Hope you enjoy this chapter :)
Disclaimer: I do own any of the characters in here, if I did they would all stop DYING in the comics.
The Professor's Office
Professor Charles Xavier waited for everyone to pile into the room. He had told them the night before he wanted to meet with the adults in the morning. Scott sat in the chair before the Professor with Jean sitting on his knee. Next to him sat Warren and Betsy, who had a cup of coffee in her hands.
Standing in the back, Remy leaned against the wall. He was not a morning person and felt like he was going to fall asleep at any moment. Storm and Kurt stood next to the Cajun. On the other side of the room, Hank and Logan stood by the door, waiting to hear what the Professor had to say to them.
"Thank you all for coming this morning. I wanted to discuss about the classes here. Since we have more adults here, I was wondering if you would like to teach some of the students? I am not forcing anyone into this, but it would be a great help. If you do not want to teach, you may leave the room now." Xavier told them. He had expected one or two people to leave, but none of them did.
The Professor smiled at them all and nodded. "Thank you for staying. We must discuss who will be teaching what class. Scott, Ororo, Kurt, and Logan you may all keep your original classes. Hank, I believe you've done an excellent job in teaching art and science, but we need someone with your knowledge to start teaching them about health. I would like you to start teaching that, if you don't mind."
"I'd be honored to, Professor." Hank McCoy smiled.
"Excellent. As for your science class, that could go to Jean. If you are up to it." Xavier said as he looked at the red-haired woman.
"I'm actually looking forward going back to teaching. I'd love to teach that class." Jean told the Professor, who nodded.
"Now, as for the arts class, I was wondering if you could take over that Warren." Xavier turned his attention to the winged mutant.
"Sure, I can do that. I had a major in arts." Warren told the Professor.
"Thank you. Betsy, if you could take over my class of English. I'd really appreciate it." The Professor asked the purple haired woman.
"That would be no problem, luv." Betsy smiled at the Professor as Warren wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
"Those are all the classes that I have planned out until we can get some new teachers here. All of you will be assigned to that one class to teach all levels. During that time, you won't have to teach in the Danger Room. I thought it would be better if we had an instructor in there for full time. And Remy, since you know a lot of material arts and the kids seem to like you. I was wondering if you would-" Charles began to say, but Gambit stopped him in mid sentence.
"No problem, mon ami." Remy said to the Professor. 'Dis gonna be fun.' He thought to himself.
"Very good, I believe that settles this meaning then. You may all leave, except for Ororo and Remy. I'd like to speak with the two fo you." Xavier told the group. The adults headed out of the room, except for Warren who went over to Remy.
"I wanted to apologize for my behavior earlier. I did not know the whole truth and judged you right away." Warren apologized to Remy. "Can you forgive me?" The winged mutant asked as he held out his hand.
"Sure, ain' like y' de first one to make a mistake in deir lifetime." Gambit accepted Warren's apology and shook the blond man's hand.
"Thank you." Warren bowed his head as he turned to leave the room just as Sarah entered.
"I heard a voice in my head that said to come to your office." Sarah told the adults as she walked further into the room.
"Yes, I called you down here. There is something we wanted to discuss with you." Xavier said to the young girl, who looked confused. She looked over at Remy, who picked her up and sat her down in the chair in front of the Professor's desk.
"I have the papers right here." Ororo picked up a folder sitting on the table next to her and carried them over to the Professor.
"Thank you." Xavier smiled at Storm as he took the folder from her. "Now, we've heard about your parents, and I am terribly sorry about them." Xavier began to say. He noticed the young girl look sad at the mention of her dead parents. "We have gotten papers for you to be adopted, that is if you wish to."
Sarah's eyes widened. "Who would I be adopted by?" She asked the Professor. "I don't want to leave this place, it's nice here and I have friends and people don't stare at me like I'm a scary person." She told them. Her eyes were beginning to water.
"You don't need to worry. You wouldn't be leaving the mansion. Someone here has offered to adopt you." Xavier explained to the girl, who was wiping away the tears.
"Who offered to take me?" Sarah asked as she felt a hand rest on her shoulder. She looked up to see Remy standing behind her.
"I have, petit." Gambit told her. A smile quickly spread across Sarah's face as she jumped up from her chair and hugged Remy, being careful not to poke him with the spikes in her arm.
"Thank you, thank you!" She cried into Remy's shirt. "So that means your going to be my daddy then?" She asked.
'Mon Dieu, who would of thought I'd be called dat dis early?' He thought to himself as she smiled down at her. "Guess so, petit." He told her.
"All you have to do is sign the papers, and everything will be legal then." Xavier said to them. Sarah let go of Remy so he could sign the papers.
In the Kitchen
"We so have to go out and celebrate now that your back!" Kitty said excitedly to Rogue, who was standing by the counter eating her eggs.
"Yeah, you gave us a scare there, chica. But that was so cool how you beat up Logan." Jubilee told her southern friend.
"Ah still feel bad about all that. Ah apologized ta Logan. He said it was alright, but Ah still feel like everythin' is my fault." Rogue told the group as she placed her fork down on the table.
"It's not your fault you were possessed by that freak of nature. No one here blames you for it either."Wanda reassured her. She looked over at Bobby and raised an eyebrow. The Iceman was playing with his pancakes. "Eat it, Drake. Don't play with it." She growled as John kissed the side of her face.
"I have to make a bridge for the syrup to go under." Bobby defended himself to the black haired girl. He continued on piling up the pancakes.
"I don't know how you can deal with him." John whispered to Lorna.
"I have my ways." The green haired girl said as she walked over to Bobby and took a pancake from him.
"Hey, that's mine!" He whined just as Remy entered the kitchen. Bobby tried to take the pancake away from Lorna, but she ate it.
"What's Drake whinin' about now?" Remy asked Rogue as he wrapped an arm around her waist.
"He's tryin' ta build a bridge for the syrup and Lorna took one of the pancakes from him." Rogue explained as she leaned her head against his chest.
"It was a good idea!" Bobby shot back at Rogue.
What was the point of buildin' that? Jono asked him telepathically.
"There has to be a bridge for the little pancake people to cross. Otherwise, they would fall in and drown. And it wasn't a stupid idea!" Bobby yelled at them. He saw John laughing at him. He grabbed a pancake and threw it at Pyro, hitting him in the face.
"Hey, that almost hit me!" Wanda growled as John picked up his bowl of cereal and threw it at Bobby, who ducked and it hit Piotr instead.
"Now you're in for it." Bobby whispered as he saw Piotr pick up the platter of eggs and toss them at Bobby, hitting the Iceman, Lorna and Kitty.
"Pete!" Kitty yelled at her boyfriend.
"Sorry Kitty." Piotr apologized, just as he was hit by a pancake in the face.
"Mebbe if be best if we leave?" Remy whispered to Rogue as they watched the group start throwing food at each other. On one side there was Wanda, John, and Pietro. On the other was Iceman, Lorna, and Kitty. A new group was formed when Jubilee and Jono went to help Piotr.
"Look out!" The southeners heard someone shout. Rogue ducked as eggs headed straight for her and hit Remy in the face.
Five Minutes Later
"I am glad to hear everything is going well for the two of you." The Professor smiled at Jean and Scott as they headed for the kitchen.
"I remember everything. I was found by these men, who helped me out of the lake. Then I traveled around a bit until I found a job at the restaurant that Kitty, Bobby, Lorna, and Piotr went to. It's like being here brought them back." Jean told the two men as they entered into the kitchen to find a food fight was going on.
The groups had split up into two teams, Wanda, John, Pietro, Remy, Rogue, and Lorna. On the other was Kitty, Jubilee, Bobby, Jono, and Pete. There were eggs, bacon, sausage, cereal, and pancakes all over the kitchen walls and floor.
"What is the meaning of this?" Scott asked as he walked into the kitchen, immediately the food fight stopped.
"Bobby started it!" Kitty said as she pointed to Iceman.
"No, they did."Bobby shot back.
"Gambit, you are supposed to be more mature than this. You're an instructor here, I would of thought you would of acted more grown up than this." Scott said in a harsh voice.
"Wait, Gumbo's an instructor? What are you teaching?" Jubilee asked.
"De Danger Room and it's called havin' a little fun, Cyke." Remy shot back at Cyclops.
"Darnit, this means we have to be nice, otherwise he will make us work extra hard." Kitty whined as she sat down on the floor.
"You will all be cleaning this up and be doing some extra-" Scott began to say when Jean cut him off.
"Gambit, don't you dare throw that pancake." Jean warned as she saw Remy pick up a pancake off the floor. The Cajun smirked as he threw the pancake and hit Scott in the face.
"You're going to pay for that!' Scott yelled as he found some eggs on the floor and scooped them up and threw them at the Cajun.
'Are you made about this Professor?' Jean asked Xavier telepathically.
'Of course not, I know this will all be cleaned up. Have fun.' Xavier smiled at the group as they all started the food fight over again. Jean raised her hand to protect herself with bubble before a piece of bacon hit her.
Xavier watched from a distance at his team of X-Men. 'Hopefully these moments of fun and peace will remain. Oddly enough, I feel things will be changing soon. I hope I am wrong though.' He thought to himself.
Egypt
A hooded man entered an ancient pyramid that had to be more than five thousand years old. He walked down the narrow corridors holding a torch to see where he was going. He continued until he reached the middle of the pyramid where hydrographic's were spread across a large wall.
The man placed the torch into the ground so that he could remove his hood. His face was covered in a long purple tattoo that ran from his forehead down to his chin. He quietly kneeled down in front of the wall and began to speak. "Please forgive my lateness, master."
The man did not dare to look up as he heard the winds enter the pyramid and a weak voice began to talk. "You best make sure it never happens again, Mesmero. Have you kept watch on my horseman?"
"Yes my master. I am sorry to report, Archangel has broken out of your control. He now resides himself with mutants called the X-Men." Mesmero answered.
"I should have gathered more power before I placed it into him. He would still be under my control. Did the Shadow King do as I expected him to?" The figure asked.
"I am happy to report, he did." Mesmero told the figure.
"I shall have to gather more energy for new horsemen. That is the only way I will be free of this hell hole." The figure growled.
"Do you wish for me to bring you Archangel back?" Mesmero asked the figure, his face still not looking at his master.
"No, bring me a new Death. As well as three others for Plague, Famine and War. Then I will be able to be free of this prison that holds my body." The figure growled.
"As you wish, my master. Is there anything else you want me to do?" Mesmero asked.
"Yes, gather an army for me. I want to make sure this time no one stands in my way when I am released." The figure ordered to its lackey.
"Of course, Apocalypse."
The End . . .
No, this story is not over yet. I was going to continue in on here with the Lucas stuff, but there are some things I want to add in before that happens. Thank you to everybody who has taken their time to reviewed this story :) (hugs you all)
Roguechere: I couldn't leave her being possessed by the Shadow King or Malice that would be too mean, even for me. I thought the food fight would be a nice little change, since something bad has happened in almost every chapter of here, it's about time they had some happy moments. (Hugs ya) thank you so much for reviewing this story :)
loneraven: I could never break them up, well. . . maybe. I love addin the quotes in, they make it more fun, just gotta find some more for the next story. Yep, the Lucas part was a bit foreshadowing, he is going to cause so much trouble when he comes, well not him exactly. Hope this was quick enough for ya :) (hugs ya) thanks so much for reviewing the story. :)
Chica De Los Ojos Café: hehe, I think it's time they had some cute moments, otherwise it gets depressing they keep gettin separated. There will be plenty more cute moments in the next story. I hope this was a quick update for ya. (Hugs ya) thank you so much for taking your time to review this story. :)
enchantedlight: I'm glad you enjoyed the last chapter, as well as the others. I hope the this chapter was a quick update for ya. (Hugs ya) thank you so much for reviewing this the last chapter and this story. :)
Nightcrawler03: hehe, I love being mean, and don't deny it, I know you do too. Especially after what u did to Kurt that one time. Hope ya enjoy the story as you continue to read on till the end. (Hugs ya) thanks for reading this :)
firestorm13: (gives ya plush Remy and Rogue dolls that are brand new) now ya can squeeze em, just make sure the stuffin' doesn't come out. Then again, I got five million of em so I can always give ya new ones. I didn't explain it in here, I gotta go back and do it, the reason why Dirge didn't like Rogue was because he could sense Malice around her, cause Mal was watching Rogue and keepin close. When Malice was gone Dirge warmed up. I agree with ya, accents are so cool, I love hearing them, writing them is a bit hard, especially when all the ppl with accents are in one room. (Hugs ya) thank you so much for reviewing the last chapter and this story :)
Coming Soon
A figure stood in the shadows as she watched the group fight off their attacker. She growled as she saw the one man unsleath his claws and dig them into his enemy. "Your going to pay, Wolverine." She snarled as an SNIKT sound was heard. She flinched as two metal knives shot out from her knuckles, but immediately ignored the pain.
"Hi, ya are the new kid?" Rogue asked as she shook hands with a boy around her age. She had never seen him around the mansion before and heard they were receiving some new students.
"Yeah, I just arrived here. I don't really know where I'm going. Maybe you could show me around?" The boy asked her.
"I'd love ta, sugah. Mah name is Rogue, what's yours?" She asked him.
"Joseph"
Charles Xavier watched in horror as the left side of the mansion started to collapse from the roof. 'My God, they are all still in there.' He thought to himself as he turned to the figure that was laughing in the sky. "Stop this now!" He yelled.
"Oh no father, I don't think so. I see you care more about these X-Men than your own son. Well guess what daddy, it is time to pay for abandoning Davie all those years ago." Legion smirked down at him.
