The deep sound of bass could be heard as well as the hum of vibrating grass and metal. The screeching tires accompanying the music gave it away that it was a vehicle coming closer. Many people standing on the lawn and even near the front of the house could be seen stopped and looking towards the ever-increasing noise.
A dirty yellow cab flew over the last hill before turning into the driveway. It was speeding and hit the asphalt with such force that sparks could be seen under it. The 'TAXI' light on top had busted off and was hanging by its wiring harness and blinking sporadically.
When it pulled up to the front of the mansion everyone could see the many bullet holes and blood covering the car. The suspension could be heard straining as movement inside the car began. When the backdoor opened a man covered in black and red jumped out and began singling. Badly.
"Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped-turned upside down and I'd like to take a minute just sit right there I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air."
A woman with pale white skin and a black marking around her eye stepped out next, "We're in New York."
She wore a black leather one-piece suit that zipped up the middle, stopping halfway up her chest and showing cleavage. There were gun holsters on each thigh where she kept a pair of .45 pistols for quick access. Her black hair was cut short and it framed her face.
"Same difference, they both smell like ass." Deadpool sighed.
"Does he ever shut up?" Cable said as he got out of the car and stood next to domino.
"Only when you say the safe word." They didn't need to see under the mask to tell Deadpool was wiggling his brows.
Colossus stepped out of the cab last, bending the door past its intended opening point and breaking it off the hinges. "Apologies. I'll just… set this… there." He rambled awkwardly to Dopinder.
Deadpool stretched his arms over his head enthusiastically as he looked around, "So this is it huh? School for the gifted. Guess they park the short bus out back then?"
"Why did we bring him again?" the young girl with dark lipstick and shaved head asked with an aggravated tone.
"I'm the lovable comic relief remember?" Deadpool said and waved at some of the people in the window who were staring at him, "Hi, do you have time to talk about our lord and savior?"
"You're going to have to come inside if you want to talk to Savior." Warhead said and brushed past him to the front door.
"Wait- who?" he called after her.
Domino laughed, "Well I'll be damned. 'Mr. Shit Talker' doesn't know who Savior is."
Cable cleared his throat and shifted next to her, "Who's that?"
A giant metal hand patted him on the shoulder, making him nearly lose his balance, "Come. I will give you tour and introduce you to X Men."
"Hey Ellie, wait up!" Domino called after her.
"I told you my name is Negasonic Teenage Warhead!" she yelled angrily from inside.
Deadpool clutched his stomach in laughter as they followed her inside, "Your name is Ellie?!"
He was standing in the large doorway of the mansion when he saw a bright orange ball of supercharged light coming towards him. "INCOMING!" one voice called out. "LOOK OUT!" another yelled from the same hallway it was coming from.
It hit him in the chest and exploded upon impact, sending him out the same door he had just walked through and down the front steps into the gravel driveway. Deadpool landed on his back with his limbs spread out.
"Starting off our tour, to the right you'll see a pile of shit." Domino waved her arm enthusiastically towards his smoldering body.
Colossus pointed at Warhead, "No using powers to harm another X-Men! It's rule number- "
"Yeah, yeah." She said sarcastically as she stormed off, leaving them in the entryway.
"Now that you are with X-Men, you will need to follow the rules. I will get a rulebook for each of you before the tour is over." Colossus said as they moved on throughout the house.
Cable rolled his eyes, "We aren't some little kids that you can pull some 'under my roof' shit."
"He may not be able to, but this is my house." A deep voice said from behind them. "I am Professor Charles Xavier, welcome to my school for the gifted."
"Professor." Colossus greeted with a small nod of his head.
He was a bald man with piercing blue eyes, and he wore a tailed gray suit with a red tie. He sat in a motorized wheelchair that slowly crept forward. Domino stepped around Cable and bent down to his welcoming arms.
"Hey X, it's good to see you again." She said while embracing him and casually patting his back.
"It seems we are missing one of your friends."
"He's not our friend." Cable and Domino said in unison.
"There's a liiiiight…. Over at the Frankenstein plaaaace." His sing-song voice got closer and louder. "GREAT SCOTT!" Deadpool yelled and pointed at Charles when he saw him.
He jogged down the hall where they were gathered and held his hand out, "So this is where you're hiding all the unconventional conventionalists, you sneaky little dooder." He looked him up and down and nodded before adding, "Stewart timeline. The preferred one. Well done."
Charles looked at his hand and didn't shake it. Instead, he made his way over to the cyborg. "Hello, Nathan. It's been some time since we've seen you in the mansion."
"I'm not staying long." Cable crossed his arms, one metal arm over his still flesh one. "Just here on business."
"What business?" another voice asked from the hallway behind them.
Scott Summers was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed and looking at Cable suspiciously.
Cable could be heard growling under his breath and return his gaze full of annoyed hatred, "Nothing that concerns you."
Deadpool's jaw dropped and he pointed at Cable, "Holy shit- big bad time jumper has daddy issues!"
"WADE!" Domino hissed and elbowed him hard in the ribs.
It was a taboo topic to speak of the relationship between Cable and his father to be. Neither wanted each other nor trusted each other. There was a reason that Cable never fully joined the X-Men and it was standing right in front of him. He always limited his time in the mansion, only working with them on certain missions or occasions and he made sure to steer clear of Scott at all costs.
"Cable and Domino are here at my invitation," Charles said with finality.
"And me!" Deadpool cut in, "Right?"
Everyone looked at him without speaking. Charles moved his chair around and called over his shoulder, "Let's get you introduced to the rest of the team you will be working with."
They made their way down the labs, deeper than most students existed. Walking out of the elevator, he led them down a long hallway full of window's walls and hazard signs.
"This floor consists of our labs for production and testing of equipment, as well as our medical ward," Charles explained as they walked into one of the labs with many beakers and computers.
"Professor." A large blue furry man looked up and greeted.
"This is Beast, he is our lead engineer and works with me closely." Charles introduced.
He gave a small smile and nod of his head; his bottom teeth were sticking out from his mouth while closed. More so pronounced while he spoke. "Welcome. I'm here to help if you have any questions. Cable, you and I will be working closely together to test your biotics."
Cable sneered, "I ain't some lab rat for you to test on. I don't care if you're the resident Doc here."
Beast chuckled and shook his head, "I'm not the Doc, I'm the crazy scientist behind the scenes. Savior is who you're talking about. Please don't touch that!"
Deadpool was standing off to the side reaching for one of the beakers with bright green fluid in it. "Hey, I just wanted to see if your mutagen ooze is gonna work on these turtles I found in the sewer."
Before Cable could ask him what he was talking about Charles chuckled, "Yes, well that's where we're headed next."
He pointed his large furry thumb over his shoulder, "You'll want to head to medical then. We're testing temperature tolerances today."
They all followed Charles as a group and went through a large metal door that looked like it was meant to contain something big. Inside, there was a large glass square in the center of the room and two people were standing on either side. The woman had her hands reaching in through two holes like an incubator.
They couldn't see through the glass because it was frosted over and cloudy inside. A silhouette of a figure could be seen standing in the center, but nothing could be heard coming from inside.
Domino waved at her friend with a huge smile, "Hey Storm, long time no see!"
"Dom! Let me finish this and we can catch up!" Storm called out to her and nodded to Beast.
Charles stopped near the console that Beast had walked up to. Looking down at the panels he asked, "How are things going so far?"
Storm spoke first, "You're right on time, we're just about to start phase two."
Beast pulled up something on his screen and started tapping on his datapad with great speed for large claws. "Project Savior X temperature tolerance test one complete. No change in vitals or body temperature."
"Excellent. Move forward with testing." Charles said with a nod to Beast.
Storm spoke with concern, "Professor, shouldn't we let the chamber stabilize first?"
Beast looked at her over the rim of his glasses, "We need to test all conditions, including drastic changes to the concentrated atmosphere in the box."
Storm had pulled her hands out of the glass box and it shut tightly with a hissing sound, "Just call out the safe word, Savior. I'm right here."
"I bet the safe word is 'AHHH! IM ON FIRE!'" Deadpool threw his hands up in the air dramatically.
"It's teacup." Colossus said.
"So close," Deadpool said as he clenched his fist and shook it. "Shit! Need to change mine... again." He said seemingly to himself.
Storm and Negasonic cringed and made a disgusted look. Domino shook her head disapprovingly.
"You know you like it, baby." He said as he wiggled his brows. She ignored him.
Beast's hands worked quickly on the panels in front of him and he pushed a button for the intercom, "Project Savior X temperature tolerances test two commencing. Pyro, whenever you're ready."
There was a young man standing on the other side of the box. He slicked his long black hair out of his face and looked worried. He walked closer to the glass and reached his hands through the two openings.
"Here we go…" he said before taking a deep breath and taking a wider stance to plant his feet.
The glass box suddenly lit up brightly from the flames shooting out of his hands. What once was frost on the glass became condensation and quickly steam. Beast looked at the vitals before speaking into the intercom again, "Vitals steady, increase temperature."
There was a large digital counter reading the current temperatures inside the box. It was steadily rising, and Beast kept taking his notes. "Increase temperature."
This went on and on until the vitals on the screen went flat. Every monitor lit up with alerts and warnings of dangerous temperatures. Beast was about to hit the emergency stop button, but Charles put his hand on his arm to stop him.
"Increase temperature."
"Yo-you sure? Alright…" Pyro said cautiously and dug his feet in and squared his shoulders while clenching his teeth shut.
The alarms got louder, and the glass started to shake. Colossus started tensing and looking back forth from the inferno to the monitors. Domino was sitting on one of the workbenches with her legs swinging carefree.
"Increase temperature." Charles ordered.
Colossus slammed his hand on the intercom, "Little one, you okay?"
There was no response, so he spoke in again, "Can you hear me?"
Deadpool was the closest one to the glass box. Having wandered closer to try and see who or what was in there. Looking over his shoulder to the others he called out, "I think your oven is broken- there's nothing in there!"
Charles lifted a hand to Beast, "Keep going."
Colossus shook his head and punched the emergency button before hopping over the control panel and rushing to the still blazing box. Alarms and bright lights started flashing throughout the lab and the glass box quickly shut once Pyro took his still smoldering hands out of it.
"I didn't mean to! They told me to keep going!" he started panicking and pacing, thinking he had just committed murder.
Colossus' large metal form tried to pry open the large secured door, but it would not budge. Beast yelled at him while rushing forward, "You can't open it now! It has to stabilize before- "
Deadpool pulled out his gun and fired two quick rounds into the center of the glass, causing it to crack and spider out all directions. The built-up pressure from inside caused the glass wall to shatter, sending all three men flying with the explosion of flames escaping.
Storm rushed to Beast, helping extinguish the flames from his lab coat and fur. "What the hell do you think you were doing?! Are you trying to kill us all?!" Beast yelled at Deadpool when he got up.
Deadpool stood up with his body still smoking, glass shards were sticking out of his body. He reached up and pulled the largest one that was sticking out of his eye, "You wanted in- I got you in. Let's not get caught up in the process, just look at the results! Don't worry, my face blocked most of it from hitting my vital organs."
"Savior- you in there?! You okay?" Storm called out while putting her hands up to try and douse the flames with her powers.
"Am I okay? Is my hair okay? That's the important question." A smooth voice with a British accent replied from the still smoking box.
Storm rolled her eyes and sighed, "Sadly her sarcasm wasn't burned off."
Pyro yelled angrily, "DON'T DO THAT! I THOUGHT-" he started breathing heavily and panicking.
Beast pat him on the back and started to lead him back into his lab, "It's alright. Calm down. Remember the breathing techniques we talked about?"
A small woman in heels stepped out of the smoking box while throwing a piece of burnt cloth aside. She couldn't have been taller than 5'5 with her heels, coming up to Cable's shoulder height. Long brown hair was pinned up neatly on her head in an elegant bun, her large framed glasses making her green eyes seem even larger.
Cable watched her intensely, his gaze traveling from her full red lips to her tightly wrapped breast and hips. She wore nothing but the heels on her feet, a small tank top and even smaller shorts.
"Well, that's the third set of clothes I lost this week." She mumbled to herself when she looked down.
Storm handed her a white lab coat which she put on and buttoned up. "You could've responded when we asked and saved Pyro another panic attack."
Colossus had gotten up and rushed off the ash and debris from himself, quickly making his way to her, "Little One, are you okay?"
She waved a hand in dismissal, "I told Beast that the speakers and cams in the box wouldn't hold up to the temperatures. They melted as soon as he started, I couldn't hear anything in there."
The woman looked over to Charles, "Father, I didn't think you would be down here for testing today."
When she greeted Charles, Colossus realized who else was in the room and stayed his distance from her.
Charles rolled his chair around closer to the box, Cable, Deadpool and Domino followed. "I have some people to introduce you to."
She smiled at Domino and accepted the friendly hug, "Dom! What a surprise!"
The moment Domino's exposed wrist touched the exposed skin on Mina's back, her cell phone rang. It was a call she had been waiting for.
When she turned her green eyes to Cable, Charles spoke, "This is my daughter Mina, also known as, Savior. She is our resident doctor,"
Storm cut in, "Our only Doctor really… she IS the medical staff."
Charles continued, "More or less. I leave you three in her capable hands to get sorted out as her power is that of healing."
"I'll take it from here, father. We'll catch up later?" she asked.
"Most certainly, dear daughter," Charles replied with a wave and followed Beast and Pyro out of the lab.
With perfect composure and a tight mouth smile, she murmured through her teeth, "Is he gone?"
Once the doors closed, Storm nodded, "All clear."
Mina quickly threw off the lab coat, let down her hair and took off her glasses. Then she took off her heels and threw them across the room. She began shaking out her hair with her right hand. Suddenly she began speaking without her accent. Her voice reminded everyone of Brittany Murphy.
"Fuck me, I am glad to be on the other side of the mansion and with folks that are gonna take a while to heal. Now I can fucking be me and comfortable. Comfortable is in this shirt, these shorts and walking around barefoot."
Domino hung up her phone and quietly cursed before looking up with a grin, "Like mother, like daughter huh?"
"I prefer to be in a sports bra, but the old man loses his shit whenever I show a little cleavage. I'm supposed to be modest, like a 'good little British girl.'" Mina stuck out he tongue and gagged.
"Wait. What?" Negasonic replied and looked at Domino. "You're her mom?"
"Long story short, when she was created, it was one of my eggs they used. So that technically makes me her mother," Domino answered.
"The best a girl could ask for," Mina added with a wink.
"Shit," Negasonic replied and then looked at Mina confused again. "Hold up. You aren't British like the Professor? I thought he was your dad. You've had me going since I met you."
Mina rolled her eyes. "Yea. He won't get off my ass unless I use that damn accent. I hate talking with that fucking accent. So fucking annoying," Mina vented and placed her hand on Negasonic's wound. "I'm not who I am forced to be presented as. I'm as laid back as you, Ellie."
Everyone watched as the large wound on her forearm closed quickly. Leaving behind no scars, just the dried blood and caked on dirt.
"Well, god damn." Cable said under his breath as he watched her flex her hands and the light disappear.
"Thanks, Savior." She replied, looking down in awe at her closed wound. She hadn't noticed she called her Ellie, or she was ignoring it. "Still cool every time."
"Please just call me Mina when the old man isn't around. I don't want people asking me to turn water into wine." Mina rolled her eyes. "You'll get used to my powers unless we're drinking." She added with a laugh.
"Wait, can you?" Storm asked.
"Pfft. Not that I'm aware of. Or else I would've saved a shit load of money in college." She laughed.
Deadpool was bursting with excitement when he saw her heal Negasonic, "Butter my nipples, Batman! You can heal people?!"
"Yeah, that's why I'm the medic." Mina rolled her eyes before adding, "And the lab rat."
Deadpool ripped off his mask, pointed to it and begged, "Then heal me! Heal this Freddy Kreuger ball sack of a face!"
Mina put a hand up and the other on her hip, "I'm gonna need you to calm the fuck down and get up out my grill."
"But- "
"Does it say Bitch on my forehead?" Mina said with tone. "Hmmm? Do I have 'Bitch' written on my forehead?"
"What? Uh- no." Deadpool stammered.
"Then why are you treating me like one? I'm not a show pony and you ain't my Daddy. I don't take orders, especially from some whack ass Darth Vader with a facelift looking mother fucker like you." Mina got up in his face and pointed her finger up at it, making him back up and flinch.
Deadpool shivered and looked her up and down, "Is it weird that you scare me or that I'm turned on right now?"
Cable gave a gruff clearing of his throat that could have been passed as a chuckle, "She just prison checked you and you lost."
"And I liked it." He tilted his head and flashed his eyes down at his crotch.
Storm gave him a disgusted look, "Is the erection necessary? Come on, man. This is a school."
"I'm trying." He said with a small smile playing on his cracked lips.
"Language, Little One." Colossus stepped past Deadpool and Cable, reaching for Mina's waist.
Both men glared at him as they were shouldered in passing. Cable sneered when he saw Colossus touch Mina.
"Oh yeah? What are you gonna do about it, Big Guy?" She gave him a bright smile and jumped to wrap her arms around his metallic neck. He lifted her up easily by the waist and she brought her legs around his middle.
"I'll have to teach that dirty little mouth the rules." He said with a deep voice and thick Russian accent before kissing her.
She rolled her eyes before kissing him back, "Yeah, right."
Colossus buried his face in her neck, "I was worried you got hurt. Then I saw that temper of yours."
"My big X Men in shining armor injured or just happy to see me?" She giggled. Her left hand traveled down his shoulder and to his bicep, making him flex for her.
He hummed yes in response as he placed soft kisses along her jaw. The same pale white light that healed Negasonic pulsed beneath her hands. His metal body could be heard groaning before all the dents he'd acquired while on the last mission popped out.
Cable's hands clenched into tight fists. Watching the two interact so affectionately angered him but seeing them being damn near intimate made his blood boil. He clenched his teeth and tilted his head as he stretched his neck, causing it to crack loudly.
Colossus sighed and leaned his head back as his metal skin changed to flesh. Mina's fingers quickly found her way up and tangled in his hair. He looked at her with hooded eyes and whispered, "Move in with me."
She nodded and kissed him, humming her response. He let his hands travel down to cup her ass. "Take me home, Big Guy."
Colossus didn't need to be told twice. He adjusted his hold on her and threw her over his shoulder before quickly walking out of the lab, causing her to squeal and kick her legs.
As they watched them leave, Deadpool spoke first, "What. The. Fuck."
Domino's eyes were wide, and she shook her head, not believing her eyes, "When the fuck did that happen? I wasn't gone that long, was I?"
Storm shook her head and shrugged, "I'm just as surprised as you are. It's recent, I can tell you that much."
"Fucking metal sasquatch gets the hot one in this story?! What the fuck, guys?!" Deadpool looked up to an omniscient being, "What the fuck Grand-Son? The story only JUST began, and you guys already fucked me over! This one was supposed to be about me! Me!" He started shaking his fist at the empty space above him.
"Who the fuck you talking to now?" Cable asked with an annoyed tone.
"The writers that are gonna get me laid in this one, instead of a grenade stuffed pinata." He pointed up.
"They are not gonna last at all." Domino pursed her lips and shook her head disapprovingly, ignoring them.
Storm agreed with her, "It started out as harmless flirty. Then Professor put his foot down and all it did was throw her deeper in. Poor guy."
Domino looked at her phone one more time before following Storm and Deadpool out of the lab to continue their conversation, "There's no way he can keep up with her."
"Girl, I said the same thing." Storm said as the large metal doors slid shut behind them.
Cable was left alone in the lab, glaring at the door Mina had been carried through. He heard the doors open again behind him, already knowing who it was.
Once the others were gone, Charles came in and rolled his chair next to Cable. Now that they were alone, he looked up at the Cyborg and nodded. "I meant what I said earlier, Nathan. It really is great to see you again."
Cable scoffed and folded his arms. Not looking at him, he spat, "I meant what I said earlier. Don't get used to it old man. I won't be staying while the walking laser pointer is here. I came to get what was promised to me."
"I tried to dissuade her, Nathan. Really, I did. Her mind has some type of shielding. The healing factor is so strong it seems to put her receptors into overdrive. Thus, keep out any and all psychic mutants who try to penetrate her mind. Only one man I'm sure could do so, but that's only because-"
Cable cut him off with a firm warning, "Don't even say his name."
"All I'm saying is it wasn't intended," Charles said smoothly.
"Just tell me why Mina is with the trash can." Cable said through grit teeth and looking down at the other Mutant angrily.
Charles threw his hand up in annoyance, "She's being rebellious. She knows I didn't want her with him and did it to prove I can't control her."
"We had a deal." Cable balled his fist in front of Charles' face.
"Calm down. Something tells me that it won't last much longer."
"Good."
