Betrayal
Choice and Decision
Chapter 4
Note: Hello!
Sorry if it's been a while, but hey, a girl's gotta work on her other stories 2 u know?
Anyway, if u don't already know this, Courtney's Professor Xavier's granddaughter, but she's in Magneto's Base and doesn't know that she's a mutant yet.
Don't worry though, I'll get to all of that eventually, but I suppose you want that 2 come up pretty soon huh?
Well I suppose I can do that, but why ruin the surprise?
But then again...
Maybe I'll throw in a little something just to keep everybody hanging onto their seats.
Course if I were 2 do that, then I gotta give the audience something that will do just that.
I'll see what I can do, but I can''t make any promises.
However, I will throw in an extra surprise.
U know how Courtney's been having nightmares, and hearing this dark voice talking 2 her?
If not, then u gotta read the 3rd chapter.
But...
I'm gonna tell u who it was that was doing that 2 her.
Here's a hint.
It's someone Courtney knows, and he wants revenge on her 4 breaking his heart.
Any ideas?
I checked and noticed that a Miss SweetElizabeth got the answer right, but if anyone else has an idea, then feel free 2 review please.
And now without any further delay...
On2 the story!
TA-DA!
(Geoff's House)
The day was almost over, but Duncan had never left the house to come back outside.
His friends were atarting to worry because ever since the police questioned him about Courtney, he had been in a crabby mood and stormed right into the house.
Something was up, but nobody really knew what.
It had been about 6 hours since that moment, but nobody bothered to check up on Duncan.
They figured that he just needed sometime alone, but 6 hours was probably long enough.
"Dude, I think somebody should go into my house and get Duncan out here?" Suggested Geoff to his friends.
He was a little bit worried about Duncan, but also worried about what he was doing in his house right now.
"Well...is somebody going to go inside or what?" Geoff asked the gang.
"Um...maybe it would be best to just wait until Duncan's comfotable to come outside?" Suggested Harold.
"Aw now baby I know Duncan can sometimes be a bully, but its only because he doesn't want anyone thinking that he's a softy. And we're his friends so we gotta go in there and see what's the problem with him." Leshawna told him.
"Leshawna's right. Duncan's our friend, and if something's bothering him then we gotta go in there and help him though it." Said Bridgette.
"Yeah, but whose gonna go in there and do it?" Asked Heather.
Nobody replied to that question, but they knew that one of them was gonna have to do it.
"Ugh! Alright if nobody's gonna go in there, then I'll pick who goes in." Said Heather looking at the available choices.
She looked very carefully at who she should pick, but there weren't many choices.
"Alright, well this is pointless. Would somebody just go in there already?" Asked Heather who got annoyed after only 2 minutes of trying to pick someone.
"I'll go! Its better then hearing you complain Heather." Said Leshawna who started walking to the house.
"Well at least I was trying to do something." Grumbled Heather with her arms crossed.
"Ah mi amora, somethings happen for a reason." Alejandro told her after wrapping his loving arms around her waist.
Once Leshawna got into the house, she searched the area for Duncan.
She searched in every room from top to bottom, but there was no sign of Duncan anywhere.
"Ugh! Where is that boy? I've searched all over this big o' house and there's no sign of Duncan anywhere." Leshawna said to herself before sitting on the couch in the living room.
'Phew! Boy this girl here is gonna have to work out some more with Eva at the gym. Where in the world can that boy be? If he ain't in the house then he must be some where else, but the wuestion is where? Where could he be?"
Just then, there was a crashing sound.
Leshawna turned her head around and looked over the couch.
"What the hell was that?" She asked nobody in particular.
Then another crashing sound was made.
Wondering what that was, she went to see what that noise was.
Listen very carefully to the noise, Leshawna followed it too Geoff's bedroom.
The door was opened when she got there, but that didn't stop her from peeking in through the door.
Inside, Leshawna saw Duncan breaking things by throwing them against the wall.
Most of the stuff that he threw, were pictures of what looked like the cast from back during the first season of the Total Drama series.
Pictures of everyone at the camp site laughing and smiling and enjoying themselves.
However, she did notice a few pictures in particular that caught her eyes.
The pictures that Duncan had thrown at the wall, all had a picture of Courtney in it.
"Oh boy! Looks like somebody's still upset about their ex-girlfriend." Leshawna thought to herself.
"I better step in and stop that boy before he gets himself hurt, or in serious trouble."
So Leshawna hurried into the room and ran up too Duncan.
"Duncan! Duncan! Stop it! Duncan baby, just stop it!" She cried as she ran up to him and stopped him from throwing another picture.
"Back off Leshawna! I'm not in the mood right now!" He told her and tried to fight her off Leshawna's hold of him.
But she held a strong grip on him, and wasn't gonna let him go.
The two of them fought against each other for a while until Leshawna had thrown Duncan onto the bed, and then held him down on it.
"Alright! What the hell is wrong is wrong with you?" Leshawna asked Duncan while holding his arms tight.
"Why do you care? Why don't you just mind your own business?" He asked her while trying to break free.
Now this made Leshawna really angry and so she slapped Duncan across the face so hard, that a red mark began to show.
"Boy you better watch what you say! Now quit your back talk and just listen to me!" She told him before pulling him up and then slaming him against the wall.
"Alright Duncan, start talking." Leshawna demanded.
Duncan just turned his head and tried to ignore her.
However, Leshawna was not gonna take this, and slapped that white boy once again.
This time Duncan looked at Leshawna with two slapped cheeks and a swollen eye.
He saw the angry look on her face, but didn't show any fear.
"Duncan you have better start talking before I break you!" Cried Leshawna.
"Ugh...Alright! Alright!" He cried.
So then Leshawna let go of Duncan's shoulders, but keeps a close eye on him.
"Alright now, start talking Duncan. What's your problem?"
"Fine! Look it happened when I was talking to those cops." Started Duncan.
~Flashback~
"Hey look, I don't know anything about Courtney's disappearance alright?" Duncan told the Police Officer.
Him, and two other cops were in this small room with nothing but a table, ttwo chairs, and a door.
The police were questioning him on the disappearance of Courtney.
"You were the last person she talked to Duncan; and may I remind you that I know who your folks are so I can contact them right now if you don't corroperate." The Officer told him.
"Hey look I could care less about what my folks do to me." He replied.
"All I care about is how long this is gonna take cause I do have a life."
Then the Officer took a seat in the chair across from Duncan.
"Listen Duncan, I've worked with guys like you and I know what their like. You however, are a different story. You hide you emotions by being a bully, and acting all tough. You feel as though if you act ll tough, then people will give you either respect or show you fear. Based on how you behave is how people treat you." The Officer explained to him.
"So...What are you some kind of shrink or something?" Asked Duncan laughing a bit.
The one Officer that sat across from him was calm, but the other Officer that stood against the wall was getting annoyed.
"Ugh! Why are we even here Jim? Clearly this maggot's guilty!" Said the Officer leaning against the wall.
"Kevin please! We don't have any evidence that proves that he's guilty!" Officer Jim told him.
"For all we know, the real kidnapper could still be out there? I'm not gonna arrest him without any further evidence or proof that he was there that evening. That's why I asked Chuck to go and get the video footage from the hotel the night Courtney was kidnapped."
"Fine, but I'm not trusting this punk." Kevin told Jim.
"Do what you like Kev, but I think Duncan's innocent this time." Said Jim turning back to Duncan.
"Now look Duncan, where were you last night in the hours of 12-3 AM?" Jim asked him.
"I was at my house. Asleep. End of discussion." Replied Duncan.
"Okay, but do you have anyone who can prove that punk?" Asked Kevin.
"Kevin please? Give him the chance to explain." Jim told him.
"Alright Duncan, but did you go anywhere else during that period?"
"Uh no. I was at my house for the entire night, and I didn't leave until 11 AM the next day to go to my friend Geoff's house." Duncan told him.
"Alright then. So you never left your house until this morning and close to noon?" Asked Jim making sure he understood Duncan's story.
"Yeah, and I'm sticking to that story." Replied Duncan.
"Fair enough, but what did you and Courtney talk about yesterday?" Jim asked him.
"Ah it doesn't matter anyway. Old Courtney was blabbering on about wanting to apologize for everything back during the Total Drama Series." Explained DUncan.
"I see, and did you except her apology?" Questioned Jim.
"Yeah right. As if I would forgive her." Said Duncan who laughed a bit.
"Why is that?" Asked Jim.
"Because, I reckon she was lying to me, so why would I believe her?"
"Interesting, but what makes you say that she was lying?"
"Trust me, I know Courtney enough to know what she's up too."
"Maybe, but how did she sound when talking to you?"
"Dont know. I guess she sounded upset, but she could have been faking the whole thing?"
"Do you know for sure if she was faking?"
"Well...um...Well she...She's just a...I dont need to..."
But he had nothing to say back in responce.
Jim just nodded his head and then looked at the look on Duncan's face.
"You never did give her a chance to explain herself did you Duncan?" Jim asked him.
Although Duncan didn't say anything, or wanted to admit it, Officer Jim was right.
"What do you want me to tell you? That you're right and that I never bothered to listen to Courtney!"
"I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that you should think to yourself for a moment and wonder. Was Courtney really trying to trick you, or did you just shut her off before she could say anything else to you? Did she mean to hurt you, or did she want to apologize? Ask yourself that, because I know that deep down, you're still in love with her. You were just afraid to admit it, because you don't wanna back down. You don't want anyone to know that there's a soft guy inside of you. Even though you want her back, you won't accept her. So who''s really the one getting hurt here Duncan? You, or Courtney?" Officer Jim explained to him.
~Flashback~
"After that, I didn't know how to react. So I just hid my emotions with anger and took it out on you guys. I didn't mean to, but I didn't wanna talk or let you guys know that I got soften up by a cop who acted like a therapist. Yet some part of me is saying that he's right, and I feel like Courtney's disappearence is all my fault. I didnt mean for her to go missing. I just...I just didn't want her finding out that I still have feelings for her, or that I miss her every singel day." Duncan told Leshawna after finishing his story.
Once finished, Leshawna's eyes soften up, and she began to smile a bit.
She wasn''t mad at Duncan anymore, but rather kind of...happy.
Because she knew that after everything Duncan told her, he meant every word he said.
"Well...Aren't you gonna say anything? Make fun of me? Laugh at me? Point out how I went all soft? Well?" Duncan asked Leshawna assuming she was going to make fun of him.
But Leshawna just shook her head and gently placed her hand on Duncan's shoulder.
"Duncan you may be all tough and mean on the outside, but you're a kind and sensitive soul on the inside." She said to him.
"What you told me makes me realized that you're not so bad a guy after all. You really do care about Courtney, and you miss her like crazy. Sure you won't admit it, but you still love her, and there's nothing to be ashamed about with/when missing someone."
"Yeah, try telling that to my consience here." Said Duncan.
"Hey now don't you be giving me that kind of attitude! Alright, Im trying to be nice here, but you just keep shoving my help away." Said Leshawna who started to get angry at/with Duncan.
"Hey look I didn't ask you to be nice to me alright! I never wanted you to be nice to me, and I don't need your help!" Barked Duncan at Leshawna.
"Alright that's it!" She cried moving her hand off of his shoulder and then giving his a good slap across the face.
Which sent Duncan flying onto the floor in pain from the slap.
While holding his face, he looked up at Leshawna who had flames of fire in her eyes.
She was seriously furious at/with Duncan at the moment that she looked as though she were ready to kill him, but then something happened.
Just as Leshawna grabbed a hold of Duncans shirt and hoisted him up too his feet, the ground started to shake.
"Whoa! What the?" Cried Leshawna who released Duncan as the pair and everything in the entire house began to shake.
"WHOA!" The two cried at the same time.
"Whats going on?" Cried Leshawna who was getting scared.
"I don't know, but we better get out of here! Come on!" Duncan replied as he grabbed Leshawna's hand, and the two ran out of the house as fast as they could.
Dodging objects and items; moving left and right; ducking for cover; getting next to the wall; and even jumping a few times over things. But once outside, the trouble only began. Cause outside, it was far more worse then in the house. Everybody and everything was shaking and moving like crazy. Quickly Duncan and Leshawna ran up to the others who were trying to hold onto something.
"Duncan! Leshawna! Something's going down!" Geoff told them while holding Bridgette tightly close to him.
"No shit! What happened?" Cried Duncan.
"We don't know! We were all just waiting for you and Leshawna, when the ground just started to shake!" Trent told him while holding onto Gwen.
"It doesn't make any sence! How is an earthquake occuring up here in Canada? There are mountains for pete sake so there houldn't be a freaking earthquake!" Cried a confussed Noah holding onto the pool ladder.
Well Noah did have a point there, and it didnt make much sence that an earthquake would be occuring right now.
But nobody was really thinking about that because they were all trying to save their skins.
Except for Izzy who was bouncing up and down in a tube in the pool.
"AH! I'M TO YOUNG TO DIE!" Screamed a terriffing Owen.
"MAMA!" Screamed DJ in terror.
"We gotta get out of here!" Cried Trent.
"Quick! Everybody try to head for the basement! Its our only chance!" Crid Geoff pointing to the basement door that wasn't to far from where they all were.
So carefully, and one-by-one, everybody began to make a break for the basement. First to go was Owen who simply ran off for the basement door, opened it up, and then fell down the stairs and inside. Next was Geoff and Bridgette who ran together as fast as they could. Followed by Trent and Gwen who did the exact same thing as them. Then came Alejandro who ran while carrying Heather who was holding onto his for her dear life. Harold, Tyler, and Lindsey made a break for it and almost fell a couple of times. Eva had no trouble getting to the basement, but she carried Noah and Ezekiel over her shoulders and got them all inside. Katie and Sadie ran together in terror into the basement with DJ not far behind them. Beth did a couple of jumps and dodges over and from obstucles, and almost broke her glasses on the way. Justin just ran while screaming straight through all of the distruction, and to the basement. Izzy jumped off of the tube, into the air, and landed on the ground. Then she did jumps and spins into the basement without a scratch on her.
Which only left Duncan, Leshawna, Cody, and Sierra to get to the basement.
"Guys! Hurry!" Cried Harold from the basement door opening.
"Move it before the earthquake get's worse you idiots!" Noah cried out as he popped up next to Harold.
"WORSE? OH NO!" Cried Owen from down in the basement.
"Oh boy." Said Noah who rolled his eyes.
"Come on! Everybody move it!" Duncan cried out grabbing Leshawna's hand and dragging her off through the yard.
Cody and Sierra noticed this, and decided to do the same thing.
Except, Sierra picked up Cody and ran straight for the basement door.
Both pairs ran as fast as they could too the basement door, but then this happened.
"Oh my god! Look!" Sierra cried out pointing to the rooftop.
Cody, Duncan, Leshawna, and everybody else from down in the basement looked up and saw five dark figures.
"Who or what are they?" Asked Cody.
"They look like people, but dane! How did they get on the roof?" Questioned Leshawna.
And then at that moment, the five figures dropped down from the roof and landed onto the ground. Right in front of the basement door. Blocking Duncan, Leshawna, Cody, and Sierra's way, but then, the ground stopped shaking, and everything went still.
"What the? What just happened? There ain't no way an earthquake can go off so fast like that!" Leshawna complained.
"It can if I control it." Said a voice coming from a tall boy with brown hair wearing a helmet over his head and some sort of uniform.
"And just who the hell are you guys suppose to be? A group of circus freaks?" Asked Duncan laughing a bit from what he said.
"Uh Duncan, I don't think you should mess with these guys." Said Cody pointing that out.
He was mostly scared of the big round guy who was even bigger and rounder than Owen himself.
"Who are you guys, and what do you want?" Cody asked them.
Another boy with white spiked hair wearing a blue and white outfit turned to Cody and Sierra.
"We're the Brotherhood." Was his only reply.
"The Brotherhood! Oaf!" Said Harold in shock before hitting his head on the door.
"Hey dweeb! You know who these guys are?" Duncan asked Harold.
As soon as Harold finished rubbing his head, he looked at Duncan and told him what he knew.
But...
He didnt get the chance because the big guy grabbed Harold and hoisted him up into the air.
"Hey look what I got. A skinny stick person." Joked the big guy now laughing at his joke.
"Hey! That skinny stick person happens to be my boyfriend!" Leshawna cried out in anger to him.
"Now you better put him down, or I'm gonna make you!"
"Oh yeah? I like too see you try." He told her.
"Oh its on now!" She said and got ready to charge at him.
However, Duncan tried holding her back, and when he couldn't, Sierra and Cody ran over and held her back.
"Leshawna don't! It's not worth it!" Sierra told her.
"Then somebody tell big boy over here to drop Harold before I kick his ass!" Leshawna cried.
"Ugh! Blob, put the nerd down before you get that girl pissed off some more." Said a girl wearing an entire outfit that was the color red with short back hair.
"Aw...where's the fun in doing that?" The boy named Blob complained.
"Just do it!" She ordered.
"Fine." He said and put Harold down.
Then he ran up to Leshawna who embrased Harold in her loving arms.
"Aw baby are you okay?" She asked him.
"Yeah, I'm alright." He replied.
"Oh great, talk about drama much." Said Duncan rolling his eyes.
"Oh now don't you even go there again!" Cried Leshawna now looking at Duncan after hugging Harold.
"Oh boy." said Cody rolling his eyes.
"I hear you man." Said a boy who smelled really bad and was sitting like a frog/toad would.
"Uh...okay then." Said Cody a little freaked out by the guy.
While Leshawna and Duncan started to fight, Sierra jumped in and stopped everything.
"EVERYBODY STOP!" She shouted getting Duncan and Leshawna to shut up and get everybody too look at her.
"Both of you stop arguing and focus! We've got mutants in the house!"
"Mutants?" Everybody but the Brotherhood said at the same time.
"That's just what I was gonna say!" Said Harold pointing that out to Sierra.
"Wait a minute. How the hell are these guys mutants?" Duncan asked them.
"Trust us Duncan. Me, Cody, and Harold saw these guys on fighting against these giant robots with these other mutants called the X-Men. However, according to my research, the X-Men are the good guys while the Brotherhood is nothing but a bunch of bullies. They can't be trusted and they'll decieve anyone." Sierra explained.
"Girl how do you know all of this?" Asked Leshawna.
"Oh I learned from TV and my penpal." Sierra responded.
"Your penpal Sierra?" Said an unassured Cody.
"Oops! My bad. I forgot to tell you sweetie. I got a penpal and we've been talking for about a month now, and she's told me everything from her being a mutant, her friends, and these guys." Sierra pointed out.
"So...Just who is this chick?" Duncan asked.
"Oh, her name's Kitty." Sierra replied.
"Kitty? Wait a minute. Kitty? As in a short girl with brown hair, brown eyes, and has a cute laugh?" Questioned the boy wearing the helmet.
"Yes. That's right." Said Sierra.
"Huh? How does this guys knows your about your penpal Sierra?" Questioned Cody.
"Oh, that's because this is Kitty's ex-boyfriend Lance." Sierra replied.
"What?" Everybody but the Brotherhood shouted.
"Hang on a second. How do you know about Kitty and I?" Lance asked her.
"Oh, well...I met Kitty online and we started to talk. You know? Get too know each other; our hobbies; favorite sports; who we like; what school we go too; and a bunch of other things. After a while, we started to talk about our personal lives and how I was on TV, and how she was a mutant. At first I didn't believe her, but then she showed me a video, and we met at the mall and she showed me. It was unbelieveable! Her power's are so cool! Then I met her friends and they showed me their powers. And then I made a promise to not tell anyone and they trusted me enough, but I asked if I could tell Cody, and then Scott said only if you trust him enough. However, I wasn't really sure if I should tell him or not, but now that I told my entire story. Everybody knows!" Sierra explained to everybody.
"Whoa." Said Duncan in shock.
"No shit." Said Heather.
"Alright! Alright! Enough with the conversation already!" Said the boy with silver hair.
"Could we get on with this? We've got a time schedule to keep up with here people."
"Oh please. What could you possibly have that's more important then this?" Duncan asked them.
"That's for us to know and you to find out." The silver haired boy told him.
"Well why don't you tell us now? Or are you just chicken?" Duncan told him.
Then he started to make chicken noises and mock the silver haired boy.
"Um Duncan? I-I don't think you should be doing that." Cody told him as he started to shake.
But Duncan didn't listen and he just kept on doing it.
"Uh Duncan? I don't think he likes that." Said Harold pointing out the angry look on the silver haired boys face.
Still Duncan didn't listen and continued to mock him.
The silver haired boy was starting to get really P.O., and when he couldn't take it anymore...
He ran with super speed at Duncan, grabbed him, and threw him into the pool.
Creating a big splash noise as Duncan hit the water.
"Don't say I didn't warn you!" Harold cried out.
Then the silver haired boy ran back to his original spot, and starred at Sierra; Cody; Harold; and Leshawna.
"Alright, since the purple haired freak knows about us thanks to Lance's girlfriend and the X-Freaks, I don't think we need any introductions on who we are huh?" The silver haired boy stated.
"Hey! Don't call her a purple haired freak! Beside's, look who's talking snowball!" Cody pointed out to him which recieved a couple of chuckles from the rest of the Brotherhood and from some of the Total Drama Cast.
"Shut up you! Who are you too call me snowball huh?" He cried out.
"Gee, excuse me for making a joke." Said Cody.
"Hey Sierra, who are these guys again?"
"Oh, well they're the Brotherhood. The one you called snowball is Pietro, or Quicksilver as his codename. The big strong guy with the mohawk's Bob, or Blob. Then there's Lance who's known as Avalanch. Then we've got Wanda or the Scarlet Witch, and she's Pietro's sister. And last but not least, the smelly guy's Todd, but mostly goes by Toad." Explained Sierra.
"Hey! I don't smell that bad!" Toad complained and sniffed his armpits.
"Ew. Then again..."
And then at that moment, Duncan had gotten himself out of the pool, and was walking over to the groups all wet and angry.
"Alright look you freaks! I dont care who you are, or what kind of powers you have! All I wanna know is why you're here, and how am I gonna disfigure that face of yours pal?" Duncan told the Brotherhood while pointing fingers at Pietro's face.
But Pietro grabbed Duncan's wrist and then twisted it.
Duncan winced in pain and began to gall onto his knees due to the suffering of Pietro twisting his wrist.
"Ugh! Idiot! He never listens to me!" Cried Harold in anger.
"Easy baby. Just take it easy." Leshawna told him while comfronting him.
After calming Harold down, Pietro had finally let go of Duncan's wrist.
"Ouch. Dame it. Ugh." Duncan said to himself as he rubbed his wrist and cursed under his breathe.
"Alright this is enough! Just tell us why you're here and get the hell out!" Leshawna told the Brotherhood in anger cause she had just about had it.
Pietro just stood and starred at Leshawna with his arms crossed together.
Then he just shrugged and decieded to tell Leshawna the reason why they were here.
"Fine. I'll tell you why we're here." Pietro began.
"Here's the thing, my old man wanted us to go and check out this cast from the Total Drama Series. Said something about wanting to know if they were a threat or not. Cause if you were/are, then he's asked us to take care of you. If not, then we'd just leave."
"A threat? A threat?" Came Heather's voice as she got out of the basement and stormed up to Pietro.
"What. The. Hell? How are we a threat? Cause I find that hard too believe that any of us are a threat to your dad!" She told Pietro in anger.
"Ah, chica. Chica." Said Alejandro coming over to her.
"Easy mi amour. No need to get all upset."
"Oh I have every reason to get upset! This...punk's dad, thinks we're a threat! Well I'm gonna show him a true threat!" She told him and was about to attack Pietro if Alejandro hadn't held her back.
He then walks up to the wall while holding Heather in his arms.
"Come on! Let me at him! Let me at him!" She cried out while trying to plunge herself at Pietro.
Then Trent and Gwen come out and stand next to the pair.
"Why were you sent here to see if we were a threat? We never even met you guys, and yet your dad thinks we're a threat?" Gwen asked Pietro.
"Because, my father happens...to have a certian uptight, emotional, brunette of yours with him." Pietro told her with a smirk on his face.
After saying that, Duncan's eyes grew wide open.
He knew who Pietro was talking about, but the question was, was he lying or not?
Maybe it was some sort of trick, but how could he be sure of it?
Unsure, Duncan decided to know for sure, by asking Pietro some questions.
"Hey uh Pietro, is it?" Duncan began.
"Yeah, but I prefered too be called Quicksilver right now." He told Duncan.
"Whatever." Said Duncan.
"Listen, I've gotta ask you something. What else do you know about this uptight, emotional, brunette?" Duncan asked him.
"Hm. If you must know, this brunette's a chick; light tan skin; a couple of frekles on her face; brown eyes; kind of preppy looking; nice slim body; cute smile; nice looking ass; and that's about it." Pietro told him.
After hearing that last thing about Courtney got Duncan angry.
He clutched his hands into fists, and he started to growl like a wolf.
"What did you say? What the hell did you say about Courtney?" He said in a furious tone of voice.
"Courtney? Hey, how did he know her name?" Asked Blob.
"Because you big lard ass! She's my girlfriend!" Duncan screamed at him.
"Girlfriend? I thought she was single?" Questioned Toad.
"She is! I mean, she was! I mean yes! No, She isn't! I mean...ugh! Look why do you care anyway? She's my girlfriend and our friend." Duncan told them.
"Hey, my old man knows these things, but that's none of your business." Pietro told him.
"Besides, since you and your friends aren't much of a threat, I don't see any reason to hang out here."
"So how about you and your buddies get the hell out of here, and piss off? Cause you're really flipping me off man. You're freaking flipping me the hell off!" Duncan told Pietro in anger.
Well Duncan's friends were in shock by his aggressive behavior, but they didn't say anything to him.
Well except that Harold let out a low whistle that was so quiet, that not even a mouse could/would hear it.
"Wow. Now I see it. Now I see why Courtney broke up with you in the first place. Because you're a total ass!" Pietro told him.
"Oh!" Everybody said at the same time.
Duncan's eyes grew wide once again, and then he rubbed his head before responding to Pietro's comment.
"Really now? And uh...what makes you say and/or think that?" Asked Duncan.
"Let's just say that my old man has a friend who knows all about you and Courtney." Was Pietro's only reply.
"Uh huh...And...you think I'm...An ass?" Questioned Duncan.
"Tell me something, did your dad mention how Courtney can sometimes be a...um what's the word? Oh yeah. A tight ass?"
"Oh!" Everybody said at once again.
"Hey she ain't my girlfriend, but if she was, I wouldn't mind a little challenge. I like a little challenge in a girl. It turns me on." Pietro told Duncan who started to clutch his hands into fist again.
"Oh boy." Said Cody.
"He did not, just say that." Said Gwen.
"He's a dead man now." Said Heather.
Pietro who over heard their comments, just chuckled and then looked at Duncan.
"What, you don't like me talking about Courtney like that? Does it bother you when I talk about her that way?" Pietro questioned Duncan in a baby tone of voice.
"Piss off man!" Duncan told him.
"How about you make me?" Pietro told him.
And then at that moment, Duncan threw a punch at Pietro; but Pietro misses thanks to his super speed and ran around behind Duncan.
"Oh...Too slow." Said Pietro.
Duncan quickly turned around, and threw another punch at him, but once again, he missed.
"Come on Duncan! Slap some sence into that boy!" Leshawna cried out.
"Go for the kiwi's!" Cried Harold.
"Come on Amigo!" Cried Alejandro.
"Punch him until his nose bleeds!" Cried out Heather.
Duncan did what his friends told him, but he couldn't touch Pietro no matter how hard he tried.
"Hold still already!" Duncan told him.
"Again, make me." Said Pietro.
Then Duncan screamed and threw a fast one on Pietro, and by George he got him! Duncan's punch was a strong and powerful punch that had a lot of force in it. When Duncan swun his fist into Pietro's face he gave it everything he had/got. In fact, the punch was so fast, that Pietro didn't even see it coming. Duncan's punch sent Pietro flying backwards and go straight onto the ground. As he tried to sit up, a stream of blood came down his nose.
"How's that for a knock out Jack?" Said Duncan.
"Ow! Jesus! What the fuck? Dame it!" Pietro complained.
Then he cursed a bit under his breathe while holding onto his nose.
And then, Duncan walked over to Pietro, grabbed his shoulders, and pulled him up onto his feet.
"Okay listen up you! I'm gonna ask you some questions, and you're gonna give me an honest answer to every one of them." Duncan told him.
"Oh yeah, and why should I?" Pietro asked him.
"Because if you don't..." Duncan started to tell him before taking out his swiss army knife and putting it up against Pietro's neck.
"I'll make sure you never see anything including any hot chicks ever again."
"Yeah...That ain't gonna happen." Said Pietro snapping his fingers which made his friends walk up to Duncan.
Everybody gasped, but Leshawna stepped up to the plate.
"Hey! You leave him alone!" She told the Brotherhood as she stood in front of Duncan who was still looking at Pietro while holding his swiss army knife.
The Brotherhood stopped walking, and just began to laugh at Leshawna. (Minus Wanda who wasn't laughing like the boys.)
"Who are you to tell us what to do?" Asked Blob.
"Yeah! You ain't our mother so back off bitch." Said Toad.
"Say what? You say wha-Oh that's it!" Leshawna cried out in shock and anger.
"You want this bitch to back off? Then you gonna get backed off alright. Back off by my fist!"
Then Leshawna sprung foreward at Blob who just grabbed her and held her up in/into the air. This only got her angrier then before, and so she started kicking and screaming like crazy a bit. Then Harold got upset because his girlfriend was crying for help. So he then jumped/sprung into action and started to attack Blob. He kicked him, punched him, and just tried to pound him, but Blob didn't feel any of that. Instead, he just laughed, and then picked up Harold.
Heather began to complain about how Harold was now in the same position as Leshawna. And then without thinking she just walked up to Blob while pushing Lance and Wanda out of the way. She was kind of pissed off right now so nobody knew what she was going to/gonna do. Looking at Blob up and down, Heather began to think before walking back to where she stood, and then running straight a him. She ran as though/if she were in a marathon or tri-aflilon right at Blob. And then when she got close enough to him, she jumped onto him, and then pinched his pressure point. Which caused him to go into sleep mode, drop Leshawna and Harold, and then fall face first into/at/on the ground.
"And that's why you don't tell our bitch to back off." Said Heather.
"Um hm. Oh you go girl!" Said Leshawna.
Then both girls shared a high-five and walked off with Harold right besides them.
"Wow. That girl just took down Blob just by pinching his neck." Said Lance pointing that out.
"We just got served." Said Toad hiding behind Wanda.
She just rolled her eyes, but didn't push Toad away from her.
"Look this isn't getting us anywhere. Can't we just...talk?" Suggested Bridgette who came out of the basement with Geoff behind her.
"Violence isn't going to get us anywhere. We should just take the time to relax/calm down, and just talk. Could we just...I don't know try that? It wouldn't kill anyone to try that right? Please?"
"Yeah bros! Listen to my girl cause she speaks the truth!" Geoff told them.
"You know Bridgette's got a point. I mean, it wouldn't hurt anyone to talk right?" Trent stated.
Gwen nodded her head and leaned her head on his shoulder.
"I like that idea Trent." Gwen told him and Trent smiled down at her.
"Ugh! enough of the romance already!" Lance complained.
"Honestly, we all get it already!"
"Gee, somebody's got issues." Duncan mumbled to himself.
"Okay look." Started Gwen who walked up to Lance.
"You guys have got allot of nerve coming out here at Geoff's house; using your mutant powers to scare the living daylights out of us; not to mension almost put us all in the hospital; and for what? Just so you could see if we were a threat, and because you came to tell us that Pietro's dad has Courtney? Whoever he is, and if what you said is true. So here's what I think you should do. Get the hell off of Geoff's property, or have your asses kicked!"
"Wow, so what you've got gothie here standing up for all of you?" Asked Toad who peeked from behind Wanda.
"Oh shut up you creep." Heather told him.
"Hey I was just asking." He protested.
"Boy just keep your mouth shut to avoid the trouble you'll be getting into." Leshawna told Toad.
"Okay look enought of this!" Pietro began and ran up to Gwen.
"You can protest, and make an arguement like that one you just made, but its not going to make a difference, and change our minds."
"Okay...But what does this have to do with Courtney?" Trent asked Pietro.
Pietro then turned to Trent who had a little smirk on his face, and by then everybody else had come out from the basement and stood against the wall.
"Alright, if you really must know, my old man happens to know your so-called friend Courtney more then you all may realize." Pietro began.
"Huh, boy what are you going on about?" Leshawna asked him.
"I'm talking about the fact that my dad has Courtney with him somewhere were you'll never find her. Don't worry though she's safe, but depending on what she does will determine how long she gets to keep on living." He explained.
"What does your dad want with her anyway?" Asked Gwen.
"She's got this special something that my dad wants from her. Something that could change the entire world in a matter of seconds." Pietro replied.
"What does that mean?" Asked Bridgette.
"I'm glad you asked that! See as the purple haired freak spoke of not to long ago, we are mutants. As are her little friends the X-men. Of course due to the X gene that's the whole process of the mutation occuring its sometimes hard to know when your powers will kick in. Usually its later on when you get older, but there are occations when you obtain the X gene at birth." Pietro told her.
"What are you telling us?" Asked Duncan not wanting to hear an answer he might already know.
"I think you already know the answer to that." Said Pietro.
"Wait a minute what's going on?" Asked Lindsey scratching her head.
"I think that guy's saying that Courtney's just like him, and his friends. She''s a mutant who carries the X gene." Beth told her.
"Oh is that it well that doesn't sound so-WWWWWhhhhhaaaaattttttt?" Said Lindsey.
(I got that phrase from Family Guy.)
"No way!" Cried Katie.
"Double no way!" Cried Sadie.
"Uh...Is this some kind of joke eh?" Asked Ezekiel.
"Yeah, is this a joke?" Asked Tyler.
"If it were a joke then you'd be laughing right now, but you ain't." Said Toad.
"So Courtney really is a mutant?" Asked Lindsey.
"Uh duh." Said Toad.
"I don't understand, if Courtney's a mutant why does your dad need her?" Questioned Lindsey.
"You know I have to agree with her. Why does your dad need her for anyway?" Asked Heather.
"That's for us to know, and you to find out. That is, if you can manage to do so?" Pietro told her.
"Well I ain't waiting so you better tell us right now." Said Duncan walking up to him.
"So start talking before I make you."
"Hey look man I don't know all of the details. Okay, my old man wouldn't tell me anything else other then the information I've just given you alright? So if you wanna know what's going on you're gonna have to take it up with him. That is...If you can ever find out where he's hiding?"
"Oh you son-of-a-b-"
"Uh, uh, uh unless you wanna see Courtney again, then you all better stay out of the way. Especially you punk."
Then the Brotherhood made off leaving the TD cast where they all stood.
"Do you think he was telling the truth? About Courtney being a mutant, and with his dad?" Bridgette asked no one in particular.
"He sounded like he was being serious, but we don't know for sure?" Replied Gwen.
"Too bad we don't have a lie detector. That would really be helpful right now. Especially since I had recorded the entire conversation that just went on with this here tape recorder." Explained Harold pulling out a tape recorder.
"A tape recorder? Seriously? Who the hell carries around a tape recorder with them?" Questioned Duncan who wasn't in the mood right now.
"Wait a minute...I think Harold might be onto something Duncan." Said Noah walking up too them.
"I think I have an idea! If I could pluge in the recorder into Sierra's labtop, and then run a few simple test then will have instant proof of whether or not Quicksilver was telling the truth or not."
"No way!" Said Katie in shock.
"Double no way!" Said Sadie in shock.
"That's a great idea little buddy!" Cried out Owen who was now by Noah's side, and then gave him a big hug.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Asked Beth aloud.
"Let's do it!"
"YEAH!" Everybody said at once.
~Meanwhile at Magneto's Base~
(FYI this is Courtney's POV right now)
"Mm...mm...hm?" I say as I slowly start to wake up.
I blink my eyes a couple of times before letting out a yawn, and then sitting up. I rubbed my eyes, and found myself in the same room that I was in not to long ago. I looked around to find that everything was the same as it was left off from before. Then I looked down at my body to find myself still in my regular clothing from the other day. I let out a sigh of relife before a couple of thoughts occurs to me.
"How did I get here? Where was Gambit? Why wasn't I having any freaking nightmares?"
Right before I could do anything else, the door opens and in came Gambit. He looked pretty happy at the moment, but I didn't know why. I gave him a weak smile, and wave before turning away. I could hear the sound of his footsteps walking over towards me, but I didn't bother. I was kind of embaresed from before, but soon he was right next to me, and I gasped.
"Good afternoon cherie." He said with a smile.
I gave him a small smile and wave like before, and then turned my head away.
"What's the matter cherie? Y' don't look so good. Are y' sick?" Gambit asked me placing a hand upon my forehead.
My eyes looked up at his hand that was on my forehead.
I wasn't sure if I should say something to him or not after my break down?
"Cherie...Y' oka'? Y' are not talkin' t' Remy. Is there somethin' wrong?" He asked me.
"Um...N-No, no there's nothing wrong." I lied.
"Chere, I'm no' an idiot. I know when somethin' is wrong. Now come tell Remy what the proble' is." He told me.
"I-I-I can't." I replied.
"Why no'?" He asked.
"I-I don't know. I-I just can't." I replied looking down.
I had so many things on my mind right now that I couldn't think properly, and I didn't know if I could trust this guy enough to tell him anything. Even if I could gather up the courage to tell him anything the question then would be if he believed me or not? Just then, I felt a hand come underneathe my face, and lift my face up to see a pair of red eyes looking down at me.
"Y' can tell me anythin' cherie. Trust me?" He said to me.
I hesitated a little, but then somehow worked up the courage to tell him what was bugging me.
"Well lately, some strange things have been going on ever since I came to New York. I mean not like your typical average strange, but rather your advance mystery strange." I explained to him as he sat down next to me on the bed.
"Reall' now?" He asked me.
"Yeah, and I don't know why this is happening to me. Lately I've been having these strange dre...Eh nightmares of sorts." I tell him.
"What kin' 'f nightmares?"
"Nightmares of my friends leaving me because of all the horrible things I did back during the Total Drama series. That, or I hear these voices talking to me. Telling me that my friends aren't to be trusted, and that I can only trust him. But I don't know if I can with the way he's been scaring me and talking."
"I'm sorr' t' hear that chere."
"No, I'm sorry that I'm telling you this. It's just, I've been freaking out, and blaming myself for everything that I've done. Sometimes, when I wake up from a nightmare, I'm sweating and shaking like crazy. I don't know if it's because of the nightmate, or because I'm going crazy?"
Then unexpectedly I start to cry into my hands, and I'm soon pulled towards Gambit's body.
"What's wrong with me? I want to change. I want to change so much, but I don't know how." I say while trying to calm down.
"What am I going to do?"
"Y're goin' t' calm down first 'f all, and then y're gonna listen t' me." I heard Gambit tell me.
"Now I may not know y' ver' well Courtney, but what I do know is that y' can change y'r future, and change who y' are. Onl' y' stand in the way of y'self, and onl' y' can decide what t' do next. The way I see it, y're a ver' special girl, and I can help y', but y' have t' trust me. Can y' do that? Can y' trust me cherie?"
"Can I trust him? Can I really trust him? Well the way I see it, I don't have much of a choice right now." I thought to myself.
"I don't really know if I can, but the real question is if you can trust me?" I told him.
"I thin' I can do that cherie. I thin' I can do that." Replied Gambit with a smirk upon his face.
