Title: Days of Becoming, Chapter 42: “Ghosts in the Smoke”
Author: Talktooloose
’Verse: X-Men movieverse
Betas: mofic and lux_apollo. Thanks for enthusiasm and well-placed questions.
Disclaimers: Marvel and 20th Century own the X-Men, but often get it wrong. I own my original characters, for all the profit that brings. I also get it wrong, but I don't charge people for it.

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. This novel does not take X-Men Origins: Wolverine as canon.

Previously in Days of Becoming: The last time we saw Bobby and John, they were wandering around San Francisco in the wake of events at Alcatraz. They were looking for the missing and confused Charles Xavier (in his new body). They eventually found him holed up with Magneto, who was himself crippled by side-effects of the mutant cure. Then something happened.
