Main Recapped Parts: at the end of Unexpected Secrets, Logan mysteriously disappeared from a blue light that came out of no where. Beast had been abducted by Mesmero and Stryfe and Dark Beast was created from him and sent to the mansion while Beast stayed prisoner. X-23 came to the mansion when she tried to kill Logan, but found a new life instead, which she is happy, but won't admit it. The Morlock Massacre already happened and Remy took in Sarah. John, Wanda and Pietro were part of Magneto's team until they left and joined the X-Men.
It had been two weeks since the mansion had been destroyed by Legion. Professor Charles Xavier had hired men to start rebuilding the mansion while the teachers and the students that decided to stay in the Danger Room.
Two days ago, the school had received five new students and a teacher. All of them were notified about what had happened to the mansions condition. Even though the students had no class room to learn in, Ororo, Kurt, Warren, and Betsy still held their classes each day. Scott and Jean had theirs canceled for a week due to their wedding and honeymoon. The couple had been married the week before, even after all the sadness that had happened.
None of the students who had been there longer thought the mansion was the same after Logan disappeared. No one knew what happened to him after the light surrounded him and vanished. Jean, Betsy, and the Professor had used Cerebro many times to try and find a trace of him, but so far there was nothing.
John Allerdyce aka Pyro sighed as he sat on his bed flipping through his history book. Of all the things to read about, the Romans were not at the top of his list. He pushed the book aside and pulled out his notebook where all his writings were. He had started writing a poem for Wanda three days ago on how he feels about her and planned on showing it to her once it was done.
"Hey John." He heard a female voice say as someone sat down next to him. He looked over to see one of the new students, Alison Crestmore aka Magma, sitting next to him with her hands folded over her English book.
"Hey Alison." John responded and then went back to writing.
"I was wondering if you could help me with my English assignment." She asked innocently as she flipped through her book to the page on the persuasive letter. "I just don't know how to start any of this. I know you are really good with writings so, could you help me?"
"Um, sure." John answered, placing his pen and paper to the side. "Who are you trying to persuade?" He asked her.
"Hm, maybe the government to stop hating mutants?" She looked over at him for approval.
"Okay, so start it off with Dear Mr. or Mrs. whoever you are writing to. Then start talking about what you are trying to persuade them to do." John told her.
"Thanks. Once I've written it, do you think you could take a look at it to make sure it is done right?" Alison leaned her head against his shoulder and rested her hand on top of his.
"Ugh, sure. Hey Wanda." John greeted his girlfriend, Wanda Maximoff, who was walking over toward them.
"Thanks John, you're so sweet." Alison told him as she kissed him on the cheek before leaving.
"Got a new friend?" Wanda asked, standing in front of John with a hand on her hip.
"It's not what it looks like. She just asked for help her homework." John reassured her. Wanda sighed and sat down next to him.
"I already don't like her. If she kisses you again, she will be missing parts of her body." Wanda threatened as she glared over at Alison. This was the second time she had caught the blond hair girl flirting with her boyfriend. She swore if no one was around she would be hexing Alison all around the Danger Room until the girl got sick.
"Aw, you're jealous." John smirked as he wrapped an arm around her waist to bring her closer to him.
"Hardly. I just don't like girls kissing my John. Especially someone I don't know." Wanda growled.
Across the room, Alison threw her books on her bed and turned to look at John once more. What she found was Wanda glaring daggers at her and decided to turn back around. 'Darnit, why couldn't I have met him first.' She thought to herself sadly.
"Hey Alison. How are ya?" Sam Gurthie aka Cannonball asked her. Like her, he was one of the new students that had just arrived.
"I'm fine I guess." Alison answered with a sigh as she turned around again to look at John.
"Ah was wonderin' if mebbe ya would like ta go out later on?" Sam asked her as he scratched the back of his neck nervously.
"No thanks, I got some studying to do. I'll see you later." Alison told him as she left. Sam sighed while watching her leave.
"Aw, it's okay Sammie." Sam felt an arm around his shoulders and looked over to see Domino standing next to him. "I'm sure one of these days she'll finally go on a date with you. I mean we've only been here for what a day or two now?" She asked.
"Yeah, Ah hope ya are right. All she does is look at that John guy." Sam whispered.
"Eh, don't let it upset you." Domino rolled her eyes as she began to walk away and over to her bed. 'This place is really boring for a school that has been attacked over and over again. Where is the fun?' She thought to herself. She sat on her bed and looked over at a green haired girl who was talking to a blonde haired guy.
"So, you like this place so far?" Lorna Dane asked Alex Summers.
"Yeah, this place is great. I wish I came here earlier." Alex smiled at her. He had arrived last week for his brother's wedding and had planned to take off after. That was until he saw Lorna and decided to stick around for a few more weeks.
"It's great here, just as long as no one is attacking the mansion or trying to kill us." Lorna sighed.
"So, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out tonight?" Alex asked her. She looked over at him uneasy.
"Um, Alex, I'm dating Bobby." Lorna told him, hoping he didn't take it the wrong way. She had thought of him as a friend and that was it. "Besides, I'm going out with him tonight."
"Haha, yeah I know." Alex laughed. "Maybe we could hang out tomorrow night, just the two of us?" He asked her.
"Um sure, I got no plans." She smiled at him. "See ya then." The green haired girl replied as she got up from the bed. "I'll see ya later." She told him as she walked towards the exit and to the temporary kitchen in the War Room.
Alex smiled as he watched her go. 'Wow.' He thought to himself, not hearing someone walk behind him until he was tapped on the shoulder. He turned around to see Bobby Drake standing behind him. "What do you want, Drake?" The younger Summers asked in an annoyed voice.
"Why do you want to hang out with Lorna so much? There are other people here that you could hang out with, but you always choose her." Iceman stated.
"Because I think she is a good friend." Alex answered as he rolled his eyes to stand up. "If you got a problem with it, deal with it." He sneered.
Bobby grabbed the other mutants arm so he couldn't get away from him. "I know that look. It's the same look that I had when I first met her. You like her more than that." He announced.
"So what if I do? Nothing you can do about it." Havok got up from the bed and brushed Bobby's hand off him in disgust. Bobby's hands iced up as orange plasma surrounded Alex's.
"Boys, break it up. This place is too crowded for a fight. Either you go outside and continue this, or knock it off. I would suggest the second one." Sage told the two young men. She had recently arrived at the school to become a teacher. Four years ago, she had met Charles Xavier and had kept in contact with him if he ever needed help. When he told her that the mansion was destroyed and had lost a teacher, she flew over and decided to help them with the mansion and education.
"Sorry Tessa." Both Bobby and Alex said as they turned away from each other. As soon as she walked away Alex turned to Bobby and smirked.
"This isn't over." Alex warned him as he left.
Downtown New York
"You lied to me! You said we were going to the mall and this is about thirty minutes from it." Jubilation Lee growled as she sat back in her seat and glared at Remy LeBeau.
"Fine, I take y' to de mall after. I just need y'r help with somethin'." Gambit tried to explain, but she gave him a dirty look.
"I want to go to the mall now, or at least drive. I don't know why they won't let me drive. I have my license and I am a very good driver and it was not my fault that a tree magically lifted itself onto the street while I was driving a month ago." Jubilee complained.
"Petit, de street was about a mile away from where y' ended up. Besides, y'r leg is still not good." Remy pointed out to her as he stopped the car to the curb. Two weeks ago, the mansion had been under attack by assassins trying to kill Wolverine. During that time, Jubilee had gotten shot in the leg.
"Why are we at a jewelry store? Oh, are you going to buy me something? Aw, thank you. I am going out tonight with Jono to the movies and I want to look my best." She smirked at him and started to fluff her short black hair.
"It's for Rogue. Y' said dat here birthday was comin' up soon, no?" He looked down at the Chinese girl.
"Yep. So what kind of jewelry are you going to get her? That reminds me, Kitty stole my good earrings a month ago. I wonder if she was able to save them before the mansion blew." Jubilee mused to herself.
"Was plannin' on gettin' her a ring." He said with a smirk as they walked into the store.
"So why are we here then? This place only sells enga-" Jubilee's eyes went wide when she realized what he had planned. "Oh my god!" She screamed and hugged Remy. "You're going to ask Rogue to marry you?" She asked.
"Young lady, could you please keep it down. " The clerk from behind the counter scolded her. Jubilee stuck her tongue out at him and released Remy.
"So, when are you going to ask her? What are you going to say?" Jubilee asked, having a hard time keeping down her excitement.
"On her birthday. Wanna make sure she has de best dat dere is. And since y'r one of her best friends, thought mebbe y' could help moi?" He asked.
"Sure, no problem." Jubilee said excitedly as she started looking at the rings. "This so cool, though you two have known each other for a few months. I knew it was weddings bells the minutes you guys got together. By the way, why didn't you ask for Kitty's help?" She questioned while looking through the glass at the beautiful rings.
"Cause she tell everyone. Just want to keep it a secret." He answered.
"Aw, and you trust me more. I feel so honored." She giggled. "Unless you plan on putting me through more Danger Room sessions if I tell." Jubilee said.
"Oui, dat de plan. Now can we please get back to dis. Only supposed to be gone for a short while. Dey'll be askin' questions if it takes longer." He stated as she walked over to him and helped him find the perfect ring for Rogue.
X-Mansion-Outside
Ororo, Kurt, Warren, and Betsy sat outside on a bench and enjoyed the spring weather while waiting for Jean and Scott to return. "It is quite lovely outside." Betsy commented.
"Yes, I will miss the snow, but at least now I can place my plants outside." Ororo said. The two women went into a discussion about the weather, not noticing Warren's head turned the opposite direction with a worried face.
'It can't be.' He thought to himself once again on what happened two weeks ago. 'But then again, I never did find out who that man was who turned me into Archangel. That light was the exact same color as the one that hit Logan.' He mused to himself.
"Varren, are you alright?" Kurt whispered to the blond haired man.
"I ugh, yes, thank you." Warren nodded his head just as a yellow cab pulled up. "I believe that is them." He smiled as he got up and walked over with the group to the car.
"Jean, how was your trip?" Betsy greeted the redhead with a smile and a hug.
"It was great." Jean gave her a small smile. "If you don't mind, I want to put our things away and speak with the Professor." She told the two women.
"Not at all. We can speak later." Ororo said as Jean walked by her. "Scott, is everything alright?" The white-haired goddess asked the brown haired man wearing sunglasses.
"I don't know. I think there is something wrong." Scott answered with a worried expression on his face. "I tried talking to her, but she wouldn't tell me anything." He sighed.
"Now that you mention it, she did seem a little uneasy before the wedding. I figured it was because she was nervous about that." Betsy said.
"It's more than just nervousness." Scott told her. "She seems afraid."
"Of what?" Warren asked.
"Herself." Scott replied.
X-Mansion-Hallway of Basement
Get that bloody stuff away from me. Jono Starsmore yelled Kitty Pryde as he held his nose and backed away from the valley girl.
"Oh come on. You want to look and smell your best tonight for Jubilee, don't you?" Kitty asked as she began approaching him again with the cologne.
Yes, but I don't want ter kill her with the smell. That stuff is bloody disgusting. Jono stated as he hit the wall. Ask Piotr, he'll tell ya.
Kitty turned to her boyfriend. "This stuff doesn't smell bad, does it?" She asked him.
"Run, comrade, while you still can." Piotr Rasputin whispered to Jono, who took off. "Kitty, I am sorry, but I have to agree with Jono." He answered.
"Fine, I was just trying to help." She sighed in defeat, placing the cologne down.
"I'm sure he appreciates it." Piotr said to her as he wrapped an arm around her waist and brought her close.
"Aw, you're such a big teddy bear. This is why I love you." Kitty giggle, turning around and kissed him.
War Room
Joseph sighed as he sat by himself in the large room. He had arrived with the other new students, and so far his time at the mansion had been boring. "Hey Joe. How are ya?" He heard a familiar southern female voice say as she took a seat next to him.
"Hey Rogue." He greeted her with a smile. "I'm okay, but I would much rather hear about how you are." He told her.
"Ah'm doin' fine. So ya like it here?" She asked the long white-haired young man.
"I guess." He shrugged. "It's kind of lonely here. The only person who will talk to me is you." He told her.
"Didja try ta talk to the others? They are usually very friendly. Ah know Pietro and X-23 were kinda rude the day ya came, but once they get ta know ya it will get better." She assured him.
"Thanks, but I've tried. I talked to Wanda today and she told me to get lost. She said I was asking too many questions about her life and that I reminded her of her father." Joseph sighed.
"Have ya tried ta talk ta anyone else?" She asked him. Rogue studied the young man and tried to figure out how Wanda thought he looked like Magneto. She didn't see it. All she saw was a young mutant that had no one to turn to and trust. She wanted to help him and be there for him. Especially, since no one else seemed to be getting along with him.
"I tried to speak with Pietro again, and he threatened to turn my hair orange." Joseph answered.
"Like Ah said, don't worry. They'll come around. In the meantime, Ah'll be ya friend." She smiled at him.
"Thanks, but I don't think I deserve to be in your presence. A girl so beautiful only belongs with the angels." He told her, causing her cheeks to turn light pink.
"Aw, thanks. Ah'm gonna go get somethin' ta eat. Ya want anythin'?" She asked him.
"No, I'm fine." He replied.
"I just thought of someone. Mah boyfriend Remy would get along good with ya." Rogue told him. Joseph raised an eyebrow.
"You'll have to introduce us sometime." He said, trying to sound like he wanted to meet Remy. 'Well, there are some things that can be taken care of easily.' He thought to himself as Rogue left the room.
Cerebro
"Hello Jean." The Professor greeted her as she walked into Cerebro. He carefully took the helmet off his head and placed it back down. "How was your honeymoon?" He asked her.
"It was good. We enjoyed our alone time together." Jean responded while walking over to her mentor. "You remember when I told you about that voice in my head?" She asked him.
"Yes, the one that told you to kill. Am I correct?" He asked, folding his hands together in his lap and waited for her response.
"Yeah. I heard it again while we were out. When it first spoke, it wasn't loud. Now it's almost shouting and it hurts every time. I even found myself, while Scott went out, strangling a man just because he looked at me. I was able to fight it off and didn't kill him. But, it's scaring me. I don't know if I can stop it any longer." Jean told him.
"I've tried looking into files about what could have happened. I believe it is caused from when you disappeared." Xavier said to her.
Jean sighed. "What am I going to do?" She asked him. "I don't want this thing to hurt anyone, especially Scott."
"Is this voice talking now?" He asked her.
"No, it's been quiet since we got on the plane. It speaks every now and then." She answered.
"I see. I would like to have a look inside your head. Maybe I can find out why the voice is there and what it wants. Unfortunately, I have some work to do. I apologize that I can not look now." Xavier said.
"It's alright. I can hold it off some more." Jean assured him with a weak smile. "By the way, how has everyone been?" She asked him.
"They either seem to believe Logan is alive or are trying to hide their sadness." Xavier replied. "Betsy and myself have searched while you were away. We've been looking on the Astral Plane, but so far no luck." He sighed in disappointment.
"I'm sure we will find him." Jean told him as they walked out of Cerebro.
Egypt-Apocalypse's Pyramid
Mesmero paced back and forth outside Apocalypse's chambers. There was doubt in his mind that they would be able to free Apocalypse. "Will you knock it off? You're annoying me." Stryfe snapped at him.
"I am starting to have doubts that we will succeed. What if they grow suspicious? One missing is not hard to do, but to capture four they will know something is wrong." Mesmero told him as he continued to pace.
"Not if they don't know who it is they are against. These X-Men won't know what is coming for them and the rest of the world until it is too late. All Apocalypse needs is three more horsemen and he will be set free." Stryfe smirked. "I think it's time someone go capture the one he will use for Plague, but who should go get her?" He tapped his finger against the side of his silver metal mask.
"Me wanna go!" A large creature came running over with three long tongues hanging out of it's large mouth and it's four arms flapping up and down madly.
Mesmero sighed. "Fine, Sugarman. We'll send you to the mansion as soon as Dark Beast sends his reports. And remember," He said in a sharp tone, trying to make sure the creature understood what he said as he handed it a glowing blue ball of light. "Make sure it hits her and not someone else. Apocalypse's power is very strong and it absorbs itself right into the person it hits. It can not be redone." Mesmero explained.
"I got it. Don't need no lecture from you." Sugarman snarled as it cradled the light in it's hands while it began walking out of the room.
"Good riddance to that thing." Stryfe growled as he turned to Mesmero. "As for you." He said as he lifted Mesmero up by the collar of his robes. "If you have any more doubt on Apocalypse's plans, perhaps you would like to discuss it with him."
"No, no I don't." Mesmero said quickly. Stryfe dropped Mesmero to the ground and turned.
"You'll get what you were promised once he is freed." Stryfe stated as he walked out of the room. Mesmero sighed as he leaned against the wall.
"Leave them alone!" He heard a snarl and chains rattle from the corner of the room.
"I don't think you are in any position to threaten me or anyone, Mr. McCoy." Mesmero told the blue mutant who was trying to break the chains that held him prisoner. "No need to worry though, a few of your little friends will be joining us. If you would like I could show you where we are keeping Wolverine." Mesmero smirked.
End of Chapter 1
Note: Stryfe, Mesmero, and Sugarman are all characters from the comics. I did not create them. Also, Apocalypse is being held prisoner in the one chamber. He needs his four horsemen: Death, Plague, War, and Famine to release him. Just wanted to clear these things up
