Hope ya enjoy the chapter.

Disclaimer: I own nothing, wish I did, but I don't. If I did, then Gambit would still be alive in Ultiamte X-Men and him and Rogue would be happy.

Los Angeles, California

Warren's black eyes looked down at a body of the dead man lying on the ground. 'What have I done?' He asked himself as he hovered above the man. His eyes began to turn back to blue.

'You did what is good for the rest of the mutant population. Humans are weak and must be killed.' A dark voice that was not his own said in the back of his mind.

'No, I don't want this. They don't deserve to die.' He yelled at the voice, but the only reply he received was a chuckle.

'Sure you don't. Face it, you are worthless and weak. You're not even under half his full power. And stop denying it, you know you like seeing them being slaughtered. Doesn't it anger you that your wings were ripped from your back?" The voice chuckled when it felt Warren sadden from the reminder.

"This is the only thing you are good for, being the Angel of Death." The voice laughed in the back of his head as it took control over his mind again. Instantly, his eyes reverted back to the pitch black coals.

"No one will be able to get in my way and soon I shall free my master from his prison." A wicked smirk spread across Warren's blue face.

"Warren!" He heard his name called by a masculine voice. He turned to see Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm, Beast, Nightcrawler, and Psylocke standing in the street, staring up at him.

"Betsy." Warren whispered to himself. He couldn't let this thing hurt his girlfriend. 'She must really care if she went to New York to bring help.' He thought to himself.

'Don't count on it. They've come to kill you. But don't worry, you got a front row seat to their deaths.' The voice laughed at Warren before it addressed the people in front of it. "What, you've come to try and stop me?"

Cyclops flinched behind his visor at the sound of Warren's voice. His normal, calm, and proud voice was replaced by a deep darker one. "Warren, if you are in there, listen to me. I know you don't want this. Try to fight it." He tried to reach his friend.

"How cute, you're trying to reach your little friend. Sorry, but I believe he actually is enjoying this. He was the one who asked, well I can not reveal that information, but this is Worthington's own fault. He wanted his wings back and got them back." The dark voice told the X-Men.

"I don't believe you. Warren is a good man, no matter what you say!" Psylocke shouted at the thing that held the man she loved prisoner.

"That's it. I've had enough talkin'. Either leave the wing guy alone or fight us!" Wolverine growled at the blue mutant.

"As you wish." A smirk appeared as Archangel flew down at the X-Men. His metal wings were extended to their fullest to cut anyone that crossed their path. He flew at Wolverine, who was about to jump out of the way, when he was grabbed from the flying mutant.

"Maybe you should have kept your mouth shut." Archangel grinned down at his captive, who was about to slash him with his claws. He threw Wolverine into a near by car, sending the mutant through the windshield.

"Yer gonna pay for that one, bub." Wolverine growled to himself. He had a piece of glass caught in his arm, but his healing factor was taking care of it.

Storm came up behind him and sent a gust of wind at him, slamming the winged mutant into a nearby building. "You're going to pay for that." He growled at the white-haired goddess.

"Warren, listen to me." Cyclops yelled at the mutant. "You have to stop this!" He begged the mutant.

"Apparently you have a death wish, boy. You should have minded your own business!" Archangel shouted as he flew down at Cyclops, who had a hand on his visor.

Just as he was about to hit Cyclops, Psylocke stood in front of him and blocked his view. 'Betsy.' Warren thought to himself as he stopped the thing controlling him from attacking.

'What are you doing!" The voice demanded.

"You're not going to hurt her!" Warren shouted as he regained control over his mind. "I may have wanted my wings back, but they are not worth losing her. Now get lost!" He yelled. as he pushed the voice out of his head. He fell from the air and hit the pavement.

A bright light came from Warren's chest and disappeared into the air. His blue skin began to disappear and turned back to white. His black eyes reverted back to their normal blue. Finally, his metal wings broke apart and fell to the ground, releasing a pair of soft white wings just like the ones he had before.

"Warren?" Betsy asked as she approached him. He looked up at her and smiled.

"Betsy, I'm so sorry." He apologized as he got up from the ground. She hugged him.

"I was so scared something happened to you." She told him.

He placed a hand on the back of her head. "I should have listened to you." He told her as he looked down at her.

Nightcrawler, Storm, Cyclops, Beast, and Wolverine were all watching. "So this means I can't beat the crap outta him?" He asked Storm.

She shook her head as she looked over at the Canadian. "No, that apparently wasn't him. This is the real him." She said with a smile. Kurt placed an arm around her shoulder.

"Are you two coming back with us or staying here?" Scott asked the couple who stopped hugging and looked over at the X-Men leader.

"I think we'll be going with you." Warren answered. He looked down at Betsy. "That is, if you want?" He asked.

"Of course." She replied with a smile.

X-Mansion

Jubilee had asked people all over the mansion if they had seen the new student, Jono. Most of them would either say they didn't know whom she was talking about or didn't know where he was. She sighed as he walked past the teacher's rooms. 'How can it be this hard to find him in here? Someone should have at least seen him around.' She grumbled to herself.

She noticed that someone had entered the garden room next to Storm's. "Why would someone go in there? Only Miss. Munroe goes in there and she gets ticked when she finds people messing with her plants." Jubilee whispered to herself. She knew her teacher would not be back for some time, so she decided to enter.

When she came into the room, she found heating lamps above many exotic plants. The windows were shut to keep the sun and cold air from the window out. 'There he is.' Jubilee said to herself. She had finally found Jono. He was looking around the room and the plants and had his back facing her.

"Hey." She greeted him, accidentally startling him. "Oh, sorry. Didn't mean to startle you. I was just wondering where you were." She apologized to him.

It's alright. Why were yer lookin' fer me? Jono asked her.

"Um, no, I was just wondering where you were. I kinda wanted to talk to you." Jubilee told him with a smile on her face. He raised an eyebrow at her.

'Why would she want ter talk ter someone like me?' He thought himself. What do yer wanna know? He questioned her.

"Well you're new here and I know it's kind of scary when ya first come. When I first came here, I was scared the first day. Then after that I warmed up and now usually people can't get me to shut up." She joked to him. It was hard to read his expressions since his face was covered with the black scarf.

I like being by meself. He telepathically told her.

Jubilee cocked her head at him. "But don't you get lonely?" She asked him.

He shook his head. After what happened before, don't want ter get close ter others. It's better this way. Yer should probably go back ter yer friends, I'll be fine. Thanks fer talkin'. He told her as he turned around and began looking at the plants again.

"I know it's none of my business to ask, but what happened that makes you so distant? Besides, I got all the time in the world. Most of my friends are spending time with their 'lovers'." She told him as she walked up next to him. "Also, why do you wear that scarf? I've been wondering about that since you came here?" She asked him.

I don't wanna talk about it. He told her. He turned his head to look at her. Yer wouldn't understand.

Jubilee crossed her arms over her chest. "Try me. I've heard and seen a lot of things around this place. Nothing you say would make me think different of you. Only thing I know is you like to keep to yourself. I promise and if I say anything you can smack me. Unless Wolvie is around, then you might not want to cause he will go feral on your ass." She smiled at him.

Jono sighed. 'I guess it can't hurt, but she'll be thinkin' the same as me when I'm done tellin' her.' He thought to himself. Before me powers manifested I had a girlfriend. We were close, but not close enough where we would eventually marry each other. I cared for her a lot. Then when me powers came, it blew out me chest and it paralyzed her. Her family blamed me and so did me own family. Me folks and I never got along too well in the first place.

Jubilee placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "It's not your fault that happened. A lot of people around here hurt others when their powers came. My friend, Rogue placed the first boy she ever kissed into a coma. It's not your fault that it had happened." She told him, but he only shook his head.

I should never have been near her. She would be fine now. I had snuck into her hospital room one night, after I found out how to keep me powers under control. The first thing she did when she looked at me was cringe. She couldn't move or scream, though I know she wanted to. After a while, I started thinkin' it probably wasn't because I was there, it was because how I look. He said to her. He leaned against the table and placed a hand to his eyes to block the tears.

"How could it be because of how you look? You look normal to me." Jubilee told him. 'Poor guy, maybe I'll have Rogue talk to him. She knows sort of what he is going through.' She thought to herself.

Like I said before, when me powers manifested, a energy blast blew open me chest. It also took me jaw along with it. He told her sadly. 'Why am I telling her this? Bloody hell, she is going to think I'm a monster. She probably does already, but is hidin' it.' He thought to himself.

"That's why you have the scarf covering your face?" She finally realized. He nodded his head.

And got bandages covering me chest. He added in.

"Can I see?" She asked him. Her brown eyes meeting his. He shook his head 'no.' "I haven't judged you have I? I think you had a hard life and don't know how to open up. Please?" She asked him, her brown eyes twinkling in the light.

'She seems sincere.' Jono thought to himself. He sighed in defeat as he began to remove the scarf from his face. He pulled it down, revealing bandages that covered his neck and his missing jaw. He looked at the ground immediately ashamed of how he looked.

Jubilee smiled at him. "I thought you looked cute when I first met ya. Now seeing ya without the scarf, you do look really handsome." She told him. He looked up at her in shock.

Yer don't mean that. How could I ever look handsome lookin' like this? He asked to her.

"Well I think you do and I don't go around saying that too often. Well maybe once in a while, but if I am disgusted by something I usually will come out and say it.. Did you hear me say anything?" She asked him.

No, but still haven't figured out why. He said as he looked down at her. She caught him by surprise when she hugged him. The only other person to hug him was his ex-girlfriend. His parents, even when he was little, never hugged him. Thank you. He told her as he returned the embrace.

Professor's Office

It hadn't been too much of a surprise that Jean Grey was sitting in front of him. He had felt her mind a week after she had 'died,' but it had disappeared as quickly as it came. The Professor shook his head, wishing he had been able to detect her sooner. He had used Cerebro for the first two weeks she had been gone and found no trace of the red-head.

"So I was a telepathic mutant?" She asked Charles who nodded.

"You were one of my first students here. I had known you for quite a while. I am sorry we were unable to find you sooner." He apologized to her.

"It's alright." She said to him. When they had first rolled up to the mansion, she began to get de-ja-vu. This office looked familiar as well, but she didn't know why.

They both heard a knock on the door. You may enter. Charles told the two mutants behind the door. Remy and Rogue stepped inside the office. "Hey, we wanted ta ask ya- oh mah gawd. Miss Grey?"Rogue's eyes widened as she looked at her used-to-be-dead teacher.

"Hi?" Jean said as she turned around to look at the two. The girl with white stripes in her brown hair looked more familiar than the guy standing next to her.

She has amnesia and doesn't remember this place, nor the people who live here. Charles explained to Rogue telepathically. "Is there something I can do for the two of you?" He asked them.

"Was wonderin' if we could borrow one of de nicer cars for tomorrow? Logan said he'd kill moi if I take chere on a motorcycle again." Remy stated. He had a run in with Logan before the mission and he had threatened if Remy took Rogue on a motorcycle, he would never see the light of day again.

"Of course." Charles smiled at the two of them. They then turned to leave.

"Thank ya, Professor." Rogue told him as she shut the door.

"Logan? That name sounds familiar." Jean said to herself, but loud enough for the Professor to hear.

"You remember the name?" Charles asked her curiously.

"Yes." She replied as another name came to her head. "Also I remember someone named Scott." She told him. For some reason those two names rung a bell in her head and she did not know why.
