Med Lab
Kitty opened the doors for Bobby and Domino as they hauled the Professor into the room. McCoy looked up from his paper worked at the youths. "My goodness, what happened?" He asked them as they set him down on a spare bed.
"This guy came out of no where and attacked him. He would have been dead, but this hot guy saved him." Domino answered as she took a step back.
"Is that all you think about?" Bobby asked her.
"Well he was." Domino folded her arms.
"Oh god, we have another Kitty in the house." Bobby sighed and got a nasty glare from Kitty.
"Will he be alright? That guy said he would be." Kitty asked, turning away from Drake and looked at the Professor.
McCoy checked his pulse and nodded. "Yes, he will be fine, my little friends. He should be up shortly." He told them while starting an IV and inserting the needle into Xavier's left hand. As soon as the three teens walked out, he pulled out a needle from his coat pocket.
"But, we can't allow him to be okay." Dark Beast grinned as he uncapped the needle and injected a dark fluid into the IV. "This should keep you out of the way until Apocalypse has risen." He smirked.
Hallway
Jean had fallen to her knees and was clutching her head. 'You know you can no longer hold me back. Why bother trying?' She heard the voice shout louder into her head.
'Because' She tried to say as tears ran down her face. "AHH" She screamed again. Jean looked up to see Scott running down the hallway, followed by Warren, Betsy, and Kurt.
"Jean!" Scott yelled out to her.
'Scott, I'm so sorry.' Jean told him over their telepathic link. Suddenly, her normal green eyes turned into a fiery red-orange and an evil smirk appeared on her face.
"Jean Grey is no more. Only the Phoenix lives in this body now!" The Phoenix screeched. She stood up and held her arms up as flames engulfed her body.
"NO! JEAN!" Scott screamed as he tried to run to her, but Warren and Kurt held him back.
"There's nothing you can do. You'll only get hurt." Warren told him as he tried to keep his friend back.
"Leave me alone. I got to help her!" Scott yelled at the winged mutant, but kept his eyes on Jean. Soon the flames died down a bit, but still surrounded her in the form of a large bird. Her normal clothes were transformed. Long golden boots ran up her legs while gold gloves ran from her hands up to her elbows. The other parts of her outfit were completely black, except for a picture of a bird that shows on her chest and a long golden sash around her waist.
The Phoenix shook her head in amusement. "Humans are so pathetic. I never could understand them." She stated before she flung the four mutants into the wall. "I have some plans I need to take care of. But no need to worry, I will finish you off last. That way you can see your world destroyed before you all die yourselves." She laughed before she took off into the air and went right through the ceiling.
Scott, Warren, Betsy, and Kurt got off the ground and walked over the hole, that was surrounded by flames, that the Phoenix had left. "Jean." Scott shook his head and fell to his knees.
"Don't worry. We'll get her back, luv." Betsy assured him. She rested a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"Vas happened to her?" Kurt asked.
"She had been having problems. I should have been there to help her with it. Now . . . " Scott whispered as tears formed in his eyes.
"Come on, let's go." Betsy helped Scott up, who still seemed in a daze. "Warren, if you could tell the others." She asked her boyfriend.
"Of course." Warren nodded.
"I just got her back and I've lost her already." Scott could no longer hold back the tears and one escaped his right eye and traveled down his cheek. "I'll never get her back." He whispered as Betsy led him out of the room.
Warren and Kurt stayed behind and continued looking at the hole. "Zis is terrible. I feel so sorry for Scott.' Kurt murmured.
"I know." Warren shook his head as she glanced over at Kurt. "I seriously think the Professor would be better off making this place out of legos." Warren commented while looking back up at the hole. "The mansion falls apart way too easily."
War Room
Joseph glared at the door as Remy walked through. "What do you want? Come to harass me some more?" The white-haired man growled.
"As much as dat sounds, non. Rogue wanted moi to get along with y', so Remy gonna try to." Gambit told him as he took a seat across from the white-haired man.
"Why bother? You don't like or trust me." Joseph sneered.
"I'm guessin' dis is de part where I'm supposed to say, 'Non, I want to be y'r friend. We just got off to a bad start. Let's be amis.' but dat would be makin' moi a liar." Remy told him. "And as y' said, I don't like y' or trust y', but I'll try to get along with y'. Even if it kills moi." He said and quietly muttered. "Or y'."
"Fine, I'll try to get along for Rogue." Joseph said as he folded his arms over his chest. "So, how long do you plan on staying with Rogue?" He asked. Remy glared over at him.
"For de rest of my life." Remy told him. 'If y' ask one more question like dat, I'll be knowin' y' for another five seconds.' He thought to himself.
"Shame. I think she could do better." Joseph whispered loud enough for Remy to hear.
"Wanna repeat dat?" Remy glared at him and took out his playing cards and shuffled them. He stopped at the last card and charged it as a warning.
"Well, like you I am not a liar." Joseph smirked. "I think Rogue could do better than a worthless thief for a boyfriend. Seriously, what can you offer her? You two can't even touch." He stated.
"And neither can anybody else." Remy growled as he stood up.
"Ah, but I can." Joseph told the older man. "We recently found out that I can touch her without being absorbed. Can she say the same with you?" He asked, cocking his head to the side.
"Y' dare try anythin', y' won't live to see de next day." Remy threatened the white-haired man.
"But then Rogue would be mad with you, wouldn't she? Not to mention I'm a student here and that would get you into trouble." Joseph stated as Remy slowly walked around the table and stopped in front of him.
"A little note for y', I don' care if I get kicked outta here. And I ain' gonna be harassed by some Magneto-wannabe. Y' touch my femme, y'r dead." Remy warned as he turned to leave. "See y' later, Mags." He called.
Joseph glared at the older man as he left and turned around in his chair. "Shit!" He cursed. The TV remote that was sitting in front of him was glowing. Joseph jumped out of his chair just in time as the remote exploded. 'This is far from over, LeBeau.' He thought to himself as he dusted his shirt off.
A cruel smirk appeared on his face. 'Though, you have no idea how close you are coming to knowing where I came from. I can't let that little secret slip, now can I? He would be most displeased if I did.' He thought to himself.
Danger Room
"This sucks. I feel so bad for them." Jubilee sighed as she watched X-23 help Pietro up and walk out of the Danger Room.
They're still upset. It takes times. Wanda was his sister and John's girlfriend. Sometimes, things like these are hard to recover from. Jono told her.
"Yeah, but not just that. Alex is trying to ruin Lorna and Bobby's relationship. I can so tell he is. I just need to find the right time and I'm going to blind him." Jubilee growled. "He seemed so nice when we met him at Jean and Scott's wedding." She mused.
"Hey, Jono!" They heard Lorna call to them. They turned to see the green haired girl walk up with another girl following behind her.
Oh my god! Jono shouted telepathically as he shot up from his bed.
"Nice ter see yer again, Jono." Gayle said as she stopped.
"She said you knew her." Lorna stated and could tell that Jono indeed knew who Gayle was. "I'll leave you guys alone." She told them and left to find Bobby.
"Um, who's she?" Jubilee asked while pointing at the other girl.
"What? He didn't tell yer? I'm Gayle Edgerton, his girlfriend." Gayle told the younger girl, whose eyes went wide. She looked over at Jono and shook her head.
Jubilee, let me- Jono tried to say, but she backed away from him.
"How could you!" Jubilee shouted. She didn't want to cry in front of him; so instead, she ran off.
Jono shook head his head. "What? Yer were actually dating someone else?" Gayle sneered as she walked up to him.
I thought yer never wanted ter speak ter me again? Jono asked her.
"No, me parents didn't. When I got out of the hospital, they told me ter stay away from yer." She stated to him. She folded her hands behind her back and her glared at him. "Did you know that I almost died when yer hit me with yer stupid powers? It was a miracle I lived, much less walk." She growled.
I never meant ter hurt yer. Jono told her. He was having a hard time making eye contact with her. Every time he looked at her, he was reminded of when his powers manifested and almost killed her.
"Don't give me your excuses. You should be on your hands and knees begging for my forgiveness and so far I have not seen it. You took away parts of my life, and I want them back." Gayle yelled at him.
I never meant for any of it ter happen. I'm so sorry. Jono fell to his knees.
Hallway
Lorna exited the Danger Room and found Bobby at the end of the hallway looking up at the ceiling. "Hey, what are you looking at?" She asked him. When she finally reached his side, she found what he saw. There was a hole in the ceiling. "Who did that?" She asked.
"Mr. Wagner wouldn't tell me much, but he said that Miss. Grey lost control and flew through the ceiling." He answered her.
"Oh geez." Lorna shook her head. "I think I've been here longer than she has." She told him. "Which reminds me, I was talking to Alex and he said you were planning on beating him up?" She asked.
"What? I never said that." Bobby defended himself. "He is lying. The only thing I said to him was that I don't like him flirting with my girlfriend." He told her.
"That's what I thought." Lorna said as she hugged him. "Could you please not fight with him? He is my friend and I don't want to choose sides. If you don't like him, then ignore him."
"It's hard to do." He whispered to her.
"Bobby, for the last time. I could never date Alex. He is not my type. You are. If he thinks he can try to steal me away, then I'm sorry I lead him on." Lorna told him.
Bobby gave her a small smirk as he ran small circles with his hand against her back. "You mean it?" He asked.
"For the last time, yes. I love you and no one else." She stated as she pulled her head away from his chest and kissed him.
Off to the corner of the hallway, a figure stood watching the two and heard the entire conversation. 'We'll see.' They thought to themself.
Outside
Rogue sat outside and was reading her English book. She heard her friend angrily march up the steps of the lower level and look over at her. "Rogue, can I talk to you?" Kitty asked.
"Sure." Rogue replied as she folded the page over and close the book. Kitty made her way over to her friend and sat down next to her. "What's on ya mind?" She asked.
"That Pete Wisdom guy makes me mad! I just ran into him after I left the Med Lab, and he started asking me some things and I kept annoying me. I swear, he is the most annoying guy I ever met!" She grumbled.
"It almost sounds like ya like him." Rogue tried to hold back a smile, knowing it would only make Kitty go off.
"Ew, I do not like him! He is a jerk! And just because he has a nice butt, chest, and is really handsome does not mean I like him!" She stated and folded her arms over her chest.
"Repeat whatcha just said and tell meh again ya don't like him." Rogue said to her, finally letting the smile escape.
"I-" Kitty thought about it for a moment and them gasped and covered her mouth. "No, I don't like him. I love Pete. I mean Piotr! I don't love Pete!" She screamed.
"It sounds like ya do with how ya keep goin' on about him." Rogue smirked.
"No I don't. No I don't. No I don't." Kitty kept saying.
"Don't worry. Ah won't say a thing ta either of them." Rogue told her. Kitty sighed after she began to calm down.
"So, how are you and Remy doing?" Kitty asked, trying to change the topic.
"We're doing okay Ah guess. We've been going through some difficulties." Rogue told her truthfully.
"What kind?" Kitty asked her friend.
"Ah got a feelin' he doesn't trust meh." Rogue replied. "It all started when Joseph came ta the mansion. Ah felt bad for the guy, so Ah told him Ah would be his friend. Remy thinks it is more than that. From what Joe has told meh, Remy has been a bit mean ta him."
"I haven't seen the guy around. From what I heard he just sits the War Room watching TV all day. Is he expecting something to show up?" She asked him.
"He has nothin' else ta do. Ah'm the only person that talks ta him, besides some teachers." Rogue told her.
"Back to you and Remy, will you guys be alright?" Kitty asked again.
Rogue shrugged. "Ah hope so. Ah told him ta do meh one favor and that was ta be nice ta Joseph." She shook her head. "He's startin' ta remind meh how Bobby was when Ah was goin' out with him. It's like he is jealous of Joseph."
"I don't know what to tell you." Kitty said to her. "Just follow what your heart tells you to do." She told her best friend before getting up.
"Ah'll talk ta him later. We're supposed ta go out on a date tonight." Rogue stated. 'Hopefully, this won't be our last. But if he continues, it maybe.
Apartment Building 1101-San Francisco, California
A medium height woman wearing a dark blue and white suit walked down the carpeted hallway. Her black hair was practically pulled back in a bun while strands of hair fell over her glasses. She stopped at the door at the end of the hallway and knocked three times.
"You know the door is unlocked." She heard a female voice call from behind the door. The black-haired woman turned the knob and walked inside the small apartment. A TV was blaring softly in the far corner of the room. A woman with long brown hair sat on an old leather couch across from the television. "It is good to see you again, Raven. I knew you were coming. So, there is no need for the disguise." The woman told her.
The dark-haired woman smiled and shape shifted into a woman with red hair and blue skin. "It is good to see you too, Irene." Mystique told her as she took a seat next to her old friend.
"It has been a while." Irene commented. "Would you like anything to drink?" She asked the blue woman sitting next to her.
"No thank you. I've come to see the child." Mystique said to her. Irene sighed.
"I am afraid she is no longer here. She ran off a while ago. I tried to contact you, but was unable. I tried to make my husband to go look for her, but he refused." Irene told her. "A few weeks later he was killed in a car accident and I moved here."
"What? How could you let her escape?" Mystique yelled as she shot up from her seat. "Do you know where she is? Better yet, have her powers developed yet?" She asked.
"Yes, they developed while we were in Mississippi. She kissed a boy and stole his memories and left him in a coma. She can absorb people's memories by touching his or her skin. If the person is a mutant, she can steal their powers. She can become very powerful if she learned how to fully use her powers. As of right now, she is with a group of mutants called the X-Men." Irene replied.
Mystique tried her best not to look shock, but deep down she was. She had tangled with the X-Men countless of times and never knew. "Rogue? That is my Marie?" She asked.
"Yes, you two had met before. I saw it in one of my visions." Irene told her.
"I should have kept a better eye on her." Mystique growled. Irene closed her eyes and a vision of the future flashed in her mind. "What is it?" Raven asked as she bent down next to her friend.
"Go to her now." Irene commanded as she held her forehead.
"I planned on doing it soon." Mystique said.
"No, now!" Irene demanded as she opened her eyes. "Your time is running out." She said and grabbed Mystique's wrist.
"What do you mean?" The blue skinned woman asked while looking into her friends eyes.
"She will be dead by the end of the week and so will the rest of the X-Men." Irene told her. "Go now!"
"Who will kill her?" Mystique asked. "I'll find this person and kill them before they get the chance to kill her." She stated.
"The only thing I can tell you is that this person is someone she loves deeply. Unfortunately, it will also be her undoing." Irene answered in a quiet voice.
End of Chapter 5
Apparently now, this site says it is now a rule we can not write reviewer responses. They got that new little system, which I don't like. I really don't like that rule, along with a few others they have. If you want me to respond to you, tell me in the review. But I am still going to thank everyone who does review, cause it is only thanking and NOT responding. So thanks to: Loneraven, Roguechere, AngelofMercy86, BlkDiamond, Chica De Los Ojos Café, firestorm13, enchantedlight, CW, and Ashandarei. For reviewing the last chapter.
Next Chapter: Remy and Rogue break up (and yes, I do mean they do break up!), Gayle and Jono talk, Cable explains to everyone why and where he came from, and some really bad things happen next chapter.
