Epilogue

Almost six months later… June Twenty-seven

Tobias sat in his new room on his computer playing a game of solitaire when a knock on the door caught his attention. He looked over, "Come in."

Roberto De Costa walked followed by Sam Guthrie. "Whatchu doing?"

"Playing solitaire," Tobias answered as Spot slipt through the door just as Sam closed it.

"Aren't you sick of that yet?" Sam asked

"No, not until I win a game," Tobias said.

"Come on," Roberto laughed, "You still haven't won after six months, just give up."

"Never," Tobias cried in a war cry. Spot jumped onto the bottom bunk bed which was waiting for the return of his sister.

"Come on," Roberto said, "We about to have dinner come on."

A loud roar got their attention.

"Sabertooth and Wolverine must be playing pool again," Sam smiled. Tobias nodded as he quit his game and stood up. The entire Brotherhood had moved in the institute after Nina's death, as Sabertooth refused to leave in case she returned. Both teams had become friends. Toad and Nightcrawler were constantly sparring and having playful fights. Storm and Mystique spent a lot of time with each other in the kitchen. Scarlet Witch and Boom Boom got along well with all the girls at the institute, as did Quicksilver, Frog, Avalanche and Blob with the boys. And then there was Wolverine and Sabertooth. They got along just enough to play pool a lot.

"Let's go," Roberto said, grabbing Tobias by the arm. He dragged him out of the room, Tobias didn't bother protesting. The group walked down the hallway as Spot strutted behind them. The cat suddenly ran of in the opposite direction. "What's wrong with Spotty?"

"No idea," Tobias said as they neared the cafeteria. He almost tripped over his shoelace. He bent down and tied it up as Sam and Roberto entered the cafeteria. He stood up and stretched as he saw Fang scurrying over the ceiling towards where Spot ran to. He rolled his eyes as he opened the door. He raised a brow when he noticed the total darkness of the room. "Hello?"

"SURPRISE!" Suddenly everyone screamed. He flinched; Siryn used her out door voice. Firecrackers light up the room as Storm walked up to him carrying a huge cake. It was half brown and half black with white font saying HAPPY 16th BIRTHDAY TOBIAS

He rolled his eyes as everyone began to sing. Frog was singing a different version at the same time.

"Happy Birthday to you, (Happy Birthday to you) Happy birthday to you, (You're a hundred and two!) Happy birthday dear Tobias (You look like a monkey!) Happy birthday to you. (But you smell like a donkey)."

"Hip, hip!" Siryn screamed.

"Hurray!"

"Hip, hip!" Siryn screamed.

"Hurray!"

"Hip, hip!" Siryn screamed.

"Hurray!"

Tobias blew out all sixteen candles. At the same time he rubbed his ear and glared Siryn, who grinned, her sparkly teeth showing. Storm had managed to push everyone out of the way to give him a sloppy kiss on the cheek.

"Muuuummmm!" Tobias complained, wiping his cheek. He wiped his hand against his jeans. "Yuck, I'm going to my room!"

He was begun to walk to the door, but he stopped in his tracks. Warren and Remy could see him suddenly smile. Something scratched at the door.

"What is it?" Warren asked. Remy walked towards the door and opened it slowly. Suddenly Spot came running in looking some what frightened. Remy jumped away from the door towards Warren.

"Spot, what's wrong?" Storm asked kneeling behind the cat that hid behind her. Storm screamed when a huge lion entered the room. She wasn't the only person everyone else also screamed when the lion was followed by a large grey wolf and then a cheetah.

The Lion roared, the wolf howled and the cheetah morphed into the white-haired Nina. Storm screamed in delight and ran up to her daughter. Nina however dove under her mothers arms and jumped into her twin's arms. She then licked her brother cheek happily.

"NINA!" Tobias snapped angrily wiping his cheek. Nina smiled at him. "Where the hell have you been?"

"Africa," Nina said, she pointed at the lion, "That's Drusus, then I went to Alaska, where I found Mila and her two pups, I took all three in."

"I don't see no pups," Tobias muttered, Storm by now had her arms around Nina, as Julius hugged her leg.

"They are out side, with everyone else," Nina said.

"Everyone else?" Wolverine asked. It was then everyone heard a loud trumpet-like noise.

"Was that an elephant?" Rogue asked walking towards the window; everyone followed her and then gasped. There was a baby elephant, three giraffes, a horse, more cats, two hyenas, a moose, three monkeys, nine otters, and an eagle.

"Nina! That's an entire zoo!" Storm snapped, "You can't keep them here!"

"I never said anything about keeping them here," Nina said, "I'm moving in with dad; they have plenty of room outside."

"Nina, we've all moved in here," Sabertooth pointed out gruffly, Nina shrugged.

"That's alright," Nina said, "They can still stay there, and I'll still go and live there."

"You can't live there alone!" Storm sighed. Nina nodded.

"Yeah, I can," Nina muttered, "Besides, half the time I'll be here."

"Whoo! Hoo! Hold it!" Tobias snapped, "You ain't moving into a house by your self until I'm twenty-one!"

"And who is gonna stop me,"

"Me," Tobias said. He then pointed at the X-men and Brotherhood, "And my army."

"Well I have my own army," Nina said, "And truth be told Todd, Toad and Dad are on my side. Remember I'm Anima."

"You ain't going no where!" Sabertooth growled, Nina gave him a look, when suddenly his entire face changed to a happier one, "Actually I agree with Nina, she can move out."

"VICTOR!" Storm snapped slapping him across the head. The large cat growled rubbing his head. "And Nina that is the last time you put any one under that control in this house:

"Right," Nina smirked. "So am I going to get a happy birthday from any one?"

"Oh yeah," Tobias said, "Happy sixteenth you fruit loop!"

Again the room erupted with song, with Todd singing his own version. Storm had relit the candles of the cake as the song ended. Nina and Tobias leaned in and blew out the sixteen candles, as another hurray chant started.

"Time to open the presents!" Storm smiled. The twins were dragged over to a large table filled with different sized presents. Nina looked over them and raised a brow.

"They are all address to Toby," Nina said.

"We thought you may not be here," Siryn said honestly. Nina nodded.

"Well I'm back and I ain't going no where," Nina smiled. "Toby, open up your presents."

"I'll do that later," Tobias said, "Let's go outside. I want to see what animals you have."

Remy and Warren sat outside the Brother hood's old home, watching as Nina's new friends ran out side the large front yard at the manor. There was Spot the leopard, Fang the Spider, Drusus the lion, Mila the wolf and her to cubs Gypsy and Creams, Philo the Elephant, Yarko, G-man and Bob the giraffes, Nay the Horse, Tom, Tina and Leyla the cats, Fundo and Hyaya the hyenas, Moosie the moose, Molly, Polly and Dolly the monkeys, nine otters named Bill, Remus, Sevvie, Logan, Tim, Orlando, Scotty, Chris and Dave. And then there was Nina Junior the eagle. None of the animals other then Nina Jr liked Warren, but all seemed to love Remy and were constantly hanging by him.

"I wished they'd like me that much," Warren sighed contently. Remy was leaning in his arms with an otter lying on his stomach. Warren was stroking Nina Jr's wings as well as Remy's hair.

"I like ya more den all of 'em put together," Remy said. "Actually I don't like you."

"No?" Warren asked.

"NO," Remy muttered, "I love you."

"I love you too," Warren said as he leaned down and kissed Remy passionately on the lips.

Storm watched as Julius drew Nightcrawler who was hanging upside down from the chandelier.

"Can you see me vell, Jules?" Kurt asked, Julius nodded as he continued to draw.

"I'm almost finished," Julius said as he looked up. "Finished."

Storm took the picture from Julius and smiled, "Its beautiful, my little one."

Julius smiled back as Storm hung the picture of Kurt next to other things her son had drawn. She turned and found Kurt still hanging from the chandileer. She walked over and kissed him as he was hanging. Soon both found water flowing onto them. Storm turned to see Matthew, Helen and Stacy laughing at them.

"Oh my Spiderman," Stacy said, "How you've changed."

Sabertooth watched as Wolverine positioned him self to shot a ball into the pool table. Sabertooth sighed as Wolverine was taking his time.

"Hurry the fuck up!"

"Piss off," Wolverine barked. Once more the two began a brawl as Charles and Eric sighed.

Toad and Frog sat together near a pond both using there tongue to catch flying insects. Mystique walked past and almost threw up at the sight.

"Toad that's disgust-mmmpph!" Toad grabbed her and shut her mouth by kissing her, his long tongue massaging her as they kissed.

Sunspot, Bezerker, Amara, Kitty, Rogue, Iceman, Colossus, Tabitha, Wanda, Pietro, Lance, and Fred watched as Sam threw things into the air and Meta used her power to break them into tinier pieces.

Sunspot smiled, feeling his eagle pendant, as Meta finally grew bored and tackled Sam. She began to tickle him. He laughed hard, but stopped when she suddenly hugged him tightly.

"You're so fucking cuddable," Meta smiled, kissing him on the cheek. Sam went bright red as the group laughed. Sunspot stood up and walked off.

Nina and Tobias sighed staring around their room. It was a mess. After their birthday the pair had received so many gifts that they were surprised that anything fit in the room. Sabertooth had brought them a large TV, with a video and DVD player, and a play station two. He also had brought them a few games, videos and DVDs to go with the other presents. Storm had taken both on a shopping spree. They had enough clothes to cover the continent of Australia.

"This is gonna take for ever," Nina sighed.

"To bad neither one of us has super speed," Tobias said.

"Lets get Quicksilver," Nina suggested.

"NO! He talks to much!" Tobias said horrified.

"Alright, then we can get Siryn," Nina said cheekily.

"Shut up," Tobias snapped. Some one knocked on the door, "Get your ass in."

The door opened, Sunspot poked his head in. "You two busy?"

"Nope," Nina lied, "You heard Toby get your ass in."

"What's up?" Toby asked.

"I have got Nina's present," Roberto said proudly, before adding stupidly "A month later."

Toby laughed, heading to the door, "I'm gonna get some food."

He left as Roberto walked towards Nina. She smiled and kissed him on the cheek.

He reached behind his neck and then pulled of his necklace.

"This is yours," he said handing her the silver necklace with the eagle.

Nina smiled happily as he fixed it around her neck. He pulled his arms down and smiled back at her. Nina sighed before pulling him in and kissing him overpoweringly.

The pair pulled apart and smiled once more. "Thanks."

"No problem," Roberto sighed, holding her in his arms.

"I love you," she said placing her head on his shoulder.

"I love you too," he smiled
