Darius and crew were in action on the deck of a S.H.I.E.L.D. Hellicarrier. They were supposed to be training with Widow, Hawkeye, Thor and Captain America but were having a serious problem with cooperation. The goal was basically a capture the flag, the flag in this case being Tony Stark who was literally just sitting behind his team mates drinking bourbon.
Darius was getting frustrated watching what was happening around him. They were all doing their own thing and nothing was getting accomplished.
"Guys fall back!" He called motion for them to join behind a large box. They all reluctantly followed.
"What are you doing?" Envy asked him in a very scolding tone.
"Trying to formulate a plan…" Darius told her venomously, "You are using people on the team but not focus, Colton literally has nothing to work with but his feet so he's getting his ass kicked, Korey managed to get into an archers pissing contest with Hawkeye which isn't helping anyone… Paige you need to focus on one target or none and Lorna I don't want to hurt your feelings but you're holding back…" He added making them all nod. Envy groaned and looked away for a minute.
"What do we do?" She finally asked him in response, as much as she didn't want to admit it she knew he had a point.
"Can you get a hand on Thor if we clear the room…" He asked the green girl who shook her head roughly.
"I'd have to have a clear shot at his face, everything else is covered and the only way his hands are an option is we got him to throw that hammer…" Envy told them all before Lorna cautiously tapped her arm. Envy quirked an eyebrow at her in response.
"I can try to immobilize him… if I wrapped him in a pipe or something he couldn't stop you!" Lorna told her softly seeing Envy shake her head.
"I need to be able to control him though and on someone that strong I wouldn't be able to keep my hold long enough for you to free him!" The green girl pointed out making Lorna nod.
"Wait I got it, just follow my lead…" Lorna told her getting a nod in reply.
"Ok Paige go to my backpack real quick… left side pocket!" Darius commanded. Paige saluted him disappearing in a cloud of smoke momentarily then reappearing tossing a bottle of water into Colton's hands. He gave Darius a thumbs up and took the lid off the bottle.
"Alright if you two can knock Cap far enough out of the way with that hammer then I need someone to distract the other two and that'll give us an opportunity to slip between them and get to Stark." Darius told them all before they rushed out to put their plan into action.
Lorna and Envy made eye contact before Lorna quickly got hold of a metal pipe sending it wrapping around Thor's arm in which his hammer was located. Envy went to make contact but just before she got close enough she spotted Cap's shield come flying at her. She tried to jump out of the way but when it made impact it just sent her flying toward the edge of the Hellicarrier and right over the side, free falling toward the ocean.
"Oh fuck!" Darius called as he saw Envy go tumbling over the edge, "Paige!" He cried pointing over where his former girlfriend had fallen. Paige jumped high and disappeared.
When she reappeared she grabbed Envy by her shirt collar and barely managed to get them back to the deck in time. When they arrived up top everything had halted and all were looking at them.
"What the fuck was that!" Envy cried looking from Darius to Lorna, "I would've died if we didn't have a teleporter here!" She added glaring at Lorna menacingly.
"Are you-" Lorna started before she was abruptly silenced.
"No I'm not ok!" She yelled at the very concerned looking Polaris, "This was your fault!" She added making the others eyes go wide. Darius scowled heavily and looked over at the three squabbling women.
"Envy you know that Lorna had nothing to do with what just happened!" Darius called to her glaring back, "What is your problem today anyway!" He added before they all heard a yell from behind them even making the Avengers turn. Director Fury, Agent Coulson and Agent Hill were all behind them looking extremely cross.
"The six of you are to follow Agent Hill now!" Fury told them loudly.
"Director Fury we can-" Darius started before Agent Coulson held up his hand.
"That's an order Agent Creed!" Coulson told not even letting the younger man finish his sentence.
The young mutants had been sitting in Hulk's holding cell for almost an hour when Agent Coulson came to open the door and let them out. Envy and Lorna were the last two to leave before Darius. Envy shoved Lorna as she walked past and out the door. Lorna wrapped her arms around her stomach defensively and looked down before stepping toward the door. When they had all exited the cell Darius laid a hand on Lorna's shoulder and gave her a sympathetic look.
The group of teens were all standing in front of Fury as well as Captain, Agent Coulson and Agent Hill. Fury was giving them all a very serious look that made a few of them shiver nervously.
"It has become clear to us that you all are not going to be able to cooperate and act like a cohesive unit unless we are to take drastic measures…" Fury told them all seeing Darius' eyes narrow.
"What drastic measure would those be?" Darius asked him rolling his eyes when his superior smirked.
"Fuckin' piece of shit bullshit MOTHERFUCKER!" Darius growled shouting the last word as he was tossing things into boxes.
"Um Dari… are you ok?" A voice asked from behind him. He turned to see Blake, Kurt and Logan standing in his doorway. He gave her a glare before turning back and slamming a few books into a box. He sighed heavily when he heard the sound of someone teleporting and turned to his side where he saw the other teen reappear.
Kurt gave him a sympathetic look before Darius pulled him close. The blue teleporter when rigid for a moment before relaxing into the others embrace.
"So why do you have to move your shit today?" Logan asked walking over to the fridge and looking for a beer. Darius sighed again before pulling away from his boyfriend and answering.
"Because the stupid fucker is making me move in with my teammates so that we will learn to function better as a team!" He said in a mocking tone making the elder look up at him.
"Who is the…" Kurt began to ask before Darius held up a finger.
"I don't wanna go there right now!" He told the other boy calmly receiving a nod before Darius shook his head, "I'm sorry babe…" He added pecking Kurt on the cheek and stepping into his bedroom for a moment.
"How long do you have to be completely moved in?" Blake asked him as he stepped back out holding a couple of empty boxes that need to be put together still.
"Noon tomorrow!" Darius told her smirking bitterly as he was about to hand her the tape he turned to see the empty roll laying on the island, "God Damn it…" He growled before pulling out his phone and sending someone a message.
"You don't have to work tomorrow right?" His sister questioned him looking up in surprise.
"Thank god no!" He told her as they heard a knock at the door. Darius walked over and opened the door inviting the knocker into the apartment.
"Oh hey Kurt!" Korey spoke to the teleport his smiled and nodded.
"You two know each other?" Darius asked them before shaking his head and motioning to the beer in Logan's hand. Korey shook his head before his teammate stepped over to the fridge and pulled two bottles out, he handed one to the older S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent.
"Yeah I graduated from the Xavier Institute when Kurt and Ruby were in eighth grade!" Korey replied handing Darius a roll of tape, "Hey so since almost all of my stuff is packed do you want some help down here… Paige is gonna be moving stuff back and forth from both our places to the new one so now I'm kind of just waiting on her to show up!" He asked walking over to set his beverage on the island countertop.
"Um sure if you want!" Darius answered before throwing the tape to his sister, "Oh yeah this is my sister Blake…" He told Korey who introduced himself to the girl. Kurt and Darius were in the bedroom throwing clothes into boxes and the others were focusing on everything in the kitchen and living room when they heard Korey's phone begin to ring.
Darius peaked his head out the bedroom door about the same time as the phone started to ring. Korey looked at the caller ID before announcing that it was Paige and putting the phone on speaker.
"Hey Paige!" Korey called before going back to stacking dishes into a box carefully.
"It's Colton actually but if you must call me Paige then I won't argue!" They heard a light but male voice tell them. Darius snorted from the other room when he heard the voice on the phone.
"Sorry dude… are you and Paige on your way?" Korey asked him as he began sealing the box he had been loading and writing the words 'These are Dishes so please be Fuckin' gentle' on the top of the box.
"Yeah I think were outside your building… 14245 right?" Colton replied in question.
"Yeah that's it… I live in 4A but in down in 2A!" Korey told him very carefully moving the box over to the coffee table.
"Why are you in 2A if you live in 4A?" They heard a girls voice call from the other line.
"I live in 2A…" Darius spoke as he walked past the phone with two boxes in his hands. He sat them by the door before walking back to the bedroom.
"Kay we'll be there in a second!" Colton told them before hanging up the call. After a few seconds two new faces joined the group. Darius and Kurt came walking out of the bedroom and greeted the two newcomers.
"So how are we doin' this?" Darius asked offering the two a beer. Colton frowned and shook his head but the wild eyed blonde nodded and took a bottle that was offered to her.
"We were just gone port stuff over… Envy and Lorna are waiting for us there already!" Paige told him taking a swig of her drink and belching rather loudly.
"Weak!" Korey called from the floor making Paige laughed loudly in response.
"Oh trust me, I'm just getting started!" She told him making him chuckle.
"If I find out Envy touched, held, looked at or even breathed near my shit there is gonna be a problem!" Darius told them both motioning from his eyes to the two of them.
"Rightoh Sarge!" Paige told him saluting making Kurt and Logan give Darius confused looks. Paige walked over looking through the boxes before picking up two that had clothes in them and vanishing into thin air. Blake looked at the spot she had been standing in slight surprise.
"Um… what?" She asked pointing to where the blonde had been standing.
"Have you never seen someone teleport?" Colton asked her with a raised eyebrow.
"No… No I have, I've just never…" Blake began but trailed off and Colton nodded.
"Seen a teleporter that looked normal!" Colton said not noticing the look of hurt and embarrassment that crossed Kurt's face. Darius however saw the instant embarrassment in Kurt and narrowed his eyes.
"Normal?" Darius asked puffing his chest slightly. Logan had just been watching the whole conversation smoking a cigar and chuckled when he noticed the defensive way his 'Step-Son' was acting.
"Yeah…" Colton stated again raising an eyebrow.
"Maybe we should choose are words a little more carefully Colton… Kay?" Darius replied saying the last word in a mocking way. He had subconsciously wrapped his arm tightly around Kurt's shoulders which the aqua-mutant noticed and went wide eyed.
"Oh hell I'm sorry!" Colton told the furry mutant before Darius rolled his eyes and removed his arm from the other's shoulders. Kurt told him it was ok but was still looking away. Darius took his boyfriends hand and squeezed it making Kurt look up and him smile softly.
