Chapter 10: The Search is On…
In Bayville…
A drunken Beast, wearing all black, had parked his car out of sight near Senator Kelly's house. Having drank too many vodka martinis, the furry blue mutant thought he was James Bond. Although there was no relation to the famous British agent, Hank was humming the Mission: Impossible theme song as he successfully scaled a wall and opened a window.
Henry deactivated the security system and went downstairs. He noticed, in the living room, there were several paintings by famous artists. Henry said in his bad British accent,
"Now, if I were to hide stolen secrets, where would I put them?"
He began to search behind each of the paintings, until he finally found a safe behind a rather expensive piece. He removed the painting and began to figure out the combination thanks to one of Forge's device; a cell phone that had a fingerprint scanner built into it. (1)
Beast ran the finger print scans and discovered the combination to the safe. He opened it and found numerous documents and papers, as well as a device the furry scientist had never seen before. Grabbing the device and scanning the documents, he smirked to himself,
"Pierce Brosnan, eat your heart out."
As he turned around, Senator Kelly was in his bathrobe, which was an off pink color, and he was wearing a beauty mask, with his hair in curls, and was holding a candle. At this, the two looked at each other, and both let out horrible, high pitched, girlish screams. Beast hastily knocked over the senator and bolted,
"Hah! None shall defeat double 00-Henry, greatest super spy there ever was!"
Kelly roared at the top of his lungs,
"GET BACK HERE, MUTANT! YOU'RE A MENACE TO US ALL!"
Too late, as Beast was already out the window and getting into Scott's car as fast as he could. Kelly ran all the way to the end of the property, but it was too late as the car sped away. The bigoted senator grumbled,
"Stupid mutant. I'll get him for this."
He turned and was horrified to find his house was set on fire. He shrieked,
"MY HOUSE!! THAT MUTANT SET FIRE TO MY HOUSE!!! I'LL GET HIM FOR THIS, I SWEAR IT!"
A camera flashed and Bobby Drake, the X-men member known as Iceman, grinned,
"Nice!!"
Using his ice slide, he slipped away. Kelly shouted,
"I KNOW YOU'RE IN ON IT!! COME BACK HERE!!!!"
In San Diego…
Nick Fury, the one-eyed head of SHIELD, walked in,
"Here's everything on Grim Reaper and his Lethal Legion."
He placed several files on the table and the West Coast Avengers began going through them. War Machine said,
"It says here Grim Reaper was Eric's brother."
Pulsar was surprised,
"Say what?"
Carol looked at the file on Satana,
"Kinda thin for her, isn't it?"
Fury shook his head,
"Some sort of succubus, so we've got mythological references on her. The others are more well known."
Falcon looked at Black Talon,
"Man, I'd never thought a guy in a chicken outfit could raise so much undead, and hell."
Crystal, who was holding Quicksilver tightly, remarked,
"What about the giant chicken that is constantly getting into fights with the West Coast Misfits?" (2)
Quicksilver pleaded,
"Air. Wanda, help me. I can't breathe."
Scarlet Witch looked at Nekra,
"It says here Nekra is some kind of sorceress. Possibly a student of the Black Talon's."
Black Panther nodded,
"She has access to his magic. In any event, we should be careful."
Leon groaned,
"It's still not going to help us figure out where they have Wonder Man or Persiana. We really need to find them."
Carol sat next to him,
"We'll find Simon, don't worry."
Hercules asked,
"What about the furry one Persiana?"
Miss Marvel sighed angrily,
"Yeah, her too."
Meanwhile…
Satana was strutting around the cages of both Persiana and Wonder Man. The ionic hero had woken up and shouted,
"Let us out!"
The succubus shook her head,
"Now, that wouldn't be nice. Grim Reaper has plans for you, Simon."
She then looked at Farrah,
"But I get to play with this one all I want."
The lioness hissed,
"When my boyfriend finds you, you're dead!"
Satana laughed,
"You're boyfriend? Honey, by the time I'm done with him, he'll be MY boyfriend, and you'll just be a memory."
Farrah roared and charged at the succubus, but was shocked by the force field and flung back. She shrieked in pain at the electrical impulse coursed through her body, but she stood up, weakly replying,
"You…bitch."
Satana cackled again,
"Face it, furball. He's too good for you."
She sighed happily,
"Finally, a demon like him and a demon like me will be together. And we'll be together…forever!"
