After everyone else left, Shade looked at Bryan. "Was that really necessary Bryan?" She said with annoyance. "I know we haven't seen each other for a few years but I need my space from others."

"I didn't stay to be with you. I stayed because I don't know anyone who could help." He responded, crossing his arms.

"Don't you Avengers have a huge team? I thought there were more."

"There is but most are either out doing S.H.I.E.L.D. missions or the others are going to ask for help." Bryan said looking down. "So like I said, no one I can ask. What about you? You have a whole school of mutants."

Shade rolled her eyes. "Yeah a School with kids. Most still learning about their mutant powers. There are some others there but Scott's going to get them. And everyone else knows at least one person who can help. Other than me being I don't like most other people." She looked towards the forest. "I'm going to go search the perimeters. Make sure no one unwelcome is here." Before Bryan could answer, Shade covered herself with the shadows and ran into the forest.

Once she was far enough away, she moved the shadows and uncovered herself. Shade moved silently around the forest and looked around. Everything seemed normal. Not sure if that's good or bad... She thought. Shade kept walking around, just to make sure no one was around. That's when she heard two people up ahead. She quickly hid herself in the shadows and moved closer.

"If they think they can beat us, they're wrong. And obviously not very bright." said a voice. Shade moved closer until she could see both of them. Thats Bullseye... What is he doing here? She looked at the other person and thought he looked familiar but she couldn't tell why.

" That doesn't take much to figure out. Anyone could tell that." the other person said. "They may be going to get help but no matter what, we will have the advantage."

Shade listened to them, as silent as she could be. Obviously we aren't the only stupid ones. After they both walked away, Shade headed back to where Bryan was. She thought about not telling him but decided against it. Knowing if she didn't tell him, he would be pissed at her.

Shade reached the field and saw Bryan sitting in the middle of it. "Bryan. We have a problem."

Bryan looked back at her and stood up. "What's up? Are they attacking?"

"No. Not yet. But I saw Bullseye and someone else near the edge of the woods. It proves that they aren't scared of being caught by us." Shade said. "That's not exactly a good thing."

Bryan was silent for a minute. "Are they still there?" When Shade shook her head no he sighed. "The sooner everyone gets back, the better."

"Agreed. But for now all we can do is wait." Shade responded.

Bryan looked at her. "You should get some rest Shade."

"We both should." She said. "I'll be in a tree if you need me." Shade walked to the nearest tree and climbed up. Once she found a strong branch, she leaned against the tree and quickly fell asleep.


Shade woke up the next morning hearing voices. She listened carefully and heard Logan. That was fast. She jumped down from the tree and walked to where she heard him. Shade saw Bryan and Logan talking. She looked over and saw two other people. One of which was Gambit. She looked at the other person and immediately knew who it was. One of her least favorite people in the world. Wade Wilson.


Sorry this took so long to write. I've been busy with family issues and had a bit of writers block. Also, I need help thinking of more villains to put in this story! If you have any ideas please PM me. Thanks
