This story is my brainchild born from hypothesizing about alternate scenes from X-2. Part 1 takes place during the movie, Part 2 will take place after it. I am throwing this story together in the span of 72 hours, it may be a little raw but that's ok. Thanks to Karen and UKTara for being last-minute betas for me!!! Cyclops's powers come into question in the middle of Part 2. While it may or may not go along with movie canon, this is *my* interpretation of his mutant ability. Just wanted to get that out there so I don't get fifty comments on "Well Scott can blah blah but he can't blah blah blah blah." :O) Cool!
