X-Sync -- Chapter 1-15 Now We Are A Family...or are we? by JT Poole

// Orlando, FL -- Chris Kirkpatrick's House //

"What the hell was that thing that tried to grab my arm?" Echo asked.

"It looked like a demon." Justin stated as he cringed closer to Joey, moving away from JT.

"It probably was a demon of some kind." JT stated as his body stopped glowing and everyone appeared in Chris Kirkpatrick's back yard.

"Wow, we landed in Chris' backyard, a couple of inches over and we would have fell into the pool." Joey stated.

"Professor, Bobby, we are here." JT called out as Bobby and a short guy with bad hair walked out of the house.

"Welcome to my home. You must be JT." The strange guy stated.

"I am. Who are you?" JT asked extending his hand to shake the guy's hand.

"I am Chris Kirkpatrick and that guy is Lance Bass." He stated.

"Okay. Nice to meet you." JT stated as he floated over to Lance and shook his hand too, scaring the pale man a little bit.

"Hi, nice to meet you too JT." Lance stuttered out.

"Come on baby, don't scare Lance and Chris." Justin stated.

"Baby?" Lance and Chris both asked in unison.

"Justin did these guys know you were gay?" JT asked.

"Well no. I didn't get around to telling them." Justin stated.

"You're gay?" Lance asked. "You are gay too?"

"Yes I am gay, and JT's my boyfriend. Of course he's gay." Justin stated.

"Well I can say you guys have been busy since we went on hiatus." Lance stated.

"Joey where is Briana?" Chris asked.

"She's with mom right now." Joey stated as he dropped his head and walked away from the group.

"What did I say?" Chris asked.

"Don't worry about that now. We will tell you later." JC stated.

"So what's the first thing we have to do?" Lance asked. "Mr. Xavier says that you are going to put us through training so that we can learn how to use our powers."

"Yes I am, but we also need to know what your powers are. Do any of you have experience using your powers at all?" JT asked.

"I do. We had a small display just a minute ago." Chris stated.

"Cool, well you can show me first Chris." JT stated as he stepped out of Chris' way.

"Okay here goes nothing." Chris stated as a strange energy surrounded his body and he started to change into something else.

"What the hell!" Joey screamed as he walked back over to the guys. It's a wildcat! Kill it, kill it!"

`Joey don't tell them to kill me.' Chris spoke telepathically to Joey.

"Chris did you just speak to me in my head?" Joey asked.

Yes I am speaking to you Fat-one.' Chris spoke telepathically again. I can't speak with my voice when I am in cat mode, so I can project my voice into the minds of other people around me.

"Cool man, so you can change into a cat?" Joey asked, as the energy surrounded Chris again and he changed back to himself.

"Yes I can change into a wildcat, and a mixed hybrid of a wildcat human." Chris stated.

"That's way out there cool man and you have telepathic powers like JC and JT." Joey stated.

"Not exactly. I can't hear what you guys are saying in your mind. I can only project my voice into your head, I can't read your minds or anything like that, and it only works this one way for me." Chris stated.

"Oh okay. Too many psychics around now anyway." Justin stated. "Don't need too many of them around reading our private thoughts."

"Who's reading your personal thoughts Justin?" JT asked.

"No one that I know of at the moment, but I believe your thoughts are never safe around a psychic." Justin stated.

"So are you saying your thoughts are not safe around me?" JT asked. "I just don't go gallivanting through the minds of people I am with!"

"Baby calm down. I was only joking." Justin stated.

"Whatever." JT stated as he faded away.

"What was that all about?" Justin asked.

"He doesn't like to be accused of stuff like that. It's a long story." Bobby stated.

"Well tell it, I would like to know why he almost bit my head off." Justin stated.

"Well to start, JT is older than he looks. In his time, he has lived 4 lifetimes, compared to the one we are living." Professor X stated.

"What do you mean by that Professor?" Lance asked.

"JT has died and lived many times in the past and the future." Professor X stated.

"Died?" Justin asked.

"Yes died, as in his physical body has died and his mind and soul lived on." Professor X stated.

"He's been reincarnated or something?" Justin asked.

"You might say that." Bobby stated.

"Then what do we say? There is no such thing as reincarnation." Lance stated.

"Yes there is." Bobby stated. "I have seen him die twice and each time he died it almost killed me!"

`Bobby calm down. Why don't you just go chill out somewhere and let me give these guys the back-story of JT. They need to know the background of their leader.' Professor X spoke telepathically to Bobby.

"I don't want to leave Professor X, I would rather just stay here and listen." Bobby stated.

"Mr. Drake please do as I asked." Professor X stated as the men looked at the two, knowing they hadn't heard the professor say anything.

"Fine. I'll be back within a hour. That should be enough time to tell everyone." Bobby stated as he iced himself up, jumped on his ice slide, and slid away.

"Okay, let me continue." Professor X stated. "A few years back, Bobby and the other X-Men were fighting the Sentinels when we actually saw him die for the first time. His body was so brutally mangled that we couldn't identify him. If it wasn't for the costume he was wearing, we would have never known it was him."

"He was beaten that badly?" Justin asked.

"To the point that his body functions ceased and he flat-lined and we couldn 't get him back. That was the first time. The second time we saw him die was a surprise to all of us. In a future time, Phoenix and Cyclops have a child named Rachel. Rachel is born in a future time and in the time that she lives in, The X-Men are outlaws and being a mutant is considered a crime. She and other mutants were prisoners of a man/machine called Ahab. Ahab used mutants to track and hunt down other mutants and kill them. In this future, Rachel was what Ahab referred to his trackers as `Hounds' and she was one of them. She used the powers of her mind to travel back in time to help the X-Men in the past to stop the president from passing a law to threaten all mutants. When she returned to the past, she was followed by more of Ahab's Hounds, one of those Hounds was JT."

"Wait a minute. You said he died. When he died, he was here, so how did he get to the future to be one of those hound things?" Justin stated.

"We don't know. That's one of the mysteries of JT." Professor X stated. "When we met him again, he was called Mystic and he and some other mutants came to the past to take Rachel back to the future where she belonged. He fought us as though he didn't know who we were. Come to find out, his memories had been wiped of his previous life and he knew nothing of us or anyone else close to him, but one person was able to get through to him and that was Bobby. Bobby convinced him to leave Rachel alone and to leave Ahab. When it was time for JT and the other Hounds to return to the future with Rachel, JT refused to go and Ahab struck him down on the spot. He was killed by his master for disobeying orders."

"Oh my god. He was killed a second time..." Joey stated. "Why did he get upset with Justin about what he said?"

"As one of Ahab's Hounds, JT had to use his telepathic powers to hunt down and kill other mutants for Ahab and the government. That memory I see is still with him." Professor X stated.

"Okay you said that this Ahab guy killed him, so how did he get back again?" Lance asked.

"Well on to that story. When Ahab killed JT, his body disappeared. It shocked him and us as well. It seemed that Bobby took it the hardest. At that time we didn't know about his feelings for JT then, but it seemed that Bobby knew people in JT's family and he found JT's grandmother and told her about what had recently happened. A couple of days later, the X-Men were fighting Magneto in downtown Manhattan when JT appeared on the scene fighting Magneto as well. Yet another mystery, we still don't know how JT came back from the dead." Professor X explained.

"So that's twice now. How many times have you witness JT's death?" Lance asked.

"I myself, twice, but the others have seen more." Professor X stated.

"He's supposed to be our leader. What are we supposed to do if he dies again?" Lance asked.

"Death is a part of life son." Professor X stated.

"I know that, but for him it doesn't seem a permanent rest for him." Lance stated.

"Professor?" Justin called out, "Does this have anything to do with how he became a mutant?"

"I don't know. I myself don't understand the ramifications of how he became a mutant. I just have always accepted what he told us. Since I wasn't always able to detect any mutant alterations in his mind or body, I just accepted what we knew about him." Professor X stated.

// Limbo //

"So it seems the master has returned home." A voice out of nowhere stated.

"Who's there!?" JT screamed.

"How easy they forget." The voice stated, as it continued to boom around JT 's body.

"Who are you, why are you talking to me?" JT asked.

"Come now child, don't tell me you truly have forgotten me." The voice stated again. "The one that loved you and gave you power, the one that protected you from the endless darkness, the one that showed you the light after the darkness."

"I don't know you, hell I can't even see you!" JT shouted.

"Here I am." The voice stated as the person came into view, as JT started to back away.

"NO!!!!!!" JT screamed. "Not you! I killed you!"

"No you didn't. I just love the power of illusions." The man stated.

"No I killed you! My grandmother helped me kill you Mephisto, you are

dead!" JT stated.

"You can't kill me! I am evil incarnate, I will never die, I will just be reborn and reborn again and again!" the man stated. "And for your grandmother, that woman's magic would never stand up against me."

"The magic I taught you and the powers I gave you, you are not even strong enough to defeat me!" the man stated again.

"We will see about that!" JT screamed as he flew into the air and created a lightning storm and started blasting the man with bolts of lightning.

"Come now JT is that the best you can do?" the man asked.

"No! I can do this!" JT screamed as his eyes started glowing and he blasted magical energy at the man, causing the man to laugh continuously.

"I guess I still have to show you! You can't win against me!" the man stated as he blasted JT with energy of his own causing JT to fade away.

// Orlando, FL - Chris Kirkpatrick's House //

"Arghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!" JT screamed as he appeared in the middle of the air scaring everyone standing in the backyard as his body rocketed to the ground, landing in the swimming pool.

"JT!!!!" Justin screamed as he ran to the swimming pool and jumped in.

"What in the hell is going on?" Chris asked.

"He's barely alive. I am sensing the remains of a battle in his mind." Professor X stated.

"He's barely breathing professor, what are we going to do?" Justin asked.

"You will do nothing!" a strange voice stated as the man appeared above the swimming pool.

"Who the hell are you?" Chris asked.

"I am your worst nightmare!" the man stated.

"That's Mephisto, prince of darkness!" Professor X stated.

"What?" Lance asked. "The Prince of Darkness. That's the name for the devil."

"Good boy, seems I am still known." The man stated.

"Now as I just told Mr. Poole, I will tell you too. I can't be defeated, I am evil incarnate, I will never die!" the man stated.

"What did you do to him?" Justin asked.

"The same thing I am going to do to all of you. I am going to capture your souls and live happy with that." The man stated.

"I think not. Come on guys lets show the professor what we can do." Joey stated as he turned his body to flame and flew towards Mephisto.

"No Joseph don't, you are not strong enough." Professor X stated too late as Mephisto blasted him with a beam of energy and knocking him to the ground, snuffing out his flames.

"No Joey!" JC screamed as he flew up into the air and lashed out with his telekinetic energy.

"Oh please Charles, is this all you have to send at me!?!" Mephisto asked.

"Everyone stay put, don't do anything. Just let him go." Professor X stated.

"Oh come on. I came here for some fun. I already had my fun with him let me have some more. It's know fun if you guys don't attack me." Mephisto stated.

"I am not going to let these men hurt themselves just to satisfy your need for fighting Mephisto. What have you done to JT?" Professor X asked.

"I just taught him a lesson. He doesn't come into my domain and expect to win." Mephisto stated.

"What do you mean by that?" Professor X asked.

"He came to Limbo and expected to fight me and win. I had to burst his bubble though. He still hasn't learned anything in 200 years; I guess I was wrong about making him my apprentice. He's just a wimp. From this point on, he will be an ordinary wimp." Mephisto stated. "Have fun Charles, you will see me again."

"200 years?" Justin asked. "Is JT 200 years old?"

"Of course not. He's over 500." Mephisto stated as he opened a portal and left the men standing around in the backyard.

"Don't you there leave Mephisto, I am not done with you!" JT spoke as he floated up and started glowing like a small sun. "You tried to use me as your evil pawn! You tried to use me as a weapon against the world! Sorry but I am not a puppet that you can just cut the strings to. I will not be used."

JT floated there projecting a beam of pure white light at Mephisto. The beam of energy was so strong that Mephisto wasn't able to move. Mephisto started screaming as the portal closed and his body fell to the ground.

"What are you doing to me?" Mephisto asked.

"I'm doing to you what you planned on doing to me!" JT stated. "And for my grandmother, she was a very powerful goddess. Now I bet you are wondering where you went wrong with me, let me start off by saying that I was already a mutant with the powers you tried to give me. I was born a psionic and the only thing that you and your demons did to me was just released the powers my grandmother had locked away in my soul to keep me protected. That's the only thing you gave me, you gave me power that I already possessed, you just tried to corrupt me in the process!"

"Please release me, you are killing me!" Mephisto screamed in pain.

"That's what I plan on doing!" JT screamed. "You just tried to kill me for being in Limbo! I am the true and only ruler of limbo, that's my domain; you took control of it from my grandmother. She was the protector of the doorways to heaven or hell and you took that from her! When she died that was role was to pass to me, but you cast her out, blocking her access to Limbo. She knew I was the Chosen One to succeed her as ruler of Limbo and you knew that too, that's why you sent ShadowMaster after me, you knew that if he touched me, he would release my powers that she had blocked from me. All I want to know is why?"

"Because it's her fault that I am who I am!" Mephisto choked out.

"How is it her fault that you are Mephisto?" JT asked.

"I would have been the ruler of Limbo instead she had the Gods judge me as being unfit, saying that I wasn't stable enough to protect the gates." Mephisto stated.

"From what I have witness over the years you aren't fit to do anything, you are nothing but a psycho." JT stated.

"Isn't that the ironic, you calling me a psycho and you have done just about everything I have done." Mephisto stated.

"No you did those things. You controlled me to do those things. You put me in the position to do those things. I never wanted to be a hound for Ahab, I never wanted to be Dark Phoenix and I definitely didn't want to be the evil demon you made me out to be. I am a person of light, not the darkness you let into my life!" JT screamed.

"What is JT talking about now?" Justin asked.

"We will talk about that later." Professor X stated.

"I will not continue to be the person you set forth on earth. I am free!" JT screamed as he expelled energy from his body causing Mephisto to disappear and everything surrounding the guys to change.

"Something is not right here. JT what have you done?" Professor X asked.

"I put the world back to the way it was before Mephisto tampered with everything." JT stated.

"I don't like that. Why did everything around us change?" Professor X asked.

"The bad things that Mephisto caused have been erased from the face of the planet and throughout time." JT stated.

"You had the power to do all of that?" Professor X asked.

"How do you think I have escaped death so many times, I had the power to reverse time." JT stated.

"Well if you had that power, why didn't you save the people you love?" Professor X asked.

"Because I can't do that. I can only reverse the time of something, not a person." JT stated. "The best way to explain that is that I can't reverse time for a person, but I can reverse time for anything else that isn't a living thing. I hope you can understand that."

"So what did you just do, explain it to me the best you can." Professor X stated.

"For everything Mephisto had done in the past 20 years that involved me, has been undone." JT stated. "I am back to my normal self again, and yes I am 27 years old again."

"So you are really 27 years old and not over 500?" Justin asked.

"Yep I am 27. And all my demon powers are gone, all that's left is my psionic powers and my magic." JT stated.

"I thought your magic was your demon powers." Professor X stated.

"No it wasn't. I hardly ever used my demon magic. You have only seen my use that power once and that was when I took control of Magik's Darksword and used it against Saturnyne and Captain Britain." JT stated.

"Well are there any significant changes to anything outside of your world, like changes to the world?" Professor X asked.

"Well yeah. If there was something that happened because of me that Mephisto had a hand with, it has changed." JT stated. "Things are already changing as we speak. I guess we were destined to meet these guys because not much changed, Justin and the guys are still here."

"Yes I see that, but I am sensing some very odd things around us. Joshua could you sense anything strange?" Professor X asked.

"I am sensing something, but I don't know what it is. Something very evil it seems, something horrible." JC stated.

"I sense it too. It's Apocalypse." JT stated.

"Apocalypse?" Lance asked. "Do I really want to know?"

"He's this evil mutant that can travel through time and he had psionic powers like me and the professor and he can change his shape too." JT stated.

"And he's here right now." JC stated as his body collapsed to the ground.

"What's wrong with him?" JT asked.

"He astral projected out of his body. He's exploring the things around us." Professor X stated.

"Only the strongest while survive!" Apocalypse stated as he appeared before everyone.

"What's going on here, don't we get to rest at all?" Joey asked.

"Guess not. From what I am seeing, this guy isn't nice, am I correct Profess Xavier?" Chris asked.

"He's very evil. You guys must defend yourself from him and his subordinates." Professor X stated as he rolled into the house out of danger, watching what was going on through Chris' eyes.

"Okay be on your guard. Apocalypse is a psionic and he can change his shape at will. Look out for anything." JT stated as he took flight.

"Justin come on, we need to take care of this guy like we took care of the Sentinels." Joey stated.

"What about Josh?" Justin asked cradling JC's body.

"Get him in the house with the professor and come back out to help." Joey stated as Bobby came back to see what was going on.

"JT is this real? Is this one of your psychic illusions?" Bobby asked looking at Apocalypse and his Horsemen.

"This is real, this has nothing to do with an illusion." JT stated. "We have to stop him and take him down quick!"

"Only the strong will survive and what I see, none of you will survive!" Apocalypse stated as his Horsemen attacked.

"Lance watch out! Move!" JT screamed as he telekinetically lifted him and placed him in a telekinetic bubble with Chris.

"I am going to get hurt here. I don't know anything about my powers." Lance stated as he started freaking out.

"Calm down Lance. Did the professor tell you anything about what he saw within your body?" JT asked.

"No. He was only able to say that he knew I was a mutant, but I would discover what my power was soon." Lance stated as he screamed in pain.

"What's wrong?" JT asked.

"My eyes! My eyes are burning, I can' stand it, help me stop the burning!" Lance screamed out, you could hear the fear and terror in his voice.

"Let me see." JT stated as Lance looked at him and beams of green colored energy projected from his eyes, knocking JT down, causing his telekinetic bubble to fizzle and all three of them went falling to the ground.

"No! They are falling." Justin screamed as he flew in JT's direction to grab him as Joey grabbed Lance and Chris transformed into his cat hybrid form and landed on his feet.

"Cool, I guess it's true about cats always landing on their feet." Chris stated as he took off running towards the guy that was causing problems to Iceman.

"Lance are you okay? What's with your eyes?" Joey asked, carrying Lance to the ground.

"I don't know. When that girl blasted JT's field with her energy my eyes started burning and then when I opened my eyes I zapped JT with energy." Lance stated.

"Maybe you have optic blast like Cyclops does." Joey stated.

"Maybe, I don't know." Lance stated. "All I know is that I can't trust my eyes now. They can blast at any moment and I don't know how to control them."

"Well for right now I think you need to aim your eyes at the bad guys and think about whatever it was that made your eyes shoot and do that again until we have beat these guys." Joey stated.

"No Joey I can't do that. I might hurt one of you guys." Lance stated.

"No you won't, just do what I told you already." Joey stated "And everything will work out fine."

"I already hurt JT, I can't stand it if I hurt one of you guys." Lance stated as he walked towards the house, leaving Joey standing there as one of the Horsemen blasted him making him scream out in pain.

"Arrgggggghhhh!" Joey screamed as Lance turned around and saw the Horseman heading his way.

"Oh no you won't!" Lance screamed out as another beam of energy flew from his eyes nailing the girl on the mechanical horse. "You hurt my friend! You won't do that again!"

"Go Lance." Christ spoke as he ran over and grabbed Lance by the hand picking him up in his arms and running away.

"What are you doing Chris?" Lance asked.

"Getting us out of danger. I already took out one of those freaks, now we need to help JT and Justin. That guy over there that has that thing on his head has them cornered." Chris stated. "You take out the guy with the beams and I will grab JT and Justin and get them to safety."

"Okay I guess. Just give me a bit to try again." Lance stated as he and Chris reached Justin and JT and the creep that had them cornered.

"Yo dude, get away from them!" Chris yelled as he turned around and Lance zapped him. "Cool Lance."

"Is he still knocked out?" Lance asked looking at JT and Justin.

"Yeah he is. I guess you pack a punch in those eyes of yours." Justin stated as he grabbed JT and walked away from the guy lying on the ground. "I am going to try to get him in the house again. It seems every time I get close to the house, one of his goons does something to keep me from getting JT to safety."

"Well give him to me, you and Lance go help JC and Joey out." Chris stated as he picked up JT and ran him towards the house.

// Brian Littrell's House //

"What's on your mind baby?" Brian asked as he walked over to Nick sitting on the couch.

"Something's wrong. I can't put my finger on it, but something just doesn't feel right." Nick stated as he jumped up to see JC standing in front of him and Brian.

"I see him too." Brian stated.

`I am sorry for just barging in like this, but we need your help. It seems a powerful mutant named Apocalypse is trying to kill us.' JC's spoke telepathically.

"Where are you guys?" Brian asked.

At Chris' house, that's where JT teleported us to.' JC stated telepathically. We need all the help we can get since JT is out for the count, We have taken out some of his henchmen, but the more we take down, the more he throws at us.'

"We are on our way." Brian stated as his hands started glowing and he magnetically pulled his and Echo's uniforms out from their secret hiding place. As the two of them got dressed, JC's astral image disappeared.

// Chris Kirkpatrick's House //

`I got us some help coming. Brian and Nick are coming. I also see that some of your neighbors have called the police. I bet this will be on the news tonight, we will be exposed.' JC stated telepathically speaking to Chris.

"Great just great. Now we have to deal with the neighbors and the police. I thought the professor was doing what he could to block out the perceptions of everyone around here?" Chris asked.

"He was, but he can't block out everyone's mind." JC stated as he walked out of the house.

"Now you get physical." Chris stated as Lance, Joey and Justin approached.

"Those goons are kicking our asses, we need help!" Justin stated.

"Brian and Nick are on the way. Hopefully the can give us the upper hand we need." JC stated. "I am getting very tired. I don't know how long I can keep all of this up."

"I am with you on that." I am getting tired and quickly." Joey stated as a ball of energy landed at their feet causing an explosion that threw them across Chris' backyard.

"What's going on?! Professor, oh my god. What happened to me?" JT asked as he awoke to the sound of the explosion outside. "Apocalypse is still here, it wasn't a dream."

"No it isn't a dream at all. Your team is getting their asses handed to them on a platter." Professor X stated as JT faded out and joined the battle in progress.

"Look there's JT. What's he doing up there?" Justin asked as he saw JT appear above the ship that Apocalypse arrived in. "Oh no. I hope he's not going to do something drastic again and collapse."

"I hope not too." Joey stated. "Get up there and stop him. We don't need him collapsing again. He's supposed to be our leader."

"Yeah okay." Justin stated, flying towards JT as he ran into a barrier of some kind. "JT! What's with the field?"

"I know what you came up here to do and I am not going to let you stop me. Now stand back." JT stated as uniform changed and his eyes started glowing. "Now Apocalypse, you and your minions will now go."

"I don't like the way this is going. What happened to your clothes JT?" Justin asked.

"Don't worry about that now. Let me finish what I am doing." JT stated.

"I can't. I think you are endangering yourself and that might cause hurt to yourself and possibly me." Justin stated.

"How could I possibly hurt you?" JT asked.

"If something happens to you, it will hurt me. I don't want you hurting yourself." Justin stated. "I know we haven't known each other long, but I think I love you and I don't want you dying before we both find out."

"I...I don't know what to say." JT stated starring at Justin.

"Drop the field and let me near you." Justin stated.

"I...Justin...I...oh hell." JT stated as he dropped his force field and Justin flew towards him.

When Justin reached JT, he grabbed him and started kissing him with passion. The two of them floated in mid-air kissing as JC, Joey, Bobby, Chris, Lance and Brian and Nick (as they just appeared) watched them. The kiss continued until JT started glowing and a strange light lifted all of the X-Sync members and placed them strategically in a circle around him and Justin.

"What's going on you two?" Joey asked.

"We are going to use our powers and send Apocalypse packing." JT stated.

"Wow that was some kiss." Justin stated.

"You telling me." JT stated as he pecked Justin on the cheek quickly.

"How are we going to send Apocalypse packing?" JC asked.

"Where are Brian and Nick?" JT asked.

"Still down there." Joey pointed.

"Oh, no problem." JT stated as he snapped his fingers and Nick and Brian appeared in his bubble alongside the other members of X-Sync. "Hi. Glad you are here to help us."

"Anytime man." Brian stated. "What are we doing up here if you don't mind me asking?"

"We are going to pool are powers together and send Apocalypse back to where he came from." JT stated.

"How are we going to do that?" Nick asked.

"I found out what Lance's power was." JT stated. "He can channel energy through his body, so I figured we could power Lance up with our powers and let him fire a big enough energy beam at Apocalypse and send him and his goon squad away.

"Is that going to work?" Lance asked.

"It should. I noticed that when Famine blasted me with her energy bolt your body glowed for a moment then you zapped me with that energy beam from your eyes. Then I saw the same thing in Chris' mind when War had me and Justin cornered. So I put two and two together to find out what your power was." JT explained.

"How are we going to do this?" Justin asked. "Chris has no energy powers and my powers explode on contact with something. How is this going to

work?"

"Well first of all, I am going to position Lance at an angle so that when he has absorbed all of the energy he can direct at Apocalypse and the ship. Second, I am going to touch all of you and duplicate your powers and project them all at Lance, who in return will channel that energy and project it at Apocalypse." JT explained.

"I hope that works." Lance stated.

"Well I hope it does too Channel." JT stated as everyone turned around and looked at him funny. "That's Lance's codename."

"That sounds cool to me." Lance stated. "Let's do this."

JT floated to each person and touched him, duplicating and absorbing a little bit of their power as he went. When he was done, he floated towards Lance and touched him. Now that he absorbed everyone's powers, JT flew up higher than the guys and created a giant sphere of energy that he threw at Lance. The energy hurled at Lance and once it had hit him he screamed as though he was in pain, but it didn't last long and his body started glowing and then a beam of energy projected from his eyes and Apocalypse and his goons all were forced into a portal that JT opened as the beam of energy from Lance projected had hit them.

// 2 Hours Later //

"How about you two becoming members of X-Sync?" JT asked as he sat down besides Brian and Nick.

"Well I don't know. What do we get out of the deal?" Nick laughed.

"You get to help fight evil and have friends that know your secrets and you can trust those friends with those secrets." JT stated.

"Yeah alright cool. It would be nice to be able to talk freely about all of this without having people stare at us." Brian stated.

"Does the other BSB members know about you two?" Joey asked.

"Kevin knows about us being married and about being mutants, but the other's don't know about our powers, just our marriage.

"Well do you guys plan on telling them?" JT asked.

"Well no we hadn't. I don't think we need to freak them out anymore." Nick stated. "Kev was the only one of the guys that was cool with us getting married."

"So what are you guys going to do if you are needed for a mission or an evil mutant attacks you guys while you are on

"We will have to think of something when that time comes." Brian stated. "But right now we are going to enjoy our time together and hang out with you guys."

"Well that sounds cool. Welcome to X-Sync." JT stated.

// The Next Day //

"For the first order of business, we need to find a good place to have our headquarters. Any ideas?" JT asked.

"Well how about that abandoned place you teleported us too when you got lost." Justin stated.

"Well that would be a nice place to put an underground base and a multi-roomed house." JT stated. "I will tell the professor about it. They we he does things we should have our base in a within a week. If the X-Men help, we should have it before the end of this week."

"Cool. So who would be staying in this house?" Brian asked.

"Well I will leave there permanently since my house was destroyed by the Sentinels, but whoever in the group wants to reside their can." JT stated.

"There will be a room for all of you." JT stated.

"Cool, what if we don't want to stay at headquarters?" Joey asked.

"You don't have to if you don't want to. Just know that you will have a room here. The place will be just a regular house, nothing fancy." JT stated as a phone rang in the house.

"Hello?" Chris asked, picking up the phone. "Hold on. Joe it's your mother, she says there's something wrong with Briana. You need to get to New York to see what's going on."

"No! My baby! What's wrong with my baby?" Joey screamed running over to the phone...
