And I do read all the other stories, and they're great, keep up the good work. They inspire me! Chapter 4: It was Deja Vu from the Get go... I stayed in my room, avoiding class and all the normal things...even the Danger Rooms. To me, they were yet another reminder that I wasn't normal. In fact, I wasn't weird, I was so far beyond that. I was staring at the mirror when I heard the knock on my door. I opened it to see Bobby. Bobby: I thought you might be hungry and we were worried. Me, taking the sandwhich and chips: We? Bobby walked into the room: Me and the group. They're worried and ya know...nevermind. I stopped and looked at him: What? Tell me. Bobby: Maybe when I get back I can talk to the Professor about letting us leave the mansion. I just stared for a minute, then I looked down. Bobby saw the look on my face: A mission, it's big! only two X-Men'll be here... Pane: Let me guess...Wolverine and Cyclops. Bobby grew silent: Yeah. Pane, shocked: Wait, what? You're kidding. Bobby: How'd you know? Pane: My lucky day. The silence was too much for Bobby: Anyways, I had this dream about on the X-Jet. Nothing serious, but...maybe I'll tell you another time. Get rest. I was a little stunned because after the last word, he turned and ran out of the room. But I was glad to see him. He made me feel not so alone and different, but he was leaving. Story of my life. Before he left, Bobby came to see me. Of course he said nothing about the mission, but he did hug me before he left. I went to the kitchen, where Scott was eating at the counter with no shirt. Scott, putting the sandwhich down: Hi, how've you been. Pane, searching the refrigerator: 5x5, you? Scott: Look, some of the kids are going out...and I really can't stop thinking about you. Maybe we can go on a date...maybe just as friends. Pane, looking at Scott: A date...as friends. Is that possible? Scott: Please, it'll give me a chance to make things up to you. Pane: I'll give it a thought. Scott: 7:00 is when we leave, if you want to go. I walked away, not saying a word. I figured I'd work out, which wasn't in my vocabulary, but I was really pissed and needed to get my agression out. Once I got there, I found Logan working out and he ignored me all together, which pissed me off. Pane, walking up to Logan: You've got balls of steel! When my parents went here, did they ever tell you that you were an asshole! You have no reason to be mad, at all! Logan turned to me: You attacked me, so before you get- Pane, shouting: You lied to me, I thought we were friends and you couldn't muster an ounce of truth for me?! Logan, walking away: We were...are, but you've got to chill. And yes, I do have balls of steel. After the confrontation, I worked out harder than ever before. By the end of the work out the only thing I could think was...OW! I was so tired I went straight to my room and passed out. I woke up and looked at my phone on the desk and it was 7:30! I rushed to put on my clothes and rushed to put on my clothes and rushed to find Scott. I know what you're saying, I thought you were mad. I am, but in their own little way, they tried to help. He wasn't downstairs or the subbasments, so I decided that he must be working again, so I went to the hangar. I walked in on Logan and Scott talking and I was about to interrupt when I heard my name. Scott: Yeah, he thinks I'm lying to him about everything and I don't know how to reach him. He's becoming a little paranoid and he never leaves his room. Unhinged even, but my feelings are still the same. I tmight just be his immaturity, but... Logan, working the wrench: Yeah, saw him earlier. He's immature and fragile. Good kid, but not good for battle. I noticed that he'd began to smell the air and I looked down at myself and noticed that in a few minutes he would smell me. Logan: Small Fry! He pointed in my vicinity and I stood there staring at them, fighting the feeling that I might just lose control. I felt like I just wanted to scream and I really needed someone on my side. Pane: I sorta came looking for you, I fell asleep and I was trying to find you, but...I guess that was immature of me, huh. I turned and walked to the elevator and Scott ran after me. Scott: I'm sorry, I stood you up. Pane: That makes it better?! OK, I'm going through something right now. I've never been through something worse, so if i decide that I want to spend days by myself, I'm not immature, I'm sane. He noticed that I was about to cry and embraced me, but I pushed him into the wall and the elvator stopped. Before I could get up the stairs I had a strange feeling of deja vu, but when! i remember seeing this when...I was in the Med Bay! The Vision was coming true! I stopped dead in my tracks and suddenly the boor bursted open and sent me sailing across the room into the hall mirror! Scott ran over to me, and it was then that I noticed the dink in the helmut. The same dink from my vision. There was also the guy who looked like a bullet and the green guy from my concert back home...Toad. Magneto: Well, well, well...Pane, it has been a while, hasn't it... He was so familiar, but I couldn't place him. Pane, pointing at them: Do I know you? Or you? I remember you. Scott: Magneto, why're you here? Where had I heard that freakin' name! It was pissing me off, then I realized I'd heard my mom say it. Scott, whispering: Try to reach Logan. Pane: I can't, he's too far. Scott: I know you can do it. I thought hard, then found him. I briefly left my body and stood next to him. Pane, urgently: We need to go now! ...Owww! I fell to my knees and Logan caught me. Loga: What's up, Small Fry? Pane, between breaths: Magneto...Scott...upstairs. After I had delievered the message, I was back in my body, but they had disappeared! Pane: Where'd they go? Logan tackled me before I could get clobbered by a large mirror that came at me so fast I didn't see it! Pane: Thanks Magneto, holding a limp Scott: Hello, Wolverine, we meet again. I ran after him, but the Earth rumbled and shook and threw me out of the window, Scott shouted, taking the fight to Magneto, and Logan fought Toad. I coughed as I hit the ground, looking up, I saw the guy that looked like a bullet. He was cute, but there was dirt all over his face. Pulling myself away from him, I searched the mansion for Toad and when I found him, I entered his mind to get memory on this guy. Avalanche: The key to Apocalypse. Hot Key! So you datin anyone, or do you want to try a real man? Pane: Tell you soon as I find one. Avalanche: Your a good guy, where'd you get that mouth? Pane: Who said I was a good guy? I jumped up and kicked him between his legs, but my foot was hurt by the metal. Avalanche: Bigger than you thought, huh? Pane: Yeah, guess I'll have to try something else. Pane's eyes glowed golden and winds began to burst and soon lightning struck Avalanche, running through the metal and into his body. Toad was laid out, but so was Scott and Logan, so I ran to them and Scott was unconcious. I surveyed Scott first: Are you okay? Scott: It...it's a trap! He pointed behind me where Magneto stood with a blue chick. Magneto: Get him! This was my defining moment, she kicked and I blocked, and punched. She jump kicked, but I met her by doing a levitating kick, then I went to town! Right, left, right, then I kicked her in the chest, knocking her out. Before she could get up, I did a spinning back flip and kicked her in the face! Mystique: Pretty good! Pane: Are you going to get an ass-whooping...or...wait, that's pretty much the only option...Mystique. I'd heard my mother talking about her, and him...When my mom did speak of them, there was fear in her voice. A lightning strike called everyone's attention to the elevator, where the X-Men stood. Professor X: Leave! Magneto: You can not protect him forever. Pane: He won't. As long as I'm here...I can protect myself Magneto turned to me, then smiled: I'll be seeing you. Professor X: Magnus! I looked away and when I looked around they were gone. It was then that the wind blew and I got a preminition from it. * I was fighting someone...big, blue, his face seemed so old that itw as cracked; you know, the normal big bad.* As soon as it started, it was over! I guess I shared this with everyone because they all looked at me with happy, yet worried, faces. That night I went ot the Med Bay with Scott, hell I even slept there. I watched him a while before I finally went to sleep. i thought about how he'd protected me, or else there would more damage to my body...I'd be gone, or dead. Scott, groggily: You know... I sat up Scott: You didn't have to stay, saving me was enough. Pane, hugging him: My savior. Scott: If it wasn't for me, you would have been past the... Pane: Yes, it's your fault- His face headed down to his feet. Pane: ...that I'm not dead. I don't think it would have mattered; I'm just glad that you were there. Do you like me? Scott: No. I looked at him shocked. Scott: I think I love you. I smiled and walked to the door: Just one thing. Scott: Shoot. Pane: Why didn't you just tell me? Professor behind me, making me wheel around: Because I asked him not to.
