Hello everyone, welcome to my own twisted little world! I plan on putting these characters through the mill, making them laugh and cry etc etc! Some may be a little OCC, but I think that's always to be expected in fanfiction. But don't worry! Wolverine and Magneto aren't going to pick flowers together or anything like that. J The title of this fic is tentative, and will probably change. I will be happy to send out an e-mail to you when I've updated if you want, just leave your e-mail address in the review. And so, here it is…the Prologue!

Disclaimer: I own nothing.seriously.nothing!

"Yes Professor, you called?"

"Thank you, Scott, for coming so quickly, please have a seat.

Scott Summers strode into the office and took his favorite chair in the office; a red leather recliner positioned a few feet from professor Charles Xavier's strong oak desk, still standing after various battles. Even after being used to break the falls of students about to collide wit the floor or the wall, it stood.

Xavier smiled to himself at the familiarity of the situation. How many times had he called his team leader into this very office to discuss strategy? The smile vanished as he remembered all those strategies, battles, loses and the far and few in between victories.

Xavier sighed and addressed Scott, "Scott, we have a problem"

Scott Summers immediately switched to Cyclops mode, "What is it professor? Magneto, Skrull?"

"No Scott, it's the IRS"

Scott Summers stared at the professor.

Xavier sighed again "That was a joke Scott, I'm only joking"

"Oh, right

"Well, that's part of the problem, I think my x-men need a break, especially now with a new member on the team. You all need a chance to unwind and familiarize with each other again."

"But we can't leave the mansion unprotected

"I've already thought of that. You will all go in shifts to my cabin in the Pocono's. At this time of year, it should be fairly quiet."

"Fair enough Professor, who do you want in the first group

"Well, yourself and Jean, Betsy, Warren, Logan, Remy, Ororo, Rogue, and our newest member I think. That should be balanced enough."

"Are you sure that's wise professor?"

"I'm assuming you're concerned with how our newest member will cope with …er…his company?"

"Yes professor, maybe instead-"

"No Scott, it wouldn't be fair to leave him behind."

 "Well then-"

 "I'd like to see you try and stop him from going"

 "Then remove the instigator of the probl-"

 "Scott, she can fly, you won't get far."

 "Right, so that's it. Me, Jean, Betsy, Warren, Logan, Remy, Ororo, Rogue, and Joseph."
