“Rogue,” Logan said. “I didn’t think you’d actually take it. So do you feel any different?”
“A little,” Rogue said with her southern accent. “Honestly, no. I didn’t have much power at first anyway. My only power was to hurt people.”
“That is not true,” Logan said. “You are very special and your powers will progress in time.”
“What powers?” Rogue asked. “Have you not been following this whole conversation? I took the cure, and now, I am free. I am free of hurting people.”
“Rogue, I think you made the biggest mistake of your life,” Logan said.
“Yeah, but like you said, you’re not my father,” Rogue said. She started to walk out of Logan’s room. But Logan grabbed her arm.
“Listen to me,” Logan said. “You are still my responsibility! As long as you are here.”
“What happened at the battle?” Rogue asked.
“I had to kill Jean,” Logan said. He started getting choked up.
“God, Logan,” Rogue said. She wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a big hug. “I am so sorry.”
“It’s okay kid,” Logan said returning the hug. A tear ran down his cheek. “We’re all each other’s got. Except for Bobby.” He gave a small laugh.
“Are you going to be okay?” Rogue asked. “I am going to meet Bobby for lunch after his training in the Danger Room.”
“They had a training in the Danger Room?” Logan asked.
“You didn’t know?” Rogue asked.
“No,” Logan said. “But you run along kid.”
“Take care, Logan,” Rogue said. “I’ll see you later.

“They are everywhere!” Kitty yelled. She phased through a wall as A Sentinel started crushing the building with its foot. “Bobby!”
“Coming, Kitty!” Bobby yelled. He ran over to the Sentinel and froze it’s foot to the ground. The Sentinel easily broke free and continued after Kitty.
“Somebody help!” Kitty yelled. She phased through a series of more walls. This reminded her of her recent battle against Juggernaut.
“Hold on, Miss Kitty,” Beast yelled. He grabbed onto the Sentinel’s leg and crawled up.
“Be careful, Hank!” Storm yelled. She flew up to assist him. “Hank? Where are you?” Everything above the Sentinel’s torso, was cloudy. “Hank!” The Sentinel’s arm hit Storm and she went and hit a pile of cars.
“Storm!” Colossus yelled. He ran over to Storm. She was fine. Colossus blocked a piece of the building from hitting Storm. “We should get out of here.”
“Not until the job is finished,” Storm said. She jumped up and her and Colossus ran over to Bobby. “Any sign of Kitty?”
“Not yet,” Bobby said. “I know she is inside, but that is about it.”
“We have to get inside,” Storm said. “Peter! Bobby! Get in there and help her out.”
“Right,” both men said. They ran inside.
“There is the Sentinel’s foot!” Bobby yelled.
“I see it,” Colossus yelled. “But, where’s Kitty?”
“Here!” Kitty yelled. She phased through a wall and joined Colossus and Bobby. “I don’t know if we can take this thing. I think we need Logan.”

“Way ahead of you kid,” Logan appeared next to the three younger X-Men. “Where is ‘Big Blue’?”
“Beast is somewhere on the Sentinel,” Bobby said. “How’s Rogue?”
“Not now, lover boy,” Logan said. “We have a machine to destroy.” His claws popped out of his hands. “Let’s try the same thing as last time, Tin Man.”
“You got it,” Colossus said. His metal surrounded his body. He grabbed Logan and threw him up in the air. As fast as Logan went up he came back down.
“What did you see?” Kitty asked. She and Bobby helped Logan up.
“Well, Storm and Hank are up there beating the crap out of its head, and that is doing jack sh…” Logan was interrupted.
“Logan!” Storm yelled as she flew down. “Listen, Hank is up there trying to knock it’s head off. Why don’t I fly you up there and you give us a hand?”
“Sounds like a plan to me,” Logan said.
“Bobby, try to freeze his feet and his arms. He is doing an awful lot of swinging up there,” Storm said. “Kitty. Peter. I need you two to help Bobby as much as you possibly can.”
“We’re on it,” Kitty said.

“So, don’t you miss it?” Jubilee asked.
“Miss it?” Rogue retorted.
“Yeah. I mean the thrill of being one of the X-Men. You have seen more action than any of us,” Jubilee said. “I don’t think I would have given that up for the world.”
“I don’t know,” Alison said. “I think I would like to be normal again.”
“But once you’re normal, that is when they start to come after you,” Jubilee said.
“Who?” Rogue asked.
“The Morlocks,” Jubilee answered. “They are an underground society of mutants. They live in sewers and try to hide from the world.”
“Wow,” Rogue said. “Listen, I should be going. I’m meeting Bobby for lunch.”
“Okay,” Jubilee said. “I’ll catch you later. I have some studying to do for Professor McCoy’s class.”
“See ya,” Rogue said. She started walking to the kitchen to make some sandwiches. She didn’t know that Alison Crestmere had followed her. Alison, also known as Magma, knew what it was like to have a power you didn’t want. Rogue actually would rather have her power. After all, if Alison concentrated on controlling her powers, they would be pretty awesome.
“You didn’t get the cure for Bobby did you?” Alison asked.
“No,” Rogue said. “Not just for Bobby.”
“Rogue!” Alison yelled. “You can’t do that to yourself. Trust me, a guy is not worth it.”
“Bobby is,” Rogue said.
“Trust me. No guy is worth your powers. Your powers were something you obtained at birth! No one has the power to take that away,” Alison said.
“Leech did,” Rogue said. She put the cheese the two sandwiches.
“I don’t think he had much of a choice,” Alison said. She grabbed an apple out of the refrigerator. “Think about what I said.” She started walking out of the kitchen.
“It’s too late now,” Rogue said.
“Maybe for you,” Alison said.

“That was killer,” Bobby said. He walked out of the Danger Room with Peter and Kitty following him. Storm, Logan, and Hank stayed behind.
“Thanks for the invite,” Logan said.
“Listen, it was nothing personal,” Storm said. “You are obviously torn up about Jean.”
“Is it that obvious?” Logan said sarcastically. “So, you thought I would endanger our students.”
“I couldn’t take the chance so I invited Hank,” Storm said.
“Listen, after I killed Jean and you started running this academy, I have taken on a daily class and helped battle whatever comes along. Don’t leave me in the dark again,” Logan said. He looked over at Hank who wasn’t speaking.
“Shouldn’t you be heading back to the President any day now?” Logan asked.
“My services to him are no longer needed. They are needed here,” Hank said. He walked out of the Danger Room.
“You know, I miss her too,” Storm said. She followed Hank out.

The next day, everything started out normal. The students were attending their classes as usual, but then Hank popped into Storm’s office with some breaking news.
“The cure isn’t as permanent as we thought,” Hank said. “You must get me Marie.”
“At once,” Storm said. She ran out of her office and started running down the halls.
“What is it?” Logan caught up with her. “I heard Hank yelling all the way down the hall.”
“Do you have Rogue in class right now?” Storm asked.
“No,” Logan said. “She has a free period right now. What is going on?”
“The cure isn’t going to last,” Storm said. The two of them were now running up the stairs to Rogue’s room. They knocked on the door and nobody answered.
“It’s locked,” Logan said. He tried to kick the door down. It’s not going to budge. The one person who has ever created a door I couldn’t get through, is Iceman. I think they are inside. Together.” Logan and Storm looked at each other and then started pounding on the door.
“Get Kitty,” Logan said.
“No time,” Storm said. She looked up towards the sky and concentrated. A burst of lightning came down and made a whole in the wall. Logan and Storm stepped inside.
“Rogue?” Logan asked. He looked over on the bed and saw an unconscious Bobby. “No!” He went over and tried to resuscitate him by giving him mouth to mouth. “Where’s Rogue?”
“She’s in here,” Storm said. She walked over to the closet and saw Rogue rocking back in forth on the floor.
“I didn’t mean to hurt him,” Rogue said. “I’m supposed to be cured.”

By the next hour, everyone in the school knew about Rogue and Bobby. “Ororo! A couple of teens in love isn’t as bad as what is to come. If Rogue’s cure wore off, that means that every other mutants’ will. Magneto, Mystique, all of them,” Beast said. “I think today is the day that we need to pick a new group of elite X-Men to go and fight in the next battle.”
“Then you pick it!” Logan said. “Rogue and Bobby are physically and emotionally hurt, and we are helping them! Storm and I will give you the students records and you pick who goes in the new teams. Is that okay with you?”
“Fine,” Hank said. “Ororo?”
“I agree,” Storm said. “My students are the most important thing, especially the ones that are currently hurt. My records are in the top drawer of my desk.”
“Is the boy going to…” Hank started.
“He’ll be fine,” Storm said. “As long as we can take care of him. Logan, why don’t you talk to Rogue.”
“Sure thing,” Logan said.

“I believe you all know why you have been called here,” Beast said. “The cure is not as permanent as we thought and now Magneto and his army will once again be able to fight against us. We have come into agreement that we are in need of more X-Men to join are fight. I will start calling students today, which I feel are capable of this. The first five are: Alison Crestmere a.k.a. Magma. Second, Jubilation Lee a.k.a. Jubilee. Third, Warren Worthington III a.k.a. Angel. Fourth, Remy Lebleau a.k.a. Gambit. Fifth, and as much as I would like to bring you all on the team, the fifth is a new faculty member: Kurt Wagner a.k.a. Nightcrawler.”

“Rogue?” Logan asked. He walked through the hole in her wall. “Are you okay?” Rogue sat on her bed.
“No, Logan,” Rogue said. “I almost killed my boyfriend. What happened?”
“Hank just found out that the cure isn’t permanent,” Logan said. “I’m sorry.”
“I wish they would have told me that when they stuck the needle in me,” Rogue said. She started crying. “Why does being a mutant have to be so difficult?”
“Others have it worse,” a voice said. It was Nightcrawler. “Come with me Rogue. I have to travel to visit a dying friend. Would you come with me?”
“Why?” Rogue asked.
“Because, I have to show you that others are a lot worse than you,” Nightcrawler said. “Now, take my hand.”
“I am going too,” Logan said. He grabbed Nightcrawler’s other hand.

“I can’t believe he chose us!” Jubilee told her friend, Alison. She tied her pouch back around her waster.
“Yeah,” Alison said. “It’s weird. Hey, do you want to go check on Rogue?”
“Yes, we probably should,” Jubilee said. They walked up the steps and saw the big hole in her wall. “Wow, I didn’t think it was this bad.” The girls stepped through the hole.
“Rogue?” Alison asked. “Are you in here?” There was no sign of her.
“She’s not here,” Jubilee said.

“It would appear that way,” a voice from behind them said. The two girls turned around to see a fellow classmate. It was Emma Frost. There was silence for a few seconds. “That’s not really what you think of me, is it, Jubilee?”
“Stay out of my mind, Emma!” Jubilee said.
“You know it is against the rules to use your powers on other students,” Alison said.
“It’s also against school rules to have a boy locked in your room, but that didn’t stop Rogue,” Emma said. “What do think Storm will do to her when she returns?”
“Get out!” Jubilee said. “Or is someone just upset that no matter how rich she is, she wasn’t chosen today?”
“There’s always tomorrow,” Emma said. She flipped her shiny, blond hair and left Rogue’s room.
“What do you think they will do to Rogue when she gets back?” Jubilee said. She turned to Alison.
“I have no clue,” Alison said. “We better go. We are going to be later for Professor McCoy’s class. Did you ever finish that paper for the class?”
“Just barely,” Jubilee said. “I had to copy Warren’s notes, but I got it done.”
“Boy, Warren is something, huh?” Alison asked.
“Yeah,” Jubilee said. “Are you two an item?”
“Unofficially,” Alison said. “I’m kind of waiting for him to make the first move, but we hang out a lot. It’s cool that we were both chosen to join the X-Men.”
“Us three, Professor Lebleau, and the new Professor. What was his name?” Jubilee asked.
“His name is Nightcrawler or Kurt Wagner. Don’t you remember seeing him a couple years ago?” Alison asked. “Didn’t he help you out of that cell thing at Alkali Lake?”
“Oh, yeah,” Jubilee said. “That was a while ago. Well we better be getting to class.”
“All right,” Alison said. They walked out of the hole in wall.

“His name is Shiro Yoshida,” Nightcrawler said. “That is his name by day, his mutant name is Sunfire.”
“What is wrong with him?” Rogue asked. She looked on the bed at the dying mutant. “What happened to him?”
“He has been in critical condition for several years now. This is where I have been. Before Lady Deathstrike was killed, she hurt him. She hurt him very bad,” Nightcrawler said. “I don’t think he has very long. I want you to talk with him.”

“What should I say?” Rogue asked. Logan wasn’t saying anything. He was just there to keep an eye on Rogue.
“He loves to hear stories about the X-Men,” Nightcrawler said. Kurt offered Rogue and Logan a seat. They both sat down.
“Hey, Shiro,” Rogue said. “My name is Marie… I mean Rogue. I became one of the X-Men recently, but I’ve seen a lot. When I first came across the X-Men, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to stay. But they do a lot of good. There was this one time Magneto had me on the top of the Statue of Liberty. That is how I have my white stripe in my hair. Later on, we made a trip to Alkali Lake and we fought Striker and Lady Deathstrike. That was the first time I met Kurt. And here recently, they had a cure to cure us of being mutants. I…um… I took the cure, but it didn’t work and I almost killed my boyfriend.” Sunfire grabbed Rogue arm. He noticed that she had gloves on.
“What is your gift?” Sunfire asked. He looked up at her.
“I absorb other mutants powers temporarily,” Rogue said. “I don’t like it.”
“I wish to speak with Rogue alone,” Sunfire said. He looked at Logan and Kurt. Nightcrawler nodded and grabbed Logan. He teleported out of the room.
“What did you need me for?” Rogue looked worried.
“I know something about your powers,” Sunfire said. “There are other mutants with your same powers. You can keep some powers permanently.”
“But that would kill the mutant,” Rogue said.
“It doesn’t have to,” Sunfire said. “If the mutant is strong enough, it won’t kill them, it will just take their powers away.”
“Well, I don’t want to risk it,” Rogue said.
“Listen, I need to ask you a favor,” Sunfire said. “I am going to die in day now. I don’t want my powers to die with me. Take them!”
“What?” Rogue asked. “I can’t. It will kill you.”
“I’m going to die soon anyway,” Sunfire said. “Please. These powers are too great to die.”
Rogue took a moment to think. “Alright, I will. I’m not a child anymore and it is time to make my own decisions. Tell me when.”
“Right now,” Sunfire said. “Please open the door for Kurt and your friend.” Rogue went over and opened the door. Nightcrawler and Logan walked in. Sunfire explained what was going on and everyone agreed what had to be done.
“How do you know if it will be permanent?” Rogue asked.
“One, I’m giving you these powers willingly, and two you are going to concentrate,” Sunfire said. “Picture obtaining the powers permanently.”
“Okay,” Rogue said. “Thank you.”
“Thank you,” Sunfire said. They grabbed hands and Sunfire’s face started to change. Sunfire was dying. Rogue stood there as the power entered into her. There was a fiery red energy flowing between them.
“Is she okay?” Logan asked Kurt.
“She is fine,” Kurt said. “She is just getting some new powers. She will be fine.”
“God!” Rogue yelled. “Ahhh!”
“Help her!” Logan yelled.
“It is done,” Kurt said.

“Okay,” Alison said. “That class was pretty boring.”
“You can say that again,” Jubilee said.
“Hey guys,” Bobby said.
“Bobby!” The girls yelled. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine,” Bobby said. “Have you guys seen Rogue?”
“No,” Jubilee said. “We looked for her in her room earlier, but she wasn’t there.”
“I hope she isn’t upset about what happened,” Bobby said. “I understand that it was an accident. And it was my fault to suggest freezing the door. They could have gotten to me faster, if…”
“It’s not your fault,” Alison said. “Now, shall we get to Gambit’s class?”
“I don’t really feel like going to class,” Bobby said. “Do you guys want to skip with me and go in the Danger Room?”
“Can we?” Jubilee asked. She looked at Alison and then at Bobby.
“From what I’ve heard, you guys are part of the new X-Men. And I am already an X-Men. I have authorization to enter the Danger Room at any means necessary,” Bobby said. They agreed and followed Bobby to the training room.

“Here we are,” Bobby said. He opened the Danger Room door. “Just give me a second and I will type in the code.”
“Okay,” the girls said.
“What are you guys doing?” A voice from behind them said. They turned around and saw Storm. She didn’t look mad or happy. “Bobby? Shouldn’t you be resting?”
“I just needed to blow off some steam,” Bobby said. “I’m sorry.”
“It’s fine,” Storm said. “I actually came down here to do the same. I just wanted some partners. So are these some of the new X-Men?”
“Yes,” Bobby said. “So, is it alright if we train with you?”
“Just this once, Bobby,” Storm said. “I’ll write you three an excuse for Gambit when we are done. I think I will type in two Sentinels.”
“Two?” Bobby asked. “We can barely finish off one!”
“Well, we may need to finish off more than that,” Storm said. “Two.” She looked at the two girls and they nodded. “Since you two have never been in the Danger Room, I will help you guys out. Bobby, you know what to do.”

A dangerous battle-field surrounded them. “Everyone ready!” Storm yelled. They heard loud footsteps. “Here one of them comes!” The Sentinel looked down at them. Bobby started to freeze its legs, but the Sentinel broke fear. “Bobby! The ice has to be thicker!”
“Got it,” Bobby said. He made an ice ramp and slid on it in his full ice body. He then froze the Sentinel’s legs again. This time the Sentinel couldn’t break.
“It’s spark time!” Jubilee said. She rose her hands in the air and sparks flew out of them and hit the Sentinel. The Sentinel started to jerk around. Jubilee kept this up for several minutes. “I can’t do it for much longer.”
“Hang on!” Alison yelled. She ran over and stood in front of Jubilee. She then raised her hands and fire started to come out of her hands. She started to throw the fire at the Sentinel.
“Where’s the other one?” Jubilee asked.
“I’m not sure,” Storm said. She ran over to assist the students. “Let me finish him off!” She floated in the air and electric shocks ran out of her hands. The Sentinel busted and exploded over everything. Bobby made a shield out of ice above the four of them and all of the debris just bounced off.
“Thanks, Bobby,” Alison said.
“Now, where’s the other one?” Storm said.
“I hear it!” Jubilee said. “It’s coming from over there.” She pointed over to an area covered up by smoke. She started to run over there.
“That’s not going to happen,” a large figure appeared. It was Sabertooth. “How’s it going?” Beside him was Toad, Lady Deathstrike, Callisto, Blob, Psylocke, Spyke, and Archlight, and Pyro were there.

“What?” Bobby said. “Most of these guys are dead.”
“No kidding?” Alison said sarcastically. She back away. “We can’t take all of these mutants.”
“Yes, we can,” Storm said.
“Did you do this?” Jubilee asked.
“Yes,” Storm said. “I believe in you guys.” She went over and Callisto started hitting her and moving and hitting, and moving and hitting.
Jubilee stuck her hands in the air again and sparks started to shoot out at Blob. Blob started screaming. Then Jubilee let her hands down. It had barely fazed him. “Oh, crap!” She started to run in a different direction. Blob started chasing after her. The Sentinel started following Jubilee too. “Somebody help me!”
“Just a second, Jubilee,” Bobby said. He froze Spyke, Archlight and Psylocke. “Right behind you, Jubilee!” He chased after Jubilee, Blob, and the Sentinel.
“I don’t think so, Bobby,” Pyro said. He chased after all of them.
“Where’d everybody go?” Alison asked herself. She stared at Toad, Lady Deathstrike, and Sabertooth. Fire started coming out of her hands and she threw a fireball at Toad. Toad dodged it. “Alright, it’s time to get down to business. Alison had fire in both of her hands. She threw one fireball at Sabertooth and one at Lady Deathstrike. It hit both of them, but didn’t kill either one of them. Toad started hopping over to her and his tongue shot out, but Alison ducked. When she got up she threw another fireball at Toad. Toad turned to smoke and disappeared. “Awesome.”
“Don’t you ever quit?” Storm asked. She floated in the air and shocked Callisto. But when she floated down, Callisto was ready for her and she kicked Storm over.

Storm fell on the ground. Then Bobby and Jubilee flew over right beside her. Alison ran over to help them.
“There’s too many for us,” Jubilee said. “We can’t take them.”
“Yes we can,” a voice popped in. It was Logan. “Are you guys always sitting down?” Standing beside him was Rogue and Nightcrawler.
“Let’s get them,” Nightcrawler said. He teleported behind Lady Deathstrike and kicked her straight into Logan’s claws. Logan pulled his claws out and kicked her back.
“Rogue, use your powers!” Logan said. Rogue stood in front of everybody and started throwing fireballs at Sabertooth. She threw one after another.
“No!!!” Sabertooth yelled. He turned into smoke and disappeared. Everyone looked at Rogue.
“Surprise,” Rogue said. She looked uncomfortable. Then Blob started running at Jubilee again.
“Come here, girly!” Blob yelled. Jubilee turned around and sparks came out and shocked him. It really wasn’t affecting him though. So Rogue started throwing more fireballs. That still wasn’t affecting him. Then Alison joined in with the fireballs. The three of them together took him out. He burst into smoke.
“That was crazy,” Jubilee said.
“Yeah,” Rogue agreed. She watched Bobby trying to fight off Pyro. “Be careful, Bobby!”

Bobby turned into his ice form. He froze Pyro.
“How do I make him go ‘poof’?” Bobby asked.
“Like this,” Alison said. “Rogue? You want to help me?”
“Sure,” Rogue said. Both of them threw a fireball at the ice sculpture and the whole thing broke into a million pieces. Including Pyro.
“Who’s left?” Storm asked. She looked at Logan.
“Looks like your friend: Callisto, my friend: Cat Woman, and the three frozen amigos,” Logan said. “I’ll take Cat Woman.”
“I’ve got Callisto!” Storm yelled. Both of them ran separate ways. That left the three frozen, to Bobby, Kurt, Alison, Rogue, and Jubilee.
“Jubilee,” Rogue said. “Give them a little charge.”
“Okay,” Jubilee said. She started electrocuting the ice statues. Then Alison and Rogue started throwing fire balls at them. They kept throwing and throwing. Finally, the statues broke and ended up just like Pyro had.
Storm blew Callisto against a building and Callisto hit hard. Then Storm ran over and started shocking her continuously.

Callisto eventually turned into smoke like the others.
Logan started fighting Lady Deathstrike, Claw to Claw. He stuck his claws into her chest and she stuck them in his back. Then with one of his arms, he stuck his claws in her eyes. He quickly pulled all of his claws out of her and Rogue sent a fireball her way. She burst into smoke.
The group gathered together when they were finished.
“We have the other Sentinel, though,” Jubilee said.
“She’s right,” Bobby said.
“Who cooked this up?” Logan said. “All of those mutants and a Sentinel? Are you crazy?”
“Actually, there were two Sentinel,” Alison said.
“Two?” Logan asked. He shook his head.
“Okay,” Storm said. “It all might have been a bit much. But they handled it!”
“No time to argue,” Kurt said. He looked up at the Sentinel above him. A blast of red light shot down at them. Kurt teleported up to the Sentinel’s head.
“Take me with you!” Logan yelled up there. Kurt teleported back down, grabbed Logan, then teleported back up.
“Bobby,” Storm said. “Freeze its legs again.”
“You got it,” Bobby said. He froze every inch of the Sentinel’s legs. The Sentinel couldn’t move.
“Alright, guys,” Storm said. “Work your magic. I’m going up there to help them.” Storm floated up in the air and was soon out of sight.
“Alison, you come over here with me,” Rogue said. “More fire power, the better.”
“Okay,” Alison said. She went over with Rogue.
“Jubilee, how about some sparklers?” Rogue asked. “We are about to make him look like a bottle rocket on the Fourth of July. Bobby! Keep those legs frozen!”
“I’m on it, Rogue,” Bobby said.
Rogue and Alison started throwing some major fireballs at the Sentinel’s waist. They didn’t throw much higher, because they couldn’t see much higher and they might hit Storm, Logan, or Kurt. Jubilee’s sparks was keep it jerking around though. All of a sudden, Kurt teleported beside Rogue and Alison. He then grabbed Rogue. He then teleported back up.
“What am I doing up here?” Rogue asked.
“Throw a fire ball into his head,” Logan said.
“Alright,” Rogue said. She threw a fireball straight at its head. And when she did, the room was white again. Everyone was back in the Danger Room.
“That was thrilling!” Jubilee said.
“Yeah,” Alison agreed. “Nice powers, Rogue.”
“Thanks,” Rogue said.
“Rogue,” Bobby walked over to her and kissed her. They sat down next to each other.
“Okay, Logan said. He pulled Bobby off of Rogue. “Don’t we remember where this got us last time?”
“Yeah,” Bobby and Rogue agreed. They all left the Danger Room.

“That was really awesome though!” Jubilee said. She sat her lunch tray down at a table.
“Now, we’ll never shut her up,” Alison said, joining her. She sat by Jubilee. Then Rogue and Bobby came over to sit by them.
“Is she still in aw?” Rogue asked.
“Yep,” Alison said. Angel sat down right by her.
“So I heard you guys had a little adventure today?” Angel asked.
“Yes, Warren,” Alison said. “Jealous?”
“Yes,” Angel said. He tried to hide his feelings. Then Kitty and Colossus came to sit with them.
“Is there room for us?” Kitty asked.
“Of course,” Rogue said. “You guys missed out on an awesome time.”
“I heard you got some new powers,” Kitty said.
“Yeah,” Rogue said. “It was pretty cool.” Rogue looked around her. There was Bobby, Jubilee, Alison, Angel, Kitty, and Colossus. It just felt like something or someone was missing. She looked over at a girl who had just gotten out of the lunch line. It was Emma. “What is her deal?”
“Emma?” Alison asked. “She is just a stuck up rich kid. She was snooping in your room earlier. I don’t think she’s bad, just confused. She’s only been here about two weeks and I can’t stand her.”
“Power?” Rogue asked.
“Telekinesis,” Alison said. She was curious why Rogue was so curious. “Why?”
“I don’t know,” Rogue said. “Something weird. Never mind though. I was thinking maybe this weekend, Storm would let us all in the Danger Room and we could take something on. We are all X-Men now.”
“That is so neat,” Jubilee said. “We are all X-Men.”
“Yeah,” Kitty said. “It feels right.”
“Oh, does it?” Logan showed up. “You’re still kids and I want you all to treat this like a very important matter. Besides. You are all scheduled for a morning training. You seven, me, Storm, Nightcrawler, and Beast. This should be interesting. Storm tells me that she is putting you seven in, in the morning before the next five are announced.”
“Actually, there isn’t going to be a next five,” Beast said. He leaned over Logan’s shoulder. “I have decided that these young seven are enough. They have proven to be great in the field.”
The students gave each other astounding looks.
“Thanks Professor,” Alison said. “What time should we be in the Danger Room?”
“6:30,” Beast said. “And not a second later.” They all smiled.
“This should be interesting,” Kitty said. “Listen, I have to go prep for a speech in Gambit’s class. I’ll see you all tonight or if not, tomorrow morning.”
“Bye,” Everyone said. Kitty walked over to a wall and phased through it.
“What a showoff,” Colossus laughed. He got up with Angel and the two walked out.
“Looks like we’re on our own for lunch,” Jubilee said. She looked at Alison, Rogue, and Bobby.
“Guys,” Bobby said. “This is our last year. I was just thinking about that. After this year, we will be full-fledged X-Men. We will be leaving here and moving on.”
“Yeah,” Rogue said. “What do you think you guys will do after school?”
“Well,” Bobby said. “I was thinking about staying here. You know, maybe as a professor.”
“I was thinking of the same thing,” Rogue said.
“Me too,” Jubilee added. They all looked at Alison.
“Not me,” Alison said. “I’m going to find my family again. After this year, I’m gone.”
“Oh, come on,” Rogue said. “You aren’t going to hang around at all?”
“A lot of people aren’t,” Alison said. “But, a lot are. Not everyone knows where to go after this. But I do.”
“Well, we better go,” Bobby said. “We have to make up Gambit’s class.”
“Yeah,” Jubilee said. The four of them finished their lunch and walked out of the lunchroom.
Watching from their own seats was Storm, Logan, Beast, and Kurt.
“They have grown up, so much,” Storm said. “The Professor would be proud.”
“Yeah,” Logan said. “I know, I am.”
“They got a lot of work ahead of them," Storm said.
"Yeah, but they can handle it," Logan said. He looked back at Storm, Hank, and Kurt. "But, we'll be there to help them."
"But we won't always be there," Storm said. Beast nodded in agreement.
"Then, let's just be here for them, now," Logan said.

In a little cubical office, Raven was working diligently. She looked at her paperwork. She then looked outside the cubical at everyone else. She went to grab her coffee and then looked at her hand. It was turning blue again. "Excellent," she said. She stepped up and walked out of the building.

"You all are part of the new beginning," John said. "All of us." He looked at a group of Morlocks. "Several of our greatest allies have been lost, but we can start anew. The new war... Begins!"

Sorry about the pictures guys, I think they are working now. I hope you guys are liking the first episode. Next up is The Second Evil!!!

[The Second Evil]

I’m glad to at last see all your hard work come to fruition. This is what I’ve been waiting for, for a long time. Mixed feelings, mostly positive, but there were a few little things I did pick up on.

I was impressed at how you wrote Storm and the Beast. Being two of my favorite X-Men characters, I was glad that you were able to capture their character’s essences in their dialogue and use their various mannerisms in your writing style.

I also enjoyed the action scenes. They came at just the right time in the episode and were suitably inventive. Plus: a great ending!

Although like I said, I did notice a few things that brought down my overall view of the episode. I think it was mainly the enormous cast list that hinders the overall effect of your writing. Having so many characters is a huge undertaking and when I read this episode, it basically meant that I could familiarize myself very well with the newer faces from the comics as I was just so overwhelmed. I think the best thing you could’ve done is starting off with the Movie Characters, then slowly adding in the recurring minors as the season goes on.

In addition, I think more could’ve been done to make a few of the conversations a bit less casual and more formal. Basically like we saw in the movies. In this, I felt it was a bit odd how a few bits of dialogue were a little out of character – mainly Rogue.

Constructive criticism, so I hope you don’t take it too much to heart! I did enjoy this, but I think it could’ve been even better if you had given it to the others in your writing team first so that they could’ve critiqued it before it had been posted. But other than that I’m looking forward to writing my own episode! I have it all planned out, and can’t wait to hear what you think of it.

Thanks. I'm sorry I didn't send it to you guys first. I just had missed so many dealines so far, I didn't want to let everyone down. Yes, I have learned that Rogue is very hard to write. She is the southern belle, and I am not good at getting that across. And I agree, a smaller cast could have been better, but I really wanted to make it feel like even though we hadn't seen them in the movies, they were always there, so that is where the casual came in at. I hope everyone else is enjoying this. Next time I will work harder to make it great.
