Time Bomb

(????'s POV)

It seems everything is going the way it should be however I'm running out of time. Jaden made a wise decision to join the X-Men but my concerns are set on Emily. She's slowly starting to remember her past and thankfully it's at a slow rate otherwise the X-Men would have their hands full. Cody is starting to get better at his powers and controlling them. But I fear for Emily, if she reaches at a critical mass, there is no doubt that she will lose control and lose herself. That is what I fear.

I've seen that the Brotherhood member, Toad, is still the jester of that team. I slowly walk pass the MRD and I asked as I looked at Toad in his cage, "Are you Toad?" Toad asked with a grin, "You're from the Brotherhood?" I said seriously as Toad frowned, "No. But I do have useful information for them and they might set you free." Toad asked happily as he jumped around, "What is it?"

I said seriously, "A mutant of tremendous power will come here for sanctuary. A safe place for him and I need you to tell the Brotherhood of his power." Toad nodded his head and said with a yellow sharp toothy smile and eagerness, "Sure no problem," I said seriously as I walked away, "You must not tell them that I told you this. Otherwise they'll coming looking for me."

I walked out of the MRD base without being seen and looked up at the sky. I said seriously as I started to run, "Be strong, Emily. Be strong."

(Emily's POV)

I've started to run for my life and I remembered what Teach had said, Monsters can't be controlled! I came looking back to find the fiery enormous bird chasing me and I kept running. I heard voices calling out my name and I woke with a startle. I found Logan hovering over me and I saw him unsheathing his adamantium claws with a snarl as I screamed in terror.

Logan shook my shoulder and asked concern as he helped me get up on the bed, "You okay?" I said as I rubbed my eyes, "Yeah, just a nightmare." Logan chuckled and said with a smirk, "You need to relax, Emily." I sighed and said as I sat myself up, "Yeah, just need to go easy on sweets." Logan chuckled and I smiled at him. He then looked at me seriously and he then pulled me in for a kiss. I was surprised and excited as well.

I wrapped my arms around his neck as he wrapped his muscular arms around my waist and lifts me up as we both fell on my bed.

I woke up with a startle and I felt my face as I looked around. I said with a relief sigh, "Another bittersweet dream." I got up and put on grey sweatpants to cover my white nightgown that went to mid-thigh. I walked out and I saw Logan going downstairs to the subbasement. I followed him and he locked me out once I reached the sliding metal doors.  I said annoyed, "Okay that could've gone better."

I sat down and leaned on the metal wall next to the doors to wait for Logan. I guess Logan didn't want me to listen to what he and the Professor were talking about. I then fell asleep and I felt something warm around my body and I slightly opened my eyes as I smelled a musky odor and closed my eyes once more. I think that was first time I felt safe and continent as if I forgotten about my responsibilities of an X-Man.

I was then laid on something soft as I felt some of my sheets covered up on me. I felt a finger move a strand of my hair and I swear that I felt warm lips on my forehead.

(Logan's POV)

After putting Emily to bed, I never realized how…beautiful she could be when she is asleep. She looked…perfect even when she was awake. But I have to resist the temptation that woman was giving me and her smell of vanilla and cranberry was intoxicating. I closed the door behind me and I heard Cody asked suspiciously, "What are you doing in my Sis's bedroom?" I sighed and said gruffly as I left, "None of your business." Cody said seriously as he followed me, "I want to know."

I sighed and said seriously as I stopped, "Your sister followed me and she was waiting for me outside while I was talking to Charles but she was asleep." Cody sighed and said as he shook his head, "That's sis for ya. Always worrying about people and not about herself." I asked gruffly with curiously, "Was she always like this?" Cody said sadly, "Yeah, she's always worrying what other people are doing or thinking. I never once saw her doing something for herself."

I sighed and said as I headed to my room, "Go to bed, pup. We have a mission in the morning." Cody sighed and said sleepily after he yawned, "Night Logan." If that pup was right, I'm starting to wonder if she could take at least a day off for herself?

(Emily's POV)

I woke up and put my hair in a ponytail as I went downstairs and cooked breakfast with eggs, bacon, toast, pancakes, and fresh orange juice. I could hear Cody and Bobby coming down the stairs and Cody said with a smile, "Told ya she was making breakfast, Bobby." Bobby looked at me with a big grin on his face and Cody elbowed him and said in disbelief, "Dude, that's my sister you're drooling over." Bobby slightly blushed and I said with a smile, "Cody be nice and grab a plate."

Kitty came into the kitchen with Jaden as she was holding Jaden's waist. Jaden said with a smile after he yawned, "Sorry everyone. Did we miss breakfast?" I laughed and said with a smile as Bobby grabbed a plate, "No, you're just in time." Kitty smelled and said with a smile, "Thanks. After Jaden and I went to train in the Danger Room we forgot to eat dinner." I looked at Jaden with a raised eyebrow and Jaden said defensively with his hands in surrender, "It's true I swear."

I laughed and saw Forge coming in the kitchen and said with a smile as after he smelled the aroma of the kitchen, "Ah, Emily's good cooking." I said with a smile as I handed him a plate, "Eat up." Cody said with a smile as Hank came in the kitchen, "Beast, Sis's cooking is ready." I look to see if Scott, Emma, or Logan were coming.

I asked as Hank grabbed a plate and Ororo coming into kitchen to grab a plate, "Hank have you seen Frost, Scott, or Logan? They should be down here by now." Hank said as he poured the coffee in his mug, "I thought I saw Scott with Miss Frost and Logan I don't know." I sighed and I said annoyed as I put down my plate, "I bet I know where they are."

Hank asked curiously as he raised his eyebrow, "Scott and Miss Frost?" I said annoyed as I walked out, "If there is one thing I hate is people not being here for breakfast." I went to the subbasement and I couldn't find Logan but I went to Cerebro to find Scott and Emma together trying to find Jean. I understood that Scott wanted to find Jean more than anything but he had responsibilities of being an X-Man.

I asked annoyed as I startled Scott but not Emma due to being a telepath, "How come you two aren't down stairs eating?" Scott said with attitude, "Emily this is a bit more important than breakfast." I said seriously with attitude as I poked his chest, "And have the responsibilities of an X-Man is more important than finding your girlfriend." Emma asked annoyed dryly, "Could you two stop arguing?" Emma then sighed and said annoyed as she took off the helmet, "We're finished."

I sighed and Scott said apologetically, "I'm sorry, okay? Don't stop." Emma said as I knew who coming here, "It's not you. It's him." Logan came through the metal automatic sliding door and said seriously, "I need you to find the Brotherhood." I said annoyed as I rubbed the back of my neck, "Great, I'm gonna miss breakfast and now I have to fight the Brotherhood on an empty stomach." Logan said seriously, "This is serious Emi and I want you to stay behind." I exclaimed in disbelief, "What?" Logan said gruffly, "You heard me. You are staying behind with Frost."

I asked seriously as I pulled Logan outside of Cerebro, "Can we talk?" Once the door closed and I asked seriously and disbelief, "What can't I go?" Logan said gruffly as he turned to look away from me, "You wouldn't understand." I asked worried as I made him to look at me, "What wouldn't I understand?" Logan put my hand to my side and said seriously as he went into Cerebro, "You are staying and that is final." I scoffed and the door closed on me blocking me from Logan, Emma, and Scott. I said annoyed with frustration as I walked away, "Logan sometimes you are impossible."

(Jaden's POV)

Logan called us to the garage and I didn't see my sister coming with Logan and I thought she would be with him.

Ororo asked worried as Cody came to Hank's side, "What's the emergency?" Logan explained seriously as he walked towards us, "The Brotherhood broke into the MRD and kidnap an innocent mutant." I asked worried with a raised eyebrow as I stood next to Kitty, "So this is a rescue operation?" Logan said gruffly as he looked at each of us, "Yep then we're gonna give him back to the MRD."

Cody exclaimed as if Logan was insane, "Logan are you crazy? Did you forget what those MRD scumbags did to me?" I said seriously and angrily, "Look Logan I didn't sign up to work for the government and those MRD scumbags could have one less mutant to keep captive."

Scott said with attitude and anger, "Handing mutants over to the government?" Scott was about to walk out on the team until Logan said gruffly, "I said the same thing to Charles. He told me if we don't half of the world's mutants are gonna get wiped out."

I said seriously, "Okay if the Professor said so I'm in. Besides Kitty might need me." Cody asked with a raised eyebrow, "Kitty?" I said with a smirk as I looked at Kitty, "Katharine." Kitty blushed as she looked down. Cody growled and muttered, "Girlfriend thief." Emma told us telepathically, "I found them they blown up the MRD data base." Logan said gruffly, "Let's go X-Men." I sighed and said as I placed my hand on Kitty's shoulder, "It's gonna be one of those days."

(Emily's POV)

I said with a smirk as I walked to Cerebro, "Okay time to find out what you're hiding Logan." I still noticed that Logan left Emma here but if I could follow her without her knowing I could still go to the mission. Fighting the Brother is the one I wasn't going to miss. I saw Emma coming out of the Cerebro and I started to follow her and when she walked by Forge I'm guessing she didn't tell Logan that he was here. I smirked knowing she gave me her trump card.

Emma went to the Blackbird hanger and I asked seriously as I came through the door, "Where are you going?" Emma said seriously, "Logan told you to stay here Emily." I said with a smirk, "Then you don't mind if I tell Logan telepathically that you lied." Emma sneered and said angrily, "You wouldn't dare." I place my right hand on my forehead and said telepathically with a smirk, "Try me."

Emma sighed and said stubbornly as we walked up the ramp, "Fine." I said with a smile hiding a smirk underneath it, "I knew you see it my way." We flew to where the team was and Logan didn't like the fact that I was on board and Logan said gruffly as I read Cody's mind, "I told you to stay." I said seriously with my arms crossed, "Logan, I know what we have to do and I know I don't like it. But we have to otherwise we'll lose all of the mutants on Genosha."

Logan sighed and walked up the ramp and into the jet as the rest of the team. We took off into the air and I kept thing about what Teach said. What if Draco was some kind of monster that couldn't be controlled? Draco said annoyed mentally, "Still wondering what Banner had said." I said mentally with worry, "Sorry. Just that I wonder if I lose control in my powers? What then? Will I hurt the people I love and care about?"

Draco said mentally wisely, "There will be a time when you lose yourself to power but if there are people who care and love you then maybe you will have the will power to pull you out of the darkness." I heard Kitty's voice calling me, "Emily? Emily!" I was startled a little and Kitty asked worried, "Are you okay?" I said with a smile, "Yeah, just spaced out a little." Emma looked at me with worry and I knew she was trying to read my mind but I kept changing to random thoughts I was thinking.

I looked outside and saw the white airplane and I sensed another telepath on the plane and I asked with a smirk, "Hey, Iceman how about we have on frozen plane?" Logan asked seriously and gruffly, "Are you out of your mind? What about the mutant we need to rescue?" I explained with the smirk still on my face, "Simple, Shadowcat will do the job as we get under the plane." Hank said with a smile as he flew the jet, "That is an ingenious plan Emily, if I do say so myself."

Emma opened the ramp and Bobby came down the ramp and used his ice powers on the plane to slow it down. I said seriously as the jet hovered over the airplane, "Shadowcat, you're up." Kitty phased through the jet and Hank lowered the jet underneath the plane Kitty then phased through with a man with white long hair with a red and blue suit. The suit had hole that were made for tube to go in. The white haired man asked worried as he looked up at me, "Who are you?"

I said with concern and care as I smiled innocently, "It's alright we're here to help." Cody said as he picked up the white haired man, "Don't worry we'll get you back to the MRD." The white haired man said seriously with worry, "No, it's not safe. I can't be around people." Cody then helped the white haired man into a seat and Jaden asked with a smirk as Kitty sat down, "So how was the flight?" Kitty said after she kissed my brother's cheek, "Terrible."

Just then the team and I heard the explosion of the engines and Hank said as we held on to the chairs, "Prepare for impact." Cody was whimpering and I know he and crashes were things he was afraid of. Logan said gruffly as he held on, "Iceman we need a landing strip now." Bobby took off his seatbelt and went in front of where Hank and Emma were and he used his ice powers to make the landing strip Bobby said strenuously, "I'm almost at my limit." I took off my seatbelt and went towards to Bobby. I placed my hands on his back and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm gonna give you a boost."

I closed my eyes and I focused on my ice powers to help Bobby give a boost he finally made the landing strip as the jet landed hard and everyone else holding for dear life. Finally the jet stopped and Bobby dropped into Hank's arm as Hank said impressed, "I didn't know you had it in you." Bobby said with a smile as he looked at me, "I've could've done it without Goddess." I smiled and I asked as I looked around, "Where's that mutant?"

Jaden followed him and so did I as Jaden asked worried, "No, where are you going?" The white haired man replied before he fell, "I have to get away." Logan and the others followed and I said worried, "He's in bad shape." Logan said gruffly as he picked up the white haired man, "I'll get him back on board." Cody said with a smirk, "Well take care of the Brotherhood."

Jaden said with a smirk, "Finally some action." When the rest of the team and I headed for the Brotherhood the guy in steel and dark navy suit made the earth move as almost nearly fell. The white haired man in the green suit said with a smile as I heard him from behind me, "Well three new recruits for the X-Men." I tried to punch him but he was too quick as I growled in frustration Scott fired his optic blast at the guy and I was hit with a psychic attack from this purple haired woman.

I then placed my left hand on my forehead and I made a psychic attack of my own as she fell greatly down by my power. She tried to counterattack by I brushed it off easily as I made another powerful psychic attack as she fell once more as I said with a smirk, "Too easy." Cody and Jaden were fighting off the Blob as my brothers try to pin him down. They guy in the green suit was going after Logan so I used my ice power to incase him in ice.

Logan turned around to find the mutant frozen and I blew him a kiss with a wink. Logan asked annoyed gruffly, "Would you people stop saving me?" I asked with a smirk, "Where's the fun in that?" A blue skinned woman fired at Logan and I dodged her firing as I yelled as I ran towards the blue haired woman, "Shadowcat!" The woman yelled annoyed, "Get out here and help us, Toad!" I knocked her out with a punch as she turned around I saw Rouge yelling in concern and fear, "Help! Somebody!"

I yelled with concern as Cody and Emma helped Hank out of the ice, "Storm!" Ororo yelled as she made a powerful tornado, "Rouge get back!" The white haired man went up but something tells me that the electricity around his body was going to be bigger. I flew up in the tornado and I said mentally as I made a telekinetic force field around the white haired man, "Draco, I need your help." Draco said mentally as I felt his power coursing through me, "Of course."

I could see he was going to let out the biggest explosion I have ever seen the blast was so enormous that it knocked me out and into the ocean. I then felt a pulse of power as if it was my heart and as I opened my eyes they were purple with diamond pupils.

(Jaden's POV)

I looked around as I yelled worried and the white haired man was safely down, "Goddess!" I looked at the ripples in the sea and I yelled frighten for my life, "Goddess!" I looked in the sea water and I saw enormous purple, blue, green aura dragon coming to the surface as it roared at the sky.

I saw my sister in the middle of the dragon with purple eyes. She and the dragon looked at the Brotherhood as the dragon bellowed with a roar angrily. Emily and the dragon was about to strike down at the Brotherhood until Logan yelled, "Goddess!" She and the dragon stopped as the dragon's claw was nearly at the guy in the green lightning bolt suit's face.

The dragon was gone when she closed her eyes and started to fall until she was caught by Logan. The guy in the green suit said with relief, "Okay now that was close." I growled in my werewolf form as I got in his face, "Yeah, you don't know how close. You would've be in Genosha by now and wiped out more than half the island." Cody growled and said seriously, "We're taking it from here. Got a problem with that?"

The guy looked away and said in defeat, "No." Hank and Iceman picked up the white haired man and I saw this Rouge my sis talked about and she looked at with a smile as I walked away from her. Cody growled at her and Walked with me as Logan carried my sister to the jet as the rest of the team head back to the jet.

Some of the team went to drop off the white haired guy but Logan stayed with my sister and knowing her, she was gonna stay with him. Kitty asked with a smile as she sat down, "Can I sit?" I said with a smile as I leaned on the sofa, "Yeah." Kitty asked worried as she rested on my chest, "Do you think that Emily will be okay?" I said with honesty as I wrapped my arm around her waist, "As long as Logan keeps her happy and give her support. I think she will."

(Emily's POV)

I woke up and found myself with Logan in my bed snoring as I said with a smile, "Thanks Logan." I then yawned and went back to sleep hopefully I only had good dreams instead of bittersweet dreams.
the title speaks itself :)
