When Worlds Collide

Chapter 21

I saw it with my very own eyes as my own life, my own place where I grew up was torn down in front of me. I watched in horror as the bomb exploded and destroyed the training area. This happened only a day ago. I watched as my team went over to hug the students who where all gathered in the living room. Most of them where crying over there friends that had gotten hurt in the explosion. 1 dead. (We never found his body). 6 wounded. 2 only bruises. I to had gone to my room as soon as we got back. I wanted to scream at Erik for what he has done, but he will be locked away soon, along with Fang. Max had screamed for half an hour at him for what he had done. She told him about Gazzy. How Angel doesn't want to see him anymore because he was the one that killed her brother. Even that young she knew what it was like to lose someone close to you. I had experienced it so much that it had become nothing to me anymore. The days continued and by the 4th day things where almost back to normal...almost. Today is the day that Erik and Fang get shipped of to a "top secret CIA base". Only I know the location, besides the people transporting them there and a couple high level CIA agents. One if those Agents is Agent Mctagger. She doesn't remember me much because I wiped her memory, but that doesn't matter anymore. That was my past. Well actually 3 years ago. So anyways here I sit next to the jet that the prisoners will take off in. Max has come to join me along with Iggy, a crying Nudge, and a shaken up Angel. Se hasn't been the same since.

I watch as they take the traitor(that's my new nickname for him now), he walks in front of me and I don't think, I just act. I walk right up to him and say "This is for my brother! Then I punch him in the face not once but 3 times. 'Your a traitor!" Yes there has been a lot of punching lately. There is a whole list of people who have punched him in the past 4 days. I won't tell you who now, but maybe later. After I punched him and said that, nobody stopped me from doing it and no one held me back afterwards so I just walked out and back into the school. I had afternoon classes and I wasn't going to miss the one that starts in 3 minutes. My special telepathy class with the professor!

Angel came to class right on time. She is never late. I told her she didn't have to come today,but she loves these classes a lot so I didn't cancel. I wheel over to her and give her a hug. She is 6 and soon to be 7 in a week. She has been through a lot this week. "Angel. Good to see you. I was thinking we could start with some of the levitation practices Jean taught you. Would that be ok?" I asked. "Yeah. I got that book to levitate, it only moved and inch..." she said. "That's good though! Why don't you try again?" I said. "Ok." She said. Then she looked at the book and it went up in the air. I was hoping because she hasn't been able to practice in a week that maybe it would have made her telepathic powers build up and maybe, just maybe the book would do what she wanted it to do. Sure enough the book levitated up and then Angel tried moving it to different sides

of the room. It did as she wanted it to do. I said "Good job Angel. Now we can go into something else."

Now it was time for Gazzy's funeral. When I wheeled over to talk about my time with Gazzy I told them about how Gazzy loved making things explode, how he was kind, and how his name fit his powers so well. "Today we give tribute to a boy who should have lived a long and loved life. Sadly he only got 11. He will never be forgotten." Then I wheeled over next to the grave where Max stood putting flowers on Gazzy's grave. Max didn't cry she just stood there staring at the grave. I watched as she slowly walked away. I remember when I first met her and she hated me. Now she thinks of me and the other X-men as the family she couldn't and didn't have as a kid. I was about to wheel back into the school when I sensed something or someone to be exact. I sensed 2 people though, but one very faint. I turned around and there not five feet away was Jeb Bashedler (Max had told me about him after the time she had gotten taken away back to the labs). In his arms he was holding a unconscious Gazzy.
