So here is where I let you know that I don't own the X-Men I just like the characters. This takes place before the Professor dies and Cyclopes shuts down the X-Men. Please read and review. I would like feed back so I can iron this out and then continue with the story.

Part 1:

Doctor Benson walked down the narrow corridor towards C section. He hated to be anywhere near C section since Doctor Cornelius was murdered. He was on official business, he was to deliver instructions concerning the handling of Cornelius's other project.

Doctor Benson shivered at thought of Project: Judas.

He walked through the large metal doors and walked up to the guard at the desk.

"Here are the orders for this project." He handed the envelope to the guard.

Doctor Benson turned to look at the two cages in the large metal room. He had heard about this project from some of the other assistants of the late doctor.

This had been Cornelius's personal project. He was the only one who ever had access to this section of the compound, except for the guard and the one board member who came to review the project.

In the first cage there was what looked to be a young man. The figure's entire outfit was made of a tight black material and his face was covered by a black mask. The only color was the yellow stylized M on his chest.

The hairs on the back of the Doctor's neck stood up as the air seemed to be charged with some sort of energy. He could tell it was the young man's doing. Doctor Benson shifted his gaze to the second cage and took a step forward. He was unsure if it was for a better look or if it was just to get away from the boy.

The figure in the next cage was hunched over, like a cat ready to pounce. Doctor Benson took another step towards the cage and the figure sprung off the bench towards him. In mid air there was a sound of tearing flesh and four metal claws were inches from his face.

The figure hit the bars of its cage before being able to attack the doctor and was electrocuted. Benson then realized by the scream that his attacker was a girl. After the figure fell on the floor the room was filled with the smell of burnt flesh. He took a step away from the cage and heard the guard laugh.

"What's so funny?" Benson replied defensively. He assumed that the chuckle was at his expense.

"They're getting their money's worth" the guard replied.

Benson had no idea what the man was talking about. He was about to ask for clarification, but the guard beat him to the punch.

"They're gonna use these two to dispose of some bigwig."

The guard seemed to think that this was humorous. Doctor Benson felt a lump develop in his throat. His mouth became dry as terror ran through his body.


So that's the end of part 1. Let me know what you think. Please. Good, bad, anything. Just let me know.
