The alliance between the X Men and the Avengers

Being different is not always bad

Mary:

I'm standing on a cliff looking down The wind billows my white skirt. Annoyed, I brush it down and look into the distance. I raise my hand in irritation. Why am I wearing white silk gloves? Looking down, I realize I'm wearing a wedding dress. Pushing my hair back, I turn back to the abyss. When I hear footsteps behind me, I turn around in a flash. Charles is standing in front of me. He's wearing a suit and I see a wedding ring on his ring finger. I wear one too. I let myself be drawn into his arms and lean against his chest. His hands wander aimlessly down my back.
"Where have you been?" I ask mock offended. His hands stop and he pushes me away at arm's length. But I can see his bright smile. Shaking his head, he pulls me towards him again.
"Why did I just marry you?" he asks, amused.
"Because you're crazy?" my brother asks. He and the others appear next to us and also look into the distance.
"Stop it." Liz says and looks at me. Even though she's talking to her brother, she doesn't take her eyes off me. I look at Max. He stands behind Stephanie and hugs her from behind. A belly bulges under Step's dress. She's about to give birth and I'm going to be the first aunt! Yeah!!!
"I think you're right, Charles," says Lukas. I look at my cousin in surprise. Carol also gives the impression that she only understands the station.
"What did we miss?" I ask cautiously. Somehow I don't want to know the answer and I'm still curious. Charles looks at me.
"He said that we will be here someday and have a happy future." Luk answers my question. I turn to my husband.
"Are you serious?" I ask. I take a step backwards to get a better look. But my feet don't find solid ground and then I fall. I can hear the startled cries of my family. I get too with how Charles tries to hold me tight, but he can't.
"Marry!!" he calls. But I can't do anything. I fall and fall. Without being able to do anything, I literally fall to my death. And tear a wide abyss between me and my family....

I wake up in a sweat. It takes me a moment to realize that I was only dreaming and that I'm actually lying in my bed at boarding school. I get up as quietly as possible and sneak out of the room. The corridors stretch dark and deserted in front of me. Without having a specific goal, I set off. I just need to get some fresh air. I accidentally end up in the kitchen. I jump when I open the door.
"Marry, what are you doing here?" Dad asks. He's sitting at the dining table with Mum, Aunt Jean, Aunt Storm, Uncle Peter and Uncle Logan. They look at me in confusion. Aunt Storm gets up and goes to the fridge. Ten Minutes later she hands me a steaming cup of cocoa.
"Are you okay?" Mum asks worried. While Jean looks at me carefully. I know she's trying to read my mind, but I won't let her.
"You look like you haven't slept in weeks." Logan remarks. Dad and Peter look at him silently.
"Wow thanks. I know about that now. Thank you too!" I say. Mom gets up and hugs me.
"Another nightmare?" she asks sympathetically. Jean looks at me thoughtfully.
"When I was confused with my gift at the time, I also had nightmares all the time."
"But that's normal for me," I admit.
"And what if the professor could do something about it?" Storm asks.
"What are you thinking, cousin?" Mom asks. Storm brushes back a strand of her short black and white hair.
"I don't think anyone can help me there!" I say resignedly.
"And also if I help you?" Charles asks suddenly. He leans against the door frame and watches me.
"Charles Eric Lehnsherr!" I curse. But he doesn't even bat an eyelid.
"Don't call me Eric! I'm not like... like Mangneto!" he says, slightly strained. Although his posture is relaxed.
"I didn't give you a name." I just say. I watch irritated as he comes up to me and takes my full cup from my hand. Before I can take it away from him, he sits at the table too.
"Very funny. First you take my cup and then you teleport away." I say angrily. He just looks at me with a grin.
"Just say you have trouble with that!" Charles replies. "You kind of remind me of Jan!" Out of the corner of my eye I see Mom flinch and Dad clench his teeth.
"Not funny," I say. I unconsciously play around with my pendant. I feel my eyes getting wet and I make myself get away.
