Alright, so this is the last chapter. =[ I want to really thank all of my readers, because most of you have been there from the start. I loved reading each review, and I loved learning that this story is one of the better Todd/OC ones. I can't thank any of you enough. =]

So, enjoy!

"Pietro?!" Avalanche said from above Combust. Quicksilver sped over to him, his arms still folded.

"Yeah. Miss me?" He asked. Combust stood up shakily, and threw a fireball at him. He was sent to the ground.

"No, and neither did that." She said snidely. Quicksilver shook himself off, and wiped some ash off his face. He stood up, and looked at her.

"Well, someone's been practicing." He observed. Before another word could be said, Toad jumped at Quicksilver, taking him to the ground. Thus, the fighting began.

Wolverine, Combust, Avalanche, Nightcrawler, and Shadowcat went after Blue-Jet, whom had started running. He jumped into the air, and the lower half of his body took the shape of a blue lightning bolt. This allowed him to shoot through the air quickly. But as he did, pieces of concrete shot out from under him, sending debris and objects flying. Wolverine looked at Combust. "Kid's powerful." He grunted. She ran alongside him and gave him a look.

"What gave that away?" She snapped in between breaths. Shadowcat ran behind them, phasing through larger objects as Combust and Wolverine dodged them.

As rocks and concrete passed through Shadowcat, Avalanche made them explode, and Nightcrawler teleported out of the way as he ran. They all took a sharp left turn, and Blue-Jet shot through a chain link fence. The four X-Men, and Avalanche jumped through the opening, and noticed Blue-Jet had vanished.

"Like…where'd he go?" Shadowcat asked as she caught her breath. Wolverine lifted his chin up as he sniffed the air.

"He's…around." Wolverine deduced. "He hasn't left…"

"Where are we, anyway?" Avalanche asked. Nightcrawler looked around.

"It looks like we are in some kind of…electrical warehouse?" He suggested.

"The old power plant." Combust and Wolverine said together. "This thing is due to be torn down next week. The new one was built up the road. This place is supposed to be abandoned, but don't touch anything." Wolverine instructed. The five mutants went in different directions, cautiously looking for any sign of Blue-Jet.

Quicksilver dodged each of the mutants' attacks. Cyclops shot a laser at a pole above Quicksilver, but he had sidestepped that with ease. Jean tried grabbing the speedster, but he was moving way too fast. Toad had managed to hit him with his solidifying spit once in the leg, sticking the blond to the street. But, all Quicksilver had to do, was move the right way, at the right speed, and he was free. Blob had also managed to throw Quicksilver off his feet by throwing his fists down onto the ground, causing an earthquake similar to something Avalanche would have done.

Rogue had joined the efforts after receiving a message from Xavier. She arrived as soon as she could. Jean and Blob transferred some of their powers to Rogue, but it didn't help. Quicksilver had obviously been doing some training while he was away, and he was much faster than he used to be.

"You missed me." Quicksilver said after Cyclops tried zapping him. He tried again. "Missed again! Come on, third time's a charm." The speed demon encouraged. Blob took this moment to throw a piece of a building at Quicksilver. He saw it at the last second, and took off in the direction that Blue-Jet had flown in.

Combust walked slowly, listening. She jumped and ignited her hands when she heard a surging sound behind her. Seeing nothing, Combust calmed.

Wolverine was doing the same as his niece. He was on the opposite side of the power plant. He spotted a shadow darting ahead, and took off after it.

Shadowcat and Avalanche walked back to back, slowly rotating. Being partnered with Shadowcat wasn't always a good thing; if something attacked her, it'd go through her, and hit her partner. But Avalanche knew this. He wanted to spend as much time as he could with her. "Lance, man…Where is he…?" His girlfriend asked him. Avalanche looked around.

"I'm not sure."

"If I was an insane mutant with electric powers, where would I hide…?" Nightcrawler asked himself. He crept along a terminal, and looked at it. He saw his reflection in it, and then something dawned on him. Quickly, he teleported out of sight.

Combust almost had a heart attack when she walked into Nightcrawler. "What did you do that for?!" She snapped quietly. He grabbed her shoulders.

"I know where he is." Nightcrawler said quickly. The pyro in front of him looked around frantically.

"Where?!" She said.

"…Everywhere." Nightcrawler said ominously. He looked around at the wires, and the towers that were above. "Find your uncle. I'm getting Shadowcat and Avalanche." Combust nodded, and started running in the other direction.

Just as she did, the factory around her came alive. A wire broke from a tower above her, and swung down. Combust dove out of the way at the last second, and kept running. "Wolverine!" She screamed.

Wolverine had turned into a dead end. His eyes narrowed and he sniffed the air. Blue-Jet's scent was there. It was everywhere, but nowhere at the same time. Again, his ears pricked up when he heard his niece calling after him. Wolverine turned and saw her running at him. "He phased into the machinery and wires!" He heard her yell. Wolverine didn't have time to process this; a loud sizzling sound was heard, and another wire came down. Upon reflex, Wolverine shot out his claws to slash them. Metal met electricity, and there was a loud surging noise as energy ran through Wolverine.

Combust froze and she stared wide eyed at her Uncle's twitching body. The sight would have been comical if it wasn't for the burning smell. "Unlce Logan!" She cried. As she sprinted at her uncle, she had to dodge wires and sparks that were coming at her. She couldn't blow it up, because that would cause a huge chain reaction. This meant she couldn't set fire to anything either.

Quicksilver had taken that opportunity to zoom in, and knock Combust off her feet. The other X-Men and the rest of the Brotherhood arrived soon after. "Well, well. You're just falling hard for me, aren't you?" Quicksilver smirked at Combust. A fire blast to his chest sent him sailing into a machine behind him.

"Not as hard as you." Combust said. She got to her feet. She glanced over at Wolverine, whom was lying on the ground, sparking with electricity. The live wire danced on the ground a few feet away. She went to step toward him.

"I'm not done with you." Quicksilver said darkly. He grabbed the pyro by her hair, and pulled her back. She pushed against him, and the two fell to the ground.

Jean lifted the wire up with her powers, and sent it back to its original spot. Toad shot some spray at it, and it bonded to the tower. Jean smiled approvingly at Toad, and he returned it. He looked over at Combust, whom was rolling on the ground, trying to avoid Quicksilver's punches. Toad saw the determined look in her eye, but he also saw she was afraid. Combust knew Quicksilver was enraged. He wanted to hit her until she couldn't move for what she had done to him. But, she was just as angry. He had tried to kill her. Sure, Combust had gotten some punches in that day, but she was stopped too early.

Quicksilver's punches were too quick for Combust to dodge. She took to hiding her face with her arms, so they received most of the blows. Then he went to hit her ribs. Toad had enough. His tongue shot out, grabbed Combust, and flung her body into his. He caught her with ease, and set her next to him. The couple smiled at each other, and then they face Quicksilver.

The rest of the X-Men and Brotherhood were busy trying to destroy the old power plant. Cyclops and Rogue shot lasers at the towers, and machinery. Blob and Avalanche were throwing what they could at various objects. Shadowcat was making herself useful by phasing into machines and taken out their inner workings. As they did this, each mutant had the same question in their heads; Just where exactly was Blue-Jet?

Jean and Nightcrawler were at Wolverine's side, helping him to his feet. Wires still fell randomly and tried to come after them. Jean formed a safety dome with her powers and the wires simply bounced off.

Combust and Toad simultaneously attacked Quicksilver. He tried speeding in between the two, but he was cornered. "Now what are ya gunna do, yo?" Toad asked him. Quicksilver looked like a cornered mouse. Combust was looking at him with red eyes, and her hair was falling over her face. Toad was looking at Quicksilver with hatred in his eyes. He had always been the biggest jerk to him. Him, and Duncan. This was his moment to get back at him. Toad knew it probably wasn't the best thing, seeking revenge, but right now, he didn't care. All he cared about was the girl next to him, and punching the speedster in front of him.

"We need to get out of here! This whole place is coming alive!" Jean yelled. Electricity and wires were making their way toward the fighting teens. There was a loud laughter that echoed through the power plant. It seemed to be coming from the sparks and wires.

Combust and Toad glanced above them and ducked as wires swung back and forth. Quicksilver took this moment and tried to get away. Jean spotted this, and quickly broke a dead wire, and wrapped that around him. It went from his shoulders to his ankles. "Now try running." Jean challenged. He looked up at her from the ground with narrow eyes.

"X-Men, get out of here!" Cyclops instructed as he shot at a wire coming at him.

"Guys, follow them!" Avalanche yelled after Cyclops. Blob picked up Quicksilver again, and slung him over his shoulder. Everyone ran out as fast as they could, dodging sparks, and pops of electricity that followed them. They made it outside the chain link fence, which had turned into an electrical one.

"Yo, how are we gunna destroy this thing, yo?" Toad asked. He had an arm around Combust, and they were all staring at the old power plant. Wolverine was looking at Combust. After seeing this, one by one, each mutant looked at her. She finally felt their stare and looked at them all.

"…Why are you all staring at me…?" She asked. A sudden realization dawned on her. "Really? But the rest of the city-"

"Won't be affected." Jean interrupted. She floated up into the air, and a filmy bubble formed around the power plant, which was still alive and kicking.

"You could kill her!" Toad shouted. Combust looked at him, and touched his shoulder. He looked at her, she smiled, and kissed him gently. Then she stepped forward.

Combust took a deep breath, and raised her arms. Her eyes turned red, and the objects in front of them; the wires, the turbines, the buildings, the fence, they all started shaking. As if sensing she was about to blow up the place, a loud thunder crash was heard, and it started pouring. Everyone but Jean looked up to see Storm's floating figure above. "Charles suggested a little cover. Carry on, child." She instructed Combust.

Another deep breath, and Combust's now soaked body focused all her energy. Her eyes clenched shut, and she gritted her teeth. Her hands suddenly went into fists. Then, loud explosion was covered by an equally loud thunder crash.

Jean dilated the bubbled to compress the smoke and fire. Once the fire was controlled, she dropped the bubble completely, and landed on the ground. The rain put out the fire, and all eyes went to Combust. She was rocking slightly, and she then fell. Before she hit the ground, Toad caught her, and he sent glares at the others. "You see, man?" He chided. "You coulda killed her!"

"Todd…" Said a weak voice. Toad, Todd now, looked down at his best friend, and now girlfriend.

"Yeah, Ari?" He asked her quietly.

"Shut up…" She said whilst sitting up slowly. She looked at Todd, while Wolverine laughed slightly.

"Oh yeah, I'm alright with this." Wolverine said looking at his niece's smirk, and Todd's wide eyes. Ari laughed gently, and reached up to meet her lips with Todd's.

The storm was taken down a few notches to just rain, and Storm joined them. All of them, but Quicksilver, watched the smoking, old power plant, which was almost completely gone.

Above them, a long stream of electricity traveled along a telephone wire. It hit a building, and traveled down the metal gutter. Once it hit the ground, it seemed to solidify. Blue, spiky hair appeared first, and then the smirking face. After, Blue-Jet's body formed as he leaned on the side of the building. He stared at the mutants and caught Quicksilver's eye when he lifted his head from Blob's back. The pair shared a smirk, and after, Blue-Jet turned into his previous form, traveled up the gutter behind him, and was out of sight.

Well, that took longer than expected. Okay, well, guys, it was a blast taking you all on this adventure. I hope you all enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Signing for the last time,

XOXO
