Neb: Back at the brotherhood's house, Vibrant learns that they were betrayed by Avalanche. Of course, they didn't intend to fight Lance about it, they just wanted to poke a little fun. I do not own X Men.

Vibrant walked down the hallway at school with the other brotherhood mutants. He wasn't sure what Lance saw in Kitty, but he knew that was the reason the traitor quit. He saw Lance and grinned as they headed over to him. Blob pushed him into a locker.

"Hya Lance, long time no see," Quicksilver commented.

"I hear you've joined the X- Losers," Vibrant laughed and received a high five from quicksilver.

"Geek squad, we agreed on geek squad," Boom Boom whispered.

"You agreed, I just smiled," Vibrant chuckled and she pouted.

"So what if I did," Lance responded.

"I knew it, Mistiques going to hand you your left arm when she gets back," Toad interjected as he was hopping in the air.

"She's gone, the brotherhood is history. You guys just don't know that yet."

"Oh yea, well well," Blob tried to retort.

"Witty come back blob," Quicksilver sarcastically responded.

"Your becoming one of them, aren't you," Vibrant chuckled. "An X- Dork."

"So what if I am," Lance growled.

"Ah man, to think I looked up to you," Blob commented and Ricky face palmed after that.

"Your making a mistake Lance, you'll never fit in with those guys," Tabatha pointed our while smiling. "They are never going to except you."

"That got him," Vibrant grinned as Lance looked down while walking away. "That was fun guys, see ya later."

"Where you headed off to," Boom Boom asked.

"Gym," Ricky grinned.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Ricky was in complete darkness. He began looking left and right until he saw the red stag with wings standing in front of him. "Jessica? What do you want?"

"Ricky, I am not Jessica," the stag replied in Jessica's voice. "I am a mutant known a Peryton."

"Right, with my sister's voice," Ricky responded sarcastically. He chuckled for a moment and then looked up grinning. "Then I am not Ricky, I am Vibrant. What do you want Peryton?"

"I have seen one of your friends join the X-Men, I beg you... Join them as well."

"Declined," Vibrant responded. "I am a mutant of the Brotherhood. Like Lance, they will not accept me."

"Lance is getting along fine."

"No he isn't," Vibrant laughed. "He had that look on his face earlier today. The look of I don't belong."

"Are you familiar with that look?"

"Of course I am," Vibrant smirked. "I'm glad I'm talking to someone other than Jessica about this, because this would break her heart. Family is a lie!"

"No, your wrong," she growled.

"They use you, they hurt you and for what? So they can be happy, so someone else can be happy? Why wouldn't they care about your happiness? Is having powers just suppose to make us mutants automatically happy, because we have something others don't? I sure would of been happy with my powers if I didn't have my fathers try to use me or hurt me. The Brotherhood is where I got power! I can throw fire, I can keep people in stasis, I can keep an eye on my surroundings easier, I can phase my particles through things! I've been so happy with my development of power and who gave it to me! The Brotherhood did, I got my powers from working with them... I can thank second dad for lock picking, that's it."

The red stag was whimpering as it backed away from him. "You did turn evil, Scott was right."

"Scott? When did you meant Summers!"

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Vibrant woke up in his bed at twelve a.m and ran outside. He through on his signature white button down shirt and blue jeans. The other brotherhood mutants always changed into battle gear, but he never felt the need to. He ran over to the X Men mansion and hopped the fence.

That was when nets started firing at him witch he fazed through. He then threw fireballs at each turret that came out of the ground and then used his stasis powers to stop anything and everything around him. He could sense every weapon the X-Men's mansion had for defense. He grunted and then walked forward, fighting the stasis on himself. "X-Men," he yelled. Scott, Kurt, Jean, and Wolverine came outside ready to fight him.

"What do you want Ricky," Scott yelled.

"How long has Jessica been working with you guys!"

"She showed up at our doorstep a week ago," Xavier spoke up as he rolled in front of Vibrant. "She was looking for someone to help her control her powers."

"I told her parents to not rely on you guys," he growled. "Your the enemy, witch means my sister will be fighting with Brotherhood mutants, my friends!"

"I know you care a great deal about your sister," the professor admitted. "But she's been making progress in our institute."

"That's polite guy code for, she's become your asset," Vibrant yelled. "Leave my sister out of this, tell her to go home."

"No," a girl shouted from behind the X-Men. "I like it here, I'm finally with people who are like me. You should be here to."

"Why, they aren't like me," Vibrant responded. "They all fly, teleport, shoot beams from their eyes! I hurt myself when I use my powers, all the time."

"Blades coming out of my hands don't exactly tickle bub," Wolverine grunted.

"I don't just absorb powers and knock people out," Rogue growled. "For a moment I become them, with all their memories and everything."

"You weren't there when I lost control of my powers," Jean yelled. "Don't try to play only victim."

"But you guys have something that I don't," he grunted. "A childhood." Vibrant turned around and grunted as he felt the scar across his face and then smirked. "I lost my composure," he chuckled. He turned around and gave them a warm smile. "I apologize for my disturbance, I hope Jessica finds better comfort in you guys then her own family. Tell them when they find her, that I approve of where she's at. I only ask that when you train her, to not make her a tool like was."

"You don't have to be a tool Ricky, join us," Xavier insisted.

"I'm not a tool," he grinned. "Not anymore, I found my freedom, it's her turn to find hers."

"Ricky," Jessica yelled as he walked back towards the fence.

"My name is Vibrant."
