Time: 9:47 P.M.
Jon walked, ran, teleported, crawled, jumped, even skipped through the forest. He was just thinking over his life, wishing that one point in it he would've bought headphones. He had no idea what he should do. Christine was going through a very strange phase, turning really powerful. It was getting harder and harder for him to teleport cross-country to his house and the mansion. The only really good thing that had happened lately was that he learned his parents were not racist against mutants. That was a very good thing, though. He wondered if he should be going back home. He couldn't stay here forever, but, what the heck, his parents thought he was asleep.
God, please, just help the people of this world stop acting like the way you're born matters. I'm getting sick of this. We help the world, and everyone hates us. They think we're monsters, or we're disgusting creatures that don't deserve to live. Please, help us. Amen.
Jon sat on a stump. He felt weaker nowadays, just more tired and like he would lash out at anyone near him. Last time he had "changed", though, he had karate-chopped his own throat to stop himself. His friend, Michael, from way back in Illinois, told Jon to kick his unknown self's...erm, butt, next time after Jon had told him that story.
I want this to end. Why do I have this torturous thing in my head?

Nick walked up to Jon. He had been hiding out for quite some time now.He had very good reason to, though, but he didn't want to think about it now...it just made him feel sick. During his time of hiding he felt lonely and needed someone to talk to. His only true friend here was Jon. He saw that he was apparently distraught to. He sat done next to him not saying a word. He thought that this would be a good place to get pulled together before the fight that could very well cost him his life. He started to reflect.

"Hullo, Nick," Jon said in a dead voice. "World bringin' ya down, too?"
Jon kept sittng there, doin' nothing but looking at the ground. Maybe he should jump around in the trees, have some fun. But he didn't even want to concentrate on becoming Raptor. He just wanted to sit there all night. Which, was a very probable thing.

"Yea the world is. I'm assuming you feel the same." Nick wanted to have a nice long conversation but at the same time didn't. He wanted the Sentinel threat to be over. He was tired of this. He asked Jon what was wrong with him though he already was pretty sure of the answer.

"Everything is the matter, and everything is matter," he said, trying in vain to amuse himself. "I want the stupid Sentinel's to come already and either die or get this horrible wait away."

Nick secretley felt that Jon was lucky if all he had to worry about was the Sentinel threat. Don't get me wrong, that was a large part of why Nick was so upset. But Nik had other depressing things on his mind that he didn't want to talk about right now.He wanted to cry but he held back. He was losing it. He tried to pull himself together, but couldn't. Tears slowly started to trickle down his cheek.

Jon looked at Nick, and saw he had lost it.
Better leave him alone, pretend your looking at a tree.
So Jon did. He just sat there and looked at the tree. He wanted to do something, help out a lot, but couldn't. He had just destoryed Xavier's office...well, not completely, just made slash marks and and broke some stuff. Jon wondered if he should go back.
It would be pretty dumb to. I should just wait here until the Sentinals come. Then, I'll fight to the death to make up for destroying the place. Wow. Is that what I'm giving up my life? Out of all the things in the world, I'd rather die for an office than live? Well, I guess people wouldn't remember me to well if I didn't anyway...
They just didn't understand. He had a friggin split personality, he had warned Christine not push him too far...But it was his fault, he supposed. He shouldn't have teleported her. She made no indication she was dying, she just made a really creepy prediction.
Man, this feels horrible. The only thing making me feel better is that it was good intentions.

All of the sudden, Nick felt outraged and angry. He was mad about everything. He got up and stopped time. In the time-stop Nick completely obliterated the tree that Jon was staring at. Why him? WHY? He went into normal time again with pieces of bark everywhere. He somehow felt better. He sat back down next to Jon and began to tell him the real thing that was troubling him.

Jon was looking at the tree, and suddenly it was many peices of tree. He wonder what the heck was going on while the peices were falling, and realized Nick must have done it.
"Okay, I just destroyed Xavier's office, what's wrong with you?"

"OK" Nick started his story. "I know that this might sound cheesey, but I had a vision last night in a dream. It was of a room full of people all looking really scared. And I could sense that someone was in there that I really care about, but I can't figure out who. And I have a strong suspicion that I have to save them, but I don't know where they are or when this is gonna happen or what is gonna happen. But I know it's something bad. I think it was the future that I saw. I don't know if I can do it alone. But also I have to fight the Sentinals. I don't know what to do."

"You're right That is cheesey....."
Jon had bad dreams all the time, every night to be exact. They were all real-looking too, why would Nick freak out like that? Either he was really weak (which he doubted) or it must have been one heck of a nightmare.
"Okay, that was a weird dream. Maybe, it could be your powers....evolving. It happens a lot, it's how mutants get stronger. Remember when that happened to Amara? Well, she didn't get totally new powers...Maybe it was just a dream..."

"No, I'm positive that this was more than a dream.That was only the first part. I didn't tell you that about a week before this dream, I had anohter dream.It said that in time I would have one vision. He said it had something to do with my powers dealing with time and to develop more with my powers I need to have one psycic vision, and that when that happened, I should do what I felt was right. Coincedence? I think not."

"Hmmmm" Jon said. He personally thought he was pulling his chain. Jon looked at the demolished tree, and said, "Wish I could do stuff like that."
He looked at the ground. If Nick did indeed decide to go, Jon couldn't let him go alone. He could die, and 2 was better than 1. Usually. But, the X-men needed help, too. What would he do? Of course, no one said the two events would happen at the same time.

"Jon," Nick proceeded,"I also have a bad feeling tha this is gonna happen at about the same time as the Sentinels."Nick was once again crying. He hoped that Jon didn't see him.

"How is that gonna work? We've got to help the others, but still, all those people you saw..."
Jon beleived Nick now. Maybe he was right. In the crazy, mixed up universe he called home, who was to say what couldn't happen?
"We'll need to be two places at the same time. How?"
Jon thought. Suddenly, lightbulb!
"Nick this is gonna sound weird, considering I've told you many times not to, but..." Jon thought. He wasn't angsting much now. Trying to make this next sentence sound as intelligent-sounding as possible, he exclaimed, "You can time travel!"
