Forward pointer I know squat about America so if im wrong on landmarks don't take it personally
I don't own anything on X-men: evolution O.k. I don't expect every one to like it but this is merely for entertainment purposes and not for personal gain (Bwhahahaha) ahem anyway enjoy. Read & review
I apologise before hand for the sheer atrocity that is Rogues accent. I just can't seem to get it right. Oh and trust me it's gonna just get worse from here as I use her more often.
P.S: X-24 is mine you can use the name… because someone out there probably already has but the character is mine don't use him without permission. (Not like you'd want to but I'm covering all the bases here)
How I write a space between lines is a change in location.

X-men
Somewhere in the mountains north of Bayville a young woman was running for her life, her black hair matted thick with blood and her body cut in thousands of places. If it wasn't for her accelerated healing factor she would have bled to death back there. All she needed was a place to catch her breath then maybe she would be able to heal some wounds but the trees were too sparse and the snow to fresh to hide her path from her pursuers. "I see her! All units close in. she wont get away we have her this time!" a loud voice echoed from behind her seconds later something hit her hard in the shoulder glancing over she saw the bright red plume of a dart, most likely filled with a tranquillizer of some sort sticking out. She could feel the dart take affect everything around her seemed to slow to a crawl she blinked a few times trying to clear her head but only succeeded in making the path sway in front of her. Digging deep she tried to run faster to increase the distance between her and her would be captors but the added strain was all that was needed to re-open some of the cuts that had managed to heal.
"Hurry up you fools she's getting away! Damn it. Shoot her again!" there was an audible thwip as two more darts bit into her body and it wasn't long before the contents took effect causing her vision to blur and making her mind clouded and sluggish. She barely even noticed the path opening up onto a cliff edge that over looked a small lake. Stumbling forward toward the edge groggily as the tranquillizer numbed all her senses blocking her vision. The loosely packed rubble of the cliffs edge couldn't support her weight and the entire thing crumbled beneath her boot sending her careening downward into the ice cold waters of the lake.

"X-men suit up and move out we got a job to do!" Logan shouted over the hustle and bustle of the teenagers who were frantically trying to get some breakfast. The commotion quickly quieted down as the X-men turned their attention his way though Kurt was still stuffing his face with a blueberry muffin.
"What we got?" Scott asked trying to take charge of the situation
"Trouble, Seems we got a girl being chased by a small army up in the mountains" just mere moments after he'd finished Charles Xavier interrupted telepathically
Logan the X-men are needed in Downtown New-York
'Cant the authorities deal with this chuck' Logan asked
No. This problem is too big for the police to handle with out endangering innocent civilians. We need to get this under control as quickly as possible. It seems someone has reinstated the sentinel program. Logan physically sighed
"Change of plans slim. You're needed in Downtown New-York"
"What about the girl?"
"I'll handle that. Nightcrawler and half pint'll your coming with me."
"Hey I like have a name!" Kitty whined hitting him in the arm
"But…" Kurt tried
"Shut up and move. Get moving now!"
"But" Scott said
"Don't but me! We'll be able to handle it now get movin!" there was a few disgruntled mumblings passed between the teens as they filed out and headed for the locker room. This was supposed to be there day off and he had them running about like marines.
School had been cancelled until further notice for repairs after Lances little 'tiff' with kitty had brought the gyms roof down on top of them, compromising the entire building. The council had closed its doors until the danger had passed. Kitty hadn't heard the end of it for days as the other mutant students just wouldn't let it drop and constantly teased her for it. At first Logan had put them through hell with his constant Danger-Room sessions. That is until Xavier made him stop by threatening to take away his cigars and beer privileges. Kitty swore he got some kind of sick twisted pleasure from putting them all through that but that was only yesterday afternoon and no-one had had the time to fully recover and they were still feeling the burn from Logan's Juggernaut run.
"That guy's obsessed. Ow! My neck still hurts from hitting that wall during practice" Bobby drake A.K.A Iceman said rubbing said neck.
"Just hurry up and get dressed Iceman it's obvious its serious or else he wouldn't have assembled the full team" Scott said while hopping about trying to pull on the leg of his uniform
"Kiss up" Ice man whispered under his breath. Even though they weren't pleased with having to work on there day off things went quickly and in less than ten minutes the X-jet was primed and had risen out of the basketball court flying at full speed toward the Sentinel. While the plastic copter was already halfway to the mountain.

"Are you crazy? I am not diving in after her! Face it we'd have seen her climb out from here. She's obviously drowned by now!" one of the men shouted pointing at the freezing water of the lake
"Shut up! She's presumed alive until we find the body!" Both men clad in full military stealth gear stared at the lake the soft surface no longer being broken by the bubbles coming to the surface. The leader of the two was staring intently at his unmoving reflection. He'd seen at least two darts hit her square in the back, each one had enough tranquillizer in them to take down a horse she shouldn't have been able to stand let alone keep running, but that's what she just had done. He had to be impressed with her determination no normal person could dare try do what she had done but something wasn't right common sense told him she would have drowned by now but a nagging voice in the back of his mind wouldn't let him believe it. It just seemed to easy but the other man on the other hand couldn't figure out why they were still hanging round she was obviously sleeping with the fishes was he gonna sit there until her lifeless body floated to the surface
"Come on Sir we're wasting time here are target is gonna get away."
"You heard the boss the witnesses…" 'This is ridiculous I'm getting paranoid. She has to be dead by now… shouldn't she?' his musings were cut short as his radio buzzed to life. He brought it to his ear and pressed the button "Team one here. What's the situation?" he released the button and waited for a reply but none ever came the small black box just buzzed with static "I said what's your situation answer me dammit! What the hell is going on over there?" his partner was beginning to lose his nerve and shot his gaze around the trees franticly as the static continued to drone on
"W…what's happening Sir?" he just ignored him while furiously trying to get through to his team
"Teams two and three come in!" for a second time nothing happened, but after a short pause the static cleared his hopes rose dispersing the growing fears that his man hadn't made it he smiled to himself as he relaxed but his feelings were cut short as a strange unfamiliar voice spoke over the link
"There once were three… now there's one. Your sins have come to haunt you in physical form. All those that bare the name of man shall not live to see the light of day. For I will take pleasure killing you" the voice trailed off only to be replaced with a loud crunch before the radio went dead.
"Shit! Sir w…what was that? Sir! Sir!" becoming more and more uneasy he unslung rifle and aimed randomly at the darkness that was the tree line
"Calm down kid every thing's gonna be fine!" he'd meant it to sound convincing but it did little to hide the fear in his own voice. He walked over to him and shook his shoulders "Come on we're gonna get through this"
"Keep telling yourself that as many times as you want he might believe you… eventually. But it's never going to be true" it was the same voice from the radio now it sounded mere metres away. Both men paled under their masks neither liked how the voice sounded. It sounded too calm it held no fear no anxiousness… no compassion. They spun round frantically to face their demon
"X…X-24"
"It is time to die little man!" …

"Anyone know what we're up against?" Iceman asked between yawns. He been so bored he made a little ice sculpture which he periodically spun in his palm. Cyclops sighed he'd been so caught up in Logan's disrespectful manners he'd forgotten to ask for a brief on what it was they were supposed to be doing. He lent over from the wheel and input some seemingly random details into the on-board computer. The computer beeped and hummed as it processed the data before bringing what they need up on a little screen seeing the answer Scott sighed again.
"This is gonna be a problem" he whispered to himself "Listen up X-men!" everyone sat up and stopped doing what they were doing, by the way he sounded this would be important "It looks like we've got another Sentinel attack on our hands"
"SENTINEL!" they all shouted in unison a couple falling back into there seats dejected
"Man this sucks"
"Shut up Bobby!" Tabitha sneered
"Mahn not those losers again. I thought we had got rid of them foh good" Rogue said casually wiping away a stray strand of white hair
"I don't get it? why send just us I heard about what happened last time" Tabitha asked
"We can do this. We just have to work as a team and remember are training and we will make it through" Storm said
"Yeah we can do this. Nothing is too much for the X-men!"
"Whooo! You said it." Tabitha yelled giving Bobby a high five.
"Pfft" Rogue just rolled her eyes
"Look alive team we're here" Cyclops said punching in more commands stopping the jet in a hover "Storm, Iceman you know the drill give us as much cover as you can so we can land. I want that thing occupied!" Storm nodded before heading to the airlock and flying out her eyes faded to white as the sky grew dark, Iceman turned to his trusted ice from before running to the opening and flipping out creating a bridge of ice under his feet.
The two went straight for the Sentinel readying their attacks, Strangely enough it was already pre-occupied it was shooting wildly at a man with large white feathered wings that was flying around its head as someone attacked from the ground. He looked an awful lot like gambit.
"What's he doin here?" Iceman asked no-one in-particular. Storm flew high into the air and summoned bolts of lightening which ripped through the machine but showed little or no damage while he slid in and shot a thick stream of ice at the ground under the Sentinels feet. He was about to shout his idea to the others but they'd seemed to figure it out on their own, Gambit hit it in the chest with a charged card sending it stumbling backward struggling for grip on the slick ice it took a step back "Damn it didn't work!" schling 'Spoke too soon' a thin red line hit the Sentinel square in the face sending it falling backwards
