Jean spoke in Scott's head, asking for him to bring down a bed for the baby, but he thought back to her, :Not yet, Jean, I'll be there in a bit.:

"Let's face it. I'll never have a family. I'll never have anybody but me, myself, and I. It only stands to reason. God's punishing me for not being born naturally like everybody else. The sooner all of us face that, the easier it'll be."

Scott grabbed the boy's arm as he left the gaezbo, allowing himself to be pulled down the stairs with him. He forcibly turned Nate and said, sternly, "Listen to me because I am not going to say this twice, Nate. I know exactly what you are feeling. My parents are long gone, the Professor... my brother is in the hands of the Brotherhood but it really doesn't matter because I haven't seen him since he was a child so who knows if he even remembers me. Everyone I love is hurt or lost to me, Nate, and I am expected to hold it together, to be the upstanding role model of this school."

He held up his bandaged hand, "I punched a hole in the garage wall when I found out about Alex, and do you know what I did when I calmed down? I went out and patched it. Why? Because we are allowed our emotions, we are allowed our angers and our depressions and our unhappinesses only if we are going to take responsibility for what we do with them. You want to pout and hate Jean for feeling afraid and turning her affection on that little girl because it is safe and 'normal,' then you feel free to do it. But realize that you are going to have deal with what comes next. The further you pull away, the further she is going to pull away until you are both so far apart that you are never going to get in sight of one another again."

He let Nate go, and he said, gently, "Nate, you're my son, and no matter how it got there, you are half me. I don't envy that, Kiddo. I'm not anyone's idea of what a man should be, much less a father. But if you let me, I'm going to do my damnedest to make things right, for you, with you and because of you. It's all I can do. Jean... she's going to have to learn to understand what's happened here and what this all means in her own time, and acting... well, acting like a Summers sure as hell isn't the way to do it."

He sees Nate was stifling tears, and Scott Summers, who was not a man prone to tenderness, wrapped his arms around the boy and said, softly, "Being strong doesn't mean you don't cry, Nate. It means you cry for the right reasons."

Hey all, here's an update of how this is going to go.

Where we stand

Scott Summers is captured, and is being tortured by Mystique. He is going to die if he isn't rescued, that's the long and short of it. They want no information from him, know they can't turn him to their way of thinking. He is being tortured for the pure sake of his status as the flagbearer of Xavier's dream.

The X-Men think he is dead, or at the very least is missing, presumed lost. They believe Havok brought the FOH headquarters down on his head, but since there was no body in the rubble there is a slim hope.

Alex Summers believes his brother is being deprogammed from his "brainwashing" from Xavier. He has no idea that Scott is being tortured and is waiting at the Brotherhood HQ for word that he is alright and they can be a family again.


Where we need to go

Alex will be goaded by Lorna to go and see what is happening with Scott, after he reveals that Scott is not dead. He will not reveal, however, where Scott is being held, leaving it to seem that Scott is in the Brohood HQ.

Scott is being tortured.

With the Brohood HQ emptied, Jean will only find Longshot there and set up the plot we discussed for him later. (It's mostly a secret still, but it will be fun, guys!)

Scott is still being tortured.

Meanwhile, Alex will arrive and see Scott being tortured and attempt to save him. He'll fail, and Nox and Mystique will drug and imprison him. He'll escape and call Lorna (or manage to make his way to the institute)

Scott's torture continues

The X-Men gather and Alex will tell them where his brother is. Mina will mobilize the team and they'll all go together to fight the Brotherhood, hopefully rescuing Scott before it is too late.

Everyone lives happily ever after (except for Longshot, but he'll be back -^ )

What we need from you

An updated list of X-Men who want to help, and Brotherhood who want to fight. So if you are interested in this still, let's go! Save me! Mystique is MEAN!

Admin's Note: Keep in mind that we're probably going to have to limit the number of X-men that are going to be involved so things will move more quickly. It will mostly be Senior/established members of the X-men team, and maybe a few junior members that have shown extraordinary ability in previous threads. So get in while the gettin's good!

**note: This is a very skeletal outline. If you want to expand on any of it, as long as the thread moves quickly, go for it. We don't want this to last the whole month like the original battle did. No need for this to be quite so epic :) **

Count me in, on several counts.

Roy's there. He's part of the squad, and with Cyclops being captured, will be a necessary part of the crew.

Stretch showed a bit of his worth during the FOH assault the last go, so he's likely to tag around ... and absorb a lot of punishment for the sake of harmony.

And Nox? Well, he's GOT to be there. Mr. Tall, Dark and Creepy's up top, keeping himself posted as a sneaky, sneaky sniper. Fun ensues.

In the immortal words of Jamiroqui, let's dance.

The time has come to finally liberate Scott from the sinister clutches of Mystique.

In Shelter From the Storm, Warren received a call from Lorna, which originated in Frantic Failings, telling him where Scott is being kept. As he readies the Blackbird for the mission, the call goes out.

The major battle of this thread was the FoH attack, this one isn’t going to be as rambling and free-roaming as that one.

Before you decide to include yourself in the thread, keep in mind that this one will move very fast and the strike team members are going to be more choreographed, not in terms of what you’ll write but where the team leader places you. The details can be ironed out when we see who is coming along.

We need to get this moving or it will roll into the time Warren is going to be gone, and Warren and Lorna are two of the major characters in this stage.

PLEASE - POST and keep this saga rolling :cheers:

Okay, to add to what Jean said, this is the thread the X-Men should be in; From the Ashes

Hi gang,

To save time, I’ll outline the game plan here.


Here is the Heroes vs. Villains scorecard:

Scott gets Mystique (Heather and Mina talked about this already)
Jean and Beast vs. Ursula (In her post, she placed her self near Scott and that’s where Jean is headed with Hank)
Havok and Polaris vs. Nox (Heather and Nick have talked about this already)
Warren and Ari vs. Jara (They’re coming after the Blackbird is landed and as of her last post, Jara is on the ground and outside.)
Orbital and Stretch vs. Vibe (Vibe’s sound waves are destructive but Stretch is indestructible… a match made in Heaven)


This is a suggestion and not written in stone; if someone objects, speak up and be heard.
