A few years from now. Civilization the way we know it is gone. Not by a Legacy virus, not by a war, but by something else. Nobody knows what it was. Maybe aliens, or maybe even God. The two factions, humans and mutants, had been preparing for war. However, right before the first battle commenced, IT happened. Those who saw it do not live to tell anymore...now, a few months later, the future looks promising. Humans and mutants will have to cooperate on this. But will they? Will this be the start of a new era, or just the end of the last one?
Wisdom ran walked out of a house and shook his head. All dead, just like the last. He had been searching for a couple of weeks now, but there still were no survivors. But there had to be. He had no idea why he survived, but there had to be others...

"Come on Iada I sense someone nearby," Amelia said picking her way through the rubble and bodies, "I mean someone has to be alive, or maybe hurt, and they might need you to heal them. Damnit where did you go!"
"BAMF!" Iada appaeared nearby grinning, "Hey guess what there's someone like the next block over. Some guy," she said licking her lips and disappear and reappearing, "And before you ask it isn't."
"Great, come on we better see if he needs help or anything," Amelia sighed.

Jasmine walked through the streets looking from side to side. She passed on old orphange and entered. The sight made her want to puke. Dead children lay every where. She walked through the halls trying to find someone alive. She passed a room with the door partway open and heard a voice. She went in and saw someone holding a child rocking him back and forth.
Pain looked up as he heard someone come in. "Hi Twi suprised to see me here?" The child began to whimper. Pain stood u form the bed and turned to Jasmine. "I was deciding what to do. You know I don't like kids."
Jasmine sighed and walked over to Pain. She held onto him and the child and disappeared. They appeared in the street next to Wisdom. Jasmine took the child from Pain and held him close. She realized that the child wasn't breathing anymore. She shook her head and set the child down. She covered him with a nearby blanket.

Wisdom noticed two people walking towards them. He was just about to ask if they were ok, when two others appeared near him. He was glad he had found others, but this was a litle too much at one time. He immediatly crouched near the child. "Is he (or she) alive? He asked the woman.

Jasmine shook her head. "I don't know, he's stopped breathing, or at least he is getting weaker." She put her hand on the boy's forehead. "He's burning up. I don't know what to do." She glanced up at Pain. "What were you doing in there?"
Pain avoided her glance. He shook his head and looked aorund at the destruction. "What the hell happened here?"

"Iada, quit playing around and come down here," Amelia said touching her temple and the blue girl was instantly beside the young child.
Iada had been on a rooftop trying to catch a few birds, but as Amelia's words touched her mind she instantly ported down to the child, "Well let's see, it's not what brough everyone down, I can tell you that, a case of strep throat that's out of hand," she said cracking her knuckles and began to glow silver as she fed life energy into the child.

Wisdom nodded and answered Pain's question. "Well, I don't know. I doubt anyone knows." He had been trying to find out for a while, but had then decided that he sould go search for other survivors. But he was sure he would find the answer one day. He turned around the other two. "So, are you two okay?" He asked.

Jasmine watched as the child began to move. He started to cry. She crouched next to him. "It's all right honey, it's gonna be okay." She looked at the girl who was healing him. "Thanks, but what shoud we do know. If there are others we can't take him with us." The child was crying still. Grabbing Pain's arm she pulled him down next ot her. "He probably is scared. Can you pull out his fears?"
"I don't know, I coud try. Pain placed his hand on the boy and began to draw his fears out, into himself. The boy stopped crying and relaxed some.

"You mean being survivors of one of the most horrific plagues of all time, better refered as the Apocalypse. Or better view of the works of Stephen King, then yeah we're just flippin dandy!" Amelia growled as a car nearby was picked up and thrown down the street.
"Amelia calm down, you're starting to throw stuff with your mind again," Iada said calmly as she used her powers to purge the sickness from the child's body.

Jasmine tensed up as the car was thrown. Pain reached out and held onto her arm. She placed her hand on his. "It's alright Zakk."
"No one calls me that Twi, you know that" Pain knew why Jasmine had tensed up. It was one of the few memories who would never use.

Amelia bit her lip and closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "We should stick together in any case, who knows who or whats out there waiting for lonely travelers to come there way," she said opening her dark purple eyes.
"You'll have to forgive Amelia, her powers often out grow her control and things get picked up and thrown," Iada said finishing pulling the rest of the sickness and pulling away from the child panting, "There he should be fine," she gasped.

Pain looked down at the kid. "What should we do with him." He had been walking around looking for somewhere to gain some energy. He had heard the boy crying and was goind to absorb his energy but couldn't bring himself to hurt a child

"Don't ask us, I mean we were even allowed to babysit," Iada said standing up and strugging, "Though we did catch fire to the apartment, that might have been why."

Jasmine looked at Iada with one raised eyebrow. "You set the apartment on fire?" She shook her head and looked back at the boy. "Well, I don't no either. I really cared for kids. Maybe because I was never around them."

wisdom decided that he should say something. "Well, the Brotherhood is still doing fine. The building, not the organization, I mean." He immediately added. He might once have been a member of the Brotherhood, but that was done now. Everyone would have to stay together if they wanted to survive now.

"I haven't been there in years." Pain had left the Brotherhood to start his own organization which hadn't worked out. "But the builing is sturdy. It could be the only safe place left.
Jasmine glanced at Pain. She remeberd the fiasco with his group. "They're right, we could set up a a safehouse."

Wisdom looked at Iada and Amelia. "What do you think?" He asked. "I doubt there will be enough survivors to call it a safehouse, but you get the idea.

Jasmine stood up and grabbed Pain's arm. She pulled him a couple of feet away. "Zakk, what is wrong with you? You were never this helpful before."
"Do you think it is wrong for me to change my outlook on life in the wake of a tragedy?" He put his hands on Jasmine's shoulder and looked her straight in the eyes. "Don't worry about me Twi I can handle this." He gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and walked back over to the others

"Well actually we're in the middle of looking for surviors," Iada said glancing at Amelia who was shifting her weight wanting to get going, "So how bout this you guys go ahead and set up the safehouse and we'll keep looking. I doubt a porter and a telepathic will miss anyone."

Wisdom nodded. "Okay." Then he shrugged. "But I doubt you'll find any. Best case scenarion is that there are ten to twelve othe mutants alive." Nevertheless, he lead Pain and Jasmine to the Brotherhood mansion, trying not to think about the worst case scenario. Which meant that whatever did this, would come back and finish them off.
