Hey guys! Here's another chapter continuing on from the main story line. Hope you guys enjoy. As usual, I'm open to suggestions and any plot twists you'd like to see.
Certainly Unexpected part 2
With another glance behind him, Nova flew Bonnie and Mia into the vent. Kayla went to the door the scientist came through and crept out on the search for Marcus.
Outside the room, there was a dimly lit, narrow hallway with dull grey walls. It only led in one direction. She sprinted down it, turn left, then right, right again, until she reached a large, metallic door, guarded by five guards.
"Get her!" shouted one as they raced up to her, only to be knocked to the side like an insect.
"We can do this the easy way," Copycat drawled. "Or the hard way." She shed her retractable claws.
The men glanced at each other, then charge all at once.
Cat sighed. "Hard way it is." She flipped over the men just as they were about to reach her and slashed their backs, causing them to fall to the ground in pain. "Actually that was pretty easy. Now how to get past this door…"
Spotting a key card protruding from a guard's jacket, she grabbed it and swiped the lock with it. The doors moved apart to show a large room the size of a sports hall. The walls were metal and there was different, giant pieces of equipment everywhere. And at the end, chained to the wall, was an unconscious Marcus.
"Please don't be dead…" muttered Cat, running towards the limp figure.
"Please… umph!"
Lily was standing in front of me. Her white hair was slightly rustled and she had her bow in hand.
"Hello again Cat. Where do you think you're going?" she grinned maniacally.
"Let him go Lily," growled Cat. "He didn't do anything wrong."
Lily smiled wider. "I know." Lightning quick, she loaded her bow and fired an arrow at Kayla, which she narrowly dodged.
"Now, now Lily. Let's show our guest with some manners."
Kayla whipped around to be faced by the man who haunted her nightmares. He was burlier than she remembered, and was now fully bald. "What do you want?"
"Why I've wanted what I have always wanted with you. An alliance," he said with his deep voice.
"Who are you?" asked Cat.
"Why I am the King Pin. Of course you remember our last encounter?"
"How could I forget?" Cat said sarcastically.
"Ah, so you remember that it was ME who made you aware of your powers? We should be working together Makayla. Let's not fight."
"Nobody calls me Makayla!" growled Cat before tossing a stinger at him, causing him to yell out and fall onto his knees.
"Oh no you don't you bitch," snarled Lily, shooting another arrow at my head, which I dodged.
I raced towards her, dodging arrows as I went, until I got close enough to fight. Seeing that it was useless to shoot, Lily dropped her bow and drew a knife. I leapt up and planted my feet into her forearms, which were raised in defence. She retaliated by swiping with her blade which was narrowly dodged. I unsheathed my claws and slashed at her, but was surprised that they just went through her without making a scratch.
Lily laughed. "You like the new touch Cat. You can't touch me when I can just phase through your claws."
She grabbed my neck and threw me to the ground. I back flipped to my feet and drew my sword.
"Oh cat, didn't you hear me? You can't touch…" she was cut off by the side my sword hitting the side of her head.
"My sword's 12% vibranium shit-for-brains. You can't phase through that. Not even Shadowcat can."
I stepped over the unconscious Lily and went to untie Marcus, but a giant hand suddenly wrapped around my neck.
"And where do you think you're going. If you won't work for me, you won't work for anybody," said the Kingpin.
I felt pressure in my side, then pure agony. He dropped me as I writhed in pain, a blade stuck into my side. I gasped for breath, my vision was going blurry. And gradually, the world went black.
…
…
…
…
…
…
I slowly woke, my vision blurry. The only thing that made sense was the voices.
"I don't need permission from you…"
"I'm the closest to family she has so I'm afraid you do…"
"She can choose for herself…"
"You're taking advantage of an attention starved sixteen year old…"
"Ugh, shut the hell up dimwits you're too loud."
Sam and Marcus both turned towards me in surprise and shouted in sync, "Cat!"
"Yep. So what'd I miss?" I asked casually.
"Apart from you being stabbed in the gut?" asked Marcus. "Not much."
"So then what was that all about?" I smirked.
"What was what all about?" retorted Sam.
"Oh, you know, that little conversation you guys had. What could that possibly have been about?" I asked teasingly.
"Nothing!" they yelled in sync, glaring at each other straight after.
I couldn't help but laugh at them. But it was soon replaced with a groan. "Oww!"
"You okay?" asked Sam.
Ugh, yeah. Where was I stabbed?"
"Stomach. Don't worry, you're healing up nicely. The doctor said you were lucky it wasn't your liver or you would've bled out," Sam answered.
"Yep. My luck to get stabbed," I drawled sarcastically.
Marcus sighed. "Same old cat," smirked Marcus.
"Hey who you calling old, jerk," I exclaimed. "You're older than me."
Marcus grin grew. "I was just implying that your reflexes are slower. Didn't mean any offence."
"Oh yeah? Wanna fight?" I growled playfully. "Didn't think so punk ass."
"Didn't think it would've been fair."
"Yeah, on you."
Just then, Fury came in. "I see you're awake. Sorry Marcus, time's up."
"What do you mean?" I questioned.
"I was only allowed to stay until you woke up. Visit when you're better, k?" said Marcus.
"Wouldn't dare not to."
Marcus grinned back before exiting the room with Fury, so I diverted my gaze to Sam.
"Sup?" I ask casually. All I got was a raised eyebrow. I sigh. "I'm sorry for running off like that, but I needed to find him."
Sam walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. "It wasn't your fault. I shouldn't have let you go."
"Sam…"
"No wait. I should have been faster to help you fight them off…"
"Sam…"
"Then you wouldn't…"
"Sam…
"And Kingpin would be…"
And of course, being me, I did the most cliché thing to do. I sat up and brought my lips to his. At first he seemed surprised, but after a second he began to kiss me back, wrapping his hands into my raven hair. I scraped my nails against his scalp, making him growl.
"Are you guys done? Cause I want to speak with Cat without the urge to vomit."
Sam pulled back slowly. "God dammit Luke."
Please review! Also, Im going to as a few questions every chapter so I know what you think and how to make the story better etc.
1) What did you think of the ending?
2) Would you like some more one-shot chapters like the Halloween chapter e.g. Christmas, or would you prefer for it to stick with the main storyline?
I also forgot to thank everyone who sent in their OC's for the last chapter and they will come up again shortly.
