Xavier watched your body, shocked amazed and concerned about the power within you. 'This must be controlled soon, or all of them will need a hospital!', Xavier thought. 'I'm going to enter his mind', Xavier thought. Xavier focused and soon was standing (yes standing), in front of a large door guarded by a robed figure.
"Getting to the mind realm won't be easy here professor", the figure said. "To enter you must answer three riddles", the figure said. "Who sent you?", Xavier asked. "The third and final personality, Shadome", the figure said. "What is the first riddle?", Xavier asked. "I see without seeing. To me darkness is as clear as daylight, what am I?", the robed figure asked. The professor started thinking, 'this man may be describing sonar. But such a device- wait its not a device!' "You're as blind as a bat!", Xavier said. The robed figure clapped, "good now the second riddle. We're five little items of an everyday sort. You'll find us all, in a tennis court. What are we?" This one the professor learned in college, he just needed to remember. "Vowels", the professor said calmly. "Two for two, very good", the figure said. "Now for the final riddle!", the figure said.
"In a street there are five houses, painted five different colours. In each house lives a person of different nationality. These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.", the figure said. Suddenly a large wall appeared showing what appeared to be hinted. "Don't worry Xavier these hints are to help you answer the riddles question: who owns the fish?", the figure said smugly. Xavier browsed through the hints, and realized that this riddle would take a while to solve. With all these variables, and these categorical matters. "Who made this riddle?", Xavier asked. "Albert Einstein, he calculated only 2% of the world's population can solve this riddle", the figure stated. Xavier went over the hints again:
1. The Brit lives in a red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The Green house is next to, and on the left of the White house.
5. The owner of the Green house drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
7. The owner of the Yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The man living in the centre house drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
12. The man who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15. The man who smokes Blends has a neighbour who drinks water.
(Meanwhile)
Kitty was running around with Kurt, this was part of the plan to restrain Brevin. Thanks to storm and iceman, as well as what appears to have been Brevin getting some grip, the room temperature was down to 49° F. Logan left to get some chains and rope, as well as a cigar but he didn't mention that. Beast had to jump aside when legion threw a volley of fireballs at him. Even hank had to admit it though he'd never say it out loud, but it seems that Kurt and kitty were lousy bait. Kurt made a well planned effort to redraw legions fire, just as Logan got back.
(Meanwhile)
You felt it, with a combined effort you, Shadome, and dram had regained half of the total control of the body. All legion could do was throw fireballs now, but it felt harder than ever now to get back. You really wished the professor was here, he could help.
(Xavier)
"Impossible! How did you figure it out?", the figure said as it vanished. Then a flash of light and Xavier saw you at a table with two others.
(Your point of view)
You were happy to see the professor, dram seemed pleased and Shadome seemed surprised. You and dram realized Shadome pulled something, as the professor looked at Shadome and said, "The German owned the fish."
You all looked through the eyes and saw legion was restrained, Xavier then closed his eyes and there was a bright light...
You opened your eyes and looked around, realizing you were in the med lab. "You're awake, good." You turned and saw kitty, beast, and Xavier next to the med bed.
(1 hour later)
Kitty was crying harder than she ever cried in her life. You and her had talked through and reconnected your friendship, but what happened next made her just so broken. After Xavier mentally helped you to get a grip on your legion mode as you now called it, you told him you wanted to do some more traveling, like you did before coming here. Except this time rather than random traveling, you're going to head to New York. "I'm going to learn to use my powers better, by finding people who have powers like mine. Maybe fight evil along other heroes, and hopefully it will benefit human/mutant relations", you told the professor. The professor approved, he asked if you wanted to take anyone along. You replied that you never really thought of it, as you didn't want anyone close to you hurt when you trained your legion mode. You turned around and were surprised to see kitty there, her eyes puffy and red from her tears. "Are you really going to leave? You've only been here a couple days, and before that it had been so long..", kitty trailed off. "Kitty it's going to be OK, hanks actually making changes to my van for me. I'm going to get farther on less gas, and I can go faster. Plus a camouflage field, and a paint job. It's also going to be stronger and more durable, besides I've already got the necessary things. Clothes, money, my CD's too. I'm only bringing my acoustic though, to save space", you told her. Kitty nodded in understanding; at least she tried to understand.
"Anyway, have you packed yet?", you asked her smiling. This surprised kitty, as Xavier smiled. "W-what?", she asked you. "Come on, of course your coming. I can't leave without you; you've got to keep me sane. I need company after all, and who better then my girlfriend", you said. Kitty's eyes widened, just as you realized what you had said. You meant to say best friend, but what came out was the wrong term. But before you could correct yourself, you were attacked. Kitty charged and forced her way into your mouth, and then you could feel two tongues dancing together as you two kissed. Breaking the kiss she asked, "So what am I packing?"
The next morning you both said your goodbyes, and headed on the road. "So we're going to fight crime like real heroes?", kitty asked. "Yes, it'll be fun. But keep in mind; I'm trying to find the human torch so he can train me. It's going to be an interesting time", you said. "The X-men actually have a history with Spider-man. He's a good friend, I'll have him meet up with us in New York when we get there", kitty said.
