I don't...oh forget it. Read the other disclaimers.

Johnny lay on the floor, shivering in his icy bonds. A pair of boots filled his vision, their shiny surface reflecting his bluing face.

"You let them escape," said the owner of the boots, pacing before him. His master was livid; Johnny had never seen him in such a rage. "We shall have to find a new place to stay. No doubt Charles will have his little X-Men crawling all over here by the end of the week." Magneto kicked him roughly, turning the boy onto his back. He glared down at his trembling pupil, his eyes blazing.

"Calm yourself, Eric,' Mystique purred, draping her arm across his shoulders. Her side was wrapped in white gauze, flecked with blood; Johnny had an absurd vision of the French flag before his eyes, but he shoved it away, fearing that he would laugh. "Concentrate your anger on the source: Xavier and his minions."

"You dare to presume to tell me what to do?" he roared, throwing her from him. He fumed silently for a moment, tossing his red helmet to the ground. "But you are correct" he murmured. With a indifferent gesture, he drew a match from his pocket and struck it, tossing it to the ground. Johnny reached out for it hungrily, melting the ice. Anger surged within him when he remembered Rogue stealing his best Zippo. Coupled with the smirking face of his former friend, Johnny's fury grew.

They will pay.

At the end of all my fics (except one-shots) there'll be something like this. Just so you know. And can add other stuff, if you ask!

Things to watch for in the future:

A Johnny/Morgan interest

Bobby and Morgan getting along better

Morgan and Logan becoming friends; I mean with names like that, how could they not?

More Proffessor action (not enough in this one)

More from Umbra, Psyche(not dead!), and Techno. Especially Techno.

More about the garden

See you next time, same X-time, same X-channel!
