moondragon-1001: You'll find out in this chapter.
NctrnlBst: I'm glad you liked it I wasn't sure if I made the action fights good enough.
yae yang: Michael has a part here that I was saving for last, and for your information Magneto's new base is in the Savage Land, the Savage Land is a place in Marvel comics that is basically a hidden place where dinosaurs still thrive. New girl....Blink or Domino? Anyway I was thinking of using that last power sooner but the story unfolded a little differently and I needed to place that in there, so I changed things around a little.
fire inu: Well let me tell you the major story after this one is called 'Family Affairs' but that won't be out soon, first I'm doing an Adventure/Humor (at least I hope it's funny) story called 'Reality Trip' where Forge sends some of them through other realities, and I got a short one called 'Blink's new life' which is her first few days at the manor and how she adapts. (So I don't have to do it later.)
Shadow-Spider: uh....okay o.O

CHAPTER 18: HOME, ENDINGS AND FORESHADOWING
After the complex was under their control everyone had made their way back to the surface to find the place crawling with military types.
"Why do I get the feeling that there's a real mess down there?" Came a voice, and from out of the shadows came Nick Fury.
"About time you got here." Logan said.
"You called him in?" Scott asked shocked at this.
"Yeah, but only after we got here, that way they wouldn't get in the way and they can deal with the clean up." Logan said with a grin on his face, especially the look Fury was giving him with a clenched jaw.
"Yeah, yeah, just get out of here, so I don't have to deal with you guys and I don't have to explain to my superiors on to why you're here. They all made their way to the vehicles.
Vincent noticed though that Fury was giving him a strange look. "What?" He said to him quickly turning.
"What is it?" Logan asked him.
"This guy keeps looking at me funny, and it's getting on my nerves eh?" Vincent said to Logan not taking his eyes off him.
"Go on with the others Vincent." Logan told him. He reluctantly did turn back to the others, but Logan went up to Fury. "What was that all about?"
"Do you know who or what that kid is?" Fury asked him.
Logan looked at him for a moment. "Yeah, and how the Hell do you know about it bub?"
"It was SHEILD that stormed the lab he was at in the first place, we took four of the survivors one was so messed up we had to lock him up in The Abyss." He said to Logan.
Logan just growled. "Well let me tell you something that kid's been through too much as it is, so stay away from him, I remember how you wanted X23, so don't even think about going after him."
"Don't worry I won't, from the reports we got he'd be too much trouble." And Fury left it at that and turned his attention to the people in the facility.
On the Velocity and the Blackbird everyone was getting settled in.
Amanda was already sleeping peacefully against Kurt who had an arm wrapped around her. Rogue was looking her brother, happy for him.
"They are just so cute together." Vincent who was sitting next to her, in his tattered uniform said to her.
Rogue actually smiled a little. "Yeah it's nice ta see them lahke that." Then she leaned over to him and laced her head on his shoulder.
He placed an arm around her. "You know this is the second major mission that we've been on that's had us storming a some evil base and a self- destruct was used."
She thought about that a moment. "Ah really hope that's ta last tahme."
"So do I...so do I." He said and leaned his head on hers and closed his eyes.
Domino and Shadow were enjoying their freedom and finally able to relax. They were also answering all the questions being asked of them, well Domino did most of the talking, Shadow threw in a few things here and there but mainly let her do the talking.
Blink was in the Velocity. Beast was flying it and she was sitting behind him looking out. She was free but had nowhere to go, her parents had it clear to her they didn't want her.
Then a tall and beautiful lady sat down next to her, she noticed the white hair but forgot the name.
"Are you alright child?" She asked. Blink could feel the concern in her voice. She didn't know what to say to her. "No." Was the only thing that she could barley get out.
"What's wrong?" Storm asked her.
Blink didn't know where to start she was so relieved to be out of that place but also hurting because of why she was there. Tears were starting to form in her eyes. "I-I...I don't have anywhere to go." She got out.
She started to cry and Ororo drew her close to her. Blink let out all of pain and suffering she had in her. Ororo was doing her best to comfort the girl. "Don't worry you have a place...with us if you want it."
Blink pulled away slightly and looked up at her. "Really?" Ororo nodded her head, and Blink was overjoyed. She hugged this woman who she soon learned was name Ororo. She spent the entire time him her arms, it felt good just to be held by someone that cared after so long of everything that had happened.
******
When they had returned to the hanger Amanda was being led down the ramp by Kurt who was helping her, because she was still pretty weak. She was tired but when she saw her parents were there waiting for her.
Her face lit up and they ran to her. They were so worried about her and finally they were relieved to have her back. They bombarded her with questions and she tried to answer them but they wouldn't stop.
"Mister and missus Sefton please give your daughter some space to breath." Beast said with a smile. They realized, that he was right and moved away a little, but only a little.
Hank smiled at the parents knowing they meant well. "Well now I have to give everyone a once over at the infirmary."
There were several moans and groans but he ignored them.
Logan had gone off to check on Deadpool, when they landed and was just now running back into the hanger. "That bastard got away!"
"Logan! Mind your language." Strom scolded him.
"You mean our friend Wade?" Xavier asked him.
Logan not looking too happy nodded. "I don't know how the Hell he did it, but while we were off, he must have gotten lose, I knew we should have placed someone to watch him."
Xavier sighed. "Well we can't do anything about it now, he's most likely long gone. At least now we don't have to worry about what to do with him."
Logan snorted and decided maybe it was for the best. Deadpool was too annoying to keep around anyways.
It took several hours and Hank had made Rahne, Jubilee, Shadow, Domino and Blink stay in the infirmary since they were in most need of attention. Jamie had fallen asleep and Vincent offered to carry him to his room.
Amanda had talked to her parents the entire time, and was glade to be in her room. Hank told her they would talk more about her new ability later tomorrow. Kurt had seen her to bead, but when she got on her bead she couldn't sleep.
Every time she closed her eyes she thought she was back in that cell. She put a light on and didn't turn it off. Even though she was safe in the mansion, she was still afraid. After midnight had come and gone she couldn't take it.
She needed to talk to someone, and she knew who.
She walked out of her room and made her way to Kurt's. She silently opened his door and walked in closing it behind her. She carefully walked over to his bead, and looked down at him.
In the dark his fur made him blend in so well with the darkness she couldn't see him except for his form under the covers and his shirt.
She thought twice about waking him up, and was starting back to his door when she stopped when she heard her name, then a light was turned on next to Kurt's bead and she turned around to see him rubbing his eyes.
"Vhat is wrong?" he asked holding back a yawn.
"I'm sorry Kurt, I couldn't sleep and I needed to talk to someone, I'm sorry I should go."
"Nein, don't. Please come here and tell me vhat's wrong." He said to her. She walked over to his bead and sat down on the edge and he sat up next to her.
She didn't know where to start. "I couldn't get to sleep...I'm...I'm just so afraid that this is all a dream and when I close my eyes I'll wake up back there."
Kurt could see tears forming and wrapped her up in his arms. Her emotions that she had held back, all the pain, and fear she had she let go. Kurt just comforted her as best he could.
When she had finished Kurt wiped away the remaining tears. She smiled slightly when he did. "Thanks Kurt."
"Feeling better?"
Amanda gave a small smile. "I always feel better when I'm with you." She hugged him and could feel the fur on her skin, his arms wrapped around her and even his tail wrapped around one of her legs.
She felt so safe and comfortable in those arms. "Kurt.....could I...stay here for tonight...I don't want to be alone." She said the last part in a whisper.
A part of Kurt was jumping for joy, while another was terrified that if Logan or her parents found them in the morning they would get the wrong idea, and he would have to run for his life.
But she needed him and that overrode any fear. "Alright." He said his voice full of caring and concern for her. He had an idea of what she went through but didn't know it had affected her that much.
He moved back as she slipped under the covers with him. She rested her head on his shoulder and placed an arm over his chest. She felt so warm and comfortable here like this.
She once dreamed of this and was glad that it came true, she just wished it was under better circumstances. She felt him cuddle up closer to her. "Thank you Kurt, goodnight."
"Night Leibe." She said softly and she could feel him plant a kiss on her forehead.
Despite everything that had happened, she had slept peacefully and soundly that night in his arms.
****
After a couple of days things were both sad and happy. Domino and Shadow had decided to go back home, but Blink was staying with them.
"Do you guys have to go?" Jamie said to the two of them. They were all gathered in the hanger saying goodbye to the two mutants. They were ready to board the jet and to go their separate ways.
Domino smiled at the little man and ruffled his hair. "Sorry but there are people in Chicago that are worried about me, besides I had some business there I needed to take care of."
"And what about you Shadow?" Jubilee said to the ninja.
He smiled at her. "I need to return to the village and let them know of what happened to me. But I will speak to the elders about your offer to stay here, that Xavier-sama offered me."
Then he looked to Vincent and bowed. Vincent smiled and returned it, the two of them had a few sparing matches which were a sight to see. They had not only had a friendly rivalry going but a mutual respect between two warriors.
He was entering the jet when he stopped and turned. "By the way the name is Kai, Kai Fujitaka." He smiled at them, and continued on to enter the craft.
"NOW he tells us his real name?" Domino said, not to anyone in particular. "Hey get back here, I got something to say to ya ninja boy." And then she stormed off after him.
"It's going to be a long flight." Logan grumbled to himself as he got on.

THE ABYSS - Maximum Security Prison (Location & Existence classified)
There was heavy fighting going on in the prison. A couple of guards were making a retreat.
"Get back up down here we need-AHHH!" One of them said before they were all sent flying back.
Walking down the corridors were Magneto and his newly formed Acolytes. Magneto floated above the ground moving slowly towards their first goal. Behind him were Sabertooth, Sinister, Pyro, Gambit, Colossus, and the newer members.
Omega Red, Legion, and now the newly recreated Morbius. He looked the same but now wore all black, with a long black leather coat and cut off gloves that showed his long black nails of his fingers. He also had a pair of shades on. They looked a little like the pair Scott wore only they were black and not red.
Even though Sinister had helped him control his hunger, and was no longer hindered by daylight, his eyes were still sensitive to bright light and needed them when in daylight.
They reached a vaulted door, which Magneto easily ripped off. As they entered they found floating in a tank of suspension fluid was Juggernaut. They had come to free him and to hopefully persuade him to join.
"Sinister we can handle this, I want you to get the other one." Magneto said to him.
Sinister smiled and moved off, with Legion and Omega Red. They made their way to a special cell. Omega Red easily tore the door off.
Inside in a straight jacket was a red haired young boy of about seventeen. "So nice to see you again Prodigy 10." Sinister said.
The young man looked up at him. "It's you, we knew you would come and get us."
Sinister looked at the lad, he knew the boy had multiple personalities and this was why he needed Legion. He had gone thorough what he needed to him to do to this boy. To merge the personalities of his mind into something more to their liking.
"Mr. Lucas if you will." Sinister said to him grinning.
Lucas moved forward and entered his mind. Several tense minutes pasted, the young man thrashed and screamed, while Lucas grinned the entire time. After a while he stopped.
"Well?" Sinister asked.
"Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh." Came the voice of the boy. He slowly stood up his long hair in the way of his face. "Well this is interesting....I'm finally one again."
He looked at Sinister, the boy's eyes were crazed but there was no violence in them. "So glad to see you again, are we going to have some fun?"
"Oh yes, we are. First you are going to need a name." Sinister said to him.
"HALT!" They turned around to see a guard pointing a weapon at him, then he was raised into the air, grabbing his neck and making choking sounds. Then his head bent and there was a sickening snap sound.
Sinister looked at Lucas. "Don't look at me I didn't do that."
"No, I did." Said Prodigy 10.
"Well psychic powers....we should call you...Psi-co." Sinister said to him.
He thought it over a little. Then a disturbing smile came over his face. "I like it."

THE INSTITUTE
Amanda was walking around, she had just found out her parents had found a new home, and everyone was going to help them move in. She found Blink in the living room alone sitting on the couch.
"Hey." She said. Blink jumped at her, she was still nervous around everyone. "Are you alright Clarice?"
"Yeah, I guess." She said quietly. Even now she was still getting used to everyone and still shy around everyone. "They're trying to get a room ready for me." She said sadly.
Amada could tell there was something wrong. "Isn't that good?"
"Well yes it is....but...I just feel so....alone here." She sadly said to Amanda not looking at her. "I don't really know anybody here."
Amanda sat down next to her. "Well you know me...why don't you share my room with me, it's not a problem it's really big anyways, and you won't feel so alone."
"Really? I can? I don't want you to give up your room or anything." Blink said.
Amanda smiled at her. "It's no big deal, besides I feel so alone at times myself in that room, it would be nice to have a roommate."
Blink smiled.
****
A little later Jubilee was in the rec room with some of the others, she was looking a little down.
"Hey Jubes." Bobby said coming up from behind her.
"Oh hey Bobby." She said not noticing he had something behind his back.
"I know you've been down, so I got you something." He showed her a yellow coat almost exactly like her old one. "I know you lost your favorite coat when those jerks took you so I got you a new one. I hope you like it-"
Before he finished she snatched the coat and held it to her chest. "Oh Bobby thank you, thank you, I love it." She squealed happily and hugged him and planted a few kisses, leaving Bobby blushing a deep red.
****
Rahne was sitting outside enjoying the sun.
"Hey." She heard a voice say behind her. She turned to see Joseph walking up to her. "They told me they got you and the others back, I came to see how you were."
She smiled at him. "Oh I'm doin' much better."
"I'm glad." Then he sat down next to her and was silent and his face darkened. "I'm sorry I couldn't help you. I wish I could have done more I just...wasn't strong enough."
She remembered how he tried and got hurt because of it. "Ye have nothin' to be sorry about. Ye did your best...and...it was sweet of ye." She said slightly blushing.
His eyes perked up. "R-r-really?" She nodded her head. It was a brave thing for someone to do for her and she was touched that he would go so far for her, and they just met. She reached out and touched his hand with hers.
She was really beginning to like him, but she wanted to take this slower, and make sure that he felt the same and that if anything did happen would be better than her last relationship.

FOH HQ FOR NEW YORK
Graydon was purely livid. He had already thrown everything that was either too heavy for not nailed down.
"That idiot Trask, when I get my hands on him he's going be sorry he lost that facility!" Those things aren't cheap and with all those people taken in by SHEILD we have to replace!"
"Where is he?" He demanded to one of the men gathered there.
One of them was brave enough to speak up. "We-we-we don't know sir, he hasn't surfaced yet."
"When he does I want to now immediately got it?" He barked at him. "Now we have to move around all the other major facilities because SHIELD might have everything about them from the files in Trask's facility."
"Sir that would but the other project behind schedule." One of the lackeys said.
"I KNOW THAT!" Creed yelled out at him. "But it's either that or let then get shut down, now get to work!"
They all ran out of his office, not wanting to be around anymore than they had to.
****
Back at the Xavier Institute they were watching the end of the elections for senator. "And the winner is...Edward Kelly." Came the announcement
There were several moans, snack foods flung at the screen and even a few profanities. Scott got up and turned it off. "Great that's just what we need now." He said darkly.
Jean was at his side placing a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"Like our lives aren't bad enough as it is." Bobby muttered.
"Yes well, though I am not pleased with this, we must move on. Which is why I have an announcement." Xavier said looking at all his students. "With the new threat and with our two new members to the New Mutants, I felt that we needed to balance the teams out, so two of you will now be on the X-Men."
"Cool who gets it?" Roberto asked.
Xavier smiled then. "Bobby, as one of the most experienced of the New Mutants you've shown you can handle yourself in tough situations."
Bobby was smiling ear to ear, and Jubilee was looking proud of her boyfriend.
"And the other member will be Vincent." Vincent looked up shocked. "You may be new, but you already have remarkable skills, and powers with a great degree of control."
"I-I-I'm honored." He said, not sure of what to say.
Xavier smiled at them all. "We will face more challenges in the future, but I feel that together we can face anything that will come our way."

BROTHERHOOD HOUSE
Wanda was tossing and turning, sweating profusely. She suddenly shot up nearly screaming. It was the same dream she had been having for a few nights. She was young and being locked up.
She was alone and scared, and her father was the one that put her there. 'But he would never do that....would he?' she asked herself.
She wanted to know why she was having these nightmares about this place, she was sure she had never been before, and why was she suddenly feeling vary afraid of her father?
THE END
Yes it's finally done, I like to thank you all that reviewed, and don't worry what's happening with Wanda is just a prelude to the next big story 'Family Affairs'. Just letting you know of something to expect from the next major story.
But before I do that I'll be doing two other ones first, that take place before the new one.
NctrnlBst: I'm glad you liked it I wasn't sure if I made the action fights good enough.
yae yang: Michael has a part here that I was saving for last, and for your information Magneto's new base is in the Savage Land, the Savage Land is a place in Marvel comics that is basically a hidden place where dinosaurs still thrive. New girl....Blink or Domino? Anyway I was thinking of using that last power sooner but the story unfolded a little differently and I needed to place that in there, so I changed things around a little.

Inside in a straight jacket was a red haired young boy of about seventeen. "So nice to see you again Prodigy 10." Sinister said.
The young man looked up at him. "It's you, we knew you would come and get us."
Sinister looked at the lad, he knew the boy had multiple personalities and this was why he needed Legion. He had gone thorough what he needed to him to do to this boy. To merge the personalities of his mind into something more to their liking.
"Mr. Lucas if you will." Sinister said to him grinning.
Lucas moved forward and entered his mind. Several tense minutes pasted, the young man thrashed and screamed, while Lucas grinned the entire time. After a while he stopped.
"Well?" Sinister asked.
"Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh." Came the voice of the boy. He slowly stood up his long hair in the way of his face. "Well this is interesting....I'm finally one again."
He looked at Sinister, the boy's eyes were crazed but there was no violence in them. "So glad to see you again, are we going to have some fun?"
"Oh yes, we are. First you are going to need a name." Sinister said to him.
"HALT!" They turned around to see a guard pointing a weapon at him, then he was raised into the air, grabbing his neck and making choking sounds. Then his head bent and there was a sickening snap sound.
Sinister looked at Lucas. "Don't look at me I didn't do that."
"No, I did." Said Prodigy 10.
"Well psychic powers....we should call you...Psi-co." Sinister said to him.
He thought it over a little. Then a disturbing smile came over his face. "I like it."

THE INSTITUTE
Amanda was walking around, she had just found out her parents had found a new home, and everyone was going to help them move in. She found Blink in the living room alone sitting on the couch.
"Hey." She said. Blink jumped at her, she was still nervous around everyone. "Are you alright Clarice?"
"Yeah, I guess." She said quietly. Even now she was still getting used to everyone and still shy around everyone. "They're trying to get a room ready for me." She said sadly.
Amada could tell there was something wrong. "Isn't that good?"
"Well yes it is....but...I just feel so....alone here." She sadly said to Amanda not looking at her. "I don't really know anybody here."
Amanda sat down next to her. "Well you know me...why don't you share my room with me, it's not a problem it's really big anyways, and you won't feel so alone."
"Really? I can? I don't want you to give up your room or anything." Blink said.
Amanda smiled at her. "It's no big deal, besides I feel so alone at times myself in that room, it would be nice to have a roommate."
Blink smiled.

A little later Jubilee was in the rec room with some of the others, she was looking a little down.
"Hey Jubes." Bobby said coming up from behind her.
"Oh hey Bobby." She said not noticing he had something behind his back.
"I know you've been down, so I got you something." He showed her a yellow coat almost exactly like her old one. "I know you lost your favorite coat when those jerks took you so I got you a new one. I hope you like it-"
Before he finished she snatched the coat and held it to her chest. "Oh Bobby thank you, thank you, I love it." She squealed happily and hugged him and planted a few kisses, leaving Bobby blushing a deep red.

Rahne was sitting outside enjoying the sun.
"Hey." She heard a voice say behind her. She turned to see Joseph walking up to her. "They told me they got you and the others back, I came to see how you were."
She smiled at him. "Oh I'm doin' much better."
"I'm glad." Then he sat down next to her and was silent and his face darkened. "I'm sorry I couldn't help you. I wish I could have done more I just...wasn't strong enough."
She remembered how he tried and got hurt because of it. "Ye have nothin' to be sorry about. Ye did your best...and...it was sweet of ye." She said slightly blushing.
His eyes perked up. "R-r-really?" She nodded her head. It was a brave thing for someone to do for her and she was touched that he would go so far for her, and they just met. She reached out and touched his hand with hers.
She was really beginning to like him, but she wanted to take this slower, and make sure that he felt the same and that if anything did happen would be better than her last relationship.

FOH HQ FOR NEW YORK
Graydon was purely livid. He had already thrown everything that was either too heavy for not nailed down.
"That idiot Trask, when I get my hands on him he's going be sorry he lost that facility!" Those things aren't cheap and with all those people taken in by SHEILD we have to replace!"
"Where is he?" He demanded to one of the men gathered there.
One of them was brave enough to speak up. "We-we-we don't know sir, he hasn't surfaced yet."
"When he does I want to now immediately got it?" He barked at him. "Now we have to move around all the other major facilities because SHIELD might have everything about them from the files in Trask's facility."
"Sir that would but the other project behind schedule." One of the lackeys said.
"I KNOW THAT!" Creed yelled out at him. "But it's either that or let then get shut down, now get to work!"
They all ran out of his office, not wanting to be around anymore than they had to.

Back at the Xavier Institute they were watching the end of the elections for senator. "And the winner is...Edward Kelly." Came the announcement
There were several moans, snack foods flung at the screen and even a few profanities. Scott got up and turned it off. "Great that's just what we need now." He said darkly.
Jean was at his side placing a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"Like our lives aren't bad enough as it is." Bobby muttered.
"Yes well, though I am not pleased with this, we must move on. Which is why I have an announcement." Xavier said looking at all his students. "With the new threat and with our two new members to the New Mutants, I felt that we needed to balance the teams out, so two of you will now be on the X-Men."
"Cool who gets it?" Roberto asked.
Xavier smiled then. "Bobby, as one of the most experienced of the New Mutants you've shown you can handle yourself in tough situations."
Bobby was smiling ear to ear, and Jubilee was looking proud of her boyfriend.
"And the other member will be Vincent." Vincent looked up shocked. "You may be new, but you already have remarkable skills, and powers with a great degree of control."
"I-I-I'm honored." He said, not sure of what to say.
Xavier smiled at them all. "We will face more challenges in the future, but I feel that together we can face anything that will come our way."

BROTHERHOOD HOUSE
Wanda was tossing and turning, sweating profusely. She suddenly shot up nearly screaming. It was the same dream she had been having for a few nights. She was young and being locked up.
She was alone and scared, and her father was the one that put her there. 'But he would never do that....would he?' she asked herself.
She wanted to know why she was having these nightmares about this place, she was sure she had never been before, and why was she suddenly feeling vary afraid of her father?
THE END
Yes it's finally done, I like to thank you all that reviewed, and don't worry what's happening with Wanda is just a prelude to the next big story 'Family Affairs'. Just letting you know of something to expect from the next major story.
But before I do that I'll be doing two other ones first, that take place before the new one.
