ON THE ROAD AGAIN:
The wind blew in Logan's face as he sped down the road as fast as he could. He'd "stolen" Scott's bike, just for the hell of it but is it really stealing if the owner is dead?
Last time he saw Scott, Scott had been headed to Alkali Lake and all Logan wanted was to tell Scott that everything was all right but stepped over the line when he'd mentioned Jean and then he had killed her.
It was the only way to stop the Phoenix but it hurt like hell for him to have to do that. He loved Jean and would have defended her from anything to the ends of the universe. Maybe if the troops hadn't angered her, maybe it he had gotten Jean to focus when he had her in the med-lab, maybe if he had gotten to her before Magneto had gotten to him, maybe if all these things had happed, then maybe the woman he loved would still be alive. Hell, if he'd gotten Jean to focus in the med-lab, maybe Xavier would be alive and still running everything.
Logan continued to drive as fast as he could; using the high speed button Scott had used to modify his bike with. It could get you anywhere across the US in less than an hour.
Finally, Logan found himself at the new Golden Gate Bridge site. He was doing the same thing Scott had the first time Jean died. He was going to the scene where the woman he loved had died. As he turned off the bike and stared at Alcatraz his com-link went off.
"I haven't been gone an hour." Logan said answering his com-link.
"Logan, Xavier is alive." Strom said.
"No, that's impossible! I saw him die myself! Jean killed him! He's dead!"
"She killed his body, Logan, not his mind. He transferred himself to a body who was brain dead. He's with Moira Mactaggert on Muir Island."
"He call?"
"No, Moira called Sean, who told Syrian, who told me and my class."
"So the students know."
"Yes."
"You think this might be a trick? An enemy telling us that Xavier's alive so they can infiltrate the mansion?" Logan asked really not knowing what he was talking about but he couldn't believe that Xavier, a man who had literally been ripped apart, was alive.
"No, I don't think so Logan. I really think he's alive. When will you be back?"
"I don't know. After what I did..." Logan began but didn't finish his sentence cause the water suddenly became violent and what was left of the Alcatraz building began to shake.
" Logan?" Strom asked when he didn't finish his sentence, " Logan are you all right?"
"Hold on Strom." Logan said as he watched what was left of the Alcatraz building fall and a man 20 ft tall stood it its place and announced, "I am Apocalypse!"
"Storm we've got a problem."
"What kind of problem?" Strom asked. As her time as an X men she knew there were many kinds of problems. Some were easy to handle but others not so much.
"Ain't the Apocalypse the end of the world?"
"Yeah why?"
"Cause there's a 20ft guy at Alcatraz saying He's Apocalypse. I'm on my way back now." Logan said as he jumped o the bike, started it up and speed away as fast as the cycle could take him.
THE MANSION:
Rogue sat in her room, wearing a green long sleeve shirt and pants with her hair down and black gloves, when Peter walked in and shut the door behind him.
"How's Bobby?" Rogue asked as Colossus sat on the end of Rogue's bed.
"Up and about. Physically he's fine but mentally he's hurt. He loves you ,you know but I think he'll be fine. What about you? Are you all right?"
"Pete, I almost killed my boyfriend! You think I'm gonna be all right?"
"Yeah I do."
"The cure was temporary, can't touch people anymore."
"You can't touch anyone but me." Peter said making his skin turn to metal.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Remember when we were in the danger room, and I gave you my metal to protect you from the missile?"
"Yeah what about it? I took your power."
"Da, but did you notice that I was still in my metal form? Did you notice that you didn't hurt me?"
"But you shook our head afterwards as if I had hurt you."
"I did that cause I'd never given anyone my powers before and it felt strange. Besides, I was hit upside the head with a piece of flying metal. Rogue, I've wanted to tell you this for awhile now but I never got the chance. You the most beautiful woman I've seen here."
"Pete..." Rogue said but then Colossus, who had just metaled up, stopped her talking by kissing her as if they were going out. Rogue's skin metaled up and then when they parted she metaled down as did Colossus
"I like you Rogue. Just think about that." Peter said leaving the room and letting Rogue think about what had just happened.
