Chapter 123: A Sinister Encounter

Chapter 123: A Sinister Encounter

27th February 2006, New York City

(Scott Summers POV)

Scott Summers wasn’t happy. Well, he hasn’t been happy ever since he survived the plane crash that killed his parents and his brother. He doesn’t remember much about what happened after that, just that he had stayed at an orphanage for a while, before running away and getting found by the Professor.

The young mutant’s life has been filled with nothing but ha...

No Chapter Today

Yeah, I know, it's two missed chapters in two weeks, but these are my final exams here. The last exam being tomorrow, and considering that I probably failed the one yesterday, I really need to study. So, yeah, I'm not planning on writing anything today.

The good news is that tomorrow will be my last exam this semester, meaning that I'll probably tend to write more chapters per week. So, there's that, at least.

Again, sorry about the lack of consistency (Something I'm proud of) but...

Chapter 122: Spar

27th February 2006, New York City

(Jean Grey POV)

Jean was gaping at the explanation. Wanda sure learnt a lot about magic. The witch may claim her inexperience and ignorance but she has a good grounding on magical theory to understand the magic needed to create the room.

Wanda just picked up a ball, “Alright, let’s get to bowling. I know the rules from watching movies but I still have never tried this. So, please, take it easy on ...

Chapter 121: Require

27th February 2006, New York City

(Jean Grey POV)

Ms. Sayre shook her head with a sad look on her face, “Sorry, Kiddo. Magic is something you are born with. Although, there is a branch of magic called sorcery that anyone can do, which is what Jean’s teacher is specializing in, but it needs a lot of dedication and study, time you do not have. Jean here simply learnt a single spell in months. The journey to become a proper sorcerer is ...

No Chapter Today

Yeah, my phone died so I had to buy a new one and start setting up everything. Plus, I have a crap load of assignments to finish. I seriously don't have time to write anything today. I'm sorry. Friday's chapter will be uploaded as usual.

Thank you for your support,

A.

Chapter 120: Playdate

27th February 2006, New York City

(Jean Grey POV)

It’s been a few days since Jean had met Wanda properly, and it was surprising how close they are. Wanda was a breath of fresh air; she was funny, but also very socially awkward. She tended to say whatever crossed her mind without a second’s thought about who hears her. Jean giggled at the memory of Wanda calling Scott a dickhead to his face because he said that Wanda was too dangerou...

Chapter 119: The Gala

Chapter 119: The Gala

24th February 2006, New York City

(Tony Stark POV)

Tony Stark was bored out of his mind, something that shamed him immensely. He should not feel this way in an event like this, especially when his company is the one hosting it. This was, of course, the annual Stark Industries annual fundraiser for the Maria Stark foundation, a non profit organization created by his mother to provide people with opportunities to make their lives better. ...

Chapter 118: Bothersome Brothers

24th February 2006, New York City

(Wanda Maximoff POV)

The three girls burst into laughter.

“You know what, Wanda. You’re really fun.” Kitty exclaimed, “From now on, the three of us are friends. No, not just friends, the best of friends in the world.”

Friends, she never thought that she’d ever had any. She always assumed that she would be alone for as long as she lived.

Wanda grinned brightly, �...

Chapter 117: Making Friends

24th February 2006, New York City

(Wanda Maximoff POV)

“Ah, Ms. Maximoff, I was afraid you’d gotten lost.”

Here in front of her was her guardian, Jasmine Sayre. Wanda knew that expression on her face, this was her teaching face. She’s very strict when she’s teaching, especially when it comes to magic.

Wanda just nodded, used to her strict tone. She looked around and found that her class was the same as the X-...

Chapter 116: First Day of School

24th February 2006, New York City

(Wanda Maximoff POV)

Wanda Maximoff was going to school. Holy shit, she was actually going to school. She never imagined the day where she would actually get to live like a normal teenager, like those TV shows she liked to watch. It was inconceivable, overwhelming; she didn’t know what to do. How is she going to blend in? How does one make friends? She never had to make friends before. Oh g...

Chapter 115: Trouble in Paradise

23rd February 2006, New York City

(Jasmine Sayre POV)

I walk down the stairs as leave Wanda’s room, a warm smile on my face. I was proud of her, I really was. It’s been a trialing couple of days for her. From discovering memories repressed by reality magic, in denial because of what happened to her parents. Poor girl, her magic awakened at the worst possible moment and a gigantic burst of accidental magic that caused her ...

Chapter 114: Focus

Chapter 114: Focus

23rd February 2006, New York City

(Wanda Maximoff POV)

Wanda followed after her teacher as she left the Xavier institute. In truth, she was embarrassed, ashamed of her failure; her mission did not go according to plan. The teenager thought she was ready. This was a reality check and a big one at that. Jasmine may have told her that she had an extremely high potential, but Wanda always forgot how much time and effort it would take just to m...

Chapter 113: The Return

Chapter 113: The Return

23rd February 2006, New York City

“Perhaps I do know who you are, perhaps I don’t. It shouldn’t matter either way. You are who you are, just as I am who I am. Who you were previously is not more important than who you are now. Appreciate what you have for you will find only pain and sorrows if remember.”

The man looked at me and unsealed his metal claws, “Please, you’re the only lead I got.”

I sigh, and with a snap...

Chapter 112: Meeting the X-men

No idea how I managed to post this chapter. I fell down the stairs and bruised by ribs. Ended up in the hospital all day. Still managed to write the chapter though.

I chuckled inwardly at the nervous looks of the people standing in front of me. The X-men and the brotherhood, were looking...

Chapter 111: The Girl in Red

23rd February 2006, New York City

(Wanda Maximoff POV)

Wanda was ready. Her teacher had given her a mission to prove herself, to get a measure of her capacity. She had trained for months in the mansion. And while she had just made a breakthrough a few hours ago, this was the perfect opportunity to experiment with her newfound control over her powers.

Wanda was already feeling powerful, in control, like nothing could stop he...

Chapter 110: The Juggernaut

23rd February 2006, New York City

(Jean Grey POV)

“What would be fun?” Jean asked, confused; she had spaced out of the conversation a bit.

“Scott just challenged Lance into a race to the top of the mountain. No powers allowed.”

Huh. Ah yes, the alpha male stuff. Scott wants to prove himself superior in a desperate way to impress me and Lance was doing the same for Kitty, who seems to understand what was happeni...

Chapter 109: Recovery

Chapter 109: Recovery

23rd February 2006, New York City

(Jean Grey POV)

The last few months in Jean Grey’s life were still strange to her. It was odd, being free after so long. There were so many possibilities, so many choices. It was too much. However, three main paths stood in front of her. She could have stayed in the mansion and continue learning from the Professor, she could have gone to Doctor Strange for his offer of tutelage, or she could have take...

Chapter 108: Mission

Chapter 108: Mission

23rd February 2006, New York City

(Wanda Maximoff POV)

She wailed in pain. The emotions were simply too much and her magic responded, creating a giant pulse of magic that obliterated everything around her. Red Wanda wasn’t there anymore. There was no use for her anymore. They were one and the same.

Wanda was tired, but for the first time in her life, she felt free.

The last thing she saw was her newest mother figure catchin...

Chapter 107: Free

Chapter 107: Free

23rd February 2006, New York City

(Wanda Maximoff POV)

Wanda refused this. This can’t be real. She refused to accept that this was real. She did not kill her parents. Suddenly, her eyes turned read and a wave of red energy originated from her and suddenly the room changed. Everything was still destroyed but the bodies of their attackers were gone. Instead, in the middle of it was a missile with the name Stark that seemed to have malfuncti...

Chapter 106: Tribulation

Chapter 106: Tribulation

23rd February 2006, New York City

(Wanda Maximoff POV)

It’s been a few months since Wanda had accepted Jasmine’s offer of tutelage and she couldn’t be happier with the results. For the first time in her life, the former inmate had some form of control over her powers. It was a control that was born of a proper understanding of her abilities. It took some time for her to subconsciously label her powers as magic. But as soon as s...

Chapter 105: Savior

Chapter 105: Savior

3rd September 2005, New York City

(Wanda Maximoff POV)

For the first time in years, Wanda had hope. It eclipsed her rage, swallowing it hole. Wanda wasn’t alone and she wasn’t going to let go of this woman anytime soon.

“I’m in!”

The woman smiled at her and the wall behind her started to slowly melt into a door. But instead of leading to the outside of her prison, there was a giant house on the other side. It even ha...

Chapter 104: Wanda

Chapter 104: Wanda

3rd September 2005, New York City

(Wanda Maximoff POV)

Wanda was barely thirteen years old when she was left in this hellhole. Abandoned by her father and her brother because of their fear of her powers. Truth be told, Wanda wasn’t really sure who she was angrier with. Her twin brother was with her since birth. They had promised each other to stay together forever and he just spat on everything they had together, thirteen years of being ...

Chapter 103: Finding a Successor

Chapter 103: Finding a Successor

3rd September 2005, New York City

(Jasmine POV)

I watched as the avatar of the Phoenix force walked away and got out of my classroom. The talk was somewhat draining and I knew that even if she didn’t show it, she was overwhelmed by the information I gave her. Anyone would freak out if they found out that they were destined to serve some sort of all powerful entity. At least, I didn’t tell her about her probable immortalit...

Chapter 102: The Phoenix Force

Chapter 102: The Phoenix Force

3rd September 2005, New York City

(Jean POV)

“Human nature doesn’t change child. Believe me, they will find a loophole in their laws to condemn you. You will not be considered humans and they will hunt you down like animals. The only reason that you haven’t already been revealed in because of my mist. While it isn’t as effective as with mages. It still helps you retain your secrecy.”

“How?”

The history...

Chapter 101: Meeting the Morrigan

Chapter 101: Meeting the Morrigan

3rd September 2005, New York City

(Jean POV)

Jean had barely slept last night; she was thinking about her, frankly, insane theory that her history teacher is one of the most feared entities in the world. It was inconceivable, unthinkable, absurd. It was already surprising that she was a mutant as well, and a very powerful one with very good control over her powers. But that doesn’t mean that she’s some sort of mass murde...

Chapter 100: Finding Out

Chapter 100: Finding Out

2nd September 2005, New York City

(Jean POV)

Dr. Strange hummed thoughtfully, “The Wadjet. An old Egyptian Goddess, if I remember correctly. The Goddess of serpents and Magic. Here let me check for a second. My master, the Ancient One, has notes dating back to Atlantis. There should be one about Wadjet somewhere.”

He raised his hand and an orange portal appeared. He put his hand in and got a book from inside. He closed the ...

Chapter 99: Visiting Sorcerers

Chapter 99: Visiting Sorcerers

2nd September 2005, New York City

(Jean POV)

Jean was in the car, watching the city go by as it moved forward. She had no idea who would buy a car in New York as it would be easier to just take a cab or something. However, she was sitting in the backseat of the christened X-Car, which was just a normal back car. She had no idea why Scott always adds X before the name of any vehicle if it belonged to the institute. They even had...

Chapter 98: Awaken

Chapter 98: Awaken

2nd September 2005, Valley of Kings

(Jean POV)

Jean had the strangest dream. She had the worst day ever. She lost control over her powers during class which resulted into some sort of altercation with her history teacher. Then she ended up in some sort of suicide mission to get the Professor against some sort of blue god who kicked their asses. The dream must have ended because the last thing she remembered was Professor Xavier telling her...

Chapter 97: The Endless Desert

Chapter 97: The Endless Desert

1st September 2005, Valley of Kings

(Mystique POV)

For the first time in her life, Mystique was absolutely speechless. What she has just seen, what she has just experienced, was something that both humbled her and scared her out of her mind. Here in the sands of the desert, in the heart of Egypt, she stood still, in shock.

To be honest with herself, the shapeshifter entered this fight knowing that she had a small chance a...

Chapter 96: The Rematch

Chapter 96: The Rematch

1st September 2005, Valley of Kings

(Jasmine POV)

My thoughts were interrupted by a gravelly voice, “How? You’re supposed to be dead!”

Oh, yeah, that guy. I completely forgot about him. I stare at him and just shrug, “There’s a reason they called me a Goddess, En Sabah Nur.”

My words seem to enrage him further, “Do you have any idea how long I was imprisoned because of you?”

I just keep smirking at hi...
