********************
Somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean
There's a game life play's…
Makes you think of everything they've ever said you were…
I'd like to take some time…
Clear away everything I planned…
Was it my fault…
Betrayed for the shape that I'm in…
It's not hard to fail…
It's not easy to win…
Did I drink too much, could I disappear…
And there's nothing that's left but wasted years…
There's nothing left but Wasted Years...
There's nothing left but Wasted Years...
If I could change my life…
Be a simple kind of man…
Try to do the best I can…
If I could take the sides…
I'd derail every path I could…
And I'm about to die…
Won't you clear away from me…
Give me strength to fly away…
Was it my fault…
Betrayed for the shape that I'm in…
It's not hard to fail…
It's not easy to win…
Did I drink too much, could I disappear…
And there's nothing that's left but wasted years…
There's nothing left but Wasted Years...
There's nothing left but Wasted Years...
Was it my fault…
Betrayed for the shape that I'm in…
It's not hard to fail…
It's not easy to win…
Did I drink too much, could I disappear…
And there's nothing that's left but wasted years…
Was it my fault? (There's nothing left but wasted years…)
For the shape that I'm in. (There's nothing left but wasted years…)
Did I Drink too much? (There's nothing left but wasted years…)
All those wasted years…(There's nothing left but wasted years…)
Was it my fault? (Betrayed…)
For the shape that I'm in…
It's not hard to fail…
It's not easy to will…
"Warren, what are you doing?" Xavier's voice asked over the intercom of the Blackbird.
"Flying one last time Charles." Warren said with a slight smile. "One last time."

The Hive
"Yes. I'll tell them." Valerie said into the phone. "My sympathies Charles. Good bye." Valerie said as she hung up the phone. "Jesus." She muttered to herself as she fixed her hair and made her way to where X-Factor was lounging around.
"Sup Val, looks like you've seen a Ghost." Pietro said as he and Blob played a game.
"I have some Bad news." Valerie stated. "Angel is dead."
"What?" Lance asked dryly.
"He took the Blackbird out over the ocean and he blew it up."
"Damn." Blob muttered. "Damn…"
"I know this is hard, but…" Valerie began before Toad cut her off.
"Hard?" Toad said in exasperation. "First the Morlocks get massacred, and now Angel Dies? Who's next?" Toad stated. "We're dropping like flies."
"Calm down Todd." Wanda said as she put a hand on his shoulder.
"Man. I thought life was bad when we we're on our own, but damn…" Lance stated in disbelief.
"It's hard. I know." Valerie stated.
"Yea. I think we just need some time alone Val." Pietro said as he walked away.
"Okay." Valerie said as she let X-Factor walk away to do they're own thing.
********************
The gym
"Damn it!" Toad shouted as he crashed to the ground. He tore his goggles off as he sat up. "Computer, voice recognition, Todd Tolensky."
~ Identity confirmed. ~ The monotone voice rang.
"Run battle simulation 56 again, level three difficulty." Toad muttered as he pulled his goggles on. Holographic displays of Sabertooth and the Reavers appeared in front of him. "Let's dance." Toad muttered to himself as he picked up a Bo Staff and twirled it around.
********************
Omega's personal quarters
"Good old Brian Jacques." Betsy muttered as she picked up a book. "You never let me down." Betsy sniffled as she sat in the corner of Mike's room and tried to read.
********************
The Kitchen
"A little bit of butter, and voila!" X said as she flipped a couple of eggs onto a plate. "Just like Freddy taught me." X said somberly to herself as she sat down to eat.
********************
Ramon's Occult Shop
"Hey Wanda." Ramon stated as Wanda walked into the store.
"Hey Ray. Anything new?"
"Same old same old, you?"
"I need some stuff." Wanda said as she handed a list to the shop owner.
"Whoa... Wanda, this stuffs used for a memorial for the dead." Ramon stated in shock.
"I know." Wanda said sadly. "I know."
********************
Joe's pool hall
"Rack' em Mike." Pietro said as he and Mike stood near a pool table in the smoke filled bar.
"Done." Mike said as he pulled the rack off and leaned back as Pietro took his shot. "Nice break." Mike stated.
"I am the greatest." Pietro muttered with a slight smile.
"If you say so." Mike said simply with a smirk as he took his shot.
********************
The Hive, the lab
"Forge, have you taken a look at these schematics?" An assistant asked as he handed a file to Forge.
"I already built this thing three years ago, and it's didn't work." Forge said simply as he looked over the designs.
"Oh. Sorry." The intern said as he walked away.
"No sweat." Forge said simply as he turned back to his work, a tear dripping down his eye. "No sweat."
********************
Rec room
"Next on Springer, Necrophiliac Siamese Twins and the men that they love."
"How on earth did I ever find this entertaining?" Blob muttered to himself as he watched TV. "Wonder what's on C-Span."
********************
Bayville
"I miss him." Kitty said as she sat next to Lance, his arm around her as she held onto him.
"I know Kitty. I know." Lance said as he rubbed her back.
********************
The Hive
"Yes. I'll get someone on it right away." Valerie stated as she hung up the phone. "Just as soon as they're all ready." Valerie muttered as she walked away and closed the door to her office.
********************
Next Time on Brotherhood Evolution: Ground Zero. Avalanche and Blob are sent to Maine to find and capture Trask, but what they encounter will change the fate of all known mutants.
