a/n: This is a reposting of chapter ten. I have since changed the ending of this chapter and forgot to change it on here. Hope you enjoy the ending.


When Black Fox opened her eyes she saw her family fighting each other and it broke her heart. Her enemy had taken her family and set them against each other as if they had their own civil war.

"Stop." Theressa said weakly but no one heard.

STOP FIGHTING NOW! Black Fox cried telepathically. This time everyone complied and Logan and Angel went to Theressa's side and helped her up.

"It's done." Fox said to Angel resting her head on his shoulder and then she saw Viper's gaze and lowered her head.

Viper looked at her husband and saw him lying on the ground. Tears ran down her face as she ran to him and found her worst fear was confirmed

"What did you do to him?" Jasmine asked cradling the body in her arms, getting blood on her hands and arms.

"I killed him." Theressa said her head slightly lowered and then looked at Jasmine as she said, "Jasmine listen, it was the only way to save the world from his wrath. When I was in his mind I saw those things and couldn't let them come true."

Jasmine laid her husband's body on the floor and walked over to her mother, who could see the fire and anger in her eyes and hear it in her thoughts.

"The world, Is that why you did this? To protect the world? All you ever care about is the world and the safety of mutants! You never once thought about your family!" Jasmine screamed at her mother who said nothing in objection. Jasmine was hurt and she needed to vent. Jasmine once more let tears stream down her face as she ran out of the room.

"Jasmine!" Wolverine cried but Theressa simply shook her head and said, "Loganlet her go. There's nothing we can because she's made her choice."

The X-men then left the room and headed for home.


Theressa sat in her office thinking, when Wolverine came in.

"Hey T, what are you up to?"

Theressa wiped tears from her eyes and cleared her throat as she looked from the beautiful sunset to the loving face of her father, who right now was worried about her. Theressa then glanced away from her father and tried to hide fromLogan. He sat on the window bench with her and forced her to look at him and then asked,

"Why are you crying? We won today, beat Apocalypse."

"NO!" Theressa said suddenly willing to look at him, holding up her finger telling him to stop. "I killed Apocalypse and I was the one who was in his mind when he died. A part of me is glad that he's gone and I don't have to worry about him any more but….."

Theressa's words trailed off andLoganlet her get her tears under control before she continued. When she finally did she said, "I killed part of Jasmine today! I was so tangled in my own revenge that I didn't see that she loved my enemy and by hurting him, I hurt her deeper than any physical wound. I didn't want her to go through what I went threw when I lost Chris and now because of me she will. You know maybe she is right. Maybe all I think about is the world and trying to make it a better place for mutants."

"Stop right there Theressa! You are a great mother to your girls and Michael. Jasmine's just upset because she was hurt and you shouldn't believe what she said to you today. As for everything else, there's nothing you can do about it. I know you didn't mean to hurt Jaz and I'm sure she'll see that eventually. As for killing Apocalypse you've known, as have all of us, that you were capable. I mean after all you are my daughter."
Theressa smiled threw her tears as Logan placed a hand on her face and she rested her hand in it.

"T, I know you let your anger get the better of you but it was the only way to get rid of him and you know it. You did good, kid, real good." Wolverine then took his daughter into his arms and simply held her for a few moments until she suddenly pulled away. Looking at her, he saw her scar was a dark purple. Something was wrong.

"I know that look. What's wrong?"

"Angel's leaving!" Theressa flew out of the opened window and found him coming out of the mansion's front doors.

"Theressa!" Warren said dropping his suit case.

"You are sure as hell not leaving me now!" Theressa said as Angel saw her scar changed from the purple to a fiery red with blue mixed in the middle.

"Theressa, it would be better for everyone if I left now. My wings…."

"Your wings are beautiful and I love them just as much as I love you! Didn't you hear what I was saying in the med-lab? I didn't fall in love with your wings,Warren. I fell in love with you and how much you care and how much you love me! No it wouldn't be better for you to leave! I tried that once and I hurt everyone around me! It was as if I had driven a knife into the hearts of my children and I'm not going to let you do the same! We made a promise and I intend to keep it!"

Warren searched Theressa's face and knew that she was dead serious and it would be wrong to cross her now. He sighed and drew his bride close and said, "It's not just about my wings. I'm afraid that I will turn into Death again. My physical apperence is only a mirror image of what Death is."

"Warren…."

"I almost killed you today."

"Yea but you didn't."

"But that doesn't leave out the fact that I could have done it! I don't want that to happen again."

Theressa was silent for a few moments and Warren wasn't sure what she was thinking but the silence was finally broken a moment later.

"I think its time I let you in on a secret of mine." Theressa said as she looked at her husband, who was clearly confused. "I've been running a secret team."

"A team? You mean like the X-men?"

"In a way but not really."

Warren listened to the woman he cared about most in the whole world but wasn't sure what she was talking about. How could she be running a secret team when no one in the mansion kept secrets from anyone? It wasn't that they didn't as much as they couldn't. Everyone knew everything about each other in the X-men, or so Warren had though until that moment.

"Their called the Rogues, Warren and I think they can help you."
