THIS STARTS INTO X-MEN 3 MASSIVELY, BIG SPOILERS IN THIS

He was gone… Dead… Everyone knew about it. The announcement was made by Professor Xavier that morning. There were a few who seemed to be in a state of disbelief- as if they really didn't want to accept that he was gone.

Rosie sat in her lone seat in Literature, staring out the window. Class had since been long dismissed. She hadn't noticed though. Ororo sat down on the chair next to her and took Rosie's hand. "There are many times when we all need to move on for the greater good of those around us. All of us hurt, he wouldn't want you to linger on it though."

"I just found out this morning… But I knew… I saw it… I thought it was a dream." Rosie said in a monotone voice, tears slipping down her cheek.

Ororo gave Rosie a confused look." What do you mean?"

Rosie replied, her voice even softer," He was there…Scott… Alkali Lake," Professor Xavier came into the room, listening closely," Jean was there, she told Scott to take off his glasses, and he did, but she put protective lenses into his eyes… They kissed but she did something… I don't know what thought…" Rosie stopped. She stared out of the window," I didn't want to believe it… I couldn't believe it… I saw him leave, he wouldn't stop to talk, and maybe if he stopped or I made him stop, this wouldn't have happened."

Xavier came close to her side," You can't blame yourself. This was a warning, Rosie, you couldn't have stopped it, had you done so you would have been changing the course of history, and the repercussions that Scott had received, would have fallen upon you," Xavier's hand came to rest on Rosie's shoulder as a gesture of condolence," Child, you have much to learn in such a little amount of time."

Rosie looked to Xavier, a bit startled, recognizing the voice," You… You won't be able to…"

Xavier shushed her," I know, and I know that you know. Don't fear, I am confident that you will learn. I am cinfident that all thise around you, who are able to will teach you. You are a very special child, you have very special abilities, and you will learn to control them, it will just take time and patience. Ororo, would you excuse us for a moment?"

"Of course," Ororo said then got up and headed out.

"You and Scott had a special relationship- one that most would have frowned upon, didn't you?"

"Yes, sir,"

"It's going to be hard, all that is about to occur. There is nothing that you see that you should make an effort to stop- no matter how much it threatens those you care about, is that understood?"

"Yes, sir."

"You've seen the great battle?"

"Yes, sir,"

"During that, I need you here, to watch the kids. After that, there will be someone here that I am positive you are going to want to be here for after. Rosie, I need you to buckle down and work hard to learn and contol your powers, and what ever more talents show themselves. Promise me that you will work hard."

Rosie looked from the window to Xavier," I promise I will professor."

"Good girl," Xavier turned himself around in his chair and towards the door," Don't give up on John too soon, and stay strong through all that you know is coming," Xavier added as a mental note then left the room.

"Memories aren't always of the past," Rosie whispered to herself as her gaze returned to the window.
