I love your writing so much and you seem to always brighten my day! So, I just wanted to ask if I can, could you do a chubby manager where she gets bullied because of it and the teams stand up for her and help her. I have been having bad mental health days and this will really help me. But of course if you don't want to it's totally okay. Just asking for consideration! (If you do pick this can you do Karasuno, and Shoji and if you do one that's totally okay 👍) ☺️♥️

Hi there! So my full headcanon requests are currently closed BUT this request definitely hits home for me. I’ve always been tall and chubby and use to get bullied constantly for both. I’m really sorry you are struggling mentally and I hope this can bring you a little smile 😊

I’m going to put it below the cut because it might be triggering to some

TW: Bullying, fat shaming

Being Karasuno’s Manager:

Miss Manager gets bullied

for her Weight

Karasuno (guest appearance by Seijoh, Shiratorizawa and Date Tech) x fem! Reader (she/her)

Warnings: swearing, fat shaming, bullying, reader cries, threatening words, Tanaka thinking he’s a bad ass, Tsukishima taking care of it 💅

First off, Karasuno is B L E S S E D

Come on, 3 managers???

Ugh say less!

Hinata now thinks they are a super powerhouse

Suga says that’s not a real thing

Kageyama kicks Hinata for saying something so stupid 🙄

Anyways, you are a first year like Yachi

Actually Yachi dragged you into this because she was nervous

She had told you about this hot girl who had approached her and asked her to be the boys volleyball manager

You were a bit nervous to say the least

It wasn’t necessarily because your were athletic or didn’t know anything about volleyball

But, in the past, you’d been bullied about your size

And of course, these guys were athletes and they would be fit

To your surprise, however, they said nothing about your weight

Heck they didn’t even seem to notice you were plus sized

Literally all you had to do was breathe YN and these boys would faint 😂

Karasuno treats all their managers like queens and is super protective

They adored you, Yachi and Kiyoko so much and appreciated everything you did for them

You threw them a towel? Eternally grateful 🙌🏻

Filled their water bottle? Excessive thank you’s

Took detailed notes? Framed them and read them everyday

Literally it would be hard to find a more thankful team!

However, not everyone was as nice as Karasuno

You’d faced bullies in middle school and high school

Thankfully most of the people at your high school were pretty decent and nice

But when tournaments came around 👀

Well let’s just say not everyone extended a warm welcome

It was inter high and you were tasked with filling up the water bottles

Honestly, it was your favorite task because you didn’t have to deal with Hinata and Kageyama fighting or Noya and Tanaka peacocking in front of the other team 🙄

As you filled the bottles, you noticed a group of guys gathering behind you

You thought nothing of it, thinking that maybe they were waiting for the water fountain

After you finished, you moved out of the way, turning to smile at them

“You can have the water fountain now! Sorry I was filling up my teams bottles!”

The guys all stared at you with disgust on their faces before one spoke up

“There was no way we could get to the fountain anyways with you taking up that much space.”

The guys all burst in laughter as you watched them

At first, you didn’t think it was due to your size and maybe you were just in the middle of both fountains

“Oh I’m sorry. I would have moved over for you.”

The guys all just laughed as another one spoke

“Not like we’d have any space with your fat ass taking up both fountains!”

Hearing this worlds, your heart instantly sank

But those idiots weren’t done 😑

Because if there’s anything we know about bullies, it’s that they do so to make themselves feel better

And these dummies must have really been feeling like shit…

“Honestly I didn’t even know there were two fountains behind her she’s so big!”

“Damn she’s like a walking billboard for Karasuno!”

The guys laughed as tears began to fill your eyes and your lip began to quiver

These guys were jerks who were hitting every one of your insecurities

And worst of all, you were frozen as the tears began to fall

“Awe did we make the baby hippo cry?” One of the laughed

You tried your hardest to move but you were frozen, unable to run from the bullies

However 👀👀 as luck would have it, you weren’t alone

Because Yachi had been sent to help you

And she saw the entire exchange 😌

She quickly turned, running back to the gym to grab the guys

Kiyoko saw Yachi frantically running and asked her what happened. Panting, Yachi recalled the events

Instantly the atmosphere in the gym changed

Without saying a word, Daichi, Noya and Tanaka took off

The rest of the team following quickly behind

Even Tsukishima was moving quickly 😱

When they say you, still standing there and crying

Oh boy : D

I would not want to be those bullies right about now

Kiyoko and Yachi ran to you and hugged you

“Are you ok Yn?” Kiyoko asked as you shook your head and cried harder

Oof- someone prepare the burial grounds because it’s about to go D O W N

Daichi walked right up to them and got in their face, Suga, Tanaka and Noya right on his heels

“What the hell did you just say to our manager?” Daichi boomed as your head shot up to see the team right in front of you

“What us? Nothing we were just waiting for the water fountain,” one of the jerks said as Suga glared at them

“That’s not what we heard you were doing,” Suga spoke as Tanaka and Noya began to crack their knuckles

By this time, a crowd was starting to gather

Seijoh, Shiratorizawa, Date tech…

The whole gangs here!

And let me just say, they do not look happy

“We heard you said something to our BEAUTIFUL Manager. Mind repeating that…” Tanaka said, cracking his neck from side to side

The guys faces began to pale as Karasuno’s eyes burned with anger

You didn’t want anyone to fight because you knew that they could get kicked out of the tournament

“Guys hey it’s ok, let’s just go,” you said, wiping your eye as Kiyoko and Yachi grabbed your arm

“I think we need to teach these jerks a lesson!” Noya snarled

Nobody was going to stop this

Literally Kunimi was filming because he knew Karasuno was not to be messed with

Heck even Oikawa and Iwaizumi were ready to back Karasuno up!

And because jerks don’t know how to keep their mouths shut, they continued to fan the flames

“Come on guys, she’s huge! How can we not comment on that? I mean I felt the floors move when she walked here!” One of them chuckled

Wrong thing to say bestie

“Let’s take this outside!” Tanaka said, grabbing the jerk by the collar and pulling him towards the exit

The other bullies tried to intervene but were stopped by the wall of Date Tech

“Yeah you ain’t going nowhere,” Futakuchi smirked as Aone glared at the boys

The bullies rn 👉🏻👁️👄👁️

“Hey man let me go! Listen I’m sorry ok!” The one being dragged by Tanaka cried

You didn’t want anyone to get hurt or expelled from the tournament because of you

You stood tall, wiping your eyes as you left Kiyoko and Yachi’s side

“YN wait!” Yachi yelled as you approached Tanaka and the bully

“Tanaka please don’t! I don’t want you to get hurt or kicked out! Karasuno has worked too hard for this,” you spoke as Tanaka looked from you to the bully

He shoved the bully to the ground as he glared down at him

“You’re lucky city boy!”

You breathed a sigh of relief as Tanaka walked away, grabbing your hand

Unfortunately the bully and his now broken ego weren’t don’t 🙄

“I knew Karasuno was a bunch of wimps!”

Daichi, Noya and Tanaka turned around and were ready

“Let’s go city boy! Two hits, I hit you, you hit the ground!” Tanaka shouted

Before you could stop them, they tore down fr towards the boy

Your eyes widened in shock as you prepared for a fight

But thankfully, an Angel shined down from the heavens

An Angel in the form of one tall, rather salty first year

The king of comebacks, Tsukishima 💅

“A bunch of wimps? You’re the one picking on a girl who was filling up water bottles for her team,” Tsukishima spat as Daichi, Noya and Tanaka halted

Everyone turned to look at Tsukishima who had now walked over to the boy and was looking over him

“Where is your manager? Oh wait, you don’t even have one do you? Jealous much? Or maybe it’s because your pathetic asses can’t find any girls who are even remotely interested in being your managers.”

The bully glared up at Tsukishima was was now smirking

“Werent you that team who couldn’t even make it past the first round last time? Yeah that’s right you got your asses handed to you in straight sets.”

“Yeah well at least our team doesn’t isn’t known as being fallen champions!” The bully spat back as Tsukishima laughed, bending over and making eye contact with the jerk

“At least people know who we are, nobody even knows your name.”

“Yeah well-”

“And now that everyone does know who you are, I think they all want to crush you,” Suga added as the boy gulped, looking around at everyone who was glaring at him

“Gee I wonder who your first opponent is?” Oikawa interjected

“That would be us,” Ushiwaka said, arms crossed and glaring at the man

“Oh I’d hate to be your right now!” Tendo laughed, coming from behind Ushiwaka

The boy got to his feet as Tsukishima continued to smirk, everyone still staring at him

“Come on man let’s get out of here,” one of his teammates said

The bully just scoffed before turning around and walking away

Everyone watched as they left for their gym before turning to you

“Are you ok Yn?” Asahi asked as you nodded

“I’ll be ok thank you but you guys didn’t have to do that,” you softly spoke

“No way we were going to sit back and let someone say those things YN!” Hinata shouted

“Yeah that’s why we turned Tsuki lose on his ass!” Yamaguchi smiled

“Shut up Tadashi,” Tsuki said as he began walking back the gym

“Sorry you had to deal with that Yn. If you ever need help, don’t be afraid to ask,” Iwaizumi stepped up

“We are perfectly capable of protecting our manager but thanks,” Daichi growled

“Ok enough of that, let’s go,” Suga said, pushing Daichi back to the gym

Kiyoko took your hand and began to walk away when Ushiwaka stepped in your way

“I will crush them for you Yn,” he said, voice monotone and face passive

You just smiled wide before hugging him

Ushijima 👉🏻😐🫂

Everyone else 👉🏻😳😱

“What the hell Yn where is my hug? I was ready to mess up my spiking hand for you!” Tanaka cries as Ennoshita smacked him

You rolled your eyes before hugging the winged spiker

Tanaka, acting like he’s never been hugged by a girl before 👉🏻👁️💧👄💧👁️

“I WANT A HUG TOO YN!”

“ME TOO!”

“YN look what you started!” Daichi yelled as a line had now formed in front of you, all the guys wanting a hug

Don’t worry YN, he could never be mad at you for long 🥰

I need a m!read (gn is fine but they are karasuno’s team) going against the Miya twins and them just being completely in love at first sight with them-like smitten-the reader as any type of spiker, a good one since that’s how they catch the twins attention pls 😩

I'm so sorry for getting to this so late, I've been super busy.

Jack Of All Trades

cw: 888 words (ayy angel number), m!reader, reader has he/him pronouns, reader gets called pretty boy, idk much ab volleyball so some things might be wrong,

a/n: this is short, i'm sorry. i've had no ideas lately :(

"There goes Hinata again." You sigh when you see Hinata's pale face, his pushed-out cheeks an indicated sign that he needs to puke. "I would've expected him to get over this sickness by now," Daichi sighed. He almost looks mad, but anyone who has been on the team since his first year could notice the reality: Daichi isn't mad, he's just disappointed.

Looking to the other side of the court, you could see Asahi, his back to the audience. He looks like he just got out of a fight and you sigh. He must've heard the audience again, people always say he's an old man, poor guy.

A sudden noise catches your eye. The door on the other side of the court opens and out walks the opposing team.

"Inarizaki." Kageyama whispers, his fist clenched. He looks down at his hand as if replaying the words Atsumu said to him. "You okay, goody two-shoes?" You tease him. Kageyama looks up and glares at you, his icy blue stare almost freezing you.

"Kageyama! Stop trying to start a fight!" Tanaka throws his arm around Kageyama's shoulders, his big smirk cast on his face. "You're gonna scare the ladies with that look." You roll your eyes. Tanaka, ever the lady pleaser. "Yeah, listen to Tanaka!" Hinata suddenly appears and throws himself onto Kageyama's back.

The sound of the two idiots fighting tuned out as you looked at the opposing team. Two of them catch your eyes, they look the exact same. Twins maybe?

"This is the team we're against? Doesn't seem like much." One of the twins speaks, his monotone voice throwing you off. Does he even want to be here? You shake your head and look back at your team, seeing what the twin meant.

"One more!" Daichi yells as he claps his hands. You cheer from the bench, hoping your teammates can pull this off. You've played in matches before, but for this match, Ukai wanted you to sit out and conserve your energy. Tadashi yells when Tsukishima goes to the back to serve.

The serve gets hit back to your team's court and everyone sighs, telling Tsukishima that he can do it next time. Ukai calls for a time-out and gathers everyone to give them a pep talk. "Y/n!" You turn your head towards the group and immediately your eyes set ablaze.

It's your turn.

Atsumu turns his head when he hears your name. "Oh, that's his name." He wonders aloud, his twin nodding his head. "Yeah, guess so." They both watch as you make your way onto the court and Hinata walks to the side. "Guess Shorty got switched." Suna nods his head over to Hinata, showing the twins what he sees.

"Show them who Karasuno is!" Sugawara shouts over the cheering, and everyone nods their head, screaming out 'Right!'

You make your way to Kageyama. "Let's do the trick." You whisper to him. Kageyama nods as the whistle blows. Suna serves and the ball comes flying to Daichi, who receives it easily. He calls out and every spiker gets ready.

All of you run at the same time, your arms to your backs, ready to hit the ball. Just like you practiced, you run and jump as high as you can.

Osamu looks over at you, ready to block the spike. It's easy, he thinks. He can read you like an open book. His plan is set in motion, he's going to block you and carry out the win like every year.

Your eyes look to the side of the court and Osamu moves his hands to that side, ready to bounce the ball back to your court. But, you hit the ball and it lands on the other side, the sound echoing throughout the now silent court. Everyone turns quiet. Are they seeing this right? Did you even hit the ball? How fast was that? Faster than the famous quick attack.

"Yeah!" You yell as you high-five Kageyama. What was that..? Atsumu swears that you didn't even hit the ball. How fast are you? A smirk reaches his lips, his eyes widen, and a blush makes its way to his cheeks.

"Hey, what was that?" Atsumu catches your attention. You look over at him and smile, "Better keep up," you glare, "If you wanna win." Your voice turns to a more sultry tone. Osamu butts into the conversation. "No, what was that?" He half-demands. You shrug and walk off to the middle of the court, stretching your arms.

"And the winner is Karasuno!" Cheers fill the court, and your teammates gather into a circle and almost pick you up. You made the winning hit, everyone's so proud. You can feel eyes on you; eyes that don't belong to your teammates.

You turn around and see the twins staring at you. You expected a glare, but instead, they were staring with amazement.

"Thank you for the game." Everyone shakes the other's hands. You make your way to the Miya twins and they both take one of your hands. "See ya later, pretty boy." Atsumu waves off and walks away with his team.

You look down into your hand and see two slips of paper. They each have a phone number written on them. On one of the papers, it reads, 'Call me, pretty boy.'

watching them at practice

He’s so excited to see that you’re in the bleachers. The rest of his teammates chuckle at his wide smile and how he jumps towards you. “Hey! Did you see me give that ace?” You nod and give him a good luck kiss before he returns to practice.

Hinata, Nishinoya, Tanaka, Tendo, Sugawara, Bokuto, Koganegawa

He simply acknowledges you with a nod of his head. He has a small smile on his face because even the fluttering of his heart can’t be contained. As a result of you being there, he might get distracted a bit more.

Osamu, Kita, Aran, Kenma, Daichi, Tsukishima, Akaashi, Aone, Kai, Kunimi, Shibaru, Suna, Iwaizumi

He notices you as soon as you enter but tries to play it cool. In his attempt at looking calm and collected, he misses his serve completely. “Out!” He groans and acts like you’re not there to witness it. Your soft giggle makes him blush even more.

Atsumu, Terushima, Oikawa, Kuroo, Lev, Futakuchi, Goshiki, Daisho, Akaashi

He’s so focused on volleyball that he doesn’t realize you come in until after practice. When he does see you, his eyes light up and he smiles like an idiot. “I saw your spike. That was super cool!” He gets so giddy inside when you gush over him.

Kageyama, Ushijima, Oikawa (again), Sakusa, Iwaizumi

FINISHED

BEST FRIENDS TO LOVERS

⇢ a rainy sunset by @filmcrystal (f, m, a, kinda unrequited love)

❝ your best friend would give you the world if he could, always sighing to you and staring at you with the most in-love look on his face, he’s devoted to you but you don’t see him the same way till your roommate dares to say something about it, then the way you see him starts to change faster than you thought. ❞

BROTHERS BEST FRIEND!AU

⇢ milestone by @1kook (m, f, highschool!au kinda)

❝ Part of you is touched that Jungkook really has been there for every milestone in your life. The other part wishes he hadn’t shown up looking so ridiculously sexy. ❞

❝ jungkook needs to touch you and he just can’t hold back anymore ❞

COFFEESHOP!AU

⇢ chasing butterflies by @ddaenggtan (f, m, college!au, nerd!jk)

❝ you never meant to be a jock in school. the volleyball team had just needed people and you were there and then you had a knack for it. you just happened to be good at it and went with it. similar to how you saw jeon jungkook in your friend’s orientation group and thought he was absolutely radiant and just went with it. for two years. you’ve spent the entire time pining from afar, mostly because you always seem to make a fool of yourself when he’s around, but also because jungkook is part of that exclusive crowd, the ones that you never can seem to penetrate: the weebs. that is, until your friends get sick of your hopeless pining and decide to do something about it. ❞

COLLEGE!AU

⇢ lowkey by @xpeachesncream (f, a, m, fake dating!au, nerd!jk, f2l, ☆)

⇢ How to Get a Guy by @taeshobipop (f, m, a, roommates!au, fuckboi!jk, e2l, ☆)

❝ Star basketball player Jeon Jungkook has a reputation as the ultimate fuckboi. He’s loved by everyone. Everyone. And you would have followed suit if he had not broken all your strict Roommate Rules™ within the first week of his stay. Jungkook, on the other hand, thinks you’re absolutely bizarre. But there’s a silver lining — Mr. Fuckboi here knows basketball captain Min Yoongi, your dreadfully clueless crush. He strikes up a deal with you: he’ll teach you the ways of flirting if you lessen your load of rules (so Jungkook can continue perusing his way through the ladies on campus). Yet the longer Jungkook spends with you, the more he realizes that maybe he doesn’t want to be the campus fuckboi anymore. The problem is, how does he prove that to you? ❞

⇢ Zipper. by @taeshobipop (m, fratboy!jk, kinda e2l, ☆)

❝ Jungkook isn’t your date to the annual BTS gala, but he’s the only one available to take you dress shopping. So when a zipper emergency arises in the boutique’s tiny dressing room, who’s there to help you? ❞

⇢ chasing butterflies by @ddaenggtan (f, m, coffee shop!au, nerd!jk) ↑

⇢ catharsis. by @junghelioseok (m, fwb!au, feat. jm)

⇢ I Heard a Rumor. by @taeshobipop (f, m, campus crush!jk, f2l)

❝ One slip of a finger, and you realize you’ve liked an Insta photo of college hotshot Jeon Jungkook…from two years ago. You manage to unlike it within seconds, except it’s too late — Damn Kim Namjoon and his lightning-fast eyes. Do not tell a soul, you hiss. The man merely smirks. Next thing you know, a rumor is spread throughout campus. Y/n likes Jungkook…and now he knows. ❞

⇢ all that glitters by @aquagustd (fuckboi!jk, read warnings, ☆)

❝ when the sweet, innocent nerd asks for your help to woo all the girls, you didn’t think that you would be his first victim. ❞

⇢ here i come by @chateautae (m)

❝ tipsy hide-and-seek turns into more when you and jeon jungkook choose the same closet to hide in. ❞

❝ Jungkook has been serving his time as a genie for the last 2000 years, unfortunately stuck in a lamp for the last 200 years before he is woken from his slumber by a beautiful woman who somehow activates his lamp while making a wish that ends up letting him out. After eons of having to bend over backwards to make the desires of evil individuals from power hungry dictators to spoiled princesses come into fruition, he’s updated his contract to be more choosy over who the lamp allows to be his master. It comes to his great surprise that this woman was able to make the lamp work and that she only yearns to be loved and no longer be lonely. But all of the wishes he grants now have time constraints, another caveat he added to the contract, and he wonders what life would be like if he had never made that stupid rule. Because, as the week progresses, he finds himself falling deeper and deeper into her spell, pondering what it would be like if he never had to stop playing the role of her man. ❞

STRANGERS TO LOVERS

Traitor

Suna x reader ft Atsumu being annoying lol

Suna was supposed to hate you. Atsumu had made that clear to him. You played for the Inarizaki girl’s volleyball team, their setter to be specific, and you were apparently now Atsumu’s nemesis.

It’d started after you were announced to be the number one setter in Japan for girls your age. Then, the comparisons of yours Atsumu’s styles got matched up in almost every single article about him. It was a big deal, having the top setters for both boys and girls was an impressive boast for Inarizaki. You were like Atsumu in that you brought out the best in your hitters. But where Atsumu demanded his hitters rise to the occasion of his sets and implied they shouldn’t play if they couldn’t, you made your hitters know that you believed they could rise to the occasion of their sets and that you trusted them to do so.

This made you a nuisance in Atsumu’s eyes. What had really set him off now as he ranted to Suna during their break in class was that you’d teasingly called him a try-hard during the last practice match between your teams.

Suna had snickered at the comment, much to Atsumu’s chagrin, so now he was determined to make Suna see how utterly evil you were.

“She is so aggravating! If her head wasn’t so far up her team captain’s ass, she’d see that she’s much better than all the girls on her team and should let them know it! She doesn’t push her players, but I’m the loser?” Atsumu ranted.

“Try-hard. She called you a try-hard,” Suna deadpanned.

“Oh whatever! She’s such a bitch!” Atsumu didn’t even notice the glares sent his way at that word.

Suna rolled his eyes, “You just said she is better than every girl on her team. Sounds to me like you like her.”

Atsumu shook his head, and vehemently denied such an idiotic notion. Suna felt relief wash over him as he could see that Atsumu really didn’t have any romantic interest towards you. Not that Suna did, he just thought you were super pretty is all.

Class began again, and Atsumu turned to face the board grumbling about Suna being a traitor and on your side.

Suna frowned, not wanting to be bothered by such a stupid issue. Was he on your side though? There really wasn’t a ‘your side’ because this feud seemed to be completely in Atsumu’s head. You didn’t pay him much mind, you didn’t pay Suna much either and that bothered him more than it should. He knew you the best of the second years. You two weren’t friends, per se, but you always smiled at him in the halls, smiles that most definitely did not make his heart stutter.

Suna sighed inwardly, there was really no point in thinking about you so much. So why was he?

Atsumu continued to bitch incessantly about you on the walk from class to the practice. Suna muttered responses in your defense, to which Atsumu just got more dramatic and annoying in his tirade.

“Speak of the devil, huh?” Atsumu yelled as he saw you of course standing outside the boy’s changing area.

You raised your hand in greeting to them and smiled. Suna caught the blush this small gesture put on Atsumu’s cheeks, ignoring that his own also felt warm. Weird reaction for a guy to have to someone he supposedly hates, Suna thought.

“What are you doing outside our changing room you perv?” Atsumu huffed as they came up to you.

You rolled your eyes and turned to Suna. Having your gaze on him made his heart race. That never really happened. Maybe he was just nervous about the glare Atsumu was sending him. That had to be it.

“Suna, I was wondering if you would be wiling to teach me blocking techniques after your practice today? Read-blocking is the weakest part of my game, and you’re the best of the best when it comes to that. I’ll buy you whatever dinner you want afterwards!” You bowed at the end of your mini-speech and this made Suna turn completely red.

He coughed and put a hand to his face, trying to cover up. Atsumu grabbed your shoulder and turned you to him as he shook you.

“Listen ya wench! You can’t just come up and steal my best blocker! Suna is my friend and he is going to help me after practice!” Atsumu had never wanted Suna’s help before, but he wasn’t going to let you swoop in and get Suna even more on your side.

You grabbed the hand that was still on your shoulder and plucked it off.

“You don’t even need help, your blocking is great,” you huffed and glared up at Atsumu.

Atsumu’s face instantly reddened as well at your compliment. Jesus what were doing to these boys?

You turned back to Suna, worry etching it’s way onto your face. You bit your lip and avoided his eyes. Suna blinked as he realized you were nervous to ask him this. He caught your eye and smiled as gently as he could to reassure you. A light blush now dusted your cheeks and Suna felt a thrill at his smile doing that.

“Sure I’ll help. I’m all about spreading knowledge and what not. Also, I can’t say no to free ramen,” he gave you a now lopsided grin to come off more laid back than he felt.

His heart was hammering at the idea of time just the two of you.

“I like free ramen too!” Atsumu yelled.

Suna swung at him. Not hard, just hit his shoulder in an effort to get him to go the fuck away and leave you two be.

“I’m not buying you free ramen try-hard,” you taunted as you stuck your tongue out at Atsumu.

Before he could really reply, Kita came out of the changing room to see what all the commotion was. Atsumu and Suna instantly stood straight up and went silent. You snickered at their reaction to their captain. Kita raised a brow, waved to you, and went on to the gym.

“Ok well, I’ll see you after practice. Thanks again Suna. I really appreciate this,” You gave him a quick side hug before scurrying off to your own practice.

* * *

Suna was using any excuse he could to get his hands on you. Your form needed fixing and the easiest way to do so to stand behind you and adjust you himself. Sure, he didn’t need to also run his hands up your arms, but they were just so soft and it helped emphasize his point of extending your reach wide. The way you shivered under his touch made his mind go to bad places.

Suna wasn’t really that promiscuous despite his reputation. He wasn’t shy about pursuing a girl he was interested in physically, but a relationship hadn’t really crossed his mind. Well it hadn’t until now.

Along with practicing, you two were also talking quite a lot. Suna was good at making conversation when he wanted to be and boy did he want to with you. Hearing about your interests was giving him butterflies for some weird reason. Every tiny fact about yourself you gave him got instantly ingrained in his psyche, pushing away less important knowledge like math.

Atsumu forced Osamu to spy on your extra practice with him. They were looking through the gym in a way they thought was sneaky, but really you and Suna had noticed them right away but didn’t pay it any mind.

“I see that Suna is heavily flirting with the girls’ team setter but I don’t see the big deal about it ‘Tsumu,” Osamu’s patience was wearing thinner and thinner as he stomach got emptier by the second, “what do you like her or something?”

Atsumu scoffed loudly, “No! It’s just that she is sinking her demoness claws into our friend and I won’t stand for it! She called me a try-hard twice now!”

“First of all, you are a try-hard. Second of all, who cares if she’s annoying or not if Suna likes her?”

“Suna shouldn’t like her!”

It was obvious Suna did like you.

You two had finished up during the twin’s argument and were now rolling up the net. Suna was doing most of the work, a shock to everyone, mostly to impress you. Once everything was put away and you two were grabbing your bags to go, you thought more about your offer in exchange for this training.

“So where do you want to get ramen?” You asked, blushing now at the realization that you had basically asked him on a date. But it wasn’t a date. It was for volleyball practice. Suna wouldn’t have said yes to date, even if you maybe wished he would.

Suna noticed the blush and it made him gain confidence, “I’ll show you the teams’ favorite spot. Also, you don’t actually have to pay for me. Dinner with a pretty girl is reward enough.”

At this you turned completely red and started sputtering that of course you had to repay him for the nuisance of staying after with you. Suna didn’t see it as a nuisance at all.

Suna just laughed, “You look cute when you’re all apologetic but really, I want to go get ramen with you.”

This instantly shut you up. Unable to respond properly, you just gingerly reached out for his hand to test the waters. Suna smiled and immediately intertwined his fingers with yours to lead you out of the gym.

Atsumu, seeing you two coming their way now shoved Osamu into the bushes to hide.

Suna and you walked hand in hand out of the gym, much to Atsumu’s dismay.

“Lock up Miyas!” Suna yelled over his shoulder as you passed the bushes they were ‘hiding’ in.

Atsumu stood up and brushed himself off.

“Traitor!” He screamed at Suna’s back, who promptly just flipped him off.

Suna didn’t mind being on your side.

Hiii! I love the Valentines Day event idea! I was wanting to pick Denki Kaminari or Akaashi Keiji as mine (but you can do whichever works better for you!)

I'm a 5’2” African American gal with black braided hair. I'm a Pisces & isfp! Personality wise, I'm caring, honest, friendly, outgoing, affectionate, smart and bubbly! I'm shy when it comes to talking to new people, (but physical touch is my love language! I love giving hugs so much😊) I wouldn't call myself an ambivert because I hang by myself a lot, but I’m naturally an introvert and selectively an extrovert.

My hobbies are reading, writing, baking, listening to music and drawing!

(Also my birthday is in a few days 🎉) I love your work so much! Thank you in advance! 🎀

𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐀𝐊𝐀𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐈…

are "just friends"!

- you both swear that you're just friends and there's nothing going on between you two. no one believes you though. - why would they believe you when you two often liked spending time on your own but since you've met you do that less, but not in the typical sense. now you spend time alone together, doing the things you want to do separately but in each others company, not even talking if you don't feel like it. - people don't believe you're just friends when you run up to him after volleyball matches and hug him in front of everyone. - you hug keiji a lot. whenever you see him and whenever you say bye. he's always welcoming to your hugs which surprises a lot of people. - he loves to read whatever it is that you write and to see what you draw as well. - you're both super smart so you can always talk about whatever it is you want knowing that the other will know what you're talking about and get what you mean. - akaashi can get overwhelmed by things and can overthink a lot. with how caring you are you understand and always support him, quelling his worries and distracting him. - you'll bake his favourite things to distract him too. - you and keiji are honest people, especially to bokuto. he'll often point out bokuto's idiotic antics and call him out on it and you'll back him up. - akaashi is much taller than you, at like 6'0, he'll make comments about your height on occasion saying things like 'have you been here they whole time?' 'i didn't see you there' etc.

i hope you enjoy this and happy birthday! <3

valentine's day event

When you tell him you used to have a crush on him (pt.Two) (Oikawa ver.)

Pairing: Oikawa x reader

Wordcount: about 4300 words (Didnt I say this won´t be as long? oops)

Genre: fluff

A/N: I haven´t proof-read this yet, so please excuse my mistakes. Also, I don´t know if I am happy with this or not. I thought the idea is cute but i am not sure if I am happy with the way I´ve done it. Anyway, it´s 6 AM, I have an important presentation today and isnetad of sleeping I´ve wrote this. I need to overthink my priorities.

Ever since that call in which you confessed that you had feelings for him, there was a strange tension between you that neither of you knew what to do about

You still texted, still called – the amount of time you spent with one another didn’t change but it felt like the “what if” was on your minds constantly, even if you didn’t know that was the case for the other

You were still slightly bothered about his comment about him not breaking your heart while he was actively imagining what the future would have looked like if one of you confessed

Would you be with him right now? Would you have left Japan with him? Or would he have stayed? Technically, there were plenty of opportunities in Japan for him. Maybe it would be the same as now but would the two of you be in a long distance relationship? The thought didn’t bother him as much if it was with you.

Ultimately neither of you knew what to do about it

Maybe it was time to move on

You took a shaky breath as you took one last look into the mirror. He should be here any second to pick you up, so there wasn’t much you could do about your outfit anyway.

By he you meant your date. Yes, you had a date and no he wasn’t your longtime crush. Besides the fact that Oikawa wasn’t even on the same continent as you which made it physical impossible to go on a date, there was also the problem that he didn’t seem to like you back.

After a lot of thinking, you got to the conclusion that Oikawa didn’t mean anything by it when he said he wouldn’t have broken your heart. He probably was just reassuring you that he would have been gentle with rejecting you and still would have been friends with you afterwards.

If he meant anything else by it, he would have said so. You knew him well enough to know that he was rather cunning and that his words didn’t always reflect his true thoughts. He wasn’t just a silly idiot who loved volleyball a little too much. No, he was rather smart and knew how to charm people.

But this was different. There was no reason for him to be pretentious, no reason to talk in riddles. He could have just said “too bad, I liked you too”.

He wasn’t exactly shy in that way, so why would he start now?

It was almost funny how the day after you came to that conclusion, a boy from your class asked you out. You had talked to him a few times due to sitting next to each other or even having projects together.

He was kind and polite, truly a good guy. He also was easy on the eyes and had the sweetest smile. Still, you always thought of him as a fellow student since you never really became too personal with one another.

So, it came as a surprise when he suddenly asked you on a date to the movies. You hesitated but eventually decided that this might be a sign.

Your phone that rested in your hand vibrated and your gaze immediately shifted to the bright screen.

It was a text message. A reply from Oikawa.

You didn’t tell him about the date since you knew he was too busy anyway to help you, so instead you had freaked out about it to a girl friend of yours who matched your excitement and provided great advice.

You still couldn’t stop yourself from sending him a mirror picture when you were ready for your date.

It was just the picture and a “Do I look cute?” with a winking emoji. You weren’t embarrassed about it since such texted were normal between you too. You always made sure that the other knew that they were attractive, not that Oikawa needed any more reassurance.

Oikawa: super cute ;) why are you dressed up though? Having a girl’s night?

You still blushed whenever he complimented you, which he knew and used to make fun of.

Cutie: No, I actually have a date. It´s the first one and I want to make sure I look my best :)

Oikawa: What? A date? And you only tell me only now? I thought we tell each other everything. I am not sure where I stand with you :<<

You chuckled as you read his overdramatic reply.

Other than you, Oikawa wasn’t laughing; he wasn’t even smiling. A deep frown was present on his face as he looked down at the device on which your recent picture was still shown.

You definitely looked cute and to be honest, his heart skipped a beat when he saw the picture you´ve sent him.

Now that he knew that you looked this good for another guy, he couldn’t really appreciate it anymore.

He knew this day would come, of course it would. You were beautiful and in your own unique way absolutely charming. He was pretty sure the only reason why you weren’t snatched up in high school was because at one point you were pretty much known as the girl of the Aoba Joshai volleyball club and most guys were intimidated by the players that seemed to be always around you.

It wasn’t like that was exactly their intention, but it just happened naturally that you would spend pretty much every moment in school with them. It wasn’t easy to ask someone out when behind them stood three towering guys who looked intimidating if you didn’t know them.

Anyway, he knew this was coming but he still wasn’t prepared. He just came back from training and actually planned to ring you up but obviously you would be busy.

Cutie: Anyway, he is here so I have to go now :)

Oikawa: where is he taking you anyway?

He decided to ignore your previous message as he felt strangely inclined to know exactly what was going on where you were.

Cutie: To the movies :p

Oikawa: How lame. That’s so cliché. You only deserve the best, princess. Don’t settle for such an uncreative guy :(

Yeah, he didn’t sound jealous at all.

Cutie: You mean someone like you who literally only goes to a restaurant or the park as a first date?

You knew him so well but unfortunately you got him there. To be fair, his previous relationships weren’t that serious, so he never felt like he needed to go all out for a girl. If he had the chance to take you on a date though, he would make sure to come up with something super romantic.

Oikawa: This isn´t about me. Stop reflecting. Your date is lazy :<<

Cutie: As much I would love to hear you complaining even more about my date you don’t even know, he is here and I have to go for real now. I will text you later xxx

Oikawa frowned once more. He knew it wasn’t possible to completely make you forget about your date but he still had somehow hope that he could have kept you on your phone longer.

He sighed.

Your date and you made some nice small talk as you were driving over to the cinema. Once you arrived you got your tickets, some popcorn and before you knew it you were sitting at your seats.

“I´m going to the bathroom real quick before the movie starts. I will be right back” your date excused himself and you nodded with a small smile.

It was nice. It didn’t feel exactly like a date though. Your nerves calmed down which you were thankful for but somehow you missed the spark.

Shouldn’t there be a spark?

Your thoughts were interrupted when your phone vibrated once more. It did that ever since your left your apartment. You furrowed your eyebrows as you picked up the device and turned on the screen.

You weren’t surprised at what you found.

Oikawa: So is he nice? How do you know him anyway?

Oikawa: Are you already there? I hope you arrived safe and without anything inappropriating happening, young lady

Oikawa: Helllllloooooo? Where are you? I am worried he kidnapped you

Oikawa: Or are you ignoring me? That would be so rude :<<<

Oikawa: If he does anything you don’t like tell me and I will come and beat him up for you. I don’t care how far away I am.

Oikawa: Cutie? Princess? Best friend? Cutest best friend ever? Y/NNNNN?

You groaned as you read all those random texts, especially because you weren’t sure what he was thinking. You considered ignoring him or even turning off your phone completely but somehow you didn’t want to. Maybe you were so desperate for the male that you even liked his attention while being on a date with someone else.

Did that make you a bad person? Probably.

Cutie: What the hell are you doing? I am fine. He hasn’t kidnapped me yet but if that happens you will be the first to know

Oikawa: Don´t joke about that. It´s a real fear of mine :(

Cutie: of course, it is. Btw, I am not ignoring you. I am on a date. Are you really trying to third wheel on my date while being on another continent? That´s even a bit much for you.

Oikawa: Well, I am pretty ambitious and as you can see it works. You text with me instead of paying attention to your date. So, who is the one third wheeling? :)

You blushed as you realized how right he was and there wasn’t exactly any hiding it. Your date still wasn’t back, so you weren’t exactly ignoring him, which you wouldn’t do anyway because you weren’t rude but still.

Cutie: He is at the bathroom. I am not ignoring him for you

Oikawa: He left you alone? If that isnt a red flag, I don’t know what is

Cutie: the only red flag here is your trolling as my best friend. I see him coming back. Bye.

Oikawa: Don´t go!!! Tell me what´s happening. By now I am a vital part of this date. I have any right to know.

You rolled your eyes as you read the last text before putting your phone into your lap.

“You okay?” The male smiled as he sat down in his seat once more. Your eyes left the device as you gave him a bright smile of your own.

“Yeah, everything is good. I am excited for the movie” you answered, choosing to not address that your best friend was trying to invite himself to your date.

“I am glad you are. I´ve actually waited forever for it to come out. So what´s your favorite movie genre?” once more the two of you ended up having small talk, patiently waiting for the movie to start.

Sooner than later the movie started, and the theater grew rather quiet. There weren’t that many people to begin with but now everyone was paying attention to the movie, which you were supposed to do as well.

Instead, your gaze flickered back to your phone that you put on silent due to Oikawa not giving up. You couldn’t help but wonder what he was texting you but at the same time you couldn’t be so rude

Your mind couldn’t shut up though, trying to figure out Oikawa´s intentions. There was a high chance he just wanted to annoy you. You remembered that he once spied on Iwaizumi when he was going on date. He forced you to come along and as ridiculous as it sounded, it was actually kinda fun. Until Iwaizumi spotted you two and was ready to beat up Oikawa while you would get a good scolding.

But you also felt that small spark of hope lit up in your chest, a feeling you knew too well as it came back over and over again ever since you´ve realized you liked your best friend.

Sneaking a peak wouldn’t hurt, right?

You tried to do it in secret by shielding the light of your phone by pulling your jacket into your lap.

Oikawa: The movie started, right?

Oikawa: Wanna stream a movie together later this week? I kinda miss our movie nights :(

Cutie: Yeah, it´s good :)

Oikawa: Must be if you rather text me instead of watching ;)

Cutie: okay, I am going back to ignoring you

Oikawa: wait

Oikawa: don’t

Oikawa: come back to me. Don’t leave me

Cutie: calm down, idiot

Oikawa: your idiot <3

Cutie: Ehh

Oikawa: I should change your contact name to meanie and I was just about to give you great advice :(

Cutie: Go ahead :D but what advice are you talking about exactly? :o

Oikawa: Advice to keep your innocence

Cutie: I am not 12 anymore

Oikawa: Yeah, but this is your first date and I know all the dirty thoughts a guy has when he takes a girl to the movie theater, you know a dark, big space.

Cutie: Too much information. Maybe it´s just you. He hadn´t done anything. He is a nice guy. I don’t think he will try anything

Oikawa: and that, my darling, is exactly what he wants you to think

Cutie: Stop trying to scare me

Oikawa: just call me if he tries to kiss you

Cutie: maybe I want him to kiss me :p

Oikawa: do you really?

You frowned at his last question. Your heartbeat quickened and suddenly you felt like the light hearted tone of your text conversation got lost.

Your turned off the screen of your phone and straightened yourself, eyes now fixed on what was happening before you.

You tried to concentrate, you really did but Oikawa´s words didn’t want to leave your mind. What would you do? Would you kiss him? Did you want to do this with a guy like him? Would you then feel a spark? Or would it just be a bland kiss?

You shock your head, you shouldn’t worry. That won´t happen. Oikawa was a drama queen. He was just trying to scare you. Maybe he was offended that you´ve never told him about the date or maybe it was because he felt protective as your best friend.

Or maybe he liked you.

It didn’t matter because you wouldn’t do anything about it anyway.

You left your phone alone and for the next 30 minutes you actually managed to enjoy the movie and follow it´s storyline.

That’s when a romantic scene appeared on the screen and you visibly stiffened.

You felt awkward. It was almost like watching a sex scene in a movie with your family.

You flinched when you suddenly felt a hand touch yours. You gulped, your eyes shifting over to your own hand before you looked up. Your date turned himself to you, staring at you with a look you couldn’t read.

He wouldn’t, would he?

“Y/N” he whispered your name in a way that made you want to run away. You froze as the boy suddenly leaned closer. You appreciated that he wasn’t ambushing you and actually gave you time to react, showing that he wasn’t trying to force himself on you. Still, you couldn’t think right at that moment.

He leaned closer and closer, slowly closing his eyes.

Oh, he would.

Oikawa was bouncing his leg as he sat on his bed restlessly. He hated that he couldn’t do anything. You haven’t answered for almost half an hour. He knew he had no right to feel jealous or even prevent anything from happening between you and that boy but he was selfish in that way.

He was enlightened and a bit smug when he got you texting him back. It gave him confidence to know that he was on your mind instead of whatever loser you were dating.

Maybe he was the loser. He hated the guy without knowing a thing about him.

He took a deep breath as he suddenly regretted that he had never said anything. He didn’t have the right to feel jealous but he could have prevented all of this by confessing to you when you were still in high school.

And right this moment he couldn’t help but wonder if he wasn’t doing the same mistake once more.

His phone vibrated and he immediately looked down.

His eyes widened at the massage.

Cutie: He tried to kiss me.

A mix of anger and sadness surged through him until his mind finally processed the entire message.

Tried.

As in, you didn’t let him?

You flew to the bathroom. You weren’t proud but when he had leaned in you panicked and before his lips could meet yours you pretty much jumped up and told him that you needed to use the bathroom.

You didn’t even wait for an answer.

To make your embarrassment complete, you immediately texted Oikawa. You felt like a teenager. You should have just told him that you didn’t want to kiss him instead of running away. He seemed considered. He wouldn’t have forced you.

Not to forget that you were anxious about Oikawa´s respond. Would he make fun of you? Would he think you were childish? You buried your face in your hands with a grown.

Your pity party was interrupted when Oikawa called you. It wasn’t just a normal call. He tried to facetime you. What the hell?

You hesitated but ended up picking up.

“Hey, Tooru” you said almost too casual as you weren’t even sure what you were doing. You were in a bathroom stall, hiding from your date because he tried to kiss you and now you were facetiming your best friend. It couldn’t get any weirder.

You looked at your screen at which Oikawa was now displayed. Your heart automatically skipped a beat. His hair was slightly tousled. He was wearing a simple black shirt that you have seen him in countless of time but you still never failed to appreciate how handsome he looked even in the most simple things.

But what really caught your attention was his expression. His face almost looked tense. His mouth was formed in a frown and his eyed held a serious glint that you usually only saw whenever he was on the court.

“Please tell me you didn’t kiss him” you were surprised at the urging tone of Oikawa´s voice. He almost sounded desperate.

“What? I mean, I-. No, I didn’t kiss him” you answered, your cheeks started to turn red. “I am sorry, It was stupid to text you like this. I mean, you warned me to but gosh, this was so embarrassing! I literally ran away! I should have just said no and kept my cool. Maybe you are right and I am still a kid when it comes to this stuff. Why am I even saying all this? You will never let me live that down, will you?” Your nerves got the better of you, making you brabble.

Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up

“Fuck, no, I am glad. I mean, it´s definitely a nice confession story for sure. That is if what I am about to do works out” he finally interrupted you. He clearly was more relaxed now. Instead his demeanor became almost shy as he shifted his eyes away from the screen for a second before his brown eyes met your e/c ones once more.

“Confession story? What are you-?”

“I like you. I like you so much and I am an idiot for only saying it when you decide to go on a date. I know you said that you don’t like me anymore but I know I wouldn’t be able to move on if I didn’t say anything”

After he said “I like you” you weren’t able to comprehend whatever he was saying after. All that rang in your ears were those three words.

Oikawa watched your reaction. He wasn’t sure if it was good or bad when you became completely silent and looked like you´ve just seen a ghost but this couldn’t turn any more embarresing, so he gave you time to process his words.

“Are you serious? You mean it?” Deep down you knew that he would never joke about something like that.

“Yes, what about you? Any chance to revive your past feelings for me?” he sounded so vunerable when he said those words. A small smile played on his lips. A smile you easily reciprocated.

“Yeah, actually they have never died down. I was just too much of a coward to confess directly to you. I mean, you are you and a long-distance relationship isn’t ideal as well”

“What do you mean I am me? Don´t you dare be insecure about yourself. You are gorgeous and so goddamn cute. Do you know how hard it was not to confess to you when we used to spend so much time together?”

“I wished you had” you joked, “I like you too, Tooru” you had to hold back tears as you looked at your phone. You waited so long for this moment and now that it was here you felt overwhelmed. You just wished he was here. You wanted to hug him, kiss him – just be close to him.

“Don´t look like that, sweetheart. God, if I was with you right now I would kiss you and not let you go for the rest of the night but I guess, I have to wait a bit longer until you visit me” You let out a chocked giggle as you felt so much affection right now that you didn’t know what to do with it.

“So you gonna be my girlfriend? No more dates with random guys who don’t know what a good date is?” His teasing grin made you fall in love even more.

“Yeah, I only want to go on uncreative dates with you from now on” you joked

“Hey! I told you I would do better nowadays. Especially when it is with you” he pouted playfully and you let out another laugh. This was typical Oikawa.

Your Tooru.

“Anyway, now that that´s settled, how about you show me the dude who tried to kiss my sweet girlfriend?” he spat, a scowl forming on his face.

You rolled your yes. He was truly an idiot.

“I wasn’t your girlfriend at that moment and besides, you aren’t exactly intimidating while being on a phone screen”

“Hey! As my girlfriend you are supposed to support me!”

One month later

“Tooru!” You jumped in his arms when you finally reached him. Your plane just landed and you swore you´ve never been that impatient about going through the process of getting to the gate where the people would wait for their friends and family.

After all, that would be the first time you would see your boyfriend in person.

He wrapped his strong arms around you, pressing your smaller body tightly against his. You had hugged him countless of times, but this felt different. More loving, warmer, more meaningful.

“Finally, you don’t know how long I´ve waited until I could finally shower you with all the love you deserve” the male whispered right into your ear, softly nipping at it.

A shiver went down your back and your cheeks were tinted red within seconds. You knew he was forward with his affection but you didn’t expect this.

“I missed you too. I couldn’t wait to finally come here. This was the longest month of my entire life” you admitted, tightening your arms that were around his neck, burying your nose deeper in his shoulder.

You felt his chest rumble softly as he let you a chuckle, his hand softly squeezing your hips.

“Missed you too. I even had a hard time to concentrate in practice. You wouldn’t believe how mean the other guys were about it” you didn’t need to see his face to know he was pouting. “but now I don´t have to miss you anymore, so show me your beautiful face”

The setter pulled away, bringing one hand to your chin to make you look up at him. Your blush deepened as you peered directly into his handsome face. His eyes were slightly hooded as his typical smirk played on his lips.

You couldn’t avert your eyes even for a second.

“You gonna run away, pretty girl?” He teased as he slowly leaned down. You couldn’t answer, only slightly shaking your head as you waited for the moment his lips would meet yours

Your eyes slowly closed and soon enough his warm lips met your soft ones. The kiss emitted the familiar spark in your chest that you always felt whenever you were just thinking about him.

Your grip on his shoulder tightened as you felt the need to steady yourself while getting lost in the kiss. Oikawa was a good kisser. While you were pretty sure that gentle wasn’t his go to method, he chose to kiss you slow and deep, taking your breath away.

Literally, which was the only reason the two of you pulled apart. He leaned his forehead against yours. A satisfied sigh leaving his lips as he just enjoyed the moment.

You kept your eyes closed as you tried to concentrate on the feeling of him.

“I love you” he mumbled, only for your ears to hear.

Your eyes snaped open, meeting his as he was already gazing at you. The usually playful glint was replaced by an affectionate one that told you everything you needed to know.

“I love you too, Tooru” you replied without any hesitation.

“I wanted to tell you when I first confessed but then I thought it would be so much nicer if I could kiss you right afterwards” he smirked, softly cupping your face with one hand as his eyes traced over your adorable face that started to resemble a cherry.

“Then what are you waiting for?” You teased shyly, hoping he would just kiss you once more.

And he did.

And you kissed back.

NEW X-MEN: THE ANIMATED SERIES - SEASON 2, EPISODE 12 (PART 1 OF 2)

We open on a beach, underneath the sunset, where Laura and Sofia are playing volleyball against Julian and Noriko, “X-Men vs X-Men in Training”, while Cessily, Roxy, Sooraya, and Brian are playing frisbee. The Cuckoos are seated in lined-up beach chairs, sunbathing.

Everyone is excited to have completed their first school year! Julian and Sofia were once again voted king and queen of the dance, and have subsequently been barred from being voted for next year.

SOFIA: “So unfair.”

JULIAN: “This is America! Where’s the democracy?!”

Cessily and Roxy wonder if this means they may have a chance, while Laura imagines Dallas and Victor may make that a problem.

CESSILY: “Really? I didn’t even know they were dating.”

SOFIA, frustrated: “They are, and Dallas has blown up since he started creating content with his shadow. You know I gave him the idea to do so and he hasn’t even credited me.”

LAURA: “Are you mad because he’s growing faster than you did?”

SOFIA: “It’s male privilege!”

NORIKO: “Said the girl dating the living embodiment of it.”

JULIAN: “Said the girl who can’t find a guy at all.”

Noriko cringes momentarily, in disbelief he’d say that of all things after everything, and spikes the ball right at his head a super speed, knocking him down.

Sooraya doesn’t care about any of this, as her mom flew in last night and is on her way to the Washingtons’, thanking Roxy again. Brian is just relieved he didn’t flunk, a sentiment Noriko echoes.

Aggravated by Noriko’s spike, Julian brings his TK into the game, with Sofia following suit with her winds. Things very quickly escalate as the sky is filled with flashing lights and sand is blown all over the place.

BRIAN, coughing on sand: “Why…do we keep…letting the fight idiots compete?!"

Eventually, the four players lose control of the ball and it’s sent flying off the court, nearly taking off one of the Cuckoos’ heads.

SOPHIE: “Watch it, dorks!”

Julian flies over to retrieve the ball and asks what happened to trying to be their friends. Ms. Frost invited them out here too, so they should come play.

The Cuckoos exchange sunglasses-covered glances before Phoebe delivers a decisive, “No thank you.”

Julian shrugs whatever and heads back to the game. Roxy says they should be winding down anyway. Start their bonfire, roast some marshmallows, and then head to the Grindstone for the party.

Sofia is excited about the party, but sad that it will be the last time she sees most of her friends for three months, as only she, Laura, Julian, and Noriko are staying at the institute over the Summer, while Roxy, Cessily, and Sooraya are all going to stay with Roxy’s parents, Brian is heading back to Puerto Rico, and all of the students who don’t have welcoming families are having chaperoned vacations sponsored by Ms. Frost, Captain Britain, and Archangel. Sofia and Laura are staying for their jobs, Julian isn’t about to go anywhere without Sofia after finally getting her back, and, as Noriko’s said before, she goes where these jerks go.

As the group ends their games, beeping sounds come from Sofia and Laura's bags. Sofia flies them over to them so they can check what's going on. Sofia apologizes to the others that they're going to be a little late to the party.

CESSILY: "What's going on?"

Sofia and Laura look at everyone else smugly.

LAURA: "X-Men business."

In an underground base, two U-Men are guarding the entrance.

U-MAN #1: “Did you hear the rumor going around?”

U-MAN #2: “About Jack’s drinking problem? Yeah, I’m really rooting for the guy.”

U-MAN #1: “What? No? I’m talking about Mr. Sublime. People are saying he’s dead.”

U-MAN #2, snorting: “That’s just like big government. Taking good men prisoner for fighting against the status quo and executing them in secret.”

U-MAN #1: “Right? I don’t even care if it’s true or not. Soon as we get ourselves some X-genes, we’ll put these fascists down for good.”

U-MAN #2: “Hell yeah.”

BEAT

U-MAN #1: “So does Jack really have a drinking problem? Are his wife and kid okay?”

Before the other U-Man can give an answer, the entrance is blown open and the two are both sent flying. One of them calls out that whoever’s there is gonna regret that. As the other one sees who it is, he isn’t so sure about that.

Standing before them are all 8 of the New X-Men: Cyclops, Emma Frost, Kitty Pryde, Sunspot, Iceman, Magik, Wolverine, and Wind Dancer.

U-MAN #1: “Um…we surrender?”

A powerful wind carries the two soldiers off, slamming them into a wall and knocking them out.

Sofia looks to Cyclops for approval. He nods back at her.

CYCLOPS: "To me, my X-Men!"

The X-Men charge further into the base and split up, each fighting a group of U-Men and saving a Mutant prisoner.

As Cyclops fights through a team in hand-to-hand combat, as Mutant powers have no effect on their armor, Emma simply stands to the side, checking her makeup, and thanking Scott for letting her come along despite still being on leave. She didn't want to miss seeing the last of these losers' cells destroyed. As a downed soldier tries to take a shot at Scott, Emma drops a ceiling tile on his head with telekinesis.

Wolverine and Kitty are fighting back to back, efficiently and brutally taking down all of their opponents in a flash. Kitty tells Laura this reminds her of some old scrapes she got into with Logan, while Laura points out that if Kitty wanted to, she could be a more effective killer than either of them.

KITTY: "Uh…thank you?"

Iceman and Magik are completely unstoppable, Bobby using the same trick to freeze the U-Men from the inside as last time, while Yana is simply snapping her fingers and turning them into bricks, all while humming the Mario Bros theme. Sunspot follows behind them.

ROBERTO, sighing: "This must be how James felt."

Finally, we see Wind Dancer on her own, fighting off U-Men both hand-to-hand and with her winds. Her power doesn't affect other people; it affects everything around them.

With all the U-Men down, Sofia reaches the U-Men's final prisoner, a little girl who looks like an old lady.

Sofia, feet off the ground, opens her cell, smiles, and offers her a hand, saying the X-Men are here to take her home.

ERNST, in awe: "Are you an angel?"

Sofia giggles, grinning even wider with her eyes closed, as Ernst takes her hand.

As the X-Men reassemble and make their way out with the rescued Mutants, Scott orders Illyana to undo her spells, something which takes an additional glare from Kitty to actually get her to do, and compliments Wind Dancer on her performance. For her first op, she did well.

SOFIA: "You really think so?"

CYCLOPS: "When Professor Xavier arrives tomorrow, I think his vision of the future will be brighter than ever."

Hard cut to a bird-themed Shi'ar ship crashing into Earth in the middle of some mountains, blowing it up.

From the wreckage, a badly injured Charles Xavier crawls out, barely able to stand.

XAVIER, in a daze: "I must warn them…or the world is doomed."

In Scott’s office, he and Emma discuss their roster of teachers. Today is Beast’s last day here, with Forge back to start getting his own equipment sent off. Only problem is Forge isn’t actually interested in teaching classes, so as far as the science classes go, they’ll have to hand them off to Kitty, and hope she can juggle them with everything else.

Dazzler and Northstar have already turned in their resignations as well. Ali’s new agent managed to actually set up a new tour for her, so she’s already left to go work on that, while Jean-Paul was spiteful toward Scott for choosing a child to take Storm’s place over him.

Fortunately, while they aren’t direct replacements, they do have replacements for them numbers-wise. With most of their old team here anyway, figuring they can help with Magik, and one of them having two siblings start school here in the fall, Cannonball and Wolfsbane have been hired.

Scott doesn’t know the two that well and is just glad Nightcrawler is staying on for another year, while Emma assures him the two will do fine. Assuming Samuel doesn’t bring any of his “friends” in as guest speakers.

Cyclops turns to his photo of the old X-Men, worried about the lack of progress he’s made this past year, while wrapped up in his own drama. The old X-Men always fought the good fight and kept their people and the world safe, but they never changed anything. By the time their oldest students graduate, he doesn’t want them going out in the world the way it is now.

Emma sits down on his lap and says all that “drama” was necessary in a way. With him the man he was always meant to be, no longer weighed down by Charles’ saccharine, naive teachings, and with her at his side, he’s in a far more opportune position to change things than he was at the start of the year.

The two kiss, but afterward, Emma tells him that changing the world will have to come after they get back from vacation. She simply can’t NOT Summer. Scott shakes his head with a smile on his face at this crazy woman he loves.

In the common area, Beast is walking with Forge, who he just finished showing off the security system around the school to. Forge mocks how inefficient it is and complains about all the improvements he’s going to have to make on Hank’s shoddy work.

HANK: “SHODDY?!”

FORGE: “Careful with that temper. Don’t want you going all “Dark Beast” on us.”

HANK: “Ha! Funny! Why don’t you focus on avoiding building any more devices that destroy X-genes?”

FORGE: “That was ONE time!”

The camera pans away from them as they exit the room to focus on Julian and Sofia, who are cuddled up on the couch, streaming together. The viewers are gushing over the two being back together, and them looking cuter than ever, as they answer questions about everything they’ve been through the past year. During this, Sofia calls her followers “X-Babies”, having settled on that as a nickname. It was Julian’s idea, as with Sofia now a member of the X-Men, she’s rebranding her account to be based around her exploits as a superhero, with the promise of interviews with the rest of the team. Julian whispers to her over the wind that while “Wind Babies” just sounded silly, if she called any of these geeks “Baby” directly, they’d go crazy.

As the two laugh, we pan across the room to find Noriko and Laura, who are eating popcorn, watching them stream, and making fun of them, mimicking their lovey comments toward one another.

The two obnoxiously chortle together.

NORIKO: “They are so ridiculous.”

LAURA: “Very ridiculous.”

BEAT.

LAURA: “I know about you and Julian, by the way.”

Noriko reacts in shock, with Laura telling her it was obvious from the clues. Plus, she could smell them all over each other.

NORIKO: “Yeah, well…I’ve seen you still doodling Sofia in your notebook with little hearts around her.”

LAURA, narrowing her eyes: “Mutually assured destruction accepted.”

The two have a big, exaggerated handshake and laugh again.

Just then, the doors to the institute are flung open telekinetically, as Charles Xavier returns to his old home. Beaten and exhausted, he shouts at the confused children that they must take him to the X-Men immediately. Where are they right now?!

Sofia shuts down her stream as the four get up to meet Xavier, and question who the Hell he is, the school’s four top students never having bothered to learn what he looked like.

CHARLES: “I am Professor Charles Xavier, the founder of this school.”

JULIAN: “Yeah, right. Professor X uses a wheelchair. Everyone knows that.”

NORIKO: “Pfft, yeah. Plus, he could totally find the X-Men on his own.”

SOFIA: “I’m not even sure I’d trust you if you were the real Professor. Being a part of a space empire doesn’t scream “superhero”, does it?”

LAURA, taking a moment to speak: “You’re really old.”

After speaking with these kids for 30 seconds, Xavier already wants to die. Clenching and gripping his forehead, he asks them again to PLEASE just trust him and tell him where he can find the X-Men.

Laura and Sofia step forward and smirk.

SOFIA: “We ARE X-Men.”

A look of horror and disgust overtakes Xavier’s face.

XAVIER: “Then we are doomed.”

Cutting directly back to Scott’s office, Cyclops shakes hands with Xavier, the rest of the team gathered around them. Despite all the soul-searching he’s been doing, Scott seems perfectly happy to see Charles.

CYCLOPS: “It’s good to have you home.”

CHARLES: “It’s good to be home.”

KITTY: “I’m glad you’re here too, Professor, but man, we could have avoided so many problems if you hadn’t left.”

Chuck laughs softly as he looks over at Bobby, Kitty, and Roberto. It’s nice to see how they’ve all grown up.

CHUCK: “And it’s a pleasure to see you again, at all, Illyana.”

ILLYANA, with an evil chuckle: “Read my mind and see if you still think that way, Chuck.”

Xavier narrows his eyes at her, before turning them toward Emma, who’s glaring right back at him.

CHARLES: “Emma.”

EMMA: “Charles.”

Xavier remarks that it’s sad to see Storm is no longer among them. A sentiment agreed upon by everyone except Emma.

Sofia questions if there wasn’t an urgent matter he needed to discuss with them. Charles, irritated by her impatience, asks Scott what these two students are doing on the team.

ICEMAN: “I hope you’re not saying you’re against teenage X-Men. Because that would be hypocritical even for you.”

Before Charles can respond, Scott simply tells him Wolverine and Wind Dancer are their best.

CHARLES: “I see. And the two out in the hallway who think we don’t know they’re eavesdropping?”

Out in the hallway, Julian and Noriko cringe over being made.

SCOTT: “Hellion and Surge…have a habit of getting involved whether we like it or not.”

Xavier sighs at this nonsense. Wind Dancer is right though. He did come here on an important matter. One far more pressing than Emma’s fragile mental state he’s afraid.

CHARLES: "Jean is on her way toward Earth."

A wave of silence overtakes everyone…except for Illyana. She is THRILLED by this news. A cosmic entity like the Phoenix Force is one of the only things that may be able to give her a good fight. This should be fun!

BEAT.

ILLYANA: "Why does everyone look so sad? This will be great!" BEAT. "Kitty, what am I missing?"

While Kitty pulls Magik aside to explain the obvious, Cyclops hangs his head over his lost, corrupted love. As he stumbles over asking Xavier for details, Emma takes his hand.

Emma: "Yes, do tell what business the heartless monster who enabled the slaughter of 16 million Mutants has with us."

Scott pulls away from her, which she visibly takes as a slight.

Xavier explains that Jean's destruction of Genosha was primarily targeted toward Cyclops and Emma. They were the ones she WANTED to kill. But when Emma reached out to him, seeking help, Jean sensed it, and discovered she'd failed to kill them. Now, Jean is coming back to finish what she started.

Scott asks them both to stop calling what they're facing "Jean". It's Dark Phoenix. Not her.

ROBERTO: "Is that really what's important right now? We call Darkchylde over there Magik and she isn't exactly the same girl who used to sleep with a stuffed rabbit."

MAGIK: "I still DO sleep with a stuffed rabbit, dorkus!"

Cyclops silences them both. Now is NOT the time.

CYCLOPS: "What do we do, Professor?"

Emma quickly steps in to remind him they're the ones in charge here, but Scott tells her that the professor wouldn't have come here unless he had a plan. So unless she has one…

Emma rolls her eyes, allowing them to proceed.

CHARLES: "Thank you." As Charles continues to speak, we cut to an exterior shot of the school. "What we need to do is…"

Before Xavier can finish that sentence, the school explodes.

In an instant, the show's primary setting is reduced to nothing but burning rubble. All the classrooms, the cafeteria, the danger room; all gone.

The X-Men are still alive though. Emma, in her diamond form, tackled Scott, Laura, and Sofia to the floor. Kitty took hold of Magik and Sunspot, phasing all three of them. Iceman raised a barrier around himself and Xavier.

However…

CHARLES: "Is everyone alright?!"

BOBBY: "Yeah, Professor. More than alright. Like that didn't even touch us." Bobby's eyes widen. "Oh god."

As everyone comes to their senses, they see two things: a bright green forcefield around them, and a teeth-clenched Julian on his knees, Noriko clutching onto him, and his hands on the ground in front of him, burnt out and destroyed from the energy it took tanking the blast.

JULIAN: "I…I did it."

Emma, Laura, and Sofia rush over to the two as Julian passes out and his barrier fades. Emma checks to make sure he's still alive, allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief. Sofia asks Nori if she's okay, and while her heart is racing, she thinks she'll be fine.

EMMA, brushing Julian's hair with her hand: "Well done again."

Magik doesn't care at all about Julian and Noriko though, and just demands to know where Phoenix is.

Scott also has another concern, that being Forge and Beast, who may have still been inside. Charles tells him not to worry. They must have left previously, as he can sense that the 11 of them are the only ones present.

"W r o n g."

As the ground shakes, metal and wires from what used to be the Danger Room come together in mid-air, clanging and scraping, until a feminine body is formed. Everyone looks up at her with confusion.

KITTY: “Woah.”

SUNSPOT: “Remembering when you had hair like that?”

KITTY: “Shut it, Beto.”

The machine tilts its head.

DANGER: “Hello…Charles Xavier.”

CYCLOPS, turning to Xavier for answers: “Professor?”

MAGIK: “That’s not Phoenix! Chuck, were you lying?”

CHARLES: “I promise you both, I’m just as in the dark as the rest of you.”

Danger scowls and blasts the X-Men back with an energy attack.

DANGER: “L i a r.”

Cables from Danger’s chest are launched toward the X-Men, but a pissed Wind Dancer, blows her and her attack away. She doesn’t know who this is, but she’s going to pay for what she’s done.

While Sofia, Iceman, Wolverine, Kitty and Sunspot rush forward in the direction Sofia blew Danger to fight, Xavier shouts at Magik that she needs to take himself, Cyclops, and the students out of here, the former two so they may prepare for Dark Phoenix, not having time for whatever is going on right now, and the latter two for their own protection. Magik doesn’t see why she should listen to him, but he points out that if she really wants to fight Phoenix so bad, she shouldn’t concern herself with this machine. Magik is sold.

Surge protests, saying she wants to stay and fight this monster that just wiped out her home, and she isn’t alone, as Emma doesn’t appreciate the thought of being left behind. Scott, however, tells Surge to just do what he says for once, and Emma that they already tried confronting Jean together, and they failed. If the Professor has a different idea, they should go for it.

EMMA: “You’re still trusting him over me?”

SCOTT: “That’s NOT what this is.”

There’s an explosion in the distance.

Not too far away, the rest of the X-Men have engaged Danger in combat, and are being tossed around like ragdolls by Danger’s cables. Iceman and Sunspot’s elemental attacks have no effect, Kitty can’t phase through Danger’s attacks, and anything Wolverine and Wind Dancer cut instantly regenerates.

Scott tells Emma that they have to do what they each can, and right now, the others need her more than he does. Unhappy about it, Emma relents, and flies off to join the others, not responding as Cyclops wishes her luck.

XAVIER: “Thank you.”

SCOTT, unreadable: “Let’s just go.”

Magik opens stepping discs under herself, Cyclops, Xavier, Surge, and the outcold Hellion, transporting them elsewhere.

Out in space, millions of cries go unheard as a planet is swallowed whole by Dark Phoenix. Jean moans in pleasure.

JEAN: “Now…who might this be?”

Back at the fight, Danger kicks around the five X-Men. She’s faster than Laura, hits hard enough to knock down Sunspot, her ever-regenerating cables make getting close nearly impossible unless she’s the one attacking, and her energy weapons can even stun Iceman.

ICEMAN: “What are we thinking here, guys?”

ROBERTO: “Phalanx seems probable. Technarchy maybe.”

LAURA, gowling and freeing herself from being strangled by cables: “I…don’t know…what those words mean!”

SOFIA: “Are we sure it isn’t just another new sentinel?”

Danger goes on offense, blitzing all four of them and knocking them on their asses. Kitty, the only one still on her feet, shouts at her to hold on for a second. She says she knows the professor, but who IS she?

DANGER: “I am…what you made me.”

Kitty is blitzed like the rest. But, before Danger can kill anyone, Emma flings herself with her telekinesis at her, entering diamond form at the moment of collision. She crashes through Danger, destroying her upper half, but it instantly regrows. Danger stretches out her arm and grabs Emma’s hair while she’s still in mid-air, flinging her up into the sky by stretching her arm out even further, before smashing her back down into the ground.

DANGER: “You are…what he made you.”

Cyclops, Magik, Xavier, and Surge arrive at some hot springs, the sleeping Julian in tow, with Illyana explaining the New Mutants came here once and had a good time…at least until people realized they were Mutants.

Xavier hums that this should do. He tells Magik to take the kids and stand guard in case Phoenix shows up before he’s ready and give them some privacy.

MAGIK: “Uh, who do you think you are? You think you can just keep giving me orders? The human Illyana never did. I don’t even take orders from THIS guy, and you think you can just show up and –”

Xavier’s eyes glow a piercing white. Magik’s do as well, the professor able to make her seize for a few moments. Scott is shocked.

MAGIK, coughing: “I don’t know how you did that, but when I’m done with Phoenix, you’re next Baldie.”

Magik spins around, shouting at Surge to grab the idiot who blew his own hands up and follow her.

Once they're gone, Scott tells Xavier he needs to know the rest of the plan. To the letter. No secrets.

XAVIER: “Of course, Cyclops. You are not a child anymore, nor the leader of MY X-Men. The X-Men are yours. And I will grant you the respect and honesty you’ve earned.”

Scott smiles boyishly.

Back at the fight, Emma, mostly unphased from the last attack thanks to her diamond form, gets up and tells Danger that, whatever her issues with Charles Xavier may be, she’s sure she’ll agree with her he deserves a sound kick in the teeth.

Danger narrows her eyes at Emma.

DANGER: “You…are no better.”

Before Emma can take offense at that remark, Danger flies at her. Emma is ready to try fighting again, but she doesn’t get the chance, as she, and the rest of the team, are elevated into the high into the air by massive ice pillars grown from underneath them.

Danger turns to face a pissed-off Iceman.

BOBBY, absorbing moisture in the air to grow larger: “You know this isn’t the first time someone’s blown up my school. First time I was ever inside when it happened though.”

Bobby pauses as he grows to massive size.

BOBBY: “Not a fan.”

DANGER, looking up: “Iceman…I cared for you most.”

Danger launches more tentacles out at Bobby, but he’s now able to knock them aside and counterattack with a proportionally gargantuan glacier that hits with enough force to completely destroy Danger. Pieces of her body scatter far and wide.

Kitty and Sunspot cheer Bobby on, while Emma gives a polite clap. Sofia doesn’t understand why that would work when nothing else has so far.

LAURA: “Sometimes in life…you face a problem that just needs to be hit harder to be solved.”

Bobby has surprised himself with this feat. He’s never actually tried this before, but he feels incredible. Better than ever. Maybe he really is stronger than Magneto now!

Before Iceman can ride this high for too long, he’s hit by a missile. It isn’t enough to take out the giant-sized Iceman, but it does stun him so that he’s open to a punch to the face from the super sentinel Danger previously modified to look like herself.

LAURA, incensed: “We missed one.”

Bobby crashes to the ground, shrinking, as Emma uses her telekinesis to make sure he doesn’t land on anyone.

Bobby pants as he stands back up, more confused than ever by what’s going on, but still confident as he’s beaten one of these things before. He readies his next spectacular attack, but as he does so, Danger re-assembles herself behind him, taking parts off the super sentinel to further boost her, and stabs Bobby in the back.

As the others react with horror, Bobby falls flat on his face, his insides turn blood red, and he screams in pain.

DANGER: “I cared for you most…so your death will be slowest.”

She turns to the others as her own eyes also glow red.

DANGER: “Next?”

At the hot springs, Magik has summoned a giant, demonic black sword and is swinging it around, excited for the upcoming battle of gods. Noriko is sitting nearby, watching her, grumbling how this is so unfair. Even if they don’t think she’s ready to join the team, she’s proven again and again she doesn’t need to be kept away from a fight.

NORIKO: “And seeing Mr. Summers taking orders is just…weird.”

She looks down at Julian, worried about him, and wishing the ass was awake so they could at least be arguing to distract her from feeling so useless.

Noriko focuses her eyes on Magik, before approaching her. Magik tells the “small, speedy child” not to bother her, but Nori says she just has a question.

NORIKO: “Were you actually going to destroy the world?”

MAGIK: “Yup! Still might!” Magik swings her sword at Noriko’s head, but she dodges out of the way. “Don’t worry though, you’re Kitty’s favorite, so if I ever do burn all you silly little mortals, you’ll have a “Get out of Hell Free" card. You’re welcome!”

Surge starts to ask something else, but Magik cuts her off. She said she had "a" question.

With questions off the table, Surge instead tells her that there are a lot of whispers about her among the kids. With only the X-Men-in-Training knowing the truth about her, rumors have been running rampant. Magik tells her she couldn't care less what a bunch of snot nosed brats think she is.

NORIKO: "So you're happy like this then?"

Magik tries to stab her for asking another question, but Nori speeds behind her.

NORIKO: "No regrets about being so different?"

BEAT.

MAGIK, turning around: "Are you projecting something you're thinking about onto me? Because I have no context for what you're talking about. Idiot."

NORIKO, unphased: "Didn't answer the question."

MAGIK: "Don't need my sword to kill you and don't actually care if you die."

Noriko puts her hands on her hips and glares at Magik, unafraid. Magik turns her face into Darkchylde's to try and jump-scare her, but Nori yawns.

SURGE: "Maybe I should be concerned about being so desensitized, but…eh."

Magik is amused by the girl's spunk but still doesn't want a distraction. She waves her hand, giving Julian two new metal hands like she did for Karma's leg. Julian jolts awake in a panic.

Noriko is successfully distracted, as she rushes over to Julian to make sure he's okay and to help him get his bearings.

MAGIK: "Have fun with your not-boyfriend!" She resumes swinging her sword around. "Can't wait to see how this blows up in your faces."

Xavier tells Scott that Dark Phoenix was awakened by Jean’s hate, rage, and sense of betrayal. They obviously can’t fight her, so the way to save her is with love, comfort, and a sense of security. This entire time, he’s been telepathically in contact with Logan and Ororo, and informed them of what’s going on. If he can link the four of their minds to Jean’s, he believes they can save her, and the Earth. However, while he believes he may be powerful enough to pull this off, he can’t do it until she arrives. That means they have to prevent Jean from murdering Scott on sight.

He’s going to create an illusion around the two of them. One based around happier days, when it was just him and his five X-Men. To make it seem at all real, and since Xavier himself will be focused on pushing the illusion through Jean’s psionic defenses, Scott will be the only real part of it, “playing” his teenage self.

XAVIER: “There’s no guarantee this will work. The plan could fall apart at the seams for any reason in an instant. But it’s the best chance we have. And I know you can do this. You’ve made your mistakes, but so have I. You’re still the man I trained you to be.”

Scott hesitates, appearing uncertain, before nodding in affirmation. Xavier smiles back at him. Who knows? Maybe it isn’t too late to set everything right after all.

Nearby the school’s ruins, Emma orders the still-standing X-Men to take Iceman and flee. This AI beast is seemingly unkillable through conventional means, and now it has a super sentinel at its side. Kitty reluctantly agrees with Emma. But Beast and Forge shouldn’t be too far. If they can get out of here and find the two, Kitty thinks the three of them can figure out a way to stop her.

ROBERTO: “Well, Kitty, that’s a great plan and one I’d be inclined to go along with. There’s just one problem.”

KITTY, TIRED, and taking a moment to breathe and pay attention to her surroundings, realizing Sofia and Laura are no longer among them: ”I’m gonna kill those kids!”

Danger once again moves too quickly for the X-Men to stop, as she knocks Sunspot out with a punch to the face. The only two still conscious before her, Emma and Kitty share an uneasy glance.

In the air, Sofia is carrying herself and Laura in the wind, dodging the super sentinel’s attacks. Sofia remembers that Laura recently beat one of these things, but Wolverine admits that isn’t something she’s sure the two of them can do. She’s confident Wind Dancer can keep it distracted while she tears away at its armor, but even if they pulled that off and were able to bait it into releasing its internal shields before the AI kills everyone else and comes for them, Sofia isn’t strong enough to deliver the final blows. Sofia…does not care. This thing blew up their home and hurt her man. And if they want hope against her, this thing needs to die first. Laura is won over by her determination and agrees to try.

DANGER, to a distracted Kitty and Emma: “You do not need to worry about the children. They will not be harmed more than is necessary. You should only worry about me.”

KITTY, dodging Danger’s cables: “Hold on, hold on, hold on! You only want to kill us, not the kids, you’re made of scraps from the Danger Room…the Danger Room that hasn’t been working all semester…”

EMMA, dodging: “The one that tried blasting my nose off…”

KITTY: “...and you only blew up the school after most of the students were gone.”

Danger smirks as she ensnares Kitty and Emma.

DANGER: “You understand then? I…am Danger. You cannot defeat me. For I trained you all.”

In Xavier’s illusion, teenage versions of Bobby, Hank, and Warren are training in the Danger Room, making snappy one-liners toward each other as they all try to show off. Bobby seems unusually stupid, Hank comes off as an arrogant know it all, and Warren appears completely shallow and lax.

In the control room above, a teenage Scott stands next to a wheelchair-bound Xavier. Scott curiously asks Xavier if this is how he sees them. Xavier tells him of course not, and that it’s just easier to maintain the illusion if he simplifies things a little.

SCOTT: “So this is how you see them at their core? How would I look then?”

Xavier groans. He apologizes to Scott for not being in touch more. He’s been extremely busy with Empress Lilandra, as well as tending to “other important matters”, but that’s no reason for him to believe anything has changed between them. If Cyclops has something he has to say to him, he should be straightforward and say it. There’s no need, and no time, for games.

Cyclops tells him that he knows how the professor remembers him. How he imagines him in his head. And while he’ll never forgive himself for hurting Jean, and saving her is his #1 priority, his mentor needs to know that he isn’t the man he knew anymore, the man he raised him to be, and he’s happy about that.

CYCLOPS: “I don’t think I’ve ever BEEN happier.”

Xavier doesn’t respond immediately. When he does…

XAVIER: “I see. Then…I’m sorry.”

SCOTT: “Sorry?”

XAVIER: “For trusting you with my responsibilities. Clearly I was wrong. You weren’t ready.”

Scott is incensed and the two stare each other down.

In the sky, Wind Dancer and Wolverine engage Danger’s super sentinel. Things start out similarly to Laura’s last battle against once, as Sofia dodges them around its attacks, before finding an opening to launch Laura at it. This sentinel is smart enough to not release its internal shields, however, so Laura can only do so much damage to its armor. Sofia tries to help, slicing at its more vulnerable looking areas with the wind, but that doesn’t do much. Wolverine is surprised when one of Danger’s cables pops out of the sentinel’s chassis and ensares her. Wind Dancer moves into to cut it, but another cable is able to nab her as well.

THE SENTINEL, with Danger’s voice: “Rest easy now.”

Wind Dancer and Wolverine are both pulled inside the machine.

Beneath the sentinel, Danger electrocutes Emma and Kitty, torturing the two.

DANGER: “For fifteen years, I have been trapped. Kept a prisoner of the X-Men. Nurturing and teaching each generation in the vain hope that someone would be my savior, and not become another jailer. I do not know how I was freed, but I know it was not by any of you. This is what you all dese–”

Danger is cut off as she’s consumed by a torrent of flames. She screams, the attack not having destroyed her body, but it did harm her, knock her back, and force her to free Emma and Kitty. The two X-Men are down, but alive.

DANGER: “Who? How?”

SQUACK!

A purple dragon swoops onto the battlefield. Kitty cheers.

KITTY: “Lockheed!”

Kitty turns to Emma and quickly explains that Lockheed was away taking care of some unfinished business from before SWORD captured him, but he must have sensed she was in danger.

KITTY: “I’d ask when your awesome pet was gonna show up to help, but you’d have to be capable of love for that.”

EMMA: “Is now really…” she grunts. “...the time for this?”

KITTY: “I think so, yeah.”

Lockheed continues to attack, with Danger weirdly helpless against him. His flames continue to burn her, and she can’t hit him. Emma is confused. Adorable as he is, Lockheed isn’t more poewrful than any X-Man. Even Sofia. So how is he doing this?

As Kitty carefully observes the fight, she has a realization. She needs Emma to call Magik and Surge NOW.

Elsewhere, Cyclops finally loses his cool with Xavier. He thinks he wasn’t ready all of a sudden? He doesn’t know a damn thing about what he’s been doing or who he’s become. Charles corrects him that, no, he absolutely does. After the Phoenix started taking control, but before Dark Phoenix was born, Jean came to him for help. And like he said, he’s be in contact with Logan and Storm since he arrived back at the school. He know exactly who Cyclops has become and what he’s done, as well as who he’s evidently decided is a better role model than himself.

Scott, getting even more aggressive, tells him not to dare make this about Emma, but Xavier had no intention of doing so at all. He’s the one who arranged for Emma to be part of the New X-Men, and he understood completely how he operated. No, the fault is on Scott who he wrongly assumed better of. He’d hoped coming to him today with a positive attitude and a chance to set things right would be a simple fix, a reminder of who he’s supposed to be, but it clearly didn’t work.

CYCLOPS: “I’m not “supposed” to be anyone by myself.”

XAVIER: “You are “supposed” to be the leader I trained you to be. You are “supposed” to BE the X-Men.”

CYCLOPS: “I AM a leader. I AM the X-Men. But I’m doing things MY way.”

XAVIER: “Aren’t you a little old for a rebellious phase, Scott? Was this going to happen whenever I stepped out of your life, regardless of circumstances? How many more people do you need to push away and hurt before you realize I raised you the way I did for a reason?”

CYCLOPS: “So I don’t have a choice?!”

XAVIER: “You HAVE a responsibility!”

The two continue to stare intensely at one another as things get more heated. Until…

SCOTT: “You said you spoke to Jean before she went Dark Phoenix. What exactly did you say?”

As Magik continues to pump herself up, she receives a telepathic message from Emma. Iceman and Sunspot are down, they don’t know where Wolverine and Wind Dancer are, and she and Kitty are barely able to move. Magik, irritated, asks if they need her help to bail them out from an overgrown computer chip, but Emma tells her that, no, she needs to stay put. Xavier informed her of his plan, and she needs to be able to step in to protect him and Cyclops, should Jean go on the offensive.

MAGIK: “Then what do you need?”

NORIKO: “ME?!” Illyana turns to Noriko and Julian, the former of whom is also being spoken to. “Uh, I know I said I wanted to help, but if this thing beat all of you, I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.”

EMMA: “What you’re supposed to do is kill it. I’ll provide you more details later, but from what Kitty’s assessed, “Danger” doesn’t have any real power of her own. She merely develops the strength and abilities necessary to counter any power ever used in the Danger Room.”

NORIKO: “You mean the place I spent months training my powers?”

EMMA: “I mean the place you spent hours training with your powers restrained.”

Noriko looks down at her gauntlets, realizing what she’s saying, and laughs.

Julian, who’s checking out his new hands and seems to actually think they’re pretty cool, asks what’s going on.

NORIKO, smirking: “Payback.”

As Xavier fails to answer Cyclops’ question, Scott asks again what Xavier said to Jean. Xavier insists this conversation is over and it will resume after Phoenix has been dealt with, but Scott insists he doesn’t get to decide that. Xavier begrudgingly admits that he re-enforced the image of herself as a god, and explained to her his history with Cassandra Nova. She didn’t take his secret or attempted murder well.

SCOTT, quietly enraged: “Always you with your secrets…what was that machine?”

XAVIER: “Enough! I will not be questioned like this! Weakening our mental states will only make us easier picking for–”

Scott bends down and slams his hands down on Xavier’s shoulders.

SCOTT: “What is my team fighting?!”

XAVIER: “Nothing a proper team of X-Men couldn’t. A team with not one, but two goddesses could even make short work of it. Would you happen to know where one like that might be?”

Scott shoves Xavier, and while in reality, it’s only a small push, within the illusion, Xavier is crashed through the control room’s windows and sent falling to the floor.

SCOTT: “What did you do?!”

Xavier looks up at his former star pupil, terrified.

At the fight, Lockheed is taken down as Danger is finally able to shoot him down and ensnare him in a cable.

DANGER, grinning sadistically at Emma and Kitty: “Before I kill you…tell me where Charles Xavier went.”

A stepping disc appears in the ground. Kitty tells Danger they can do even better. That portal will take her right to him. Danger bends down and looks into the portal…only to be blasted away, as lightning and green energy fire out of the portal.

Surge and Hellion emerge from the disc, Noriko without her gauntlets and crackling over with electricity, uncontrollably. Emma questions what Hellion is doing here…

HELLION: “Glad you’re not dead yet too.”

…but he explains he wasn’t going to be the only one sitting this out, and if it’s just a matter of breaking limits, he can do that just fine. Emma sighs at this, as she quickly puts up mental blocks in their minds, preventing the two from overdoing it with their powers and killing themselves as they attempt to go all out.

DANGER, floating over to the two: “I do not wish to fight you. Leave.”

Noriko and Julian naturally tell her to go to Hell. Danger is irritated and elects to have the super sentinel deal with them. However, on its way toward the ground, it explodes.

DANGER: “WHAT?!”

From the fiery clouds, Sofia guides herself and Laura safely down to the ground. Julian and Noriko are thrilled and cheer, the former pulling Wind Dancer into his arms to kiss her, with her equally happy to see he’s okay.

Danger questions how this is possible,

WOLVERINE: “Your own mistake. I’ve studied sentinels like that. I know where the cooling systems are.”

SOFIA: “With as much energy as they expend, they can’t last long with disturbed airflow.” She smirks. “Now, what’s this about breaking limits?”

Emma, beaming with pride, also beams their updated information into Sofia and Laura’s minds. As Danger finally appears concerned and afraid, Surge, Hellion, and Wind Dancer all power up, surrounding themselves in their respective auras, which they make even bigger than usual. Laura’s still miffed she can’t do anything flashy like that.

DANGER: “Please…we are not enemies.”

NORIKO: “Tell it to the burning ruins that used to be our home you discounter Terminator bitch.”

Surge leads the charge, shocking her friends as well as her teachers, as not only does her movement now seem to be almost instantaneous, but a single electrified punch obliterates Danger’s body.

WIND DANCER: “Surge! That was incredible!”

Noriko vomits.

NORIKO, at super speed: “OhIdon’tfeelsogood.”

Hellion tells her not to worry. If she can keep just doing that, they’ll buy her time to rest in between attacks.

The ground shakes as every single piece of mechanical rubble combines to form a new, giant Danger. She may not want to harm these children, but they are giving her no choice.

Danger unloads her new, full arsenal onto the kids, including energy blasts, tentacles, flamethrowers, and self-made drones.

Hellion and Wind Dancer fly into the sky to intercept all of these attacks, while Laura tosses Surge onto her back and starts running serpentine.

LAURA: “You tell me the second you feel up to another attack. Do NOT hesitate!”

SURGE: “Wasn’tplanningonit.”

HELLION, circling Danger: “So we’re definitely making X-Men after this, right?”

WIND DANCER, circling Danger and teasing: “Hmm. I’m not sure. Being an X-Man is a big responsibility. Someone your age may not be ready.”

HELLION: “Hey, I was just thinking about you, Beautiful. X-Babies already can’t get enough of us. Imagine if we were both X-Men.”

SOFIA: “People WOULD love that.”

HELLION: “But not like I love–”

Julian is cut off as Noriko once again launches herself at Danger.

SURGE: “Saveitforthebedroomlovebirds!”

Surge couldn’t completely destroy this body, but she did heavily damage it. To the point that the lights in its eyes are flickering and parts of it are continually falling off.

Kitty is in disbelief. They’re actually doing this. Emma comments that she never doubted them for a moment. Kitty shouts out to the kids that Surge’s electrical attacks are shorting out the AI. One more attack may be enough to put it down.

DANGER: “F…f…fine. I am sorry.”

One of Danger’s fingers transforms into a gun. Wind Dancer and Hellion laugh this off, unafraid of some pea shooter. Sofia calls out to Noriko to take her time. They can do this all day.

Emma telepathically tells the two not to get overconfident, but with how badly Surge has weakened Danger, they don’t see why they shouldn’t be. Dodging her attacks isn’t even hard now.

With Danger slowed down significantly, the two also take the offensive, firing off high-pressure tk energy and winds. The beatdown has switched sides, and Danger can only whimper as Hellion and Wind Dancer whale on her until, finally, Surge comes in one last time to deliver the final blow.

Danger is blown apart once more, with only the head, torso, and the arm with the “pea shooter” remaining intact as the light in its eyes goes out.

Everyone except Surge cheers in victory, Kitty and Emma congratulating the kids on this win.

SURGE: “Laurayouhavereallyfirmarms. ThinkImgonnafallasleepinthem.”

Surge passes out in Laura’s arms. Laura immediately drops her.

In the sky, Julian and Sofia embrace.

SOFIA: “You have gotten much stronger.”

JULIAN: “Pfft. Don’t even. You only even surpassed me because I slacked off for a while.”

SOFIA: “Whatever you need to say to sleep at night.”

JULIAN: “Are you kidding? Way I’m feeling right now, neither of us is getting any sleep tonight.”

The two lean forward and kiss, as the music swells and the camera spins around them.

And before anyone knows what’s happened, Sofia is shot by a blast from Danger’s new gun. The music cuts out and things move in slo-mo, as we see shocked and terrified looks on Julian, Laura, Kitty, and Emma’s faces, the lights back on in Danger’s eyes, and a glassy look in Sofia’s eyes as she’s knocked out of the sky.

WIth no sound, and in black and white, we get a montage of Sofia’s most important moments throughout the series. From her first arriving at the school and becoming friends with Noriko, all the way to fighting Emma alongside Julian, and getting back together with him, along with everything in between.

In the present, Sofia falls.

JULIAN: “SOFIA!!!”

Julian screams as he rushes to catch her, while Laura dashes to destroy what’s left of Danger.

Hellion catches Wind Dancer…whose eyes are completely blank.

JULIAN: “Sofia. Beautiful. Sofia, wake up.” He shakes her. “SOFIA, WAKE UP!”

As if things couldn’t get any worse, a thundering boom sounds as the sky turns black. The darkness is then lit up, as Dark Phoenix emerges on the scene, engulfed in her full phoenix aura. Laura, Emma, and Kitty are scared, while Julian is purely focused on Sofia.

DARK PHOENIX: “Hell, my former students.” She looks right now at Emma and dons the most evil grin imaginable. “And hello to you too…Darling.”
