A metal arm fell to the ground in pieces followed by a loud jolt of energy zooming down towards Jamie. Jubilee yelled to him but he couldn't hear her. The beam was coming straight towards him. Jubilee groaned and run to him. She grabbed Jamie just as the energy beam hit him and threw him to the side.

"Stop the simulation!" Berzerker cried out. He rushed over to where Jubilee and Jamie was.

"What's the matter with you, runt? What were you thinking?" Jubilee yelled at him, "Tell me you didn't see the beam coming straight towards you!"

Jamie pushed her away from him, Well soreeeey! I, just, didn't see it coming."

"It was right there in front of you. Are you sure you're okay?" Berzerker added.

"Yea, I just can't focus today."

"Well, ya better try cause you not being focused means ruining the whole training session and I for one am not…" Jubilee paused, "On second thought, Jamie…"

Berzerker rolled his eyes, "Why can't you get focus?"

Jamie shrugged, "Dunno, maybe it's cause a' those nightmares I've been haven't even sence…"

"Aw, is little Jamie ascared of da big bad bogeyman?" Jubilee teased.

"C'mon! It's not funny!" Jamie yelled. But jubilee and Berzerker just laughed. "C'mon guys! I'm serious! And that weirdo Mesmero is always in 'em and he…"

"Mesmero?" Berzerker interrupted, "That clown? Man Jaime, you really are havin' nightmares!"

"Yea, REALLY scary ones!" Jubilee laughed.

But they're fun and games were quickly interrupted by Xavier and Bobby and the rest of the New Recruits.

"What's going on? Jamie, are you hurt?" Xavier inquired.

"Jamie's havin nightmares bout Mesmero," Jubilee laughed.

"Jubilee!" Jamie blushed.

"No, it's okay. There might be more to it than you think." Xavier began.

Jamie stuck his tongue out to Jubilee.

"In fact, why don't you come with me Jamie?" Xavier said.

Jubilee returned the gesture.

Jamie sighed and followed Xavier outside the Danger Room and into the Study Hall/Library and left the others to finnish the simulation.

"So, Jamie, tell me more about these dreams."

"Well, uh, Mesmero's in them. And he's got a weird Jack in the Box that looks extremely familiar. It's got his face on it and everythin. And he starts turning the knob and picture pops out but I wake up before I can get a good look at it. But I remember seeing the picture at one point and that's what scarred me."

"Do you remember at all what the picture was?"

Jamie shrugged, "Nope, sorry."

"Why don't I have a look inside your mind and see if I can find what ever was on that picture."

"Um, okay. Will it hurt?"

Xavier laughed, "No, of course not."

Xavier leaned forward and placed his hands on the sides of Jamie's forehead.

"Now, I want you to concentrate on your dream."

"Okay..."

Like a flash of lightning, Mesmero's face appeared in Xavier's mind. He slowly turned the knob on the Jack in the Box and the picture jumped out at Xavier. He bit his lip and continued on. The picture was blurry and looked deranged. But it was a picture of Apocalypse. Xavier let go of his grip on Jamie's mind and leaned back in surprise.

"What was it?" He asked eagerly.

"It, was Apocalypse."

Jamie made a face, "What? Why is he in my dream? The only time I've seen him is on TV."

"Well, maybe you never saw him, " Xavier said, emphasizing 'you', "But maybe another Jamie did.'

Jamie starred.

"Tell me, how long have you been having this dream?"

Jamie thought back, "Uh…ever sense Pyro got here, I think. I thought maybe it had something to do with him."

"No, but that is odd." Xavier paused for a moment, "Jamie, why don't you go join the rest of the kids in the Danger Room? If I find anything more out I'll be sure to let you know."

"Okay," Jamie nodded and made his way back in to the Danger Room.

Xavier thought hard but his thoughts were interrupted by a loud scream coming from the girl's dormitories.

Just then, Tabitha came rushing down the hallway, "Professor! Rogue's gone!"

Freak87: I love writing and I write everyday even if it's not something for ff.net. So I update every day.

Scrawler: yeah, I guess I didn't realize I was spelling 'Xavier,' 'Xavior' again. I did that for the previous story with Lhach. I won't do it again!

Nothing much has happened so far but trust me, I've got something BIG planned for the next few chapters. Well, the next ones after the next one! :D Anyhoo… please review!
