CHAPTER 1: NEW ARRIVALS
Well here he was Vincent Freeman, mutant and co-leader of Safe House number seven in Ontario, caring up the last of the supplies to the once spare room of the house to make it into a new room for the twins.
It was a strange few days for him. First he nearly had a heart attack when C (everyone just called the little four year old that) had gone off without telling anyone. When she came back with her 'mommy' and 'daddy', Marianne and Michael, well things just got weird after that.
At first he was a bit suspicious, well a good sense of paranoia helps you stay alive in today's world and he did have the kids to think of. They didn't catch on to the small signal, a scratch to his left eyebrow with his index finger he gave to Rick, one of the kids there.
He led them to a living area and if they tried anything he was prepared to take them out, also if they stopped him somehow, Mary his long time friend, was there with a can of knockout gas behind one of the doors. Where she got that he had no idea, she always seemed to find or acquire things they needed. He didn't know how, but he knew enough not to ask.
But it turned out it wasn't needed. Benny had ran a search on them, and when he had come in at one point with the drinks he had given him a slight nod to let it know they were okay. Not only were those two that had stayed behind and fixed that major problem that the precogs had warned about, but they also told him they had actually met before.
Well an alternate version of himself that apparently was with Xavier and his X-Men. At first he didn't believe it, but she knew a few things that no one else could know about him unless they had met or something.
They also told him about a pair of twins, named oddly enough Jack and Jill, that the other him had helped, and she told him they had a hard time adjusting so they were coming here. It was kind of strange thinking back on it when they first arrived.
FLASH BACK
The twins were led up to the house. It was a nice two story building, with blue paint and a black tiled roof. They were both a little unsettled looking around nervously. It wasn't long ago their parents were killed and they had been taken away to a lab. Luckily they were saved, but the whole ordeal was a lot, especially since they were only eight years old.
When Marianne had opened the door however they were both shocked and surprised by who they saw. "Vincent!" The girl with gray hair squealed and ran right up to him hugging him. It wasn't until that point that he truly believed what Marianne had told him.
The boy, who had gray skin was still a little withdrawn slowly made his way to him. "You look older." He simply stated.
"Remember what I told you earlier?" Marianne asked the boy.
"That this is an older version of the one we met, who was from another world?" Jack said to her. "I'm still not sure exactly what that means."
"Join the club." Vincent said who was still in place from the girl hugging him. "Uh...Jill, could you let me go for now?" The girl looked up slightly embarrassed and moved aside. It wasn't long after that that Marianne and Michael had said their goodbyes.
PRESENT
Now he was leading the way for the twins up to their new room. They had no more spare room so Vince decided to start to convert the spare bedroom for them. Although there was only one bed, with the new funds he was sure Mary could easily get a new set for the kids.
Meanwhile Mary already had her hands full. She was holding C trying to comfort the small purple haired child in the living room. Five minutes after Michael and Marianne had left she had started crying. Mary knew how much those two meant to the child and how much she meant to them, but that still didn't make the pain of C's missing them lighten.
"Shhh, don't worry, you'll see them again." She softly said to her. C was curled up on her lap crying softly, she sniffled a few times and Mary had some tissues for her.
"I know." She said weakly. "But I miss them." Mary sighed, it wasn't going to be an easy few days that was for sure. She hated to see he like this or anyone else for that matter. Looking back on her life from the orphanage that she, Vincent and Benny had come from she never would have guessed that at twenty-two she would be taking care of several children.
But when Vincent had told her that he was a mutant, and after the story she had heard from him, which he later told Benny, she wanted to do something. Then one day the Underground had heard about some of the work they were doing and all three of them joined up.
Their adopted parents were concerned, and well her parents rarely spoken to her since. It was hard on her, she loved them but if they couldn't understand her choice in life then tough on them, Benny's were a little more open minded. Sometimes she was envious that Vincent had never been adopted, he didn't have to go through stuff like that, but she also knew how lonely he felt at times too.
Luckily Benny and Rick their fifteen year old resident was keeping an eye on the two other children Lisa a twelve year old girl with almost white hair and gray eyes, but with a frown always on her face.
Then there was her younger sister Kate who was nine and was the complete opposite of Lisa, who was always smiling. Which was surprising since they lost their parents three years ago, but then Lisa doesn't remember much.
'I can't wait until Liz gets back.' Mary thought. She didn't know how she and Vincent kept this place running so well. Liz, whose full name was Elizabeth but only those with a death wish would call her that, was the other one in charge, she was a couple of years older then her and Vincent but she was nice, a bit of a neat freak, but nice. But she had gone on vacation and wouldn't be back until two more days at least.
Meanwhile all the 'mom' duties had fell onto her. 'I wonder how Vince is doing with the twins?' she thought.
Vince was backing away the few things they had away with them. "So there are a few ground rules you two." He said to them after they had finished. "First don't tell anyone were you live, never talk to strangers, do leave the house unless on of the adults or Rick is with you, and tell the others where your going. Also you go to bed at ten no later, no exceptions okay?"
"Doesn't matter I can't go outside looking like this." Jack muttered to himself.
"Actually the backyard has a twelve foot shrubbery around it and high fences." Vincent began. "Also I talked to the Underground and they're getting a holo-watch ready for you, it should be here in a few days."
"You mean he'll be able to go outside and walk around without people staring?" Jill asked hopefully. Vincent smiled and nodded at the girl's enthusiasm, she jumped up with glee at it. "Jack isn't that great? You'll be able to go around!"
Jack for his part was mainly neutral, except for a small smile slowly creeping up into his face. Vincent left them to their room and decided to gather everyone together to meet everyone. He walked down the stairs and saw C on Mary's lap.
Her eyes were red and she was sniffling. "What's wrong?" He asked concerned.
Mary looked over her shoulder at him. "C just missed her 'parents' is all."
Vincent looked sadly down at the child clutching Mary's shirt slightly. He hand a hand down her hair, well as much as he could since she was braiding it in the back like Liz.
"It will be alright don't worry." He said softly to her. She nodded her head but didn't say anything. She shared a look with Mary and she nodded, she would stay with her for awhile longer.
He straighten up. "Well I'll get lunch ready." He said he was about to enter the kitchen when she heard C shout out.
"P&J sandwich please!"
Vincent smiled and nearly laughed out loud at that. He shook his head then answered her. "Alright then!" He shouted back and went in to start up lunch. With his super speed it was quite easy he just hoped that the twins liked it.
He didn't know what they liked but he hoped this would do it. He decided to walked up the stairs and get them, but before that he headed to the backyard. He saw Benny, Rick and the two other girls outside.
"Hey guys lunch is ready." He said over to them. "Oh and don't take off, I want everyone in the kitchen to meet the twins alright?"
"Sure thing big brother." Rick said. Vincent smiled and nodded then went back in. He always liked it when the kids called him that, it reminded him of his time at the orphanage that for a time he was the unofficial big brother for all the younger kids there.
Even tough he wasn't related to them by blood, he liked kids and for some reason he could get through to them, and they trusted him. He was also protective of kids too, after his own dark past where no one was there to help him, he made it his mission to help those that couldn't help himself.
He didn't wish for any kid to go through what he had gone through. But he knew there were those that did, it enraged him that stuff like that happened to mutants, and he would make sure that nothing happened to any of them under his protection.
That was the other reason he was here. He wasn't just the 'father' or 'big brother' figure, or because he could take care of kids. Those were valid points but another reason was security.
Vincent was unusual then most mutants, he was more powerful then most, and had more abilities then others and they were all powerful too. With his martial arts training, he was a force to be reckoned with. It was the reason only Liz was the only other mutant in the group.
Because the Underground was aware of his abilities and knew he was more then enough to deal with trouble. And if anyone dared to harm those under his protection they would find out first hand why he was called Mayhem.
