Disclaimer: I don't own any of these, just chill, I'm playing, promise. This is in a different reality, where Jean and Scott actually marry and don't get a proper honeymoon.
A/N: Sorry for the bigger break, but I had a few exams and stuff, anyways, hope you like this chapter.
Thank you so much Slickboy444, jenskott, strayphoenix, cajuncrazy and jott luuuuuuuuuver. The reviews mean so much! This one's for you guys.
"CHARLES XAVIER! WHERE ARE YOU?"
The thuggish cry of Cain Marko shook the mansion, along with his oversized and heavy footsteps. One thing was certain, the Human Juggernaut did not work to an average five day week, choosing the one of the two days the X-Men had off from their teaching duties.
Logan snarled at the sound of Xavier's stepbrother and made for the front door. As he stalked into the foyer, he found the Professor waiting for him there. Raising an eyebrow at how calm the Professor remained he grunted.
"Please Logan, normal dialect will suffice for our conversations, that you are aware of."
Shaking his head at the mentor of the X-Men, Logan suppressed a grin. He let his claws pop from the back of his hands.
"I'd best be goin' t' deal with Juggie out there, civilities can wait Chuck."
Storm and Sage ran through the mansion and entered the foyer to see Charles laughing and nodding to Wolverine. The dark haired woman touched his shoulder and he turned to smile at her, before glancing to Wolverine once more.
"There, now you have some back up, though I am sure in the mood you are in Cain will not help but lose his temper and this fight."
Logan nodded and flung open the front doors, his teammates behind him, and their numbers growing as Rogue, Gambit, Iceman and Jubilee arrived. Iceman, Rogue and Gambit were the only ones who truly looked like X-Men by their clothing, Bobby having adopted his usual icy covering, and the other two hardly wore clothes they couldn't fight in. None of them looked happy. Not one enjoyed having their Saturday interrupted.
Juggernaut stumbled as he saw the seven X-Men preparing to charge him. He stood up again after a moments hesitation. "NOTHING WILL STAND IN THE WAY OF THE JUGGERNAUT!"
The small and extremely volatile Wolverine threw himself forward with a roar, causing the X-Men to scatter round and begin the fight. Ororo and Rogue took to the skies, as Bobby created an ice slide to get him to Juggernaut quickly. Sage mind linked all the tem, so that they could attack with precision and consecutively. Jubilee ran at Juggernaut from the right, as Bobby had the left and Logan had the centre, and Gambit disappeared from sight for the moment.
Cain had moments to react and react he did, well considering the pressure he was under from the assault of seven to one, he had to in some way. His armour made the ice balls, which Iceman threw, shatter, and his helmet protected him from a psychic barrage from Sage. He, however, could not stop himself from being forced back by the brutal and staggering, almost non-stop, punches, kicks and clawing of the Wolverine. Jubilee helped her father figure in the assault by blasting bright energy globules at his eye level, effectively blinding him. Nor could he stop the surge of electricity passing through him, as above in the skies the Wind-rider, Storm cast down lightning around and at him.
Roaring with anger he span and threw the Canadian from him and knocked Jubilee flying into the hedge close to the wall. He threw a hand out and contacted with Iceman, knocking him back and rendering helpless for the moment. Pressing his advantage, he tried to walk toward the mansion, only to find his ankle was being held back.
"Well hi there big dark and uglah, how're ya doin' sugah?"
Cain yelled and tried to grab the annoying skunk haired mutant, but she flew right over him and hovered in front of his face, but just out of reach.
"Ah think you need t' learn some manners Cain, you're not bein' very nahce."
"Listen lady, Juggernaut don't need no hassle from yous lot, I'm gettin' my evil step-brother if it's the last thing I do!"
Rogue fluttered her eyelashes and smirked at him. "You mean the Professor? Sorry hon, ah can't letcha do that, what with him bein' mah mentor an' all. Ah do hope we'll still be friends Juggie."
Cain stood puzzled at her words, but soon snapped back to reality as she attempted to wrench his helmet off, managing to destroy two of the screws.
"HEY, NO TOUCHIN'!"
He slammed a fist into her head as she dove again, a lucky shot, but one hard enough to knock her over the mansion roof. Grinning to himself he tried to move forward, only to smell something very peculiar, like brimstone…
"Guten Tag mein freund, was ist das? Attacking the X-Men again, vell that vill never do."
The acrobatic Nightcrawler spun down from the tree he had teleported to after grabbing the villain's attention. He made almost no sound as he landed and a small buzzing noise came from behind the tree, and a very angry Gambit emerged.
"You t'ink you can attack my chere and get away wid it? Ya need a lesson, like de lady said. What say you Kurt, we should teach him, non?"
A fanged grin appeared on the blue mutants face. "Ja, let us Gambit. After you."
Gambit obliged by throwing a number of kinetically charged cards at their foe and knocking him backwards a step. Casting a glance to Nightcrawler, a smile appeared on his face.
"Dis one is tryin' to fight back mon ami, how noble."
Nightcrawler, commonly known to his friends as Kurt Wagner, or elf (fuzzy), let out a small laugh and nodded. "Ve shall see how noble he is after ve have finished."
Without another word, Kurt teleported all around the now thoroughly confused enemy and began to undo the remaining bolts his sister had failed to. Gambit continued throwing charged cards and anything else he could lay his hands on, careful not to hit his fuzzy friend.
Storm saw the new player and smiled, then he had returned from Germany, this was wonderful news. She brought herself a little lower and made his teleporting easier by not generating as many lightning bolts. Sage waited silently for her turn, she knew a telepath could easily take down the Juggernaut once he had no helmet.
Rogue tore back over the mansion, more than a little pissed off. "Now ya got me mad, that was just dumb Juggie!"
She rocketed down and snatched his helmet off, neatly kicking him in the nose as she rose up again. Nightcrawler shook his head at his sisters behaviour, and then 'ported away from the now enraged Cain Marko. Sage took her opportunity and sent a strong telepathic surge to Cain's mind, effectively stunning him whilst she built up defences to his memories and prepared for a knock-out blast.
Wolverine couldn't wait, and neither could Rogue and they both charged at the struggling opponent. But instead of hitting him they went straight through the huge body, both narrowly missing hitting the floor, wall and each other. Turning back in rage, they spied Kitty Pryde making the big lug intangible, waiting for Sage to be ready.
After a moment he turned back to normal and slumped to the floor unconscious. Ororo dropped from the sky elegantly and made the winds around her calm with a mere thought, she held out a hand to Logan, who reluctantly took it and stood up the right way, a low growl in his throat as he looked at the 'sleeping' form of Juggernaut. He scowled at the huge form and kicked the armour.
"Stupid son of a-"
"Logan" Ororo's voice interrupted as a warning.
"Sorry darlin' but he's a piece a trash." Came the quiet reply.
Bobbie was already over with Jubilee, carrying her in his arms, though she was conscious and seemed okay. He strolled back to the group around Cain's body and wrinkled his nose. Remy and Rogue had their arms around each other, and Kitty was already hugging Kurt tightly and joking about good timing. Sage hung back a little out of things, as Ororo and Logan's hands were still loosely clasped together.
Professor Xavier's voice broke the moment, as Tessa sighed.
Well done my X-Men, Hank is coming out to help bring the Juggernaut inside to a holding cell for the time being.
His words caused Tessa to suck in the breath she had just released, in turn making Ororo raise both her eyebrows and smile encouragingly.
Soon the figure of Beast came into view, him carrying a small bag, as a doctor usually did, in Tessa's opinion. He nodded to his friends and noticed the hands of the two most senior. Chuckling to himself he knelt by Cain and gestured for Tessa to help him.
She slipped down onto her knees and leant over the body, checking his pulse and vital signs, including brain activity. Hank similarly checked him, then added a sedative to Tessa's psychic shock, in order to keep the huge man asleep for a little longer.
"Rogue, may I be so bold as to ask you to fly him down to the Medical Bay for me?"
Rogue shrugged and took her arm from around Remy's waist, and her head from his shoulder. "Sure thing Hank. Wanna come Rem?"
Remy smiled broadly at her public display of affection firstly physically, and now verbally. "Ya try an' stop me, petite."
The two walked away, Rogue carrying most of the Juggernauts weight and allowing Remy to 'help' her with the load. Ororo smiled and spoke out loud.
"I am so glad they've managed to get there. They both deserve it."
Logan laughed and Hank soon joined in with Tessa and Kurt, whilst Kitty, Jubilee and Bobby looked astounded at why they'd laugh about that. Kitty decided to be brave, hoping that Logan wouldn't skin her after she finished speaking.
"Like you and Logan, huh Ororo?"
Ororo looked across at the child she considered her daughter and blushed slightly, both her and Logan releasing each other's hand. She shared a secret smile with Tessa and winked at Kitty. "Hush kitten, we will talk later."
Kitty's mouth turned into a circle, before snapping shut and becoming a huge grin. Bobby took that opportunity to spring on them all his and Jubes plans.
"Hey guys? You know how I'm goin' away for a while tomorrow, right? Well, Jubes-is-coming-with-me-and-it's-only-for-a-week-and-we're-both-adults-and-you-can't-stop-us-but-is-that okay?" He took a deep breath after almost losing it all and Jubilation rubbed his neck soothingly and sympathetically.
Hank's eyes bulged in amazement, his young friend was serious about a girl and by the looks of things growing up a little. How interesting…
" 'S fine with me Ice box, but then I ain't Charlie in there, he has legal guardianship, not us."
Bobby nodded. "But if you guys said yes, then it's definitely gonna be okay with the Professor, not that you guys are any different to him, but uh-"
Jubes laughed and wriggled until he put her down. She looked at Logan sternly. "Wolvie if you said yes then anyone will about me. 'Cause you're so protective of me."
Logan grunted as she threw her arms around his neck in a hug, and amazingly responded in kind by hugging her back, his arms around her waist. "Kid, if I wasn't then you'd end up dead half the time."
She laughed and let go to take Bobby's outstretched hand and waved with the other as they made their way to tell the professor and pack. Kitty and Kurt pulled faces at their backs and began laughing, whilst Hank became very thoughtful and silent. Logan and Ororo glanced at each other and smiled.
"We're going to my attic, so if you require us do come up or yell." Ororo stated and held a hand out to steady Logan as the winds gathered around them, floating them up to their destination.
Hank and Tessa gradually rose from the floor, him holding a hand to help her. Fortunately or unfortunately, he pulled a little too enthusiastically and she ended up pressed to his chest. Blushing beneath his fur, he mumbled an apology as she did the same and they parted hurriedly. Kurt rolled his eyes at Kitty and she giggled.
"Ve'll see you later meine freunds, Katschen and I have a lot to catch up on." He grabbed her waist and teleported before she could utter a protest, leaving the two secretly in love friends alone.
"Well," Tessa smiled, "That was an experience."
Hank blushed again as she added quickly, "Fighting the Juggernaut I mean, uh, and-"
She blushed darker than him and looked up to find him smiling at her. He picked up his bag and put his equipment away hurriedly, before holding out an arm to escort her to view their 'guest'.
Charles Xavier looked away from his window, a smile shining on his face. All his eldest students, his X-Men, his family were growing, and it was beautiful. Bobby and Jubilee had seen him and he had agreed even before they spoke, which wasn't necessarily that impressive as they'd both stood in front of him for five minutes in silence, thinking how to say they wanted to go away together.
Even his 'son' was happy, ecstatically so with his wife and love of his life. Yes, Charles thought, life is good for them all, or it is becoming so.
Scott and Jean were in fact sitting quietly, their bodies just touching occasionally be it fingertips or foreheads, or toes. They were talking of the future and want they wanted as a couple, a home of their own, time together, children.
They were so preoccupied that they didn't notice the sudden climate change, nor the observation deck become visible for a short second. A smile was plastered behind the reinforced glass, and it turned to a sneer as the watchers fingers itched to touch the controls and many panels in it's vicinity.
"Scottie… My little Scottie, how long I have waited… And now you're with her too, perfect timing on my part and Cain's. Marvellous. I cannot wait to see what you make of me."
Ending it there folks, and I'd love feedback on who you think it is, or should be! Need input people, you help me make the tale.
Oh and big question my friends, do you want to see Kurtty or Kiotr?
PLEASE REVIEW!
