"Oh, God. Lorna!" Ghost Jean cried out as she watched her friend drift toward the boundary between light and darkness, the blue and the eternal black. Unable to use her powers, Ghost Jean turned to her younger self. "Quick! Use your TK. Bring her back in before it's too late!" But while Ghost Jean h...

"Good job, kiddo. It's working." Ghost Jean stood beside herself as the young teen focused her telepathy upon the former Hellion. "Just keep Empath thinking that he's controlling events long enough to allow the others to defeat Krakoa." Drooling, Manuel reclined and curled up into a fetal position. ...

At one moment, she enjoyed the bliss of the White Hot Room. In the next, she was... somewhere else and staring into the eyes of... a younger... "Rachel?" Jean Grey asked. "Um, no. This is awkward." Teen Jean looked through the ghost of her future self. "I'm not sure how to explain this..." But then ...

Haven't played in forever, but how can I resist this option? Dead Jean and Young Jean.

Sorry I missed sign-ups! Thanks for the invite. I look forward to reading this game.

"NO!" Julia cried out as the ghostly swords ripped at her flesh. Then, only then, as her physical form died, her mental powers took hold. She saw the future for the last time: Fanboy and the killer laughing at her death, and the inevitable, even more grisly death of Amanda Sefton. Julia saw her daug...

You are off my christmas card list! (I'll post shortly).

Hmm. Did History of Paper just PK me?

Julia didn't need telepathy to sense the growing suspicion. However, when the worst Jean Grey substitute of all time challenged her abilities, Julia didn't remain silent. "The future is uncertain - we still have a chance to affect the outcome, but that change is too probabilistic to allow me to acce...

Thanks to her time with Freedom Force, Julia Carpenter was well-acquainted with the government's low standards for selecting superhumans for service, but the Avengers had been really scraping the bottom of the barrel with this new 'Hawkeye.' "We need to stop fighting each other if we want to survive...

Julia ignored Theresa's hopeful look. Instead, she found herself strangely attracted to the symbiote-creature snaking its way around the future Spider-man's body. Julia stepped toward the beast, which showed an immediate interest in Julia even as its human host remained in Siryn's thrall. Quickly, a...

Julia Carpenter sifted her way through the other heroes. "An ending... I remembered an ending beginning, but I did not foresee this. How could I not?" The last thing she remembered was calling 911. Her coma had been imminent. She'd known that she would eventually awaken, but her future beyond that c...

[QUOTE=UXN] [QUOTE=Savant]So, you basicly opened up a thread to bitch about people who date with age differences?   If they're not illegal, it's no one's business, and it's frankly pretty childish to judge. Everyone has been in a relationship that someone else could find gross.   Why don't we open...

There was no question in Rachel's mind. In her own alternative future, Rachel's mom had contained the power of the phoenix. She didn't need to die. This Jean didn't need to die either. Rachel felt the impressions of those around her, relieved that most agreed with her perspective. She turned to rega...

Rachel couldn't believe it, her not-mother was dead. Yes, teen Jean had been an insufferable alternative version unable to measure up to either Rachel's true (sadly dead) mother or her alternative belonging to this timeline (also dead) mother. But she didn't deserve to get exploded in a time-traveli...

"Stop! We don't have time for this!" Rachel growled. She sent a TK blast forward, knocking Pixie away from the bus before she could instigate a confrontation. "None of you know the horror of a concentration camp but I do. This isn't a debate. This is Hitler we're talking about. Sometimes X-men kill,...

I enjoyed this issue. Happy to see Nightcrawler back. I'm a bit surprised by the comments about the Storm/Wolverine exchange. Two of my best friends are (female) high school teachers. Both intentionally dress frumpy to maintain authority over their students. Both have shared stories about how, once ...

Left in London, Rachel retreated into the recesses of her own mind. Jack the Ripper was a real monster who preyed upon the helpless. A murderer who would kill again if allowed to live. Rachel remembered a similar moment in time. Soon after joining the X-men, Rachel had encountered the psychic vampir...

Rachel ignored the debate to focus upon her 'mother.' The action provoked an uncharacteristic feeling for Rachel: disappointment. Jean Grey had been a hero, a leader and a teacher. She had been beloved by all the X-men and even death could not stop her love. But this little Jean was unrecognizable. ...

"Quentin's right, we should leave before your damage to history is irreversible." Rachel floated to her teen mother's side. "Come on..." Rachel helped the shaken teen stand while struggling for the correct word. Jean? Mom? What does one call your bratty alternative mother from another timeline? Rach...
