Rogue screams beholding the sight of Tigersbane standing there holding JT, Justin, JC, and Chad's bodies in her arms. "I am not sensing any life signs from them." Jean says, walking over to where Beyonce stood. "Of Course not, they are dead." Beyonce declares, letting the bodies fall as she returned to her normal size. "I didn't get to them in time." "Oh God oh God!" Jean screams out as an image of Professor Xavier appears next to her. `Something's not right here. This isn't our JT, Justin, JC and Chad.' Professor X says telepathically. `Their psychic signatures are not the same.' "What do you mean Professor?" Jean questions him, extending her powers touching each body that lay at Tigersbane feet. "I am not sensing any differences Professor." `These guys are not from this reality Jean. I don't know where Tigersbane went to, but those guys didn't originate here in our reality.' Professor X telepathically says, this time, his psychic image merging with Jean. "That's not right Professor, this has to be them, I followed the trail that creep left, I followed him, I know I did." Beyonce cries out, exerting her power, causing her grow back to her giant form. "Calm down Beyonce." Chris says, stepping closer to her. "We need you to stay calm so you can get us back to where you went." "Tigersbane I need you to be calm so that me and the professor can guide you." Jean says. "Can you be calm?" "Yes I can be calm!" Beyonce shouts punching the wall closest to her. "That isn't being calm girl." Joey says as he and Bobby steps back a little ways. "Well maybe we can use Kurt, we are use to his mind." Jean says. "No, not me." Nightcrawler says, stepping back away from Jean. "Why not Kurt?" Jean asks. "I just don't want to...I'm scared to go back to that place." Kurt replies and then teleports away. "Great, I guess we have no choice. Come on Tigersbane I need you to calm down. I am not going to hurt you, we are just trying to get the other guys back." Professor Xavier speaks though Jean. "Just leave my mind alone." Beyonce says, reverting back to her normal size again. // The Other World // "Stay back!" JT screams, creating a sphere of energy around his hand. `Justin must be nearby since I am able to morph his powers.' `JT baby please stop. Let me and Josh help you.' Justin mindspeaks to JT as he and Josh's psychic essences merged with JT's body. `What are you two up to?' JT says within his mind. `We are going to help you stop Hellion, the best way we can.' JC mindspeaks, causing JT's eyes to glow. `Cool man.' `Stop that, I am the only one that controls my body and powers.' JT says within his mind, telepathically shocking JC's essence. `Cut that out man.' JC mindspeaks. `Don't you forget who's in control here." JT says within his mind as he returns his concentration back to the battle outside of his mind. "Something distracted you, what are those fools up to?" Chad says, turning up the heat with the energy beams he was projecting at JT's body. "I think you should be worrying about what I am up to and no one else!" JT shouts, creating a ball of energy and hurling it at Chad. "This should put you in your place until I can think about what to do to you." `JT what are you going to do?' Justin says within JT's mind. `I don't know. I can't sense much around here.' JT says within his mind, getting an idea. `JT what did you just do?' JC asks, as his and Justin's essence was pushed out of JT's body. `What is he doing?' Justin asks telepathically. `I don't know and I don't like it.' JC mindspeaks, floating in the direction of his body. `Are you safely in your body again?' "Yeah." Justin says aloud, flying up into the air to locate JT. "Oh baby don't do this to me. Where are you?" "Calm down Justin. I am sure he knows what he's doing." Nick says, floating up to Justin with JC following him. "What do we do now?" Justin asks, just as the sky got bright and there before their eyes with the image of the mighty cosmic avatar, the Phoenix. "Now we worry." JC answered him as there was a flash of light behind them and Tigersbane, Rogue, Wildcat, Iceman, Blaze and Jean Grey appeared. "Don't worry, we are here to put things right." Jean replies, flying towards what was creating the image of fire. "Jean stop!" Rogue calls out, dropping what she had in her arms and flying behind Jean. "What did she drop?" JC asks. "You guys." Beyonce answers him. "What?" JC, Nick and Justin say in unison. "When I came here the first time, I grabbed this world's version of you guys and returned to our own world to find out that they were not you." Beyonce responds, grabbing JC, Nick and JC and flying in the direction that Jean and Rogue went in as Bobby created his ice slide and went ahead with Joey flying along side him at a safe distance. // A Few Meters Away // "Why are you doing this?" Jean asks, tussling with Chad. "Didn't your precious mentor tell you who I was, I am not Chad, Chad is just a puny shell to me." Chad says, just as JT appears, body and all. "I see someone has obtained cohesion of their body and soul." "You will pay for what you have done Hellion, You got away once, but not this time! You will pay!" JT shouts, creating a field of energy around his body and flying towards Chad. "Asla Maya Dama Zoon!" "What! How can this be?!? You are no longer magical! You are not supposed to do this to me!" Chad screams out as his body starts to glow brightly. "What's going on? What is happening to the kid?" JC asks as Beyonce puts him, Nick and Justin down. "JT performed a psychic and magical exorcism on Chad." Beyonce answers him, again shrinking to her rightful size. "An exorcism? Okay this is getting a little bit scary again." Justin replies, wrapping his arms around JC. "So is JT back to normal now? Is his body okay?" Justin asks, scared to move away from JC. "I don't know. We have to wait until he tells us Justin." JC says, trying to pry Justin arms off of him. "Justin are you trying to kill me? Loosen up, I can barely breathe." "Sorry man, I...I'm just a little bit nervous." Justin says to him, removing himself from JC. "What about Chad? Is he still a threat now? Is Lou still in his mind?" Chris asks, changing back to his human form. "As of this moment, the spirit of Lou has been exorcized from Chad's body, he's his somewhat normal self again." JT answers, landing in front of the guys as all of them step back, as though they were scared of him. "What happened to Lou's spirit? Is it in you?" Justin asks him, stepping back again. "Why don't you come over here and find out." JT responds, reaching out his hand to Justin. "Come on, I won't bite you." "I...I don't know...I don't know what to do. Josh?" Justin says, looking at JC. `Josh is that JT or is Lou in there?' "I can tell you that answer myself." JT replies, eavesdropping on Justin and JC's telepathic conversation. "Well I can say one thing, he's nosey like JT is." JC says. "Stay out of my head, you didn't have permission." "Yeah whateva." JT says reaching his hand out to Justin again and this time Justin accepting it. "About time." "Baby it's you." Justin says as the two of them start to kiss, causing their bodies to glow very brightly, setting off fireworks all around. "Damn that was some kiss." JC says as Justin and JT stop. "Yes it was." Justin says, leaning in to kiss JT again. "Will you two cut it out, we need to find out how to get back home." Nick states, turning away from them. "Well sorry, Beyonce will you do the honors?" JT asks as he and Justin walks over to her. "I will need your and Jean's help to guide me." Beyonce says as everyone gathers around her. "Well I'm ready. I will provide the power source and Jean, you provide the guidance system." JT says, projecting energy all around them. "Let's blow this popstand." () // The Real World -- The Xavier Institute // `Look out, Incoming!' JT says telepathically to the students that are currently in the Danger Room as he and the others appear in the center of the room. "Wow look at that." Illyana Rasputan says as the smoke clears and the members of X-Sync can be seen. "They are alive, they are all alive." Lance says, running over and hugging Justin, then JC and then Chris, stopping when he saw the body of Chad in Jean's arms. "Everyone didn't make it Scoop." Chris says as Lance turns around and falls into his arms. "It's alright now. The danger has passed." "It's all my fault Chris, it's all my fault, I should never have gotten mad, I should have stayed here like I was told. If I hadn't gone to that bar, I would have never met Chad and he wouldn't be dead right now." Lance explains, crying on Chris' shoulder as everyone surrounds them and hugs Lance. "Lance it's not your fault. Everything that happened that night was all orchestrated by Hellion, not you. It's not your fault." JT says to him. "But..." Lance starts, but is cut off by JT. "But nothing., it's not your fault. You are not responsible for what happened to Chad, Hellion and Hellion alone is." JT says, walking out of the room. "What's wrong with him?" Cyclops asks, walking into the room as JT walks out. "Nothing Scott." Jean says, walking out of the room behind JT. // Outside in the Quad // "JT stop." Jean says, floating up behind JT. "What is it Jean?" JT asks. "Why are you upset?" Jean asks. "I was dead in that world Jean, I was dead and Nick and Justin were together instead of me and Justin." JT says, sitting down on the nearest bench. "It was an alternate reality JT." Jean says. "No it wasn't, it was a future time. We didn't travel to another reality, we were in a different time." JT says to her, crying softly. "JT?" Jeans says, but he cuts her off. "No Jean, don't say anything else. Let me finish." JT says, tears falling faster now. "I know that was a future time, because I have been in that time before. Remember Xenix and Nightstryke? Well they were from that time." "What? How do you know that?" Jean asks. "Because when me and Justin appeared in that time, I morphed the powers of Xenix first, then Nightstryke, and then I was able to morph Phoenix's power, as in Rachel, your daughter's power." JT explains to her. "What?" Jean says again. "That's right Jean, Rachel Summers, her time." JT says as Justin approaches the two, but stops, looking at the two from a safe distance. "But Rachel is..." Jean starts, but stops when she got up and walks off. "Jean? Jean? Don't leave this..." JT says, tears running down his face. "No JT, I won't deal with that again." Jean says, floating upward into the sky. "Baby are you okay?" Justin asks. "I don't know, I really don't know." JT answers him. "When are you going to tell me what happened a few months ago with..." Justin says as JT covers his lips with a kiss. "Justin, I died." JT says, as the colors drain from Justin's face. "You died!?!" Justin screams out. "Calm down Justin." JT says, trying to calm Justin down. "Calm down? I am not going to calm down! You just told me that you died. How can you be dead if you are standing here with me!" Justin shouts, pushing JT away from him. "If you died, how are you standing here now?" "That's a long story baby." JT says, trying to keep from crying again. "Well I'm your boyfriend, I have a fucking lifetime, I'm waiting." Justin says, grabbing JT by the hand and floating them upward. "You can't leave me until I know what's going on. If you can't tell me then, I guess our relationship ends right here, understand?" "I guess so." JT answers him, holding his head down. TO BE CONTINUED...
