Disclaimer: I don't own X-Men or the Marauders.
Full Summary: The captured X-Men are home and glad to be back. Rogue, X-23, and Wanda face difficulties with relationships. -cough- Stupid boys -cough- They soon realize that isn't the only problem as they witness weird things happening to Jean. The problems are soon forgotten as more mutants show up at the mansion... until someone attacks their fellow comrades and Jean flees.
Pairings: (There's a lot) Romy, Kiotr, Jubby, Jott, Janda, Xietro, Betsy/Warren. I think they're is the start of Danex, Hank/Storm, and LanceOC. Um... yah I think that's it. Anywho, enjoy!
Story of A Guilty Heart: Betrayals
Prologue
"So he's dead?" Scrambler asked cautiously.
Sabretooth growled. "Of Course he's dead! He's got a bullet in his forehead! Did you expect him to survive it?" He roared.
"Calm down!" Malice yelled. She was playing with her green hair. "Everyone heard the gun shot. We just didn't know who had been shot."
Blockbuster bent forward. "So who's in charge now?"
Scalphunter gave him an annoyed look. "I am of course!" He bellowed.
Malice looked up from twirling her hair around her finger. "Excuse me?" She said in a slow, threatening tone.
Arclight sat up. "Well it does make sense. He was second in command. Plus he was the favourite."
Riptide nodded. "I vote Scalphunter our new boss!"
Prizm raised his hand. "I second that!" He yelled instantly. Vertigo and Arclight nodded their heads in agreement.
"I was field leader!" Malice spat. "You can't forget that! I was also second in charge! I should be the new boss!" She hissed, green hair flowing around her shoulders.
"Well, it's whoever gets the majority of the votes." Blockbuster answered fairly. "I say Scalphunter." He voted.
"Same." Scrambler replied with a short wave of his hand.
Malice looked at everyone in shock. "Sabretooth?" She asked.
Sabretooth growled. "Sinister is gone. No point in staying." He stomped out of the room.
"Where do you think he's going?" Arclight asked.
Scalphunter shrugged. "I could care less. Point is, he's no longer a Marauder." Everyone else nodded.
Malice stood up defiantly. "Wherever he's going it's better then staying here!" She ran out of the room after Sabretooth. She ran outside to see him trudging through the snow. "Sabretooth!" She yelled.
He growled as she ran up to him. He grabbed her around the throat and pulled her close to his face. "Leave me alone, Malice. I work alone!" He threw her into the snow and continued walking.
Malice sat in the snow. "Well, from now on, I do too." She let out a small laugh as she flew out of the snow, and left Murmansk.
