A Touch of Grace
A/N: Instead of doing all the stuff I normally do…I'm gonna do a little…sneak peek type of thing for this. Bear with me on this.
It's been a year…
Xavier's funeral with Ororo standing in front of the seated students. Logan watching from a window.
"Save me…" Jean whispers, looking into Logan's eyes.
"I love you." Logan says, just before stabbing her.
It's all been peaceful…
"Everything's running smoothly." Ororo says, looking over different papers.
"Yeah except…were there always this many kids here?" Logan asks, almost getting run over by a bunch of students. Ororo and Logan smile. Rogue and Bobby walk through the halls, Bobby holding Rogue's bare hand and Rogue having the biggest smile on her face.
At least for them…
A storm brews and a young girl looks out a small window.
"Somebody's in trouble…"
Thunder rumbles and lightening flashes.
The girl's eyes snap around to the dark figure standing into the doorway.
"If you were told by someone you thought loved you that you can't do what you know that you can do…would you listen to them?" A female voice says. The girl, now sitting outside, waves her hand over a spot on the ground and flowers spring up through the soil.
When the X-men meet someone new…
"Where did she come from?" Ororo asks, looking down at the young girl lying on the med lab table.
"Better question is, who is she?" Logan's voice over as he watches the girl as she sits outside surrounded by flowers.
"She's terrified of you, Logan. Can't you see that?" Rogue shouts, gesturing backwards at the girl standing a few feet away with Bobby next to her, looking between all of them.
"You don't strike me as the kind of girl who'll leap into a fight." Logan's voice over as the girl is suddenly caught up in the middle of what could be described as a bar room brawl.
"I'm getting over it." The girl says, staring at someone out of sight.
And found out that she is about to endanger them all…
The institute visibly shakes as students run around screaming. Branches shoot in through windows and grab at different men who were chasing the students before yanking them back out through the window.
"What's happening?" Rogue's voice over as people fight.
"A war?" The girl questions, raising an eyebrow.
"I thought we were through with those." Logan's voice over as Rogue huddles in a corner, staring at her hands which are forming ice. Bobby is seen unconscious a few feet away.
Old enemies return…
"If we expect to make it through this stage alive…" Magneto's voice over as Logan howls in pain with his claws rolling back towards his hands.
"Then we all must learn to trust each other." Magneto says, facing the X-men. Logan's arm tightens around the girl who is scratched up.
A red beam of light (similar to Cyclops' eye beam) shoots across the floor towards people.
New enemies threaten lives…
Logan stabs one of the men chasing the students and stares unbelievably as the man heals himself.
Ororo spins around and stares with wide eyes at the person behind her.
"I'm sorry." The girl cries. Logan reaches out and wipes the tears off her face.
What happens when your worst enemy…
Another Ororo shoots lightning at the real one, sending the real one flying through a window.
Two Logan's fighting each other on a rooftop.
Is you?
"Can you stop it?" Rogue asks, looking questioningly at someone.
"Let's hope." The girl says, reaching down.
Another chapter in the X-men series.
"You can't stop it!" Bobby yells, throwing his hands in the air.
"How much you wanna bet on this?" John asks, smirking at someone as rain falls down on him.
"Get away from me!" Rogue says, pushing past Bobby and John.
"One last fight, for old times sakes?" Logan asks, smiling at a man whose back is turned.
"I can give it a shot." The girl's voice over as Ororo and Logan stand in front of her. Her eyes are down cast at a book on her lap.
"If they're after her, then they're after us." A familiar sounding man's voice over as Logan kneels behind the girl with his hands on her shoulders. Her hands are held out in front of her, her wrists stuck together, and glowing red rings encircle her wrists.
One person can change the fate of mutant kind as we know it.
Rogue and the girl stare at each other then start laughing.
"You can't stop me." The girl says, trying and failing to push Logan out of her way.
"She's gone!" Logan's voice over as he runs down dark hallways, banging open doors.
"You can't pick and choose, Logan." Rogue says. "That's not how these things work."
"Well maybe that's how they should work." Logan says. He sits next to the girl, slowly, and runs his fingers over the scars around her wrists.
"For my whole life people have been telling me what I can and can't do." The girl's voice over as she, first, appearing younger, sits cowering in the shadow of a man. "Telling me who I am and what I'm not." Appearing as she is now, hiding in a shadowy alley. "Telling me that I'm not worth it." Now appearing tall, confident, as she strides towards something. "And now, after everything you've said to me, you're telling me the same." She looks up at Logan. "So sing me a new tone, Logan." She falls unconscious in an empty hallway.
"Grace!" Logan shouts, banging on a wall and staring through it.
X-men 4: A Touch of Grace.
Logan's claws shoot out as he yells in anger.
Coming soon to Fanfiction.
So it's kinda weird but I tried.
