Today's Daily Installment. And I apologize for the death in the last chapter. When I start writing ideas pop into my fran...er...head...I've been watching Stargate too much...

I own nothing! I am just a broke college student! Now enjoy the story!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sam sat in the garage of the Xavier Institute working on her motorcycle. It had been two weeks since her father's death. She straightened and wiped the sweat and grease from her brow.

"Working hard?" Kurt asked after teleporting into the room.

"Nah. I just like working on my bike. It's relaxing," she replied.

"I was wondering if you aren't doing anything tonight, if you'd like to go out," he said, his face turning a darker blue as he blushed.

Sam smiled. "I'd like that. What time?"

"Be ready at seven," he replied. Sam nodded and Kurt vanished from the room. He reappeared outside where Cassie and Sage were sprawled on the lawn depsite the snow.

"How'd it go?" Cassie demanded.

"She agreed. Though…I don't know if I can do this," Kurt said, wringing his hands nervously.

"Kurt, she loves you. You love her. What's so complicated about it? Her brother doesn't care what you look like. Her friends won't care, and she doesn't care," Sage said.

"Besides, you won't know what she'll say until you ask," Cassie put in.

"You are right. I suppose I am more nervous if she says yes," Kurt said. He smiled at the two teens. "Thank you," he said to them and vanished from view.

"Think Sam'll say yes?" Sage asked, stroking Cassie's hair with his right hand.

"I think she will. She cares a lot about him," Cassie replied, floating two snowballs in the air.

"Been practicing I see," he said.

"Yeah," she said, a tinge of red to her cheeks.

"Well, we've been out here long enough. Wanna go in and get warm?" he suggested. She nodded and they headed into the mansion. They took their jackets off and grabbed some hot cocoa from the kitchen. They walked into the TV room and sat down on a couch. A few minutes later Sam came in, a bottle of water in her hand.

"Hey Sam," Cassie greeted. "Bike fixed?"

"Yep. I…" she began when her phone began ringing. She flipped it open. "Carter. Yeah. Go ahead and fax it over." She walked out of the room and up to her own room. Several pieces of paper were resting on the tray when she arrived. She picked them up and her eyes widened in shock and horror.

"I'll call you back. Just make sure no one touches anything where you found this!" she ordered into the phone and slammed it shut. She ran down the steps and into the sublevels where she knew the Professor was.

"Something wrong?" Scott asked as Sam entered the War Room.

"Yeah. We got very big problems." She handed them the pages of text that had been faxed to her. "This was found off-world a few hours ago."

"Oh my god…" Jean whispered. Xavier called all the active X-Men in the mansion down to the War Room.

"What's up?" Sage asked, looking at the senior members of the X-Men.

"These ruins are warnings written down by monks millennia ago on the tomb of one of the most dangerous and powerful mutants of all time. He was aptly named Apocalypse," Xavier said. "Scott, get the X-Jet ready. The X-Men are going off-world whether the SGC likes it or not."
