X-Sync -- Chapter 1
by JT Poole

// Orlando, FL -- Joey Fatone's House //

"Good morning Bri, how's daddy's little girl this morning?"  Joey asked
walking into the kitchen and picking up his daughter.

"Daddee...hungree." Briana giggled.

"Lets see what are we gonna have for breakfast.  Do you want some cereal or
something cooked?"  Joey asked, placing Briana in her hi-chair and walking
over to the pantry to see what was available.

"Daddee...luckee charms."  Briana stated as Joey pulled a box of Lucky Charms
out of the pantry and grabbed a bowl from the cabinet.

"What else does daddy's little girl want?"  Joey asked.

"Mommee."  Briana stated, as Joey frowned.

"Sorry honey, I have already told you, mommy went away."  Joey stated,
trying to avoid the subject of talking about Kelly.

As Joey finished preparing Briana's cereal, the phone rang.  Happy that
something had interrupted the current conversation, Joey answered the phone.

"Hello" Joey stated,  "Hey mom, I am so happy to hear from you."

"What's wrong honey, you sound upset, is anything wrong?"  Phyllis asked, as
Joey walked out of the room..

"Bri is asking for Kelly again.  I don't know what to say to her anymore.
How am I supposed to tell her that her mother is gone?"  Joey asked.

"I don't know honey.  She's a child; she's not going to understand the truth
about Kelly right now."  Phyllis stated.

"I just don't know how to handle it mom.  Every time she asks me about her I
just don't know what to say."  Joey stated.

"How about you tell her the truth."  Justin stated walking into the room
Joey was standing in.

"How did you get in here Justin?  Never mind, I already know how you got in
here.  Why are you here?"  Joey asked, getting angry with Justin.

"I only came to check on you and Briana.  I came to see if we could patch
things up.  I miss you Joey, you are my friend."  Justin stated.

"Justin I don't care if you miss me or not.  I don't want to ever see you
here again.  Get out!"  Joey shouted.

"Joey please?"  Justin pleaded.

"Get out Justin!  I don't want to see you here again, no go!"  Joey shouted
forgetting about his mother being on the phone.

// New York -- Salem Center -- X-Men Mansion //

"Good morning Professor, you wanted to meet with us?"  Scott Summers asked
as he and the others walked into the room.

"For the last few days, I have been getting strange readings from Cerebro.
There seems to be something strange going on in Orlando Florida.  I am
reading multiple signatures of mutants there and there was also the
signature of JT Mendez that I picked up."  Professor X stated.

"It can't be.  JT died years ago.  There must be some mistake."  Jean Grey
stated getting up from her seat and pacing around the room.

"I'm sorry Jean, but it's correct, I have been sensing his mutant signature
for some time now.  I thought it was just residual of his psychic essence,
but there is a body to go with the signature and I have tracked him to
Orlando.  He's active and it seems he's close to the other signatures that
Cerebro has tracked down."  Professor X stated.

"I saw him die, I was there when Apocalypse killed him."  Jean stated.

"We all saw the fight Professor.  JT couldn't have survived that."  Scott
spoke.

"What did you all see?"  Professor X asked.

"Well as we were trying to get Nightcrawler and Shadowcat away from the
Sentinels, JT flew and morphed into your brother Cain Marko.  When Shadowcat
was able to phase through the Sentinel's hand, Jean grabbed Nightcrawler to
keep him from falling, but in the process, the Sentinels moved to attack and
the first person in the line of fire was JT.  One of the Sentinels tried to
step on him and he wasn't able to hold his force field up long.  As the
Sentinel tried to push it's foot down, JT struggled with his force field.
First he changed back from Cain to himself, then he started screaming across
the psychic plane, then the Sentinel's foot came down and came down hard."
Scott explained.

"What happened after the Sentinels moved away from the area?"  Professor X
asked.

"Before the Sentinels left, they picked up the remains of JT and then turned
around and grabbed Ms. Marvel too."  Jean stated.

"So you are not sure that JT was dead?"  Professor X asked, reviewing the
events that transpired that day in each of the X-Men's mind.

"Professor I searched and searched for him and I couldn't find any trace of
him at all.  After awhile, I gave up on trying to find him."  Jean stated.

"Well apparently he's still alive out there and he's close to the other
signatures in Orlando."  Professor X stated.

// Orlando, FL -- JT's Home //

"Look Mike, I just don't know what to do about her."  JT stated.  "I am a
gay man, I don't like girls.  You are going to have to break it to her
gently that I am not available for her."

"Come on J, you know you are not completely gay.  Just go out with her and
show her a good time."    Mike stated, moving over to the sofa to sit
besides JT.  "If you do this for us, we get the account and you will be a
lot happier."

"Mike, I am not going to go out with a woman just to make sure that you guys
secure an account.  If you want that account I suggest you do something
yourselves to land that account, I am not going to be your guinea pig."  JT
spoke.

"Come on, do it for me, you know you like me, we are like family."  Mike
stated.

"Mike we are family, I am your brother-in-law."  JT stated, getting up off
the sofa and walking across the room.

"Look!  I am not going out with a female to make you happy.  As I said
before, if you want to land that account, you go out with her!"  JT shouted
as his eyes started glowing red.

"JT what's wrong with your eyes?"  Mike asked.

"Nothing's wrong with my eyes!"  JT shouted, "Why are you trying to change
the subject?"

"I am not kidding J, your eyes are glowing red.  You look like a devil or
something."  Mike stated as he got up and started backing away from JT.

"What's happening to me?  This can't be happening to me, I was so close to
living a normal life!"  JT screamed as he ran out of the room, leaving the
house.

"Oh god, he's screaming like a mad man, I can hear him in my mind
 screaming."  Mike stated as he left the house too.

// 2 Hours Later -- Somewhere in Orlando //

"Where the hell am I?  I have been walking for hours.  I am getting tired
and hungry."  JT stated as he stopped walking and just sat down on the
ground out in the open.

"I tried so hard to leave the past behind me.  It's been a long time since I
used my powers and now it seems like they are coming back.  I can't sense
anything and I don't hear anybody's thoughts in my head, so I guess that's a
sign that my psychic powers aren't active."  JT stated as he felt pain and
it wasn't his own.  "Damn, I spoke too soon."

"Get the fuck off of me man!  I don't care who you are, leave me the fuck
alone!"  JT heard as he got up and ran in the direction of the commotion.
"You are coming with us Mr. Timberlake!  We know who you are and we know
what you can do.  If you come with us quietly, we won't have to use drastic
force."  The guy stated as he held Justin up against the car.

"Let me go!"  Justin screamed as the man's fist started glowing and he was
about to grab Justin's neck.

"Oh no you don't!  Get away from him!"  JT shouted as he ran and pushed the
man off of Justin.

"Thanks guy however you are."  Justin stated as he jumped over the guy and
started running.

"You idiot, you let him escape.  I guess we will have to take you in, in
place of him."  The guy stated reaching for JT.

"I think not."  JT stated as he punched the guy and started running.

"Don't let that guy get away!  Follow him."  The guy stated as the other
goons with him started chasing after JT.

"Great just great!  I try to help someone and can't help myself.  Since my
powers are active again, which ones are active?"  JT spoke as he was grabbed
by someone and pulled into an alley.

"Shhh, you will be safe now."  Justin spoke.

"What the hell, who are you?"  JT asked.

"I'm Justin and you are?"  Justin asked.

"I am JT.  Would you mind explaining what I have gotten myself into?"  JT
asked.

"Well those men back there found out that I have this ability to create
explosions and some other things that I don't fully know how to use.  They
want to get me so that they can make me fight in wars and stuff."  Justin
explained.

"Oh my.  Looked like he had some abilities of his own.  I'm glad I knocked
him down when I did, who know what he can do with that hand of his."  JT
spoke.

"That's how he brainwashes people.  He has tried to get me before, he calls
himself ESP."  Justin stated.

"Well so far ESP has left the area."  JT spoke.

"How do you know that?"  Justin asked backing away from JT.

"I am psionic.  I can sense people and read minds.  I too have other powers,
but they don't seem to be working at the moment."  JT stated as he reached
his hand out to Justin.  "Touch my hand, I am not going to hurt you, I am
just going to show you something."

As Justin touched JT's hand, JT used his psionic powers to project an image
of Justin's memories in front of the two of them.

"Wow, that's cool."  Justin stated.  "What else can you do?"

"A lot of things that deal with the psychic arts."  JT stated, as there was
puff of smoke and a strange smell.

"I somehow recognize that smell."  JT stated.

"JT, JT are you here?"  A guy with blue skin asked as the smoke cleared.

"Who the hell are you?"  Justin asked as he held out his hands in front of
JT, trying to shield him.

"Nightcrawler is that you?"  JT asked.

"Oh it is you."  Nightcrawler said walking over to the two men.  "Okay Team
one, I have found him.  It's him."

"Oh no, don't tell me you brought the others too."  JT stated as Jean Grey,
Storm, Cyclops and Iceman appeared before him.

"No not everyone, just the ones that know you."  Nightcrawler stated.

"Great, I thought I was done with you guys after you let me die."  JT
stated.

"We didn't let you die, we thought you were died.  We thought the Sentinels
killed you."  Jean stated.

"Tell it to someone that really cares."  JT stated as he got up off the
ground and started walking in the other direction.

"Don't walk away from us JT, we are here to ask you to return with us."
Storm stated.

"Yeah right.  Tell that to someone you all cared about."  JT stated as
Justin started at all of them.

"JT do you mind telling me what's going on.  Do you know these people?"
Justin asked.

"Yeah!  They used to be my friends, but now they are just the X-Men."  JT
stated as his eyes started glowing again and he disappeared.
