It has been two and a half months since Jason was last seen at the school.  He left unannounced for quite some time, and many were worried about him. But none more so than Laura. They tried using Cerebro to find him but strangely the professor could not find any trace of him, leading to the thought of the worst. Some have made up their own theories on what happened to him. Kidnapped, hurt, dead. But today he came back, to everyone’s surprise. Whether they admit it or not.

As he walks in and opens the gates to the front yard, Logan and Dr. McCoy were already outside. Logan runs up to Jason and embraces him, only to pull away quickly and rub his neck.  “KID! Where have you been? We’ve been worried sick about you! We…well some of us thought you were dead….me included.” In a calm tone he said to Logan, “I’m fine Logan, it’s good to see you too. Dr. McCoy you as well.” “My boy, get over here.” He hugs Jason as well, less hesitant then Logan. Kitty and Bobby notice Jason out the window and run outside. Kitty practically jumps onto Jason and after her feet touch the ground Bobby and Kitty group hug him. “I missed you guys so much.” He said. “I knew you weren’t dead!” Kitty yelled.  “I tried telling them that but…” he hushes her. “I know, I know. Where is she?” “In your room. She hasn’t left since you disappeared. She’s just been sitting on your bed since you left. She said she felt you weren’t dead but there was always that doubt in her mind. That “what if”.” “Thanks kit.” He said calmly. And he walks into the school.

As he walks into his room, Laura is lying face down on the pillow of his bed. He walks in and sits down on the bed next to her. He put his hand on her shoulder and leans in to her ear. “Hey beautiful.” She immediately jumps up and hugs him. She starts to cry and in a sniffle she says “I…I was scared you were gone *sniff*. I missed you so much.”  “ I missed you too.” And he picks her head up and kisses her. “Where were you all this time?” she says wiping the tears from her eyes. “I’ll tell you soon. Everyone in fact. But right now that’s not important. What’s important is I’m here now.”

After Jason and Laura have their long awaited reunion, Jason calls everyone to the main room for a sort of meeting. He sits down and waits for everyone to come in. Even some of the other students who didn’t know him very well were all there.

As soon as everyone is present Jason begins talking. “Now, I’m sure all of you have been more than curious as to my whereabouts recently. Well I believe all of you deserve an explanation. I guess I will start from the beginning. For those of you who believed I was kidnapped, well you are only half right. The day I disappeared, a strange six-armed woman appeared out of a blue wormhole. She grabbed me and told me not to move. Of course I fought back, attempting to shock her enough to stun her. But strangely to no avail. She jumped into another wormhole and blacked me out. I came too what seemed like moments later, but I later found out it was weeks. I was hooked up to some kind of machine in the lair of a horribly ugly creature named “Mojo”. “You my boy, are going to be a star!” he said to me. He went on to tell me I was going to be a part of his “survival TV show.” I refused and he told me I was going to whether I liked it or not, and I was hit on the back of my head by the woman who kidnapped me.

‘I awoke several hours later, in a strange wooded area. I was immediately shot at by some sort of drones, and was chased about the entire area.” Kurt (also known as Nightcrawler) interrupted him. “Vhy didn’t you try to escape?” “I did. The whole thing seemed to be walled off by an invisible dome. I knew I had to find this “Mojo” and get out ASAP. I eventually followed a camera back to his hidden lair. He was busy watching some sort of TV program, giving me a chance to sneak in. It wasn’t long before the woman, who I eventually learned went by the name of spiral, grabbed me and threw me in front of Mojo. “You little brat, you aren’t supposed to be in here! I guess I’ll just have to take care of you. Oh Taskmater?!” Out comes a man in a blue costume with a skull mask. He had some sort of cables attached to the back of his head. He fought like several different super hero’s at once. And it took me a very good while to get the cables off his head. Mojo didn’t expect me to come out breathing, and immediately told spiral to get him out of there, before me and this “Taskmaster” could get to him.

“Aw man. My head’s poundin’. Hey thanks kid. That creep-o had me trapped here foreva’. Let’s get outta here.” “But where exactly is here?” “Good point kid. Let’s take a look outside.” We walked out and discovered we were in the middle of the Arizona desert. No way knowing what way to go, my new friend said to me, “Well, let’s start walkin’.” Professor Xavier interrupts him. “Now my boy I would like to point out I looked for you using Cerebro a number of times. How is it he couldn’t find you?” “Ah, I will get to that later.

‘ As I was saying, as we walked aimlessly in the desert, my friend and I got acquainted. He went on to tell me his name is Tony and he goes by Taskmaster, and that has an amazing ability to watch another person's physical movements and duplicate them without practice, no matter how complex. He then began to ask me my name and who I was. “I’m Jason, Jason Highfield. I’m a student at the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.” “Wait wait wait, like the mutant school?” “Yup.” “So what’s your power then?” he demonstrates by making a ball of electricity in both his hands. “Damn that’s cool! So…what’d they kick you out or somthin’?” “Nope I was kidnapped by the six arm bitch. Taking right out to where ever the hell that was.” “Sounds like a shitty day. Anyone waitin’ for ya back home?” I told him about all of my friends here, and of course Laura. He began to crack jokes and tried to ease up any tension left.

‘After I’d say about a mile of walking Tony spotted out in the distance a man on a motorcycle. “Hey kid look! HEYY! OVER HERE!” he starts jumping up and down flailing his arms, and then suddenly stops. “Wait a sec…is he…is that…kid run.” “What?” “RUN!” and he pulls me the opposite direction “Why are we running!?” I yelled. “That’s no ordinary dude on a bike!” I looked back for just a moment and he was much closer than a second ago. I got a good look and saw he was on fire! Not only that, but his head was nothing but a skull! “It’s the rider kid!” he screamed.” Scott (better known as Cyclops) says “Wait, the GHOST Rider!?” “Yup. The same. And he looked pissed. Tony and I ran for a while but there’s no running from the rider, we learned that the hard way. He made a ring of fire around us and stepped off his bike. We were piss-your-pants scared. He says in his deep, bellowing voice, “Time to pay.” He took a look at both of us, we were paralyzed, and focused his view on Tony. “You first.” Tony fought back but bullets don’t do shit do him. While he was distracted with Tony I came up behind him and shocked his “face”. Although I thought I was dead, he dropped to the ground and started squirming. He eventually extinguished and became human again. “*Gasp* oh shit. Thanks. Whatever you did brought me back. I can only control him so much. Name’s Johnny Blaze.” “Jason Highfield, that’s Tony. We’ve been stuck out here for a while. Think you could help us out?” “ARE YOU KIDDIN’ ME?! I AINT GETTIN’ ON THAT THING WITH HIM!” “Hey I’d be more than happy to give you guys a ride to the nearest town.” “C’mon Tony he’s the only chance we got.” “Uh-uh no way. Not in this life. Not ever-ugh!” I knocked him over the head and he went out like a light. “Okay I’ll just throw him behind me and we can get goin’. Thanks.” “Don’t mention it.”

“I really appreciate the ride and so does Tony.” I said to him after he dropped us off. “Not a problem. Next time I…he runs into you guys, I’ll make sure you stay okay. I can’t promise anything about your friend there. Rider didn’t like him too much. You ever need a favor call me. Catch ya later.”  “Ugh ah muh…huh? Where are we?” “In town Tony. You fainted and Johnny drove us here. “Oh…” It was a small little town, not much but enough. It had a few houses, a gas station, some clothing stores, a grocery store, a gun shop, a dirt road, barely any grass, and out of all things a starbucks. I look at my clothes and notice they were filthy. I walked into the clothing store and Tony went to buy some new guns and ammo. I come out of the clothing store and Tony was outside waiting for me. He had his hood and mask off and it was the first time I actually saw his face. “Here kid. Lightning bolts won’t always help.” And he handed me two 45.’s and an ammo belt. “So where to next?” he said. “We need to get back to New York. I’ll go grab a map from the gas station and we can find the nearest train station.” “Alright sounds good.”

‘So we do just that and start walking to the train station. On our way Tony says, “Hmm…somethin’ don’t feel right.” And in a poof someone in red and black, armed to the teeth, grabs Tony. “Tasky! Where ya been buddy? Oo who’s your friend?” I drew my guns on him. “Let him go.” “Oooo he’s got some nice shiny new doorknobs. So do I! Wanna’ trade? Maybe you want some kitana’s or grenades?  ” “Wade shut the hell up and let me go.” “Tasky you’re no fun.” “Sorry kid, this is…” “Deadpool’s the name! Slayin’s m’game! Nice ta meet ya!” Wolverine snarled at this. “Deadpool?! Oh theres a pain in the ear.” “Yeah he talked about you a lot too. “So what brings two fine young gentlemen like yourself out here?” “We got lost. See ya.” Tony said as he walked away. “Wait wait wait buddy I could help you. Where you headed?” Deadpool was following us each step. “Home.” Tony said, not even looking back. “Tony I really think he could help. He seems okay and he can teleport. Way better than a train.” “Please Tasky. Pleeeeeaaaaaasssseeeee.” “Fine. But only because I don’t want you to knock me out again.” “Yayyyyy! We’re gonna have tons a fun!” he then grabs us and teleports us to back to New York. Only he drops us in the middle of Manhattan. At night. “Well guys it’s been real. Places to go, people to kill. See ya!” and he disappears. “Son of a! That maniac never can be trusted. I have no clue where we are. Maybe we should call a cab.” “Tony I don’t think I cab is gonna pick YOU up. You look like death’s hitman.” “Yeah you’re right. There’s gotta be a way.”

‘All of a sudden we see someone in black sling across the rooftops over our heads. I said “What was that? Spider-Man?” “Spider-Man ain’t wore black for awhile kid. C’mon let’s check it out.” We made our way up to the rooftops and catch up with this person in black. We thought we lost her and start looking around. She sneaks up behind us and says “Looking for something boys?” She had long white hair, a mask covering her eyes, and black latex suit lined with white fur. Tony said to her “Well hello there Ms…?” “What’s it to you Skully?” “Heheheh Skully. Anyway, what my friend here is trying to say is that we are lost and you look like someone who knows her way around New York.” “You two don’t look like your average lost tourists. And don’t you know not to trust a stray kitty right away?” she said coming up close to us. “We aren’t.” I said, while I involuntarily arched my arms. “Mmm I see. So boys what are you looking for?” “Well he’s lookin’ for his school and I go where he goes really.” Tony said to her. “School? I’m guessing you don’t mean a Midtown high?” “No haha, I mean Professor Xavier’s school for gifted youngsters.” “The mutant place huh? Give Wolvie my best will ya?”


‘So she ended up taking us back home. She told me before she left, “If you need anything else you let me know. I’ll see you around.” And now I’m here. Back with you guys. I missed you all so much I really did. It’s good to be back home.” “Now my boy, I think we would all like to know how Cerebro couldn’t find you.” The Professor said. “Oh I almost forgot that part. While following the woman, who said her name was Black Cat, back here she noticed something on the back of my neck. It was a small little device, no bigger than a dime. I’m guessing Mojo delt with mutants before and got wise to telepaths. I think it blocks telepathic communication.” “Fascinating.” Beast stood up and said, “Well I think we are all grateful you are just back here in one piece. Welcome back home son.”

While everyone is leaving the room Laura comes up to Jason and kisses him on the cheek. “I can’t believe all that happened and you’re still alive. Don’t ever do that again.” And she hugs him once more. And then attempts to leave.
This story pretty much explains itself. It's my sequal to my story "X-23". And notice at the end the word "Attemps" for a second.
