The past week had been a rough one for Gambit, to say the very least. First there was the fact that damn near everyone he knew telling him about Rogue making out with Deadpool, then he had to deal a Mystique related attack (not an uncommon thing, but she really seemed to enjoy sticking the knife in that his relationship with Rogue was pretty much dead and bu...
Bayville, New York. The location of Professor Xavier's School for the Gifted, a place where mutants receive rigorous and specialized training in the use of their individual genetic gifts. There Professor Charles Xavier has created an environment where all mutants can live in peace, learn and develop their abilities to the fullest. Charles seeks to educate th...
The incident had started innocently enough during morning exercises. The day started as every day at Xavier's School for the Gifted, with a brisk, dangerous, team mission in the Danger Room. Cyclops had ordered the small cadre of Blue Team members into the mission at five in the morning. The team consisted of Cyclops, the team leader, Jean Grey, his redheade...
Gambit welcomed the morning with a cup of black coffee and a cigarette on the back porch. It had been two weeks since Jubilee’s return to the school, two weeks that Wolverine had been in a bad mood. Most of the X-Men didn’t see the connection that was so obvious to the Cajun. After all, he had years of experience with unattainable love. Which made him even...
With sirens blaring and crowds of people crying out for help, the Brotherhood of Mutants had decided to make a ‘statement’ in Central Park… One that involved a great deal of noise and property damage. Avalanche and Blob were busy tearing up the walkways and street lamps while Pyro set trees on fire, laughing it up while they scared off groups of people, who...
Morning broke on the Xavier estate, its students just getting woken up for the morning classes and the staff preparing to teach them. The kitchen was busy with Emma brewing a pot of vanilla coffee while Logan read from the newspaper in his hands, the plum of cigar smoke trailing up as Kitty and Scott walked in, a muffin in Shadowcat's mouth and almost droppi...
August 4th 1977 was the date the death knell of the X-Men had been signed. Cyclops was gone. The leader of the X-Men was dead. Charles Xavier was gone. The founder of the X-Men was in space to find a new home for mutant Skrulls. Jean Grey was gone. The light of the X-Men had resigned out of a fervent belief that Cyclops was still alive. Magneto had returned...
Day two: Wednesday Morning briefings were always boring. Rogue yawned as Scott droned on about something or other. Time to make his move. No one was paying attention. He leaned over her agenda and put another page in front of it. She looked down at it and then up at him. He smiled, eyes wide open, trying for that old innocent look. He'd spent much of the p...
It didn't take long for Black Cat to put her full plan into action. Unbeknownst to her, of course, it was all the symbiote's doing. From day one that it met her it had its plan to grow in power and eventually replicate, but Cat did do her part well, and continued to. Black Cat attacked the world on three fronts: herself, Rogue, and Spider-Man. Cat, with her...
All I wanted to do was walk into my familiar room, play a few video games, read a comic or two, or maybe even re-watch an episode of Battlestar Galactica. Was that too much to hope for? I could do more research on defeating the demons after a little rest. Unfortunately, I'm afraid it was too much to ask, for there was a sock on the doorknob. I was a bit su...
