Eric looked at Kurt with a slightly surprised look on his face. "Kurt…… are you sure?" Kurt looked at him. "Yeah, why?" Eric sighed. "I don't want to discourage you Kurt, but…… well I don't want you to do this on a whim. I lost a lot of friends when I came out. I don't want you to go though the same thing I did. I just………. Want you to be happy." Kurt smiled and moved so he could be even closer to Eric. "Thanks for your concern but I think I want to do this. I don't want to live a secret life that no one else knows about." Eric smiled and nodded. "I can understand that, but you should be ready for a few changes, around the mansion. It is very likely that some of your friends might act different around you at first." Kurt nodded and smiled as he felt Eric begin to kiss his neck, and shoulders. For the rest of the night they both watched the sunset.

CHAPTER 11

slowly Kurt began to wake up. golden sunlight was filtering through the curtain into their room. Kurt could not help but smile as he shifted in the bed. Eric's arms were wrapped tightly around his waist. slowly the memories began to come back to him. the memories of what they had done the night before.

FLASHBACK

Kurt nodded as he felt Eric begin to kiss his neck and shoulders. Kurt let out a moan as he felt Eric's hands begin to move from around his waist. a second later he let out a loud "epp" as Eric lifted him off the ground and pulled his closer. Kurt felt his body shudder as Eric continued to kiss him. a moment later Kurt found that Eric had taken them into the bathroom and had set him down on the vanity. Kurt felt Eric's hands move from around him to slowly inching themselfs up under his shirt. Kurt felt a warm flush creep slowly up his body until his cound not escape the the strange heat that was encasing his body. Kurt let out another yelp as Eric gripped both sides of his shirts and pulled. the flimsy cotton, gave way with a loud ripping noice. Kurt felt the cool night air lick his chest and stomach. Kurt let out a low shudder as the cold night air began to work it's way through his skin. Eric seeing this smiled and pulled Kurt even closer to him. Kurt smiled and gripped Eric's wrist. a second later both of them vanished and reappeared however Eric was missing his shirt.

Eric raised an eyebrow as Kurt grinned sheepishly. Eric smiled and pulled Kurt closer so their chests were touching each other. As Kurt looked in Eric eyes he felt Eric gripped his waist. A split second later he spun Kurt around so Kurt's back was against his chest. Kurt tail had always been sensitive so when Eric took the whole end of it and began to suck on it Kurt's eyes rolled back into his head.. Eric smiled to himself as he felt Kurt push back against his body for support. For a long while they both just stood there Eric sucking on Kurt's tail and Kurt trying his best not to fall over, with the pleasure. After what felt like hours Kurt became aware that Eric's hands had moved from their place around his waist and were now slowly travels under the lip of his jeans. Kurt let out a gasp and arched his back as Eric's hands brushed passed his swollen member. Grinning to himself Eric slowly began to pull down Kurt's pants until gravity took over and they fell to the ground with a muffled 'thump'. Kurt felt the cool night air hit his legs and let out a shiver. Almost at once he felt Eric pull him closer for warmth and comfort. A moment later another dull thump and Kurt felt Eric spin him around again. Kurt felt Eric capture his lip in a deep kiss. As he did this Eric pulled Kurt off the ground, almost at once he felt Kurt wrap his tail and legs around his waist. As Eric and Kurt broke the kiss Kurt felt Eric beginning to move them from the vanity. A second later a small 'click'' and the door to the shower opened.

A second later the door closed and Kurt's tail wrapped itself around the shower dial. A second later they both let out a yelp of surprise as cold water rained down on them from them from above. A few moments later the water began to heat up and they began to move around again. As the water rained down on them Eric began to kiss his way down Kurt's neck and chest. Kurt let out a loud moan as Eric began to lick his abs. a moment later Eric slowly gripped Kurt's underwear and began to slowly pull them down, giving Kurt the chance to stop him. Kurt did not know what to do. On the one hand he wanted to be with Eric in this way, but on the other hand he was very VERY nervous. Slowly Eric took his tounge away from Kurt's abs and moved back to Kurt pulling him into a deep kiss. A second later Kurt's eyes went wide and he shuddered as he felt one Eric's hand dip into his underwear and wrap itself around his enlarged member.

Kurt's legs trembled as he felt Eric's hand grip 'him'. A moment later a wet 'thud' sounded as his underwear was pulled off of his figure. In the midst of pleasure Kurt's tail hooked itself under Eric's boxers and yank them off so hard that they flew through the air and hit the other side of the shower. Kurt felt like his skin was on fire. Eric's kisses were like small explotions of pleasure as his hand gently tightened and lossened it grip. As Eric broke away from Kurt's kiss he leaned in next to his ear. "I've got a little surprise for you." Something about the way Eric said that sent another shudder of his spine. Eric released his grip on Kurt's member and crouched down so he was level with 'little' Kurt. Kurt relized what Eric was going to do about a second before he did it. kurt's eyes bulged slightly as he felt eric's mouth and tounge wrap around his member. kurt's grip on the wall tightened as eric continued his ministrations on his member.

it felt like nothing else in the world. kurt could feel eric's tounge moving across and over his member. a few seconds later kurt felt eric's mouth leave his memeber. a second later kurt felt his body jerk and he slid his way down to the floor of the tub. eric was licking the very tip of his cock like an ice cream cone. after a moment he chcukled and spoke. "you know I joke that people get blue balls but in your case i guess it's an actuality for you." kurt was about to respond when eric pushed the skin on his member back and ran his rough tounge across it. For what felt like an eternity they stayed like that. Kurt laying on the floor and Eric licking his member. Then all at once pleasure seemed to erupt into life. Kurt's muscles locked up as the pleasure shot from his mind to his body. "Eric!" a moment later Eric was kissing him feirsly. Slowly the pleasure began to subside and Kurt's muscles began to loosen.

Eric smiled and leaned closer to Kurt's ear. "Kurt…… we don't have to go any further if you don't want to. I wont force you into this." Kurt smiled nuzzled closer to Eric. "thank you." Eric smiled and with a twitch of his eyebrow used his power to turn the water off. Still smiling Eric picked Kurt up off the floor and pulled him into his arms. Carefuly so as not to fall Eric stepped out of the tub and continued to kiss Kurt. A second later Kurt grabbed them a towel with his tail. Smilling Eric set Kurt down and wrapped them both up with the towel. Kurt let out another small moan as their bodies pressed closer together. Eric grinned and let spun himself around so Kurt was the only one in the towel. Still grinned he lifted Kurt off the ground and held him bridal style. Slowly Eric carried Kurt into the bed room and set him down on the bed. Slowly Kurt pulled the blankets over Eric and himself, his mind still buzzing about what they had just done. His mind was moving so fast he was sure he would not be able to get to sleep, but when Eric wrapped his arms around his waist and kissed his neck all his thoughts just seemed to melt away.

END OF FLASHBACK

As the memories flowed back to him he could not help but blush slightly. A moment later he felt Eric roll over and wake up. Kurt chuckled as Eric slowly looked around the room, and then to him. "Morning sweetie." Eric smiled. "Morning honey." Kurt smiled as he felt Eric pull him closer. "Almost a shame we have to leave." Eric nodded and sighed. "yeah I know what you mean but Savanna and Mike have their own lives to live. We've taken up enough of their time. As it is I assume Xavier and the others have found out that we're gone." Kurt nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I don't think he'll be to happy about us leaving. Also Scott is probably out for your blood right now." Eric sighed. "I wish I knew why he doesn't trust me. As it is I'm really only friends with you and storm." Kurt nodded and then spoke something that had been on his mind since last night. "Eric…… when we get back to the mansion…… I'd like to tell them about us." Eric smiled at him. "It's your choice Kurt. I won't force you into anything you don't want." Kurt had never felt more in love with Eric then he did at that moment. Slowly kurt kissed Eric. As the kiss deepened Kurt let out a low moan and rolled so he was on top of Eric. A few minutes later they found something to share between just them.

XAVIER MANSION

As the x-men made their way to school they began to hear a low level whining coming from behind them. As spyke turned he caught sight of Eric's bike carrying savanna and mike, 'in' Eric and Kurt's form. As they sped past mike pulled down his eyelid and stuck out his tongue. A moment later they sped past and shot down towards school. Kitty rolled her eyes, and looked at jean. "How long do we have to deal with those 2?" jean shrugged. "they said they were covering for Eric and Kurt until they got back from their trip." Rouge moved closer to speak. "yeah but why did Eric choose Kurt. I mean there plenty of more powerful mutants, at exo-gene or even in the mansion. Why did he choose Kurt?" spyke shrugged. "Who knows why Eric does what he does. As it is savanna has a point, about us. Other then the crawler none of us have really tried to get to know Eric." Kitty nodded and looked the other way. It was then that Scott spoke. "Well I know one way we could find out. Eric said they have the complete profiles of every exo-gene member online. Why don't we just look him up? Spyke shook his head. "Scott you need to let this go. Eric has made it very clear that he has no intention of joining us. Just leave him alone." Scott shook his head. "Look he came in here and began to do his own thing regardless of what anyone says. We need to find out why he does all these things. You might look but I'm going to." With that Scott left the group and made his way to the library. Once there he pulled a computer and logged on to the net. Within 3 minutes he was on the exo-gene site. A few seconds later he had pulled up the profiles of half a dozen employees.

A few moments later a search bar popped up in the right corner of the screen. Carefully Scott typed in E. R. I. C. T. O. O. M. S.. A loading bar appeared and then a second later a page popped up. Scott leaned forward and began to read. 'Eric tooms was born on March 22, 1992. His parents were and still are world renowned geneticist so when he manifested they were obviously thrilled. Several months later they threw him out due to a 'social engineering' problem. For a few months Eric travel the world observing the troubles mutants had to deal with. A few days later Eric joined exo-gene and began to fund massive programs to help better the lives of mutants. To this day Eric has donated over 12 billion dollars to exo-gene programs. It was a small link at the bottom of the page that caught Scott's attention. The link read simply, Eric's profile. Scott clicked it and a second later 2 pictures popped up above an article. The article read, Eric's tragedy in life. 'June 5th, 2001. Tragedy struck Eric tooms today at 3;50 in the afternoon. The tragedy came in the form of the passing of Eric's long time lover Jason Danier, age 16. Eric and Jason had been seeing each other for the past year and a half.'

Scott started at that line for a full 15 seconds. 'had been seeing'. Scott looked up from the screen and stared off into space. Eric….. had been seeing…… another man….. as in………. dating? Scott looked back at the article. 'at 5:30 in the afternoon the following week Jason Danier was laid to rest at cold creek cemetery, in Idaho his home town. After the funeral Eric would only say that Jason deserved eternal happiness, after his 6 month long fight with lymphoma. After Jason's death Eric threw himself into his work at exo-gene stating simply that Jason would have wanted it. However a single ray of hope gleamed in his life, in the form of a young researcher by the name John Salva. For several weeks they worked closely together and had even been seen outside of work several times. While attending a charity ball at fort Dan worth, Eric said they were happy to be together and john helped to heal the whole left in Eric's heart by the passing of Jason. Below the article was a, link that leads to a page about Jason. A second after clicking it the page popped open.

Jason Salva, was a 16 year old high school dropout, but not for the common reasons. Jason dropped out stating that he had no interest in learning what was required, he wanted to learn what was practical. Less than 2 hours after dropping out Jason had over a dozen offers from several technical engineering collages. He denied all offers, stating that he already had a job. The next day Jason moved to California and began a new job with stark industries. However less than 5 months later he left his job stating his powers were a god given gift and he should be using them not to harm others but to help them. Shortly after leaving stark's employ he joined exo-gene and began working closely with Eric tooms, on a private project.' The article continued but Scott closed down the internet, and got up. In a daze he made his way to his first class and sat down. A few rows in front of him savanna sat in Eric's form. But Scott did not see her, he was to stunned. It was just starting to sink in. Eric Tooms… the boy who had been living with them for the past 6 months……. was gay. Then all at once several things hit him at once. Eric was gay! Not only that but Jason and john his exes. All at once the bell rang and the class ended. Scott jumped and left the room. He had been so wrapped up in his thoughts that he had not notice the time had passed. For the next few periods Scott was in a daze as more and more became clear about Eric. By the time lunch had rolled around the daze was beginning to wear off. Scott grabbed his lunch and sat down with the others. "did you guys know Eric's gay?" even toad looked at him and then shook his head. "dude this is your saddest attempt yet." Scott shook his head. "I'm telling the truth, I found it on his profile, for exo-gene. He's had 2 boyfriends." Jean looked up from her lunch and scowled. "Scott that is enough, Stop trying to ruin Eric's name and reputation." She was about to say more when 'Eric' and 'Kurt' joined them. (from now on I'm going to call savanna and mike, as Eric and Kurt.) Eric sat down and looked at Scott. Without any preamble she spoke, in a blunt tone. "So you know Eric's secret?"

Scott smirked and nodded. Savanna rolled her eyes and chuckled. "Well I guess Eric should be relieved. He was really worried about how to break the news to all of you, although Kurt knows. Everyone looked up at that. Toad spoke first. "How does blue boy know?" Eric shrugged, and smiled. "Once again that's not for me to say; only Kurt and Eric have the right to tell you." With that Eric and Kurt got up and left the group. Toad looked at Scott and huffed. "Listen here, summers. I don't care if Eric's gay, straight, or some kind of none combo no one has ever heard of before. It doesn't change how I think of him. So if you don't mind I'm leaving." With that he got up and moved to join Eric and Kurt who had taken a seat on the other side of the court yard. Scott turned to the other only to find them glaring at him. Kitty spoke next. "What do you have against him? Eric's shown no sign of wanting to take over and you still try to discredit him, well I'm with toad and the others. Eric's preference does not change who he is." And with that she got up and joined toad, Eric and Kurt. A moment later the rest of them got up and moved to join the others. Scott let out a yell of anger and stormed off.

From an unseen section of the court yard lance grinned, evilly. He had been running around the group during the whole conversation. As such he had heard every word. Now the brotherhood had a way to hurt Eric. Still grinning he made his way to mystique's office to tell her what he had heard.

IOS ISLAND

Eric and Kurt both made their way down the winding stair case to the lobby with their bags. Valerie who had been reading a book behind the counter looked up and raised an eyebrow at the slightly scarlet color across both Eric's and Kurt's face. Without saying a word, Valerie checked them out and wished them good luck on their trip, back. As they made their way out of the hotel Kurt found that Fisk, bio, Adam and sky were all waiting for them with a slightly awkward look on their faces. Neither Eric, nor Kurt made any comment but got into their jeep and sped off to the beach and their boat home. After the hour long boat ride to the main land they boarded another private plane and were headed back to the USA within the hour. As the plane made it's way closer to the USA they all talked and had a generally good time. As the plane landed in the airport Eric became aware of another source of massive energy, 'physic' energy. As Eric left the plane he looked around as he could feel the energy surrounding him, watching him. As they left the airport they all said their goodbyes and went their separate ways. Fisk, to the local military base, bio back to exo-gene, Adam and sky back to their condo on the east side of town.

As Eric and Kurt rode the taxi back to the mansion, Eric continued to feel the energy watching him. As the taxi drove off Eric and Kurt turned back to the mansion and made their way to their rooms. As they entered the front door they found Logan, storm, and Xavier, standing there waiting, for him. As they stood there in the front door Xavier looked at Eric and spoke. "Library, 10 minutes." With that he wheeled himself away. Logan shook his head and left. Storm, raised an eyebrow and spoke. "well you've created a big problem. You really should tell us before you leave, with one of our team members." Eric shrugged, and spoke. "Alright maybe I screwed up but don't kill me just yet. Wait until I explain myself." Storm shook her head and left the room leaving only Eric and Kurt. Eric sighed as he and Kurt made their way to their rooms to unpack. 10 minutes later both of them walked into the library to find not only Xavier but Scott, jean, kitty, and spyke waiting for them. Eric rolled his eyes and sat down next to Kurt. There was a long silence and then Xavier spoke. "what made you think it was OK for you to take one of the x-men and leave without telling anyone?" Eric sighed. "Look exo-gene gave a job, I did my job get off my back." Xavier shook his head. "no. what you did was reckless and irresponsible. Not only did you risk exposing yourself and Kurt but you left my team one member short. What if Kurt had been needed?" Eric shrugged. 'you would have survived without him." Xavier slammed his fist down on his arm rest a gesture that none of them had seen. "how can you do this. You openly and knowingly almost exposed us all."

Eric stood up and spoke in a very angry voice. "Don't you DARE tell me what I almost did Xavier. There is one difference between me and you. It's how we view mutants. I think mutants she be out loud and proud of what they are. You however take to hiding in the shadows and playing hit and run with your enemies. Magneto has the right idea. Mutants need liberation now or the humans will have a reason to fear us. Even at exo-gene many mutants show a disliking of humans. I may have some influence over the mutant population but I can't fight a full scale war and keep humans from wiping us out at the same time. I can't and won't stop the mutant population from fighting. If it comes to war I'll step aside and let it happen." Xavier sighed and folded his hands together. "why did you take Kurt?" Eric rolled his eyes and chuckled. "I would have thought that was obvious. How much do you really know about me?" at the Xavier fell silent. Eric smirked. "that's what I thought. I chose Kurt for 2 reasons. 1 he knows me and hence would seem like the right person to take on this trip. He would do as I said without a second thought. But he would also stand up to me if I told him to do something morally wrong. 2 exo-gene is considering hiring him as a locator." Kurt looked at Eric who shrugged. "I'm not supposed to tell you that but I've broke a few rules already by talking about it here in the first place." Kurt spoke. "what is a locator?" Eric smiled and shrugged. "a locator find mutants and tells them about exo-gene. It's their job to give mutants an option to join. This whole mission was not only an investigation but also a test to see if you had some of the qualities of a locator. This particular mission tested, you ability to follow requests and know when to stay out of things. You could have asked to come to the lab but you didn't and when I asked you not to ask about the job you didn't. a locator needs to know when to take no for a answer and when to know not to get involved with another mutants affairs. We're not heroes, just give people a chance at a better life."

Eric turned to Xavier. "Look you don't approve of me I'm used to that. Even exo-gene has a small problem with how I do thing but I get the job done so they don't say anything. Sooner or later people are going to learn about what goes on behind these walls and when they do it's not going to be pretty. I'm working so that we don't have to hide." With that he turned and began to walk away. Once he was at the door he stopped and looked at the room. "the lines between good and bad are starting to blur Xavier are you sure your fighting the right person?" with that he closed the door and was gone. S slowly the group's eyes turned to Kurt. Xavier spoke first. "Why did you go with him?" Kurt stood up and rolled his eyes. "Why should I tell you? You've already decided what you want to hear. You've already passed judgment on Eric's choices. I did what I did because Eric asked me to join him no other reason. Well I suppose I did want to go to Greece. No if you don't mind I have to study what we missed, during our trip." And with that Kurt 'bamfed' out of the library and into Eric's room. Eric was next to his door and looked up as Kurt 'entered' the room. Eric was crouched down over a small tripod with a spinning circular top. Kurt raised an eyebrow and Eric spoke. "Physic nullifier. I don't want Xavier or jean to 'eves drop on what we're doing in here." Kurt raised his eyebrow even higher as Eric moved away from the tripod and laid himself down on his bed. "Just what will we be doing in this room that you don't want people to see?" Eric smiled and pulled Kurt's tail in to a huge hug. "Why Kurt, anything we want. It's my room after all." Kurt felt his skin heat up as Eric ran the end of his tail around his neck and finally took the tip of it into his mouth, letting out a slight 'mmmm' as he did so. Kurt let out a slight moan as he felt Eric's tongue slid slowly across the sensitive skin on his tail. after a few minutes Kurt moved closer to Eric and began to slowly scratch his head. This continued for several hours until the sky had turned dark blue as the sun finally vanished behind the mountains. Slowly Kurt turned to Eric and nuzzled closer. Eric smiled and pulled Kurt closer. "Tonight I think I'd like it if we spent another night together." Kurt looked at him for a moment and then nodded. Shortly after that Eric and Kurt found themselves snuggled closely together and fast asleep.

When the sun rose into the morning sky it had a very, a perfect view into Eric's room. This gave it the unobstructed view of 2 lovers fast asleep, in the same bed. Kurt woke first to find himself with his arms, legs and tail wrapped tightly around his sleeping boyfriend Eric Tooms. Slowly both of them began to stir and wake up. Kurt Wagner stood up and stretched only to be pulled back down into bed by Eric. "it's to early to wake up." Kurt raised an eyebrow, and smiled. "not all of us can do work and still sleep. I have training with the team and then homework to do." Eric rolled his eyes and turned over so he was lying on his back. "Well if you have to don't let this stop you." Kurt was about to ask what Eric was talking about when Eric grabbed him and pulled him into a deep kiss. Kurt felt his body, begin to relax as the kiss prolonged itself. After several second Kurt and Eric broke apart from lack of air. Eric had on a slight smirk on his face as he looked at the slightly dazed Kurt. Kurt felt like his head was spinning, in the clouds. He couldn't help but smile a slightly dazed smiled. Still smiling Kurt got up out of the bed and shook his finger at Eric. "Now none of that, I really have to go. You don't want Scott to be any madder at you. Do you?" Eric shrugged and rolled over back onto his stomach. "well, when you put it like that, yes. It's kind of fun to see him grasping at straws in the dark, trying to find something on me." Kurt shook his head and shrugged. "You've got a bit of a mean streak in you Eric Tooms." Eric shrugged and pulled the covers over his head. Kurt rolled his eyes and after a few minutes emerged from Eric's room fully clothed and ready to start the day. Eric sighed and sat up the bed covers falling revealing his well toned chest and stomach. Sighing Eric got up and let the covers fall back to the bed in a heap.

Eric stretched and sleepily made his way to the bathroom. After several minutes of morning chores he emerged and stretched again. Still yawning Eric sat down at his desk and pulled up a dozen screens and began to work. He was behind on several reports and he had not had any time to do them in the last 2 months, because he had been so occupied with spending time with Kurt. Smiling to himself Eric pulled up a dozen reports and began to work on them he had just sent them when an audio file pooped up from Bio. "Hey Eric just thought you should know exo-gene finally found a match for the dead girl's DNA. Her name is Alice Cullen. (There will be no cross over.) She was doing research on bio chemical reactions. He focus was miniature poison canisters. We crosschecked a substance found on her fingertips and found that it matches the trace chemicals found on the devise used to kill Jason. We think we may have found who built the canister but not who made her do that. Also we checked her outgoing workloads. She was sending regular updates to a private URL account. We're looking into that right now. Just thought you should know. Bye." As the file closed Eric pulled up his local security system. This system monitored all forms of communications in and out of his home. In this case the mansion itself. After checking all the files he closed it and doubled the systems, protection. After he had done that he pulled up his RFG or his random frequency generator. After several seconds a secure link opened and he found himself looking into bio's lab. After a moment bio appeared in his screen, and spoke.

"Hey Eric did you get the file I sent you?" Eric nodded and leaned back in his chair. 'yeah. So Alice built the devise that killed Jason." It was more of a statement then a question. "well it's nice to know who killed him but who killed her? There are to many unknown bio. And you know me I don't like unknowns. For instance how did she send the reports without our security screens noticing? Check for ghost files, use the company wide scanner. I don't care if the files in china I want it found. Is that clear?" bio nodded and the screen closed. Eric had just turned to get some breakfast when a slight chill crawled up his back. Eric shrugged it off and made his way down to eat. He had just fixed himself a plate of toast and sat down when his phone went off. Eric sighed and put down the piece of toast he had been about to eat. "hello?" it was Lucy and she was hysterical, she was talking faster then Eric could understand. "Lucy calm down. What's going on?" on the other side of the line Lucy took a deep breath and spoke in a barely controlled voice. "several men just pulled fisk into their van and drove off. They had government plates, and had automatic weapons. We need help." Eric stood up. The other mutants in the room looked at him. "where are you now?" as lucy spoke Eric was quickly running from the kitchen, to the garage. "Lucy I'll be there in a second. Just hold on." With that Eric hung up and gunned the engine of his bike. Eric blasted out of the garage and down the street. After several minutes Eric pulled up next to Lucy who was shakily standing on the side of the road. Al around her people gave her questioning looks and several looks of hatred. Eric pulled Lucy onto his bike and once again shot off into the streets barely missing a ford that had turned into their way. Several minutes later Eric and Lucy pulled into the exo-gene parking lot.

eric and lucy burst through the door of bio's lab and drew looks form dozens of the scientists there. eric charged over to bio who was looking at a dozen nubers running across the screen of his computer. "fisk has been kidnapped." bio looked up and spoke. "are you sure?" eric raised an eyebrow. "you know me bio. i dont joke about this kind of stuff." bio nodded and let out a loud sigh. bio walked over to another computer and typed in a dozne comands. the split second later the diagram of the blob pooped up. bio typed in another comand and a small red dot appeared on the screen. bio tunred to them. "it looks like who ever took him has him at alkite lake. that's an old weapon X lab. we need to hurry. No telling what their doing to him." eric nodded and tapped a small button, on the wall next to them. "attention all exo-gene security forces, assemble in the debreifing hall. this is a red situation, i repeat this is a red situation." eric closed the link and looked to lucy. "lucy why dont you go and lay down you look horible." lucy shook her head. "no. i need to help fisk. he's my brother." eric sighed closed his eyes, and spoke. "you'll forgive me for this later." eric's hand blurred forward and hit lucy squarly on the jaw. lucy dropped like a stone into eric's already opened arms. bio chuckled and helped eric pull lucy over to a small bed in the corner of the room. after eric put lucy's tail on her chest he looked at bio. "if she wakes up, have your will done. cause she may just kill us both." bio nodded and both of them made their way to the debriefing room. Once there they both sat down and waited. Several minutes later 2 people walked in and joined them on was a boy. His skin was ghostly pale and his brown hair was drapped across one side of his face hiding one of his eyes. The boy was about 21 years old and had an air of knowledge about him. The other person was girl about 119 years old. She had sandy blonde hair and sat down on the table instead of in a chair. Both of her eys were a pale white color making it obvious that she was blind. Yet she had not problem finding anything. Her eyes shown with another worldly knowledge, and gave her a powerful feeling. Eric spoke first. "David, Jessie thank you for coming. As you already know fisk black has been kidnapped by weapon-x. I've called you here today to find out if we can mount an effective response force in the next 12 hours or not." With that Eric sat back down and turned to David. After several moments of thought David stood up and sighed.

"it will be hard but we could do it. Right now we have only a few droppers ready for lift off. We could get maybe 5 more fueled up every hour. But we will not be ready within the 12 hour deadline you've set us. If you want to help fisk before then you will need to gather more droppers and men. Eric nodded and pulled out his phone. After hitting speed dail #9, he waited. A moment later someone picked up and Eric spoke. "hey tony I'm calling in a favor. Well… I need."

0000000000000000000000000

AN: oooohhh cliffhanger. Does anyone know who tony is? Let me know what you think.
