Prexistence: I kinda actually have writers block for a part in this story, but well that is like the very end of this story, by then I should have everything all figured out. So no worries, this story will be finished for sure.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from X-Men or anything :(
The school was quiet as everyone in the building had gone to bed. The students laid peacefully in their beds, resting their eyes. However, that was the opposite of what was happening in the teacher's wing.
Ororo shifted uncomfortably in her bed, thinking about the recent news of the mutants that were killed. Every time she closed her eyes she pictured them in her head. What terror they must have gone through the last minutes of being alive.
Kurt had now finally decided to go to sleep after praying for all the mutants that had been killed and pray they may now find peace where they are at. He placed the rosary on his night stand and tucked himself into bed.
Xavier had been thinking the same as Ororo, how could someone of done that to the group of mutants. Something didn't seem right about it. He was determined to find out what had happened to them and their killer.
Cyclops had awoken from another nightmare of seeing Jean being taken away from him and the rest of the team by the wave of water. Each night the nightmare would plague his dreams causing him very little sleep.
While Hank and Logan were having their own nightmares in their own rooms.
The visitor that took up the extra bedroom was having problems sleeping as well. Gambit kept shifting around in his bed.
'It's only one little job, how hard can it be?' Kept replaying itself in his mind. He tried to cover his ears, but he kept hearing those words being repeated and repeated over and over. A drop of sweat ran down his face and landed on itself on the pillow beneath his head. He opened his red on black eyes and blinked a few times, while taking a deep breath to try and remind himself it was only a dream.
He finally slowly sat up from the bed and rubbed his eyes. 'Why can' y' jez leave moi alone?' He thought to himself. Each night he would always have the same dream, if not this one, then one similar or worse.
He decided maybe if he had a smoke it would take his mind off the nightmares. He got out of bed and grabbed a pair of pants and zipped them up. He went over to the other side of the bed and reached under the mattress to get out a pack of cigarettes. Storm had told him if he wanted to smoke he had to make sure the kids couldn't get their hands on it. He didn't want to imagine what she would do to him if one of them found them.
Once he grabbed them he walked to the window to open it. He quietly moved onto the fire escape without making any noise. He then leaned against the side of the mansion and pulled out a cigarette. He placed it to his mouth and he touched the end of it with his finger to light it.
He breathed in the smoke and then released it into the air. "Why must y' keep hauntin' moi?" He whispered to himself and looked out over the mansion grounds. It was a really nice place to be, he remembered his home back in New Orleans was nice like this.
"Gambit don' deserve to be in a place like dis." He mused to himself as he brought the cigarette back to his lips. The pass few months had been hard on him, except when he returned back to his home to see Jean-Luc, Henry, and Tante Mattie
'You owe me.' He heard the voice say as he recalled one of the nightmares from before. "Mabbe it be best if Remy leave dese people." He thought aloud. Then his began to think about the one girl he had seen earlier, the one with the white shrieks in her hair.
'Ah could feel dat fille be hurtin'. Don' know why, she seem to be hidin' her feelin's from everyone.' He thought as he remembered Rogue and her friends laughing. Sure on the outside she looked as happy as could be, but his empathy was telling him another story.
"Mabbe jez stay 'ere til she is not sad no more." He said as he put out the cigarette and went back inside his room. He laid down on his bed and stared at the ceiling thinking of Rogue.
'Ah never seen a fille as belle as she.' He smiled at the thought of her. He sat back up and looked down at the a scar he had gotten only a while ago. It had finally all healed just a week ago. There were four long streaks that ran from the middle of his chest down to his side. It healed nicely, thanks to his Tante Mattie, who had been helping him with it.
He decided to just lay back in the bed and wait for the sun to rise.
New York Sewer
"My, my looks like someone had a lot of fun down here." A man said as he held the flashlight to look at the dead mutants. A man beside him had led him down here to get a look at it. "So your men found them down here? It would be helpful to find out who had done it. You told me over the phone you were going to try and find out who had done it, did you have any luck Henry?" The man asked.
"No, we tried finding little pieces of hair or something on these mutants of the killer, but had no such luck. How has your invention been going along? You said you would show me the blue prints of it." Henry asked Trask, who smiled and pulled out a folded paper from his back pocket.
"This is going to be the greatest weapon the human race has ever created. It will get rid of our problems once and for all." He unfolds the paper and motions for Henry to come and look at it. "We are using special material to make it, since our reports of mutants that can control metal." He told Henry.
"Some can control metal?" Henry asked, he wasn't really that surprised. He had seen a variety of different powers that mutants had control over.
"There is of one, calls himself Magneto. He is defiantly a danger to us. He is the one that was behind Liberty Island incident. There is another of a girl that could control metal as well." Trask explained to his friend, before folding the paper back up.
"So this thing is suppose to destroy all the mutants or capture them?" Henry asked him.
"It is suppose to capture them, if they show any resistance it will terminate anything that stands in it's way." Trask smiled. He couldn't wait to see the first one made, for years he had been working on making his dream come to life and it finally was going to happen. "It should be done within a few days."
"I would like to be one of the first to see it." Henry told the other man, before he felt a buzzing from his pager. "Hold on a minute." He said annoyed that he was being disturbed.
"No problem." Trask had his mind on other matters. 'Finally, I will be able to sleep at night knowing the world is safe from the mutants.' He smiled at the thought of it.
"It was just the office." Henry told Trask, who didn't seem to care. "By the way did you hear that Stryker had been killed by mutants, if I were you I'd be careful." Henry said to him.
"Stryker was a fool. The man wanted to control mutants and it ended up back firing on him I am guessing. Mutants need to be either locked away or destroyed before they cause harm." Trask stated to his friend as he began to walk back toward the entrance. "I have seen enough. I shall call you when it is done."
"Wait, one last thing. What are those things called you are making?" Henry called over to Trask, who stopped walking to the exit.
Trask turned around and smiled at Henry. "The Sentinels."
Xavier's School
"What is it you wanted to speak to us about Professor?" Scott asked as all the teachers in the mansion entered Xavier's office.
"I wanted to ask you all of the progress of Mr. Drake." The Professor asked them, once they were all in the room and were sitting or standing.
"He has been doing well in History and hasn't caused any trouble." Ororo said, she was telling the truth. He would be at class each day on time, unlike some other students and had all the homework turned in and was doing very well on it all.
"I would have to agree with Ororo. He has been doing very well in my class as well. As for the check up you wanted me to do on him, it appears the young man is in good health." Hank told the Professor, who nodded.
"How about in the Danger Room?" Xavier asked, turning to Logan and Kurt.
"He has been doing alright." Logan said as he leaned against the door. He would rather be off doing other things than discussing about Bobby Drake.
"During mein lessons he has been doing vell." Kurt told the Professor, trying to make up for what Logan had said. Bobby would always stay extra long in the Danger room when he was in there. Kurt thought that the boy deserved to the credit for it.
"The reason I ask is because he has asked me many of times if he could become a X-Man. First when he asked I told him to work hard, then we might consider. I believe he is ready to have his abilities tested." Xavier explained to them about the questioning of their student.
"He would make a great addition to the team." Scott said immediately. He considered Bobby one of his best students, almost his favorite in his class.
"Very well, but what could he do for a test that would prove he would be resourceful?" Xavier asked as he placed his hands together.
"Maybe a Danger Room session on a different level?" Ororo suggested, they never had placed anyone through a test. Most of the members had been old enough.
"That could vork." Kurt said as he smiled at Ororo, who smiled back at him.
"I dun't know, puttin' the kid through somethin that could harm him. I think we should find somethin else." Logan said.
"Well, what else do you have in mind?" Scott asked the Canadian, who glared back at him.
"I say one of us goes against em." Logan growled at Scott, who was not intimidated by Logan's behavior.
"That is not a bad idea. We are all members of the X-Men and we know what is takes for someone else to be one as well." Hank finally spoke up. He had been thinking along the same lines as Logan had, but didn't say anything.
"Who is going to test him then?" Ororo asked the other teachers around her. This would be interesting, who was willing take on a student and not be soft on them.
"I don't think it would be a good idea if Logan does. For one we don't need a student that is cut up into little pieces." Scott stated, knowing how Logan usually lost his temper when he was about to lose.
"Then who would you suggest, oh fearless leader?" Hank raised a eyebrow to Cyclops.
"Bobby has been around here to see everyone's powers in this school. He knows what to expect from each of you." Xavier said quickly before Logan had a chance to speak and he knew what was going to come out of his mouth was not going to be pretty. Every chance Logan got he would insult Scott and Scott would do the same.
"Perhaps." Ororo began to say, but then stopped. Everyone in the room looked at her. "Well since Bobby knows everybodies powers it is not that hard for him to figure out how to dodge them and get around them." She started to explain her idea. "Maybe we use someone who he has no idea of what powers they possess?"
Xavier smiled at the white haired woman. "Just my thoughts exactly. If you would be so kind to ask Gambit if he would help in the little test." He had been wanting to see both young men in combat, not against each other, but on the battle field. He had seen Bobby fight a few times in the Danger Room, but he never got to see Gambit during battle.
"Vould he agree?" Kurt asked his girlfriend. She was about to answer when she was interrupted by Scott.
"Are you sure that is such a good idea? Bobby could hurt him and he is only staying here for a few days. I am sure he doesn't want to walk out of here with injuries." Scott folded his arms, he didn't like the Cajun when he had met him two years back and didn't like him now. He reminded him too much of Logan and in Scott's mind was the last thing the mansion needed another one of.
"Actually it is more of the opposite. Gambit can stand his own ground when being attacked." Ororo defended her best friend. She didn't have to make up anything, it was the truth.
"I remember when you introduced us to him Ororo, I must say I had never seen a mutant so young and so in control of his powers. Especially the ones he has, most others I believe would have lost control by now." The Professor commented.
"So then do we all agree?" Ororo asked around to the others. Hank, Kurt, Logan, Xavier all agreed. Scott finally agreed as well, muttering under his breath that Bobby is going to kick the Cajun's ass.
