Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2006 13:25:03 -0700 (PDT) From: Jason Decade Subject: X-Men Legacy 13 X-Men Legacy Legend: Thoughts = <> Stray thoughts = () Ok, guys, All the disclaimers apply, that means all thanks goes to Marvel for the X-Men, I'm just making the story. And I do read all the other stories, and they're great, keep up the good work. They inspire me! Season 2 Chapter 13: A tangled web it weaves *Flashbacks* Mom: Pane: Scott: Pane: Pane: Bobby: Pane: <5x5> Pane: Scott: Pane: Jace: Pane: Scott: Johnny Storm: < Reed, Sue, Ben! Get over here! I think he's still alive!> Johnny Storm: < Dude, you're on fire!> Elektra: < You were brave. I hope you can hear this thought...I have something for you! I want to thank you...the Hand, wants to thank you.> *Flashbacks* I awoke suddenly, feeling different. I had been in someone's mind for just a second and yet...I knew more about this person and I had never met her. I found a note on my chest with my name on it. I read it and all it said was, " You're Welcome." signed Elektra and the Hand. I was confused, but wait something was happening! Something bad. I looked around the room, and noticed that it was a nice room, but I could hear something... Magneto's voice met my ears from miles away and he was angry: Hurry with that! If our plan doesn't succeed, you pay. Bringing him back is mandatory! I teleported the instance he finished the last sentence and watched from a distance as the x-Men ambushed the Brotherhood! Lance: Come on, Summers, you should wanna bring him back! I floated down between the two teams: Who? Me? They all stared at me shocked. I was shocked as well, as my memory was coming back and I thought I had smashed myself back at the temple. I remembered the room, and...the voices. Then Scott's voice broke me out of the trance. Scott stammered: You're...you're... I noticed I was just as I left...in all white. My hair, my clothes, my eyes...all white, but that changed. I thought back to the temple and how I'd been dead, I don't know how long, but I had been dead. Flames began to flash all around me, but they too, were white. I was shocked: How long? (I read his mind without thinking) A year? (I read his mind again) Professor X is in a coma? There was a boom and it was the Fantastic Four! Johnny smirked: Hi. How long have you been awake? I like the flames...new look? I felt the immediate anger of someone. Scott was noticably pissed: You kept him from us?! He...you let us think he was... Johnny and Scott were now face to face and ready to pounce on one another. But I couldn't take it! So much information to take in and so little time to...and they were arguing! Making it harder for me to seperate my thoughts from theirs! I shouted: STOP! This is way too much! I can't take it...why didn't you tell them? I noticed the Brotherhood had gone, lucky them. Scott pulled me: He's going with me, so don't even think about stopping us! The rest of the X-Men were in total shock! Johnny walked at Scott, but Sue stopped him. Sue: We're sorry, but he was non-responsive and we didn't want to...We need to go, come on, Johnny! Johnny stared at her in disbelief: Sue! But... Sue: NOW! Johnny walked over to me and hugged me, then handed me a device: If you need me...I'll be here. You have my number. As he passed with Sue, he gave Scott the evil eye, and in an instant they were gone. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No one said a word, but Scott was being compulsive. Scott: Are you okay? I mean...I bet you're hungry...you should be hungry after... I stared at him: Dying? Once I said that, everyone stared at me...even Logan seemed to be shocked. I stood: wait, something isn't right! Professor is dying. They all looked at me for a minute, then the flames appeared again and I took control of the jet telekinetically and we sped home ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When we finally arrived at the Institute, I burst through the doors, down the elevator, past Marie, Remy, and Alex, who looked as if they'd seen a ghost, then to the Med Bay. When I got there he was dead. Everyone fled to the Med Bay and were shocked at my sudden appearance. I walked past all them, up to Professor's body and put my hands over his body, but before I could do anything, I heard Logan. Logan ran in: What're you doing, bub? I did something I had seen in Elektra's mind, Kirugwei: I learned some things from your friend, Elektra while I was comatosed. I read her mind. AWAKE! I pulled my hand up and his body came with it! It worked! There was a lot of gasps , then silence. Professor smiled and noticed me: What happened? White flames surrounded me: We went on vacation. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After dying, then coming back to life...then bringing someone else back, I was tired. Scott offered to let me sleep in his room and I agreed. The letter said: Pane, I had to get up earlier than you should, but come down. Sorry I wasn't there when you woke up. Ps. Professor wants to talk to you. Love, Scott The letter burst into flames in my hand and I flung it into the trashcan, then noticed all my things in the corner. I guess Professor was back to normal. I put on my jeans, a t-shirt, and black sneakers. I headed down to the kitchen and stopped at a mirror. I looked into the mirror and it was not me looking back, it was someone else. It was me, but I was dressed in a white skin-tight suit, with flames emanating from me. The Mirror me smiled: Why are we still here? These people know nothing about our powers and we could rule the world. I tilted my head: Not nice for the guest to speak without being spoken to. I thought about the mirror intensely and it cracked, but when it shattered, the pieces didn't fall out, they fell in! I remembered that I forgot my phone and without even thinking it popped into my hand. I looked at it for a minute, then smiled and continued to breakfast. When I got there I was overwhelmed with happiness, joy, and shock. Jace wast he first tor run up and attempt to hug me, but fought the hug. Jace stared at me for a minute I stared at him, then the rest of the group joined us. Jubilee: OMG! I missed you so much! I smiled: It is futile to miss someone. They never come back. Amara: But you're back. I smirked: Did I? Ray: What's your deal? Jaime: Yeah, are you okay? I chuckled: 5x5. I turned and walked away. Sira took a sip of her soda and whispered: I didn't know that after you come back to life, you act like an ass. I stopped and blew up the soda: Well, you do. The door flew open and I walked out, not bothering to look back. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I found myself outside by the pool watching my reflection and just for a snap second, I forgot who I was...I felt as if I was someone else. Killing people, that's what I remembered, but I knew that this must be remnants of Elektra's mind. Soon enough I looked down and saw the other me, he was smiling at me and I smiled back. Professor walked up with Scott: Hello. I guess I should welcome you back, although, I haven't been here either. I looked up with a blank face. Professor X continued: I owe you my grattitude for saving my life, or bringing me back, as it was. I shifted: No need to apologize, there are worst things than death. Professor eyed me: I felt the signature of Mesmero. I must track the Brotherhood, maybe they can help. I sense he was not with them, and if he is killing, then we should find him right away. I nodded and he stared at me. He tried to see my mind, but I blocked him quickly. After a few minutes, he turned and wheeled away. I didn't look at Scott: shouldn't you be teaching? Scott's nervousness hit me right away: Umm, no, I have a personal day. So Professor found a room, but if you want to stay, you can. Me: Where are Bobby, Kurt, Piotr, and Kitty? Scott frowned at my lack of eye contact: Bobby is gone to take care of his brother...his parents are sick. Kitty, Kurt, and Piotr are on a mission, but...do you remember what we talked about... I felt my emotion build: It's hard enough just being here. Scott looked at me immediately: What? Tell me about it. My face was as emotionless as ever: I miss the white light...the room, the peace... Scott attempted to understand me and I could feel it: I don't... I stared at the water, then drops began to float up: Scott...Do I scare you? Scott sat beside me: Right now? Yeah. But... I sneered: A real answer. No buts! I want the truth. Scott sighed: No, the decisions you make scare me. I made the pool chairs and tables float in the air with the water: I'm right, you have no idea what I can do. He studied me carefully, then tried to move closer. I raised a shield and he was thrown back. I got up: I bet that room offer is null and void, huh? He stared as I walked past him, but turned back to the pool when the water and all the chairs and tables fell! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I waited until I saw Scott got back to the room before I even attempted to move. I stared at the mirror, but when Scott came in, I made it disappear. Scott didn't say anything, he just went into the bathroom, then came and layed on the bed next to me. I felt his...emotion, his desire and soon it became mine. I moved closer to him: Why won't you "touch" me? Scott was caught off guard: I didn't know...you want me to "touch" you? I slid my hand over his chest and telekinetically removed his belt. Scott stopped: I don't want to hurt you again... I shoved my tongue down his throat and we made out passionatel and that led to... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I woke up that morning feeling like I had just been crushed by a house, then noticed Scott. I quickly got up and grabbed my clothes and heading out the door. Once outside the door, I felt my anger build up and a nearby vase blew up! A woman wearing a white tube top-thingy and white pants with long blonde hair, stepped over the rubble and stared at me. The Lady: Some night, huh? I stared angrily: Who...in the hell...are you? Let me guess, corner lady? Frosty cheeks? NO...am I getting close. She sighed: My name is... I paused: Emma...Emma Frost. Emma: You must be Pane, I must say it's a pleasure to meet a man who isn't drooling over me. I smirked: Cocky, aren't you. Emma: Why shouldn't I be? I walked closer: Could be the tacky white catsuit. Emma chuckled: A twit with wit. I smiled: I have heard of you. How could I not? You're the most hated bitch in the whole school. You did some bad things, incredible as they may be. Emma frowned: Bitch? So you're mother and father are... The table began to shake: Doesn't matter at the moment. Emma: Powerful. The table stopped: Aren't you? Emma turned and walked away: A lady never brags. I smiled She stopped, then smiled and kept on walking. I liked her, which wasn't a very common thing in the mansion. To like the slutty, immoral skank, that was unheard of, but she's different....and I like it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Later that day, Scott proposed that we go into the city. He thought it would be good for me to go into the city and I was less than excited. We walked and shopped until i was too tired to go on, so we decided that we should get some coffee from a little cafe somewhere in the middle of Manhatten. As we walked in, I bumped into this guy, cute in a geeky way, and he spilled coffee all over himself. They guy: Hey! I stared at him: What in the hell! Could you perhaps watch where you walk. For a minute he just stared, then a car flew by! I looked out the door and headed outside: Yay, finally some fun. I ran behind Scott to see three of the robots from the Danger Room, but it was bigger! I flew up, getting ready to lay the smackdown on one when the other one knocked me down, but someone caught me! I opened my eyes to see red and blue: Spider-Man! I smiled: Nice catch. Spiderman (Just what I was thinking.) I smirked < I can tell what you're thinking> He smiled at me, then dodged another signal! I jumped out of his arms, but I noticed something familiar...the smell of coffee! Cyclops was still fighting one of the sentinels, then he decapitated it, and Spidey was working the other, so I felt the flames cover me again and I telekinetically ripped the sentinels apart! Cyclops: I get it now, the Phoenix! Is this the Phoenix or Pane? I ignored his question Have you ever met Spiderman? I think I know what he looks like...his alter ego, not the costume...cause we all know...nevermind, the guy from the coffee shop. Spider-Man dropped beside us: How'd you know? Was it that weird telepathy? I stared at him: No, I smelled the coffee. Cyclops frowned: You were that close? He smiled at me, then stared at Scott and swung away. Scott looked at me. I pointed at him: Don't start. Scott: About the Phoenix... I stopped in my tracks: You want to know the truth? Scott stopped: Yah! I put my head down: When the Phoenix force encountered Jean Grey, it was looking for me. It is me, the other half. I've been... Scott raised his eyebrows: Been what? The Phoenix I realized she was right: Nothing...I just, I'm feeling like I don't belong here. Scott hugged me and I looked into the store window and my reflection winked at me.
