(Jinx owned by Jinxeh, Parker owned by me everyone else by marvel.)
The Alley, London, The
Subterranean city of the Morlocks, currently populated by thousand of
Mutants.
"I hate guard duty"
"Shut up Fracas"
"Hey! Watch it, I am
a made man"
"That's the ninth
time you said that and it still doesn't matter, she was defeated,
Masque is controlling half the Morlocks, Marrow a third and Venom is
gaining support. Callisto will be assassinated in no time and as
mentioned Venom will be in charge."
Erg scoffs and says
"Venom that punk, he
can't even dress himself what makes you think he can run a
society."
Fracas says
"He managed to take
command over those mutants who came here from the Sanctuary. The
tunnels are swelling and we need a strong leader and he…"
Erg cuts him off and says
"He got them addicted to heroine, thats hardly a strong leader"
A voice rings out
"HELP…"
A multi-colored girl
with rainbow hair and face stumbles forward bleeding from her chest.
She screams
"Help…"
Fracas shouts
"TOMMY!!!"
He runs up to her and
says
"Are you alright who
did…"?
BLAM
He doesn't get to
finish as a bullet makes a home in his chest. He stumbles back
BLAM
This one hits him in
the head he falls down. Tommy Screams and Erg lifts his left eye
patch but a harpoon flies through the air and hits him in the chest
frying him. Energy emerges from every opining and fire pours from his
eyes and mouth. He is dead before he even hits the ground.
Tommy huddles into a
little ball and a man replies
"Don't worry, we'll
keep out promise. Marauders…"
The are howls and
screams of delight and the Marauders pour into the alley. Four
seconds later screams echo along the tunnels. Tommy curdles into a
ball
GASP
Jinx darts up, she is
sweating and her chest is pounding like a jackhammer. She looks left
and then to the right. There is nothing there. She puts her hands to
her forehead and sits up. It hand been along time since that memory.
"Why now?"
She through the covers
off and climbs out of bed. She looks at the clock and it reads
"5:38am"
The room is dark only
illuminated by the lights of the city and the led display on the
clock. Famous Last Words is playing over the radio but she isn't
listening. Since she got here she has been on edge. She had expected
something on the new or in the paper. She pulls out a cigarette and
walks out on to the balcony. The wind rushes through her pink hair,
she lights the cigarette and looks down. The streets are light up and
look like moving Christmas lights. The noise is deafening and the
scent in nigh unbearable but somehow she has adjusted. She likes it
here the avengers have been nice to here. She's made friends with a
girl named Parker and the avenger known as "Wolverine." Whom she
had to admit took her breath away. As her minds drifts off, she takes
a puff of cigarette and She looks at the sky it had been seven year
since that day. She tosses the cigarette off the balcony. She walks
inside and puts on some sweatpants and leaves her room. Stark Tower
was a fascinating place; a High rise building that was a shinning
example of Modern Architecture. She could see the entire city from
the roof. The last week has seemed like a blur to her. Unfortunately
before she could find out more the Avengers were called away so she
is here for the week.
"DIE…DIE…DIE"
Utterly perplexed by
this Jinx flowers the sounds to the main room. She says
"Parker, What are you
doing"
Parker responds
"Halo 3 Legendary…"
Jinx says
"It's 5:30 in the
morning…"
Parker laughs and says
"It's early"
Jinx looks down and
sees the many coffee cups surrounding her feet and says
"How many have you
had"?
Parker pauses the game
couldn't on her left hand
"One…Two…Three."
She holds up the middle
finger
"This many"
She looks at Jinx's
face and says
"You ok their Pinkie"
Jinx gives her a look
and Parker responds
"What's wrong"?
She nocks three coffee
cups off the couch and pats the seat next to her"
Jinx complies and says
"Rough night, had a
very bad dream which brought up very bad memories"
Parker says
"Well…what
happened?
Jinx says
"It's kind of
personal"
Parker sarcastically
says
"I realize my fast
personal life and long stream of friends makes me untrustworthy but
you have my word I wont speak"
Realizing her reacting
she says
"Come on you can tell
me, I promise I won't tell anyone else"
Jinx sighs realizing
she will never give up, says
"Long ago before I
moved it with that bastard, I lived in London, with my sister in a
place called the Alley. It as the second largest Morlock community in
the world. Normally life was simple but we were in the middle of a
civil war. On one side Callesto trying to maintain control and on the
other a powerful mutant named Venom. The war raged through out the
underground. They even closed a tube due to damages. One night a
group of mutants known as the marauders entered the tunnels and
butchered everyone. I just barley escaped."
Taken back Parker says
"What happened to
her"?
Jinx puts her head in
her hands, this conversation had sent up a myriad of involuntary
memories and had her almost on the verge of crying says
"I don't know…"
Parker puts her arm
around Jinx and says
"I know what you
mean, I have a brother "
Jinx cuts her off and
says
"You don't
understand, She's my twin though and we got separated. I should
have gone back but I was so scared."
Parker says
"I'm sure she made
it…"
Jinx says
"You can't know
that…"
Parker semi laughs and
says
"She is your twin
right…and you made it"
That made no sense but
Jinx appreciates the sentiment. Before she can respond
Ring…Ring…Ring
Parker sighs and says
"Just ignore it"
Ring…Ring…Ring
Parker shaker her head
and Jinx hits her shoulder and points to the phone. Parker replies
"Hang on"
Jinx nods and Parker
stands up and straightens her skirt and walks over to the phone and
says
"Stark Tower"
The voice is choppy and
she can hear every third world
"Need…Attacking…are…left…help…News…Jasmine"
Parker shakes her head
and says
"There is no Jamie
here, and I can barley hear you"
Jinx lifts her head and
says
"Who is it?"
Parker says
"I dunno…some chick
named Jamie. Sounds bad though"
Jinx intrigued says
"Prank caller hang
up"
Parker speaks over the
phone and says
"Who is this please
and where are you calling from."
Silence, Parker says
"It's died"
She hangs it up and
says
"That was the
weirdest thing that has happened tonight."
She picks up the phone
and presses 69
"That's got to be a
fake"
Jinx says
"What is"?
Parker turns to the
computer in the wall next and pulls up a screen and punches a few
buttons and says
"It came
from…underground. I didn't know they even worked down there"
Jinx says
"What's down there,
I mean underground…"
Tunnels
"Naughty…Naughty"
She looks back and a hand flies through the air. He punches her and
grabs her by the neck and holds her under the water
"…You know the
rules…YOU KNOW THEM."
She coughs the sewage
seeping in her throat. Burning her badly her hands begin to spasm. He
pupils darts rapidly and almost foaming at the mouth. His grip
tightens on her throat. He laughs and says
"What is the law!
Jennifer"
She gargles and he says
"WHAT IS IT"
He lifts her up and she
weakly says
"You…a…are"
He vigoursly shakes her
and says
"WHAT"
She has to Crain her
neck to not pass out. She had double vision and is seeing stars. She
lifts her left hand and points to him and he says
"Good girl"
He throws her against
the wall. She hits and slides down bleeding out her mouth and barley
aware of what is going on.
He says
"If you just learned
the rules this wouldn't happen"
He stomps on the phone.
He looks at her and laughs and says
"I'm going to have
to teach you who is in charge again aren't I"
Her eyes widen
