X-Sync Tales -- Catastrophe's Heart
by JT Poole

// Orlando, FL -- The spot where JT's house once stood. //

"What am I to do?"  JT spoke aloud.  "They all hate me because of Hellion.
I knew I was in over my head, I should have just stood out of their lives."

""Why do you say that?"  JT heard a woman's voice as he turned around.

"Cassandra what are you doing here?" JT asked.

"I came to talk to you."  StarChilde spoke.

"Why me, haven't you dealt with me enough over the past few weeks?"  JT
asked.

"Oh shut up J, out of all the people I know, you are one of the few that I
call friend and I worry about you."  StarChilde spoke,

"Well I am glad you still consider me a friend."  JT stated, dropping his
head back down.  "My house use to be right here."

"I know."  StarChilde.  "Just to think it all started right here."

"What?"  JT asked.

"If it wouldn't have been for Michael getting on your nerves, you wouldn't
be Psion right now."  StarChilde stated.

"You have a point."  JT stated.

"You also wouldn't have fallen in love with Justin Timberlake."  StarChilde
stated.

"Cassandra just drop it."  JT stated.

"Why should I drop it?"  StarChilde asked.  "My friend is down and he feels
like he has no place to go to."

"I don't have a place to go to."  JT stated.

"Yes you do.  Go home."  StarChilde stated.

"I don't have a home, if you remember correctly, the Sentinels blew it up,
and going to mother isn't an option."  JT stated.

"Not that home, X-Sync Headquarters."  StarChilde stated.

"That isn't my home."  JT stated.

"Yes it is."  StarChilde stated.  "You have three people there that love you
very much."

"Three people?"  JT asked.  "Who?"

"Well Justin loves you and you know he does."  StarChilde stated.

"No he doesn't.  He's scared of me.  Just like the others are."  JT stated.

"Actually he's not, he's the one that has been standing up for you."
StarChilde spoke.  "As we speak, he's looking for you know.  He's been
crying for hours since you left."

"You make a good detective.  You tell everyone's business."  JT stated.

"I am only trying to get you to go back home."  StarChilde stated.

"I am not going back there."  JT stated.  "I wish I could just overload my
body with energy and just let myself die for real this time, it would make
everyone happy."

"Everyone except me and Justin."  StarChilde stated.  "Whether you believe
it or not, Justin really loves you.  He loves you so much that he was
willing to fight Joey and Chris for talking bad about you."

"Hmmmm.  I don't know."  JT stated.  "They didn't have much to say to me
after they found out what was really going on, and I picked up on Nick and
Brian's thoughts about me."

"Don't worry about that stuff, they were not sure what was going on, but now
that they do, they feel very bad about the way they acted."

"I still don't know."  JT stated as there was a flash of light and Justin
appeared in front of him.

"Know this then.  I, Justin Randall Timberlake loves you and I love you very
much."  Justin stated as he got down on one knee, holding JT's hand.  "I
know I and the others said some very hurtful things, but we didn't know what
was going on at the time baby, can you please forgive all of us?"

"No I can't."  JT spoke, snatching his hand away from Justin and walking
away.

"Why not baby?"  Justin asked.

"For you guys to be so quick in judging me, you all must have had doubts in
your mind already."  JT stated.  "If you all liked me, you would have
figured out something was wrong instead of just thinking I had turned bad."

"JT I am sorry, honest I am.  I am speaking for all of us when I say that we
didn't know what was going on with you."  Justin stated.  "After the first
time we encountered Lou, you started acting strange, then we thought you had
defeated him, only to find out now that he was actually in your head all
that time.  With the vast powers you possess, we didn't know what to think.
>From some of the stuff we heard about you turning into Dark Phoenix, we
thought that was happening again."

"How did you know about that?"  JT asked.

"Jean and Scott told us."  Justin stated.

"Well that still doesn't give you the right to pass judgment like that."  JT
stated.

"Baby we didn't know."  Justin stated.  "When we saw that big bird of fire
surround your body, it was like all the things Scott and Jean had told us
about you when you changed into Dark Phoenix.  You were acting the same way,
you clothes even looked the same."

"Well..."  JT stated.

"Well nothing baby, none of us knew what to think or do.  Remember this is
all new to us, we are not pros like you and the other X-Men are."  Justin
stated.  "All of this was fairly new and hell I still don't know what to
think about it all, but I know one thing, I love you."

"See he loves you, now go back home with him."  StarChilde spoke.

"I can't, not right now, I need some space."  JT stated.

"No you don't, you need Justin, Bobby and AJ in your life right now."
StarChilde stated.

"What do those two have to do with anything?"  Justin asked.

"Never you mind that."  StarChilde spoke, winking at JT.

"Hmm okay I guess."  Justin stated.  "Baby come back with me."

"No, I just said I needed space."  JT stated.

"I told you he wouldn't come Cassandra."  Justin stated, turning away from
JT.  "I love him but I can't make him come back.  Send me back Cassandra."

"I love you too Justin, but right now, my place isn't there with you or
them.  Right now none of you trust me, hell some of you don't even like me."
JT stated.  "I will come back when I feel you guys need and want me back."

"I want and need you JT."  Justin stated, as tears started to fall from
eyes.  "I love you baby, I came here and hopes of taking you back so that we
can be happy, and possibly you would accept me as your lover."

"I love you Justin, honest I do, but right now I don't feel like I belong
there."  JT stated.

"Fine, then take me with you."  Justin stated.

"I can't do that."  JT stated.

"Why can't you?"  Justin asked.

"Because you have a career to get back to or have you forgotten about that?"
JT asked.

"Fuck my career, the only thing I care about right now is you."  Justin
stated.  "Please, don't create a wall between us."

"I didn't create the wall, but one is there."  JT stated, eyes glowing as he
started to fade away.  "I love you Justin and always will."

"He's gone, he's gone!"  Justin screamed out.  "Take me back Cassandra, just
take me back!"

"I'm sorry Justin.  I honestly thought he would go back after seeing you."
StarChilde spoke.

"Well that didn't work at all.  I don't think he really loves me at all."
Justin stated.

As Justin and StarChilde started to fade away, a small pocket of space that
neither Justin nor StarChilde noticed closed as they had completely faded
away.  The small pocket, a dimensional opening that JT was using to
eavesdrop on his lover and his friend spoke volumes as he continued on his
journey.  A journey without the man he loved.  A journey to find peace
within his soul.
