A young man that had jet short black hair and around the age of twenty-three stood looking at workers trying to rebuilt the mansion as fast as possible. 'I wonder if he imagined this mansion? From the looks of this place, there is no way a mansion should have been here.' He thought to himself.
"Hey, can I help you?" He heard a girl with brown hair walk up to him. "Oh, are you here to see the Professor? I'm Kitty Pryde and I'm a student here." Kitty introduced herself.
A small smile spread across his lips as he looked down at the girl. "Nice to meet you, little lady. My name is Pete Wisdom. Maybe you could show me around your," He paused and looked over at where the mansion used to be. "yard."
"Yeah, the mansion kinda got destroyed by the Professor's son. It's a long story. The mansion is getting rebuilt now and everyone lives in the lower levels that weren't destroyed. It kinda sucks. The Danger Room smells of sweat and nasty stuff." Kitty explained to him. "What's in the suitcase?" She asked him while glancing down at the suitcase in his left hand.
"Files Xavier wanted me to get for him." Wisdom answered her.
"Oh, I'll show you to the Professor right away." She said cheerfully. She took his hand and lead him to the stairs that lead to the lower levels.
"Do you often grab guys that show up or am I just lucky?" He asked in an amused voice. Kitty let his hand phase through his and he almost lost his balance.
"Don't push it, Wisdom." She told him as they went down the stairs.
"So how long have you been staying here?" Pete asked, trying to change the subject.
"For a few years now. It's been a lot of fun here." Kitty told him as they walked down the hallway. "What about you? Like, what do you do for a living?" She asked him.
"I'm an ex-spy." He answered as they rounded the corner.
"Oh, that's so cool!" Kitty said as she turned to look at him. "Why did you stop?" She asked.
"People got hurt by it. Especially with my powers." Pete answered.
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that." Kitty apologized and looked down for a moment. 'I'm noticing a pattern. Almost everyone's powers has hurt someone or a lot of people. Thank god mine isn't some blast or thingy like that.' She thought to herself. "I can phase through things, which I guess you kind of figured out back there." She laughed silently to herself. "What's yours?" She asked.
"Can project hot-shards of heat from my fingertips." Pete answered her. "Something else you want to know about me?" He asked as he leaned down to look at her with a mischievous smile on his face.
"Um, no that it's." Kitty told him. They heard a clattered coming from the opposite direction. A man of all metal was heading their way. "Hey Piotr!" She greeted her boyfriend as she ran over and hugged him.
"Hello Kitty." Piotr smiled at her.
"Oh, um." Kitty said as she turned back to Pete. "This is Pete Wisdom. He is, like, here to see the Professor and stuff." She introduced them.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Wisdom." Piotr shook Pete's hand, almost crushing it.
"Nice to meet you too, Tin Man." Wisdom said as he yanked his aching hand back.
"Come on, I'll show you to the Professor." Kitty said as he grabbed Pete by the arm and dragged him down the hallway. "I'll see you later, Piotr." She called back.
"Nice boyfriend." Pete whispered sarcastically as they approached a closed door.
"He is really sweet and kind. His grip only hurt probably cause he was in his metal form. When he is normal, he is like a big soft teddy bear." She stated with a cheerful grin. "I'll see you later, Wisdom." She said as she began to leave.
"See ya, Pryde." He called back as he knocked on the door before walking into the room. He closed the door behind him and found Professor Charles Xavier sitting behind a metal table.
"It is nice of you to join us, Mr. Wisdom." Charles greeted the younger man. "Were you able to find out any information?" He asked him as Pete took a seat in a chair before him.
"Yeah." Wisdom answered as he placed his suit case on the table and opened it. "In here is all the files about everything that has ever happened at Alkali Lake." He told him as he pulled out a file that was at the bottom.
"There's things in there about kids drowning and people disappearing by the lake. But this one," Pete opened the file and handed it to Xavier. "Has to be an urban legend." He stated as he sat back in his chair.
"What exactly happened?" Charles asked as he opened the file and saw a picture of Alkali Lake.
"It said over a thousand years ago, this tribe of people that lived near the lake. They were really weak and other tribes would come and take their food and women and run off. They had no weapons or anything to protect themselves. One day, this kid went down to the lake and this spirit came force and offered him protection along with his village. The spirit asked for nothing, since they said it felt nothing.
The kid talked to the leader of the tribe and he agreed. Soon other tribes tried to attack and the spirit or guardian, whatever, drove the other people off. The tribe praised the spirit and started to worship it. The spirit didn't understand what they were doing, since it had no feelings. After sometime, it started to like being worshiped.
Later on, the people started to grow careless about the guardian thingy and ignored it. It started to grow mad at the people and ended up destroying them. It then flew to other tribes and started to destroy everything in its path. Finally, some warriors were able to drive it into the lake and seal it there." Pete explained to the Professor.
"Very interesting." Charles commented as he read the files.
"It sounds like a story you tell to a kid so they don't talk to strangers." Wisdom rolled his eyes. "I forgot the name they called this thing, but in English translation it's called the Phoenix."
Down the Hallway
"This is so exciting." Jubilee squealed as she wrapped her arm around Jono's as he lead her to the exit. "Where are we going to first? I ate already. So we don't have to go to dinner. Besides, you kinda can't eat. Maybe we could go to the mall before the movie starts?" Jubilee asked Jono.
Sure, that sounds great. He told her in a cheerful voice. He couldn't remember the last time he had been this happy. All of his life had been misery with his parents and his last girlfriend. Finally, things were looking up for him. I'll go anywhere yer are. He said, bringing her closer to him.
They walked down the hall until they found Bobby sitting in an armchair by himself with his arms folded over his chest. "Hey, what's wrong?" Jubilee asked him.
"Nothing." Bobby replied quietly.
Yer brooding, somethin's wrong. Jono stated.
"Scott's stupid brother. He's been hitting on Lorna all week. I tried talking to her about it and she said he is only a friend and nothing more. But I know Alex wants to be more than that. He even admitted it to me." Bobby grumbled. "I swear, I just wanna freeze the guy and dump him in a lake."
"Aw, I don't think you have anything to worry about. Lorna adores you and wouldn't think about going out with Alex." Jubilee assured him.
"What about with Rogue? I thought we were perfect for each other, but that ended up with her leaving me for another guy." He shot back at her.
But did yer love Rogue as much as yer love Lorna? Jono asked him, tilting his head to the side and waited for the other man's answer.
Bobby sighed. "No, I didn't love Rogue as much as I love Lorna. That's why I can't bare to see her leave me for him. I love her more than life itself. I would do anything for her. She is my life." He whispered.
Jubilee smiled and rested her hand on her friends shoulder. "Then go tell her that and make sure she knows she is your world. Just don't sound creepy. It's kind of a turn off. All you have to do is be around her as much as you can and show her you love her. Believe me, she won't even think of loving Alex as much as she loves you." Jubilee said to him.
"Wow, I think that's the best advice I've ever heard from you." Bobby stated as she looked up at her surprised.
"Well it was either that or I could sing." She suggested.
"Oh god no." Bobby covered his ears and got up. "I'm going to go find Lorna." He said as he walked off quickly.
"What's wrong with my singing?" Jubilee pouted while turning to Jono.
Yer have a beautiful voice. Jono stated as he hugged. Let's get goin' He said as they left for the stairs,
War Room
Rogue returned to find Joseph still sitting in the same spot she had left him. "Are ya sure ya didn't want anythin'?" She asked him.
He turned around to glance at her and smiled. "No, that is alright." Joseph answered. She was about to take a seat when an older young man entered the room and walked over to her.
"Bonjour, chere. Haven't seen y' all day." Remy smiled as he greeted Rogue. He gave her a quick kiss on the lips before her powers could kick in and absorb him.
"Been wonderin' where ya went off ta, swamp rat." Rogue grinned back. "Oh, by the way. This is Joseph." She introduced him to the white-haired man sitting down at the table.
"Nice to meet you." Joseph gave a fake smile as she shook Remy's hand.
"Same." Remy said as he eyed the younger man.
"Joseph just arrived here and doesn't have a lot of friends, except for meh. Ah thought the two of ya would get along great. Ah'll leave ya boys alone." She said as she turned and left the room, not noticing Joseph checking out her rear, but Remy did.
Joseph got up from his chair and looked at Remy. "Well, as Rogue introduced me. My name is Joseph. What's your name?" He asked in the friendliest voice he could muster up.
"To my friends, de name's Remy LeBeau. To my enemies, it's Gambit!" Remy told the younger man. "Y' can go ahead and forget dat first name right about now." He growled and turned to leave. "See y' around, Magneto."
'Like I'm scared of you.' Joseph thought to himself as he glared at Remy.
Outside the Med Lab
Jean stopped at the Infirmary to visit Hank. Her hand barely brushed the door when it return. 'Just give up. You know you can't win.' She heard the voice shout as her eyes quickly flashed bright yellow before turning back. She clutched her head and fell to her knees.
"What do you want? Why can't you just leave?" She yelled back at the voice. Her head was throbbing and she did not hear the footsteps approaching her.
'Because you owe me. You should be dead, but because of me you are alive. I will be free soon.' The voice shouted as it disappeared again.
"Jean? Are you alright?" She heard Scott's voice ask. He took her into his arms and hugged her. "Please, tell me what is going on?" He begged her.
"Nothing. I've just been having these headaches. They'll go away soon." She told him as she buried her head into his shirt.
"Jean, I know this is more than just a headache. Please, tell me what it is so I can help you." Scott told her. "Don't you trust me?" He asked.
Jean looked up and him and closed her eyes. 'I do, but I don't want this to hurt you.' She thought to herself. A tear slid down her face as she finally gave up and decided to tell him half of what was going on. "I keep hearing this voice in my head. It yells and it won't stop at times." She responded.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Scott asked. He run his fingers through her red hair.
"I didn't want to worry you. I did enough of that when I was missing." She said in a sad voice.
"Jean, I love you with all my heart. If there is something wrong don't be afraid to tell me. If you have a problem, then it is mine as well." Scott told her as he took her hand in his. "We'll get through this together." He assured her.
"Oh Scott." She whispered. He leaned forward and kissed her delicately on the lips.
Outside the Danger Room
"This is all your fault we can't go out tonight. You just had to go and ruin the car." X-23 growled at Pietro.
"It was not my fault that the car drove too slow. I blame Chevy. They need to make cars that can go as fast as I can." Pietro defended himself.
"So people can go to their death's faster?" X-23 rolled her eyes. "You're such an idiot." She snarled.
"You love me." He grinned at her and wrapped an arm around her waist. A soft SNIKT sound was heard and X-23 held her two claws in front of Pietro's arm.
"How much are you willing to bet on that?" She asked.
"If you didn't love me, you would have left me in the mansion when it blew." Pietro stated as X-23 retracted her claws.
"I'm starting to wish I left you." She grumbled. "But then again, can't let a pretty face get a scratch on it." X-23 said.
"See." He said as he was about to kiss her when his sister walked down the hall. "What do you want? We are in the middle of something." Pietro glared at his twin.
"Like I really care. Have you seen John?" Wanda asked them.
"Last I saw he was with that blond chick." X-23 answered.
"That reminds me, has that Joseph guy been bugging you too?" Pietro asked.
"Yeah, I swear he asks me one more question about my life or what I am doing, I'm going to hex him into the next state." She growled.
"He probably wants information on me. Somehow there was a Quicksilver fan club made and he wants my secrets. Why else would his hair look the same as mine?" Pietro raised an eyebrow.
"Cause maybe he is a mutant and has white hair." X-23 rolled her eyes.
"Besides, no one would join that club." Wanda said. "If you look at him closely, he kind of reminds me of our loving father." She stated sarcastically.
"Ew, you were checking him out?" Pietro looked disgusted at her.
"No, you moron!" Wanda yelled. "I said if you look at his face, he kind of looks like Magneto." She growled.
"Eh, I'll look later." Pietro yawned at her. "Now if you don't mind, we were in the middle of something."
"Fine. I'll leave you two to your two second love marathon." Wanda said as she turned to leave. She shook her head as she left her brother and his girlfriend alone. She walked down the hall to find what John was up to and make sure Alison was within fifty feet of him. She turned the corner and found them.
John was standing up straight and his eyes were wide in confusion. Alison was pressed against him and kissing him. Wanda took a step back and clenched her hands into fists that started to glow blue. 'How could he?' She thought to herself.
Nevada-Sinister's Base
"Rock, paper, scissors." Two male voices said in unison. Both of their hands landed straight and they glared at one another.
"Stop cheating and pick something different." Scrambler growled at the other man.
"I did, you're the moron who keeps on copying me. Why the hell Essex wanted you and your pathetic friends to help is beyond me." Slab shot back. Two females sat at a table in the far corner watches their teammates argue.
"I swear, Sinister did something wrong when he recloned Scrambler. Then again, this guy Slab is a complete moron." Vertigo sighed as she watched the two. Finally, the leader of the Marauders, Scalphunter, stood up and walked over to stop the fight.
"If you both don't shut up, I will shoot a bullet through both your skulls." Scalphunter threatened.
"Don't talk to my teammate that way." A white-haired man stood up and grabbed Scalphunter. "The reason why Sinister wanted us here was to replace you losers. The Nasty Boys can at least accomplish what we are told unlike you people." Ruckus, the leader of the Nasty Boys said.
"Why don't you guys just decide who is going into the lab to meet Sinister before the guy gets even more pissed and kills us all?" Arclight suggested to the two leaders. "I swear, men are idiots." She snapped.
"Like I am really going to take advice from a woman." A man with purple ooze surrounding his body said to Arclight, who got up from her chair. Vertigo did the same and approached him.
"Want to repeat that to me again?" Arclight asked as she pulled out a knife she kept up her sleeve.
"And who the hell names himmself Gorgeous George when they look like a pile of shit?" Vertigo added as the two females surrounded him.
"I say we just kill these freaks and make it look like an accident." Harpoon grinned as he grabbed a harpoon and energized it. Two other Nasty Boys stepped force ready to fight.
"Hey, come on guys. Can't we all just get along?" A Nasty Boy who had stayed out of the fight by the name of Morph suggested. Both teams glared over at him.
"NO!" They both shouted.
"Just a suggestion." Morph whispered as he sat down.
"What the hell does Sinister want anyways? Another stupid file mission?" Scrambler grumbled and folded his arms. He did not hear the door hiss open nor the tall silver faced man with red eyes step out. "From what I've heard he is afraid of this Apocalypse guy and is..." He paused for a moment, noticing the scared look on everyone's faces. "Um, hiya boss."
Sinister's eyes narrowed and he raised his hand. A bolt shot out of his hand and hit Scrambler in the chest, sending the Marauder flying back into the wall. "Anyone else wish to express their opinions?" He asked in a low voice while gazing at his lackeys.
"No Sir!" Both groups shouted and stood up straight.
"There is a pyramid in Egypt I want you to find. Go there and report if people are there." Sinister ordered and turned around.
"Um boss." Ruckus spoke up and took a step forward. "If you don't mind me asking, what's so special about this pyramid?" He asked, praying he would not be killed off.
"It is where HE was sealed in. Sources have told me that a group of people are trying to free HIM. I need to know if it is true or not." Sinister answered as he walked out of the room.
"Well, Scrambler's dead." Prism stated as he checked the other Marauder's pulse.
"Why does he not like this guy?" Gorgeous George asked as the group walked over to one of Sinister's portals and set it to transfer them to Egypt.
"From what we heard, this guy Apocalypse spoke to Sinister over a hundred years ago. He offered him immortality, his powers, and advanced scientific equipment. He was supposed to repay Apocalypse by setting him free, but left him. Instead, Sinister started working on ways to get rid of old Poccy if he was ever freed. And so far, he hasn't a clue. If Apocalypse comes back, he is going to be ticked off with Sinister." Scalphunter told them. "At least that's what the files said." He shrugged.
"You broke into his files without him knowing?" Ruckus asked a bit surprised. No one was able to get past the scientist without him knowing.
"I didn't, LeBeau did." Scalphunter replied.
End of Chapter 2
Note: yeah, I kinda made my own little story for the Phoenix, instead of it coming from outer space, at least I think that's where it had come from. Also, looked in a comic for Pete Wisdom's accent and it was mostly all normal.
Loneraven: hehe glad ya liked it. And no, sorry I can not kill them off. The Phoenix will be arriving in chapter 5. Hehe, and don't worry, there will be some Cable/Domino coming up. And Rems is not going to be happy with what happens in the next chapter. Thanks for reviewing

firestorm13: unfortunately, Joseph is going to do some damage to remy and rogue's relationship. As for the new horsemen, nope, it won't be Storm. In the comics, John was a author of a bunch of romance novels, so I was kind adding in some of that. Kind of hard to picture him a author in the movies. I agree with ya, Sam and Alison would make a cute couple, I'm thinking of putting them together soon. Thanks for reviewing

Roguechere: Wolverine of course had to be a horsemen in the comics, the man has appear in everything for some reason.

Although, I am thinking of doing a fifth horseman and one of the people you mentioned is that horseman coughfirstonementionedcough. The person who is going to be Plague will be revealed in the next chapter. Thanks for reviewing
Chica De Los Ojos Café: hehe, yep Wisdom is going to bring a lot of trouble for Kitty and Piotr. The guy is actually a lot of fun to write. As for Remy and Joe, this was not their last encounter. It gets meaner later. Thanks for reviewing
Next Chapter: Plague: next horsemen is revealed. And Rogue discovers something. And there is some romance issues,
