AN: Again, I will be using lines from the novelization version of X3.
We were waiting for Logan when he came into the jet room. We- Bobby, Kitty, Colossus, and myself- were all dressed in our X-Men uniforms. "Remember how you told Bobby our uniforms were in order? Well, guess what just came in the mail!"
"We're coming with you guys," said Bobby and I at the same time.
After much convincing from all of us plus Storm and Hank, we all ran on the jet. Hidden from the eyes of everyone, I snuck John's lighter under the seat again, where I would remember to get it and give it to him eventually.
After what seemed like forever, we arrived at Alcatraz. We landed on the roof. It was dark and hard to see the Brotherhood. We all got off in our own special way. Kitty phased herself and Bobby and he looked sick. Hank and Logan jumped. Storm flew out. I went invisible, floated down and appeared in front of everyone. We formed a line, all seven of us. We didn't seem like a great match for Magneto's army, but we would do our best.
There was a moment when Magneto said something to his army, but we couldn't hear it. John immediately looked at me with a look pleading me to leave this fight. Magneto had said to kill us all. I shook my head slightly, letting John know that I wasn't leaving my friends. When he stepped into the light, I saw a tear roll down his cheek. He really did care if died during this battle. I didn't want to die, but I couldn't abandon my friends.
Once the fight began, I was to go invisible and distract the mutants before Logan and Hank came and killed them. I floated from side to side, from in front of them to in back of them. And it worked. I confused them so much, they never saw Logan or Hank coming.
Then, they overpowered us. We were forced back. It was at that moment that Logan had Bobby go off to fight John as a distraction. Kitty had gone after the boy, hoping to beat Juggernaut there. I didn't really have a job, so I went invisible to make John didn't kill Bobby. I knew John was stronger.
But as the fight continued, Bobby transformed. He became the literal sense of his code name Iceman. He knocked John out. Once he was gone, I went visible to make sure John was ok. He was fine. He woke up a minute later. He woke up at the same time Jean started destroying everything.
It was chaos. People were running faster than ever. Then, I got my idea. Xavier had said I can stop the most powerful mutant. That mutant was Jean. I grabbed John, made us both invisible, went into the crowd, went visible again, and yelled for everyone to gather behind me in a large clump. They had no idea what I was doing, but they did as I said. Once they were done, I concentrated every fiber of my being on creating a large enough box to encompass everyone. It worked. The box was huge, the largest I have ever created. But it was also taking a toll. After just a few minutes, my head was pounding. I didn't know how much longer it would hold. No, it would hold as long as needed. If that meant I died, so be it.
It was the exact moment that I felt rather than saw people come up beside me, one person on each side. They each took my hands. From the left, a voice said, "We're with you." Kitty.
And from the right, "No matter what happens, Liz." John. My best friends had come to give me enough strength to keep me going. I didn't say anything. I'm not if I could at that point, I was sobusy keeping up that box.
Finally, Logan made it to Jean. They spoke for a few seconds, then he killed her, stopping the destruction. I collapsed, no longer making the box. Many of the X-Men went to Logan and Jean. But Kitty and John stayed with me, making sure I was going to be ok. John eased my head to the ground so I wouldn't fall and hurt my head more than the pain it was already in. He said, "Liz, you ok? Liz, stay with me." It was then the world around me went black.
