"What do you mean its over David." Storm asked although she was sure she already knew the answer.

David looked to the caramel complectioned weather goddess before looking back down at the unflinching mutant laying at his feet. "Its over."

"Oh god David you didn't!" Storm said sadly as she looked down and saw no rising or falling of the mans chest.

"I did." Was all David replied before he turned and saw the rest of the X-men reach the clearing. "Jubilee?" David then asked turning to Logan.

"She's ok kid. Still unconscious, Hank is checking her out." Logan answered as he looked down at the lifeless form that was Sabretooth.

"Good to hear." David replied softly as he began making his way back through the forest followed by the team.

The walk back was long and slow. The silence broken only by the occasional sound of a twig breaking beneath someone's feet. It seemed een the animals were aware that a grievous event had taken place. None of them opened their mouth to say one word the whole trip. As calm as David seemed they could all sense that he was clearly troubled about what he had done. David followed the scents of the X-men back to where they had come until he saw another clearing that served as a landing pad for the blackbird. David approached the familiar jet slowly until a voice finally spoke up from behind him.

"David, I am sorry but you are not permitted back with us." Scott said although it clearly hurt him to turn away a fellow team member and friend.

"I know Scott. I just want to say goodbye." David said as he walked up the steps of the jet and saw Hank tending to Jubilee.

David didn't so much as acknowledge the blue mutant as he passed him and grabbed the radio from the dashboard of the jet. "Charles, I know that you are listening to this and my voice is probably the last you want to hear right now. I just have a few things I want to say. I am sorry for anytime I have scared you by using my powers to recklessly. I am sorry for anytime I have disappointed you. I am sorry I didn't live up to your standard of X-men. And I want to thank you for always being there for me. For helping me too discover who and what I am and by helping me to accept it. Whether it is with the X-men or not I will continue to fight for your dream. You have been an inspiration to me Charles and for that I am forever in your debt." David said before placing the radio back down and heading once again for the back of the jet.

He stopped once he got back to where Hank was still tending to Jubilee.
"Hank you furry blue bastard, as much as I hate you in the med lab. Outside of it you are an amazing man and I am going to miss you." David said softly putting a hand on the mutants shoulder.

"David you were and in my eyes always will be a valued member of this team and the School take care my boy." Hank responded sadly as he looked up into Davids strained features.

"Ororo, You are a Kind compassionate wonderful woman and as we have not gotten as close as I would have liked I do not know how I am going to get by without your calming presence around. Take care of Wolverine as he desperately needs it." David smiled before embracing the woman in a hug.

"David, without your warm personality around I am afraid that a dark cloud will hang over the mansion for quite some time. Please take care of yourself." Storm choked back a tear as she returned the embrace.

"Scott, Please tell Alex every chance you get that he has greatness written all over him. It must run in the family. You and I have had our moments but you have been a great team leader and I am going to miss the structure you provide." David extended his hand to man he had come to know as a good friend.

"You are going to be one tough team member to replace not to mention friend David. No matter where life takes you from here I wish you the best of luck and Know that should you ever need us for any reason we are only a phone call away." Scott shook the mans Hand and smiled before David turned to the next person.

"Jean. I never quite fully understood it but I know you are not a big fan of mine. Believe it or not I am ok with that. I know it has to do with you worrying about me being a possible danger to the mansion and its understandable. I only hope that we can at least part ways with an understanding that no matter the reason I loved the mansion and most of the people there. You will never have to worry about me posing a problem." David said as he extended a hand to the red head.

She smacked his hand away and pulled him in for a hug. "Oh David! I should never have doubted you. You have done nothing but help students or even the X-men at every turn and when it came down to it you placed your life in harms way for another valued member of the School. For that I am eternally greatful and if things should ever change I would welcome you back to the team with open arms. Please go with pride in knowing that your are an exceptional mutant as well as an exceptional Human being." She cried before releasing the hug and wiping tears from her eyes.

"Logan, you have been the best mentor I could ask for, a good friend, Drinking buddy, and all around great person. Although not everyone may see it you are a good guy don't forget that." David said sadly as he put his hand on the man's shoulder.

"I would fight alongside you anytime kid." Was all Logan replied and all he needed to reply because those that know him, that truly know him, know exactly what deeper meaning his gruff response really held.

David turned back and walked back onto the Jet to say his final goodbye. Hank stepped away as David approached the stretcher that Jubilee's unconscious body lay on. "Jubilee, a man could not ask for a better woman. You have been sweet, loyal, selfless, helpful, and pushy when need be. I would never have adjusted to life as a mutant as well as I did if it wasn't for you. I will never be able to repay you for kindness and Love you have shown me. I am a better man because of you, a better human because of you. I can only hope that god continues to move in your life. I can only hope that you find someone else and when you do that they treat you like the queen that you are. I Love you Jubilee and I always will. There is nothing that can change that but Ican no longer give you the life that you deserve and because of that I have to go. Just know that wherever you are that I will never be far away." David whispered to the unconscious girl before he kissed her forehead and left the jet a single tear streaming down his face.

"Looks like keeping an eye out for here is back in your hands Logan. If anything happens to her I will come for you. And while you are at it keep an eye on my sisters too will you?" David asked looking to his friend.

"You got it kid." Logan replied before extending his hand.

David graciously shook his hand before watching them board the Jet. The steps raised up into the jet and before long the jet rose into the sky and took off carrying his life away with it. David knew what was coming but had no idea how hard it would be to watch the woman he loved fly off into the sunset not knowing whether or not he would ever see her again.

The end.
