Let's celebrate! Your reviews are so encouraging. I love you guys because you make me want to write so much. YEAH, chapter reviews are amazing. The more you review, the faster I get out these chapters. Thanks to all of you we are past 150! Let's get to 200 fast and spread the news that OC stories are AMAZING! ( Whether or not your character is in it or not)

S.G and bettycrocker540….I try to highlight other characters as much as possible so I didn't want to go into detail about what was going on with Ella or Logan. I like to keep the character's perspective so you are just as surprised as Shiloh was from what was going on. This is what we know: Ella escaped, was shown on TV being captured, and Logan was going after her. We don't know how she got there or how Logan knew about anything. I rewrote a few lines in the last chapter to clarify. Sorry, sometimes I just get too deep into each character that I forget to have some clarification tips. Also: Gregarious welcome to the XMR family! I hope that you will continue to review. ^^ Animazing23 I love that you love Shiloh.

The pieces will come together. I like leaving XMR a fragmented puzzle because you never know what is really happening. Now on to a character that has had very little action time. Levi.

X-Men: Restoration

Chapter Eighteen: Levi Miller

Levi sighed as he stared at the punching bag. He sat in the chair staring at Rainer's usual spot. He missed his friend. He couldn't believe that Natalie had convinced Mystique to throw him out because Rainier had pushed too many of her buttons. Why was Natalie so special, anyway? Levi was intelligent enough to think it through, anyways. She had used her power of persuasion to manipulate even the highest in command. All of The Brotherhood except Natalie and Sean knew what the medication was for. Abby was a drone and despite that a snobby rich girl which got on his nerves…no wonder she didn't know anything. Natalie had an ulterior motive for all of this. He couldn't put his finger on it so he went to the person who would know best, Hope.

He strutted down the hallway to Hope's room and tapped on the door. Hope opened the door staring at him with murderous intent.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT?" She screamed at him as she slammed the door in his face. He amused knocked again to hear a loud groan from within the room. She swung the door open and beckoned him in. She slammed the door shut and locked it. Levi gave her a flirtatious expression…hmmm.

"Don't you dare get any ideas…I'll send you out crying." She said as she brushed back her blond blue hair. Darting her icy eyes at his. Levi looked around the room to see millions of pieces of paper posted to the walls and floor. His mouth dropped open.

"What in the world are you doing in here? Sweetie?" He said as he approached a wall to get a look at this crazy stuff written down. Hope let out a sigh.

"I'm figuring out what they are doing. Why cause a big show of things when we could have easily stolen the meds in the first place? We look like bad people yet no one has come to arrest us. Not a word. Our illusions killed fake people but that is beside the point. We look like murderers yet the law isn't being carried out. There's something more…" Hope said. Levi skimmed the sheet of paper and saw listing numbers like ones that were on the crates. He studied it. It had a sheet attached with a map of Bayville and circled locations. Hope noticed he was looking at and pointed. "Those are the locations the crates came from. They are all specific medications for cardiac seizures. They are all different types but they all originate from the same company, Fadden Medical Industries." Hope ripped off a piece of paper from the opposite wall.

"So what does this Fadden have to do with the meds?" Levi said as he glanced at other sheets of paper with scribbles and doodles he couldn't comprehend.

"Fadden is endorsed and managed by Dr. Gregory Bamback, the mutant hater. He owns 56% of the shares. Yet, he hasn't brought up that the meds had been stolen. He either is an idiot or he is behind this scheme. The question is but why…" Hope gasped as she suddenly grabbed the pencil from behind her ear and wrote something down. Levi stared at her in disbelief. Hope had gone off the deep end with these conspiracy theories. "Oh, my go….We are all in over our heads." Hope started to hyperventilate as she dropped to the ground. Levi panicking fell to his knees beside her as he wrapped an arm around her shoulder supporting her.

"It's okay Hope. It's okay, beautiful." He said as he swept a blue highlighted strand of hair out of her face. Hope breathed slowly. She sat up and nodded that she was okay.

"Levi…we are working for them." She said in a low voice as she rose. She started to pull certain sheets of paper down as she laid them on the floor. "Us, Mystique, Natalie, Fadden Industries, Dr. Bamback, THE INSTITUTION." She said as she emphasized the two last words. "I ran from them yet I now am doing their dirty work. There is no escape!" Levi shuttered as Hope went into hysterics. Levi sighed as he thought about what a beautiful girl to have her mind wasted because of this crazy theory. He couldn't understand it. The world was made beautiful yet destruction and humans destroyed it all. That was why he flirted because he found that it brought out the life in people, whether good or bad. He wanted to make people feel special because he had always felt that he wasn't. He broke a lot of hearts, due to his teasing character but he didn't care. What was it worth a few broken hearts when the nonmutants spit upon his mutation?

Why did they treat him different when he was a human being just like them? He was just as special as the person who was born with an extraordinary talent to write symphonies. They called it a mutation. They called him a mutant. He was gifted. He was gifted withstand the harsh words, harsh attacks because he was built strong. He was a stone wall. He flirted because it was a façade of weakness because he wanted them to take advantage of him because they would never know when the uppercut came to take them out during the third round.

"What is this Institution? Hope, snap out of it. You are safe here. I'll be your barrier. Just tell me so I can help you." Levi said as he held her by the shoulders as she cried.

"The Institution is an organization that wants to destroy mutant kind." Hope sobbed as she fell into Levi's stone hard chest. Levi held her. Levi saw the acid drip through the door and saw Sean and Natalie on the other side. Natalie let out a laugh.

"I guess they don't call you a genius for nothing." She said as walked in the room. She grimaced at the sight of all the papers. "You two blockheads actually came up with some crazy brain theory. Which actually is correct but one thing is wrong." She laughed again as she slid her hand across the edge of her fedora pulling it down over her eyes. Her long brown hair whipped back and forth in its ponytail. "Too bad you will never find out what was wrong. Say hello to The Reaper for me." Levi did the only thing he could which was to pick Hope up and try to escape. He heard a familiar cry as he saw Sean over Vanessa threatening her in the hallway. Vanessa grew a portal next to them and Levi jumped in. He turned back to hear the cries of Vanessa as the portal closed up shut. He was in an alleyway. Hope was crying.

"We are all but pawns to do its bidding." She exclaimed through her tears. Levi ignored her as he ran out into the street. He saw a line of people, a line that was unimaginably long. He followed it to the beginning of its origin as he loomed over the people standing in line. Some look frightened of him but they looked too preoccupied in their own worries to notice. He saw that everyone was in li ne for medication.

"I NEED IT! MY DAUGHTER, MY DAUGHTER IS GOING TO DIE BECAUSE OF THE MUTANTS!" A man shouted as he was carried out by police officers from the pharmacy. Levi stepped back into the shadow of a door post across the street as he observed. Hope was starting to come to her senses because she punched him and insisted on being let down. He felt a surge of energy spread through his body like a ripple when her fist made contact with his shoulder.

"They are waiting in line for heart attack medication." She said quietly. Levi looked down at her with intrigued eyes. He laid a hand on top of his blond head as if to question what they had done. "The ultimate source of revenge is to spread a pandemic among them. The articles up on my walls were incidents around the world of heart attacks yet no medication was found. It was because of middle men like us. We are the middle men, we are not the source." Levi laughed. Hope's gaze iced over with coldness. "You think this is funny?"

"Yeah, I do because I'm no middle man. Who thinks they can mess with me the guy who can absorb anything and use it against them? No one can mess with me. I don't see a pandemic and heart attacks…there is no way there is an epidemic of cardiac arrest." He laughed again.

"This isn't funny. We are dealing with The Institution." Hope said. He raised his eyebrows at the thought. What institution could mess with him? Suddenly, a woman came out of nowhere and latched onto Levi gasping for air. She fell to the ground as she held her heart. Levi was horrified. Hope gasped. She stopped convulsing and peacefully closed her eyes. She said "Find it" as she breathed her last breath. Levi noticed that she had a big black x on the side of her neck. He shuttered in horrification. Who could do this to such a beautiful person? Who could cause so much pain and let her die?

"We have to leave!" Hope said as she heard sirens. Levi ran with her down the street and turned into an alleyway. There was a squad of police waiting for them. Levi smiled as he saw what he wanted among them. He walked towards them as they made their threats to shoot on sight. He smiled.

"Hit me with your best shot, officers." Hope was behind him, she gazed around him as she whispered the angles the shots would come at and the speed. He embraced them as he heard the first shot. It was the infamous first shot. It hit him and he felt a pang in his side as the bullet bounced off. Others were fired but he didn't feel a thing. He was invisible. He approached the officers and punched the m in the gut. There were four. Hope high kicked one in the head and Levi nodded in approval. Hope was nice!

He got on the police motorcycle as Hope grumbled as she placed herself behind him. They drove off into the streets as Hope tightly gripped him around his torso for dear life.

"Where are we supposed to go?" Levi yelled over the reeve of the engine.

"We need to get out of view. We need to be safe. We aren't running from the police anymore. We are running from The Institution." Levi scowled as he began to remember what it was like to run. He had run from his alcoholic abusive parents. They always hit him. He dreamed of the day when he could stand up for himself. He wasn't strong enough to beat them. Yet one day his wish was answered when his father stood over him with a cigar in his mouth and a belt in the other as he continuously beat Levi. He felt a surge of energy and punched his father right in the stomach. His father flew across the room and right through a plywood wall. He heard the breaking of the wood as his father crumbled under the slinters of wood. He heard a groan. He shocked at what his hands could do, ran. He ran and that was when Mystique found him. She was waiting on a street corner as he advertised that he was invincible. She was impressed and brought him all the way to New York to Bayville of all places to live with other mutants like him. She had a plan for him.

Levi needed to find out what this institution was and if he could rise against them. He needed to find out why they were using mutants for a nonmutants uprising movement. He didn't understand. He breathed in as he heard the reeve of engine and zoned into the motorcycle. He was an engine, he was invincible. Whatever this institution wanted from them, they would have to try pretty hard to get him to give in. They framed him for murder. They should be the ones worrying because they were more unbearably annoying than the X-Men. And now that is saying something. What he does to annoying people was beat them. He smiled. He loved his sense of humor.

Okay I need title names for the sequel to this story. I am already thinking about it even though there will be twentyish more chapters...I was thinking...

X-Men: Redemption. I dunno but give me your suggestions. Next chapter we are back inside The Institution. Get ready for a cliffhanger! and a shocker!
