Chapter 13

Location: X-Mansion - Westchester, New York - 4:40 A.M

They wish to cure us. But I say to you, we are the cure! The cure for that infirm, imperfect condition called "Homo sapiens"! They have their weapons... We have ours. We will strike with a vengeance and a fury that this world has never witnessed! And if any mutants stand in our way, we will use this poison against them! We shall go to Alcatraz Island, take control of the cure, and destroy its source! And then, nothing can stop us!

Logan switched off the television.

"This was unexpected", Professor Xavier said with a low tone in his voice. "The cure wasn't good enough", Ororo folded her arms, glancing down at the bald man next to her. "Thought it was permanent", Bobby spoke up. "Then, his power is so strong", Logan looked at Bobby with a serious frown in his eyebrows.

Heading to Alcatraz Island - 7:02 A.M

Not a word was spluttered from the mutants' mouth. Only silence filled the air since they stepped onto the jet's floor. Sitting on the seats in their stunning mutant suits with an uneasy feeling. Wary faces were clearly shown. Worried and anxious. Bad thoughts started to linger around their mind. Kitty Pryde let out a shuddering sigh with her head tossed backwards, gazing up at the Blackbird's ceiling. Bobby Drake turned his head to the side to glimpse at her, who was sitting quite near to him, "It's gonna be alright" She turned to look at him and gave him a weak smile as a reply. She knew he tried to calm her but somehow, it didn't work. She started to think of her family. Especially, her mom, who was in Illinois alone. She wished she could have one last hug from her mom earlier before she went to the battle. A call wasn't enough. The word death crossed her mind. She looked aside through the round window next to her.

Location: Alcatraz Island - 9:32 A.M

As their soles were pressed against the battle floor, they found an army of mutants taking their stance. They were Brotherhood. The evil team was standing not too far from them, showing off their powers, waiting to attack. X-Men's Omegas aligned as Wolverine told them to. The soldiers that were the cure-shooters, all of them stood by X-Men. Plastic machine-guns were in their hands, steadily. Wolverine looked aside to Shadowcat to know if she was ready since she was the youngest. Shadowcat gave him a nod before they both turned to look straight at their enemies.

"Ambush!", Magneto yelled.

Location: X-Mansion's Cemetery Place - Westchester, New York - 3:07 P.M

She stepped on the green grass and strolled over to the tall grey stones that aligned, perfectly. Two beautiful white roses were gripped in her hands. She stood in front of the first gravestone which was from the left. She read the name that was carved on the stone, 'Scott Summers' Her heart withered when she thought of him, who was like a brother to her. Scott's death was unexpected. He had sacrificed himself for the battle. The way Scott was killed by the vicious Brotherhood was unforgettable. Of course, he was killed before Kitty's eyes. But, she was proud that X-Men won the battle. She crouched down to place one of the roses at the grave and stood back up to move on to the next grave. 'Jean Grey' How beautiful it was to see a couple buried next to each other. Logan had made her wish came true; to kill her. For his lover's sake, he didn't want her to suffer with the Phoenix inside. Kitty bent down to rest the last rose at Jean's grave.

As she brought herself up to a stand, "I came here to visit them too", a familiar voice was heard from behind. She looked back over her shoulder and saw her close friend, Bobby. He walked towards her and stopped his steps when he was next to her. Kitty gave him a weak smile before gazing back at the graves. He settled down a rose at each of the tombs. "Everything happened in a blink", he said. She let out a deep sigh without an answer. He glanced at her when he didn't get a reply, "I know how you feel, you know", he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him to comfort her. She rested her head on his shoulder and a tear rolled down on her cheek, gently; She couldn't bare it. He gave her a tender friendly kiss at the head with a slight frown in his eyebrows. Then, he glimpsed down at the gravestones and said, "May they rest in peace"
