MindStrike (X-men)

We made it to see debris flying everywhere.

"Seventh wonder, 12 o'clock." Hank said softly.

"He has the Professor in the center of the pyramid. He's going to transfer his consciousness into the Professor. If he does that, he'll have the power to control every mind in the world." Jean said softly.

"What the hell is that?" Moira asked softly.

"It's Erik. You guys help Nightcrawler get into the pyramid. Get Charles. I'll take care of Erik." Raven said softly.

"How are you going to get through that?" Hank asked softly.

"I can get you in there. I came here for him. Let me help you." Peter said softly.

"The rest of you, get Charles on this plane and get him out of here." Raven said softly.

"We're not leaving without you!" Kurt exclaimed.

"Don't worry. We'll catch up." Peter said with a smile.

"You better, I swear to god if you die-"

"I won't." Peter said softly.

"Hold on." Raven said softly.

"Hank, you go with the kids. Moira will be waiting on the plane." Raven said as we landed and climbed off the plane.

"Wait." Scott said quickly.

"What?" Raven asked calmly.

"Not all of us can fully control our powers."

"Then, don't. You need to embrace them. We all do." Raven said as she looked at Hank.

Peter sped off with her and I let out a sigh.

"You still love him, don't you?" Hank asked softly.

"I don't think I'll even not love him." I said as I walked away.

We soon got dad and I rushed to his side and put his head in my lap. I heard a scream and I went to jump up but dad grabbed my hand and stopped me.

"That was Peter... I have to help him." I said as I tore my arm away.

"Raven." He said softly.

"The great hero." Apocalypse said.

I looked out to see him holding her by her throat while Peter was on the ground.

""I'm going out there." Hank said angrily.

"I'm going with you." Me and Scott said together.

"No. It's me he wants." Dad said softly.

"Charles, you can't give yourself up. If he has you, he has us all. The whole world." Moira said softly.

"You are feeble. Just like the others. Charles! Come! Rescue your weakling! Give your life, for their's!" Apocalypse yelled.

"No. He was right. There is still some part of me connected to him." He said softly.

"Charles!"

"I can get inside his head." Dad said softly.

"Will you do nothing?" He asked calmly.

I ran out and rushed to Peter's side after I saw Apocalypse drop Raven and Hank grab her.

"What are you doing?" Peter asked as I helped him limp away.

"Not letting you die." I said softly.

I laid him against the wall beside Raven and turned to help, but he grabbed my arm.

"Don't go." He said softly.

I quickly pulled away and using my powers to throw things at Apocalypse. I concentrated on breaking his shield and felt my head start to spin as he fought back. Soon Jean came out and I saw a bright light come from her and Apocalypse was stopped. I let out a groan as I hit the ground. It wasn't long before we fixed the school and all of us where treated for our injuries.

"How is Peter?" I asked as I bit my lip.

"Broke leg... be on crutches for a week." Hank said softly.

"Heard Raven was staying."

"Yea..... You should speak to him.... I know Peter loves you.... you should of seen his face when he saw you passed out in my arms... never seen someone so scared." Hank said as he walked away.

I let out a sigh as I walked through the school and made it to Peter's room. I gently knocked on the door and waited for him to say come in.

"Come in!" He yelled.

I gently opened the door to see Peter sitting on his bed with a magazine.

"Hi." I said as he looked up at me.

"Hey, how are you feeling? You took a bad fall." He said as he set up.

"I should be asking you that..... um..... I heard you where joining the X-men." I said softly.

"Yea, the Professor invited me." He said softly.

"I didn't mean what I said... about.... us going separate ways.... I was just.... scared.... and I know I say that every time I push you away... and it isn't far to you-"

"Shut up." He said as he stood up and limped over to me.

"You shouldn't-"

"Shut up." He said cutting me off again.

I nodded my head and he sent me a smile.

"We met in in the year 1971, I was wearing a grey shirt and black pants..... you had on a light blue shirt with leggings..... you hair was up in a bun.... you looked like you where scared to death.... Mrs. Turner had you sit beside me..... I didn't realize I loved you until I heard your voice and saw your smile..... I didn't realize I couldn't live without you until you told me about your past."

"Why are you telling me this?" I asked softly.

"Because I need you to know why I haven't proposed yet."

"Peter-"

"No..... I love you.... have for awhile..... I wanted to marry you, I really did, but I wanted to do something with my life first.... I wanted people to say, hey she married him because he did something with his life..... not that you married me because you felt sorry for me." He said softly.

He let out a sigh and limped to his coat.

"I bought this five years ago." He said as he handed the small box to me.

I opened it and felt tears stream down my face as I saw a diamond ring.

"I'm not scared anymore...... I want to be with you.... so what do you say? Want to be my girl?" He asked with a smile.

I slipped the ring on and jumped into his arms and smashed my lips against his. He let out a sigh of relief as he pulled me closer.

"I love you." I whispered.

"I love you more than Twinkies." He whispered against my lips.

"I still don't love you more then pizza." I whispered.

He let out a laugh and I pulled him into another kiss.
