X-Men: New Bloods. Chapter 1.
Author's Notes:
This story takes place in 2010, New York and other various places. The Professor is alive (never went in to the 20 year coma) Jean Gray is dead, and Scott is no longer a part of the X-men. Wolverine is the head of the X-Men now. Kurt, Remy, Rouge, Kitty Pryde, Storm, Coleuses are a part of the X-Men team, along with two new editions: Karra Howlett and Ace LaBeau.
The story line was not only done by myself, but with help fo Corey Clark. He is the co-writer !
BAMF ! Kurt appeared at Karra's side and grabbed her by the waist, bamf, they were backing the jet. "No !" she cried out and went back to the door. A hand caught her by the wrist and pulled her back, the force used and hard, and one of her fingers popped out of place. She cried out and fell to the floor. "What the hell ?" She yelled out to Logan, he had been the one to restrain his daughter back from going back out in to the field. They were in the mists of a fight between the X-men and the MRDs. The MRD wanted a mutant child named Linabell, she had just learned about her powers and thus they wanted her, to use her and experiment on her. The thought of harming a child enraged Karra, her claws slid out and she ran back out. She was not going to let them take her. No way.
"Karra come back !" Logan called out and ran after her, his own claws extended.
Bullets were flaying all around her, but she dogged them with ease and the grace of a dancer. To a bystander it would look like she was dancing as she ran. "Linabell !" She called out, her voice almost not audible over the roar of the machinery going around her. Boom ! An explosion went off and Karra was knocked off her feet. A shard came in to her arm, she screamed as the pain seeped into her body. She knew that she would heal, but not instantly or as quick as Wolverine would. Her healing factor was slower, but two times as fast as a normal humans. "Karra !" A voice called out and a gloved hand took her by the hand and pulled her up. She looked up and it was Ace.
"No ! Save her !" Karra said and jumped out of his arms and went in the direction that the child had last been seen, but she was gone, and the MRDs were retreating.
"Come on we have to go!" Ace grabbed her by the hand again and began to drag her off to the jet. "Go !" He called out and the jet began to take off. In one quick and easy jump Ace lifted off the ground with Karra in his arms and both their bodies came in contact with the floor of the hanger door. Ace rolled over on his back and coughed up blood, his eyes closed. Karra left a warm sensation on her hands and looked down to see blood. She gasped and her claws retracted in to her hand. "Ace !" She cried out and knelt to his side.
Logan knelt down at the boy's side and held his hand out. "Use your powers. Get my healing factor." Ace's hand reached out and he removed his gloves and closed his eyes. Slowly his blood stopped flowing out, and then he sat up and let go of Logan's hand. "You ok, kid ?" he asked and stood up. He was not one for a lot of words, but Logan did care about the safety and well being of the 'kids' as he would call them.
Ace sat up and nodded. "Yeah, thank ya'." He said and looked over at Karra he reached out to touch her hand. "It's ok. I ain't been no better." He told her softly.
Karra hated herself in many ways, as she hated in world in others. For one she hated her claws and how many people she had hurt with them. They were deadly and she had killed before with them. Unlike her father, she did not enjoy the violence. Yes she had a temper and was hard core bad-ass at times, but she hated bloody fights that could get someone seriously hurt, if not killed. And she had just hurt her best friend. If Logan would not have been there, he could have died. She had priced right above his heart. A fatal wound.
She shook her head and go up and walked away, she was in no mood for pity words or sympathy. She knew who and what she was, a assassin. Born and raised to be one, and nothing had ever proved her wrong so far in her life. Both her parents were assassin and the world wanted her dead for what she was, a mutant. So fighting was the only way to survive in this world, and even killing as a last resort. Karra sat down in a seat and yellow eyes fallowed her movement, bamf Kurt was by her side. "Karra," he spoke softly. "You ok ?" His thick German accent making it difficult to understand for one who did not know him or was not used to his manner of speaking.
"Yeah," she muttered and nodded. "I am fine." She was to say no more on the matter.
"Come on, amour," Ace said and took a seat in front of Karra. "It's alright. No harm done. We are all alive. No worries right, sugar ?" He smiled at his best friend hoping to cheer her up, placing his hand on her knee. Kurt hissed when he did so. The two never had gotten along. Kurt was the jealous type and with Ace always around Karra and being flirtatious as he was, Kurt hated him. Ace smirked and laughed at Kurt, but kept his gaze on Karra.
"Stop it both of you !" She cried out and slapped his hand away.
"Ouch," he muttered and rubbed his hand. "Cajun boy is already injured as it is…"
"We did not save her and now they have Linabell, so stop fooling around. We have to go and save her." One of the things the pissed Karra off the most in life was when the people around her were goofing off while there was a task at hand. Epically one as important as saving a little girl's life.
Wolverine stood up and pushed Karra back down in to the seat. "No, you stop it Karra. You're pissed and need to calm down. She was taken and we can't save her with you mad. So calm the hell down !" His voice was loud and booming filling up the area. Logan feared of passing down the berserker gene, he had an horrid temper and did not want his daughter to have it as bad as him, or her 'sister' Laura (X-23).
She glared at her father and looked away. She knew what he had said was right, but she was a stubborn person and was not going to admit that to anyone, not even herself.
The jet arrived at the mansion around midnight and as soon as the jet touched ground Karra was off and went to the training room. She was pissed and needed to blow off steam. And what better way than to go and train ? Beating the crap out of robots sounded like a good idea to her at the moment.
Ace saw Karra take off and went to follow his friend. "Amour, you ok ?" He called out. The hallways were empty, for the most part all in the mansion were asleep. Karra turned sharply on her heels and did not answer him. Still not in he mood. "Ok, I was only trying to help,:" he muttered.
"I heard that, Cajun !" She called out. Karra had acute scenes and her hearing was the best of the all. Her vision was good, but not as strong as either her mother (Elektra) or her father's. But still her eyes sight was better than most humans and mutants. "Damn French-Cajun- whatever the hell the kid is," she muttered to herself.
She enter in to the danger room and set it up on the Advanced Level 10 and put it to be set for the woods. It would have been a challenge for most in that situation but it was one that Logan made Karra do countless times in the past and now she actually liked training and how the woods felt. The room was dark and cold, the temperature shifted and grass grew under her feet. A smile spread across her lips. She took a deep breath and smelled the woods. In one swift movement she took her shoes off and then took off running. A beam of light came at her left, a human-sized sentinel was hot on her heals. She turned and extended her claws, ran back and slashed at it head.
Over the year the MRDs and government had advanced in their technology with the sentinels and now they were not only giant, but human size. A fairy large and bulky human, but human size never the less.
Boom, she had cut its head off and it fell to the ground.
Karra's mind was buzzing and her body was alert to everything around her. She turned her head sharply to the right, something was there. Bamf, Kurt tackled her to the ground, then he was gone in an other puff of smoke. She coughed and then got up quickly. She laughed in a maniacal way, and let her hair down form the ponytail that she had, had it in. Her long black hair reached down to about mid back and was straight, but it curled at the ends. "Oh, little Elf boy, your so in for it !" She ran after him as he jumped from tree to tree and he himself laughed.
He had been fallowing her from the moment that she had left the ship, he hated seeing her in such a stressed and angry mood. And Kurt knew that if Karra was going to blow off steam she would go and train. Even if she did not want to fight and kill, he knew that she would at least train that way she was ready just in case, or just to make sure she was still the best there was. For in reality she was, not one of the mutants could defeat her in a no-powers match. And very few could in a power's match. The girl was trained in every form of martial arts, and knew how to work any form of blade, and knew how to use of guns. She was an unstable machine, and with her healing factor and acute scenes she was almost immortal as her father was.
"Ouf !" Kurt fell to the ground. Karra had been chasing him for a while, while they both fraught off some sentinels, and while he had not been paying attention and had his back turned to her while deactivating one of the robots she had gotten on to his back and pulled him to the ground. She pinned him back and laughed.
A puff of blue smoke consumed them both then Kurt hand her pinned down. His tail lashed out at his side, the began to trace down along side of her legs. "Nein," he told her with a smirk. His yellow eyes flashing with a look of amusement and playfulness. Karra pretended to struggle under his grasped. He laughed again and his tail came up to touch her face. "Sie sind schön, you are beautiful." He told her, and leaned down to kiss her.
Their lips met once, a soft peck of a kiss, then Karra leaned her head forward so that their lips met again, with more passion this time. His tail went and traced down along side her leg once again. He pulled away and smiled at her, his heart racing, as was hers. The simulation around them began to fade away, and from grass and dirt the ground under them turned to cold steel. Kurt looked around for a moment, then in instant Karra's arms were around his neck and she pulled the blue boy down on her and they kissed again. The passion peaking.
"Oh I see your hand is reveled, mon amie." A voice come in over the intercom of the room, and Kurt bamfed away and clung to the walls. Karra sat up and blew some her hair out of her face. She looked up at the window and glared at Ace. He only laughed and shook his head. "Ace wonders what would happen if ol' Wolfy boy was to see what was going on with mon amie et the elf." Ace had always referred to Logan as Wolfy to piss him off, Karra as mon amie or mon amour, and as all others knew Kurt was the elf.
"Oh shut the hell up, Cajun !" Karra call out and stood up, she brushed her self off and passed her hand thought her hair, looking at her hands, the claws were gone for the moment. They had known each other since they were small children and they were like brother and sister, best friends, inspirable form the start. But still they argued and got in each other faces teasing and messing around.
"Told Logan what ?" The voice startled them all and Karra gave a small jump, Ace looked away and Kurt's body tensed up. To one point of another everyone was afraid of Wolverine. He had big, bad, tough, had claws, and was almost immortal Who wound not be afraid of him to a degree or another ?
"Nothing," Ace said. "Ace was going to tell Wolfy nothing." He got up and laughed then went to walk out.
Logan held his hand out to stop Ace. "Not so fast LaBeau." He pressed the button for the intercom, "you," he looked at Kurt, "Elf and kid come in here we got a mission." Kurt bamfed over to Karra them they were in the watch room above the simulation room. Logan turned to Karra then looked at the boys. "You three are going on a solo mission to go save that Linabell girl."
