I grab my jacket and gloves and so does he. He leads me outside and down the hill, near where we had our first date. We stop at a large fountain. He turns to me with his hand right above the water. "Have you ever been skating before?"

"Yea, but when I was little, like ten years old. Why?"

He doesn't answer my question but he touches the water and it freezes over. I turn to him and realize what he was planning. "Ok, Mr. Iceman, now tell me. How are we supposed to go skating when we don't have any skates?"

"Do you doubt me, Miss. Renegade? Follow me." he leads me over to a bench and he makes my shoes turn into skates. I look in amazement as he does the same with his own shoes.

He helps me up and we start skating around. I kept falling a few times and he just kept laughing at me. Soon enough, he offered me his hand and while he skated, I just held on, letting him drag me along. Bobby was about to spin me when I slipped. He tried to catch me but when he slipped doing so. We both ended up falling, him on his back and my in his arms.

We couldn't help but laugh out loud, not caring if anyone heard us. He helped me back up even though he stood a good six inches above me. We stared in each other's eyes as he brushed some hair out of my face. "There. Now I don't see any more blue or red or even orange in your eyes anymore."

"What color are they then?"

"They're my favorite color of eyes. Especially on a girl like you. Dark brown eyes where you can see the pain they've been through but you still see them smiling every day, like nothing has affected them. It shows how strong you are."

I didn't know what to say. I tried to give him a kiss on the cheek but since I was so short, I could even do it if I stood on my tippy toes. He just laughed and when he lifted me up, I couldn't help but squeak in surprise. That made him laugh harder and almost drop me on the ice. Once he calmed down, he sunk to my level and kissed me.

When we were done skating, we went back to the mansion but now before unfreezing the fountain. The next morning we were all in a lounge in silence. When I say all, I mean dad, me, Bobby, Storm, and Hank.

Everyone was sitting down one their own chair except my dad who was standing and I was lying down on the couch, playing with my mom's necklace my dad gave back to me not to long ago. We seemed so lost and Bobby asked the question we've all been thinking. "So what now? What do we do?"

"Xavier started this school. Perhaps it's best that it ends with him. We'll tell the students that they're going home." Hank suggested.

Bobby and I share a look before he says, "Most of us don't have anywhere to go. I can't believe this. I can't believe that we're not going to fight for this school."

It looked like Storm was about to say something but a man came in the room. "I'm sorry. I know this is a bad time. I was told that this is a safe place for mutants."

"It was."

Storm thought for a minute before speaking. "And it still is. We'll find you a room. Hank, tell all the students the school stays open."

A few hours after that, I walked into my dad's room only to find him packing a bag. "Where are you going?"

"Storm, I really don't need a lecture ri- Scout. Look, Kid..."

"You're going after her aren't you? You're going after Jean?"

"You wouldn't understand. The real Jean is still there, she's just a little lost."

"No she's not. She's gone!"

"Don't say that! She's not gone." My dad practically growled when he shoved me against the door. When he saw my wide eyes were filled with fear, he let go and walked away from me, sitting on his bed.

I didn't know what else to say and I didn't want to upset him more so I just left. I walked out of the room and went to see Storm. I found her in the kitchen, drinking some coffee. I sat next to her and started out with, "Storm I need to talk to you. It's important."

"Sure, Baby Girl. What do you need to talk about?"

"My dad's going after Jean. He thinks she's still good and he's going after her."

"What? Alright I'll go talk to him."

"No! Storm he's already in a bad mood!" it was no use. She had already walked out of the room.

He ended up leaving, without saying anything. I stayed in my room the entire day and night. People have been trying to get me to come out but I couldn't bring myself to do it. It wasn't until the next day evening when someone actually opened my door.

I didn't move or say anything. I pretended that I was asleep but it didn't work. The person sat on the edge of my bed and took a deep breath. "Kid, I need your help. I already got Hank, Storm, and Colossus with me. I just need you and Bobby. And he won't go unless you go. And I definitely need you there. I need you there, by my side. Just like you've always been."

"How bad do you need me?"

"Bad enough to tell everyone downstairs that I need help. I would even let Storm strike me with lightning if it meant you would come with us."

I felt the corners of my mouth curl into a small smile and I tried not to laugh. I agreed only because I really didn't want him to get Storm to strike him with lightning. We were all waiting for him at the jet, all in our uniform. Before we went anywhere Bobby pointed out, "But Logan, there's only six of us."

He looks all around us, not knowing what to say. When he speaks, he looks between me and Bobby the whole time. "Yeah. We're outnumbered. I'm not gonna lie to ya. But we lost Scott. We lost the Professor. If we don't fight now, everything they stood for will die with them. I'm not gonna let that happen. Are you?"

Tears came to my eyes as I shook my head no. "Then we stand together. X-Men. All of us."

I nod my head, not wanting to speak. I look at Bobby and saw he had tears in his eyes but wouldn't let them fall. "Alright."

"Then let's go." my dad nodded his head at him and we all turned to leave.

We all boarded the jet and took off. It was an intense ride. We all knew if something went wrong, we could all die. We could all die even if everything went right. I was sitting across from Bobby and Storm and Logan sat at the controls.

We were all lost in our own thoughts when I felt a hand on mine. I look over and saw Bobby. I saw he had tears in his eyes and he was looking straight in my eyes. "Scout, I want you to know something. In case we don't make it. We've only known each other for almost three years now. But I can't go in this battle without telling you. I love you."

I stared in his eyes as he said this. I had tears in mine as I knew what he said, he meant. I nod my head a little and give his hand a small squeeze. "I love you too."

We kept flying for at least another hour, both of us holding each other's hand, giving one another a squeeze once in a while, letting us know we were here for each other. Once we land, we take our time getting ready. Storm heads out first, letting lightning strike the enemies. Then Hank jumped down.

Next was Bobby and I. We looked at each other and before anything else; he pulled me in for a kiss. He didn't give me a chance to respond when he pulled away, wrapped me in his arms, and jumped. I held on tightly to his waist as we soared through the air.

Instead of landing on our feet and breaking them, Bobby made an ice ramp so we slip down and landed in the middle of a circle of soldiers. We saw Colossus jump and run. Lastly, I saw my dad make his way down. We all got into a line like we planned. First it was Hank, Storm, dad, me, Bobby, and then Colossus.

As he ran next to me I heard him yell, "Everybody get together! And hold this line!"

I look over at him and give him a slight nod, telling him I will stay by his side throughout this battle. He gave me a slight nod back, telling me that same thing. We all faced forward and Bobby entangled our hands together, holding my small one tightly in his larger one.

We heard Magneto yell "Finish them!" and everyone charged at us. We all got into positions, ready to take on whatever was going to be given to us. After that, we all got in our own battle.

Some larger men tried charging at me but I put up a force field that made them go flying back. One mutant came at me with something coming out of his hands. I froze it and he just looked at me, confused. I had that famous Howlett trademark smirk on my face and teased, "Oh, I'm sorry. Were you trying to do something?"

I would've done more but something came up behind me and threw me on the ground. I looked up and saw a guy that was barely taller than me that looked a little too cocky. "Don't you know it's not nice to hit girls?"

I raised my first but instead I kneed him right where it counts. As he dropped like a rock I couldn't help but laugh, "That'll teach you not to mess with the Wolverine's daughter. Also known as Renegade!"

The next thing I know, there were cars on fire that were falling. I heard my dad demand to take cover. I was about to run where he was when my foot got stuck. It was in a hole and there was some metal over it. When I looked up, I saw a car coming right above me. I waited for the impact but it didn't come.

I heard my dad and Bobby screaming my name as if their lives depended on it. When I looked again, I saw a huge red beam blast it away from me. I didn't have time to find the source of the beam because it came to me.

The thing tried to get me out of the hole I was stuck in. They saw that the metal was holding me back so it blasted the metal into ashes with the same kind of red beam, just smaller. They picked me up in their arms and started running for cover.

I saw another car coming for us and when I screamed, the person ran even faster and tightened their grip on me. I thought it was going to crush us when the person dove behind a wall. When I heard the crunching noise of the car landing, the person covered my body by throwing themselves over me.

I kept hearing Bobby and my dad screaming my name, sounding desperate. I felt my whole body shaking as I looked up. When I was met with a pair of red visors and a face I thought was gone from my life, I nearly cried. The older brother I thought that was dead was standing right in front of me and he just saved my life.
