Lance said.
"Hmm?" Magneto made for him to continue. "Adam Akimov was sprung from the camp they blew," Lance said. "Well, I wonder if Selene will try to reacquire him," Magneto said. "You may leave now," Magneto said. The two nodded and left.
"Pietro, get in here, I want you to do something for me," Magneto said.
South America, Nova Roma-
Janos entered Selene's temple with his normal cocky strut. "Ah, Rictor, just who I wanted to see," She said smiling.
"You wanted to see me boss?" Janos asked. "Yes, I want to know how the recruitment has gone," She said. "Well, it's hard to explain," He responded.
"Answer, or I'll have you and Angelica wish you were as dead as Void," She hissed. "Right, we found some potential subjects, but it took some time," He replied. "I wish I had some more competent members in my team, since Madelyn and Adam's exit, I must admit your abilities have been disappointing," She said. "Sorry boss, I'll try harder," Janos replied.
"Sorry does not cut it; I'll have Angelica looking for your replacement if you continue to fail me!" She hissed. In the last 8 engagements with the X- men, Janos had failed to lead the Void Stalkers to victory.
"Yes Selene," He said and exited.
Selene growled, she needed new blood, her team was no longer able to efficiently take her interest, and she grew tired of having to make alliances with Sinister to be able to protect or gain any form of resources.
Poland, European Union-
Sinister glared at Amara as she held her daughter. "Jason, I suggest you keep you're... 'wife' from having any other outbursts," Sinister said angrily.
"Amara, you know you can't see Derek until you behave," Jason said. "I want to see my son," Amara said plainly. "And you will, once Elisa is finished being weaned," Jason said calmly.
Amara despised them, the Essex clan if you would. She wanted to do anything to prevent her children from becoming like those monsters, but she knew it was a false hope for them.
Sinister walked towards is Marauders and saw Harpoon playing around with Scalp Hunter. "Everyone," He declared. All of them looked at him. "Today is a grand day indeed, today is the day my grandson joins your ranks," He said smiling.
"Uhh, boss, isn't he like four years old?" Harpoon asked. "Oh, he is, but he is fully grown and educated," He said smiling. Jason crossed his arms and looked proud as a hiss was heard behind them.
The ground all looked at the incoming 'man' if you would.
He stood about 6'4 and was built with muscle. His skin was mixed on his body, on the back of his arms, his back, and the back of his legs, he had thick red scales, which thinned out almost into skin on his 'underbelly', and was colored more of a tan-yellow. His eyes were catlike and he had a very Essex look about him. He had short black hair and two large wings coming from his back. He growled and his fangs showed through. He raised one of his clawed red hands as well.
"Everyone, this is my recently X-gene awakened grandson, Victor Derek Essex, or as you will now know him, Hellkite," Nathaniel said with a large grin. Jason and Derek then followed with a similar grin as Jason brushed hair behind his ear.
The entire Marauder's froze at this new site.
Amara held her daughter close and whispered words of hope in her ear.
The Mansion-
Adam rolled off of the bed. "Mr. Akimov, you are in no condition to leave this room," Beast said looking annoyed. "Try and stop me," Adam replied and weakly left the Infirmary.
Los Angeles, the Worthington Manor-
Madelyn shook her head at Warren. "Warren, I told you about the other women, I warned you," She spat. "There is no other women Madelyn," He said putting his hands up. "No other women? Your mouth speaks differently then your mind then!" She screamed. "I-I'm sorry Maddy, I was drunk, it was a meeting, the other executives invited her, things got out of hand," He said.
"You KNEW DAMN WELL WHAT YOU WERE DOING!" She screamed and telekinetically threw a couch at him. "You'll wake Isaac!" Warren shouted. Madelyn immediately stopped and looked overwhelmed by sadness.
"Besides," He muttered. "I can to tell you Jean phoned," He continued in a low tone and left. "I'm going out," He said before leaving. She already knew he was leaving for his newer interest.
The relationship had been too hard to maintain, both were too different, but kept together because she needed someone to help her. She hated to admit it but she was weak, and Warren came into her life just at the time when she was down, and needed help. She loved him for that, and she hated him for how he let their relationship fall apart. He quickly gave up when it got tough. They now spent almost all their time apart, him at work or business meetings, or business trips, and her with their son.
She walked over to the phone and composed herself. She was now ill with how he had decided to cheat on her on his last 'meeting'. She picked up the phone and dialed the institute.
"Xavier institute, Scott speaking," Scott said. "Scott, its me," She said. "Jean?" He replied. "No, Madelyn," She said. "OH! Jean said she had a good time, how are you?" He asked. "I need to talk with Jean," Madelyn said. "Oh, alright," Scott said and went to get Jean.
Jean and Madelyn had become incredibly close over the last five years, Madelyn was probably closer to Jean then anyone. They had even met Jean's parents... who were technically Madelyn's. The Grey's had been very accommodating to her, and Madelyn had all of Jean's memories. They had accepted her as the Jean they raised, because really, she was.
"Hello?" Jean asked. "Warren's been cheating," Madelyn said in a cracked up voice. "I'm so sorry, Maddy," Jean said with sadness. "I don't know what to do, I just needed to talk with someone," Madelyn said. "Anything you want to talk about Madelyn, just tell me how you found out," She said.
"Warren went to a business party last night, and was gone all night, I read his mind and... and I found it," She said almost crying. "I saw it through his own eyes as he made love to that woman," She sobbed. "Oh my god," Jean said. "Madelyn, you don't need to put up with this," Jean then added. "I know, but I don't want to lose Isaac, I know he'll get custody," She said with a choked voice.
"I knew our relationship was struggling, but I never thought he'd just give up," She continued. "Maddy, you have to move on," Jean said. "I did, and a new horribly event happened just like the last one! When Adam died everything fell apart. Then Warren came into my life, he was good to me, better then Adam, but then after we were married and had Isaac, he virtually abandoned me and went on his own adventures!" She said. "Madelyn, I don't think I should tell you this in your state, but... I found out when I got home from L.A. that..." Jean had trouble finishing the sentence.
"Is it something about Scott?" Madelyn almost dried her own tears immediately, hell hath no wrath like Madelyn Prior if Scott decided to cheat on Jean, that would be the last straw. "No Maddy, we found him," She said. "Found Scott? Was he lost?" Madelyn asked. "Adam, X23 lead a team and found him in a concentration camp," Jean said.
Madelyn gulped and nodded slowly. "Where is he?" She asked calmly. "At the institute," Jean explained. Madelyn nodded, still in shock. "Can I speak with him?" She asked. "Uh, he might not be in the best of moods right now," Jean warned. "Can you tell him to call me? Please?" She asked. "I will Maddy, I promise," Jean said. "Bye," They said in unison.
"So that is it?" Warren asked. Madelyn turned around to see Warren.
"I came home to tell you, I don't think it will work out," He explained. "Warren," Madelyn started. "It's not your fault, its might fault," He said cutting her off. "I shouldn't have put you in this situation, and honestly, we shouldn't have started to date," He explained.
Madelyn's mind raced for a response before he continued, but to no avail. "I want you packed and out of my home in three days," Warren explained. "Th- three days?!" She screamed. "Madelyn, you need people who care about you around you, and that is the institute," Warren said.
"What about Isaac," She demanded. "Madelyn, I can provide for him much more, you know that," He started. She immediately saw into his mind. He wasn't lying, he wanted Isaac to have the best. Madelyn accepted defeat and nodded sadly.
"We will work out when you see him later," Warren explained.
He then turned and left. He felt horrible, but now, he was looking out for his son's interests over his own.
================================================
Well, that's the renewed chapter. I know it focuses on Adam a little too much this chapter, but honestly, he was a main character and his return is something fairly large still, his spotlight will fade to that or not being one of the main centered events. I'm hoping to have a great deal of focus on 5 characters in this story.
Jason Essex, Adam Akimov, Cyclops, Iceman, Avatar.
However, I want it to be made clear that I want to leave room for all characters to get at least some piece of the show, and hell, that's why this story was so long before, because I try not to forget people.
But I'm just letting that be a forewarning. Also I might add new 'main' characters later, depending on how the teams turn out.
Adios Amigos

My oh my my my, it has been a long time hasn't it everyone? I'm just glad I finally worked up the balls to take on the huge task of finishing this story, the Alliance story will most likely not be finished however, I made that universe too broad to finish within a year, let alone now.
One thing I would like to say is that I really do thank my loyal viewers from over the year now, I hope that the new chapter will be to your expectations.
Alas, this will not be a Chapter for the Brotherhood, I am going to have to get the X-men team rolling again, and set who is going to be the current villains, I am excited with some ideas so far however.
Now, some of the OCs from the other story may not appear again, and I apologize if they don't, but I hope for many of them to be cameos and what not. Remember, this story takes place five years after A Dark Future, I do hope to bring some back, but others will be cameos and only briefly involved.
I do intend to E-mail everyone who reviewed A Dark Future and the few brief chapters of this one.
But for those who are just reading this now, I must tell you, there is a story before this one. Click on my Name, and see my previous stories, you will see A Dark Future, the prequel story. That story leads to this one, and I must admit, is one of the stories I have enjoyed writing the most over the last year and a half, because of the input from other people, and just how successful the OCs were, and how it focused on Cannon Characters to a great extent, which I have always had a problem doing in my stories, so I am very proud of it.
A Brighter Tomorrow Chapter 3- New Occurrences
Adam woke groggily and groaned. "My body feels broken," He muttered. "It is," Beast said walking over to him. "Huh?" Adam then looked down to see the bandages.
"Shit," He muttered. "The others have been talking about how you have a knack for hurting yourself in battle," Beast chuckled. "I fight to win, as long as I win, life or death means nothing," Adam said emotionlessly. "My, quiet the soldier," Beast said and examined Adam.
Adam then gulped. "I have to know something," He said looking at the ceiling. "What might that be Mr. Akimov?" Beast asked. "Madelyn, what happened to her?" He asked in a mournful voice.

"Everything's going to be fine, we'll fix whatever problem it is," He said trying to sooth her. "I don't want to kill it!" She said continuing to cry. "Kill what?" He asked. She finally stopped crying for a moment. "I'm pregnant," She admitted. Bobby's world froze.
Wolverine walked into Charles' office and sat down. "I think I may have discovered the origin of the attack," He said. Logan listened carefully. "I called you here because from what I've gathered so far, the most reasonable assumption is that Hydra was behind it," He explained. "Hydra?" Logan asked.
"Yes, the group that created X23," Charles explained. "We only know their motive involved eliminating X23, you, and possibly the team," Charles said. "Think they'll strike again?" Logan asked. "I'm not sure," Charles replied. "But the next time, we will be more prepared,"
Cyclops shot down another sentinel in annoyance, Bobby had yet to return. He finished the last Sentinel and ended the simulation. "This is just ridiculous," He growled and exited the room, it had been over an hour.
X23 walked towards the Infirmary and saw Hank on the way.
"How is he?" She asked. "Ah, another visitor, has cupids arrow struck the?" Beast said playfully and Terra blushed slightly. "He's woken up, but... he got some very hard news, he might not be in the best mood," Beast said.
X23 nodded and was about to enter the infirmary when Logan grabbed her shoulder. "What?" She asked rudely. "We know who did the attack," Logan said. 'Two birds with one stone, keep her away from this worthless carcass, and inform her of the danger... I never realized how sneaky you become when you're a parent...' He thought.
"Who?" She asked. "Hydra," Logan said. Immediately Terra headed for Xavier's. Logan looked on as she left and entered the infirmary.
"Wolverine,"
Scott walked over to Drake's room and pounded on the door. "We're kinda busy right now!" Came muffled through the door. "You left me to DIE in the Danger Room Drake! You better have not left for a quicky or I'll kill you!" Scott shouted.
The door blew off the hinges as a massive bolt of ice hit it and knocked Scott over.
"We're having a crisis right now you bastard!" Bobby said grabbing Scott by the collar as he pulled him to his feet. "Now I'm sorry, but this is important, and I'm not fucking right now," Bobby said looking annoyed. Scott nodded and Bobby let go and walked back inside his room.
"This isn't supposed to happen to me," Emma said. "Emma, unexpected things happen in life, you can't plan everything," Bobby said. "I was careless!" She spat. He sighed and rubbed his eyes. "Emma, I'm not angry, I'm happy, really!" Bobby said putting a smile on.
"Y-you are?" She asked. "Read my mind to prove it, if I'm not happy, I'm sure you'll kill me," He said with a smile. "But we'll be terrible parents," She said sadly. "We don't know that do we?" He asked.
"Bobby, since I met you, whenever any idea of children came into your mind, you thought of how horrid of a parent you would be, and I know for a fact I wouldn't be a good parent, in fact, right now, you are thinking desperately on how you can change yourself to be a good parent, instead of the horrid one you see yourself as," She said. 'DAMN!' Bobby thought.
"You got me," Bobby said. "But I'm still happy," He said and pulled her into an embrace and kissed her passionately. He then broke the kiss after 3 moments "Everything will work out," He said. 'I'm going to be a father...' It really hit him, his heart rate started to increase and he smiled dumbly.
Scott heard the entire affair and felt like a complete asshole.
Wolverine glared at Adam who glared back. "What do you want?" Adam demanded. "I'm here for two reasons," He said. "First, I want to thank you for saving Terra," He said. "And next, I'm here to tell you to stay away from her," Wolverine said. "This again? Logan please, you must be getting old, you keep going on about the same things," Adam said smirking.
"You are a plague Akimov, I know it, everything you touch burns away and decays, and I won't let that happen to my daughter," He said crossing his arms. "I don't even want you here, every team you've joined has had major problems during and after you left," He added.
Adam lowered his head and then raised it back to Logan's gaze. "I'll leave when I want to leave old man," He said dangerously. "And as soon as I am healed, you'll see the just how powerful the perfect weapon is," He growled. "You can't touch me Akimov, you're not perfect and you know it, if it wasn't for Selene's pity, you'd be nothing but a body," Logan spat.
Energy rippled up Adam's body as he twitched with rage. "I hate you more then anything Mr. Howlett, that's what that freak called you, and I hate you for a good reason, you condemned me to working for Selene," He snarled. "Do not turn your back on me Logan, this is the only warning you will get, we have no common enemy this time, and the first chance I get, will be your death," He said with hate seething off every word.
"And if you try anything to harm anyone here, I'll gut you like a fish, bub," Logan said and walked out.
London England-
Jacen walked with Kitty as they saw Big Ben. "It's really amazing isn't it, seeing it in person," Kitty said breathlessly.
"I suppose, but I've seen it before," He said shrugging. The pair continued on their way, enjoying their holiday as much as they could knowing they would be leaving for home in five days.
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada-
Wanda looked at the city as Tyler drove with a broad smile on his face. Erica was in a baby seat in the back.
"This is where you grew up?" She asked. "Yes," He said.
"It's very nice," Wanda said. "I know, but this is the better part of the city, right now we're around Canada Place," He said. "I'm hoping to take you two to the interior before we leave, it's beautiful," He said.
"Tyler," Wanda asked as they drove past a large building. "Yes?" He asked with a smile on his face. "Do you think you'll go to hell?" She asked. He pulled over and sat a moment. "I don't know," He finally said. "I hadn't thought much on anything like that, I try not to," He said. "I know, it's just I've been thinking a lot and..." She was cut off.
"It doesn't matter Wanda, when I go to whatever afterlife there is, I'll find out," He said. "Now, can we enjoy our vacation?" He asked with a large smile. She smiled back and nodded, before they could started the car Tyler saw someone in front of his car and he slapped his hand on the hood.
Tyler blinked and saw who it was. He opened the door and quickly got out. "Jonathan you son of a bitch!" He said walking out and the two slapped their hands together and shook them. "Where the fuck have you been Tyler? Holy shit!" He said looking at the car. "Is that your girl? Is that a kid?" He asked. He looked over at Tyler who smiled proudly. "We have to catch up," He said.
Wanda got frustrated and got out of the car.
"Tyler, who is this?" She asked. "This is my best friend since I was 10! Jon, meet Wanda, my wife," Tyler said. Jon put out his hand and shook Wanda's.
"Pleasure to meet you," Jon said. "Think we could catch up?" Jon asked. "It's up to Wanda," Tyler said. 'Wipped,' Jon thought. "I don't see why not, it is everyone's vacation," She said with encouragement.
"C'mon, I'll take you to Jimmy's," Jon said. "Jimmy is still in business?" Tyler asked. "Course'," Jon replied. "Is he still... involved?" Tyler asked. "Uhh, yea," Jon said. "I've got my family with me man, can you think of a place a little more child friendly?" Tyler asked. Jon nodded understandingly.
"Oh-oh! We can go to this nice place I know in Delta," Jimmy said. "Delta? Isn't that like a 45 minute drive?" Avatar asked. "But it is worth it," He replied. "Alright, you've convinced me," Tyler said smiling.
45 minutes later-
"So, were did you two meet?" He asked as they sat down in the busy restaurant. "Bayville," Tyler and Wanda said together. "That is...?" He implied. "New York State," Tyler said casually. "New Yo... what the hell? How did you get all the way out their man?" He asked. "Listen, Jon, it's a very complicated story, lets just say Wanda and I have been very happy since we got together," He said.
"Alright man, so what are you into now?" He asked. "Employment? I work for a professor at an institute, so does Wanda," He explained. Jon gave him a blank stare. "You really have turned it around, man," Jon said. "Yea," Tyler said rubbing the back of his head.
"I mean, five years ago, you dealt drugs, and kicked the sh- crap out of people so they would pay their debts," He said looking shocked. "Did your mom's death really... did it do all that?" He asked. "It started it," Wanda cut in. "But this is just amazing," Jon said.
"What have you been up to Jon?" He asked. "I've gotten involved with some... uhh, shady people to be honest man," Jon said. "I envy you man, you've really turned it around, I'm stuck, sorry to say," He said looking disappointed. "I didn't turn it entirely around, I was forced to," Tyler said.
"Yea, but still, your lucky Tyler, and you Miss Klimov, your lucky too, because you two have a lot, don't give it up eh?" Jon said. "Thank you Jon," Wanda said. "Well, we better be going, if you need anything come by Jon," Tyler said and stood up. Wanda picked up Erica and the pair left.
Unknown Location in Central Asia-
Magneto levitated his mug to himself and sipped his coffee.
Lance and John walked in together. "DJ was wondering if we were going to give him any support in Russia tomorrow," Pyro said. "It will depend, if he finds the targets, yes, if he doesn't, no," Eric said.
"C'mon mate, he's having trouble up their, just because you made him learn the language, doesn't mean he knows the area," Pyro stated. "Are you challenging my orders Pyro?" He asked. "No sir," St. John said.
"Well, what about Pixie in Boston?" Lance asked. "I'll send Fred to assist her Mr. Alvers," Magneto said. "Alright," Lance said.
"Sir, we also have reports the X-men were attacks two weeks ago," Lance said. "Casualties?" He asked. "None, but we know an old friend of ours was with them," Lance said.
"Hmm?" Magneto made for him to continue. "Adam Akimov was sprung from the camp they blew," Lance said. "Well, I wonder if Selene will try to reacquire him," Magneto said. "You may leave now," Magneto said. The two nodded and left.
"Pietro, get in here, I want you to do something for me," Magneto said.
South America, Nova Roma-
Janos entered Selene's temple with his normal cocky strut. "Ah, Rictor, just who I wanted to see," She said smiling.
"You wanted to see me boss?" Janos asked. "Yes, I want to know how the recruitment has gone," She said. "Well, it's hard to explain," He responded.
"Answer, or I'll have you and Angelica wish you were as dead as Void," She hissed. "Right, we found some potential subjects, but it took some time," He replied. "I wish I had some more competent members in my team, since Madelyn and Adam's exit, I must admit your abilities have been disappointing," She said. "Sorry boss, I'll try harder," Janos replied.
"Sorry does not cut it; I'll have Angelica looking for your replacement if you continue to fail me!" She hissed. In the last 8 engagements with the X- men, Janos had failed to lead the Void Stalkers to victory.
"Yes Selene," He said and exited.
Selene growled, she needed new blood, her team was no longer able to efficiently take her interest, and she grew tired of having to make alliances with Sinister to be able to protect or gain any form of resources.
Poland, European Union-
Sinister glared at Amara as she held her daughter. "Jason, I suggest you keep you're... 'wife' from having any other outbursts," Sinister said angrily.
"Amara, you know you can't see Derek until you behave," Jason said. "I want to see my son," Amara said plainly. "And you will, once Elisa is finished being weaned," Jason said calmly.
Amara despised them, the Essex clan if you would. She wanted to do anything to prevent her children from becoming like those monsters, but she knew it was a false hope for them.
Sinister walked towards is Marauders and saw Harpoon playing around with Scalp Hunter. "Everyone," He declared. All of them looked at him. "Today is a grand day indeed, today is the day my grandson joins your ranks," He said smiling.
"Uhh, boss, isn't he like four years old?" Harpoon asked. "Oh, he is, but he is fully grown and educated," He said smiling. Jason crossed his arms and looked proud as a hiss was heard behind them.
The ground all looked at the incoming 'man' if you would.
He stood about 6'4 and was built with muscle. His skin was mixed on his body, on the back of his arms, his back, and the back of his legs, he had thick red scales, which thinned out almost into skin on his 'underbelly', and was colored more of a tan-yellow. His eyes were catlike and he had a very Essex look about him. He had short black hair and two large wings coming from his back. He growled and his fangs showed through. He raised one of his clawed red hands as well.
"Everyone, this is my recently X-gene awakened grandson, Victor Derek Essex, or as you will now know him, Hellkite," Nathaniel said with a large grin. Jason and Derek then followed with a similar grin as Jason brushed hair behind his ear.
The entire Marauder's froze at this new site.
Amara held her daughter close and whispered words of hope in her ear.
The Mansion-
Adam rolled off of the bed. "Mr. Akimov, you are in no condition to leave this room," Beast said looking annoyed. "Try and stop me," Adam replied and weakly left the Infirmary.
Los Angeles, the Worthington Manor-
Madelyn shook her head at Warren. "Warren, I told you about the other women, I warned you," She spat. "There is no other women Madelyn," He said putting his hands up. "No other women? Your mouth speaks differently then your mind then!" She screamed. "I-I'm sorry Maddy, I was drunk, it was a meeting, the other executives invited her, things got out of hand," He said.
"You KNEW DAMN WELL WHAT YOU WERE DOING!" She screamed and telekinetically threw a couch at him. "You'll wake Isaac!" Warren shouted. Madelyn immediately stopped and looked overwhelmed by sadness.
"Besides," He muttered. "I can to tell you Jean phoned," He continued in a low tone and left. "I'm going out," He said before leaving. She already knew he was leaving for his newer interest.
The relationship had been too hard to maintain, both were too different, but kept together because she needed someone to help her. She hated to admit it but she was weak, and Warren came into her life just at the time when she was down, and needed help. She loved him for that, and she hated him for how he let their relationship fall apart. He quickly gave up when it got tough. They now spent almost all their time apart, him at work or business meetings, or business trips, and her with their son.
She walked over to the phone and composed herself. She was now ill with how he had decided to cheat on her on his last 'meeting'. She picked up the phone and dialed the institute.
"Xavier institute, Scott speaking," Scott said. "Scott, its me," She said. "Jean?" He replied. "No, Madelyn," She said. "OH! Jean said she had a good time, how are you?" He asked. "I need to talk with Jean," Madelyn said. "Oh, alright," Scott said and went to get Jean.
Jean and Madelyn had become incredibly close over the last five years, Madelyn was probably closer to Jean then anyone. They had even met Jean's parents... who were technically Madelyn's. The Grey's had been very accommodating to her, and Madelyn had all of Jean's memories. They had accepted her as the Jean they raised, because really, she was.
"Hello?" Jean asked. "Warren's been cheating," Madelyn said in a cracked up voice. "I'm so sorry, Maddy," Jean said with sadness. "I don't know what to do, I just needed to talk with someone," Madelyn said. "Anything you want to talk about Madelyn, just tell me how you found out," She said.
"Warren went to a business party last night, and was gone all night, I read his mind and... and I found it," She said almost crying. "I saw it through his own eyes as he made love to that woman," She sobbed. "Oh my god," Jean said. "Madelyn, you don't need to put up with this," Jean then added. "I know, but I don't want to lose Isaac, I know he'll get custody," She said with a choked voice.
"I knew our relationship was struggling, but I never thought he'd just give up," She continued. "Maddy, you have to move on," Jean said. "I did, and a new horribly event happened just like the last one! When Adam died everything fell apart. Then Warren came into my life, he was good to me, better then Adam, but then after we were married and had Isaac, he virtually abandoned me and went on his own adventures!" She said. "Madelyn, I don't think I should tell you this in your state, but... I found out when I got home from L.A. that..." Jean had trouble finishing the sentence.
"Is it something about Scott?" Madelyn almost dried her own tears immediately, hell hath no wrath like Madelyn Prior if Scott decided to cheat on Jean, that would be the last straw. "No Maddy, we found him," She said. "Found Scott? Was he lost?" Madelyn asked. "Adam, X23 lead a team and found him in a concentration camp," Jean said.
Madelyn gulped and nodded slowly. "Where is he?" She asked calmly. "At the institute," Jean explained. Madelyn nodded, still in shock. "Can I speak with him?" She asked. "Uh, he might not be in the best of moods right now," Jean warned. "Can you tell him to call me? Please?" She asked. "I will Maddy, I promise," Jean said. "Bye," They said in unison.
"So that is it?" Warren asked. Madelyn turned around to see Warren.
"I came home to tell you, I don't think it will work out," He explained. "Warren," Madelyn started. "It's not your fault, its might fault," He said cutting her off. "I shouldn't have put you in this situation, and honestly, we shouldn't have started to date," He explained.
Madelyn's mind raced for a response before he continued, but to no avail. "I want you packed and out of my home in three days," Warren explained. "Th- three days?!" She screamed. "Madelyn, you need people who care about you around you, and that is the institute," Warren said.
"What about Isaac," She demanded. "Madelyn, I can provide for him much more, you know that," He started. She immediately saw into his mind. He wasn't lying, he wanted Isaac to have the best. Madelyn accepted defeat and nodded sadly.
"We will work out when you see him later," Warren explained.
He then turned and left. He felt horrible, but now, he was looking out for his son's interests over his own.
================================================
Well, that's the renewed chapter. I know it focuses on Adam a little too much this chapter, but honestly, he was a main character and his return is something fairly large still, his spotlight will fade to that or not being one of the main centered events. I'm hoping to have a great deal of focus on 5 characters in this story.
Jason Essex, Adam Akimov, Cyclops, Iceman, Avatar.
However, I want it to be made clear that I want to leave room for all characters to get at least some piece of the show, and hell, that's why this story was so long before, because I try not to forget people.
But I'm just letting that be a forewarning. Also I might add new 'main' characters later, depending on how the teams turn out.
Adios Amigos
