Don't Be Afraid Of the Dark
Chapter 4
Azazel does the voice-over...
Previously on X-Men Evolution...
Logan turned "who the hell could that be at this hour?" He asked himself going to the door as the banging increased "I'm comin'!" the feral barked but that only made their late night visitor angrier, threatening to knock the door down.
At the door, Logan was met by an infuriated Mystique as she snarled "where are my children, Logan?!" Logan shot her an incredulous look as he raised an eyebrow, ready to slam the door hard on her.
"Rogue...she's upstairs sleeping" Logan growled grumpily, he wasn't in the mood to act like he needed the likes of her around him right now "but Kurt...he and Pete's been kidnapped" he said with forced calm.
In her anger, Mystique took the form of Cain Marko, the Juggernaut "he's been what?!"
Logan's nails scratched the door he was holding as she returned to her normal form "some fuckin' mother you are, try to kill yer own children then you suddenly 'care' now?!" Logan barked at her, Xavier came up behind him but made no attempt to stop him.
Logan had been silent when she revealed she was the mother of Kurt and Rogue and yet again when she still kept trying to kill them, but this...this was the last goddamn straw.
"Look, I'm gonna make sure they're safe and sound personally" Logan got right up in her face "but I'll say this to ya ONLY ONCE, don't you dare come back here makin' threats and demands of me to see either of them EVER...cuz unless they make it clear to me that they truly want to see ya again, I'll make sure ya NEVER see 'em again!"
"What?" Raven asked, gravely underestimating just how pissed Logan was at this moment "you have no right to keep my own children from me!"
Logan's fist pounded the doorframe in frustration causing both Xavier and Mystique to flinch as his blue eyes widened "I'm done talkin', wanna blame someone fer Kurt bein' in the hands of a serial killer, blame the person who hired him in the first damn place, Magneto!"
"Erik?" She gasped as Logan nodded and continued "Now if ya don't mind...don't be here next time I open this door or I'll make ya regret it" he popped his claws "...very dearly" he then slammed the door in her face full strength and walked past Xavier who was still silent as they both went to bed "I know, Chuck...but she was askin' fer it and had no right getting up in my face with her bull."
Meanwhile, the X-Men get a scary new visitor...
There was a knock at the door as Logan scowls, hoping that it isn't Mystique again "I'm comin'..." He grunted calmly.
He saw something he never expected when he opened the door, Azazel as he glared at him, looking him up and down "Who the French fries are you?" He tried not to use his usual course language as the Professor scolded him after what he did to Mystique, even though he was very much justified.
"I am Azazel" Azazel said "and I've come to see my son"
Logan twitched, looking at him in silence before slamming the door and stalking away cussing under his breath.
"Very big mistake..." Azazel growled outside the door as Logan's eyes widened.
Xavier was in his office when he heard Logan scream "Logan?" He called cautiously but got no answer though he could sense Logan was still alive.
Azazel walked in, carrying Logan by the neck with his tail as he looked around then to Xavier "I'll ask again...only...once" he put a picture of a baby Kurt on his desk "Where is my son?!" He tossed Logan into a chair before he strangled him as the feral glared at him dangerously.
"Is your son Kurt Wagner?" Xavier smartly asked as Azazel only nodded, Logan giving him a curious look...if he'd abandoned Kurt as well like Mystique, they'd need to have a very serious talk.
"Yer...Kurt's father?!" Logan got to his feet popping his claws and very disturbed as Azazel looks at him from the corner of his eye "Is that a problem?" He said with no emotion whatsoever.
"Is that a problem?!" Logan snapped back, knowing Kurt never spoke of his father...if he knew who his father was to begin with "you sorry, ugly mother-!"
"Logan!" Xavier interrupted as both were ready to tear each other's throats out "see if you can get ahold of X-23 again."
Logan glared at Azazel "yeah yeah, Chuck...I got my eye on you fer sure, bub." Azazel nods "As you mortals say, whatever rows your boat...bub" he smirked as Logan's eye twitched in held back fury.
Logan walks out of the room, leaving Azazel with Xavier...as soon as he's out of earshot of Xavier, he goes a bit further for Azazel's sake, he trusted him just about as much as he likes Michael.
As he's about to call Laura, though, it rings...it's Laura.
"Logan?" X-23 answers on the other line, Logan smiled...he'd missed his daughter/clone since her departure from the mansion "I got your message and missed call, sorry I couldn't answer..."
"That's not a problem..." Logan said "when can ya get here, darlin'?"
"I'll be there tomorrow..." X-23 remained silent as a sign that she was quite worried about Logan as he caught on and said "that's good...and you needn't worry about me"
She was still silent for a moment "If you say so...see ya." She hung up.
Logan growled under his breath as he was seemingly alone...but he knew otherwise "seriously...what is wrong with Kurt's fucked up relatives just popping up so much lately?" He snarled under his breath and turned and took a hasty step back as Azazel was right up in his face.
"Logan, was it?" He asked picking his fingernails "why do I get the feeling that you hate me?"
Logan remained silent "I'm not answering the man that abandoned my friend...Lord Azazel" he said calmer.
Suddenly, Logan found himself pinned to the wall by his throat "try me..."
Logan looked at Azazel, enraged "you don't know what she's been doin' to them, do ya?" He said more than asked as Azazel raised an eyebrow and puts him down as he fixed his shirt "Look fer me in the garage if ya really want to know what Mystique's done to tick...me...off" Logan then walked off.
Azazel looked at him for a moment "why does hearing of something Mystique's done always leave me so uneasy?" He asked himself with a sigh.
Now...
Logan was fixing and tuning his beloved bike, grumbling to himself until he saw Azazel come in as he walked out to the kitchen...with Azazel like the annoying roach he is, following him.
Logan smiles "you sure you can take what she's done, bub?" He asked "I know this is something ya need to know and would find out even if I don't tell ya but..."
"You wouldn't have brought it up as soon as you knew I was Kurt's father if it weren't important" Azazel interrupted as Logan frowned then shrugged "where do I start...ah, the school Kurt and the other teens that live here go to."
Azazel grabbed Logan, teleporting him back to his bike as he said with narrowed eyes "go on..."
"Just so she could keep tabs on 'em, she became the school's principal to recruit the Acolytes for Magneto...Rogue ended up bein' one of them"
"What makes these 'Acolytes' so different from you X-Men?" Azazel just had to ask, curious as to why they thought Rogue was not meant to be one of them.
"Xavier should've told ya this...not me" Logan growled as bit "the X-Men, us, want peace between humanity and mutants, while the Brotherhood of Evil...or the Acolytes, use their powers publicly to attack or scare humans, who they believe fer some stupid reason are beneath them"
"...and Mystique, she's one of them?" Azazel asked as Logan nodded while not looking at Azazel "Bingo, she knew during Apocolypse's reawakening, because of her, that they were her cubs but still attempted to destroy us all, betraying the Brotherhood to do so..."
Azazel's hand rested on Logan's bike as his touch scorched the seat "when I get my hands on her..." He snarled "how dare her harm my heirs?!"
Logan smells something burning and whacked Azazel's toes with his wrench "Hey, don't take yer fury out on my bike, take it out on Raven!" He snapped back angrily before rolling out of the way before Azazel could stomp his head.
In Rogue and Kitty's room, Rogue woke up and went downstairs where she found most of the mutants in the mansion trying to eavesdrop on a conversation between Logan and a visitor they had yet to meet. They were also trying not to get caught as something was bothering both it seems.
"Uh, my head" Rogue said rubbing when she heard voices telling her to be quiet.
Her eyes snapped open to see Amara, Bobby, Kitty, Ray, Jean, Spyke and Scott with teachers Ororo and Hank all trying to hear as much of the conversation with the stranger as possible.
"What is goin' on here?" Rogue asked in confusion as Bobby snapped at her "shut up, Anna...this is juicy" he chuckled deviously.
"If ya tell me shut up one more time, Bobby" Rogue threatened beginning to take her glove off when she got a look at Azazel and gasped "he's the thing that appeared when Michael used his powers against Kurt."
Azazel blinked then looked Rogue straight in the eye, she couldn't explain her feeling just then but she ran to get back to her room, as she touched the doorknob, sure that he couldn't have followed, she felt his hand over her shoulder "well well, you must be the one Raven's been trying to hide from me..."
Suddenly, a voice interrupted "Hey, let go of her!" Both looked to their right as Warren Worthington III, codenamed Angel stood there with his brown trench coat in his hand and the white wings that earned him his codename were on his back, though one was still covered in bandages, thanks to his and Logan's encounter with Sabretooth.
"Angel?" Anna-Marie said "when did you get back on your feet?"
"Angel, huh?" Azazel let go of Rogue but was face to face with the avian mutant within seconds of doing so "What's a Cheyarafim doing here?!"
"What's a Cheyarafim?" Warren questioned taking a step back but not able to break eye contact with Azazel, something in him wanting to kill the Demon Lord as he chuckled dryly "sorry, but you've got it all wrong"
"That may be..." Azazel said glancing back at Rogue "but stay away from my daughter" both X-Men were shocked and Angel looked at Rogue, his humor evaporating "this thing's your father?"
Azazel, taking slight insult to being referred to as a 'thing' growls "hey!" as he scowled "I'll kill you if you even think of touching her...begone now" he flicks Angel on the forehead, sending him in the opposite direction at the speed of a bullet before smiling very sweetly at Rogue as he teleported away, leaving her both shocked and confused as she muttered "...father?"
Angel managed to stop himself from being splattered on the wall by flapping his wings for a moment then stopping on his hands and feet "Why is everyone attacking me...first that mangy ass Sabertooth now some guy that looks like a red Kurt...at least I know I'm healed enough to fly again" he removed the bandages from his wing, flexing it.
Elsewhere, X-23 had come upon a seemingly abandoned facility, in the snowy wilderness of Canada, not far from where Logan had actually grown up, but neither of them knew that.
"What are they up to?" Laura said to herself, following the prints of a man she didn't know worked with but not for Michael Darkstone.
She saw a facility nearby, where upon closer investigation, she saw men throwing dead bodies out into the frigid wilderness...unaware or uncaring that it would attract many vicious predators.
Somewhere nearby, a man stood in the trees watching X-23, he was the one she thought she was following when he made fake prints to have her going in circles. He went by many names but the one he preferred was Cain, Jason 'X' Cain as his light bronze eyes stared at X-23 in curiosity "I wonder...if I should hand her over to Darkstone...or keep her for myself" he was perfect where he was as the wind would carry his scent in the opposite direction of X-23.
He was the most sadistic person Michael had ever had the chance to cross paths with (other than himself) as they had similar pasts, he'd killed many of his wives just for trying to get involved in his...line of work, but it also turned him off from women his age on a whole.
He wasn't gay, but he was rather...very picky as he liked deadlier women regardless of age and X-23 was quite a rare beauty to him.
"What's this?" He said in a deep, deadly tone as Laura decided to sneak into the facility, he could trip the alarms himself right now but he was curious what she wanted as he followed her, his bronze eyes following his prey with ease until she went around a corner, he decided to follow but stopped.
He smiled, she was aware that he was following her as she swung a kick at his face, missing by just a few inches as she snarled pointing at the facility "What's going on inside that facility?!"
Jason passed his hand through his naturally white mohawk and long ponytail behind him reaching his calves as he said with a chuckle "I'm afraid that's none of your concern, little girl...how about we continue this little dance, hm?" He used brute strength to punch the ground before her feet, but when the snow cleared, she was gone.
Using the trees to her advantage, she got ready to counterattack but he just stood there with his eyes closed and mind in premeditation as she thought 'Now, I attack' she jumped and would have taken the man's head off with the claws on her feet, if not for the last second where he ducked and spun around, his palm thrusting at her stomach at high speed but something invisible hitting her hard and pushing her into a tree.
"W-what are you...a mutant with telekinesis?" Kinney breathed hard through her mouth knowing he did not even actually touch her as Jason laughed almost on the brink of tears before the snow starting levitating in a spiral around him as he walked over to her slowly "That's rich...I can control the wind itself, girl" he raised his palm, the air spiraling around with a small amount of snow as he turned a sinister stare to her.
He extended his hand to pull her to her feet "come now...I like this game, cutie"
He pulled her to her feet "run and I'll give ya a headstart" but she was frozen against a tree, Jason's eyes widened "I SAID RUN!" He thrusts his arm as X-23 took off to see the tree she was leaning against reduced to toothpicks.
Oddly, she doesn't know if Jason is still after her as he suddenly became almost untraceable to her, as if he'd never exist. She was cautious with reason.
She went to the Airport, via motorcycle.
She heard a sound and looked behind her but saw nothing. Jason was hiding in the snow trail her bike made, she had another thing coming if she thought he'd given up.
She made it to the Airport, just in time to buy a ticket and board the plane home. Once onboard, she sighed...but Jason was the one she sat beside.
He chuckled, nearly giving her a heart attack "I admit...sweetheart, I like you" he put his arm around her shoulder "but if you wish to get away from me...you'd still have to do much better than that"
Laura punched him in the gut, a gust filled the cabin. He smiled viciously "Cute and a fighter...I like deadly combinations like that."
"I'll show you a deadly combination..." Laura scowled as she kept on the side of her seat furthest from him "just wait until we leave this plane."
Back with the X-Men...Logan had a plan, he didn't know if Azazel would like it but he surely hated it very much, he also needs Victor and Angel (much to Azazel's disgust) along with the others as back up.
"Michael...I think I know what he wants and only I can give it to him" Logan said as Beast asked "Oh really and what is that, Logan?"
Logan scowled and gulped "He wants 'us', Hank...as in Sabretooth and I are what he truly wants, preferably alive"
"Logan, you're not thinking what I think you're think, are you?" Amara asked "I mean I miss Fuzzy Kurt like anyone, but that's insane...how do we get Peter back without you" Azazel looked at her at the sound of her nickname for Kurt, raising a brow but saying nothing.
"He won't need Peter or Kurt if I handed myself over in his and the others' place...hopefully" Logan said, his doubt showing in his voice.
Hank then turned to Azazel "um, Azazel...if you are the father of both Kurt and Rogue, how come Rogue doesn't look like you but he does?"
"Simple...Kurt is 95 percent demon and only 5 percent human" Azazel looked at Rogue "while this one is the other way around...90 percent human and the remaining 10 percent a demon."
The X-Men gasped at that bit of information as Beast said "wow, I have blood samples of everyone in this mansion...Kurt and Rogue included, but have never come across this, but if you yourself are a full blooded demon, I can compare their sample with maybe a sample of yours?"
"Sure...why not" Azazel smiled darkly as he countered "I'll know who to kill first if I find any weapons in this place powered by my own or Kurt's blood then?"
"No...I'm a genius but I'm not that smart" Hank gulped "...or stupid"
Logan mouthed 'wow' as Azazel continued "I plan to have them inherit my status as a Demon Lord eventually and will watch their lives here...especially around that Avian, 'Angel' or whatever you call him"
"What's your problem with Warren?" Jean asks as his reply was simply "...guess"
"A demon lord with a sense of humor..." Ray shuddered "at least we know Kurt's sense of humor didn't come from Mystique. Could you imagine that?"
"Should we start treating him like royalty now?" Angel asks with a scowl as Azazel stared at him as calm as humanly possible "if you value you lives...I'd suggest you do"
Back with Michael, he was trying everything possible to drive Victor over the edge...get him angry, but nothing seemed to work, finally he chose to electrocute him without killing him.
Little did he know, Victor has shut himself off from all his emotions, including the one he was well known for, his rage and short temper. A skill he'd learned in his younger days when his old man tried to kill him after learning he was a mutant...something he and Michael can both relate to.
"Come now, Creed" Michael was growing uneasy and impatient with his usually more vocal captive "show me that rage" his voice morphed into Logan as Victor looked up to see Logan looking down on him with pity, holding the taser rod Michael was hurting him with.
Suddenly, he struck the nerve he was looking for as Sabertooth growled, having tried and failed to suppress his rage until now...part of him wanting to believe that Logan was responsible for his entire current situation as rage blurred his thoughts and he snapped his restraints easily...nearly taking one of Michael's legs with it if he hadn't jumped back.
"Down, boy" Michael sneered at Victor's vulnerable state "behave! ...good" he reached out petting the feral, who was too afraid by the constant sight of his long dead father.
Elsewhere in the facility, Peter was scarred but conscious in a cell when Michael's sadistic lackey came and threw in the unconscious Kurt, who looked nearly unrecognizable as the poor elf was being badly beaten by the cruel man. Piotr broke down at the sight of his friend...unable to help it.
"Don't worry...he's alive" the man said "the boss would make sure I joined him if I'd killed him but he'll learn never to sleep around us the easy or the hard way."
"Give...it...back" Piotr snarled, seeing Kurt's Image Inducer on the man's wrist as he smirked "finder keepers...losers weepers"
He put his wrist past the bar, showing off his new trinket "want it so badly, why not try taking it and see what the boss would do to us both?" Peter flinched as the man smirked "...I didn't think so."
"Stop bothering my pet!" Michael snapped in another room, aware of what the lackey was up to as he walked away, waving at the anguished Peter.
The lackey immediately went to a mirror to test out his new toy "now, I swore I saw him press this button" he pressed the one on the top left as he turned into Rogue "nice..." then Kurt "...even better!" he had Kurt's voice and everything
'This is my chance to get that Rogue girl to trust me...' He thought as he returned to his normal form 'that is, until it's too late.'
Michael heard a proximity alert...as far above the facility...very far, the cloaked Blackbird flew above.
The hanger door was opened and Logan was thrown out, beaten badly by Beast and Azazel.
Michael was surprised by what he saw, Logan really got his ass handed to him (more by Azazel than Beast but he wasn't aware)
Suddenly, Michael fell out of his seat curling in pain from an unseen terror...he screamed, feeling like he was being burned from the inside out as the demons inside him sensed the presence of their master.
His lackey came in, unintentionally in the form of Nightcrawler, and pulled him back to his seat on the chair.
Michael, terrified and furious, unleashes his shadows "you've got...some nerve laying hands on me!" his shadows turned into spiked tendrils and the lackey deactivated the image inducer at the last second screaming "wait!" as a stray shadow slashed his cheek as he shook looking at his close brush with the kiss of death.
Michael just sat there, staring at him still very terrified but wondering why the hell the demon was here and how he was found in the first place "bring me...Wolverine or you'll regret it and how did you change like that anyway?"
He raised his wrist "I took this thing from the blue kid...cool, huh?"
Outside, Logan found his fall stopped by a small tornado as Jason Cain brought him down to the ground, having lost X-23 somehow "Huh...looks like you got the shit beat out o' you before falling out of heaven" he said to himself, nudging the motionless Logan with his foot.
"Hey, you" Michael's lackey said coming his way, earning a glare from Jason "who do you think you're talking to 'hey, you' and where's Darkstone?" He kicked Logan away from him in disgust.
The lackey stared at Jason "What crawled up your ass all of a sudden?" He said, finding Logan hard to lift a bit for a small guy "follow me, jackass"
Jason followed "This is your last warning to watch your language when you talk to me" he tapped the man's back, pushing him forward a bit "I'm in a very nasty mood as it is."
Sabretooth stood beside Michael, still wearing the shackles he broke when he went feral but was motionless as Jason came into the room.
"What brings you back to me, Jason?" Michael said before turning to look at the man "I thought I said I'd kill you if you ever came back to me with any offers for my pets."
Jason cracked his neck "who needs such...unappetizing things when I've found much better prey?" Victor was ready to lunge at him just then but Michael stopped him
"Easy, my pet..." Michael's eyes narrowed "you'll have your chance...and we have our 'runt' too, not to mention"
He glanced at Logan who was silent through all this as he glared at Michael, grimacing slightly as he saw the Image Inducer on the lackey's wrist.
Meanwhile, X-23 was not far from the base and couldn't believe what she just saw...Logan handed himself over to a psychopath and Xavier allowed it.
"Wait, isn't that...?" Laura muttered as she saw the Blackbird come out of its cloak momentarily before throwing Logan out from an incredible height that even he can't survive "what the hell?!"
She saw some wind pick up before he hit the ground, she hoped it was Storm though couldn't pick up any other scent and the older feral who she was the clone of. She ran ahead, there she saw that Jason X again.
She was sure no one knew she was there until he looked back at her with a smirk and gesturing for her to follow them but remain hidden as something about Michael creeps her out almost as much as Jason 'X' Cain.
Back with the X-Men, they were still in the Blackbird, awaiting Logan's signal...there they began to see a change in Angel around Azazel.
"Cheyarafim scum, how dare you touch my daughter?!" Azazel was beginning to get really pissed off as Angel kept his arm around a still very confused Rogue on purpose replying "she isn't your property"
"You really wish to suffer the wrath of a Neyaphem, don't you?" Azazel said glaring at Angel with his grey on black eyes as Angel could feel the Archangel within him fighting to get out...part of wanting to let Archangel out.
Beast looked on in curiosity, as he had to hit the books to learn more of these beings Azazel spoke of "Cheyarafim...Neyaphem?" He looked at Rogue who said "don't look at me, I'm as confused about what he's talking about as you are right now"
Back with Logan, he'd fallen unconscious but woke up to the sight of Sabertooth glaring at him in absolute disdain, hatred and disgust.
Logan woke up to find himself chained to a wall and shirtless, as if on display.
"Welcome home..." Michael said as he and Jason walked in and a more docile than usual (given the situation) Sabertooth came to his side "...my Wolverine."
"How clear do I have to make it fer ya, bub?" Logan seemed too relaxed before looking at Victor "you don't own me...or him"
"Yet..." Michael added "I don't own you yet, I'll not have you thinking that you can have your way"
"Your young demon friend...he's alive, by the way" Michael added as Jason grew impatient "I want me that X-23 girl, Michael...what's taking you so long to lure her here?"
Suddenly, the killers intent in the air rose and Logan just couldn't take it that this pedophile dared to touch his daughter/clone, breaking his somewhat short silence "don't you dare...touch X-23" Logan's piercing blue eyes met Jason's cryptic bronze eyes as the man scowled, showing no fear to Wolverine "and what're you gonna do about it...all tied up here?" He got closer toying with Logan.
"Tell me, Logan" Michael cut in "the deaths of those teens...my teens, did you enjoy it as much as I did?"
Suddenly the killing intent in the air tripled in a second, Logan was still more bothered by those deaths than he let himself believe as tears formed in his eyes
"What?!" Logan was shaking like a leaf "yer the one...the one responsible for those poor teens..." He was disgusted by the very sight and sickening scent of the two men.
Logan had never been enraged to this point before...that he'd be willing to kill just about anyone who got in the way of his vengeance against these two. He refused to speak anymore as the men left him alone with Creed who was silent to the point that Logan almost forgot he was there.
Logan was horrified by the condition he was in, knowing he would've been captured before if Victor hadn't sacrificed himself in his place as the two were silent.
Logan's stare went to Victor's still shackled wrists then his eyes, both men were in pain, obviously in more ways than one.
Back with the X-Men, Azazel was growing very annoyed...if he doesn't see his son soon, some serious blood will be spilled as he learned what happened.
Azazel was much less than calm, his tail swishing like a whip as Scott began staring at him for some reason "We should be more calm about this..." Scott said "if anyone can do this, Logan can, right?" His stare was fixed on Azazel, he didn't want to turn a blind eye to him and wanted to know where the demon was at all time when in his presence.
"Overconfidence can be your undoing...pest" Azazel closed his eyes to focus a moment, seeing Logan and the mindlessly furious Sabretooth as Michael's captives and Piotr and Kurt having been badly beaten.
"Michael...he hurt my son" Azazel said without emotion, despite the very slight crack in his voice, as the X-Men gasp and Rogue looked suspicious of her 'father' "wait, how do you know that Michael creep?"
Azazel was silent as she went on, pounding her fist on the seat close to his arm, he didn't flinch as he looked at her fist then her "I was his captive before Kurt...he's a monster."
Azazel was angry now, choking his daughter by the neck as he stood "being my daughter, you've inherited my tremendously short temper but I'd strongly advise you to NEVER speak to me like that unless you want to live a very short existence"
He slammed her back in her seat as Beast said "I'd suggest you stay here, Azazel...Logan might have the right idea as Michael seems more interested in him and Victor than any of us, though I take it he doesn't know Kurt is your son."
"Fine..." Azazel took his seat and opened his palm, a clock appearing on his skin called a demon clock "when the time reaches zero, they'd either be out of there or I'll be going in"
Rogue was ignoring him completely, he would pay if Logan or Victor, one of two people who had been a father to her at some point in her life, died in there as he looked at her, his anger gone for now.
At the Brotherhood's base, Juggernaut and the Acolytes have been called to see Magneto, who has yet to make an appearance as Gambit had a piece of his mind for him concerning his belle, Rogue (who he doesn't know yet was rescued by the X-Men already) and Sabretooth's failure of appear despite the two always arguing.
Magneto finally entered the room, expecting to get this over with fast as it were the Acolytes who called this meeting and not him, he wondered where they got the nerve to do that though.
"Hey, Magneto" Juggernaut was the first to speak up as he took a quick glance around for the usual brooding figure of a certain feral "Where is Creed?" He said in a low tone, they all knew what happens when Cain Marko got angered even a little and hoped this was not the case.
Magneto growled glancing around as well "that is what I'd like to know" as Toad added "and didn't we capture some of the X-Men, where'd they go?"
Gambit rolled his eyes at the comment and smacked Toad in the back of his head "...idiot, Mags hired someone to take care of 'em, weren't you payin' any damn attention?"
"I know that, but I don't think Vic liked it very much" Toad shot back as he flicked his tongue out, but Remy ducked as Wanda deflected it as it stuck to the face of a very annoyed and helmet less Cain Marko, who glared at him, he pulled it and made Toad bounce off his fist "keep that disgusting thing in you mouth before I rip it out..."
Then he glared at Magneto "and don't even TRY to blame this all on Xavier, Magneto...I made sure to pass by Xavier's on my way here without my helmet on, so I know everything he knows and he ain't the only one really pissed about it either" he pointed at Magneto accusingly.
"This will take a LOT of explaining" Magneto muttered to himself as Wanda rolled her eyes and shook her head "what a bunch of idiots..."
A/N - Well that it for this chapter, but what is Azazel going to do now that he's aware of Michael...more importantly, how long is he going to wait before either killing Michael or Angel, will Logan be able to rescue Peter, Kurt and Creed or are their fates sealed? You never know until the the next chapter! R&R!
