X-Sync Tales -- Channel's Mistake
by JT Poole

** This tale takes place after the DarkChilde Saga **

// Salem Center, NY -- Xavier Institute -- In The Foyer //

"I don't give a flying rats ass what you say, I am tired of this.  I almost
lost my life because of him, I will not be on the same team as him!"  Lance
screamed walking out the door.

"James, James come back here."  Professor X called out, trying to settle
things with Lance.

"No professor I am not staying here.  I am leaving."  Lance stated, getting
aboard the jet.

"No Channel, stop!"  JT spoke, waving his hands and freezing the jet from
moving.

"Psion stop, let the jet go."  Lance spoke through the jet's speaker system.

"I can't let you leave Channel and you know that."  JT stated, fading away
and appearing next to Lance inside the jet.

// In the Jet //

"Lance talk to me.  Come on, what did Daniel do that was so bad?"  JT asked.

"He...he..."  Lance spoke, as JT cut him off.

"Lance I saw inside your mind.  Planetoid didn't mean to hurt you, he's just
not interested in you, like you are interested in him."  JT stated, hugging
Lance.

"I know, but I wish he was."  Lance stated, crying on JT's shoulder.

"Well I know you do, but you can't make him love you."  JT stated, as his
eyes started glowing.  "Your pain will go away."

"My pain?  What pain?"  Lance asked, stepping back away from JT.  "What are
you talking about?"

"You said you were in pain."  JT stated, being assured that his power worked
in erasing Lance's mind of what happened between him and Planetoid.

"Really, I feel fine."  Lance stated.  "What are we doing in here?"

"You were looking for something you said."  JT spoke, telepathically
contacting Professor X to let him know that everything was okay.  "Did you
find what you were looking for?"

"Apparently not."  Lance stated.

"Well come on, we have other things to do."  JT stated, grabbing Lance's
hand as they both faded away.

// Back in the Mansion -- The Danger Room //

"So what do we want to do tonight guys?"  Justin asked, floating over to JC
and Chris.  "I want to go out and celebrate since my man is back to normal
and we can finally get married."

"I don't care where we go as long as we get out of this place.  I would like
to have some kind of normal life for once."  Brian stated, hugging Nick.

"We do have a normal life baby, just not normal normal."  Nick stated.

"This isn't normal baby and it never will."  Brian stated, kissing Nick and
walking off.

"Bri, Bri where are you going?"  Nick asked, following behind him.

"Baby look, stay here with the guys, I just want to be by myself."  Brian
spoke, kissing Nick again and pressing a button on the wall to open the
Danger Room doors.

(<Pamph>)

"Sorry, I didn't see you there."  JT spoke as he and Lance appeared directly
in front of Nick.

"How do you see when you just `pop' in like that?"  Nick asked.

"Good question, I would like to know that too."  Lance spoke.  "How do you
know you are not landing in a wall or something?"

"Simple, if I can telepathically see where I am going, I know where to
appear.  I just didn't see you move into this spot just now."  JT spoke just
as Justin floated over to him, hugging and kissing him passionately.

"I think we should leave these two alone or something."  Lance stated,
grabbing Nick by the hand and walking away.

"Baby I am so glad to see you."  Justin spoke, as he came up for air from
the kiss.

"Baby you just saw me a few minutes ago."  JT laughed.

"I know baby, but it's always good to see you, you know that."  Justin said,
kissing JT again.  "Where are going out to celebrate in Manhattan, could you
like shift us there after we have had some alone time?"

"Sure baby.  What do you have in mind?"  JT asked.

"Well since you are back with me, I want to make love, make love in Limbo."
Justin stated, with a mischievous look in his eyes.

"In Limbo?"  Why Limbo?"  JT asked, frowning.

"Oh baby I am so sorry.  I forgot."  Justin said, hugging JT and kissing
him.  "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that.  I was just thinking about our
first time and it was there."

"I know baby.  It's okay, it's just a touchy subject right now."  JT said,
kissing Justin on his forehead.  "I think I have some place we can go."

"Where?"  Justin asked.

"It's a surprise. Just close your eyes."  JT spoke, kissing Justin as the
two of them faded away.

// Lance and Chris' Room //

"What's on your mind Scoop?"  Chris asked walking into the room.

"I was upset about something but I can' remember what it was."  Lance spoke,
as he sat down on the bed in the room.

"Well I can't help you.  I have enough problems to deal with."  Chris
stated, sitting down on his bed.

"Well you wouldn't have problems if you hadn't accused JT after everything
bad happened so many times."  Lance stated.

"You are on his side too?"  Chris asked.

"Yes I'm on his side.  Chris you were wrong, you need to admit it."  Lance
spoke, pointing at him.  "Once you have come to terms that you were wrong,
you can start to heal."

"Start to heal?  There's nothing wrong with me.  I had a valid reason to
think he was behind all that stuff.  He was capable of doing everything with
those demon powers of his, how was I supposed to know, hell all the rest of
you thought he was responsible too, I am not the only one."  Chris
explained.

"You have a point.  I thought with his vast power that he was responsible,
but you must realize that some things happened when he wasn't around."
Lance stated.

"Yeah, not like he couldn't phase shift or whatever it is he does and leave
again."  Chris spoke, as Lance got up.

"Chris just shut the hell up.  You need to lay off JT for once and pull your
head out of your fucking ass!"  Lance shouted as his eyes started glowing
and a beam of energy projected from his eyes, blasting a hole in the wall.
"Look what you made me do!"

"What's going on in here?"  Nightcrawler asked, appearing in the room in a
puff of brimstone.

"It was an accident Kurt, sorry."  Lance spoke, walking out of the room.  "I
think I will go into town, I just want to be alone."

"Channel I don't think you should leave without someone with you."
Nightcrawler stated, appearing in front of Lance.

"Kurt I don't need a babysitter."  Lance spoke, walking past him.

"I didn't say you did.  I am just saying that around here, townsfolk are
standoffish of new people, they can smell mutants it seems."  Nightcrawler
stated, walking along side Lance.

"They may can sniff you out, but I am a little bit normal, my skin isn't
blue like yours."  Lance stated, walking down the stairs.

"Well excuse the fuck outta me, I was only trying to warn you, but go, I don
't care you spoiled brat."  Nightcrawler stated, disappearing in another
puff of brimstone.

// Downtown Salem Center -- 25 Minutes Later  //

"Wow this place is boring, there's nothing here."  Lance stated, driving
down one of the main streets.  "That looks like a club right there."

`Lance where are you?'  JC mindspoke to Lance.

"Minding my business Josh.  Get outta my head."  Lance spoke.

`Lance buddy I'm worried about you.  You have been acting strange since
Britney turned you down.  Are you okay buddy?"  JT telepathically asked
Lance.

"I said get outta my head Josh.  You are already in my mind, you should know
the answer already."  Lance spoke, slamming on breaks as he spotted a
nightclub.  "Great, a night club, I can hang out there for a bit."

`Lance that's not a good idea.'  JC telepathically spoke as his psychic
image appeared in the seat next to Lance.

"Go away Josh.  I need to have a little bit of fun and I am going to do it."
Lance stated.

`You could have had fun back at the mansion.  I know you are confused and
upset right now, but don't put yourself in any unnecessary peril.'  JC
telepathically spoke as Lance got out of the car.

"Whatever."

// Back at the Mansion //

(<Pamph>)

"Where have you two been?"  Beyonce asked, as JT and Justin appeared in the
room.

"We went some place romantic."  Justin spoke, sticking his tongue out at
her.

"How sweet."  Beyonce stated.  "JT Lance is gone and JC thinks he might get
into trouble."

"What?  Why?"  JT asked.

"He left here upset after he, Chris and Kurt got into an argument."  Beyonce
stated.

"Oh great, we have been drama free for a week and here he goes starting
some."  JT stated, waving his hands as he, Justin and Beyonce's clothing
changed.

"J what did you do that for?"  Beyonce asked.

"We are going to get him."  JT stated, creating a stepping portal.

"Baby what's the deal?"  Justin asked, pointing at the portal.

"Well if we just appeared someone in the open, people would know we are
mutants, using my stepping portal, we can appear someone without that flash
of light that's created when I phase shift."  JT explained.

"Oh, okay.  Learn something new with you everyday baby."  Justin spoke,
kissing JT on his cheek.

"I bet you do."  JT said, grabbing him by the hand as the three of them
stepped through the portal.

// Downtown Salem Center -- A Dark Alley //

"Baby where are we?"  Justin asked as the portal opened.

"I have the slightest idea."  JT answered, as Beyonce stepped out and her
eyes started glowing.

"No!"  Beyonce screamed.

"B?  What's wrong?"  Justin asked.

"Channel's in trouble."  Beyonce stated, taking off running down the street
as she transformed into Tigersbane.

"Follow her."  JT stated, eyes glowing as his and Justin's clothing changed.
"Don't let her out of your sight, we don't need her hurt whatever it is she'
s running into."

"Will do babe."  Justin spoke, just as there was a flash of energy in the
direction Beyonce was running.

// Down the Street //

"Look man I don't want no trouble, just get out of my way and let me pass!"
Lance screamed, his eyes glowing, smoldering with energy he has just
projected at the man in front of him.

"I don't have to move for a filthy faggot and a mutant at that!"  The man
screamed.

"I am not a faggot!"  Lance yelled, projecting a beam of plasma energy at
the man.

"Channel stop!"  JT shouted, still running towards the scene.

`Baby get him out of here before he hurts someone.'  Justin telepathically
spoke to JT.

`I can't do that baby, if I do, I risk exposing the rest of us.'  JT
telepathically spoke back as they both passed a young man hiding behind a
trashcan.

`We have to stop him somehow.' Justin thought just as Tigersbane reached the
man and threw him up against the wall.

"Channel get out of her, NOW!"  Beyonce yelled, holding the man still.

`Beyonce put him down.'  JT telepathically spoke to her.

"Why stop me Psion, he's not worthy of living."  Beyonce stated, eyes
glowing as her fingernails turned into cat claws, and she held them under
the man's chin.

"No don't do it!"  A young man yelled, coming out of the shadows.

"Who the hell are you?"  Beyonce asked, turning around and pointing her
other claws at the young man.

"Stop please don't hurt us.  He's just drunk, he's very sorry.  We promise
we won't tell anyone, just let us go please."  The young man stated, begging
Tigersbane for their lives.

`Beyonce stop, let him go.  Please stand down.'  JT telepathically spoke.

"I said NO!  Channel get out of here now!"  Beyonce screamed.

"I won't let you hurt us!"  The young man stated, grabbing for Beyonce as
Lance projected a beam of energy at the young man, knocking him to the
ground, leaving his body scorched.

"Oh God!  What have I done?"  Lance screamed, falling to his knees.

"Get back!"  JT shouted, kneeling in front of the young man as the two of
them faded away.

"What did you do to my friend?"  The man asked.

"Oh God, Oh God, I killed him, I killed him!"  Lance screamed out again as
Justin floated down to him, hugging him, trying to calm him down.

"Come on Scoop calm down.  I don't think he's dead.  JT h as him, he's taken
him to some place for help."  Justin spoke, rubbing Lance's back.  "B get us
out of here."

"Fine!"  Beyonce shouted, letting the man go as she touched Justin and Lance
and the three of them disappeared.
