Hi guys! This is my first ever crossover fanfic, so please be kind to me. I hope this turns out OK. Please do review and tell me what you think so I can make improvements if possible. All constructive criticism is most welcome. Thank you!
The sense of danger and death swept over Professor Charles Xavier like a tidal wave. The telepathic mutant groaned slightly and promptly grabbed the TV controller. At the flick of his finger, the TV was switched on to the news channel, where a reporter was anxiously talking at top speed.
"Never before has such an attack been seen!" reporter John Brown cried, casting a glance over his shoulder. "As you can see, this – this…monster is terrorizing Whitlock Street! Check this out!"
The camera was zoomed in on the background to reveal a sight that made the usually placid professor gasp aloud. He could boast of seeing exceedingly odd-looking mutants at times, but never before had he laid eyes on such a creature. This was no mutant, he realized. It was nothing less than a monster. Flesh did not exist on the creature's body; what existed there were blobs of deep maroon, slime-like substance. More people than Xavier could count were squealing and screaming and trying in vain to escape the monster's barrage of slime balls. Xavier's eyes widened to the size of saucers, then they narrowed again as he shut his eyelids and sent out a telepathic call.
X-Men, we have an emergency at Whitlock Street. Scott, Jean, Rogue, Logan and Kitty, I need you to head there right now. Beware of your opponent. It's like no creature I've ever seen before.
Right, Professor. We'll be on our way, came Jean's mental reply.
Xavier sighed and turned his attention to the TV screen once more, frowning as he observed the creature's movements and attacks. Maroon slime balls were being projected like missiles, perfectly pasting all the passer-by's down onto the road and kerb. Dumfounded and flabbergasted police officers could only watch as their normally lethal bullets smacked dully into the hideous goo without their usual impact. Several SWAT members were already on the scene, firing at the monster with such force and noise that Xavier wondered if anyone there still had their eardrums intact. But from whatever might be observed, it would take far more than just SWAT members and police officers to take down such a monster. It would take quite a miracle.
How could I have not detected his presence earlier? Xavier thought. Such a dangerous thing should have activated my telepathy a long time ago! What's going on with it? Forehead creased from his deep frowns, Xavier tried to send out all his psychic energy towards the scene.
What's this? In seconds, he felt something else that had yet to make an appearance on the screen. The person's presence was almost tangible, even at such a distance. Shocking amounts of strength and power emanated from the unseen person, making Xavier's heart beat nearly twice as fast. There could be no doubt about it.
Another super-powered being was there.
