Disclaimer: I own nothing, I wish I owned X-Men, but I don't see it happening in this lifetime or the next.
They had been driving for forty-five minutes now and Hank was beginning to get worried. "Excuse me, but are you sure you know the way to the airport? I have been there many times and it has only taken twenty." He told the driver.
"We're going to a different airport. There is a private jet there." The driver replied as he peaked into the rear view mirror to see Hank yawning for the tenth time in three minutes. "I've driven this road hundreds of times, I know where I am going. Perhaps you should take a nap, you seem very tired." The driver told Beast.
Hank rubbed his eyes. "Maybe you are right. A little nap would be . . . " Before he could finish his sentence, he'd fallen asleep.
The driver smirked as he took out his cell phone and auto dialed the first number. It rang for two times before someone picked up. "Did you get him?" The voice on the other line demanded.
"Yes, he fell for it. This was too easy. We'll be at the cabin in less than an hour." The driver said over the phone.
"Good job, I shall see you there." The person on the other line was about to hang up, but remembered one other thing that needed to be said. "And Stryfe, don't mess this up."
"Don't worry Mesmero. I won't." Stryfe snarled as he hung up the phone.
X-Mansion-Professor's Office
Jean knocked on the door to Charles Xavier's office. She waited until he gave the okay to come inside. She opened the door to find him sitting at his desk with a bunch of papers in front of him. "I am sorry, did I catch you at a bad time?" She asked him politely.
Charles looked up from the papers and shook his head. "No, of course not. I just needed to go over these applications to the school. I've already add the girl Logan had found yesterday. I believe these others would make excellent students as well." He told her with a smile.
"Really? Who are they?" She asked him as she peaked over to look at the papers.
"Well, I guess you have a right to know who they are, since you will be teaching them soon." Xavier said as he handed her the folder. On each paper had information about the mutant and a picture of him or her. "The first young man goes by the name of Sam Gurthie. He is seventeen years old and lives in the southern states. He comes from a fairly large family." He explained to her as she turned the page.
Jean continued to flip through some of the pages looking at all the students while trying to memorize their faces. She finally looked up at the Professor. "When will they be coming here?" She asked him.
"All of the students already had a field trip around the mansion. I believe you were off on a mission with Psylocke, Angel, and Nightcrawler when they arrived. However, there is one student that was unable to make it, so I had to reschedule him. His name is Joseph. He should be here either tomorrow or the next day." Xavier told her. He folded his hands and rested them on the desk. "What may I help you with, Jean?" He asked her, knowing she didn't come here to talk about the new students.
Jean hesitated before she began to speak. "I've been hearing this voice lately. Like when Scott and I went outside to help Logan," She paused for a second when she recalled what the voice had said in her head. She shuddered before she continued. "When Scott and the others were hurt, the voice told me to kill the person who shot them. I've never heard a voice that violent before." She told him.
"Perhaps you were reading the man's mind?" Xavier suggested. "He might have known you were a telepath, but nonetheless, I shall look into this. It may also have to do with what happened to you while you were gone." He said to her.
"They came from my head. They didn't come from someone else." Jean leaned back in her chair in frustration as she tried to remember what had happened after she was swept away by the water in Alkali Lake.
"Have there been any other signs?" He asked her.
"Yes, I had these dreams before we went on that mission against William Stryker." She closed her eyes as she began to remember them. "In them I was surrounded by darkness. And then a fire appeared behind me, but every time I turned around I would wake up." She answered as she opened her eyes.
"I shall look into this, and if you have any more of those dreams or the voice comes back; come talk to me as quickly as possible." He told her. She nodded.
"Thank you for your time, Professor." She thanked him with a small smile as she stood up from her chair.
"It is no problem, Jean." He said to her as she left the room.
Kitchen
"Are you sure this will work?" John whispered to Wanda as he hid behind the counter. She was standing off to the side of the door.
"Yeah, it will. I called Drake to come down into the kitchen, as soon as he does . . . " She gave her boyfriend an evil smirk as she heard footsteps in the hallway walking to the kitchen. "Get ready." She ordered him.
As soon as the person's foot entered the kitchen, Wanda hexed a big bowl of honey at the person. The honey covered the person's entire body as they stumbled back into the wall. John then popped out of his hiding spot behind the counter and threw a bucket of feathers onto the person.
"Hey, Lorna I-" Bobby came into the kitchen. His mouth dropped open when he saw Lorna covered in honey and feathers.
"Sorry, Lorna. It wasn't meant to hit you." Wanda apologized to her mad roommate.
"You want a war. You'll get one." Lorna growled at Wanda, and then glared at John. "Come on, Robert." She grabbed Bobby's hand, not caring that she got honey on his shirt.
"Maybe we should have made sure it was him coming into the kitchen first." John mumbled as he went over to Wanda's side.
"Yeah, I feel bad now. It wasn't supposed to hit her." Wanda sighed as she leaned her head against John's shoulder. "You don't think they'll try to get us back, do you?" She asked him.
"Nah, her only ally is Bobby. The worst he could have done was put water balloons in my bed, and he's already done that. I think we're safe." He wrapped his arms around her and held her close. "Besides, if they do anything, we can always get them back."
Lower Level of the Mansion
The elevator doors opened and Logan walked out of them and headed down the hallway to the Infirmary. He had meant to check on Rogue this morning, but had gotten side tracked. He had to make sure X-23 hadn't run off or harmed anyone. So far, it seemed like she was liking the mansion, but that was only what he thought.
He opened the door to the Med. Lab and stood in the door way. He saw Remy in the same spot the younger man had been in last night holding Rogue's hand. The bags under the Cajun's eyes told Logan that he most likely hadn't gotten any sleep the night before.
Logan didn't say anything, just stood there watching the southern couple. He had his doubts that Remy would actually stay and be there for Rogue. A part of him didn't trust the Cajun mutant, but seeing him sitting with Rogue all night long started to make him rethink that. Gambit could have gone to his comfy bed in his room and had a good nights sleep; instead, he stayed awake the whole night with the woman he loved.
Logan gave a half smile as he turned to leave the Med. Lab. 'She's in good hands.' He thought to himself as he walked toward the elevator.
Back in the Infirmary, Remy caressed Rogue's bare hand with his gloved one. He couldn't remember the last time he had stayed up for this long. Even back home in New Orleans during Mardi Gras he never stayed awake for thirty, or maybe forty hours. He had lost count after everyone had gone to bed.
A few people had come down to visit Rogue in the morning. Scott and Jean were the first ones to visit her, then Professor Xavier, and then Kitty and Peter. About an hour ago, Lorna and Bobby had come down to had come down and brought him a sandwich. They stayed for ten minutes before they had to leave. Both of them kept talking about a 'special plan.'
He had placed the sandwich on the night stand and had gone back to watching Rogue. If he felt hungry later, he might eat it then. He had done something he hadn't done since he was little: he prayed. He prayed that Rogue would wake up and be fine and everything would go back to normal.
He sighed again as he watched her beautiful sleeping form. He would give up everything just so she could wake up. He swore, once she was awake again, he would hug her and kiss her, not caring if her powers knocked him out or killed him. He just wanted to hold her.
"Please, chere. Wake up." He whispered to her as he leaned his head against the mattress of the bed.
Girl's Dorm
X-23 walked out of her new bedroom at the mansion. She got along well with her roommates, Wanda and Lorna. Also, Logan had come to visit her when she got up in the morning. She still had a hard time believing he was sincere and wasn't just using her.
"Hey-cutie-looking-for-me?" She heard a familiar male voice ask her. She gave a low growl as she turned to the left to see Pietro standing there with a smug grin on his face.
"Actually, yes I was. I believe I wanted to rip you open yesterday, didn't I?" She snarled at him and unsheathed her claws.
"You-like-me-just-admit-it." He told her, making sure he kept his distance incase she decided to attack him.
"Why would I want to date someone as annoying as you? And why don't you speak like a normal human being?" She asked annoyed.
"Because-the-ladies-love-it-when-I-talk-this-way. And-admit-it-you-love-it-too." Pietro stepped a bit closer to her.
"Well, this is one lady that doesn't like it. And if you keep talking like I'm going to hurt you." She threatened him.
"No-you-won't!" He said reassuringly.
"Yes I am." She shot back.
"No-you-won't."
"Yes I-." She stopped herself, realizing she sounded foolish. "What will it take to make you leave me alone and stop talking like that?" She asked him with a growl.
"A date with me." He gave her a sly grin.
"What's a date?" X-23 asked him. Pietro raised an eyebrow at her. How could she not know what a date was, everyone knew what going on a date meant.
"You and me go out to some nice place and hang out." He answered in the best way he could think of.
"Why would I want to spend more time with you?" She asked him.
"Because-you-love-me-and-I'll-keep-talking-like-this-if-you-don't." He answered her. X-23 gave a sigh in defeat.
"Fine. We will go on a date." She told him as she turned around to leave, only to find him standing behind her also.
"Pick you up at seven." He told her as he leaned down and quickly kissed her on the lips before speeding off to his room.
Rec. Room
Jubilee and Jono sat on the couch eating a bowl of popcorn while watching Titanic. "Those poor people. They were just enjoying a cruise to America when their boat begins to sink." Jubilee sighed as she popped another piece of popcorn into her mouth.
And of course, most of the rich people live while the poor ones get killed. Jono stated. On the screen it showed all the people in the water, trying desperately to hang onto their lives.
"I've always been afraid something like this might happen to us. Every time someone goes on a mission, I keep praying they come back safely. I remember I cried when Miss. Grey didn't return. I didn't want Rogue, Wolvie, or anyone to go." Jubilee said softly as she leaned her head onto Jono's shoulder.
Hopefully, none of that will happen. I was so scared when yer got shot. I thought I might lose yer, like I lost Gayle. He told her. She looked up at him and raised an eyebrow.
"Who's Gayle? Wait, is that the name of your ex-girlfriend?" She asked him.
Yeah. She got hurt because of me, I didn't want the same thing ter happen ter yer. He wrapped his arm around her to bring her closer to him.
"It wasn't your fault what happened to her. What happened to me outside wasn't your fault either. It's not like you were the one who shot me. " She tried to reassure him. Over the past few months, she had been trying to make him more confident about himself, instead of blaming every problem the world had on himself.
But I could of- Before he could finished, she kissed him on the cheek, causing him to blush. What was that for? He asked her.
"Because I love you, silly. And there was nothing you could have done. The only thing that could have been different was you got shot instead. If that happened, I swear that freaky green guy would be dead!" She told him.
I'm so glad yer safe. Hopefully, that leg will heal soon. He said to her.
"It'll be fine. I never had stitches before, so that was kind of cool. Except for when Jean was putting them in, that was not fun." She smiled as she leaned her head against his chest. They watched the rest of the movie, and eventually fell asleep in each other's arms.
David opened his eyes and looked at the cement ground he was laying on. 'Where am I? How did I get her?' He thought to himself, not knowing he was broadcasting his thoughts.
"Aw, did you have a nice nap, Davie?" He heard a taunting voice say to him. He looked up to see Lucas standing there, and then began to remember what had happened.
"Leave me alone." David growled as he got to his feet. His head was killing him and his stomach hurt.
"I don't think so. I brought you here for a reason. You want to know why?" Lucas asked with an evil smirk.
"Why?" David asked as he glared at the blond haired man.
"Well, do you remember when you were little and mommy dearest had told you that you would meet daddy one day?" He asked.
David didn't know where Lucas was going with this, but he did remember his mother saying that to him. "Yeah." He answered.
"Well, guess what? I found daddy. Apparently, he replaced his own flesh and blood with other kids that aren't even his own." Lucas's grin widened when he saw the shocked look on David's face.
"Why would I believe you, you're a liar." David stated as Lucas began to circle him like a vulture.
"I was shocked too when I saw him. Professor Charles Xavier, headmaster of a school for 'Gifted Youngsters.'" Lucas told him. "I met him a few months ago, didn't know who he was until he said his name. Seriously though, I really hope we do not lose our hair like he lost his." Lucas shook his head.
"What does he do at this school?" David asked, becoming a bit more curious.
"He helps mutants with their powers. Most of them are younger, but there are also adults. I believe there is one there named Scott Summers." Lucas grinned. He couldn't wait to tell David this next part, knowing it would break his heart. "He considers him 'the son he never had.'"
David clenched his hands into fists as he looked down, not wanting to face Lucas or anyone else that might have been in the room. "All I wanted was a father." He whispered as a tear rolled down his cheek. "The one I had was off fathering others."
"The man needs to be punished for his crimes. He left you. You had problems with your mutation when it developed. Where was he? Helping others." Lucas told him as he stood in front of his other half. He held out his hand to David. "You do know you are the most powerful mutant on this pathetic planet, don't you? While others only have one power, or if they have multiple, they are weak powers. You, on the other hand have three extremely powerful powers." Lucas smirked as David raised his head to look at him.
"You of course, have a strong Omega level telepath, telekinesis, and pyrokinetic powers. When I had told Ian of what our dear father had done, he agreed to help. Together, with all our powers combined we become an unstoppable Legion." He stated as a ring of fire surrounded them. "You might as well agree to join us, your telepathy might be strong, but we possess the other two powers." Lucas stated to him.
"I don't care what you possess." David glared at Lucas. "The only thing I want is for my father to know how badly he hurt me for not being there." He told him as he grabbed Lucas's hand. A bright yellow light engulfed both men.
When the light died down, a lone figure stood with brown and blond hair. His eyes were blue, brown, and mixtures of green. "Your going to pay, father." He no longer went by the name of Lucas or Ian. This was David Haller's true self, Legion.
