And I do read all the other stories, and they're great, keep up the good work. They inspire me! Chapter 5: The Wicked Never Rests. Pane: What? Professor Xavier had just told me that he was the one that kept me in the dark about everything...which sucked. I went numb, nothing felt right, and I needed to know more. Professor Xavier: Your mother...aunt...your whole family basically came here. I twas here that you were born, I watched her give birth to you. I've always felt very connected to you and it's deeper than that and some day you will realize that. I wanted to help you and protect you. Pane: Knowing is the best protection. Professor X: Your safety is the #1 priority, not pride. Maybe I should have told you, but your... Pane: Harry Potter. Professor looked stunned: Excuse me? Pane: And you're Dumbledore. Yeah, well, guess what, Dumbledore died at the end of the 6th book! Good doesn't always win in these situations. I was almost taken or killed...Scott and Logan could have been killed because you kept a secret that everyone knew but me. Evil doesn't give up...it doesn't die. I looked past Professor Xavier, into the hall at Jean, Ororo, Logan, Kurt, Marie, Remy, Warren, Bobby, and Hank. Pane: Good does. I've seen it, and....it's not pretty. I finally let out all the emotion that I had been holding onto; I cried, I sobbed, I weeped. I felt someone wrap their arms around me and turned to see Scott. Scott hung on tight: As long as there is a breath in my body, I'll protect you! It's alright. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Classes were tough that day, wondering what'd happen when he dies. The Professor, that is. What would have happened if I would have known all along. I didn't have long think, as Professor had seen fit to set up training with Scott. Scott, taking his stance: always be ready. Anything can and will happen at anytime. He lunged at me and I levitated into the air! I dropped to the floor and Scott kicked, but I moved. He jabbed, but I ducked. He caught me off guard when he shot a beam at me and I finally realized what he meant by "anything could happen". I did something I'd only heard a few of the students talk about when they talked about something called Alkalai Lake, I bent the beam back at Scott! Scott jumped to his feet: WOW! What the hell was that? I've only seen that done once, but... I ran over to him and checked him out, making sure I didn't cause any lasting effects. Pane: Are you okay? Scott looked into my eyes: Yeah, well, at least I am now... We stared for a minute until we heard, " Tch, tch, tch." and we both looked behind me. Logan: You want a real workout? Come on, hit me with your best sho... Before he could finish the sentence, I astral projected behind him and punched him in the back of the head, knocking him to the floor. Logan, getting up: Ok, that's a new one. Pane: Think you can keep up? Logan: Mind if I cut in? Scott nodded and we began sparring. We sparred for hours and I was learning different things from both guys. After a few hours, Logan left. Scott and I decided that we should stop, as we were both tired as hell. Scott: So, umm, are we on tonight? Or are you gonna stand me up? I laughed: Are you sure you can handle me? He chuckled: I think so. I smiled again: Well, then, sure. Somehow his shirt had ended up on the floor while we were training and I couldn't help but lean in and kiss him. After the kiss, I picked up my stuff and began to leave. Scott was dazed: UH! Tonight, 7. I yelled back, " Yeah" and walked on. I walked past the Recreation Room and noticed that there was many people in there. They called me in, so I went in and sat down with Jean, Ororo, Piotr, Kurt, and Marie(or Rogue as she liked to be called.) Kurt: We were just talking about you, come sit. I sat with all eyes on me: Is that good or bad? They laughed. Jean <So are you still mad? Please don't be, we just wanted to protect you.> I laughed: No secrets or telepathy. To answer your question, I'm not. I'm totally fine now. We talked for a while before John (Pyro), Jaime (Multiple Man), Jubilee, Ray (Beserker), and Amara (Magma) walked over and asked if I wanted to play video games and talk. I accepted and said goodbye to the X-Men and went to play video games with my friends. They were cool, and although I'd never make a move on any of them, they were hot! John had once been with the Brotherhood before I came, and a total bad-ass...Jaime was one of the funniest guys ever and the youngest...Jubilee was awesome and a great person to confide in, she knew my secretly instantly as did Amara, who was very picky when it came to guys...Ray was Scott in training and used to live with the Morlocks, which I didn't know much about other than they lived in the sewers. They were a good group, which usually included Kitty, Bobby, Roberto, Remy, and Rogue, but they were on a mission. They asked what happened and why did I attack the X-Men and I told them. They were shocked about my secret, but not that Professor would try to protect me. I told them I had somewhere to be and that I had to go, then left. As I walked out of the room, I bumped into a guy, Jace, from my psonics class who was like the star pupil and second in command of the juniors. Jace (Nice Ass) I turned to him: I can hear you! Jace winked: I know. He smiled and walked on with his friends and settled at the pool table, staring at me. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After changing clothes, I went down to the garage and saw Scott leaning on the black Navigator. He was so cute in his turtleneck and slacks, which seemed to really fit him. I smiled: Where's the good cars. He looked at me shocked, so I dropped the joke. I kissed him: You're gullible, know that? So, where are we off to? When we got there, the resturaunt it was great! I knew this place had to be expensive. The inside mad me want to rip off Scott's clothes right then! We ate slowly and talked about so many things and I learned what really happened at Alkalai Lake and he told me about Alex, his brother. I, in exchange, told him about life back home. The fairs, school, and my family. He was intrigued and excited at the prospect of having a family and that one day he might have a normal life. Finally, we finished and got ready to go. Scott: You like this place? Pane: Yeah. It's great. Scott: So, next... I was shocked: NEXT?! Wait, I don't need all of this! It's too much. Scott looked directly at me: Relax, I'm trying to woo you, is it working? I smiled: Yeah. We could have stayed at the mansion and you would have wooed me. I'm easy. Scott laughed: Huh? I was so embarrassed: Not how it sounded, I mean...if you want to woo me, buying me food and other things won't work. For future notice, I can't be bought. Scott: I'll remember that. He took me to the movies, then the park, then we had to head home for curfew, mine not his. When we got back, he walked me to my room. Scott, shyly: Well, this is where you... I answered:...get off? I've got an idea. How about you don't leave. I kissed him and we began making out and went deeper into the room and landed on the bed. I telekinetically shut the door and locked it. He fell on top of me. He was my first that night and he made if feel so good. I felt like things were finally getting better and I had hopes for the future. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next day, I had a preminition, but it wasn't like a preminition...it was like a dream. I was locked in a world that was, by definition, Hell. *Vision* A rough, strained voice: Hello. I knew you'd be here. I turned to see Apocalypse grinning: Apocalypse? Wha...What's going on? Apocalypse smirked: I'm here to give you something...Do you fear me? I gritted my teeth: If I had any doubt that I'd hurt you seriously, It's gone. Apocalypse just smiled and grabbed me, giving me another vision. *Vision in Vision* The fight was over, I won (we won!), but Professor layed on the ground, in a pool of blood, Scott and Bobby were also dead. Logan...was holding me, and I was seriously beat up and crying. The rest of the Juniors, while some had died, were badly wounded. Magneto was there and stepped in place of Professor Xavier. The Brotherhood had helped, but they were laying all over. Was this the future?! *Vision in Vision* Apocalypse: Not so cocky now, are you? Until then... *Vision* I woke up with Jean, Hank, Ororo, Logan, and Professor X. Scott rushed to me: You're awake! Are you okay?! Pane: What..why am I... Scott in a tortured tone: We tired to wake up in every way possible, it...we thought you were dead! Professor stepped in: I think I know why...Did you see Apocalypse? I sense your resistance. I fiddled with the blanket: Yeah, he tried to scare me, no biggie...I don't scare that easy. What time is it? I was trying to ignore what I saw, but the carnage and the bodies and...I couldn't get the vision out of my mind. Scott and Bobby dead at my feet. We won, but did we really? Ororo asked suspiciously: 10 am, why? I jumped from the slab: I'm starved. I walked past them, knowing that if what was supposed to happen, happened, then we're screwed.
