I was walking through the mansion looking for something to do; it was a slow day with no school or danger room sessions to eat up my time. It felt like a nice day to but it was so boring, the sun was shining and the birds were singing annoyingly cute the only eventful thing that morning was Crest rushing outside only for there to be one less bird in the world. I was going to punish him but the loud angry voice of Kitty Pride echoed through the hallway.
"Are you going or not!?" Crest and I flinched when we saw Kitty glaring down at Kurt who seemed like he was about to pee his pants in fear, she held the poor boy by his collar and yanked his tail in anger. "Are you going or NOT!?"
"…Yes?" he answered timidly; kitty dropped him and turned to see me. I quickly turned around and rushed for my room to escape the wrath of the scary girl only for her to snatch my tail making me stumble to my knees in blissful agony.
'Darn my sensitive wolf parts!' she pulled my tail making me turn to face her; she was fuming and stressed out of her mind.
"Are you going or not!?" I gasped out and shook my head confused.
"going where!? I don't know what you want!" Her gaze softened and she released me making me pant and sigh as Crest stood by my side not sure whether to attack kitty or laugh… he chose the ladder. 'Thanks for nothing mutt!'
"To the game! You know the girls soccer tournament? Jeans like the captain and in the finals so Scott!" she said shouting out his name in a furry. "Told me to find everyone and ask them if they were going to cheer her on? Now tell me if you are going because I have like ten more people to ask and I'm like going nuts!" I smiled and ruffled her hair playfully.
'That explained it.' Kitty could never take too much stress without losing it.
"I'd love to go, and don't worry about telling anyone else about the game I'll have Crest do that for you…That ok with you Crest?" Said wolf nodded and turned to the girl bowing respectively.
'Sure, the poor girl needs some time to breath. Leave it to my Miss Kitty.' She was so grateful she bent down and hugged the wolf like he offered her the holy grail of presents.
"You're both such gentlemen! Thanks like a lot!" Crest separated himself into a pack of wolves and raced around the institute in place of Kitty. It had been a few weird days filled with weird questions when everyone learned that Crest could talk. Poor Crest had to endure all of the dumbest questions someone would ask a dog not a demigod wolf. Such as 'why do dog's chase their tails or why do you move in a circle when you go to bed?' and many more in the like. For a while Crest just barked in place of talking if only to get away from the questions until I forced everyone to stop asking him those silly dumb things with threat of immolation!
"I know you ask us to stop asking questions but what is it like to do that? You know, separating into a bunch of different wolves?" now that was a good question! "Jamie told me that for him that he couldn't see or feel what the others felt but when they fade their memory goes into him in a flash… but I was wondering what it was like for you and Crest?"
"Well for Crest it's easy, he can do it with very little though and when he does he sees and hears everything the others do regardless of distance; as for me… I guess it's similar to Jamie. But I try not to do it often because it feels weird to me." Come to think of it I haven't seen him in a long time… "Where is Jamie?"
"He's like out playing with Roberto and the rest of the new recruits. They told me they're working on teem trust exercises. I feel bad for Jamie though, they hardly let him like join in on the fun." I made a mental note to talk to him more. I promised to make everyone in the world feel not alone so I might as well start with the people closest to me.
I said goodbye to Kitty and went to find something to wear for the game. It was starting at night and it was cold so I picked out a hoodie and turned on my image inducer. In a flash my ears and tail were gone and I looked just like any other teen. Ugh I hate not being able to see my tail or my ears… they make me feel cute and I know Logan likes them… he's been stroking them at night lately. Thankfully he only touches them lightly not making me go all loopy.
We all left in Scott's car to the school where the event was taking place. The entire institute was there with the exception of Logan, Beast, Storm and the professor, who were on a special mission somewhere. I asked Logan where but he just smirked and ruffled my hair saying it was nothing big. Like heck it wasn't! Why would the entire staff up and leave for no apparent resign. I only let it slide because he kissed me goodbye… don't judge me!
Anyway the game itself was actually very energetic. Jean was wild out there and scored point after point. It was just awesome to watch! Everything was going great until the half time show. Our new principle, Mr. Kelly decided it was the time to reveal the schools new gold statue of an eagle with flaming wings. It was actually really cool! I was admiring it for a bit until…
"Excuse me Folks!... can I get attention here!?" I searched around confused where the voice was coming from and turned my head up to see the brotherhood standing up on the announcer's box roof. I got a sickly feeling in my gut just imagining the worse. I jumped out of my seat and pulled up my hood making my way to them as cautious as I could. Sadly quicksilver noticed me and ran at me pushing me onto the field. Jean saw this and rushed to my side helping me to my feat. "My name's lance, I also call myself Avalanche because I am a mutant!"
"This is bad! Jean is he going to…?" I just saw the look in her eyes and knew that we were in trouble.
"That's right me and Toad and Blob and Quicksilver here we're all mutants!... we're born different; what you might call… freaks! You see there's lots of mutants here in Bayville high! Scott Summer's and his brother over there even Jena grey the big soccer star and most of their friends in the Xavier institute. Which is kind of a school for weirdo mutant nerds!" oh that cheeky little! I wanted nothing more than to send a fiery fist right into his stupid face and I was about to do so when Jean held me back, I turned to look at her when I started to notice the small sparks emanating from my hands, gritting my teeth I just stood shaking in anger.
"Don't let him get to you. Calm down and think it through." How could she be so calm!? She was just outed by this little punk, we all were! Despite it I did as she said and waited to see this play out.
"Now being mutants means we got these special powers we can use to make little improvements…" that got my attention and I did something very rash. I saw him lifting his hand and looking down at the people in the stands. I had it! The moment I felt rumbling I concentrated a fire ball and sent it flying in his direction. Blob took the blast sending him falling of the ceiling with a loud crash. Everyone and I mean everyone turned and gawked at me. Since the cat was out of the bag I decided to go full out and turn off my image inducer. When my ears and tail were shown people started to really scream.
"Werewolf!"… Just… not mutant…, I didn't know whether to laugh or feel insulted. I just shook my head and summoned Crest to help me fight. I glared up at Avalanche and growled much like Logan.
"You wanted to lay it all in the open? You wanted to start something with use?" I summoned two more fire balls beneath my feet and charged at him full speed with my claws bared in flames. "Then let me finish it!"
"You wish!" Sadly I wasn't as fast as quicksilver who managed to tackle me once again sending us both into the bleachers. Avalanche chose that time to open up a craves under us both, we would have both plummeted within its depths if jean didn't held us suspended in the air with her power. Quicksilver was livid…
"Lance you idiot! You could have killed me!" We both looked up at the bowl headed jerk only to see an odd look in his eyes… it… I recognized those eyes… I knew them to well. He was crazed, insane. Whatever happened to him in his life it all just let it all out in this moment.
"Like I'd care about that!" I knew from the others that he was an idiot that was just some cliché dumb punk of a guy… but now… he was completely gone. "LETS ROCK!" he raised his arms into the air and the world shook from his insanity. I looked around me seeing noting but chaos, people ran about as the ground itself jumped and slammed into jagged pillars. Oddly for this day Kitty was the voice resign that somewhat calmed the boy down.
"Lance! Stop please!" He's expression changed from demented to frighten. He grabbed his head in pain and his eyes rolled back into their sockets. He screamed out and I felt something odd emanating from within him… there was something wrong.
"I… cant!" he struggled to speak as he strained just to stay conscious. Kitty managed to make her way to him while everyone else did their best to protect the people around us. Even Toad Quicksilver and Blob helped out knowing that whatever they were doing had gone too far. It was odd seeing actual caring coming from those three after all the pain they put my friends through. I knew then what was happening to lance, what really messed with his head… he was just like me. I search for Jean and made my way to her knowing that she was the only one who could help in this situation.
"Jean he's gone nuclear! Is there anything you can do!? The professor helped me when I first got here!" She shook her head unsure of herself.
"I don't know! The professor fixed you not me, I just watched him!" I turned her to face Lance who was in Kitty's arms howling in pain.
"Try!" I looked around for Quicksilver and found him helping two girls out of a hole in the ground. I shouted out at him and got his attention."If you want this to end get Jean to him now!"
"Since when do I take orders from you!?" I had it with their stupidity today! I glared at him and roared out like a stream of fire in his direction. He yelped in shock and rushed to us both and brought us to him. I thanked him and pushed him away. "Dam guy is scarier then Mystique!" Kitty stared at us in tears.
"Please help him!" Jean cringed and placed two fingers on the sides of his head. He calmed for a second but it was too much for her to handle. She released his head and the destruction continued.
"It's too much… there's just too much pain inside his head… I can't do anything if the problem isn't mental!" We looked on helpless as he spasmed along with the ground it looked like this was it for him… until Crest walked up to us.
"Perhaps… I can assist you… bring the boy to me." Kitty was hesitant but did was the wolf said, she laid him on his back and Crest kneeled his head down letting a single shining tear fell from his eye and onto the boy's cheek. "The pain is gone, do as you will Miss. Gray."
"Ok…" Jean tired again and this time the rumbling clamed and slowed to a halt. Lance sighed and fell safely asleep in Kitty's arms. I sighed in relief and looked around at the damage… it was almost cataclysmic. The field was damaged to the point of being a bolder filled pit with people strewn about in fear and shock.
"What do we do now?" The entire institute grouped around afraid and confused; when I really looked I just noticed something scary… we were all just a bunch of kids… without the teachers we were helpless on our own. How would we survive this without them watching over us? 'we're doomed.'
"You know better than that Mr. Mercer." There sitting in his wheelchair was Professor Xavier along with Logan who scoffed at us and glared.
"We can't leave you brats alone without the world ending can we?" I glared back him in a fury and he flinched as I growled. I didn't have to look to know the entire student body stepped back in fear.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?" I clawed my hands and was about to pounce when the professor held out his hands trying to keep the peace.
"Before you seek to punish Logan I ask that we deal with the problem at hand. There are many people here who have seen and heard too much. I am afraid our lives will be changed forever." I calmed down and took a breath.
"I… is it possible to make them forget?" Professor Xavier sighed and thought for a moment.
"Many people have seen this and I have never attempted affecting people on this magnitude…" Crest spoke up standing near the professor.
'it has been a long time since I done this but I will aid you in locking the memories of these people." I turned to him confused.
"You can do that?" Crest ignored me and climbed onto the professor's lap and pressed his fuzzy head onto the professor's forehead. We could only watch as they concentrated on their task. Everyone around us looked on dazed and motionless being mentally manipulated by the two. Suddenly they both fell unconscious. We rushed to them cunserned as the people started to shake out of their daze, looking at the damage confused and frightened. We convinced them it was an earthquake and thankfully they bought the ruse. It was when the fire and police department showed up that we chose to escape back home… I held Crest in my arms hoping my friend will be fine.

We all gathered around the medical room in the mansion, all looking on at our professor in worry. Crest slept in my arms while Logan and Jean tended to the professor. I patted Crest's head and felt useless, both of them just risked their lives for us all and I could do nothing but hold my poor wolf in my arms and wish for him to wake up.
"Crest…" Logan saw me and walked over to me he just hugged my back and buried his head in my shoulder whispering to me that it will be ok. That was it… tears fell from my eyes and coated Crest's dark soft fur.
'Stop your weeping! I can only stand so much of your blubbering…' I looked down at Crest's groggy face… and smacked it hard. 'OWW!?' I glared down at the mutt and pushed him off my lap crossing my arms in embarrassment.
"Well I'm SOOO sorry I was worried about you, you jerk mutt!" He sighed and turned to the professor crying down one tear on his forehead. He turned to me and smiled is silly wolf smile, and I couldn't help but smile back. Despite his rudeness I was happy just that he didn't fade away.
The professor awoke and turned to Crest seemingly worried. 'Yes… I am afraid one had escaped our attempt… I do not know if he will remember what had happened that night I just hope we will not have to repeat it ever again.'
"What do we do now?" Jean asked, Professor Xavier sighed and sat up.
"We will have to wait and see…"
Outside the institute hidden within the trees stood a man in an odd red and black suit and mask. He chuckled madly holding a katana sword in his hands running a finger down the blade.
"This is going to be fun! I haven't played with wolvey in so long! I can't wait to stab that ass!"
