X-Men Soap Opera!

Josh - "nope, I got killed by a student, and I revived myself, and just had gold skin, I don't know why it turned gold though"

Noah - "that must of been strange"

Josh - "yeh it was, so what are your powers?"

*cyclops reached the wall of the east wing, he knew frank would be here...*

Noah - "I call it Shadow Arts, I just can controll dark energy, to make blasts and beams, I just started to make protective walls"

Josh - "cool, I heard about you and Jubilee hooking up"

Noah - "yeah, but she has been captured, and I couldn't help, just like I couldn't help Michael"

Sparkie finished off cleaning the mess she'd made and wiped the bench over so it was spotless, she turned and yawned a little, stretching and exposing her navel, covering it up as she heard footsteps.

*cyclops climbed the wall and looked in, there was frank, all alone, watching tv. cyclops scanned the room, no cameras... perfect... he climbed slowly through the window and moved silently over to the back of the sofa.*

cyclops - "hello frank..."

Sparkie sighed, the cramp had returned, it always hapened to her...and she knew why but where had it come from? She walked toward an oak door and knocked, hoping the Professor wasnt too busy.

pr x - "yes sparkie? come in..."

Sparkie slipped in and closed the door behind her, "You know why I'm here and what's annoying the crap outta me right?"

pr x - "i believe so... yout tattoo, tell me aout it..."

*frank dived out of his chair towards his gunrack, but cyclops moved to block him. frank took a swing at cyclops but cylops deflected the attack and grabbed frank by the collar, pushing him agaist the wall.*

Josh - "hey! you can't blame yourself, you're not an X-man, and you haven't had experienced, I'm not gonna say we will get her back, because I don't know if we will..."

Noah - "at least your honest"

Josh - "yeah, it's a curse but a gift also, kinda like being a mutant, but don't beat yourself up over it, we can't change the past, so no point dwelling over a problem we can't fix"

"I need to know where its from...why it hurts so much...if it has a purpose I gotta know what it is."

*cyclops was leaning right up against his face*

cyclops - "why did you sell me out..."

frank - "i dunno what your talkin about..."

cyclops - "i lost a man out there because of your faulty information... who are you working for..."

frank - "i told you i dunno what your talkin about..."

cyclops - "you know what i'm capable of frank, don't f*ck with me..."

frank - "but i..."

cyclops - "if you don't tell me i'm opening my visor..."

frank - "you wouldn't..."

cyclops - "i would"

pr x - "may i see it?"

Noah - "you're right, I'll just try and lighten up from now on"

Josh - "good, so what do you normally, besides blaming yourself?"

Noah - "I meditate..."

Sparkie nodded and removed her old shirt, revealing her taught muscular torso shrouded in an ancient hindu like tattooing.

pr x - "quite fascinating, so many different styles incorporated... when did you get it, and where?"

"I was travelling round India and Nepal when I was mugged one night, overpowered and kept in a dark room for almost a week and a half...they must have inked this onto me when I was there because ever since then I've been getting stabbing pains over the tattoos...I cant stop it."

Josh - "Meditate! isn't that like boring?"

Noah - "not to me, it helps me calm down, plus I keep seeing this place, but is very blurring, and i can't make it out, but I feel the more times I meditate, it gets clearer"

pr x - "really, that is quite odd... what possible reason would there be... wait, i am sensing a strange aura around it though... hmm... interesting... almost like another consciousness... odd..."

frank - "please... please..."

cyclops - "the tell me what i want to know..."

frank - "alright... alright... they're keeping your friends in a military base near san francisco... its also a sentinel factory like the last one..."

cyclops - "but why frank... what possible reason..."

frank - "theyve got my wife and kids... please don't kill me..."

cyclops - "i won't... but if your information is wrong... i'll kill you..."

*and in minutes cyclops was on his plane headed back for the u.s.*

Celia, by this time in being left behind, walked aimlessly around the mansion. She then found her sketch book. She had an idea. She would sketch everyone that she made friends with. That way if they ever left or died, she could still have them there.

Smiling she goes to find Sam. He'd been the nicest so far so maybe he should be the first.

Sparkie almost doubled over, struggling to breathe, she threw her head back, panting as it subsided, she shook her head, "Ok then..." She sighed heavily, "What the hell just happened?"
