Chapter 15: Light-mare
After hours of darkness, I let go of my fear and pain and anger and...control. I felt my
powers come forth, fiery flames of light illuminated the room. Darkness wasn't an issue
anymore. I felt the change happen and I walked into a room that was darker than the one
before. I felt people in the next room...familiar people...I ran across the room, not
bothering to check if anyone was in it, and before I got there I was knocked on my ass!
Apocalypse: Son! Bad move to just run in the dark.
He slammed me telekinetically into the wall.
I grabbed my arm, trying to feel if it was broke: Ouch! What? Is old and scary a bit mad?
Or just an old ass?
He shot me with a beam, but I absorbed them and sent them back, but to no avail. Then he
built up a massive wave of energy and knocked me all across the room, then he let me fall.
He then preceded to walk to me and bent down to my ear.
He whispered: See you soon.
As I lay there bleeding in and externally, I heard footsteps.
I spoke weakly: Scott?
It wasn't Scott, it was Jace and Bobby.
I looked at them with relief: What took you so long?
I chuckled, but they stared at me, then picked me up.
I spoke up again: What's going on? Where's everyone else? Oh, yeah and did you know that
Apocalypse is running around here?!
They nodded and stared at me again, which was because of all the blood this time.
I smiled: You guys should play harder to get.
=======================================================================================
Trask: X-Men, you're a magnificent bunch of freaks, but I have your most powerful one
controlled, I put him...
He stopped at the sight of me, red eyes, hair, clothes, with blood everywhere. I glowed
with flames and I felt the power became too much and the room filled with light! When it
cleared, Trask was gone, but I took out all the guys.
I stood on my own: No wonder the Earth revolves around me, I'm like the freakin sun! I
think I wanna go...home.
I blacked out and fell to the floor.
=========================================================================================
I woke up in the most familiar place, the Med Bay. I was beginning to live in the Med Bay,
it was like I was meant to stay hurt, but I couldn't blame this on anyone but me. If I
wouldn't have been so quick to take on those sentinels myself, I'd be okay right now, but I
wouldn't know about Apocalypse, so I broke even.
I ignored the pain and the fact that I should be dead: Wow, three guys at my bed, I think
that's a new school record...only the likes of Emma could beat such a record. Where were
you guys when I was 14...no laughs? What's going on?
Scott stared at me in disbelief through his ruby glasses: You passed out. Jean and Kurt
explained what happened and you coulda...
I sighed, then rolled my eyes: Ok, dad! You want me to say sorry? Cuz I'm not...Scott, I...
Bobby interrupted me: He's right! That was so reckless. Do you understand that you
mean...it would be bad if we lost you.
I stared at them in shock, then my anger crept in, but I wasn't sure if it was my emotions,
or theirs.
I was more pissed than I had ever been: SO I guess you all feel this way, oh god, is this
an intervention?! Ahh! get out!
Jace: We...
I screamed: GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT!
They filed out, not looking at me. I thought for a minute who would understand me, and it
hit me! I though of the place real hard and soon I had left the Med Bay and I was on my way
to the Baxter Building.
===================================================================================
I teleported to the Baxter Building. The Fantastic Four, who were watching the news,
scattered.
Johnny noticing all my cuts: Oh, crap! We saw what happened to you on the news! Are you
okay?
I was silent.
Johnny: Dumb question. Sue...
Sue: I'll get some blankets and a bath.
she left and I looked after her I felt something in my mind reach for her mind, but I
immediately stopped it! I could hurt her if I did too much. my control was barely
there and the phoenix was waiting for me to slip up. Although she was right about a lot of
things, I still believed that they'd understand me.
Pane: Thank you.
Reed rushed off to the lab: I'd better inform Professor Xavier.
Without looking behind me, I could see Johnny signaling them out. I was shocked when Ben
just left without saying a word
I looked at Johnny: So, you're still trying to get into my pants, huh?
Johnny helped me to the couch: No! I promise, I just thought you might be comfortable with
just me
The Phoenix <He's telling the truth...>
I smiled
It was weird. He wasn't who he was supposed to be; A manwhore, but I wasn't sensing that in
him. All I could feel was him wanting me to be comfortable. He honestly wanted to be with
me. I spent hours there, talking to him, then I noticed other mutant signatures.
I freaked out: They're here...and angry. I'm in trouble...I'm gonna bin detention for...
But my freak out was cut short by Johnny's tongue. I enjoyed his tongue, and his hands
crept up my let, but it was stopped by my phone.
I picked up the phone: Hello?
Marty: Who is this?
I frowned: Who is this?
Marty: Marty...why do you have my friend's phone.
It was my friend Marty from back home.
I sighed: It's me Mart, what's up?
Marty sighed: Everybody saw what happened to you on the news and we're worried.
I chuckled: Don't be, I'm fine
Reed over the loudspeaker: Pane and Johnny, please come to the lab.
I hung up with Marty and turned back to Johnny, kissing him again. We both smiled, then got
up and walked to the lab. On the way, I noticed that the lights flickered and someone...or
thing was watching us...following us and I stopped. Then I heard a whisper that said, "
He's coming..." and I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned to see Johnny. He told me to
hurry and we mad our way to the lab. Once we got there, I stopped at the door and felt the
anger inside. I entered to see Scott standing there with his arms folded, staring at me.
Jace and Bobby stared me down and the Professor seemed less mad, and more relieved.
Professor: Pane, good to see that you are alright.
I shrugged: Good? Shouldn't you yell or something.
Professor: I never yell, not for something like this. You know you were wrong for coming
here.
I smirked: Actually no. Why was it so bad?
Professor: You came without permission.
I smirked again: That's not what you said. You said it was wrong to come here...you didn't
say anything about permission.
Scott: That's what he meant. It was wrong for you to leave the Mansion without saying a
word!
Ororo grabbed his shoulder: Scott, now is not the time.
I stepped forward: I think this is just the time for this. What is the problem? Me coming
here or me leaving without telling you!
Scott: A little of both! I mean, first you go and be reckless, then this! What, do you have
a death wish?
The Phoenix
Professor: Scott has informed us why Jean is no longer suffering the effects of the
Phoenix...
The Phoenix < Just kill him. Who is he to judge anything we do?! We are power!>
I put my head down < I know...it would be so easy, but I'm gonna take the hard road. That's
why they fear you. You want to kill what you don't understand, you're no more civilized as
they are. We are not given power to rule, but to help.>
Professor < Wise insight, even in the face of the Phoenix. We could separate you two.>
I smiled at him < That's thoughtful, but no you couldn't. We are the Phoenix.>
Johnny spoke up: Am I missing something?
The Fantastic Four were shocked. I didn't tell them that I had become the host of the
Phoenix because it was more than that. Professor offered to separate us with psychic
barriers, but that wouldn't work...because we've done more than merge....we've become the
same being.
Jean, warily: Time to go, Professor.
I said goodbye and thanks to Sue and Reed and hugged Johnny, as Ben had left hours ago.
I hugged Johnny extra long: Thanks. I'm sorry I didn't tell you about the Phoenix.
Johnny: It's okay, you've always been hot anyways. (whispers) Anytime you need me, I'm
here.
I turned and walked side by side with Professor Xavier. Scott tried to put his arm around
me, but I pushed him away.
I looked to Jean: Jean, can I sleep in one of the other rooms tonight?
Jean looked between me and Scott: Sure.
I smiled: Thanks.
I sat back and looked out the window, ignoring Jace and Bobby as well, and I drifted off
into a brilliant dream.
======================================================================================
When I woke up the next day, I went to Scott's room to get my clothes and stuff. When I had
put on my clothes, I noticed Scott leaning on the doorway.
Scott spoke calmly: So is this how you're going to be? When we get mad or fight, you run
away?
I was silent as I tried to pass him, but he grabbed my arm.
Scott: Look, I'm sorry for the way we ganged up on you, but I'm...I don't want to lose you
again.
I yanked my arm back and walked on. I went to get Jubilee and Amara and we headed to
breakfast. I walked past an apparently angry Scott and the rest of the X-Men, then headed
over to the group, which now included Bobby, Kitty, and Jace. Jubilee and Amara grabbed the
good seats, leaving me the seat by Jace and Bobby.
I frowned <Jubes, I hate you!>
I sat beside Jace and across from Bobby. While I sat down, I brushed up against Jace and
felt his dick and I immediately sat down, not looking at him. Also, Bobby's foot kept
"accidently" hitting mine, so I moved it and all of this while Ray was talking about
something not relevant to life.
Ray: So, we all heard about last night...and...umm, why'd you do it?
Jubilee looked at him strangely.
Pane: You make it sound like it was a bad thing, I just needed space. I felt stupid and
hurt and I needed to not feel that way.
Jubilee: Well, I know that we all don't think you're stupid....I also know that I love the
new Jessica Simpson song.
Jaime: You're kidding, right?
Jubilee: What's wrong with Jessica Simpson?
Sira: She had the perfect guy and just...trashy bimbo...smart, but trashy, hick, podunk...
I was shocked to hear Sira badmouth someone, looks like she was finally coming out of her
shell. I smiled at her sudden lack of restraint as she discussed the matter further with
them. Sam and Kitty had also joined the conversation, though some of us just stared and
laughed at funny things they said.
Bobby < Can you hear my thoughts?>
I frowned <What do you want?>
Bobby <To say I'm sorry. I just don...
I frowned even more <...To lose me? Very original.>
Jace <The way we did it was wrong, but the message was genuine.>
I scoffed < You don't get it. I don't like the message...I saved us...you and Bobby and the
X-Men and the whole frickin world! SO I think I can control my powers...
I looked down, then left the table.
==================================================================================
As I walked into the main hall, I saw something that scared me! The Brotherhood stood
facing the X-Men, but they seemed to be discussing something. Magneto, Pietro, Lance,
Mystique, Wanda, Mastermind, Blob, John, Toad, and Sabretooth were standing in the middle
of the X-Mansion! I began conjuring the biggest storm I could think of.
I panicked: What the...!
Professor X <Stop! They're here to help us!>
I stopped conjuring and followed Professor to his office, with Pietro, Wanda, and Magneto.
There they were, father, aunt, and grandfather. They all eyed me, then began talking.
Pietro seemed overwhelmed: Well, you've grown...It's been a while.
Pane: How did you look like my father...or the illusion of who I thought was him? That's
not your power.
Pietro: Smart boy.
Pane: Not a boy, and I've been studying the protocols.
Pietro: Not too closely, I hope.
Pane: Answer my question, please.
Pietro showed me his disguising device: This is how. It distorts images.
I pointed at Wanda: Yeah, Kurt has one, What about you? Why are you here?
Wanda stared for a minute, then spoke: I never met you and...
I slammed a chair telekinetically against the wall: Enough! Why are you actually here!
Magneto stood: Stop it! We are here to help, Foolish boy!
I wheeled around: Smart enough to know that you're not here to help! You're here to
help...ha! That's a first and I don't need your help.
I slammed the door telekinetically behind me and threw myself against the wall outside,
sliding to the floor, tears streaming from my eyes.
Pane < Can we kill them?>
The Phoenix < We could, but could you do it?>
Pane < No, I guess not.>
The Phoenix < That's what makes us so...>
Pane < Compatible. You know what's in my future, don't you?>
The Phoenix < Your future is right in front of you.>
I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up to see Logan and he picked me up and we headed
away from the office.
