I can't catch you when you fall

The Mutant Registration Act is enacted, sending the X-Men and Brotherhood into disarray. John is stranded with a small, separated group of the X-Men. They all must find their way back together again, the X-Men and Brotherhood working together to combat prejudice. John and Bobby must relearn to cohabitate after years apart, and figure out what they truly mean to each other.

This fic is part of a series. If you want the full context, you can read the Scogean fic before or after it, but I did try to make it as comprehensible as possible without beating a dead horse for those that read the first part.I am happy to answer any clarifying questions in the comments for those that don't want to read my much longer Scogean fic. That was my maximum effort fic with a beta reader and everything, and this is my minimal effort fic without a beta reader, because I wanted to tell their story, but my life is about to get very busy, so I needed to limit my word count in order to finish the series before I run out of time and steam.For those that want a better understanding of the universe that they are in, this is an amalgamation of all of the different X-Men media that I have consumed, however, the biggest influences for the Allerdrake fic are going to be the 2000's movies, obviously, and X-Men Evolution, with Bobby's backstory being a mix of the movies and the First Class comics.
