X-Sync -- Chapter 1-4 by JT Poole
// Somewhere in Orlando, FL //
"I don't like the way he's looking. He looks kinda strange." Justin stated speaking with Jean Grey.
"I agree. I think that last struggle took it all out of him." Jean stated.
"Well do something to help him." Justin stated pacing back and forth as the X-Men's jet landed.
"Get him inside and see what the problem is." Jean stated as Wolverine picked up JT and carried him aboard the jet as Justin followed them.
"Where did Joey, JC and Briana go?" Justin asked.
"We are right here?" Joey stated as he turned around in a chair holding a sleeping Briana.
"I am so glad that you guys are okay." Justin stated walking over to Joey and hugging him, then hugging JC.
"We are okay Curly, just a little bit shocked and surprised." JC stated. "You really rocked out there."
"Not that much, I did what I could do." Justin stated.
"Ughhhhh!" JT moaned.
"What's going on? Is he okay?" Justin asked walking back to where JT was.
"I don't know. He seems to be comatose, but his brain activity is too rapid for that." Jean stated.
"Comatose! He's in a coma?" Justin asked.
"I don't know. I can't seem to figure out what's going on." Jean stated as Psylocke walked over to them.
"Jean do you need my help?" Psylocke asked.
"Maybe I do Betsy. Do you think you can manage your psychic knife long enough for us to see what's going on in his head?" Jean asked.
"Let's see." Psylocke stated, projecting her psychic knife and staving JT in the forehead with it.
"Jean what is she doing?" Justin yelled.
"Everything's okay Justin. We are juts probing JT's mind to see what's wrong with him." Jean stated as JT moaned again, but this time he projected a burst of energy from his body pushing Jean and Psylocke backwards, leaving only Justin standing beside him.
"Look at that. It looks like a bird made of psychic energy." Jean stated, "It looks like the Phoenix Effect."
As soon as the energy had appeared around JT's body, it disappeared, causing Justin to worry more. Noticing this strange effect, Jean left the room.
"JT can you hear me?" Justin asked holding JT's hand.
"Yes I can hear you, why ask me something strange like that?" JT asked as he got up off the table. "How did I get in here, why am I in here?"
"Well we thought you were hurt. After that fight with the robots, you fell to the ground and you didn't move. I thought you were dead." Justin stated hugging JT around the waist.
"Have you noticed that Justin has been hanging around that JT guy ever since we have been on this jet? He hasn't left his side since that big burly guy brought him on board." Joey stated.
"He's in love Joey. I guess that JT guy has something that he likes." JC stated.
"How do you know that he's in love?" Joey asked.
"I can just tell. You can see it in the way he keeps looking at him, you can also see it in the way he's holding his hand." JC stated.
"I guess, I just don't see it. I never expected Justin to fall in love with
a guy. I am still thinking of him as a straight guy." Joey stated. "I guess he wanted to find someone like him to fall in love with."
"Daddee?" Briana stated looking around the area they were in as she awakened to the light being generated by JT and Justin's touch.
"It's okay baby, go back to sleep." Joey stated kissing her on the forehead.
"Where is that light coming from?" Cyclops asked walking back to the cargo area.
"It's coming from them two." Wolverine stated walking back to the front of the jet.
"You guys are not safe here. Is there a place we can take you to get you out of harms way?" Jean asked, walking over to Joey and JC.
"Well why can't we go back to my house?" Joey asked.
"Your house isn't safe. The Sentinels have been there already. They might return looking for Justin or JT since your house was the last place their signatures were tracked to." Jean stated.
"So you are saying that if we go back, those robots might come back looking for Justin?" Joey asked.
"Yes it's a possibility and you might be in real danger since no one is there to keep your protected from them." Jean stated.
"Well Damn. I think we are better off in New York at mom and dad's." Joey stated.
"That's a good idea Joe. How about you Josh?" Justin asked.
"I don't know. I may go back home to my place here in Orlando." JC stated.
"You better hop a plane quick. You are no longer in Orlando." JT said walking into the area.
"What do you mean by that?" JC asked.
"We are currently in New York. In a couple of seconds we will be approaching the X=Men's headquarters." JT stated as he faded away.
"Where did he go?" Justin asked, as he sat down and started crying.
"Look at the look on Justin's face. That boy is in love." JC stated as he and Joey looked at Justin's face after JT left.
"I guess he is." Joey stated.
// Somewhere in New Jersey //
"Real funny. They thought they were going to get me back in the mansion without me knowing. I caught on to that trick and I won't be toyed with." JT stated as he reappeared outside of the jet.
"Oh my god! That man is up there he's falling out of the sky!" A woman screamed seeing JT's body in midair.
Before anyone else could react, another women streaked through the air and grabbed JT and carrying him to the ground. To his surprise, it was a person he hadn't seen in a long time, someone that he thought he would never see again.
"Carol, Carol is that you?" JT asked staring at the woman.
"Do I know you young man?" The woman asked.
"Yes you do. It's me JT." JT stated as the woman started looking at him strangely.
"I don't believe I have ever seen you before." The woman stated.
"Yes you have. I was there when Professor X separated you from Rogue. I was Incognito then, now I am just me." JT stated as the woman turned around and looked at him.
"You can't be Incognito, he died a long time ago. I was at your memorial service that the X-Men held in your memory." The woman stated.
"I am not dead Carol. I am alive as can be." JT stated.
"Yeah right. I know how to solve this problem." The woman stated as she grabbed JT by the shirt and flew away with him.
"What the hell are you doing?" JT asked.
"We are going to see Professor X. He can get some answers out of you." The woman stated.
"Put me down Carol or you will regret it." JT stated as his hands started glowing and he grabbed Carol's hand.
"Arrgggggghhhh!!!!!!!" Carol screamed. "What are you doing to me you freak?"
"I am zapping your powers so you can't use them! That's what I am doing. I said let me go and I mean that!" JT screamed as Nightcrawler and Jean appeared before them.
"Grab the both of them and get them back to the mansion." Jean stated as Nightcrawler grabbed JT and Carol and teleported away.
"Stage one complete." Jean stated as she flew back towards the mansion herself.
`Good. Now we can concentrate on getting JT back to our side.' Professor X thought.
`He still hates us Professor. He thinks that we abandoned him years ago.' Jean spoke telepathically.
`Well hopefully all of you can convince him otherwise.' Professor X stated, ending contact with Jean.
// X-Men Mansion //
"Why did you bring me back here Kurt?" JT asked.
"I brought you back because this is where you belong." Nightcrawler spoke.
"No! I belong back in Orlando where I live." JT stated.
`JT please calm down. I know I wasn't here when all of this happened, but the X-Men honestly believed you were dead all those years.' Professor X stated.
"Get out of my head old man!" JT shouted as Justin, JC, and Joey, holding Briana walked into the room.
"JT you came back." Justin stated, running over and hugging JT.
"Psst. I told you he was in love with him." JC stated, whispering to Joey.
"Well that JT guy is cute. I guess that's why Justin likes him." Joey said out loud.
"What! How do I like?" Justin asked walking over to JC and Joey.
"You know who you like." JC stated.
"I don't like anyone." Justin stated blushing.
"Why are you blushing Curly?" JC asked. "If you didn't like him, I don't think you would be blushing like that."
"Okay I do like him, but don't say anything about it. I don't want to scare him away." Justin stated.
"I don't think you would scared him away. Tell him." JC stated.
"Tell him what?" Justin asked.
"Tell JT that you like him, you know you do." JC stated.
"I do, but I can't tell him that. He would probably hate me if I told him something like that." Justin stated.
"I doubt he will." Jean stated as she walked into the room.
"Did you hear that?" Justin asked Jean as she came over and placed her hands on his shoulders.
"It's not my place to tell you, but when JT was part of the group he was gay. I don't know if he's still gay or not, but I always say if you want to find out something ask questions. That's the fastest way to learn what you want to know." Jean stated as she looked at JC and Joey. "The bathroom is right down the hall Joey."
"Thank you." Joey said as he and Briana walked down the hall towards the bathroom.
"I didn't hear him ask where the bathroom was." JC stated.
"I am a telepath JC. When I saw him looking around the way he was I picked his brain. I normally don't do that, but he had a confused look on his face." Jean stated.
"Well you will be doing that a lot with Joey, he always has a confused
look." JC stated laughing.
"I heard that JC." Joey stated from the bathroom.
-- 1 hour later
"So guys can you confirm that he's Incognito?" Carol asked.
"He's the one in the same." Cyclops stated.
"I though he died a couple of years back. How could he be alive, you guys had a memorial service for him." Carol stated.
"Well we all thought he was dead. He explained to us what happened to him that day, but we still don't know why he didn't rejoin us." Bobby stated.
"I think he has some trust issues with us. From the images I got from his mind, he feels that we abandoned him and left him to die at the hands of the Sentinels." Professor X stated.
"I figured that. How can we regain his trust professor?" Cyclops asked.
"I don't know Scott. All we can do is hope that he comes around." Professor X stated, as there was a loud explosion outside of the room.
"Please don't tell me that Cain Marko has returned." Carol stated rushing out of the room.
"No, it's the new kid. Something's wrong." Jean stated.
"The new kid? Who?" Carol asked.
"Justin. He was with JT when we arrived in Orlando to investigate some strange readings. He was one of the mutants that Cerebro was detecting." Jean stated. "Guys something's going down and it's very badly. Justin's very upset. His fear and anger is cutting through my psionic shields like a hot knife through butter."
// In the Foyer //
"Damn! I don't know how they got here. Stop them before they destroy this place." Nightcrawler stated.
"Great! I thought this place was safe from their detection!?" JT asked.
"No it isn't. Where did you get an idea like that?" Nightcrawler asked.
"Well you guys brought us back here like this was a safe place." JT stated as he blasted one of the robots.
"Well since we are all here, we have a better chance of stopping them." Nightcrawler stated as he teleported away.
"Great he chickened out." JT stated, still blasting the robots with energy. "I need help here. I can't hold these things off by myself!"
"We are here JT." Storm stated sending hurricane winds at the robots.
"HALT MUTANT!" the Sentinel stated, projecting metallic coils at Justin.
"No way man, I am not stopping for you to get me!" Justin stated as he blasted the robot with one of his explosions, which knocked the robot in one direction and sent Justin in the other.
"No Justin!!!" JT screamed, as he flew down to Justin, grabbed him and disappeared.
"Where did they go?" Joey asked.
"Right here buddy." Justin stated as he and JT appeared behind Joey.
"You stay here out of the line of fire. Let us handle this." JT stated as he faded away again.
As JT, Jean, Carol, Cyclops, Storm and Nightcrawler were fighting the Sentinels that had barged their way into the mansion, a strange man appeared and walked into the mansion.
"Hello Mr. Timberlake, I see you went to the big boys for help." The man stated.
"Not you again. Get away from me." Justin stated sending one of his explosions in the direction of ESP.
"Not this time kiddo." ESP stated. "Get him and all the others."
At that moment, a group of people appeared in front of Justin and the others. Shocked at the intrusion, Professor X signaled the others that there were intruders in the mansion, which brought Ice Man, Beast, Wolverine and Psylocke to his defense.
"Who the hell are you?" Ice Man asked floating by on his ice slide.
"He's ESP! He's the guy that was in Orlando trying to get me." Justin stated as a woman walked over to him and slapped a collar around his knock, causing Justin to fall to the ground and faint.
"What did you do to him?" Joey asked.
"Nothing. He just can't use his powers. He fainted on his own." ESP stated.
"JT! Justin needs help." JC shouted as a guy jumped in the way and pushed JC to the ground, knocking him out.
"What's going on down there?" JT asked as one of the Sentinels grabbed him and started squeezing him. "Let me go you giant soda can!"
"HALT MUTANT!" the Sentinel spoke. "YOUR KIND WILL BE DETAINED AND TAKEN BACK TO HEADQUARTERS FOR PROCESSING!"
"I don't think so buster!" JT stated, struggling to get free. `Someone help me please. I don't want to die again. I can't get this Sentinel off of me!'
As JT continued to struggle with the Sentinel, he noticed that Justin was knocked out on the floor being surrounded by the guy that he had fought off earlier. As he struggled harder to get away, the Sentinel transformed into jet-mode and flew away.
"Someone help JT, the Sentinel has him and he can't get free." Jean stated as Carol flew in the direction that the Sentinel was flying in.
"JT I am coming! Don't give up on us." Carol stated as she flew as fast as she could trying to catch up with the robot.
`Ms. Marvel please hurry I don't think I can last any longer.' JT spoke telepathically.
"You are JT. I am so sorry I doubted you." Carol stated as she reached the robot and tried to pry it's hand open to free JT.
"It's no use Carol. It has inhibited my powers and I can't get free. Get away before he get you too." JT stated.
"I don't think so, I will get you free even if it kills me." Carol stated.
"No Carol, just go." JT stated. "Your super-strength can't save me."
"No but this can." Carol stated as she started blasting energy at the robot 's hand.
"How are you able to..." JT trailed off.
"Remember when I was Binary with the StarJammers, I still have those powers too." Carol stated.
"Oh." JT stated as the robot's hand flew off. `Thanks, now I can do this."
"Where did he go?" Carol stated as the robot fell to the ground.
`Carol just let him go. Come on back to the mansion. Your help is needed here.' Professor X spoke.
"On my way Professor." Carol stated as she flew back to the mansion.
// At the Mansion //
"Just don't hurt me please. I am not a mutant. I am a ordinary human being." Joey stated holding Briana.
"Yeah right! If you were an ordinary human you wouldn't be here in this place. These freaks wouldn't let you in." ESP stated.
"Unlike yourselves we are not prejudice like that." Storm stated as she sat in front of ESP with a collar around her neck too along with the other X-Men that the Sentinels and ESP's team were able to capture.
"Oh shut up girlie. Once we get all of you to headquarters for processing, it won't even matter anymore." ESP stated.
"Is that so? No one takes the X-Men prisoner." JT stated as he landed in front of ESP. "Do you really think I am going to let you and this circus of yours leave here?"
"You have no choice. If you don't get out of my way I will kill you and them too." ESP stated.
"Let's start again. Do you really think I am going to let you out of here with them?" JT asked.
"That's it! Guys kill him!" ESP shouted as his team moved in on JT.
"Just what I was hoping you would do." JT stated as one of the guys touched him. "Ah you have the psionic power to knock someone out. Is that all you can do?"
"How did you know?" The guy asked.
"Ah yes, you have sonic powers." JT stated as a woman touched him next. "Let's see what I can do with those powers of yours."
"Don't anyone else touch him." ESP stated. "He's able to see your powers or something."
"Nope you got it all wrong." JT stated as he used the woman's sonic powers and blasted ESP and his team outside of the mansion. "Anyone hurt?"
"We are okay. Well Justin fainted and that guy knocked JC out, other than that we are okay." Storm stated.
"Well first..." JT stated as he, JC and Justin disappeared.
"Where did he go? Did he take my friends with him this time?" Joey asked.
"I guess so." Jean stated.
"Wait everyone. JT's in the infirmary with the two men." Professor X stated.
-- 2 Hours later...
"So I guess you all didn't abandon me." JT stated. "Sorry for the way I have been acting."
"It's okay squirt. I knew you would have come around sooner or later." Wolverine stated as they sat at the table.
"Don't call me squirt Logan." JT stated. "I hated that then and I hate it now."
"Well sorry, that's the only nickname I have for you." Wolverine stated.
"Well that means you have to call me by my name then don't you." JT stated as he glared at Wolverine.
"Well what is your name now? Are you still going to go by Incognito?" Wolverine asked.
"No. Call me Psion." JT stated as everyone around the table looked at him, then noticed his costume as he stood up so everyone could see the changes he was making.
"How are you doing that JT?" Jean asked.
"Just a touch of my magic." JT stated.
"Magic?" Professor X asked.
"Yes my magic. I wasn't born a mutant you know." JT stated.
"You weren't?" Professor X asked again.
"Nope. When I was a kid, I asked my grandmother to use her magic to give me super powers and viola, I have them." JT stated.
"Well if you are not a mutant, then how can Cerebro detect you?" Jean asked.
"Well a couple of years before I joined the X-Men the first time, I used my powers to fight a demon called ShadowMaster. ShadowMaster was a half-breed demon that fed on human souls. He did this by touching people. He touched me and well let's just say that when he did, instead of him stealing my soul, his died and his powers were transferred to me." JT explained.
"So you are a demon then." Storm asked.
"No I am still a human, but after ShadowMaster touched me, my body was altered. When I touch people I don't steal their souls, but I copy or steal their powers." JT stated, getting stares and glances from everyone in the room. "Yes I am like Rogue in a way, I just don't knock people unconscious the way she does."
"Well that explains a lot. So tell me is it true, did you have the powers of the Phoenix in the past?" Psylocke asked.
"Well I didn't have the power the way Jean did. The Phoenix Entity didn't choose me as a host, but after I accidentally touched Jean when she was Phoenix, I kind copied her mutant matrix which allowed me to use and control the power as she did." JT explained.
"It wasn't an accident and you know it." Jean stated.
"Yes it was. I am not going to argue with you about this again. Besides, you should be happy that I touched you, that saved you from becoming Dark Phoenix again." JT stated.
"Yeah right. I didn't get corrupted, you did." Jean stated as Cyclops stepped in between the two.
"Look! I did what I did to try to save you guys. I am not going to argue about this again." JT stated as Nightcrawler `ported into the room.
"Justin and JC are awake. JT...Justin is asking for you." Nightcrawler spoke.
"Good timing." JT stated as he faded away.
"Who's power is he using when he teleports that way?" Cyclops asked.
"I don't know. I wonder how many powers he's copied today since he's been around?" Psylocke asked.
"Who knows, but he's touched some of us and the guys that came with the Sentinels. I am just glad he teleported them away." Shadowcat stated.
"What are we going to do about the new guy? Are we going to ask him to join the X-Men?" Jean asked.
"I don't know Jean. First of all we need to handle things with JT. From all that I have witnessed today, I am sure that Justin wouldn't stay around here unless JT was here. Justin doesn't trust us anymore than JT does." Professor X stated.
"I figured that." Jean stated. "I think there is something more there. I think Justin is in love with JT."
// X-Men's Infirmary //
"So it seems that you have rejoined the land of the living." JT stated as he appeared besides Justin's bed.
"There you are. I thought you had left again." Justin stated.
"No I am still here." JT stated. "The others have been trying to convince me to stay around again."
"Are you going to stay here?" Justin asked.
"Well at the moment I might as well since the Sentinels destroyed my house." JT stated as tears came to his eyes.
"What's wrong JT?" Justin asked, "Why ate you crying?"
"My house, my beautiful house. I worked so hard to get that house. Now it' s gone." JT stated.
"You can get another house." Justin stated.
"No I can't. That house was mine, my very first house. That place held many good memories." JT stated still crying.
"Well you can come stay with me in my house." Justin stated.
"Why would you offer me a place to stay? You hardly know me." JT stated.
"Because he likes you." JC stated.
"JC!" Justin screamed.
"Well it's true. JT he likes you. Are you gay?" JC asked.
"That's none of your business if I am gay or not." JT stated.
"Well I don't want to know. Justin does." JC stated. "I could care less if you were gay or not, but my friend here seems to have some kind of crush on you and well I want to see him happy."
"See him happy? Knowing if I am gay or not isn't going to make him happy, he has too much sadness and anger in his heart for me to make him happy." JT stated.
"How would you know something like that?" JC asked.
"Hello, JC's he's psychic!" Justin screamed. "Would you please shut up and stop trying to hook me up."
"I was only trying to help Curly." JC stated.
"JT, I don't know if you are gay or not, but I must say that I have some sort of feelings for you. I don't know what those feelings are yet, but I can honestly say that I do like you." Justin explained.
"How sweet, another confused guy. What is my life coming to?" JT stated as he faded away.
"Look what you did!" Justin screamed. "You made him go away. I hate you Josh. I finally found someone like me that I can love and you run him off!"
Unbeknown to Justin, JT heard everything he just said and felt the things in his heart. JT was shocked for the first time in years. He didn't really know what to think, he was happy and sad at the same time. Finally someone had showed some kind of affection for him and he didn't know how to accept it. Crying, JT continued to fade away as he decided to go somewhere and clear his thoughts.
