Chapter 4: A God Among Insects
John Allerdyce impatiently pushed his hair out of his eyes and waited for the gates to Xavier's School to open. He had lived here for three years, then after befriending Magneto, who was probably the most powerful mutant he knew, besides Xavier, he left the School to join the Brotherhood. Big mistake. All they did was push him around, acting like he was their slave. Then the Cure came out. The Cure rid the mutants of their power. (Why any mutant would want that is beyond me) John thought.
While they were at the Alcatraz facility, attempting to destroy the Cure, the X-men had shown up, ruining their plans. (God, why am I even here?) he wondered and thought back to what caused him to resort to coming back here. Magneto had been shot with the Cure. The Brotherhood didn't have a leader. Well, the Brotherhood didn't exist anymore. Not only because of the downfall of their leader, but because there simply was no Brotherhood to speak of. Most of the members turned human after being shot.
He thought about when he first joined Magneto and Mystique on the plane (God among insects my ass.) thought John as he sighed and picked up his bag. He headed towards the front door, knowing Xavier would be waiting for him.
It would take a while to guide himself through the mansion so he let himself fall back into his thoughts. John had fought Bobby and did a pretty good job of it until Bobby froze John's hands, making his power of controlling fire useless. (He's such a pussy. Always afraid of a good fight. That was a cheap shot anyhow.) When he woke up he was laying on the ground at Alcatraz and the place was in ruins. John walked back to where the Brotherhood met and packed the few things he had into a duffel bag, and then went to Xavier's.
(I can't believe Im here.) he thought again. Lost in his thoughts, Pyro almost lost his balance when a girl with brown hair ran past him.
"Sorry!" she yelled as she passed by.
Pyro rolled his eyes and continued walking. He walked down the hall, passing rooms, when he saw the room he used to share with Bobby. The door was open and he looked inside. It was exactly how he left it: messy. Bobby hadn't taken the time to clean it, which was unusual. He was normally a neat-freak. He smiled when he saw that no one had moved in during his absence.
He turned down a few more halls and the found himself waiting outside of Xavier's office door.
"Come in John." Charles said just as he had lifted his hand to knock. John shuddered and turned the knob. He opened his mouth to speak but Xavier cut him off.
"Welcome back, John. Go put your stuff back in your old room and find some of your friends." Xavier said turning his back on him.
"I- wait, what? That's it? I can come back? After all the things I did? After betraying you? No lecture? No anything?" he asked, his face showing disbelief.
"Yes. I can read your mind you know. I know how you thought you were doing something good. Sometimes the worst things have been done with the best of intentions, John. We'll talk a little later."
Pyro nodded and left the room. When he reached his room, Bobby was laying on his bed, reading a magazine. John stood in the doorway, waiting for Bobby to look up. When he finally did, his mouth dropped open.
"John?"
"Hey Iceman."
"What are you doing here?"
"Im back." Pyro said grinning.
