I had a lot of fun writing this chapter, I hope you enjoy it :)

Disclaimer: I own nothing, I wish I owned X-Men, but I don't see it happening in this lifetime or the next.

"Hank, you got mail!" Scott called on the intercom down to the Med. Lab.

"Thank you, Scott, I shall be right up." Hank called back.

"Anything else in the mail, honey?" Jean asked as she wrapped an around her fiancé.

"I did get a letter from my brother, Alex." Scott responded to her as he opened the letter and began to read it.

Hey Scott,

I've been giving it some thought, and I guess I could attend your and Jean's wedding. I could drive up there since I don't have the money for a plane ticket. Hopefully I'll be able to make it up there in time, if not then, I'm sorry.

Alex Masters-Summers

"It's been a while since I've seen him. How long has it been?" Jean asked Scott.

"I think five years or more. I wonder why he never called though." Scott looked confused at the letter, but then shrugged it off. Hank entered the room.

"You said you had something for me?" Hank asked the couple. Jean picked up the letter lying on the desk next to her and handed it to him. "Thank you." He gave her a warm smile as he began to open the letter and read.

"Who's it from? I saw on the return address it came from Washington, D.C." Scott asked him.

"Oh my." Hank said excitedly as he continued reading the letter. "There is a science and health convention and they want me there as a guest of honor. I am so flattered. There are supposed to be people from all over the world." His blue eyes sparkled as he finished the letter and folded it back up. "They apologized for the short notice, but a cab is supposed to pick me up tomorrow. The convention will be held in two days."

"Congratulations, Hank." Jean let go of Scott to hug her friend. "I'm so happy for you." She told him.

"Thank you, thank you. I must go get packed immediately." He told the two of them as he exited out of the room as quickly as possible.

"It looks like everything is turning out great for everyone." Scott said as he snuck up behind Jean and wrapped his arms around her waist. She leaned back into him.

"I have to agree." She closed her eyes and smiled.

Bobby, John, and Piotr's Room

Bobby laughed silently to himself as he patted John's bed, making sure there were no lumps visible. 'This is going to be so great. I got to this on film.' He thought to himself. He hadn't heard someone walk into the room, until that person tapped him on the shoulder. Bobby quickly turned around, afraid that it might have been John. Though he knew the pyromaniac was out with Wanda at the movies, there was a chance he could have come home early. To his relief, it was only Lorna.

"What are you doing to John's bed?" Lorna asked him as she glanced down at the bed.

"Well, you remember how a few weeks ago when I was asleep and John put my hand in water?" Bobby asked her.

A small smile came across Lorna face as she folded her arms over her chest. "I remember you ended up going to the bathroom and ended up going into your ice form." She answered him.

Bobby grumbled at the memory of the incident. "Well, this is payback. I heard that him and Wanda were going out, so I filled a bunch of water balloons up and put them under the sheets. I've noticed he always jumps on his bed, without looking at it. As soon as you lands on the bed, he'll be soaking wet." Bobby told her proudly.

"What would happen if he got a warning?" A sly grin came across her face. Bobby's mouth dropped open.

"You wouldn't tell him!" He gave her a quick glare, which soon faded. He could never get mad at her. "Besides, I know how to stop you from telling him." A smile crept on his face as he moved closer to her.

"What are you doing?" She asked as she took a step back. Before she got a chance to run, he tackled her onto his bed and pinned her beneath him. He then began to tickle her.

"You sure you want to tell him?" Bobby asked her. He couldn't help but smile seeing her laugh.

"I promise I won't." She laughed as he continued to tickle her. "Please, I can't take any more." She begged him. He finally stopped and placed his hands besides her head as he gazed down at her green eyes.

"You're so beautiful." He whispered as he leaned down to kiss her. Before their lips touched, they heard a loud racket coming from the outside

"What was that?" Lorna asked as she tried to sit up. Bobby got off of her and hurried to the window.

"We got to get out there." He told Lorna as he took her hand and they ran out of the room.

In the Rec. Room

"How did y'r class go with de Professor?" Remy asked Rogue. She was sitting next to him on the couch, her head on his shoulder.

"Ah don't wanna talk about it." She whispered to him.

"It takes time, chere. Soon y'll be able to touch." He reassured her as he kissed the top of her head where the haired covered her skin.

"Ah just wanna be able ta touch someone. Ah wish Ah had any other power but this one." She told him as she sat up.

Remy sighed. He knew she would be able to control her powers one day, but she had to believe it herself too. "Chere, y'll-" He began to say when Logan walked into the room sniffing around.

"What's wrong?" Rogue asked him as the southern couple turned to look at the Canadian.

"I smell someone on the grounds that Cerebro isn't pickin' up." He growled as he went for the back door.

"Hey, what's wrong with Wolvie?" Jubilee asked as she and Jono ran into the room. They had seen him stalking down the hallway.

"He said that someone was on the grounds." Rogue answered her. She got off the couch, followed by Remy. The four young mutants followed Logan out the door and saw him pacing around the backyard.

Maybe he got it wrong and there is no one on the grounds? Chamber whispered to Jubilee, who shook her head.

"No, he is never wrong on these things." She responded to him.

"Well, this is too easy." A male voice echoed through the backyard. Wolverine gave a low growl as he unsheathed his claws.

"Where are ya?" He snarled. Suddenly, a figure dressed in all red leapt at him and tackled him to the ground.

"Right here." The person said, half amused as he got up, but so did Wolverine. "So you're the guy that Stryker wanted me to kill? You seriously don't look that hard. I was expecting someone a little taller, maybe more built and looked a bit like Arnold Schwarzenegger. But I guess we can't be picky, can we?" The man laughed.

Wolverine glared at the man. He recognized him from the files they had found in Russia. "Like I give a damn what ya think, Deadpool." He growled again.

"Aw, darn. You learned my name. That just takes away the fun." Deadpool grumbled as he pulled out a sniper rifle and a blade in his other hand. "It's been a while since I've had to shoot at a target, especially a moving one. But as they say, no time like the present to find out." He smirked under his mask.

"Why don't ya just shut yer trap and fight already?" Wolverine snarled as he ran at Deadpool.

"Shouldn't we help him?" Jubilee asked the other three. Before anyone got a chance to respond, bullets flew at them from out of the trees.

Where the bloody hell did they come from? Chamber cursed as all four of them hit the ground.

"Not sure, mebbe it be best if we move inside, non?" Gambit suggested to them.

"I agree on that." Jubilee whispered as they stood up slowly. A few more bullets came at them, but before they could get down again one hit Jubilee in the leg. "OW!" She cried as she fell to the ground.

Jubilee! Chamber screamed as he rushed to his girlfriend's side. Are yer okay? He asked in panic.

"It hurts." Jubilee cried.

"Chamber, get her to de Med Lab. I suggested dat no one be out here until we find de little coward dat is hidin' himself." Gambit ordered to them.

"But what about Wolverine?" Rogue asked him. Chamber picked Jubilee up and ran her into the house as quickly as possible before any bullets came their way.

"De person seems to be aimin' at anyone dat tries to come near him and dat red guy." Gambit told her his theory. "He should be fine."

"What's going on here?" Jean and Cyclops exited the mansion and into the backyard. They had seen Chamber run by with an injured Jubilee in his arms.

"Some freaks that wanna kill Logan are attackin'. If Ah were you, Ah would get down." Rogue told the couple.

Cyclops looked at Deadpool and Wolverine fighting. It seemed that both of them were even. Wolverine sunk his claws into Deadpool's arm, but it quickly healed and he blasted Wolverine in the chest. Scott hadn't heard Rogue's warning until he heard gun shots being fired at them. The bullet grazed his upper arm. "AH!" He shouted as he crumpled to the ground, his other hand immediately went to cover the wound.

"Scott!" Jean cried as she rushed to her boyfriend's side. "Oh my god, are you okay? Let me see the wound." She instructed to him, trying to stay calm.

'See what happened? You know what you should do. Kill the little mongrel that did this to him.' A voice in the back of Jean's head shouted at her. She tried her best to ignore it and keep her concentration on Scott.

"Yeah, I'll be fine." Scott told her. She sighed in relief.

'I can see you don't love him. If you did, you would have killed the person who did this to him.' The voice came back to taunt her. For a brief second, her eyes glowed golden.

'Shut up, I love him more than life itself. Just leave me alone.' Jean shouted at the voice.

'Hehe, not in this lifetime. You still owe me.' Thevoice sang.

"Maybe if Ah fly up there Ah can find the guy in the trees and tell ya'll where he is." Rogue suggested to them.

"Non, y' ain' goin' up dere, it too dangerous." Remy chided her.

"Well, at least it is doin' somethin' besides gettin' shot at here. What happens if someone else comes out." She told him as she slowly stood up. "Ah'll be-" She was unable to finish her words, when she felt a sudden pain in her chest. She slowly looked down to see a bullet hole in the middle of her shirt. Second later, blood started to show up on it.

"Rogue!" Gambit shouted as he stood up instantly, not caring if anything were to happen to him. The only thing that was important was the woman he loved. He took her in his arms and slowly laid her down. Her eyes were watery as she looked up at him. "I'll get y' to Henri, y'll be fine." He told her, not sure if it was to convince her or himself.

"Ah feel cold." She whispered to him as Gambit lifted her up in his arms and quickly took her to the Med Lab.

'See what happened? Another one got away. The girl will probably die and it will be all your fault.' The voice in Jean's head returned mockingly.

"Oh my god. I hope she is alright." Scott said worriedly and started to feel responsible for Rogue getting shot as he normally did when the team was on a mission.

"Guys, what going on?" Lorna demanded to know and her and Bobby exited the mansion. "We saw Rogue, what happened to her." She asked Jean and Scott.

"Guys it's not-" Scott began to warn them, when they heard more shots being fired. Bobby instantly pulled Lorna to the ground as the bullets went over their heads.

"What the hell is going on? We saw Wolverine fighting that guy over there. Who keeps firing at us?" Iceman asked them, he noticed that Jean was trembling.

"I've had enough of this." Jean growled as she stood up, bullets were fired at her, but she immediately put her hand up and stopped them with her telekinesis.

From a distance, a figure stood in the shadows and watched the man with metal claws attack the man dressed in red. A soft growl escaped her lips and an SNIKT sound was heard. Two metal claws came from her knuckles. "Your going to pay, Wolverine. If it's the last thing I do." She vowed.

Wolverine sunk his claws into the Deadpool's arm, but the other man just kicked him and freed the limb. "Yer good, I gotta admit that. It took me long enough to track you down, it would have been a lot more helpful if you stopped moving all around the world."

"What the hell ya talking about?" Wolverine asked in a dangerous tone. He had smelled Jubilee and Rogue's blood and were infuriated by it.

"Like you don't know. I tracked you down to Mexico about a month ago, but then you moved again and again." Deadpool told him. "But at least now you'll stay put and die so I can get my reward from Stryker." He chuckled.

"Too bad no one told ya that the guy is dead." Wolverine snarled as he lashed at the other man, who quickly dodged the attack and flipped over Logan.

"He's dead? Well isn't this a big kick in the pants. Wasting all my time trying to kill you for nothing." Deadpool sighed as he put away the gun and blade away. "By the way, Gaunlet is hiding in the trees firing at your friends." He told Wolverine, and then there was a sudden scream as Jean ripped Gaunlet away from his hiding spot and dropped him on the ground. "Ouch, hate to be near that woman during her PMS time. Have fun, my friend." Deadpool waved as he disappeared into the shadows.

Wolverine turned his attention to the person responsible for his friends being injured. Before he was able to make a move, two claws that looked identical to his were sticking out of Gauntlet's chest. 'What the hell?' He thought to himself as he began to approach. He sensed another person on the grounds, that smelled very familiar, himself.

Gauntlet dropped to the ground and a girl, that was about the same age as Rogue or Jubilee was standing behind him. She had brown hair and skin and was wearing a completely black uniform. Two claws extended from her knuckles as she glared at Logan. She raised her arm at Wolverine, claws pointed at him and began to shout at him. "You're next, Weapon X."
