Chapter 4: their first mission
The next morning Valerie went to track down the other members of X-factor that hadn't woken up yet.
"Okay everyone up!" she yelled over the intercom which only caused about half the members to wake up and go to where she was waiting.
"That's it." Valerie growled as she went to where the intercom was and pulled out a wind up alarm clock and made the alarm clock go off into the intercom.
"Good I see everyone is here now."
Everyone just groaned in response.
"Okay you charming people today is your first mission, it was ordered by the higher ups, any questions?"
"I have one," asked Icarus as Valerie passed the pictures around "Is the mission having to do with the incidents with the friends of humanity?"
"Very good Icarus, as for your question yes it does, according to the reports members wearing clothing similar to theirs kidnapped two mutants."
"Who are they?" Dust asked as one picture showed a young man with green skin and what looked like a deformed arm and another showed a picture of a young man with brown hair and had a depressed look.
"The green kid is named Victor Borkowski and the other is named Kevin Ford, both are mutants from the New York area."
"What are their powers?" asked Armor
"Victor's is a physical mutation as you can tell, we are not sure the extent of his abilities, the other kid Kevin has the ability to wither any organic matter that he touches."
"So what are we suppose to do exactly?" asked Prodigy
"We are going to rescue these two and return them to their homes, any questions?"
Not a sound was heard.
"Okay everyone meet in the vehicle/parking area in a few minutes that is all."
A few minutes later everyone met up at the vehicle/parking area.
"Okay everyone, this is a find mission find the mutants rescue them and get out." Valerie ordered.
"I have a bad feeling about this." Dust muttered
"Friend Dust what is this friends of humanity?" Starfire asked
"Sorry Starfire, I forget you don't always understand, anyway the friends of humanity are a group of people that want to destroy mutants just because they are mutants."
"That sounds horrible how can people be that cruel?"
"Sometimes I wish I knew."
A little while later the group arrived at where the two mutants were being held
"Okay I see the guards Five in one do your thing." Havok ordered
"Got it." All five said at once as their eyes glowed white as they used their powers to take over the guards mind
"I see them," Sophie replied while her sisters controlled the guard. "Almost to the cell now and the guard the others are controlling is about to open the cell we have a problem though."
"What is it?" Prodigy asked.
"There aren't two mutants in the cell there are three in there."
"Okay slight change of plans than rescue the other mutant as well as the other two afterwards we'll find out the information." Valerie ordered
"Okay we're on the way out," Esme replied "Whatever you guys are planning get ready to do it."
A few minutes later the possessed guard came out followed by the three mutants one of which was a mutant that was female and had red hair and what looked like silver skin.
"Okay on the count of three Five in one release the hold on them and as soon as they're released Dust create a distraction to escape."
"Okay everyone ready, go!"
A few minutes later the guard started regaining his bearings when he noticed the three mutants escaping with what looked like an airborne sandstorm blocking anyone from chasing after them.
"Okay we have them now what?" asked Icarus as the group went towards the vehicle that had brought them only to dodge a laser blast.
"Is it those friends of Humanity people, did they follow us?" Armor asked as she powered up.
"No it looks like some others; I think it's the X-men," Dust replied "one of them just tried to read my mind."
"Okay what's the plan should we fight them?" Prodigy asked as he dodged another laser blast
"Looks like we don't have much choice," Havok said "Dust do you know any of these guys?"
"Just the guy with claws he can cut through anything."
"Okay Armor take the claw guy Starfire and Five in one take the telepath I'll take the leader, Dust take the guy that seems to be teleporting around and Prodigy guard the mutants we rescued.
"Got it." The group said as they spit up to cover their targets.
With Wolverine and Armor…
"Look kid just give us those mutants you kidnapped and we can end this peacefully." Wolverine said
"That's funny," Armor said "we didn't kidnap them and I was going to ask you the same thing."
With Dust and Nightcrawler …
"Look we don't have a gripe with you so just back up and let us go," Dust said as she stayed half dust form and half human form "we need to get those mutants back to their homes."
"But you guys kidnapped them." Nightcrawler said
"No we rescued them from that Friends of Humanity branch did the professor have you guys research everything before coming here?"
"How do you know the professor?"
"It's a long story, look can we talk about this."
"How do I know you are telling the truth?" Nightcrawler asked as he tried to teleport only to find he couldn't move
"I don't think you'll be able to move," Dust said "when I dodged you last time I hit a couple pressure points I don't think you will be moving anytime soon."
Suddenly there was the sound of sirens approaching
"Hey we better get out of here," Havok yelled "X-factor our mission is complete get in the ship and retreat!"
"I think that's your cue to leave as well," Dust said as she hit a release pressure point on Nightcrawler "get your team and leave quick!"
"Valerie we have the captured mutants." Prodigy reported a few minutes later after the group had taken off in their ship.
"That's great."Valerie said in a strained voice.
"Is something wrong ma'am?"
"I'll explain it when you get back."
"Understood, where should we drop these mutants at?"
"There is a safe zone set up drop them off there I'll translate the coordinates."
"Understood." Prodigy replied
A few minutes later the jet arrived at the drop off point.
"Thank you for saving us." The silver haired girl replied with Victor and Kevin nodding in agreement "You are welcome." Dust replied
"Anyway my names Cessily, that Kevin and Victor, have we met before?"
"Maybe we met in another lifetime somewhere."
"I guess so."
With that said the group left the plane.
"Good luck!" Armor called out as the jet got ready to leave.
"Friend Dust, who were those people that we were fighting with?" Starfire asked as the plane left to go back to headquarters.
"I'm not sure but I think that might be the new team of X-men, they are a group mutants who are supposed to help protect the world for both human and mutants."
"You sound like you know them."
"Five years ago I was one of them before it went bad."
"Went bad?"
"I don't want to talk about it Starfire please drop the subject."
"As you wish friend Dust."
End of chapter 4
Sorry this wasn't longer I got writer's block and figured I end it here.
I'm assuming the some of readers got the joke with Dust and Mercury (the silver skinned girl)
Coming up in the next few chapters:
Why was Valerie aggravated and why did Dust leave the X-men
Coming up in future chapters
Until next chapter everyone.
