The office of Scott Summers, and Emma Frost.
Approximately 1 month ago:
“Hey Scott, did you guys want to see me? Oh it’s all of us,” Said Kitty Pryde, as she entered the large office located in the center of the Institute’s complex.
“Go ahead and take a seat Kitty, we have an announcement to make,” Scott said, as he motioned to the open seat beside Wolverine, Angel, and Beast with one hand, and put the other on Emma’s shoulder.
“So wha’dya guys want?” Wolverine asked.
“We have an announcement,” Emma said, holding her stomache, “We’re pregnant.”
“Oh wow! That IS exciting news. Looks like we’ll have a little X-Baby bouncing around here soon!” Beast said, as Wolverine began to stand up.
“This is F*c*i*g ridiculous. Jean hasn’t been dead for that long! How is it that you can be over her so soon? You were married to her! Oh I remember, she couldn’t give you what you wanted, so you switched to the former villain, and official X bimbo here. You never really f*c*i*g loved her!”
“Logan!” Emma yelled.
“No don’t Logan me. You knew he was married man, and you still had your little affair. I loved her. I always loved her, but I couldn’t be with her because of you,” he yelled, as he extended the claws from the back of his hand, and began to walk towards Scott.
“I did love her, now put your claws away, and act like an adult. What was I supposed to do dwell on her dying for the rest of my life? Well I can’t do that.” Scott yelled, as he reached up to his visor in an almost automatic defensive move.
“Both of you stop it! We’re X-Men,” Warren yelled, as he grabbed Wolverine by the shoulder, and pulled him back.
Logan sheathed his claws as he turned for the door “I’m getting the F*c* out of here. If this is what being an X-Man is, I think I’ll try being an Avenger for a while.”
“Well that didn’t go over very well…” Emma said as she turned to Scott.
“No it didn’t. And unfortunately, it’s not going to get any better. As you both know, Paige and I aren’t doing very well as a couple, so I’m going to be needing to take some time off to try and fix out problems. I’m sorry you guys, but I can’t let this ruin out relationship,” Warren said as he stood up, and turned for the door.
“Well at least you’ve still got me, and Hank,” Kitty said, hoping to lighten the mood.
“Actually, as you know Scott, Ororo and I decided to take the president’s offer. I’m going to have to leave the team too,” Hank said, as he glanced over at the old portrait of Jean, himself, Scott, Warren, and Bobby standing in their caps and gowns with Professor Xavier on their graduation day so many years ago. “I’m going to go meet with her now to go over potential members for our team.”
“So now what?” Kitty said, looking at Scott
“I’m not really sure...we don’t have a team any more,” He said, squeezing Emma’s hand gently.
“Oh would you both stop. I knew that was coming. Well not really Logan’s reaction, but I knew about Warren and Hank. That’s all they’ve been thinking about for the past few days, it was hard to not over hear them thinking. I’ve got us covered. Dani, Marrow, and Pete Wisdom will be joining the team,” Emma said.
“But I thought Dani said she only wanted to teach, and Sarah is with the Morlocks and Gene Nation,” Kitty said, with a confused look on her face.
“Well with us demolishing the X-Man advised training squads in exchange for team advised ones, Dani decided that it would be better to become a full time X-Man, and Sarah arrived late last night. Gene Nation kicked her out when she refused to kill a child who had received the cure. I thought you’d be excited, you and Pete can re kindle you old flame,” Emma had a small smirk on her face.
“Well of course I am, it’s just kind of a shock”
The bedroom of Scott Summer and Emma Frost.
Now:
“They don’t like you...they hate you. They want you to loose your baby. They wish you were dead. They hate you.”
“No, no they don’t! we’re X-Men! They love my baby just like I do,” Emma said at loud, not realizing she wasn’t just thinking, but talking. Recently those thoughts had been filling her head constantly. She couldn’t shake them off, no matter how hard she tried.
“Emma, what is it?” Scott said as they walked into the hall.
“Oh nothing”
“It doesn’t sound like nothing. Are you ok?”
“Yes I’m fine, my telepathy has just been acting up lately.”
“Hank said that might happen during the pregnancy. It’s just a side effect. Are you still getting the baby’s brain waves?”
“Yes, it’s very strong. I can feel him now. I can tell he’s going to be a little telepath like me.”
“And how can you tell that>”
“If he wasn’t going to be, it’d be harder to feel him”
Boom!
“What was that?” Emma said, as she began to run down the hallway.
“I don’t know, but we had better run.”
Outside the Xavier’s Institute.
Now:
“Who are they?” Dani yelled, as Scott and Emma ran out the front door, meeting the rest of the Astonishing Team. There were six people standing outside.
“No it can’t be..”Scott said, as he looked at them.
“What! What is it?” Marrow yelled, as she extended two bone daggers from her palms.
“It’s Cerebro’s X-Men. We fought them before, but they aren’t real.”
“Well they look d*m* real to me. They blew that tree right up,” Pete Wisdom yelled to Scott.
“Cerebro must be sentient again. It’s got to be using the Danger Room to create them,” Scott said reaching for his ear piece “Tessa, it’s Scott,” He said into it “ Go check on Cerebro, something’s wrong.”
“It can’t be, I have it shut down for maintenance,” she replied.
“Scott…these aren’t the Danger Room’s holograms. I’m picking up brain waves….”
