Hello everyone!
Isn't this a wonderful story?
The drama, action, romance, irritating relationship trouble.....
It makes me happy in my sad, withered little phantom of a heart.
But seriously, Ish-
I did some digging, and discovered what an Ish could possibly be:
1. Ish-bosheth, in the Bible was the son of Saul. Another spelling is
Esh-baal. This would make "Ish" the chief diety of Canaan.
2. ISH is the acyronym for Isolated Systolic Hypertension, a
cardiovascular defect of some ilk.
3. Ish is also, in case you failed to make this connection, the word
"wish" without the 'W'. A W is 1/4th of the word wish, and one and a half
(from your name Ishandahalf) is 1/2 of the classic number of wishes
alotted (3). Therefore by multiplying 1/4 1/2, we end up with 1/8
(.125). Remember that. Now returning to 3 wishes, the usual number
allotted. Now double it. You get the number 6. But what we care about is
the equation of 33=6 with the non-numeric symbols removed (i.e. the plus
and the equals signs) the resulting number is 336. If we multiply .125
(The value of "ish) by 336 (the average value of wishes), you get 42. 42
is, of course, an incredibly important number is symbiology, it being the
number of months the profanation of the "holy city" was to last
(Revelation 11:2), and the number of lines of Hebrew on each column of the
Jewish Torah. However, 42's significance is not limited to religious
texts. 42 is the natural vibration frequency of human DNA. It's also 4.2
light years from our solar syst
em to the nearest star. I'm tires of writing sentences, so I'm making a
list:
4.2 degrees Celsius= the temp water is most dense at.
4.2 million= the latest eveolutionary "missing link is 4.2 million years
old.
42= The integer part of the square root of proton mass divided by electron
mass.
42= the atomic number of the element Molybdenum.
By assigning numeric value to the leters of BIG BANG (based on their
position in the alphabet. i.e. A=1, B=2, and so on), when added the
letters add up to be 42.
42 degrees Celsius is the maximum temperature a human can survide in case
of disease.
Two physical constraints of the universe are the speed of light and the
the diameter of a proton. It takes light 10 to the negetive 42nd power to
cross the diameter of a proton.
Ish, are you an animal person?
Then perhaps this will intrest you. All dogs have a total of 42 teeth over
their lifetimes. Also, the greatest recorded kangaroo jump distance is
42ft.
((123)-45)6=42
Finally, The effiency of human respiration is 42%.
Oh dear.
I seem to have strayed a bit from by original point, which is the third
possible meaning of Ish.
One Ishandahalf (along with some mathematics and slightly odd logic) is
equal to perfection, the meaning of life, and the universe.

Flattering, nay?

For those of you who want to know: M is one of my bestest friends, he's smart, and has way too much time on his hands to find out that Jesus was most likely the first posesser of the Phoenix Force, and Hudini probably could turn himself into jelly, and find out that my mutant power is claustrum inasnum. Which means mad pen or insane pen because I write mad things. G-Men!



Soon, all the telepaths had gathered in the hospital wing, with Hank, Wanda and John.

"I'm going to have to ask you two to leave," Xavier said, looking at Wanda and John. "This is a very delicate operation and--"

"OPERATION!?!" John yelled loudly. "No one said anything about cutting up Roguey! I won't let them do it I tell you! I won't let you!" John then ran to Rogue's bed-side and grabbed her in a hug. Well, as best a hug he could do without getting on top of her, or with her lying in a bed un-conscious. Xavier turned to Wanda.

"Ms. Maximoff, if you would be so kind?" Wanda nodded and walked over to John, putting a comforting arm on his shoulder.

"Johnnypoo," Wanda began, but John turned to face her, his face set.

"Don't call me that," His voice was distant, and rather creepy.

"John, no one's going to cut Rogue open. They're just going to go rage a telepathic war against Miss Marvel, who's taken over Rogue's mind and body, am I right?" She looked to Hank for validation. He nodded, and Wanda continued. "And if we're in here, distracting them, it'll be a lot harder and it'll give Danvers the upper hand. And if they don't do this, Rogue's body could become host to Danvers. She's weaking as we speak, John, if you love me, you'll leave with me," Wanda's voice was cracking at the end of it. Tears that hadn't been cried since she was nine threatened to spill.

"You two can stay here in the spare bedroom until Rogue's condition stabilizes," Xavier said, turning to them. "I'm sure any one of the residents here won't mind showing you."

"Thank you," Wanda said, turning back to John. "So?"

John sighed heavily. "Let's go.... Pookie," He used the nickname that Wanda hated. But at this time, it only made her smile weakly as John wrapped his arms around her waist and they walked together out of the hospital wing.

"What a cute couple," Esme marveled to Celeste.

"They're perfect for each other!" Mindee agreed.

"Yeah, both psychos," Betsy said bitterly, quite annoyed about being here in the first place.

"Ms. Braddock, I know you have some issues with Rogue, but we need you to put those aside for now and help us, can you do that?" Xavier turned to Betsy.

"Yes, I can do that," she replied.

"Good, now, if you're all ready, we can begin."

A butterfly, a Siamese cat, five cuckoos, a phoenix, an elephant, and a bald eagle stood in a line, those who hadn't been there before felt the waves of memories rock against them.

Jean, you've been here the most recently, show us the way, the eagle said, turning to the phoenix.

Yes, but we've got to be quiet, Danvers has her entity on the guard, she replined.

The cat turned to the cuckoos, You five, this is your first big mission, we're going to need all of you to make this work. I know you're still tired from earlier, but we need your powers now more then ever. I'm counting on you.

No problem, the five voices of the cuckoos chorused, echoing oddly in the mindscape.

Right, now, follow me, with that, Jean's phoenix took off, the others soaring or running behind. They passed the caged animals, each looking in marvel at their caged entity, and the others, trying to figure out which one was whose, and soon came to where Jean had heard Rogue's cries. She didn't here them now.

Uhoh, Professor...Jean said nervously.

Yes? the eagle cocked its head towards her.

I don't here her.

Shhh! I do ,the cat purred.

Report, the elephant said.

Her cries are soft, muffled. She may be close to giving up. We've got to hurry if we're going to save her.

CRACK! The sting of a whip was heard, and the cries became more audible.

I'll go check what's a head, it'll be easiest for me ,the butterfly said, flying higher, over the cages towards where the cries were coming from. The others waited with battered breath until the butterfly re-appeared. It's Danvers over there all right. Rogue really does look like she's going to give up. We have to get rid of the cougar first, or at least put it out of commission before we go up against Danvers. She doesn't have her powers on the mindscape, and neither do we.

That's good actually, one of the cuckoos said.

what do you mean, Phoebee,the eagle turned to her.

I mean, if she doesn't have her powers, that mean's she's vulnerable. And we can beat her.

I do believe I've raised a genius, the cat said, smirking.

Now, let's go, Sage, you are the field leader here. What's our plan of attack? the phoenix asked.

We split up, Emma, take three of the cuckoos, and Betsy and go from the east end. Me, Jean, the other two cuckoos and Charles' attack from the west. Go for her cougar.

Right, the phoenix nodded as the cat, three of the cuckoos and the butterfly went towards the east, and the elephant, phoenix, two of the cuckoos, and eagle went west.

Anyone who would have entered the hospital wing at that time would have seen a strange sight. 10 telepaths where all sitting on chairs near Rogue's bed, all of them comatose, or nearly. Hank hovered over them like a hawk, alternating by drinking non-decaf coffee, and taking a bite of a Twinkie. A sure sign that he was nervous.

"God, I hope they're all right," He said aloud, looking over at them. Sighing, he turned back to his work. He was in the middle of playing Snood.

Outside, Wanda was curled up, head resting on John's lap, asleep. They were both sitting right outside the hospital wing, anxious to see what happened first. Wanda was asleep, and John was playing solitaire on his palm pilot. Don't know how he got it. Absentmindedly he reached down and stroked Wanda's hair.

"God, I love you," He said, "And I'd just kill myself if anything like this happened to you, Wanda. I—I don't have a ring, and I don't care if you're asleep, I just need to get this off my chest, Wanda Django Maximoff, will you marry me?" John said into the empty hall, no one was there to hear him. A perfectly good proposal wasted on thin air and an unconscious girl.

"Yes." John practically jumped up. Who had said that? He looked around wildly. The voice spoke again, "Yes, St. John Aaron Allerdyce, I will marry you." Either John was dreaming this, or Wanda had just woke up in his arms and had heard his proposal. He hoped for the later.

"Wanda?" He asked, looking down at her. She had turned her face right-side-up and was smiling, her eyes brimming with tears.

"I love you too." It wasn't exactly the Spider-Man kiss that we all know, but it was close enough. Wanda in John's lap, and John's lap under Wanda's head. They kissed. They kissed like a couple in love. They kissed like... well... like two young people who were about to get married. And they were.

Ooh! How cute is that? I bet you're all wondering how long I can keep this up for, am I right? Well, I want to try to make fifty chapters. Can you handle me for that long? It'll cover John and Wanda's marriage, and lots of other fun stuff. Don't worry, Romy will be abundant. It'll most likely be presumably-one-sided Romy by our two favorite southerners. But do not fear, for I'm pretty sure, (at the moment,) that Rogue and Remy will get together. But I'm not promising anything. XD.
