An X-Force in-your-face jam:

OPERATION: RECIPROCITY

FOREWORD

Okay. To clarify matters, yes, this is the story that was originally titled 'During The Shadows Of The Future'. It was set in the same future as the original story, called 'In The Shadows Of The Future'. The plan, way back when I wrote ITSOTF, was just to write a couple of stories, and differentiate them with prepositions, such as 'In' and 'During'. But then, the ideas for this future boomed in my head, and I found myself in a situation that I couldn't come up with enough prepositions for all the stories, and even if I could, they'd be hell to differentiate from each other. Thus, I have decided to rename ITSOTF, and DTSOTF. DTSOTF is this story - 'Operation: Reciprocity'. It got this name mostly to be a slight 'in-joke' rebuttal towards another fanfic... Which I am not going to name. I'll leave you hanging and wondering. ;)

Now, hereafter follows the story in its entirety, and I hope you enjoy it. Please send comments my way, so I'll have some incentive to keep these stories coming. Of course, if you hated the story, you'll probably rather not drop me a line so I won't write any more. ;)
