"Man, that skatin' rink is packed wit' people!" Evan Daniels hollered. He, himself, was an extraordinary skater. Only problem was – he didn't keep it to himself.
"I'm the man! Hear me? Me da MAN!"
"Least your modest, " Kitty muttered.
"I'll never crash," he said ignoring Kitty, "I am the best skater this place'll ever see!"
Jean was standing there to wish him good luck. Just because he was a show-off didn't mean he wasn't part of the X-Men. She couldn't care less anyway. She was still moping about Scott.
The first person was a guy called Rad. And, boy, was he GOOD!
"Uh, oh. This guy will be hard to defeat. Not to mention…"
What the hell was he thinking? He could defeat anyone…so he said.
Dear diary,
I have the sinking feeling that something really, really bad is going to happen in the next fifteen minutes so I'm just going to keep writing. Keep writing, keep writing.
Jean came over to see how I was. She broke up with Duncan when he didn't attend Scott's funeral. You know about the X-Men, right? They're these mutants…who um, try to protect humanity as well as mutant stages. Unfortunately, one of Prof's friends Eric Lensherr known as Magneto was trying to save only the mutant race and wipe out humanity. And that is why Mag's group the Brotherhood hates our guts. And likewise.
Scott used to be on the running track. But then really fast people came in. Quicksilver – though I wouldn't call it talent –, Pyro, now Evan.
Don't blame me for picking up weird topics. I'm scared for Evan!
Evan skated smoothly until he saw some water strewn across. No problem! He leaped over it just as smoothly. He was gonna win if he made this jump! He could hear his aunt Ororo Monroe cheering from the sidelines. He saw a guy that looked familiar next to him, he had bright, spiky red hair and wore some goggle kind of things. He was flicking a lighter on and off.
Sheesh, Evan thought, he doesn't look like a skater. He looks like some…mutant.
Mutant. Just like he was.
Pyro. Mutant. Brotherhood! As he recognised the redhead it was too late to scream. Pyro flicked it on once more and the entire track exploded.
Worried people rushed to the rescue. Everyone was upset that Evan was no more. But then Kitty looked around for Pyro.
He was gone.
