I'm so sorry. I really am. But I cannot bring myself to write out the entirety of the next twelve chapters or so as they are meant to be written. Maybe someday but right now. So what I'm going to do is explain what happens, and then feel no guilt writing the romantic vignettes that are all I think I wanted to write in the first place. Here goes.

Sariceia is in love with Kurt, and he with her, and if left to their own devices they'd be very happy. BUT, as always happens in these sorts of things, there are in fact several forces attempting to pull them apart.

As those of you with an aptitude for figuring out obscure plot structures might have guessed, Sari darling is possessed. Gasp. You see, way back when she and Kurt were in the circus together, she was practicing her first trapeze act. She fell. Who rescued her? Our favorite rescuer-er of damsels in distress, Kurt. By teleporting. For a brief moment let's ditch the comics and pretend that at this point he could teleport more than one person, and while we're at it let's ditch the laws of physics and pretend that if he teleported up to grab someone (lets say a falling purple fairy) he wouldn't land with the same velocity as she was falling with. So he teleports with her, she thanks him, everyone thinks no biggie. But while in the dimension that Kurt teleports to, whose name I once learned but have since forgotten, there lives a being who's psych is construed in such a way (for inexplicable reasons) as to force it to reside in the young Sariceia's mind. 'Cause this sort o' thing happens all the time in the Marvel universe. So it doesn't affect her much for quite some time, until it gets really homesick. In a desperate effort to maneuver her into finding Kurt and re-teleporting back home, in gives her a wanderlust, which is why she travels to Romania so often, she's subconsciously looking for him but thinking that she's looking for her birthparents. Now don't get me wrong she doesn't want to find them, but yes. Being the strong willed individual that she is Sariceia's subconsciousness fights this intruder, even when they are both attempting to accomplish the same goal (i.e. make Kurt fall in love with her/it) Because she does love him, but wants/needs to be free of the being thing first. However in a moment of weakness caused by guess who Enigma (whom I will explain in great depth in a moment) she succumbers to the being's will and goes to find Kurt. This is where we meet her.

Kurt is possessed. And now you're thinking 'sigh here we go another really terrible fanfic writer…' and while that may still hold true, it's not that bad. Enigma is actually manipulating everyone (see 'Enigma'). Her reasoning is: what would make Kurt and Sariceia happy? Each other. So do everything possible to keep them apart.

Margali's vengeance. As any good x-men fan would know (oh come on go to and do Kurt and Magik II's profiles…) Kurt used to be in love with Amanda, who used to call herself Jimaine and now calls herself Magik… not commenting on Marvel's character development with this one. The twisted part? They're foster brother and sister. Ew. Their mother, like any good mom, just wants her children to be happy…but together. Even though both are happy to be just friends, she's angry and so is unknowingly collaborating with Enigma in subtly influencing Kurt against Sariceia and sort of nudging him towards Jimaine. It fails of course.

But since this is me writing this, guess how it ends? Yeah, happy for all. Though not for a while. After the whole run-in with Enigma thing, Sariceia has no idea which of her feelings are truly hers and needs some time away from everyone for a while, which makes Kurt mad as he's finally figured out that he loves her, so they have a fight. And at this point she's no longer a mutant anyway, so she goes to college in California for a while. She and Kurt miss each other desperately but neither wants to back down. It's so touching it could be a songfic. Eventually he gives in and shows up at her door circa the same time that her power's mysteriously come back (an apology gift from enigma when she's coerced into being nice by Kayla) through a whole romantic scene that perhaps in a time of boredom I'll write out. They get engaged and are one of the mansion's ever-increasing number of lovebirds for a while. Yes I'm a sucker for these relationship things. After a while they get married and have several adorable children, who may or may not get a story about them depending on just how cute they are. Just kidding I mean on my time restrains, since by virtue of my creating the characters they are what I want them to be... wait a sec you mean they aren't real? sobs Moving on…

Enigma, and why you should hate and fear her:
Basically the catalyst for all my plots. She's kind of like Phoenix only less powerful and has her own dimension place (it's like if we live in dimension 3, this is 3.5. it's very cool there, everyone is represented as essence-light-being things, hard to describe but fun). Driani messes with the spirit/soul of her avatar (the girl whose mutant ability and destiny is to become the focus point of the Enigma force, thus making her Enigma, kind of like Jean and Phoenix) in a bizarre plot that I confess to not fully thinking out before I posted it. How I'm representing souls and telepathy is just so complex right now even I don't want to deal with it… so yes. She vows to wreck havoc on Driani, but with style. Because instead of outright killing someone (which is always boring, even if you physically torture them for eons first) or going just half a step future and putting them into severe psychological pain, why not hurt everyone and anyone they are affiliated with? Hey, if you were an immortal and basically all powerful being with a grudge and time to kill, wouldn't you? Fine maybe you're a nice person and wouldn't but the important thing is that I'm not and I write this story so that's what 'igma's gonna do. Yeah. So aside from re-creating in Driani every phase of spirit that the vampiress has ever gone through plus a few from the avatar's own human past, the rest of the X-men are in for it.

the Kurt/Sariceia conflict described above

resurrects Silver Fox…sort of. Explanation to follow

accelerates Akkio's age to that of a sixteen year old a la Illyana and Belasco, upsetting and confusing Kitty since that's the second time someone she used to baby-sit for becomes one of her best friends.

un-hides the memories Dri's got of Stephen, whom she never really loved. Tell me you saw this one coming. He manipulated her mind into joining him as a vampire, and after that point she was stuck with him so it didn't matter. But she didn't know that, and now ironically it makes her happy since she no longer has any qualms whatsoever about loving Logan. But that's just the way Enigma works…

OTRA COSAS!

messes up a lot of people's mutant powers, as described soon enough. Basically she gives them extensions that aren't technically gene related but make enough sense for me, and as I may have mentioned this is my story

j

we think that silver fox is re-alive somehow, thanks to Enigma. This confuses Logan, who feels that well maybe he should go to her, and where does this put his relationship with Driani? But it's this other girl on whom Enigma's used an image inducer like spell. She's actually Kelly Clearriver, codename Grace, a Native American mutant gifted with extreme sense of balance. After the whole thing is sorted out she joins us on the junior team. As does Akiko, who has mutant powers like that of Sunfire, even though he's not her uncle by blood. No I don't care to explain that one for you thanks.

We also get a bunch of other fun new additions to the mansion's junior team, who DO have personalities honest! I worked really hard at not being like 'ooh, this is a cool mutant power, let's take another character from mold 2b and plop her in there'. So we've got Sita, who's from India. She controls snakes, in particular one boa constrictor with which, upon manifesting her powers, she accidentally forged a psi-link type thing and can as such communicate with it. It's very cool. When she, Caroline, and Mark (whom you've not met yet but will soon) follow the x-men into enigma's dimension Sita gains the ability to actually turn into a snake. Her codename will be something like Serpentine, I haven't decided completely yet. She comes from a very rich family, but her mother died a when she was young and her father was always very busy with his business so she grew up with very few boundaries. She's almost Caroline's antithesis, and Cari's very jealous of her for a while, then they become good friends. This gets a little dicey when Mark comes and both like him, making Cari very put out when he and Sita start dating, but eventually they decide to just be friends, thus giving us the adorable couples of Cari/Mark and Sita/Kyle. Mark is a popular but a pretty much average if outgoing guy, making him and Caroline the Mansion's only normal couple. He turns into "a giant green koush ball!" which he's very proud of. Actually he's poisonous, giving him the name Poison. Eventually he's able to retain his human form, with the help of, can you guess? Enigma. Because she's nice like that. I warned you, she's my solution to every plot hole. Kyle is pyrokinetic. He's a cool guy, but sadly he doesn't have much of a background story yet. I'm working on it. Ya see originally he was the same guy as Zap. Who is from Spain, mainly because I speak un poco de Espanola, and I absolutely adore his mutant powers. He has a combination of telekinesis and phasing, enabling him to call objects to him or 'zap' them across great distances. He's Jubilee's boyfriend, because I felt bad about completely forgetting her for whole chapters at a time. All of them go to the local high school which is NOT the same as in Evo. Because that would so mess up my story lines. And all is well in the land.

More coming soon because I want to just put this up already. Hope this made even just a little bit of sense. Feel free to review or email me at I absolutely promise to explain any questions.

NEXT: the whole, long, elaborate, overly well planned saga of Driani.
