I finally got to sleep last night, the stressed voices in my head finally went to sleep too.

I woke up, the sun blinding me. I covered my face with my hand as I walked over to the window.

I already missed the students running around in the garden in the mornings.

I walked downstairs into the kitchen to find Hank already surrounded by notebooks, pens and pencils.

"What are you going Hank?" I asked.
"Making a cerium." He answered.
"For what?" I asked turning around to make me some toast.
"To help control my mutation." Hank mindlessly answered.

I immediately stopped what I was doing. I couldn't help, but remember what his last serum did to him.

"What do you mean?" I asked Hank.
"It's going to allow me to change back and forth between this form and my human form." Hank answered.
"That's brilliant, Hank!" I smiled.
"Can I assist you?" I asked.
"Of course! I need to finish the equations and everything first. I'll call you when I'm done." Hank smiled.

I left the kitchen and went to the living room. Now I know what your thinking. Why are you encouraging Hank to make this serum, when his last one completely failed. Well if his idea works , it would make him so much happier! He would be able to go outside for once and I know how much he wants that. Plus, I feel like he has learned from his mistakes and this serum will work.

I got to the living room and there on the table was a letter, addressed to me. Confused, I sat down and picked up the letter. It read,

Dear Meg,
I really miss you. Life in the army sucks. Everything is on a strict schedule and the food taste terrible.

I live in a dorm with all the other mutants they've recruited. We train and all they just don't send us out to battle.

I have a feeling we are soon to be shipped somewhere. I saw an envelope that a Sargent left behind. It was from Trask Industries and they experiment on mutants. I think I'm being sent there along with every other mutant here. I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure

So if I don't see you again, just know that I love you. You have left a huge impact on my life. I hope you are one day able to live happily without ally of this conflict between humans and mutants. Stay strong. Fight for the mutants whose lives were taken.

Love,
Alex

I shot up from my seat and ran to Hank with the letter in hand.

"Did you get a letter from Alex?" I asked sitting at the table with him.
"Yes." Hank said sadly, putting down the pen he was using.

"It's a horrible thing, isn't it? We couldn't do anything about it. It was a highly secured army base. Alex seems pretty accepting in the fact that he would be tested on. He accepted that there was no other way to go. He embraced the idea of death. He knew it would happen sometime. Just know he was happy with it. That place was horrible, he would've done anything but to get out of it." Hank explained.

He came over and hugged me, I hugged him back, crying into his shoulder.

Alex could possibly be dead.

Hello,

I hope you all are enjoying this story. I'm working really hard on it!
I need your opinion! Should I get the Rouge cut of DOFP? I really want to see it, but I don't want to get it and then see it's the same movie, just with Rouge. I'll probably get it anyway!

Story time!

I was in the movie theater and near me whenever you arrive early to the movie, they show questions about movies on the screen. So there'd be a question, four multiple choice answers and after a couple seconds the right answer will turn green.

So the question was
'Which X-men actor lends his voice to the movie Underdogs?'
The possible answers were Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Hugh Jackman or Nicholas Hoult.

My mom was like it's Hugh Jackman. Then I was like no, it's Nicholas Hoult. My brother than agreed with me. I was also right. My mom asked which one is he? Which I replied with Beast, the giant blue one. That was a very proud moment for me!
