Well here we are, chapter 2 in my xmen/24 story. Thank you to those who have taken the time to read and review my story. Please continue, don't be shy.
So in this chapter we meet Jack Bauer, and learn a little bit about his past. I do not own 24 or Xmen for that matter, nor will I ever. All characters in both shows and movies belong to Marvel and Fox. Thank you…Now on with the show!!!
A man sat on a park bench. It was a beautiful summer morning in Los Angeles. The man took in the peace and quiet as he drank his coffee in complete and utter silence. Since it was only 7:00 in the morning, the park was empty, just the way he liked it.
This man is named Jack Bauer. Jack has had a complicated life to say the least. He was raised by his father, a member of a radical group called the Friends of Humanity that had a hatred for mutants. They would often show their hatred through violence. This was bad news for Jack, because he was a mutant.
Jacks powers first manifested when he was 15. When his father found out he kicked Jack to the curb.
"You are no son of mine!" His father screamed as Jack left the house he had been forced to call home, but it was no home. You are supposed to fell safe in a home; you are supposed to be loved in a home. Jack felt neither, so he was glad he was leaving.
Jack lived on and off the streets for the next 3 years. Until he met the love of his life, Teri. Teri came from a family that were all humans, but they excepted mutants, they treated them like equals. Teri met him and offered him a place to stay. Jack would call that his home. He married Teri when he was 18 and they had a daughter together named Kimberly. They thought if Kim would become a mutant like her father, or remain human like her mother. They did not worry about that though. No matter what happened they would love her. For 10 years they lived happily, raising their young daughter, and for the first time, Jack felt at peace. Then things changed, Teri was murdered.
That was 8 years ago, and Jack doesn't know how he would have gotten through the loss without the help of his best friend, Tony Almeida.
Jack shook his head and sipped his coffee. He stared at the play ground in front of him. He remembered a time when he would push his daughter on the same set of swings. He smiled to himself missing those kind of moments that would forever be with him.
As Jack stood up he felt the ground shake.
"What the hell?" he thought. He remained silent as the noises came closer and closer to him. Then the noises stopped. Jack slowly turned around and found himself staring at a 100 foot metal robot.
"Well that's new." Jack told himself. Suddenly the Sentinel suck out its hand and a metal coil shot right at Jack and wrapped it self around Jacks hand, forcing Jack to drop his coffee.
"I wasn't finished with that yet." Jack told the sentinel.
Before Jack new it he was being hoist off the ground by the sentinel and they were flying off way up in the air.
"Congratulations. You have just managed to piss me off." Jack screamed at the robot. With that Jack grabbed the coil with his free hand and yanked the 100 ton robot back down to him and kicked his leg, leaving a huge dent in the robots leg.
Once free Jack climbed up the robot towards the head. The sentinel desperately tried to shake Jack off, but Jack kept his grip tight. The sentinel made a fist and slammed it in to Jack. There was a loud crunching noise, only it wasn't Jack it was the sentinel. The sentinel was left with a impression of Jack on its hand, and Jack was left untouched
Jack smirked and climbed up to its head.
"Halt!" the robot ordered. Jack just punched a hole into the robots head and ripped out a bunch of wires. Suddenly they stopped moving through the air and started to fall back to the ground.
"Oops." Jack let out before they crashed into an open field. "This is gonna hurt."
Jack was trapped under the 100 ton robot. But he effortlessly lifted him up off him and threw him back into the ground. Jack left the crater sized hole they had created and walked back towards the road. He opened his hand and eyed a chip he had pulled from the sentinels hand.
"What are you and who sent you?" Jack asked the lifeless sentinel.
Jack carefully put the chip in his pocket. He put on a pair of aviators and headed back to the city.
"There's only one person who can give me an answer." He said as he went to get a ride to the city.
So tell me what you think, I would appreciate it very very much. So Jack's power is that he is virtually indestructible. However he does have weaknesses that we will learn about in the next few chapters. Any guesses on who Jack will be visiting for help on who did this? The more reviews I get, the faster I update so don't be shy!!!
