Meanwhile just before and during the flight to Washington D.C.
Out of the shadow of a nearby building, Sabretooth appears on the street. Magneto had wanted him to check out the area, hoping that his incredible senses would detect something others have missed. He moved with a speed and grace that didn't seem to fit his size. Now where did they go? he thought to himself. Sabretooth stealthfully moved between buildings, looking through the dusty windows for any clues to the location of the missing X-Men.
A crackle of electricity and energy ripped through the vacant alley, accompanied by the tart smell of ozone. All reality seemed to groan and complain as a hole in the very fabric of reality opened in mid-air. The form of a young man came hurtling through the rip, which immediately closed behind him, leaving no sign of its existance save for the fast fading scent of smoke and ozone.
Nick fell several yards to the alley tarmac below. Only years of training in the Danger Room enabled him to instinctively use his flight to cushion his fall. He landed in a crouch and quickly scanned his environment. He wasn't where he had been. Where HAD he been? His memories were fragmented and dark; filled with pain and violence. He could remember the generalities, but not the specifics. He didn't know what had happened, but again, years of training took over. He needed to get his bearings, then find a place to regroup and assess his situation.
Sabretooth stopped mid-stride when he heard the crakling of Avenger's entrance. He paused to allow his senses to determine what the noise was. Ozone... Crackling energy... He quickly realized that this wasn't from a natural source. Maybe he had found Storm. He allowed his acute senses to determine the direction of the noise and slowly made his way toward it, keeping close to the buildings to cover his presense. I don't need to walk into an ambush.
Nick identified his location as being near the end of an alley cul-de-sac. He didn't know what city he was in, but according to what he could tell from the various trash scattered about he seemed to be somewhere in the USA. Next, he took a personal assessment. He wasn't injured and he still had his standard assortment of equipment. He was wearing his uniform and didn't have a change of clothes or an image inducer, so he figured getting something less conspicuous was rather high on his list of things to do.
As Sabretooth roundded a building, he saw Avenger standing in the cul-de-sac. You aren't Storm, but you are an X-Men. He pulled himself close to the building to remain hidden in the shadows, inching closer to the unaware mutant in the alley.
Nick felt a familiar presence the second Sabretooth entered the alley. The feral mutant was almost as good as Nick's mentor, Logan, but even he couldn't sneak up on Nick's spatial sense. Nick actually smiled; not because he was happy to see the psychopath, but because this Creed's presence was at least something familiar.
"What's the matter, Victor? Missed me, so you had to come and get your butt kicked again?"
Sabreooth stepped out of the shadows. "What are you talking about? I don't know you." His jagged voice echoing among the vacant buildings. But that's not going to stop me from killing you though." Sabretooth roared as he leapt at the X-Men, trying to render flesh from bone with his adamantium claws.
Reacting with a speed and skill that parallels, if not exceeds, Sabretooth's own, Nick reached into his duster, and took out a circular object, he spun around and braced himdself. Victor found his claws bouncing off of one of the few objects in the universe that they can't cut through; the most famous shield in the world.
Nick smiled. "Then introductions are in order. I'm called Avenger and I'm the guy who killed you almost a year ago. Too bad you have such a bad habit of not staying dead."
Sabretooth landded in a crotched position, ready to spring again if he wanted. "Killed me? Nobody can kill Sabretooth! Things must be getting pretty bad at Xavier's for him to sent a nutjob." Victor began to circle Avenger, trying to assess the skills of this young warrior. "Where did you get that shield, boy?"
Nick assessed his opponent. Something was not right. Sabretooth was a blowhard and not above playing mind games, but this just wasn't his style. He was actually acting like they had never battled before. If anything, Creed should be boasting about the half dozen times they fought and Nick came out on the losing end, or Logan or one of the others had to come to his rescue. What could Creed hope to gain by pretending that they'd never met?
Nick wished his head wasn't so screwed up. Why couldn't he seem to think straight? Whatever was wrong, didn't seem to be affecting his combat abilities or powers, but his memories were confused. It was like he could remember faces and names and personal details, but everything else was a blur. He remembered Creed, remembered fighting him (but couldn't remember specific battles or how many battles), remembered killing him (but couldn't remember how, when or where). He could even recite lessons on Sabretooth's abilities, personality and tactics.
What Nick couldn't seem to remember, however, included things like where he'd been and what he'd been doing before waking up in that alley. He remembered the governments of the world declaring war on mutants (and eventually on anyone with superpowers), but he couldn't remember what reasons they used or what events precipitated their decision. He remembered the layouts of the Xavier Mansion and the Triskelion, but couldn't remember how they were destroyed. He knew that both complexes HAD been destroyed, but when he tried to remember how and when, there was nothing but coufusing flashes of memory that he couldn't seem to focus on.
All of this ran through the back of Nick's head as Sabretooth circled him. The whole time, however, Nick never once let his attention wander. He knew all too well that one opening was all that Creed would need and he knew better than to give it to him.
After a moment of maneuvering, Nick decided on a battle plan. First off, he needed to know his environment better. Second, he needed more room to move around. A close quarters fight favored Creed too much. Nick preferred having a little elbow room.
The only outward sign that Nick permitted himself was the vaguest hint of a mischievous smile an instant before flying straight up. He went from zero to well over Mach One in an instant and only for an instant. The result was a massive sonic boom in the tight alley as Nick seemed even to Sabretooth's senses to simply disappear and reappear on the roof of one of the buildings bordering the alley.
Floating inches above the roof, Nick figured that the sonic boom and air displacement left in his wake in the alley had to be particularly painful to someone with the heightened reflexes that Creed had. He didn't assume that that alone would take the psychotic mutant out however. At best he'd bought himself a couple of seconds to get his bearings.
Looking around, he immediately realized that he was in Washington DC. This did little to set his mind at ease, however, because the image of the undamaged city just seemed wrong. There should have been damage. Hadn't he thrown a Sentinel through the Washington Monument . . . when was it . . . had it actually even happened . . . what was wrong with him?
The sonic boom caused Sabretooth to cover his ears. The rushing air then blew him off his feet. He rolled back and into the side of a building. When he looked back, Avenger was gone. Victor leapt to his feet and roared at the top of his lungs. He didn't like being denied a chance to kill one of the X-Men.
"COWARD!" He could feel the rage clawing at him.
Sabretooth realized that the mutant might be nearby. If Avenger had a ranged attack, Sabretooth was a sitting duck in the open. He jumped up to a fire exit on the side of the building using his enhanced strength. He found a window, smashed it in, and entered the building. Magneto might want to know about the new arrival.
Nick noticed Sabretooth slipping into the window. Wherever he was and whatever else was going on here, Creed was too dangerous to allow to run loose. Regardless of how scrambled everything else may have been, that one fact stood clear. In an instant, all other concerns were shoved to a small compartment of his brain and locked away until they could be dealt with at a more convenient time. He had work to do.
Nick was way too well trained to follow Sabretooth through the window. Instead, he flew over to the roof of the building and made his own entrance through the skylight. His spatial sense immediately scanned his surroundings; seeking to both get the lay of the terrain and to locate his opponent.
The warehouse was filled with crates, what was in them was unknown, there was a rather tall flat crate in the center of the large room ontop of which Avenger stood on from through the skylight, what he could see was a few catwalks along the second, third and forth floors along the walls and going everywhere in the huge building.
the crates were stacked up like hay in a haybarn, iterlocking with the other as to not fall over, there was two box trailers(without the wheels) stacked against what looked to be the door to the warehouse, which mad getting through the main door was a bad idea as it was sealed shut because of the two box trailers
Nick dialed up his headset to full scan and addsed the data to his spatial awareness. He was looking for movement, heat signatures, heartbeats, breath sounds and anything else that would tell him the location of his target or other occupants of the building. He was also trying to locate, identify and isolate the sounds of any machinery in the warehouse.
When Avenger looked down he'd see three symbols, two were clearly unknown the third was a well known feline mark on the third symbol, seemed a momma cat had marked the crate as her area. however even without the feline mark on the third symbol it was clearly the mark of the Brotherhood of Mutants.
There came a clatter of footsteps as two men, both soldiers, armed with AK47 rifles appeared at the sounds of shttering glass, neither one said anything, as they split up, both went to higher catwalks, one was on the same level of a catwalk as Avenger was, and the other was one level down. The warehouse was dark and only had three lights on. the Soldiers never looked Avengers way nor did they find Sabertooth's hiding place.
Avenger noted the Brotherhood mark and commits the other two to memory. He also notes the locations of the two soldiers and keeps his senses alert. Other than that, he stays in the air, stays in the shadows and keeps feeling around for Sabretooth. If he detects Creed attacking one of the soldiers, or one of them detects him, he took steps to deal with the threat and protect the life of the soldiers. After all, they posed no serious threat to him and were only doing their jobs.
Sabretooth crept around the boxes in the warehouse. He could hear the soldiers moving through the warehouse. He could also smell them. He moved like a cat in the jungle, stalking his prey. First the soldiers, then the new little man. He moved behind the soldier on the lower level with him. This was too easy but the soldier could complicate things.
Nick almost smiled as Creed moved toward the soldier. The feral mutant was good; one of the best, but even he couldn't hide from Nick's tactile spatial awareness. Nick immediately slid his father's shield back into the dimensional pocket of his duster and pulled out a flash grenade. He triggered the sphere and threw it towards the lower catwalk between Creed and his would be victim.
"Naughty, naughty, Creed," Nick said as the blinding flash went off almost right at Sabretooth's feet and illuminated the entire warehouse for an instant. "No slicing soldiers while I'm around."
Creed smiled as he heard the flash grenade coming. Just as i wanted. He closed his eyes as the grenade went off, then simply slipped away from the guard. The soldier will think he is being attacked. Lets see the kid handle them. He moved quickly back up the crates and out of the window he came in through.
When the flash grenade went off the Soldier was thankfully not looking Creed's way, he had his back to him, then spun after the thing went off, He got on his radio, "Base Entry this Chev, we got a pair of badits in Building Five, need backup, over." The soldier then took off down the catwalk for the row of windows, all of them unshattered, not seeing Sabertooth get out in the darked warehouse.
"Chev is this is Green, third level is clear, what was the flash?" Chevs radio went off.
"Unknown, still finding out, Backup should be here soon." Chev replied. the two soldiers then once more went silent as they kept their lights on as they looked around the warehouse. one of them two, Green, walked right under the crate that Avenger had landed on in the warehouse. The soldier never looked up. he just moved on.
You won't get away that easy, Nick thought as he felt Creed moving towards the window.
Sabretooth was fast and mobile, but Avenger was faster and could fly. Thought and action were almost simultaneous as he became a blur of motion that the soldiers were unlikely to even be able to see, much less follow, exited through the skylignt and was waiting for Creed when he exited the window. He threw a powerful punch at his feral opponent's jaw; intent on knocking Creed back into and probably most of the way through the building.
The sound of wind going by made Green turn in a full circle, then look up and he saw the shattered skylight, "HQ this is Green in Building Five, we have a bandit somewhere inside, Chev and I could use some backup over." He said going to a ladder leading up to the roof of the cat walk.
Outside the warehouse not only was the team, nearing where Sabertooth and Avenger first met the other, but the soldiers were running by as if they were under attack from something, each was armed with the standard FNP-90, which was a bit different then Teyilia's perfered weapon. A soldier appeared atop the nearst warehouse, "Chev this is green backup has arrived, what's your status?"
"Second level clear, one shattered window, glass though is both inside and out, Moving on to ground level, Chev out" came the response.
--------------------------------
Meanwhile the team has gotton their SUV
Letting Teyilia drive, Logan took the shotgun seat and kept the window open. As they drew closer to their destination, he began to stick his head out and sniff the air. At first he wasn't sure about the familiar scent he seemed to be getting. As they approached the location of Storm's last contact, however, he confirmed the presence of his nemesis.
"I ain't picked up the scents of Storm's team yet," he announced with a growl, "but Creed's nearby an' that just can't be a coincidence. When we find him, I'm bettin' we'll find what happened to 'Ro an' th' others."
Teyilia nodded, "Right, I don't smell Storm or the her team at all" she said shifted for a moment so she could get a better sense of smell, which was the same as Logans own senses. When he said Creed was nearby she just smiled, the day was getting funner and funner with every passing moment.
As she pulled the SUV around a corner she noticed the warehouses behind a fence, the gate was open as if waiting for them. Teyilia shifted back into human form before the soldier noticed as she brought the SUV to a stop so the soldier could see them and let them through, which he did after seeing the driver.
Within a few minutes more the Team was nearing the first of five large warehouses.
Logan got out of the car as soon as Teyilia pulled to a stop. "Creed's in that building. Got three others in there with him. Don't recognize 'em, but one seems . . . familiar. Can't place it."
Scion could only smell the air that was let through the window, not knowing what Sabertooth smelt like or even remembering what Storm and her team smelt like he didnt know what to say but he could smell something that was familiar to him though thought of it to be impossible and shrugged it off then caught a strong whiff from the front seat, "all I can smell is Logans sweaty armpits"
"Oh, move out of my way," Spero half-joked at hearing that she had an oppertunity to 'smell logans armpits'. "So, how much farther? I am getting a bit bored, isn't there some easier way to find people now-days? Satalite imaging or something?" Spero shifted in her seat.
Logan ignored Scion's banter. The kid was nervous. He did answer Spero's comments, however. "We already tried 'em. That's what Chuck was usin' all last night. Whatever's goin' on here ain't registerin' on any o' the most advanced detection systems on this planet. Now, we gotta go back t' th' basics." That said, he started following the all too familiar scent towards one of the warehouses.
Teyilia got out of the car and tossed the keyes to Logan as she passed him, "Hang on to those" she said as she reached into the SUV for her gun as the soldiers tore past as if they were competing for a medal of honor somewheres. Teyilia shifted as if not thinking of it as her arm reaching for her gun changed into a bit of tannish yellow fur, which disappeared almost right away as she noticed the smell of burnt ozone, "Loagn, you smell that?" she asked going to where the smell was the storngest, there was a metal barrel used for buring trash that the soldiers used to keep warm at night while on watch. Looking up to a door she opened it and entered the warehouse, right upon entering she caught Storm's scent on both the door and the doorframe itself. "Well, seems that if this was where Storm last contacted us" she said knocking on the metal frame, amazed that her scent was still on the metal door after so long. Teyilia then entered the warehouse.
"Right, just walk it without a thought to the fact that it could be a trap, I get it, the plan is to get killed. That sounds great, but if you don't mind, I will try not to get shot." Spero followed Teyilia in, keeping her eyes open, though Teyilia or Logan would probibally smell danger before it ever came within eye site. She fiddled with 2 of the marbles in her right hand as she walked in.
The little lionboy climbed out of the suv closing the door behind him and straightening his jacket and walked slowly after Tey, Logan and Spero sniffing the air, the smell of ozone wasnt what was arousing his suspicions but the familiar smell he had smelt earlier was a little bit stronger but couldn't quite put his finger on it(or paw for arguements sake) he walked up to the door frame as if to follow Tey and the others when something caught his eye, someone had graffiti'd on one of the walls outside the warehouse he walked over to it and traced his finger round the marks, as if lost in thought his mind racing he felt sick to his stomach, his face and eyes lost a bit of colour and he decided not to say anything incase he was just being paranoid and went in through the doorway following the others the smell of storm put a slight smile on his face but his face and eyes were still the same
------------------------------------------
There came a banging noise that Avenger heard clear as a bell, then the door opened fully (though he was outside and couldn't see it) and Teyilia stepped through, Chev appeared, "You the backup HQ sent?" he asked looking over the team, his eyes mostly on Teyilia's P-90 SLA in her hands.
"You could say that" Teyilia said looking around, "What's the deal of you calling for backup?"
"We got a bandit or two inside, two smashed windows, one of them a skylight, only the glass is not all over the floor as one would think, other then that, Green and I have been scouting around inside, we've yet to see anyone" Chev reported, Chev was in his late thirties and had the standard haircut of a soldier. He had a young boysh face that made him look younger then he was, along with brighte blue eyes.
Teyilia looked around, "Very well, have you, or your fellow soldier noticed anything out of the norm in this building? anything missing, people going in and out unannouced?" Teyilia asked seeming to take charge of the soldier before her.
Chev shook his head, "Nope, not off the top of my head, though there was a few odd lookin' fellows coming in and out of here at the wee hours of the morning the past four weeks, the night watchmen, we call him Nighty, said the men came in SUVs, like that one" Chev pointed to the SUV the team had outside, "Said they had brought boxes as well as left with boxes, the number of boxes inside here though is always the same, never any missing."
"OK, get on your radio and let the other guard know that backup has arrived, then go join him as he will most likely need you. We'll take it from here." Teyilia said, Chev nodded and left, heading for the rooftop of the warehouse.
Spero came in and nodded as she say Teyilia take control of the situation. Instead, she started looking around the warehouse, taking note of the location of all the windows, doors, and any other possible exits/entrences, or catwalks. She also took note of what the walls and the doors appeared to be made of. She tried to get a basic layout of the crates sitting around as well. But otherwise remained quiet.
Scion followed Spero inside and smiled weakly with a slightly pale look on his face and eyes, but stood ready waiting for an order and looked up at the different catwalks in the building
Teyilia reached into her combat vest pocket and pulled out a pair of sunglasses and put them on,, two seconds later a beep was heard by Logan and Scion as the sunglasses made a wireless link hookup with the cross hairs on Teyilia's P-90 SLA. "alright, split into pairs, Spero your with Gambit, you guys take the top walkway and the roof, Logan your on your own on the ground floor, Scion your with me we have the first and second level catwalks, if anyone finds anything call it in with your location" She said before heading deeper into the warehouse, passing a stack of crates that went to the ceiling, she passed her light over a crate and three symbols appeared, two she knew right away the third she didn't, one was the Brotherhood of Mutants, the other of the Faction from Ann Arbor, but what was the third one?
Scion clenched his paws and nodded and followed Teyilia, when Teyilia stopped at the crates and looked at them he noticed the symbols, he didnt recognise the first 2 that Teyilia did but he recognised the 3rd to anyone they'd look like 3 drops of water but they werent they were 3 black rose petals side by side the same pattern of the grafitti outside the building, seeing this made scions stomach start doing backflips he looked down at the ground then took a deep breath trying to calm himself hoping his suspicions wouldnt lead them into that sort of trouble.
He pushed past Teyilia to a ladder and started climbing up to the first level catwalk he looked around then unclasped one of his paws and put his claws into a point and focused on only putting a small amount of electricity around them and created a small ring of electricity around his paw and it shone like a torch, he pointed it down the walkway looking close at the floor for clues of what might have happened here but waited for Teyilia to catch up
Something smelled... different, but what was it? OK this is odd, what is that smell coming from? Teyilia wondered as she passed a crate, then Scion passed her to the ladder and started to look around with his own, makeshift light, which actually worked really well, Guess I'm gonna have to... Ok there it is again, what is that smell?? Teyla stopped next to a crate, the smell was strong, plus the crate was at the bottom of the stack that Avenger had landed on and floated above, Teyilia shifted a bit to get a better sense of smell and balance, then it hit her full force, There is a cat living in here, with young most possibly, I hope they are safe in case something goes wrong. she thought, going into a low crouch and pushing off and grabbing hold of the top of the crate with one hand, her claws digging in, and the cat mark scent filling her nose and mouth. from where she was she got a good look around the place, as well as noted that the crate also had the three marks, she looked closely at the thrid mark, Wonder if it is a watermark? She thought pulling herself up to the top of the crate and then jumping over to Scion on the catwalk one level below.
As Sabretooth reached the window, he could see others gathering outside. Then came the blow from Avenger. Creed flew back into the warehouse and into a stack of crates. As he began to get up, he noticed a floor drain to his left among the wooden splinters of the crates. Using his claws, he cut around the drain then jumped down into the sewers below, replacing the drain behind him. The sounds of splashing echoed down the tuneels as Sabretooth ran away from the warehouse.
Scion jumped not expecting Teyilia to jump infront of him, at least not like that. acting a little bit on edge he heard the tumbling of crates as Sabertooth fell into them and shone the makeshift lightning torch towards the crates not seeing anything there, then his ears twitched on top of his head as he heard splashing moving away from the building, "do you hear that?"
Logan separated from the rest of the team and began to prowl around the warehouse. The scents of Ororo's team were definitely present, but not fresh. The scent of Sabretooth and this other were far more recent. He was doing a circuit of the ground level of the place when he heard the crash of Sabretooth flying into the crates. By the time he reached the area, however, all that was left was the hole and the sound of splashing. He was just about to follow Creed into the sewers when Avenger appeared.
Avenger flew back into the warehouse through the window; intending to pursue Sabretooth. As he entered, however, he saw something that he knew in his heart couldn't be. A memory of Logan battling a dozen Sentinels and taking out several of them before the rest took him down and blasted his carcass until there was nothing left but a pile of adamantium flashed painfully across his mind. Nick knew for a fact that Logan was dead and yet, there the man was standing before him. It was the last straw. He stopped and just floated there in mid air looking at Logan in shock; his body limp.
Spero finally caught up with Logan and began to yell, "What was that... Hey, who are you?" she finished seeing Avenger floating limply in the air. "Um. I am I missing something?" Spero looked between the tow men a few times before sighing and sitting down, "Don't tell me; it's a long story isn't it? Well, I have time but I supose you would rather chase after whoever went down that sewer." She pointed to the hole in the floor. "We can talk later" She dropped down into the sewers and took in her new surroundings, specifically looking for anyone waiting to attack.
Teyilia was about to say something when the crash came, thwen she heard Spero yelling her question. she turned as Scion did, though she had a better light and only saw Logan staring at someone else, his back to her and Scion, "I'm not sure if I am seeing it, but I sure heard it" she said.
She looked to Scion, Storms scented ended right where the two were standing on the second level catwalk, and where Storms scentended the mother cat's scent started stornger then ever, which made Teyilia shift into fully human, "You smell that?" she ask Scion who was stnading next to her, meaning the cat marks inside the warehouse.
Logan looks at Avenger, but talks to Spero. "He's wearin' an X-Men uniform, but I never seen him before. He looks like a younger version of a guy I know named Rogers. Be careful. Th' idiot y'r about t' try t' follow's called Sabretooth an' he's probably leading ya into a trap 'r ambush. Better let me take point."
He enters the opening and begins to track Creed.
Scion then shone his light down at Logan and Spero then up at the new guy then at Tey as Tey spoke to him, he took a deep breath inhaling as much as he could while sniffing and nearly hacked to death"oh my god is there roadkill in here or something? it smells like me on a bad day"
Teyilia looked around the catwalk, there was a few burn marks on the thing, plus there was no railing whatsoever on the catwalk, Teyilia spoke, "That is one way of putting the smell as something, though I didn't want to to hear it, it actually put me in a better mood." She said, "That smell is of a feral cat, I'm unsure of how big or if there is more then one, though it has marked its territory, more then once."
Teyilia saw Spero and Loagn head down, leaving the person that Logan was staring at somewhere nearby. Rogers, why do I know that name? she wondered, she keyed her radio, the headset over he left ear came to life, not knowing that Avenger could hear her clear as day on his own radio, "Logan, what are you doing? Who else is inside here other then us and the soldiers?"
The cajun had stayed quiet through the whole trip, not once did he say anything, which for him was odd in and of itself. Now Gambit wandered around the warehouse, he'd watched the others, then seemed to disappear in the shadows, but he remained alert, anyone with a keen smell could find him. He was out of visual sight.
"A feral ca...?" Scion turned off his make shift torch and ran to the edge of the catwalk looking down at the crates Tey was stood by earlier, 'its not marking territory, its been captur... oh my god we need to leave'
he moves back to Tey with a lighter step than before so asnot to make much noise, "uhm Tey I have a really bad feeling that we shouldn't be here"
Avenger looked around; totally confused and in shock. This wasn't possible. Suddenly, however, it struck him. He was a X-Man. The impossible was a daily occurance. Parallel dimensions and timelines were known commodities to the people he was raised amongst. The only X-Men he recognized in this reality, at least so far, were Logan and Gambit. A woman in the rafters, however, seemed to be calling the shots, so he figured that was a good place to start.
Flying up to Teyilia's and Scion's position, he hovered in mid air. "Uh . . . I don't know you, but you seem to be the leader of this team. I'm called Avenger and, believe it or not, I'm a member of the X-Men, too. Explanations and introductions can be done later. Right now, we're dealing with Sabretooth. I encountered him shortly after I arrived in this . . . dimension, timeline, world, reality, whatever. The fight brought us into this warehouse. He's disappeared into the sewers below. Logan and a young woman who appears to be a member of your team are following him. There are boxes here, however, that bear the markings of the Brotherhood, as well as other markings I'm unfamiliar with. I don't know what your mission is, but these may bear investigating."
Spero bowed with an exagerated motion meaning, 'be my guest.' As Logan begins to search to sewers, Spero closed her eyes, "You might want to close your eyes for a secound." She warns Logan before concentraiting on everywhere light is seeping into the sewers.
Logan nodded and closed his eyes for a moment to allow Spero to do whatever she seemed to be intent on trying. At the same time, he focused on trying to separate Creed's scent from the effluvia of the Washington sewers. It's not an easy job even for him.
Suddenly, a bright flash lit the sewers then the sewers went back to a normal sewery light level. Then the light increased slightly to make it easier to search the area. "I figure the first might disorient him, and the secound is so I don't step in the crap." Spero smiled happily before hooking her case to the sheath and, in the same motion, putting out her sword. "Ready?"
Teyilia spoke into her radio again, "Logan, come in please, Logan do you copy?" Teyilia let out a breath, "Damit all" she muttered as Scion came back looking rather worried, "I'm starting to agree with you" she said.
Then Avenger showed up in the air, thinking he was a enemy she aimed her gun at him, she didn't fire though, instead she only held the light on him, "am I supposed to know you?" she asked the man floating in the air, "Two of the symbols on the crates I know of, one is indeed of the Brotherhood, the second is of Cartuchi, a rebel faction in Ann Arbor, the third I've no idea of, though it looks like a water stain" she lowered her weapon then said, "I am in charge of this team, we lost three of our own, you say you are a X-Man yourself, yet we haven't met, I am called Teyilia, this is Scion, Gambit is somewhere around as well as Logan and Spero down in the sewers, which sadly there is nothing left as we heard... Sabertooth was it? We heard him fleeing, though if he's gone I've no clue."
Scion looked to the ground knowing all to well what that third symbol was and it certainly werent no water stain, he looked up at the guy floating infront of him and Teyilia not saying a word,letting Tey finish. "please Tey just trust me on this, we have to get outside, in the open..."
Scion was acting extremely spooked his face seemed whiter than it had ever been before, someone would have thought he had seen a ghost or something, his paws were starting to shake,
"why? why on my first mission... just my luck... why them?" Scion had started mumbling to himself and he jumped around paranoid like thinking he heard the mechanical whirring of a camera changing focus or turning on a hinge
Teyilia's left ear twitched as what seemed to be a camra for the warehouse turned to look their way, at first she didn't think much of it, then she heard it, a faint clicking sound, then out of the corner of her eye she noticed Scion getting really jumpy, "What's gotton into you?" she asked, then a faint humming sound was heard as the "camra" had a red, "recording" light on, which then turned off a few secons later, then a red dot appeared on the catwalk and a laser hit the thing thankfully not cutting through it, but it bounced off the metal catwalk as if the thing was a mirrior, which it was.
"Forget the question!" she shouted firing a few rounds at the "camra", which then started up a few more, within a few seconds the three where srrounded by three colors of lasers, there was at least a dozen of them, moving in such a way that one had to be fast to get out of the "room" made of lasers that were always moving.
