X-Men: The Next Mutation Opening

@ariel-seagull-wings, @phantom088

It starts off showing a shot of The Westchester District, just as the slightly transparent shot of Xavier's eyes appeared over it.

Right before cutting to a shot of The X-Men, partying.

"Give it up!"

Soon enough, a slideshow started.

It then cuts to The X-Men, along with Mariko, Akihiro and Laura, all in their pajamas, eating breakfast.

The X-Men were eating massive portions of it while the others just looked on in shock.

"The next stage of evolution is here!"

It cuts to the team traversing through The Danger Room.

Cyclops, Colossus, Shadowcat and Wolverine were running.

Psyche, Storm, Angel and Lockheed were flying

Beast was swinging from hoop to hoop.

Nightcrawler was teleporting.

And Iceman was using an ice slide.

It cuts to the team relaxing at the swimming hole with Duncan and Taryn.

They were all about plunge into a pool via an icy waterslide.

It then cuts to the team in living room of Beast, Angel and Iceman's home, where they were playing video games, all while in their pajamas.

Shadowcat and Lockheed were cheering with joy.

Storm, Beast, Angel and Iceman were completely locked-in.

Psyche was having fun.

Cyclops and Colossus had practically given up.

It cuts to a baseball field, where the team were playing baseball.

Psyche was the pitcher, Iceman was the batter, Cyclops was the catcher, and the others were basemen and field catchers.

It then cuts to Shadowcat chasing a loose Lockheed through the halls of Midtown High School, with Nightcrawler, Colossus and Iceman not too far behind.

It finally cuts to a group shot of the team, all doing goofy faces, while....

"X-M-E-N!"

Was shouted, with the letters briefly appearing in a big white don't surrounded and highlighted by a yellow and blue background.

"Alright!"

It then cuts to a shot of Xavier, smiling at the audience, as he was sitting in front of a background made up of the swirling symbols of the mutant classes.

Those being a starburst (Energy), a brain (Mental), a paw-print (Feral), a four-way blast of wind, water, fire and earth (Elemental), an atom (Molecular), and a combination of all five (Hybrid).

We then cut to a montage, showcasing each of the X-Men, accompanied by brief fading transitions.

The first was Cyclops, which was done in front of a ruby-colored background with starbursts.

His fading transitions included him putting on his shades, working on a car, making a model plane, lifting a truck over his head with a ruby-colored glow radiating from his body, flying around with a ruby-colored energy aura engulfing him, and unleashing a three-way blast with his visor and hands.

It then cuts to Cyclops, standing next to his logo with his arms crossed and a smile on his face.

His logo was in navy blue font, with a ruby beam blasting out of the O.

The second was Psyche, which was done in front of a pink-colored background with spheres.

Her fading transitions included her doing a puzzle with her telekinesis, reading a fashion magazine, doing some cheerleading, stopping a barrage of glass shards with her telekinesis, crafting a psionic barrier around herself, and unleashing a wave of psionic energy.

It then cuts to Psyche, standing next to her logo, hovering above the ground.

Her logo was made entirely out of pink psionic energy.

The third was Beast, which was done in front of a light blue background with all kinds of animal footprints.

His fading transitions included him reading a book all while being surrounded by piles of them, mixing chemicals together, playing football, swinging around in his sasquatch form, licking his arm in his feline form, mooing in his bovine form, sleeping his bear form, snorting in his boar form, and sniffing around in his canine form.

It then cuts to Beast (in his sasquatch form), hanging underside down right next to his logo.

His logo was blue and furry.

The fourth was Storm, which was fone in front of a thunderstorm.

Her fading transitions included her watering several plants with a mini thundercloud, leading environmental rally, sunbathing, going into her ice form, turning herself into a whirlwind, turning herself into a wave, and zipping all over the place in her electric form.

It then cuts to Storm, who was hovering right next to her logo.

Her logo was made entirely out of electricity.

The fifth was Angel, which was done in front of a sky blue background with clouds.

Her fading transitions included her giving some food to a homeless man, playing chess, flying around, a bleeding gash on her shoulder instantly healing, using her healing touch to help an injured woman, and hurling a blast of light.

It then cuts to Angel flying right beside her logo.

Her logo was in gold font, with a light halo right above the G.

The sixth was Nightcrawler, which was done in front of a background with black and indigo clouds.

His fading transitions included him performing at a play, reading The Three Musketeers, dressing up like a pirate with his cutlasses in hand, swinging from some trapezes, disappearing into a shadow, and teleporting all over the place.

It then cuts to Nightcrawler crouching beside his logo.

The logo was in indigo font and had black mist surrounding it.

The seventh was Colossus, which was done in a front of grey background.

His fading transitions included him painting on a canvas, drawing his sketchbook, admiring a statue, going into his steel form, and carrying several farm animals over his head.

It then cuts to Colossus standing right next to his logo, with his hands on his hips.

His logo was made completely out of grey steel.

The eighth was Iceman, which was done in a front of an icy blue background with some frozen rigids on the edges.

His fading transitions included him laughing at a laptop, skating across the ground, making funny faces, doing some stand-up comedy, putting on his ice armor, freezing a glass of water, hurling on icy shards, and riding on his ice slide.

It then cuts to Iceman, who was leaning against his logo with his arms crossed.

The logo was made entirely out of ice.

The ninth was Shadowcat and Lockheed, which was done in front of a yellow and black background.

Their fading transitions included playing Dungeons and Dragons, surfing the web, fixing a broken computer, playing fetch together, and phasing through a wall.

It then cuts to Shadowcat and Lockheed standing right beside their logo.

Shadowcat's was yellow while Lockheed's was purple.

And the final was Wolverine, was done in front of a yellow orange background with black triangular stripes.

His fading transitions included riding his motorcycle, drinking some beer, kissing Mariko on the cheek, hugging Akihiro and Laura, doing some practice with his katanas, ejecting his claws, sniffing around, having his missing hand grow back, and lunging towards the screen.

It then cuts to Wolverine, who was in a battle stance right beside his logo.

His logo was in yellow orange font with black triangular stripes.

"X....."

"M....."

"E....."

"N......"

It cuts to a scend of X-Men logos, which was moving across the screen.

"X-M-E-N!"

It then cuts to a group shot of the X-Men, who were all doing some kind of action.

"The Next Mutation....."

But suddenly, The Brotherhood of Mutant Supremacy broken through the shot, shattering it in the process.

First was Mystique, then followed by Rogue, Sabretooth, The Juggernaut, The Blob, Pyro, Avalanche, Sauron, Lorelei, Unus the Untouchable, and Toad.

It cuts to a line-up shot of the group, all ready to fight.

It then cuts to a line-up shot of The X-Men, also ready to fight and essentially facing their respective rivals.

A montage began, showing The X-Men facing off against respective rivals on The Brotherhood.

The first scene showed Mystique, who pulled out two guns as eight tendrils grew out her body, all equipped with guns as well.

It then pans to Xavier, who crafted psionic energy gatling guns for his wheelchair.

And soon enough, the two started blasting at each other.

The second scene showed Shadowcat and Lockheed dodging several projectile barriers from Unus.

The third scene showed Angel, who was flying away from Sauron.

She was hurling beams of light at him, while he was hurling optic beams, psionic energy blasts, lightning, and icy blasts at her.

The third scene showed Beast dodging Blob, who was rolling all over the place at incredible speeds.

Blob then proceeded to leap high into the air and came back down with a mighty thud, unleashing a massive shockwave in the process, prompting Beast to jump back.

The fourth scene showed Iceman sliding around Pyro, who was launching massive fire balls at him, while he was retailing with icy blasts.

The fifth scene showed Psyche and Lorelei engaged in a battle of mental fortitude as they unleashed psionic waves and hypnotic singing onto each other.

The sixth scene showed Nightcrawler and Toad dueling with each other, attacking with sword slashes and kicks and dodging each other's attacks.

The seventh scene showed Colossus engaged in a brawl with Juggernaut.

The eighth scene showed Wolverine and Sabretooth trading slashes with each other.

The ninth scene showed Avalanche riding on a massive wave of earth towards Storm, who was a massive wave of water right now.

And the final scene showed Cyclops and Rogue facing each other while standing separate rooftops.

Cyclops started forming a ball of energy in his hands, all while his ruby glow appeared.

And Rogue started doing the same thing as well, but with a green glow.

Soon enough, the two leaders both unleashed a massive blast towards each other, which collided, prompting a massive flash to engulf the screen.

It then cuts to a shot of the series title, right before panning up to a group shot of The X-Men.

"X-M-E-N!"

mutant file (logan howlett x fem!oc)

name: michaela isabella fiore

alias: natura

day of birth: june 22nd, 1968 (32 in X Men 1)

height: 5'6

category: mutant (alpha level)

abilities: chlorokinesis, toxikinesis, toxic immunity, genius

residence: xavier school for gifted youngsters

occupation: doctor and biology teacher

affliction: x-men (since 1990)

state: alive

history

"early life"

Michaela Isabella Fiore, born on 22 June 1968, daughter of Paul and Francesca Fiore in the borough of Brooklyn, New York. Both are children of first-generation Italian immigrants to the United States. Working class, they ran a flower shop in North Brooklyn. Currently retired.

The first mutant gene samples are demonstrated in a biology class during primary school. According to the teacher's reports, during an experiment where students were asked to grow a bean in a beaker, Fiore's plant grew "abnormally". Other school reports state that, during high school, girls who were picking on Michaela reported to the teacher that Fiore had planted manure in her lockers. It was never proven.

Michaela continued her studies and was awarded one of the Xavier Scholarships for Gifted and Talented Youth at New York University, where she graduated with a major in Botanical Biology and Toxicology and a minor in Genetics,where she met Sara Kinney. She later obtained her PhD at Oxford, with a thesis on assisted mutation in various plants for medical purposes.

"xavier school for gifted youngsters and X Men"

Since her doctorate at Oxford in 1990, Michaela Fiore has been a registered biology teacher at Xavier School for gifted youngsters. She is also a member of the X Men team, along with Scott Summer alias Cyclops, Jean Grey alias Marvel Girl, Ororo Munroe alias Storm, Kurt Wagner alias Nightclawer and Hank McCoy alias Beast.

However, Fiore's work is more oriented towards laboratory work and the development of new ways to treat the injured mutants who come to the school.

Some field missions are recorded. Despite little hand-to-hand training, Fiore's skills allow her to get the upper hand in a ranged fight.

During the 2000s, the X Men had several clashes with the notorious ex-terrorist Magneto and his Brotherhood of Mutants. As well as battles against the government against the Mutant Registration Act and the "Mutation Cure". Both Dr. Fiore and Dr. Grey advocated against both of these in Congress.

During this time, new members join the X-Men: Remy LeBeau aka Gambit, Anna Marie aka Rogue, Piotr "Peter" Nikolaievitch Rasputin aka Colossus, Robert Louis "Bobby" Drake aka Ice-Man, Katherine Anne "Kitty" Pryde aka Shadowcat and Logan Howlett aka Wolverine.

...

2006➜ ERROR, FILE NOT FOUND

ONE SHOTS SET AFTER DAYS OF FUTURE PAST

Currently, the X Men grouping is still unleashed by Scott Summers aka Cyclops, Ororo Munroe aka Storm and Logan Howlett aka Wolverine. Michaela Fiore does not take part in the field missions and shares the position of deputy director with Dr. Jean Grey.

The Sentinel menace was stopped in 1973 by a mutant named Mystique, who saved the president from Magneto.

currently, 2024 (nobody's dead, we're all happy and forgetting the timeline, FUCK TVA)

The school remains the same as it has been all these years, but the threats don't stop. Recently, records came in about a trafficking of mutant children being experimented on by an illegal organisation on the Mexican border.

The X Men are working on it at the moment.

character analysis

Michaela is a kind and optimistic person. Over the years she has gained more experience and control over her powers, which makes her a confident person. At first she was reluctant to be introduced to the X-Men, but her colleagues convinced her.

She spends much of her time in the underground lab at X-Mansion, alongside Jean Grey and, on occasion, Hank McCoy.

Her first encounter with Logan, aka Wolverine, was not a pleasant one. The mutant awoke from his coma (induced by the Professor) altered and confused, so he attacked Michaela and scarred her back with his claws. Michaela, in response, put him to sleep with chloroform, until the Professor arrived.

The two slowly, slowly worked out their differences.

For their personalities clash quite a lot. Logan is a lone wolf, while Michaela is all about teamwork. But according to Cyclops, they're both equally annoying.

Despite appearances, constant bickering and "mutual hatred", there is a pact of respect between the two. They will never say it to each other's faces, but they are very fond of each other. (Everybody knows it, except them).

now some headcannons

The X Men affectionately refer to Michaela as Mickey or Dr. Mickey.

Logan refers to her as "kid".

Mickey refers to him as "old dog".

Mickey wears a necklace with a St. James medal, a legacy from her paternal grandfather Jimmy Fiore.

Mickey doesn't know that Logan's real name is James.

The children shipped their biology teacher and the history teacher (i.e. them).

Michaela was upset after Logan's departure after fighting Magneto.

And when he left again.

And again.

He has commitment issues (no shit).

Apparently he always fixes it when he comes back.

The X Men always party when he comes back, they go to a bar a few miles from the school.

Our girl can't stand alcohol (she's given Logan endless lectures on the problems of alcohol), but on these occasions she has a margarita or two.

Bad idea.

She's a lightweight.

Very funny until she throws up.

Logan always ends up looking after her.

But not without laughing the next morning, delivering her own sermons against her.

Again, children SHIP them.

Bobby tried to lock them in a classroom. It was fun until Logan chased him all over the mansion.

Logan offers to teach Michaela how to fight.

She has improved a lot.

He always ends up in a cold shower.

Sometimes they are found in the kitchen at night, or in the greenhouse or laboratory.

Logan suffers from chronic nightmares, about his past, about Weapon X, PTSD...

Michaela is only used to little or no sleep. She lives in a mansion with hundreds of children, there must always be someone awake.

They do not normally speak at these meetings.

The next morning it's back to normal.

Michaela lives in coffee.

Logan hates coffee.

Logan always makes Michaela coffee.

They will end up together. For sure. But there are bets hanging around.

Even Magneto, in his plastic prison, asks the Professor for updates.

"Any news on...?" "Not that I know of." "For God's sake, Charles! You're a mind reader!"

If the cards had fallen in a different direction, Talia Josephine Wagner would have grown up in a mansion full of children just like her; the offspring of heroes, the stuff of legends. A roll of the dice, a twist of fate, and -- instead, she was alone. A single bundle of trouble in two buildings full of adults with so much on their plates it was a wonder she'd been born at all. But lest that make her past sound sad, it was the only life she knew, and she wouldn't have changed it for anything. She had dozens of aunties and uncles of all stripes; heroes, sometime-villains, Avengers, X-Men, even Excalibur and Alpha Flight.

But one stood -- metaphorically, at least -- head and shoulders above the rest, practically from the day she was born. It was almost as if he'd decided to make up for lost time, past mistakes; whatever the case, one could rest assured that if she wasn't in the care of one of her parents, TJ Wagner could be found perched on the arm or in the lap of one Logan 'Professor W' Howlett. He called her his 'favorite niece'. Even her parents considered him a third parent.

Once, he'd shooed Wanda and Kurt off for a much-needed date night without their sweet but rather energetic six-month-old daughter, only for them to come home to him gently swaying to country music with her perched on his arm, her little three-fingered fist closed around his thumb. The picture still sits on his desk, though the girl has long since outgrown being held and danced with by her favorite uncle.

She'd nap on his chest while he lectured older students about battle tactics or geopolitics; she'd be right at his hip as he drilled them in the Danger Room. He'd let her pick the movie, even when it was his turn. She wasn't exactly spoiled… but he had a lot more time on his hands, running the school, than her parents did as active members of their respective teams. Wanda had to hold down the magical end of things; Kurt had risen to his former spot as squad leader.

A little girl could get lost in the shuffle, without someone to make sure she didn't.

Later, much later, when the past had come to haunt her, she'd cried, wishing he could see her now, wishing she knew if he was proud of her. And somewhere out there, even though it's singed and the glass had to be replaced, a picture of a man dancing with a little blue baby still sits on a desk, waiting for her to come back.

X-Men Abridged 1985: Adventures in Asgard

The X-Men, those Asgardian mutants that have sworn to protect a world that hates and fears them, are a cultural juggernaut with a long, tangled history. Want to unravel this tapestry? Then read the Abridged X-Men!

(X-Men & Alpha Flight 1 - 2, New Mutants Annual ‘85, Uncanny X-Men ‘85 ) - by Chris Claremont and Paul Smith, Bob Wiacek, Arthur Adams

Yes, you see that correctly. That little falcon has a teeny-tiny mohawk on its tiny-teeny bird head, because comics are ridiculous. (New Mutants Annual ‘85)

You know what would really spice up the X-Men? To let them visit the most boring part of the Marvel Universe: Asgard!

As said before, for the Uncanny X-Men, 1985 has been a disjointed year. This was not helped by a sort of interlocking plotline that spread throughout one limited series and two annuals, all of them tied together by the presence of Loki. So that’s what we’re doing: we’re going to cover the reason why Loki takes a special interest in our merry mutants (Alpha Flight & X-Men Limited Series 1 and 2) and what happens when they are whisked away to Asgard. (New Mutants Annual ‘85 and Uncanny X-Men Annual ‘85.)

If you’re super-duper not into the Thor-part of the Marvel Universe, you can skip this one. All we really need to know, continuity-wise, is that Danielle Moonstar somehow becomes a Valkyrie and adopts a pegasus. If you’re not deterred, well…

Because this storyline deals with three superteams, the cast is absolutely huge. Hold onto your butts!

The Uncanny X-Men:

Cyclops: Scott Summers, red eyebeams. Currently on sabbatical to enjoy married life with his wife. Enjoy him while you can, because there will be massive character derailment coming up soon.

Madelyne Pryor. Cyclops’ wife. Bears an uncanny resemblance to his deceased girlfriend, Jean Grey, but I’m sure that’s just a coincidence.

Storm: Ororo Munroe, currently depowered. Is on a spiritual journey to find herself.

Wolverine: Logan. Clawed ball of anger.

Colossus: Piotr Rasputin. Russian tin man. Cuddly communist.

Nightcrawler: Kurt Wagner. Fuzzy demonic elf. Bae.

Shadowcat: Kitty Pryde. Phasing powers. The one teenager on the adult squad.

Rogue. Former villain, current flying brick. Steals powers and memories with a touch. Also bae.

Rachel Summers. Jean and Scott’s child from a future-that-never-was. Has yet to tell him this. Telepath. A little dramatic, even for an X-Man.

Professor Xavier. Telepath with boundary issues. The original dreamer and mentor to the X-Men and the New Mutants.

The New Mutants:

Psyche: Danielle Moonstar. Cheyenne, illusionist. About to have her backstory needlessly complicated.

Cannonball: Sam Guthrie. Human… well, you can figure that out. Good old boy.

Sunspot: Roberto daCosta. Fiery ball of anger.

Wolfsbane: Rahne Sinclair. Scottish werewolf who hates her human side and loves her wolf side.

Magma: Amara Aquila. Lava girl from not-so-Ancient-Rome.

Magik. Illyana Rasputin. Teleporter, demonic sorcerer and ruler of an infernal dimension. Has the most impressive resumé out of these young ones, also Colossus’ younger sister.

Cypher. Douglas Ramsey. Innate linguist. Cutie, perhaps not suited for the life of a superhero, but is just so very excited.

Warlock. Robot alien that can change shape. Pacifist born to a warrior race. Class clown.

Karma. Xi’an Coy Manh. Telepath that got possessed by a villain for a good long time, recently returned to the fold.

Alpha Flight:

Shaman: Michael Twoyoungmen. Surgeon turned sorcerer. V. man of science/man of faith.

Snowbird: Narya. Canadian half-goddess. Cool as fuck.

Heather McNeil: wife of the late Vindicator (ugh!), soon to be the next Vindicator. Leads Alpha Flight despite being human.

Puck: Eugene Judd. Tiny rubber ball man.

Sasquatch: Walter Langkowski. Canadian werebeast who loves his human side and Aurora’s human side.

Aurora. Mutant. Superspeed and supersparkle powers with her twin. Has a ‘split personality’, as written by someone who has no idea what that means. One side of her has access to her mutant powers and is fun, outgoing and flirty; the other is an introverted school teacher. The latter hates the former.

Northstar. Twin of the above. Superquebecois. Still kind of stuck in the closet, in a time where even the existence of the closet was vehemently denied.

Talisman. Elizabeth Twoyoungmen. Daughter of; magical conduit.

THEY UPPED THE LIMIT FOR PICTURES I CAN HAVE MORE THAN TEN PICTURES?!?

Madelyne and Scott are flying a crew of scientists over Canada, since Scott is trying his hand at being a regular non-X-Man person. They’re caught in a freak storm that Scott recognizes, because when you hang around Storm for long enough, you become a bit of a meteorologist yourself.

While I have full faith in Madelyne as a pilot, I'm still not sure it's wise to make Scott your co-pilot, since those ruby quartz glasses mean he’s essentially colour blind. (X-Men and Alpha Flight 1)

Half a continent away, the mayday is received by the X-Men. It causes Rachel to go haywire, because what if her dad dies and she never told him that she’s actually daughter? (There is actually an easy solution to that, but whatever.) Due diligence is for dummies, so she immediately goes on the attack.

Just as Snowbird arrives in the Alpha Flight headquarters to deliver some Grave Tidings©, Rachel arrives and easily mops the floor with Snowbird, Shaman and Heather, wife of the recently deceased Guardian/Vindicator. (A character I only know to be an asshole. Northstar tends to hate him, so I will do so too.) Aurora tries to turn the tide but…

Either Claremont wrote Rachel to be a grade A bitch here, or he has no idea how to write DID. Or both. Either way, not a great look for either of them. (X-Men and Alpha Flight 1)

Like Legion, Aurora has an interesting (if problematic) history in regards to her disorder and mental health. Unlike Legion, who has been allowed to flourish as a character since his inception and whose autism evolved together with our society’s understanding of it, Aurora tends to be defined almost solely by her dissociative identity disorder, which doctors these days aren’t sure even exists. While her history of abuse in a Catholic orphanage rings painfully real, the way her character tends to be portrayed as a vehicle for DID and little else is a disservice to such a promising character. (Read more here.) I’m glad that these days, she’s getting some love and agency in X-Factor and Marauders. (Even though I don’t understand one iota of the current Marauders run, but what the hey.)

Anyway, while I don’t love what Rachel is doing to Aurora here, I do feel that her mopping the floor with half of Alpha Flight is correct. Rogue swoops in after her to clean up the stragglers and she deals with Northstar by kissing him.

Hmmm. I wonder what secrets she possibly could have plucked from his head?

Anyway, after Rachel has calmed down, Shaman explains he had nothing to do with the freak storm and Xavier has been a hypocrite, the groups decide to join forces and find Scott, Madelyne and the missing crew. Let’s go, telepathy!

We then cut to Loki petitioning some shady old gods for power. However, in order to win their boon, he must give humanity a gift. A proper gift, freely given and willingly accepted. Hmmmm…

The X-Men and Alpha Flight fly off to a desolate mountain range – Kurt gets to wear a dashing hat! Jean-Paul and Rogue scout ahead and bond, which is my favorite character beat in this story. The two biggest misfits of these teams, it makes sense that they would be able to relate.

If only this had not been a case of Incompatible Orientation, perhaps some other French-speaking outcast mutant could have stolen Rogue’s heart. (X-Men and Alpha Flight 1)

In a field that is way too verdant for how high up they are, they stumble into a mysterious castle where they are greeted by Scott. He tells them everything is better than fine. They’re forced to believe him, because they can look him straight in his baby-blues! Scott is cured and can control his eyebeams!

See, all humans on board of the aircraft got imbued with super powers! Madelyne got transformed into Anodyne, and another into Cornucopia, capable of creating food, and others into evocative names like Lord of the Plants and Pathfinder. Madelyne immediately sets to work, curing Puck.

I don´t know if Madelyne´s powers made her taller or if she always was the size of a baby giraffe, but damn. Goblyn Queen got legs. (X-Men and Alpha Flight 1)

Madelyne also cures Rogue, although it’s a little unclear if her mutant powers are removed or if she can just control them. In any case, what follows is another cute moment between Jean-Paul and Rogue, where he willingly offers himself up as a guinea-pig for her to test her lack of powers on. She knows how much of a sacrifice that is for him, potentially opening up like that, and yet he follows through anyway.

It's adorable and I wonder if there´s such a thing as shipping but for friends, because I’m hardcore shipping Rogue/Northstar right about now.

Xavier pulls his usual bullshit when he reveals publicly that he senses another mind in Madelyne, forcing her to admit that she’s pregnant. (Boundaries, of course, only apply to people other than Professor X. God, sometimes you just want to bash him in his spherical head.)

Don’t run away, Rachel! This is the perfect soap opera-esque moment to scream out that you are the daughter they will never have! (X-Men and Alpha Flight 1)

Did… did the eighties really have leg warmers that came up all the way to your thighs?

While Kitty and Talisman follow Rachel after her self-imposed time-out, a powerless Heather takes a little dip in the magical fountain and gains powers (the aforementioned Pathfinder). At the same time, Shaman’s magical pouch gravely injures its owner, seemingly turning against him. What is going on?

Talisman and Kitty follow Rachel and discover an ancient Viking village hidden underneath the tundra. There, they try to talk the redheaded stepchild from the ledge: Rachel is out of her wits, realizing that her father getting a boy means that she will never exist. Kitty points out the inherent paradox in that statement, but then the village starts to collapse. They flee, but Kitty deduces someone is trying to hide something from her. She’s beginning to doubt this utopia.

When they return, they bear witness to Madelyne burning out Wolverine’s berserker rage. Kitty points out that she wouldn’t have survived Ogun without Logan’s berserker side, which is a fair point. (When does it stop being a cure and start being a catch-all for everything in the world you don’t like? Also, I bet she’s aching to get her hands on Aurora…) Kitty then presses that Wolverine go check on Snowbird, who is withering away. Wolverine, who is besties with Narya (who wouldn’t be? She’s arguably the best member of Alpha Flight), thinks that it isn’t a coincidence that both Shaman and Snowbird – magical creatures – are affected. Maybe there’s something rotten in paradise, after all.

Rogue, on the other hand, is enjoying the fuck out of it.

I don’t blame you, Rogue. I would also pick the haughty Quebecois over any of the other bozos on this trip. (Kurt’s the sole exemption, but you two are sort of related.) (X-Men and Alpha Flight 2)

Wolverine crashes the party and reveals that this utopia has a steep price: the extinguishing of all magic and their magical friends. (Which is an odd way to describe Snowbird, but in some ways, you could view her as a magical woodland creature. In any case.) The group splits down the middle, with most X-Men taking the stance that an utopia can’t be bought in blood and and most Alpha Flighters agreeing that the ends justify the means. (Yes, they are the worst.) Interestingly, Rogue, Cyclops and Northstar side with the X-Men, while Colossus, Rachel and Madelyne side with the Alphans.

You’d think this rift would maybe amount to something, but it’s quickly under rug swept. Sad. They could have done a Superhero Exchange Program and swapped Colossus in for Northstar.

Anyway, the obligatory fight erupts, until a few of the people on the Alphans side realize they’ve also been rendered creatively sterile. (The cook-turned-Cornucopia can’t think of new recipes, the architect-turned-Master Builder can’t dream up new buildings, etc.) That’s when Loki appears, all: “nbd, you’ll be as gods!” When the superpowered humans disagree – killing all magic is fine, but they draw the line at being robbed of their imagination – Loki gets angry and tries to force these ungrateful wretches to accept his gift.

That doesn’t go well for him.

They Who Live Above: “Swear you won’t harm these people! Swear on the dad you hate!” Loki: “...kay.” (X-Men and Alpha Flight 2)

Loki reverses everything, because Status-Quo is quite literally God, and Madelyne is stripped of her powers and Rogue and Cyclops are back to being not in control of their powers again. Also, Rachel still doesn’t tell Cyclops he’s actually her dad, so Loki’s new vendetta against the X-Men is literally the only thing of consequence in this godawful crossover.

Well, other than Kurt’s snazzy hat. (X-Men and Alpha Flight 1)

Loki’s vendetta carries us through to the New Mutants Annual, where the Lord of Lies is admiring Ororo through a mystical TiVo. He wonders what she would do to get her powers back and orders the Enchantress to fetch him Ororo.

After rescuing Karma from being possessed by the Shadow King, Ororo and the New Mutants end up on a Greek island to take a deserved holiday. While all of the New Mutants are hanging out on the beach, Karma is hiding out inside, afraid to face the world. Not only does she have to deal with all the evil things the Shadow King did while using her body, she also has to deal with the way the Shadow King abused her body.

While it’s not the tac I would’ve chosen, you could do a worse “reason to live” than spite. (New Mutants Special ‘85)

There’s an opportunity here for a storyline, one where Karma either has to work hard to go back to where she was or has to work hard to accept her new self. How cool would it be to have a fat superhero in a comic populated by people with idealized bodies? That’s not what we’ll be getting: instead, Karma will be shedding the extra pounds quicker than she did the Shadow King: I think it’s gone before the end of the issue.

Not begrudging anyone their body, thin or thick, but I do resent the implication that she was only fat because she was possessed by evil.

Anyway, all the skinny New Mutants are at the beach and Warlock is trying on bathing suits for size.

Warlock is reenacting that video where the model dresses in swimwear through the ages, going from the swimsuits of the 30’s to the oversized shorts of the 90’s to (hopefully) the men’s swimwear of 2023. (New Mutants Special ‘85)

Then, a cloud of darkness whisks them away to Asgard! Loki gives Ororo an avian makeover while he scatters the New Mutants, who go off on their own little side quests. Seriously, check them out, it’s like a DM took a chance on a Random Make-Your-Own-Adventure table.

Magik gets chained to a rock while the Enchantress, Loki’s sexy crony, tries to tempt out her wicked side.

Karma gets stuck in a desert and saves a kid from a Shai-Hulud. Apparently, a grueling trek through an inhospitable landscape is just the regimen she needed, because this is how she gets skinny again (fully off-panel).

Cypher becomes a serf in a mead hall. Next!

Wolfsbane falls in love with a wolf prince but then runs away from him, afraid of her feelings. It’s very furry avant la lettre.

Warlock breaks out of Hel and goes off to find his friends.

Roberto becomes embroiled in a bar inn brawl and is then hired as a glorified security guard. He’s treated as a big strong hero and is not-so-secretly loving it.

Magma is adopted by the fae, who get her drunk on their mead. This turns her into a pointy-eared fae as well. Whoops!

Cannonball saves a wench from dwarves and gets promptly adopted by them. His last name does not become Ironfoundersson.

Danielle saves a pegasus, rolls a natural twenty on her Wild Empathy check and adopts it. She names it Brightwind, not understanding that mounting her My Little Pony means she’s become a Valkyrie. Whoops!

Never figured that Danielle Moonstar, of all people, would become a horse girl. (New Mutants Special ‘85)

Loki orders the dwarves to make him a new hammer for a new thunder god. He’s barely gone before they start gossipping, saying his new falcon familiar is an enchanted one. Sam quickly deduces that it had to be Storm, because of the interesting colouring of the falcon’s feathers. (Not the MOHAWK? dafuqyousay)

The Enchantress manages to distill Magik’s Darkchylde out of Illyana and sends her out into Asgard. Evilyanna manages to recruit Wolfsbane, Sunspot and a fae-corrupted Magma, while Warlock (the only one who’s got his eyes on the plot) saves Doug and picks up Karma, Dani and Sam. The group then finally reunites and Karma makes quick work of the Enchantress’ hold on Illyana. In retribution, Magik sends a manacled Enchantress to Limbo as a gift to S’ym. (S’ym is not to harm her, which sidesteps some unfortunate implications. Phew!)

Sam cautions them to get the X-Men, but since they all have unfinished business on Asgard and want to screw things up for themselves, the New Mutants decide to save Ororo all on their own! Claremont thinks differently, however, deciding to add yet another team to this already bloated cast.

See, apparently, Kitty and Illyana now have a psychic link, despite neither of them being telepathically inclined. Kitty dreams of Asgard and sees a Thorified Storm fighting the Darkchylde, because apparently this connection is interdimensional! This is enough to convince the X-Men to go to Asgard and save the New Mutants! And they will travel to this otherworldly realm using the magical thunderbolts that some C-lister villain left behind three annuals ago!

Yeah, Claremont is definitely taking a few narrative shortcuts here. But who cares! It’s time to suit up!

This is about the least subtle DUN DUN DUN I’ve ever seen, and I watch daytime soap operas. Oh, Maddie. (X-Men Annual ‘85)

While I get that the Phoenix makes for a cool style guide, Rachel, you’re kind of dressing as the thing that killed Cyclops’ wife. And even if he’s not on the team, you’re also kind of dressed as the thing that killed Wolverine and Colossus’ friend, so…

Like I said, narrative shortcuts.

Also, we’re at the point where Rachel told the X-Men Cyclops is her dad, but not Cyclops himself. Cyclops, on the other hand, suspects but is unwilling to ask. ffs

In the grand style of villains everywhere, Loki reveals his masterplan to his pet bird: he plans to groom her as the new God of Thunder, replacing Thor and making him the ruler of Asgard! Evil! Feminist, but evil. He also reveals Storm is under his magical thrall: for example, he is turning her desire to get her powers back against her. Meanwhile, the New Mutants are following Loki until he suddenly shoots them down! (It doesn’t help that they��re riding in Warlock, who’s transformed in an airplane, which are decidedly not native to Asgard.) Once again, the New Mutants are split up. Most importantly, Douglas and Warlock are separated from the rest and they use that opportunity to have sex for the first time.

There is (once again) no heterosexual explanation for this. (X-Men Annual ‘85)

The X-Men, meanwhile, save the wolf prince that’s simply smitten with Rahne from some trolls. As Hela comes to collect the souls of the trolls, she commends Phoenix for being the new, well, Phoenix! (Which is perhaps a clue that your choice is slightly problematic.) The wolf admits to tracking Rahne and the X-Men follow him until they run into the City of Asgard. Here, they split up: Kitty, Rachel and Wolverine infiltrate the city while Rogue, Nightcrawler and Cyclops follow the wolf. But first… Rogue gets them some outfits, so they can blend in.

I’m assuming Rogue raided either a temple or a brothel. (X-Men Annual ‘85)

In the City, these three reunite with Roberto, who does not want to go home. He is blinded by the glory of being a beloved hero in Asgard, plus he’s on the outs with his parents, especially his dad. Wolverine’s pep-talk is interrupted by aggressive rock trolls and though they emerge victorious from this battle – thanks in part because of the melded Douglas/Warlock – Wolverine ends up horribly poisoned! Oh no! (This was before Wolverine’s healing factor gave him basic immortality, so there’s actual stakes.)

The other three chase the wolf and run into Rahne, Karma and Illyana, just as she’s doing a locator spell on Loki. (My God, this recap would be six times shorters if all these people just fucking stuck together in cohesive groups.) Loki plays a reverse Uno, using Magik’s spell to teleport to them and, together with an enthralled Storm, he captures them all.

Dani, meanwhile, sees a death omen around Wolverine and finally realizes she’s a Valkyrie. Don’t look a winged horse in the mouth, etc.

Loki throws a banquet to commemorate the deification of Storm! That’s when the X-Men and the New Mutants attack! (All of them! Some are disguised as Vikings; the others just escaped from Loki’s cell.) Despite the X-Men trying to stop her, Storm still grabs Loki’s big hammer.

Fair’s fair, this would have been a great way for Claremont to give Storm her powers back. Besides, this look is dope enough to warrant a shift in status-quo. (X-Men Annual ‘85)

Wolverine begs Storm to see reason, but then he keels over due to the poison. Hel, always a professional, appears, comes to claim Logan’s soul. This causes Storm to snap out of her enthrallment and together with Phoenix, Cyclops, Dani and Dani’s new sisters, they chase off Hel and Wolverine survives.

Kitty, meanwhile, indulges in her favourite hobby: shouting at people in authority. She tells Loki off, informing him that he can’t hope to stop them all. What’s worse, they’ll spread the truth about Loki’s perfidy throughout Asgard – which, if my Norse mythology serves me well, they should already be aware of, but whatever – which will endanger his plans of Asgardian domination.

Loki, who’s finally had enough of this storyline – as have I – relents and gives them one rule: either they all go, or none of them go. And they have to forfeit everything they got in this land, including Rahne’s wolf lover (aw!) and Amara’s elf form (yay!). In order to prevent this storyline from being completely useless, Karma keeps her physique and Dani keeps her new horse. Yeah, even Loki doesn’t give a fuck anymore about the rules he established two panels ago.

He offers Storm godhood one last time and this time, at her full wits, she denies him again. She’d love to fly again, but not at the expense of helping Loki. (It’s a nice narrative trick, because at this point, the audience is also rooting for Storm to get her powers back and this would be the perfect way to do so.)

Loki falls in love with Storm because she tells him no, presumably providing some keen insight into the hearts of men both mortal and divine, and then clicks his heels three times to send them home. They disappear and this finally, finally, ends Loki’s interest in our merry mutants.

DONE!

Fine, two more highlights. Here’s Warlock saving the day as the Enterprise:

And here’s Warlock, proving he’s watched more Star Trek than Vikings:

My God, this plotline dragged on so long, it took me a year to write this.

At Your Service, Alpha 9

Alpha!Kurt Wagner (Nightcrawler) x omega!Reader

Descriptions: (Y/n) finally starts to figure her shit out! Alex tries to be helpful... but maybe it’s a bit much...?

A/n- Not much to say, just enjoy, I guess! And, feel free to like, comment, reblog... y’know, whatever.

Masterlist Series Masterlist

Story!

(Y/n) woke up, stretching and turning off her alarm, pausing as she took a deep breath through her nose, an enormous grin growing over her face as she realized that she didn't feel the way the back of her sinuses pressed against her throat, making it so that air couldn't get through.

(Y/n) took a deep breath again, feeling how easy the air came through her nose.

She jumped from her bed and ran to the door, yanking it open and taking a deep breath.

(Y/n)'s face fell when she smelled nothing. She pressed her nose against the jamb, breathing as deeply as she could.

Nothing, no scent, no smell, as though it had been recently cleaned.

Pain tore at her heart.

It was gone.

She closed the door and leaned back against it.

A dejected feeling grew in her chest as she got ready for work.

Where was her wonderful scent?

Tears grew in her eyes as she walked to the café.

The flowers were in bloom, and the trees, they smelled wonderful, beautiful- but they were dull and uninteresting to her; they weren't the one scent she was longing for.

She trudged in through the door of the café and made her way to where her apron was hanging.

“(Y/n)?” Alex asked, stunned by her behaviour. “What's wrong? Did someone hurt you? Do you need me to get Jared?”

(Y/n) shook her head silently, tying the apron around herself.

“What's wrong?”

“The smell…”

“(Y/n)! Your sinuses are clear!”

(Y/n) looked up at her in surprise at her exclamation. “Yeah…”

“You don't have that weird hollow sound in your voice!” She teased, trying to cheer her up.

“Ha ha ha,” (Y/n) mocked.

“You don't sound like a duck!”

“Shut up!” She snapped playfully and Alex grinned at her.

“What's wrong?” She asked, now that (Y/n) had finally opened up and relaxed a tiny bit.

“That smell, the scent that was on my door…”

Alex nodded.

“It’s gone…”

Her friend shrugged. “So?”

“It- Alex, I think it was- him…”

“Him? Him who?” She asked at her nod.

“Him; my alpha- my one true alpha,” (Y/n) told her, her voice showing her frustration.

“Oh… Oh, (Y/n), but… the scent is gone?” Her pity was visible on her face.

(Y/n) nodded and Alex walked around the counter toward her.

She wrapped her arms around (Y/n) and her omega scent calmed her; it was like a comforting blanket. The cooks in the back were more relaxed as well. “Maybe he’ll come back-”

“I- I thought I smelled him yesterday, but…”

“Here?”

(Y/n) nodded.

“But?”

“Not today…”

“Why don’t you take the table settings out and sniff around, maybe you’ll smell it again.”

(Y/n) nodded and filled the tray with table settings, walking outside and slowly setting them.

Customers came, and she still couldn’t smell the scent, anywhere.

Tears and pain filled her belly and heart.

She filled her tray with a coffee pot and cups and accompaniments enough for the three tables that had ordered coffee, resting the edge of the heavy tray on her shoulder as she carried it out.

(Y/n)'s eyes were focused at about knee level as she made her way between the tables, her nose still sniffing, hoping to catch a whiff of that amazingly wonderful scent.

The breeze changed direction, blowing from the side, left to right, to behind her slightly, and she froze, her nose perking up a scent.

The scent- it was the scent.

The alpha- maybe her alpha.

(Y/n)'s chin snapped up, and her eyes darted around, looking for the source, focusing toward the edge of the trees, where a figure was moving toward her.

The breeze shifted again, blowing her hair around her face and into her eyes.

(Y/n) pulled it out of the way with her free hand, cursing that she had felt too emotionally pained to bother with it that morning.

When she got control of it and managed to get it tamed enough out of her face that she could see, she looked up at the figure walking toward her.

Kurt.

It was Kurt.

(Y/n)'s heart sped up as she looked at him, tears of happiness, relief, and joy stinging at her ducts.

Her jaw went a little slack as her bottom lip trembled, and she stared longingly at him as he grew closer.

Her hand dropped to her side, the tray holding all of the dishes and coffee things crashing to the ground, the sound of shattering dishes filling the air.

Kurt looked more alert, hurrying to (Y/n), and she stepped forward. “(Y/n), don't, you'll get hurt-" He tried to stop her from walking through the broken ceramic and glass, but she didn't listen, running to him and throwing her arms around his neck, burying her nose in the scent gland there.

Kurt's arms wrapped around her, and she could feel his uncertainty. “Liebling?” He asked.

“Alpha,” she whispered. (Y/n) felt his shoulders relax.

“You started taking your allergy medicine,” he said, a statement of fact, not a question.

“Yes. And I'm never going to stop taking them again.”

Kurt chuckled, burying his nose against her neck and starting to scent her.

(Y/n) scented him back, the both of them nipping and licking at the tender flesh of their scent glands.

(Y/n) let out a whimper, feeling a wave of slick start to grow between her thighs, and Kurt let out a bit of a feral growl, nipping a bit harder, making another whimper leave her lips.

Alex slowly walked toward the two of them, alerted by one of the café patrons that something was happening outside. “(Y/n)?” She asked, keeping alert.

(Y/n) turned to look at her, her pupils a little dilated.

Kurt pulled her closer against his chest, but didn't stop Alex from making her way forward, probably only because she was an omega, and therefore not a risk to her.

“Alex… it's him…” (Y/n) told her.

She bowed her head to Kurt to show her respect, and he let his arms loosen a little, feeling more at ease at the show of respect. “It's him?”

(Y/n) nodded, laying her head against his shoulder so she could still see her.

“(Y/n), are you ok?” She asked, sniffing to assure herself that no fear or discomfort pheromones were in the air.

“I feel weird, like I've got a heat coming on- but I just had one, like, two weeks ago,” she admitted.

“I'm about to start a rut,” Kurt supplied.

Alex nodded. “How long?”

“No telling. I thought within the next two days, but now,” he nuzzled into (Y/n)’s shoulder, giving a lick over her scent gland again. “Who knows.”

“Can you- I mean, I would appreciate it if you could do me the favor of letting her finish the day, and I'll find a replacement for the next week,” she asked.

There was a nearly silent, low rumble in Kurt's throat, and (Y/n) could tell he wasn't a fan of the idea.

She pulled back and looked up at him. “Alpha,” she chided, putting her hands on her hips. “You don't think you're going to make me quit my job, do you? Make me stay at home?”

He smiled at the defiant look in her eyes. “I've come to accept that I can't make you do anything you don't want to, omega,” he told her, and she felt another trickle of slick at him calling her by her presentation.

He sniffed and she knew that he could smell it from the dark look that came over his eyes. He let her go, but still held her hand, leading her to his usual table and sitting down, giving her a smile. “I'll wait for you to come to me here, Liebling, same as always.”

(Y/n) felt her cheeks heat, and her lips turned up in a smile.

Kurt held watch over (Y/n) all shift, as she now realized he had been doing all along, only now he wasn't completely holding back the warning growls to the other alphas when they tried to get too close to her.

“(Y/n), I have to talk to you,” Alex said as she motioned (Y/n) closer near the end of her shift.

(Y/n) walked closer, throwing a glance at Kurt outside. “About what?” She asked.

“Well, it's going to be your first time, right?”

(Y/n) blushed and nodded.

“So, has anyone ever given you the talk?”

(Y/n) shook her head, uncertain of exactly what talk she was talking about, after all, she wasn't a pup, she wasn't stupid, and she had been through a heat before.

“Ok, so… it's going to get a bit weird…”

(Y/n) raised her eyebrows. “Weird?”

Alex looked around to make sure the cooks weren't listening, but decided to pull her back to the office for more privacy.

“Ok, imagine an alpha, being completely alpha-" (Y/n) nodded, nonplussed. “-and then holding you down… not letting you leave the nest, scent marking everything, biting you all over, following you around everywhere naked, pressed against your back with his arms around you so that you can hardly walk…”

(Y/n)'s eyes widened a bit.

“Wanting to shove every part of them possible into you, trying to freaking drink your slick, and not even letting you lay on your stomach because “it might hurt the pups" even though that would be impossible so soon, even if you did conceive,” she said, taking in the stricken look on her face.

“Holy shit,” (Y/n) murmured.

“Ok. So there's that. Alphas also tend to get a bit focused, like, when you're in heat and your brain gets a little fuzzy, but instead they get focused and really, really are all about filling you up with pups, but it's the same as us, they may not actually want them yet, but it is definitely on their mind. You may have to remind them that food, water, and sleep are things that exist.”

(Y/n) bit her lip as nervousness filled her. “Um… Alex, when you said “shove every part possible” wh-what did you mean?”

Her friend gave her a pitying look, her lips pressing into a line. “He has a tail, right?”

(Y/n) nodded, her hands fidgeting with each other.

“You may soon be intimately acquainted with it.”

(Y/n)’s face heated, and she could tell that Alex was trying not to laugh at her.

“As well as his fingers, his tongue, his knot, of course, really, anything they can try to get in there… Lord knows why…”

(Y/n) nodded, though she wasn't really able to pay much attention to what Alex was saying.

When she felt like she'd give as information as she could, Alex put a hand on her friend's shoulder and walked her back to the front of the café.

(Y/n) looked up as she passed through the door, seeing Kurt waiting for her, standing across the seating area, looking calm and confident.

She looked behind her to Alex as she passed through the tables, and saw her friend give her an encouraging smile and a thumbs up.

(Y/n) turned back to Kurt, taking a breath and pushing away her nervousness.

She could do this.
