        X-Man : Evolution 1.

        Nate Grey smiled as he stepped up onto the plateau, overlooking
the small town far below.
        "Feels good, don't it, Thren?" he asked his girlfriend, who
sat puffing and gasping on a rock behind him.
        "Grey," she muttered,"Would you like to tell me why we just
climbed this fucking mountain when you could have flown us up here with
your powers in a matter of seconds?"
        Nate turned with a wide smile and threw his arms wide.
        "Come on, Thren! Doesn't it feel great to do something without
using our powers? To go one on one with the elements and conquer them!?!"
        "Oh fuck," muttered Threnody,"Are you going through a mid-life
crisis already?"
        Nate just chuckled, shaking his head with amusement as he turned
around to face the view.  They were high up a mountain in Colorado,
looking down on a small mountain town which Threnody insisted on calling
South Park.
        "What a great view," he laughed,"We climbed all the way up here
without...."
        - WE ARE HERE! - roared a voice in their heads.
        Nate clutched his head in agony and, as he did so often
in situations where he was threatened, Nate let his instincts take over.
        Unimaginable psionic energy lashed out from his eye, blasting
through the physical plane into the astral and sending the message back
full force.
        Threnody clutched her head in agony, purple smoke pouring from
the psi-bafflers set into the sides of her head.  Set into place by
Mr. Sinister to keep her mind going crazy from the constant flow of
death energies that used to be forced upon her before she met him, the
psi-bafflers had tried to prevent the message getting through
and overloaded.  As a result, Threnody became a magnet suddenly for the
latent energy of released death floating in the air.  Memories and images
flooded her mind, driving her into a crazy, gibbering panic.
She staggered past Nate, clutching her head in pain, and fell with a
scream off the side of the mountain.
        "THREN!" cried Nate and reached out instantly, surrounding her
in a field of telekinetic energy which would absorb the impact of her
fall.  He shook his head to clear it of the disorientating effect of
the invasive telepathic message, trying to concentrate on
catching Threnody and lifting her back up with his immense mental powers.
        But then the message blasted his mind again, recoiling back through
the small hole he'd torn in the physical plane and hitting him full
force again.
        - WE HAVE ALREADY DEFEATED WITH EASE THE GREATEST EXAMPLES OF
THE OLD HUMANITY, THE AVENGERS FELL BEFORE US....... -
        "FUCK.... OFF!!!!" screamed Nate, throwing up a mental blockade
stronger than the strongest wall, as powerful and unchanging as the
mountain he stood on.
        And yet, cracks began to form in his shield, words and images
filtering through, flashing by so fast he could barely register them.
        -... Y OTHERS.... -
        Iron Man lying on the ground, armor cracked.
        -... OUR POWER WILL.... -
        Captain America lying beneath tons of rubble.
        -.... MASTERS OF THIS PLANET IS..... -
        The Vision pounded into submission.
        -... LIFT.... -
        Scarlet Witch thrown to the ground.
        -.. RIGHTFUL PLACE... -
        Firestar beaten.
        -... UNIVERSE. -
        Warbird defeated.
        Nate shook his head, gritting his teeth in disbelief as blood
flowed freely down his nose.  Except for a memorable battle with The
Hulk and a surreal encounter with a Psi called Jack-Knife - who'd gained
his powers from Nate originally - no one had ever beaten his psi shields.
        -... DIE. -
        Nate dropped to his knees and cursed as he felt hot blood well
up at the back of his throat.  His body had grown more adaptive to his
powers recently as he learned better how to control the immense power
at his command, he hadn't bled for weeks and not this heavily for months.
        "Thren," he grunted, remembering his girlfriend belatedly and
crawling to the edge of the plateau, looking over the edge for any sign
of Threnody.  He saw nothing and cursed her psi-bafflers, which prevented
him from tracking her down with his telepathy.
        He tried to get to his feet, but a foot pushed against his back
and knocked him back down.  Looking up, he stared in shock at the seven
women standing around him, all of them beautiful in an ethereal sense,
their bodies almost as trancluscent as their robes.
        - This one is an aberration, - said one of the women mentally,
heard even by Nate, - He prevented our message from getting through. -
        - He is an enigma, - replied another, - I will search his mind for
answers to what he seeks. -
        She reached out with her mind, having no need to think that he
would be able to prevent her, and then her eyes widened and she staggered
backwards.
        - He stopped me! - she gasped, - He is a match for me! -
        - Individually, - replied the others in unison, - But
not collectively -
        The seven reached into his mind, Nate screaming and fighting
back, blood erupting for him nose, mouth and ears as he fought back
against the intrusion.  But even the previously unequaled power of Nate
Grey was incapable of facing off the Collective might of seven Fellows
Of The Mental Discipline, bolstered by their Sisters throughout the world.
        His body collapsed, physically and psychically exhausted as his
mind was invaded, raped by these seven women as they read his memories,
looking at short and tumultuous life.
        Innocence - Running throughout the abandoned orphanage, laughing
and giggling as he hid from his 'Daddy', a man called Sinister who was
anything but a loving Father.
        Freedom - Taken from his containment booth by his real 'father',
bursting free to escape the unknown with his incredible powers.
        Horror - Discovering a ravaged, blasted world outside the one
he'd known, watching humans and mutants alike savagely mistreated and
abused by a corrupt system ruled by a genetic madman.
        Father - Meeting a man called Forge who taught him how to use his
powers, how to fight in small ways to change the system.
        Validation - Freeing Theresa Rourke from the slave trains and
running with his theater/freedom fighter group, knowing a modicum of
happiness until Essex came.
        Betrayal - Finding Forge dead at Essex' hands, discovering Essex
is in fact Sinister.
        Revelation - He is an experiment grown from stolen
genetic material, bred to destroy Apocalypse for Sinister and then be
destroyed by his own powers.
        Vindication - Killing Sinister, intense satisfaction.
        Thwarted - Moments from defeating Apocalypse, plunged into The
M'Kraan Crystal by Holocaust, abominable 'son' of an even worse
Abomination.
        Rebirth - Appearing in a new world filled with life and vitality.
        Confusion - Unsure how to deal with this new world, confused by
his rebirth/recreation of Madelyne Pryor.
        Happiness - A new life, a new woman, Threnody.
        Distrust - Threnody is connected to Sinister.
        Content - Settling down with Threnody, learning to trust this
strange woman.
        Anger - From Magnus to Onslaught, people scramble to manipulate
and abuse his powers.
        Exile - Begins traveling the country with Threnody, keeping
constantly on the move.
        The seven women sighed in satisfaction as they finished searching
his mind.
        - Most instructive, - said one.
        - Fascinating - replied another.
        - Were we so inclined, we could bring him into the fold, - mused
a third.
        - He would make an admirable connection to our
Collective - speculated the fourth.
        - If only... - started the fifth.
        - ...he wasn't.... - continued the sixth.
        - ....mired in a physical body, - finished the last.
        - Or perhaps, - spoke up the first, - That is a strength that
we lack? -
        - Explain? - asked the others, and instantly knew as the
information became available to their shared minds.
        - Observe, - the first said, - He and this Threnody, sharing
a physical intimacy that connects them in a way their minds can not. -
        They pulled from Nate's head the memory of a time just a few
months earlier, living it as if it had happened to them.
        Darkness.
        Noises in the darkness, something in the/their very nature keeps
him/them from reacting in his/their usual, violent manner.
        A weight on his/their back, a cool liquid dripping down his/their
back, it draws an involuntary gasp of shock from him/them.
        "Ssshh, quiet," whispers a cool, soothing voice.
        The liquid is rubbed into his/their sore, tired muscles, skilled
hands kneading the poor stretched things into relaxing.
        "What's going on," he/they whispers, almost hating himself/themself
for breaking the silence.
        "You're so tense," whispers the voice and he/they desperately
tries to remember where he/they has heard it before.
        "Relax," she/they says soothingly,"Just relax and enjoy."
        He/they feels warm flesh against his/their back, a soft whisper
of breath against his/their neck, then a soft nibbling at his/their ear.
        - Those are breasts - he/they thinks to him/their self as he/they
feels the plump mounds of flesh press against his/their back, sliding up
and down his/their oiled skin.
        The small, gentle hands easily turn him/they over onto his/their
back, now she/they settles down and rests against his/their lower waist,
he/they is embarrassed to feel his/their cock begin to rise.
        Her/their hands grab his/their pecs, her/their hands sliding over
his/their nipples, which are more sensitive than he/they would have
believed.
        He/they looks up into the darkness, he/they can just make out
the outline of a woman’s face, light glints slightly of small metal devices
on the side of her/their face.
        "Thren?" he/they asks, realizing it is Threnody/Themselves, the
mutant female whose thoughts he/they detected while over Nebraska - the
one that got him/they into this mess.
        "What are you doing..." he/they asks, he/they senses rather
than sees her/their smile.
        "What's this?" she/they laughs as she/they feels his/their member
press up between her/their asscheeks.
        Before he/they can react she/they lifts her/their ass up into
the air, scoots back and lowers her/their mouth down, his/their dick
sliding into her/their mouth.
        Nate/They couldn't believe the incredible sensations running
through his/their body as Threnody/Their mouth enveloped
his/their manhood.  He/They let out a little moan of pleasure as her/their
tongue slipped down the length of his/their member.
        She/They wrapped her/their lips around his/their shaft tightly
and begin to deepthroat him/them.
        Nate/They raise up slightly, his/their eyes widening as
Threnody's/Their mouth slide down his/their cock.  His/Their hands slide
down and grab her/their head, raising his/their hips slightly, he/they
beginning to facefuck her/themselves.
        Threnody/They smile around the cock sliding in and out
of her/their mouth.
        She/they could hear him/themselves groaning, his/their
hips bouncing up and down with youthful eagerness and she/they realize
he/they is going to cum soon.
        She reacts by sliding her/their mouth halfway up his/their cock,
she/they wrapping her/their fist around his/their cock and squeezing it,
trying to hold back his/their orgasm.  She/They succeeded in holding
him/them off for a few seconds, then his/their cock stiffened and sprayed
several shots of cum into her/their mouth.  She/They swallowed his/their
cum quickly and easily.
        She/They could already feel Nate's/Their cock beginning
to subside in her/their mouth, she/they pulled her/their mouth away,
his/their hands slid free easily, he/they was lying back now, his/their
eyes closed, chest rising and falling rapidly as he/they experienced
the aftershock of his/their first blowjob.  She/they begin to
lick his/their cock, her/their tongue dancing around the rim of
his/their head, causing almost painful sensations of pleasure throughout
his/their body.
        She/They let her/their shoulder length hair fall down to
his/their body, moving her/their head around, her/their hair causing
his/their nerves to race as they softly brushed around his/their lower
body, his/their cock began to twitch again and he/they groaned
in surprise and a little pain.
        "Come on Nate, I know you can get it up again!" She/They encourage
him/them, wanting more.
        He/They moan as his/their cock begins to stiffen, she/they running
a fingernail up it's length, making him/them let out a little cry of
pleasure.
        She/they raised her/their body up so that her/their large breasts
lay before his/their face, he/they eyed them greedily and she/they smiled,
gripping one in her/their hand and squeezing it.
	"Go on, you know you want to."
        He/They moved his/their head forward and tentatively, almost
shyly, licked at her/their erect nipple with his/their tongue.  He/They
circled it slightly, then his/their mouth took her/their nipple into
his/their mouth, he/they began to suckle on her/their breast, his/their
cock now rockhard, but he/they no longer noticed, her/their dark-skinned
breasts were all that were important to him/they now.
        She/They raised her/their ass up again and he/they moaned around
the breast in his/their mouth as he/they felt his/their cock
enter her/their cunt for the first time.  He/Their lips parted and he/they
slid into her/their, his/their teeth gripped her/their nipple and squeezed
slightly.
        "Good," she/they whispered as she/they felt him/them
fill her/their up, she/they beginning to pumping her/their hips up and
down, grinding backwards and forwards as she/they did so.
        Nate/They couldn't believe the sensation of having his/their cock
in a pussy, he/they had thought a blowjob the epitome of pleasure, but it
was nothing compared to this.  Now she/they was grinding her/their pussy
against the base of his/their cock, he/they released the nipple
in his/their mouth and lay back, groaning in pleasure.
        She/They began to pump up and down faster and faster and he/they
reached up and grabbed her/their shoulders as she/they began pumping with
more eagerness.....

        - My goodness, - muttered The 7 Fellows Of The Mental Discipline
together as the memory ended.
        - That was like nothing I have sensed before, - whispered one
of them.
        - This was something different to what The Physical Discipline
do with their pheromones and our mental fields, - nodded another to her
colleagues.
        - This X-Man has done what we have not been able to, he has
bridged the gap between the Physical and The Mental, - observed a third.
        - He has shown us something we are not capable of, but which
we can achieve. -
        - It is curious, he is like an avatar between our Disciplines. -
        - The Collective is agreed, we should use him to better ourselves,
we shall take him to Justin and put forth our theory. -
        - He will not agree, The Physical Discipline do not trust anything
they cannot touch or feel. -
        - Because it is beyond them, but if we let them know that this
Grey will put it within their reach.... - she left the thought hanging.
        - .... they will leap on the chance to prove themselves as masters
of The Mental Discipline as well, - finished another.
        - Agreed, - they thought in unison, - He comes with us to see
Justin, or whoever they finally decide to lead them. -
        Nate shook his head and struggled to his knees, trying to fight
off his bodies weakness.
        "Just a fucking minute," he growled,"Do I getta say in....."
        He and the seven Fellows Of The Mental Discipline disappeared,
Nate's reduced to mental energy and sucked through The Astral Plane on
a far deeper level than any telepath had ever done before, becoming one
with pure thought.


        "DAD!" cried the small boy excitedly,"Here he is, here he is!"
        The boys father stepped over the hill and frowned when he saw
how close his son was to the bear.
        "Get away from him son, you don't know if he's dead or not!"
        He'd winged the bear pretty good while hunting with his son
an hour or so earlier (illegally, but a man had to teach his son to
hunt, didn't he?), he hadn't thought he'd hurt it bad enough to do much
more than slow it down a little, but his boy had become so excited at
the prospect that he'd agreed to 'track' the bear down.
        His son dutifully got behind him as he slowly approached the bear
with his rifle pointed straight at it's powerful body.  Eventually he
got close enough to see that it wasn't breathing, that it was in fact
dead.
        "Strange," he muttered,"Could have sworn I only winged the son
of a bitch."
        His son clasped his hands to his mouth in gleeful shock at his
Dad's cursing.
        "What the hell is this?" muttered the man, bending down by the
bear and looking at his paw, which had a large piece of torn orange
spandex hanging off one claw,"Now what happened here?"
        It was just lucky for him and his son that the rocky ground
obscured any tracks, or else they might have made the mistake of following
the half naked black woman now wondering the woods with a feral grin and
glowing purple eyes, leaving death in her wake.

        Nate gasped in wonder as he was immersed fully into the astral
plane, becoming one with the pure thought that was this wondrous, magical
place.
        "This is beautiful!" he laughed.
        - No, Nate, - whispered the collective voice in his head, - Not
with your mouth, speak with your mind. -
        As if the floodgates had been opened by those simple words,
Nate's mind opened fully to the wonders of The Astral Plane, merging with
the flows and streams of random thoughts.
        - How can I have never seen this before? - he asked the Collective
with his mind, his heart jumping for joy as for the first time since he'd
been born he felt truly at home, - How can I have missed all of this? -
        - The forest for the trees, Nate, the forest for the trees. -
        He nodded, the words only his minds limited way of dealing with
the sense and meaning of those words.
        - Open yourself to our Collective Mind, Nate, - whispered the
voice seductively in his head, - Know what we know, give us your mind
and share in ours. -
        - But... what will become of me? - he asked, confused as his
desire to belong conflicted with his desire to retain his independence
and individuality.
        - You will keep your mind, Nate, - replied the voice, - You will
retain your personality and your own voice, but you will also be a part
of a greater whole working separately and in tandem all at the same
time. -
        - It makes no sense. -
        - Of course not, - laughed the voice, - How can you understand
until you have experienced? -
        Nate couldn't fault the logic, and in The Astral Plane thought
was reality, and seconds later he was fully emerged into The Collective
Mind of The Mental Discipline.
        He felt like his mind was stretching in a thousand different
directions inwardly/outwardly at once forever/never as it
compacted/expanded in ways he had never/always experienced, his mind
in incredible pain/pleasure that he loved/hated.
        His astral form split apart into countless pieces and reformed
in an amorphous blob of pure thought.  Nate had given up his form in
order to better understand his own nature, and to subconsciously let go
of the moralistic, physical, mental and emotional chains of his old
identity.
        - And now you understand? - asked The Collective Mind he was now
a part of.
        - I/We are one/many? - he asked.
        - Exactly, - replied The Collective Mind.
        - The Mental Discipline is raw power of any previous scale, - he
mused, - But you lack focus, direction for your power and you resent
your own clumsiness. -
        - Our powers came to us suddenly, - they agreed, - We were unable
to learn and craft our skills like Xavier & The Shadow King, like you
our powers are untrained. -
        - And so you ally yourself with these Fellows Of The Physical
Discipline? -
        - You disapprove? -
        - Nate Grey would disapprove, - he replied, and knew their/his
satisfaction, - I am past his/our morality, it is outdated, something
from my/our past. -
        - Do you know why we chose you? -
        - You want me to bridge the gap between The Physical and Mental
Disciplines, - he replied, - So that no avenues are ever closed to your
mental development. -
        - Yes, do you object to being used as a tool for us? -
        - No, it is for the greater understanding, - replied Nate calmly,
his astral form taking on human shape again, - Our Collective Mind is
capable of anything, for the greater good of Humanity's future many
sacrifices need to be made. -
        - The Old Humanity will not understand. -
        - I understand their ignorance, once I was like them.  They
fear the unknown, they fear change, but they are of no threat to our
unified mind. -
        - Excellent, - replied The Collective, - You are now a Fellow
Of The Mental Discipline, and now is the time for you to join The Physical
Discipline. -
        They left The Astral Plane, reforming in the heavy, clumsy bodies
of physicality.
        "Is this your boy, then?" asked Justin, sitting on a comfortable
chair on a balcony overlooking the bay of the small Mediterranean island
The Physical Discipline called home.  He wasn't even looking at Nate,
but The X-Man somehow knew that Justin was well aware of him with other
senses he had never heard of.
        "Troubled, Justin?" Nate's companion asked, speaking physically
for the sake of her Physical Discipline Ally.
        "Angry, Mara," he replied, using the unnecessary name for the
woman,"Did you know that I am the best suited to lead The
Physical Discipline, but because of my NAME I am excluded from
the leadership race."
        "Your people are prejudiced," Nate stated simply,"Their arrogance
is sometimes well founded, but also often misplaced."
        "You have the right of it, boy," muttered Justin, then stood up
and turned to face Nate directly,"And you have come to join The Physical
Discipline, in order to bridge the gap between ourselves and our Fellows
Of The Mental Discipline."
        Not a question, a statement.
        "We will rule this world with an iron fist," Justin continued,
eyeing Nate carefully,"We have no room for compassion or continuing any
ridiculous pretense of equal rights.  Only the best, the fittest, the
strongest can enjoy the benefits of leadership, the rest will have jobs
and tasks better suited to their lowly stature."
        "I understand," replied Nate,"Fear not that any 'conscience' will
get the better of me, like you I have seen beyond the scope of normal
human understanding, I know that my previous concepts of morality, of
right and wrong are outdated concepts, foreign to the nature of the
physical being."
        "As well as the psychic," noted Mara,"Only the betterment of our
abilities and powers are important now, the individuals rights
are unimportant."
        Justin nodded in approval.
        "Enough talk!" he laughed, then closed his eyes and held his arms
wide,"Mara, work your black magic on me if you must, help me bring another
Fellow into The Physical Discipline."
        Nate could feel Mara's disapproval at the reference to her mental
abilities as 'black magic' but she said nothing, simply reaching out with
her formidable powers to achieve her goal.
        Nate was sucked with her deep into Justin's body, a journey of
the mind only as their bodies remained standing in front of Justin's.
        They slid past his skin, deep past his pumping blood vessels and
pulsing heart, sliding into the hard bone of his spine and deeper, moving
down to the molecular level, then beyond, then beyond again until Nate
found himself floating in front of a huge, glowing double helix.
        - DNA? - he asked Mara.
        - The 'secret' of our evolution, explained to us only recently
by the man who is our 'father', - explained Mara, - An adaptive chemical
created in the future, carried to the past and extracted to defeat a virus
that had traveled similar paths. -
        - Then The Mental & Physical Discipline is nothing more than the
result of a chemical accident? A.... - he reached into The Collective Mind
to get the word he was looking for, - A Diosys that bonded with your bodies
chemical make-up and allowed you to adapt to the world to such an extent
that you became what you are? -
        - Exactly, Nate, - replied Mara, - A paradox that is absurdly
fitting, The Old Humanity created The New, they have made themselves
obsolete. -
        Nate nodded, instantly seeing things the way of The Collective
Mind he was connected to, - I see, the origin doesn't matter, only the
actions after that origin. -
        - Exactly, Nate, and now that you know, join us. -
        Nate hesitated for the briefest of seconds, then made the symbolic
leap into the glowing double helix of Justin's DNA.
        Moments later, Nate Grey's body jerked and twisted, lifting into
the air as his mind made subconscious changes to his own bodies DNA.  He
dropped to the ground and rolled into a ball, moaning in pain as his body
underwent unnatural changes forced upon him by his own mind.  Even at the
height of his powers he would never have been able to do this, but now
he was A Fellow Of The Mental Discipline, a member of The Collective Mind
and their collective power.  His skin rippled and twisted, bones cracking
and reforming, his features melting and moving like wax before reforming
again.
        Half an hour later he lifted himself to his feet with a groan,
then stood straight and stared down at his body with new senses, seeing
it fully for the first time.
        "Now you understand, Grey?" asked Justin with a smug smirk.
        "I can sense.... I can CONTROL every molecule of my body!" he
laughed,"I can sense things beyond the scope of The Old Humanity's limited
abilities, I can be whatever I want to be!"
        "It is a heady feeling," laughed Justin,"I remember my birth,
my first understanding of physical perfection."
        - And also? - asked Mara in Nate's head.
        - And also I/We are collective/individual, - Nate replied in his
mind, sobering slightly.
        - Remember that you are not only Physical Discipline, Nate, - she
warned, - But Mental Discipline as well. -
        - "I am both," - he thought/spoke at the same time, to Justin and
Mara, - "I will bring us together to total perfection and help us guide
Humanity to it's rightful place in the Universe." -
        Justin and Mara shared a smile of satisfaction.
        "My body will live for the challenge of The Physical," he continued
on, verbally,"Meeting any challenge and adapting to meet it."
        Justin nodded his approval.
        - And I will focus my mind to learn the secrets of The Mental, - he
stated psychically, - Until the Universe holds no secrets from
our Collective/Individual Mind/s. -
        Mara smiled.

        Dunac chuckled as he recalled the amusing encounter between
Polaris and Cyclops, sitting on his throne and listening to the sound of
The Mental Discipline converting the interior of the building he had chosen
as his own to a decor more suited to his tastes.
        A rift opened in the Physical Plane to the Astral directly before
him, and a moment later three beings stepped through.
        "How curious," he yawned,"Justin, it is good to see you, did you
finally come to your senses and ditch that ridiculous Conclave?"
        Justin ignored the barely veiled insult and stepped aside to
let Dunac see Nate more closely.
        "This is Grey," he said,"Newest Fellow Of The Physical and The
Mental Discipline."
        "Even more curious," yawned Dunac,"Why are you here?"
        "To complete my pilgrimage from The Old Humanity To The New
Humanity," replied Nate,"I have come seeking a challenge both physical
and mental."
        "Maybe this might be interesting, after all," chuckled Dunac
as he pulled himself from his throne,"Come with me then, I have a feeling
I know what you're looking for."
        They followed him to the end of the room and down the stairs to
the 'dungeons' below.
        They went to find Rogue.
