1 Havens

Hello all! You know the usual story. But in case you don't, I'll tell it to you…(Author clears her throat.)…*Ahem…*--------------Deep Breath is taken--- -----

I DON'T OWN X-MEN: EVOLUTION SO DONM'T SUE ME!!

Besides, I'm only fifteen years old and can barely afford to pay for colorguard; you expect to be able to pay for a lawyer? Blah, blah, blah…Okay, thanks for caring. By the way, the only things about this story I do own are the ones that I made up. Okay? … Okay!

(Note: this takes place at the very moment after Mystique's last line of "Day of Reckoning: Part Two." If I get the line wrong, please forgive me, I only saw it a few hours ago, and don't know if the line's the right one.)

Part One: A friend in need…

"And now, things are going to get very interesting…"

"I think not." The sound of a laser charging went off behind Mystique's head and someone said, "Freeze. Move and I'll shoot."

Scott and Jean craned their heads to see that behind Mystique stood a girl in a blue suit who had a laser gun pointed at Mystique's head.

Mystique smirked and spun to kick the girl in the head.

"Ah!" Mystique cried out when the girl reached up her hand at a blinding speed and grabbed her leg. The girl smirked back at Mystique. "Nice try," she snapped, twisting her arm and sending mystique in spinning flip to the ground. When Mystique began to get up, the girl reached out her foot and placed it in the small of the shape shifter's back, pushing her back down to the ground. She leveled the gun at Wanda, who had begun to move forward. "Don't try anything funny." The girl snapped the fingers of her free hand and a black and white blur that turned out to be two little girls appeared. The girl gestured at Mystique. "Get her on board," she ordered. The two girls shook their heads, strapped odd mechanical devices to Mystique's ankles and wrists, and picked her up before zooming off in a direction towards the cliffs. The air shimmered and they disappeared.

The first girl turned to the X-Men and Brotherhood. She gave Wanda a look that clearly said, 'Nothing funny', and holstered the weapon she was holding to a strap that hung about her waist. She held up her hands in a peaceful manner and actually bowed to the group of assembled teens and one adult. In the distance, a siren could be heard.

"My codename's Chameleon. I come here on behalf of my mistress." 'Chameleon' turned to Storm. "I believe Professor Xavier told you about my mistress. I was told to use the code word, 'Haven.' Does this mean anything to you?"

Storm nodded. "Yes it does. But, I see no means of transportation nearby."

The girl snapped her fingers a second time and the air above the cliffs shimmered again. Causing a silver jet to appear. It was floating about twenty feet above the ground and had its' hatch open with it's ramp settled on the ground. "Is this sufficient for the purpose needed?" she asked as someone walked down the ramp and stood at the bottom. They raised an arm and held the other hand to their ear. The girl before the group cocked her head to the side and nodded, a small device in her ear could be seen. Chameleon turned to Storm again. "I'm afraid that there is not much more time. If you are going to accept the offer Xavier told you about, you need to accept it now." At a much closer distance now, the sirens could be heard. Chameleon looked towards them and turned back. "Well?"

Storm faced the group and sighed. "We accept. Everyone, onto that jet. We need to get out of here before the police arrives." Storm then turned towards the jet and followed the young girl in blue towards it. The group of X-Men followed her, but the brotherhood stayed behind.

Chameleon stopped walking when she noticed that they weren't following. "Aren't you coming?" she asked.

"We're not X-Men. And it sounds like your nice offer is open only to them," Lance spoke up.

Chameleon sighed. She waved a hand for the X-Men to continue towards the jet and spoke words that we're obviously directed to someone on the jet, but were meant to be heard by the Brotherhood as well. "Vyne, contact the mistress and inform her that we're bringing those who were not part of the parameters that Xavier sent to us."

The X-Men we're on the jet by now, and saw a young man in the cockpit nod his head while saying, "Right," and began to speak in rapid Spanish to someone who he rung up on the comm. Back outside, the girl turned towards the brotherhood again. "Right now, it doesn't matter who you side with. What matters is getting you away from here before—Shit! Anna! Prepare for take off! The cops are here." The girl started running towards the jet as police cars came to a stop twenty feet away from the brotherhood and police filed out of them with guns drawn. The girl skidded to a stop when the brotherhood didn't follow and scowled at them. "Move! Or do you want to have to explain things to the cops?"

Chameleon's words struck home and the brotherhood began to run towards the jet. The police yelled, "Freeze!" but the group didn't stop.

Then the police opened fire.
