AN: Back to being in her mind. Thanks to my reviewers!

Today is officially the worst day ever. Today is Xavier's memorial service. He died yesterday. I wasn't there, but everyone felt strange the moment he died. We all felt like... like something had been stolen- taken- from us. Then Storm and Logan came back and said Jean had killed him.

I sit here today, next to Rouge, wishing I could have said goodbye in person. The tears come easily for all of us. I need someone to comfort me. Bobby's helping Rouge and Kitty, not a wise move seeing as how Rouge's already upset that she can't touch him. I have no one to help me.

I remember the last meeting we had, when he told me about my barriers. He said they can hold back even the most powerful mutant's power. It was like he was telling me to come with him, protect him. Or maybe he was just telling me this for something coming later on in life. I just wish I had been there to save.

I can see Logan from here. He won't sit with the rest of us. No one knows why. But he's not the only one standing alone, hiding from everyone. Mystique is in the woods behind the section I am sitting in. She's hiding out, saying her own, personal goodbye. I'll go talk to her after.

Storm's finished speaking. Rouge had this great idea that all the students place one rose one Xavier's grave and say a personal farewell. She's going first since it was her idea. I'm next. I get, place my rose, and stand, thinking to myself, I'm sorry I wasn't there to save you. It won't be the same without your guidance here to help us. Goodbye, Professor. I'll miss you.

I walk away so Bobby can come up next. I walk over to Mystique, hiding behind the trees. "It was beautiful," she says.

"Yes. It was perfect for him. He would be glad to see you here, Mystique."

"Raven."

"What?"

"My name is Raven. I'm regular now. I should start getting used to my real name. Please, Elizabeth, call me Raven."

"Ok. So where will you go now, Raven?"

"I'm going to exact my revenge on Magneto."

"How?"

"By telling the president everything he wants to know about Magneto's plans, his whereabouts. Everything. Remember, I was his most trusted mutant. I know everything about what he's doing." She smiled. It was a smile full of payback.

"Go get him, girl."

"I need your help. Can you get me there? Like, go invisible and take me to them?"

"Sure. Let me tell Storm." I left her standing there. I only told Storm that I was taking her away. I didn't tell her why. "I'll be gone for a few days."

"Ok. I'll see you when you get back."

I went back out to Raven, grabbed her arm, turned us both invisible and we left for DC. Once there, I got a call on my cell phone from Bobby. Rouge had gone to one of the clinics for the cure. He said which one he was going to so he could try to find her and asked me to meet him there. I flew faster than ever that day. I made it in time to see Bobby. I went visible and said to him, "Find her yet?"

"No. Go invisible and look at the line of people." I nodded and did so quickly. She wasn't there.

I was about to go visible again when I saw John and Bobby talking. What was he doing here? I watched Bobby walk away. And I saw John blow up the building. I went visible for a second, enough time for Bobby to tell me he was going to help these people. I decided to have a little chat with John. I floated over to him, turned visible, said, "Hi. Got time to chat? Great." I grabbed his arm and made us both visible. I took us to the nearest forest I could find.

I dropped him before I went visible so that I would have time to create an invisible box around him. I did and became visible. He tried to walk away, but ended up running right into one of the walls and fell over. "What was that?" he asked once he got up again.

"That was part of my power. I can create invisible walls. I've trapped you in a box."

"Why?"

"So I can ask you what the hell that was."

"It was for Magneto. Part of his attack on the cure."

"Rouge might have been in there!"

I saw his eyes flash with worry for a split second then it was gone and he was regular old John again. But that second was enough for me to know he still cared about us, despite whatever he says. "So? I don't care anymore. All I care about is getting rid of that cure and you."

"Good to know I'm there," I said sarcastically. I was angry. "Well, you'll be happy to know the barriers are gone. You can go back to your precious Magneto now."

"I'm sorry, Lizzy. I'll call you later." He sounded sincere. I knew he still loved me. But how did I feel?

I went back to the mansion and met Warren Worthington III. Bobby and I agree his code name should be Angel. He's pretty good-looking. And he's polite and sweet. All in all, your perfect guy. I might be falling for him.

AN: I would like to point out that this is my longest chapter ever written by me! Ok review people!
