X-Men Legacy
Chapter 14: The Devil mad of Metal
A week later, I had began to make myself be normal again. I was interacting with the Phoenix Force now, but in a good way. I was neither commanding , nor obeying it...I was listening. I was talking to it one day until Warren entered the room and I, once again, made the mirror disappear.
Warren stopped: Hey, sorry, didn't know you were in here.
I lowered my head: So if you would have known I was here, you wouldn't have come in?
Warren chuckled: That didn't come out how I wanted it.
I smirked: It's okay. But I do have question How did you...you know, come back from Apocalypse again?
He winced at the word Apocalypse: He's gone. When he's gone, his hold is gone. Are you okay?!
Vision
We were sent back to the day I died. It was how I remembered it, but I noticed Mesmero. He was chanting and his eyes glowed in the dark corner.
Apocalypse: If we don't succeed, make them dream of me!
8Vision*
Then we were hurtled back into the now. I noticed that this time, Warren had gone with me! The Phoenix Force was powerful, but I never though I'd be able to take someone with me! I looked around and noticed that we were back in the Med Bay.
Ororo ran up to us: THANK THE GODS!
Scott put his arm around me: What happened? We found you two outside on the ground!
I pushed Scott away: a vision, but Warren went with me, Apocalypse imbued Mesmero with a lot of power, enough to do something nightmarish, but you know that already, huh?
They all looked to each other and back at me.
Logan: Well, short stuff, you died last time and this time, we're going to protect you. No one wants to see you die again.
I laughed: Apparently someone does.
Professor X: Do you feel up to a mission?
I nodded: I guess. Will it hurt?
Professor X: I doubt it, It's to get Bobby...I'm sending you, Jean, and Kurt.
I shook my head: Bummer, at least I'll get to see Bob again, right Chuck.
Scott stared at me: I don't think that's good idea. There is something we have to tell you....Pane is...
I interrupted: ...going on this trip! I'll be ready in 15 minutes.
Professor glanced again: Are you sure you're alright?
I smiled: 5x5, Chuck.
Scott didn't want me to leave ( It being Bobby we were going to get), but I convinced him that he had nothing to worry about by...well, anyways, we sat off in the sports car. Jean had been to his house before, didn't bother to ask why, so she was there in half the time. I guess it didn't hurt that she was a speed demon. We pulled up to the quaint suburban home, which creeped me out.
I stepped out of the car: Wow, Stepford has an address. His parents much be rich.
Kurt and Jean laughed. We walked up to the front door and knocked.
I touched the door: His brother's at school. His father's at work...his mother is sick, but getting well...and he's...
We turned to see him just standing there. His lip was at the floor, as well as the groceries he was backing, and he stared at me as if he'd seen a ghost.
Bobby ran up and hugged me: You...you're...
I backed away: You know it would take more than death to stop me.
Bobby noticed my resistance, but ushered us in anyways. We sat on the couch and he sat in a chair adjacent to the couch, staring at me in disbelief, He started to say something but stopped.
I smiled warmly: go ahead, ask me anything.
Bobby smiled back: I just can't believe you're...you're actually here, right?!
Jean and Kurt chuckled.
I felt his desire for knowledge: I died. For a minute, but then I came back and the Fantastic Four kept me alive without telling you.
Bobby's face turned from excitement to anger: Johnny Storm?!
Jean, Kurt, and I jumped.
Jean sighed: How's your mother?
Bobby nodded: Better, so much that I was about to call Professor.
Kurt: We'd better be getting back. Call us when you're ready.
All of us stood to leave, and hugged Bobby. Kurt and Jean left us to talk for a minute and we hugged again.
Bobby: I'm freaking happy to see you again!
I looked down: If you have more questions, they'll be there when you get back
Bobby smiled: I missed you, but I'm not letting you go again...so until then, see ya later.
I smiled and walked out the door, to the car, Bobby stuck watching.
The Phoenix < You feel it too, then why not act on it?>
Pane < Because that's the only thing keeping me human.>
In the jet, I thought about me and Bobby...what would happen when he got back?
Jean < You've been different since you got back.
Pane < Being dead.>
Jean < it's not that...I was dead too...are you controlling the Phoenix alright?>
Pane <5x5>
Before Jean could say anything else, Kurt shouted, " Sentinels!". We dodged sentinel after sentinel, then I finally got irritated.
I rose from my seat: I can handle them!
Jean and Kurt looked back at me in shock.
I walked to the door: Look, I took down a whole temple and Apocalypse...good roboty fun never hurt anyone.
Jean: no! You can't...
Before she could finish , I flew out! When I got outside, I heard Kurt and Jean yelling after me. I telepathically tuned Jean out and telekinetically stopped teleportation. I took out sentinel after sentinel, and there was no more in the air. I was in front of the jet, watching Jean and Kurt, when I saw them flailing and turned around and "BAM!"
I immediately felt anger, but it was not mine.
A faceless voice: hello kid.
When I woke up and my eyes darted, not to the many guys, but their guns. There was one man. I know him.
Trask: Hi, my name is Bolivar Trask. Are you the one who brought down my sentinels? You puny, 16 year-old kid.
I smiled up at him: Lick my a...
Before I could finish, he wa;led pver and bent my kneck, then I felt a sting!
I chuckled: Mind control...doesn't work on me, my powers are...special, so why would you kidnap me? You're trying to make me your Deathstrike?
He punched me and I spit out the blood and lightning struck ouside!
My eyes glowed red: You coward; You can't hurt me! I'm...who's that?
I saw Mesmero, and he moved closer to me.
Mesmero's eyes glowed too: Hello son.
I realized he wasn't Mesmero...he was Apocalypse~
I struggled < Jean, help!>
