Chapter Nine
"Revenge and Funeral Plans"
They all arrived quickly enough, and Eric led them into his office. Nathaniel had stated that he would join them soon, and left a few minutes before, mumbling something about 'chips', 'clothing', and …'Debbie?' but Erik and Raven ignored this as they were too wrapped up in the planning of the funerals, and the revenge. Oh the revenge would be glorious! Whoever had done this would wish they could invent a time travel device, to go back and undo what had been done, then if said person actually COULD build such a device they may allow them too, however after that they would pay!
Everyone else shared their feelings on the subject, though some wondered why the assassins arrived, BellaDonna and Julien in particular. Bella Donna, after all, had never been quiet in her opinion of Rogue, or the LeBeaus' marriage. Her brother had never been quiet over his hatred of all Thieves. None thought to question this however, because they soon fell into chaos as they never really get along well when gathered together. It was just an unfortunate side effect of simply hating each other.
It began, innocently enough, with Jean-Luc demanding " Marius! Just tell us who hired you t' kill my son and we'll let you alone."
"I told you already, Jean-Luc, I didn't do it! Maybe it was the insane Mercenary they let live with them?" Marius replied.
"Why would he do that unless you paid him to?" Jean-Luc snarled. This fight was a continuation of the one that began on the plane up to New York, and their people were all nodding and glaring behind them.
Marius had finally had enough of the accusations! Seriously, when had he ever taken money to kill a Thief? He did it all on his own, when he did. Foolishly he chose to voice this fact. The office filled with loud bangs as everyone began ranting, pacing, biting, fighting and worse of all spiting all over the place. Magneto watched in horror as all of the men assembled flipped out (and was destroying his office, but mostly the first thing, mostly) he couldn't bear it, he started to fear soon they would take their anger and grief out on him when suddenly they all heard a growl.
Victor stood, glaring at the men who were fighting. Now they all stood (and sat) quietly as they waited to see what was going to happen next.
"How can you act like this! At this point in time!? Look at how depressed Magneto is! (everyone looked over at Magneto and agreed, starting to feel guilty, but in truth Magneto was just terrified they were going to kill him.) Oh I'm sorry. I should use you name, Erik. I know not all of us our here! Look, where is Nathan? It may seem like we should start without him, but that wouldn't be right! We just lost our families, but so has he. I wouldn't be surprised if he was out looking for the person, or people responsible for this! I can't believe you could be so selfish and not even worry or think about how horribly painful this is for us all! ALL! We need not to fight, but to join together and come up with a way to defeat them get revenge!" Victor ended, and the was peace for a moment, until Bella-Dawn's father started to rant.
"You dirty Thief! If your son hadn't been screwing that, that mutant then none of this would-"
"How dare you Father! You should be ashamed, maybe if you hadn't threatened him on our first date!" Bella-Dawn snapped.
"What did you just say!?" He screamed.
"Maybe I should get going, I mean, you know so I can find out where they are, the killers you know."
Magneto said, trying to sneak off.
"BUT WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO THEY ARE!" Jean-Luc responded.
"…I'll think of something." Magneto said, still trying to get away.
"Hey it's interesting isn't it? He brings us here, claiming they have died, and suddenly he's going to leave us here as his back up, but we aren't allowed any weapons? And one of his most trusted men makes a long speech, trying to guilt trip? Well I don't buy it! I think we were set up, you know? I mean think about it! Look, if you don't have anything to hide then make your men get rid of their weapons? Unless that isn't okay, unless YOU ARE A LIAR who has decided that it's been too long since all of these new grandfathers and old grandfathers showed up. Nice how these things work. So here's my theory, he decided he wanted to be the BEST grandfather, so he decided he would invite us all here and get rid of us and our families! WHY'D YOU DO IT ERIK!? ." Jean-Luc finished, all of his family behind him, looking as though they were planning Erik's demise.
"Now, now, men do as this-this Jean-Luc says, it's funny isn't though? You come up with such a ridiculous theory, but wasn't it YOU and your little buddies who specialize in little, let's say, games you know where people disappear, get lost, you know found in pieces, funny isn't it?" Erik snarled.
"You're saying I KILLED MY OWN SON!" Jean-Luc said, beginning to get furious.
"Ayah! You admitted it! You killed your son, you family probably doesn't even know it, after all you wanted him to marry that Mindy-Dawn or Hannah or whatever her name is! You probably got pissed, I doubt her father even knows, you know that girl he was supposed to marry, yeah. I understand now, you killed him, probably planned on blaming me, and killing me. Making sure you get away with it." Erik replied.
"Now, that's not even believe-"
"OH MY GOD! HOW COULD YOU FATHER (everyone else began turning on Jean-Luc as well, even Tante Mattie.)" Henri exclaimed.
"Do you really believe-" Jean-Luc began but was cut off by Mr. Sinister who looked as though he had a completely new wardrobe, as he was now wearing black.
"Is this the time? I know who did it-it wasn't Jean-Luc, I have thought long and hard about it. It could be none other than my ex." He explained.
