Rogue and Wanda were walking through the market. They were both incredibly depressed because they had just found out about the battle. Rogue was starting to like Remy and dared to say, missed him. Wanda was just depressed.

''I need wine. Lots of wine.'' Wanda said as they walked through the market.

''Do you know a good wine dealer?'' Rogue asked as she looked at a stall.

''He imports wine from the entire land. Sells it by the barrell.'' Wanda said looking excited.

''I'm going to need a barrell.'' Rogue said. She liked the market and saw a juggler performing. She enjoyed it.

''Just one?'' Wanda asked. She was laughing and Rogue looked surprised.

''You drink too much.'' Rogue said smiling.

''I can afford it.'' Wanda said. The two started to laugh.

They walked up to a large stall. There were loads of barrels and bottles decorated around it. A small, tanned, hairy man ran up to them. He seemed excited and was holding a large bottle.

''Wanda, my favorite and who is your friend?'' The wine dealer asked. He had a foreign accent which Rogue couldn't work out what it was.

''I'm Rogue.'' Rogue said introducing herself.

''A pleasure. What can I do for you today?'' The wine dealer asked.

''Wine.'' Wanda said. Rogue realised it was an italian accent.

''Any wine?'' The wine dealer asked as he put down the large bottle.

''Good wine.'' Wanda replied.

''Of course.'' The wine dealer said as he looked through several bottles.

''Barrels though.'' Wanda said. The wine dealer smiled.

''I like this place.'' Rogue said to Wanda.

''Cheap as well.'' Wanda replied.

''Here we have a lovely vintage. Please try.'' The wine dealer said as he poured two small glasses. Rogue and Wanda sipped it and handed back to the cups.

''Two barrels.'' Wanda said.

''Right up.'' The wine dealer said.

Hank and Ororo were walking through the street. It was a cold day and the clouds were building up, it would rain tonight. Ororo was still depressed about what had happened with her nephew.

''A bear there was A bear, A BEAR! All black and brown, And covered in hair! Oh come they said, Come to the fair! The fair? said he, But I'm a bear! All black and brown, And covered in hair!'' A group of drunks sang as Hank and Ororo walked past. Hank just roared at them and the group ran off.

''Easy now Hank.'' Ororo said. She knew he was sensitive about it.

''Don't worry Ororo. I am above them.'' Hank said.

''Excellent.'' Ororo replied.

''The celestials made me this way and they made them that way.'' Hank said.

''Glad to hear it Hank.'' Ororo said. She hated it when he was angry.

''So how have you been holding up?'' Hank asked.

''I think I'll be fine.'' Ororo replied. She did seem a little depressed when she said it.

''Let's just hope the Morlocks don't start something that will result in the end of many lives.'' Hank said. He seemed rather worried by the idea of a war.

''I couldn't agree more.'' Ororo said.

Ororo and Hank walked into the council room. David, Charles, Logan and Jean-Luc were there. They were sat down drinking wine.

''Jean-Luc, I didn't realise you would be here.'' Hank said as he and Ororo sat down. They were given a glass of wine by a cupbearer.

''The Acolytes have been captured.'' Charles sid. He seemed worried.

''Including Remy.'' Jean-Luc said.

''That's terrible.'' Ororo said.

''This could not have come at a worse time. If the Morlocks are planning a war.'' David explained before being cut off.

''They won't go to war.'' Logan said.

''If they do they'll need an army. The assassins will provide one, what remains of them anyway.'' David said.

''They won't raise an army. They'll just fight each other, Morlocks are savages.'' Logan said. He seemed rather annoyed.

''Look, that is not the problem at the moment. Erik will want revenge since they have his son. He will be wanting to make his move.'' Charles explained.

''An invasion?'' Ororo asked.

''A massacre and he will need soldiers.'' David corrected.

''Erik is my oldest and most dearest friend. We fought together against the Hellfire club and the Shadow King. I followed that man into battle and I will do it again.'' Charles explained. The council were silent.

Evan was walking through the forest or what was left of it. It was covered in ashes and scorched branches. He walked through with burnt armour and sword. All he could feel was the rage that was filling his heart, he wanted to go to war. He walked up to a three guards walking through the forest.

''So I spent the night with her.'' One of the guards said arrogantly.

''You spent the night with Jubilee?'' One of the guards asked as he picked at some chicken.

''Yeah.'' The arrogant guard said.

''Bullshit.'' The third guard said laughing his head off.

''No it is not.'' The arrogant guard said defensively. Evan started to walk towards them.

''She's with the ice guy.'' The guard that was eating said.

''Who the fuck are you?'' The third guard asked as Evan walked up to them.

Evan took out his sword and dragged it across the arrogant guards neck. The other two got up and took out theres.

''That's a guards outfit, what are you guarding?'' Evan asked as he swung his sword around.

''You killed him.'' The guard said as he dropped his chicked. Evan ran up to him and smacked his sword twice before cutting the guards arm, he dropped the sword and Evan ran his bone sword through him.

''What?'' Evan asked.

The last guard ran at him. Evan jumped down and rolled across. He got up and slashed the guards back. Evan looked around and saw a small opening by a hill. He walked towards it and then looked at the dead guards. He walks inside hoping to find something that could help him.

Remy and John were on a ship. They were dehydrated and hungry. There were three ships and the prisoners were spread out upon the three ships. Remy looked at Piotr, he was in so much pain. Some of the metal had been heated up and was now burnt onto his skin.

''You keeping ok mon ami?'' Remy asked. He struggled to speak.

''It hurts.'' Piotr said as he took a swig of water. He then passed the water to someone else.

''Just stay put. We are going to die soon.'' Piotr said. He was sat in the corner covered in blood and bandages. His chest had been hit by and arrow and he was in great pain.

''Stay optimistic.'' John said. He was trying to keep the thought of Wanda fresh in his mind.

''We are going to die.'' Pietro said.

''That's good for morale.'' Remy replied. He had been taken prisoner before and was trying to remain calm.

''It's a fact cajun. We are just as good as dead.'' Pietro spat back.

''Gambit has been in situations like this before mon ami, we can survive as long as we stick together.'' Remy replied.

''He's just pissed because he got taken down by a mercenary.'' John said as he was handed the water. He took a swig and handed it to Remy.

''A former SHIELD mercenary.'' Piotr added. Remy took a swig and handed it over.

''Should that mean anything?'' Pietro asked.

''SHIELD used to be the main military force in New York but they fell apart during Magnetos, your fathers war with Hellfire. That was a long time ago.'' Piotr explained. He struggled to speak due to the pain.

''We need to leave.'' Remy said as he looked around. He fished around his pockets and had some powder left.

''Where would we go?'' Pietro asked.

''Anywhere but where we are going.'' Remy said. John looked at the powder and nodded.

Erik was on his throne. He was angry and annoyed. Jason walked in.

''My son has been taken, my only son, my heir.'' Erik said as he stared at his helmet.

''I heard my king. How should we proceed?'' Jason asked.

''I want whoever told them dead.'' Erik said as he kept his eyes on his helmet.

''Told them?'' Jason asked. He didn't want Erik to grow suspicious of him.

''Somebody must have warned them. We had spies there and they said that there were no guards.'' Erik explained his deduction.

''Maybe the spies lied.'' Jason said.

''Perhaps or that there is a spy in my service.'' Erik said. He put on his helmet and stood up.

''I will ask around.'' Jason said as he began to walk away.

''But bring the spy to me...Alive.'' Erik said as Jason left.

It was the middle of the night. The Acolytes were getting ready to take control of the ship.

''Where's Victor?'' John asked as they got ready.

''With a ball of string for all I care. Let's do this.'' Remy replied.

''Do it.'' John said.

Remy took the powder and poured it by the door. On the other side the guards slept. As he did this John and Piotr took hold of two guards and choked them to death.

''Now.'' Piotr yelled as he picked up a guard and threw him off this ship.

Victor then appeared out of the shadows and ripped apart a guard. As the rest of the soldiers burst out of the door Remy ignited it setting the door on fire and burning several soldiers. The fire failed to spread around the ship as the Acolytes and other Lensherr soldier fought.

''Good to see you Victor.'' Remy yelled as he picked up a sword and ran it through a soldier.

Pietro picked up a small sword and started to fight. He struggled fighting due to his injuries but managed to tear a mans throat in two.

Taskmaster was on the other ship. He was watching the battle.

''They might get away.'' The ship captain said.

''They'll get nowhere.'' Taskmaster said. He took his bow and arrow and set the arrow alight.

Taskmaster aimed the burning arrow and fired at the ship. It hit the sail setting it ablaze. The sail started to collapse.

''Abandon ship.'' Remy screamed as he jumped off the ship. The sail collapsed killing many men and the ship started to break.

Erik was sat at his throne. He was wearing his helmet as was drinking wine. A tall, raven haired woman walked in. She wore a white dress and her skin was as blue as the sea. This was Raven Darkholme, the mysterious woman...Mystique.

''Mystique.'' Erik said as she walked in.

''Erik, I'm sorry about Pietro.'' Raven said. She took a chair and sat down.

''Is it done?'' Erik asked.

''I have dealt with it.'' Raven replied.

''Excellent. Senator Kelly will match his fate along with any others who choose to follow him.'' Erik said. He stood up and walked towards her.

''As you command, my king.'' Raven said.

''Does your daughter know you're here?'' Erik asked. He put down the cup.

''No. I want to surprise her.'' Raven said. She seemed excited. She stood up and walked out with Erik.

The two were standing by the wall. They were looking at all the heads on spikes, this is where the traitors went.

''I hand it to him. He played the game well but not as well as others.'' Erik said as he looked at the head of Jason. His head had recently put on the spike.
