Title: Days of Becoming, Chapter 29 - “Invasion (X2)”
Author: Talktooloose
'Verse: X-Men movieverse
Warnings: Violence, swearing, unseemly behavior, inappropriate nostalgia
Betas: mofic and lux_apollo. Thanks for suffering through two drafts. Read their fic.
Disclaimers: Marvel and 20th Century own the X-Men, I own my original characters, and we have joint custody of the children.

Series Summary: This novel focuses mainly on the paths Iceman and Pyro take on their way to adulthood and how they discover and deal with their love for each other. It is a novel about what Joni Mitchell calls ”the dream's malfunction” and how we can learn to make our own dreams when our heroes fail us. Other X characters (including ones from comicverse and elsewhere) and OC's play prominent roles and the action begins before X1, continues through the events of X2 and X3 and concludes in the aftermath of that movie.

Previously in Days of Becoming: John's life is a noisy mess. His boyfriend (whose life is a quiet mess) has left him for a girl, he has grown disillusioned with his dream of being a writer, and he teeters on the brink of expulsion from Xavier's school. Just when he thinks life can't get any worse, he is confronted in the mansion, in the middle of the night by a commando, aiming a gun his way.
