Chapter 14: Pete Wisdom
I don't own anything
Hank McCoy had a habit, no matter who his patient was he always took a DNA sample from them.
Ever since finding out that Kurt was Mystique's son Hank would put the DNA samples into machines that were running 24/7 it would analyze the DNA and if there were and genetic matches the information would begin to print out.
This machine was actually where he stored his samples, it was constantly looking for new matches and Hank McCoy had taken Rogue's DNA, although he had forgotten to put it in his machine it would only be hours before a secret that would impact the lives of the Xmen forever would be unearthed.
The DNA sample was currently just sitting on Hank's desk but it would soon be ready.
In the conference room the Xmen were still looking at Magneto, Rogue, and X23 suspiciously. The Brotherhood was just waiting to see what would happen.
It had taken 15 minutes before X23 and Rogue had explained most of the plan to them, the ray would make them lose control of their powers and the powers would harm innocents, mutants would be tagged and maybe even killed, but they soon realized that there were gaps in the information.
Rogue and X23 had immediately started hacking the military files as soon as they realized this and the Xmen could only watch in awe while the Brotherhood again, only observed (with the exception of Pyro who had started to make fire animals).
Soon the two had drawn up plans for the machines and they realized that they hadn't gotten a full dose, the military plot reached far beyond what they had thought.
The beam that they had been hit with had only been a tester course and the test had succeeded.
A second beam would be fired and this one would be 20 fold stronger and it wouldn't just be hitting Bayville it would cover the entire globe.
After that beam was fired another machine would be sent into space and attached to a satellite this would fire something that would allow the effects of operation Cataclysm to become permanent.
The satellite would have the original machine with the yellow beam attached to it and both would work forever to make sure that new generations of mutants would also be incapable of using their powers.
X23 had been suspicious of Eric at first but Rogue had assured her that she trusted him with her life and that he wouldn't betray them.
Soon all of the mutants were sitting around the circular table and through some fluke Logan had ended up in between the two scantily clad leather-wearing assassins.
They ignored him but any time he has much as looked either of their ways they would both growl with such fury that it was unimaginable.
They all sat in the circle buried in their own thoughts Logan raised his arm to grab a cigarette from his shirt pocket and accidentally brushed Rogue's shoulder she had her claws at his neck before he could put his hand down.
Tired of the random glares he grabbed her arm and yelled "Look kid I don't know what your problem is but I-" He had grabbed her bare arm and fell to the floor in a heap.
Unfortunately the beams effects were still only fading, so she cringed as her body was overcome by pain trying to act normal Rogue delved into her own mind.
She saw Logan's psyche and the only thing stopping her from killing him was the fact that getting revenge in the real world would be more satisfying and the risk of a battle in her mind of such high intensity could easily cause her brain damage.
She roughly grabbed the psyche and threw it into one of the "cells" that she had created to hold the imitation of him.
The Imitation looked at her, pain evident in its eyes, it screamed
"KID IM SORRY, GOD IM SO SORRY I DIDN'T KNOW, PLEASE IM SO SORRY!"
His pain filled words filled her with venom
"How dare he say that! After all he did he expect forgiveness?!"
She put a layer of concrete around the cell and left her mind.
She opened her eyes to see X23 staring at her and Eric moving to help her, she had only been out for a few seconds; no one had realized what she had just done.
Looking at Logan's body in disgust, she glanced at the others only to realize that Cyclops had started raging on about how she had attacked Wolverine, she continued to ignore him and started to wonder about where she could get some new clothes.
Magneto interrupted Scott's tirade "The oaf touched her first, Anna acted in self defense. Cease your aggravating squealing at once so that we may continue with more important matters"
Rogue couldn't help but think that at times like this she really did love her "Grandfather"
Scott started to sputter indignities but was silenced with a look from the professor.
Logan was starting to awaken, when he had crawled up to his chair both Rogue and X went to stand by Magneto (After hearing him call Logan an oaf he gained a measure of respect from X) but not before giving the hairy man a couple of cold hard glares.
Logan realized whatever it was that made them hate him so much was not going to be uncovered anytime soon so he settled for a slight grunt.
Xavier began to talk
"We must have a plan; this machine could destroy mutant kind. We have seen the test subject from this plot in the files and we must do something about it. I believe that we will all have to work together for this. So I implore you to set aside your differences for now".
He turned to Eric "Magnus what shall we do?"
"You should ask Ro-Anna, she knows about this she shall be in charge of this mission".
Now some others began to protest, they too were silenced with a glare from Rogue, even with a mask she was scary.
Staking the podium Rogue began to talk once more masking her voice.
" We will divide into teams, one team will be with me to help recruit some old friends, the next team will start working on something that will counter the effects of this project, third team will be there for media control and having a lawyer ready in case something goes wrong, we can't have any mistakes not in the field and not in the court, forth team will be here getting the med bay ready for the mutants who will be coming from the testing labs, Fifth will be recruiting old allies of the Xmen. Everyone got it?"
She gave everyone a quick nod and looked around, there weren't enough people here. "Some of the teams will have the younger kids from outside in them, we need the manpower"
The teams were:
Team 1
Rogue
Gambit
Scarlet Witch
X23
Pyro
Quicksilver
Avalanche
Recruiting Rogue and X's old "friends"
Team 2
Beast
Colossus
Magneto
Countering the effects of the beam
Team 3

Scott
Media/law control and dig up some more information
Team 4
Wolfsbane
Storm
Magma
Multiple

Team 5

Shadowcat
Recruiting Xmen allies
Once Rogue had given out the teams and the assignments she told them that after all of the mutants had succeeded they were to meet back at the institute. She had also told the Xmen that her friends were less then lawful and that they better deal with it.
Soon the teams were getting ready but Eric intervened before they were ready to leave
"Anna it would be wise for you to change into something more appropriate, your friend too. Your clothing is barely hanging on to you"
It was then that many of the men in the room actually took note of the two women's state of undress, many of the males flushed and looked away but others merely drooled.
It was a miracle that Rogue hadn't hurt anyone yet.
Ten minutes later the two were given some clothing donated by Boom Boom when she found out that they had volunteered her for a real mission.
Rogue wore a pair of black leather pants and a corset top with a leather jacket.
X wore also wore a pair of black pants but her were made of an thick canvas and a skintight dark blue top.
Team One was given the X-jet while Team Five took the jeep since they only had to go a little out of town.
When Rogue's team got into the jet Rogue took the captains seat and warmed up the engine, it was Pietro who asked the question that they had all been wondering "why did you pick us for this team, the Brother Hood in particular? Why us?"
"Because Ah can stand you" Rogue hadn't realized that she had let a bit of her southern twang shine through but thankfully no one noticed. Avalanche asked the next question "Where are we going anyway?" Rogue turned to face him while adjusting her mask "Europe"
"We will start of by going to England then, Scotland, and Ireland," X looked up at her curiously "you know where they all are?"
"The ones that are still alive"
"You kept in contact with them?"
"No but it was good to know where they were, everyone's separated at least the ones who are still alive"
"Oh-How are they?"
"Bets is fine, Pete will probably be drunk, and Luke….he's locked up"
"We'll free him"
The Brotherhood noticed the air of sadness that hung in the air as they continued the conversation so they wisely stayed quiet.
The jet landed in the middle of a field and soon everyone tumbled out, they had just gone from New York to England in less than an hour.
Rogue lightly tugged at her shirt nervously but started to walk out of the field with no other signs of her emotional unease.
When they had finally gotten off of the road they came to a small city. Pyro was beginning to complain and Gambit looked like he was about to die so Rogue dragged them to a small restaurant, getting more than a few odd looks because of the mask on her face.
Half an hour later they left the place and Rogue decided that they were drawing far too much attention they rushed to the nearest store and everyone changed from their uniforms. Their clothes were rumpled and stained from the flight there was no time to tidy up, so shopping was the fastest solution, especially since Xavier left his credit card in the jet.
Pietro wore a pair of white jeans and a skintight blue shirt. Lance wore a pair of jeans and a plain white tee. Pyro came out in Black pants and a shirt that looked like it was encircled by flames. Wanda wore a pair of black pants and a blood red blouse. Remy wore a pair of faded jeans and a black shirt and his dark brown duster. X came out in black canvas pants and a dark blue sleeveless top, Rogue wore her same leather pants and a dark sleeveless green shirt that ended right below her breasts with black mesh underneath. She had replaces the mask with a black scarf with two holes in it for her eyes, the she tied back her hair and covered it with a scarf that dangled down to her waist.
Now they just looked like a bunch of weirdo teenagers. They walked to a pub that was hidden behind an alley way.
Rogue looked around the ignoring the puzzled looks from her companions finally getting frustrated she walked over to the bar tender she growled while hauling him up from the scruff of his shirt, "Wisdom, where is he?" the man stuttered a little and pointed to the door.
She dropped him and walked outside again. She walked a couple of blocks occasionally muttering about sex crazed morons and how she would castrate this one, obviously she had made sense of the garbled mutterings of the barkeeper and knew exactly where to go.
She finally stopped at a ramshackle inn stormed in; ignoring the clerks protest she climbed the stairs and sniffed a couple times when she reached the third floor. The others were panting behind her due to the speed that she had gone at earlier, even Pietro looked flushed.
A couple sniffs later she stopped at a door and even those with normal hearing could hear the moaning and sighing along with the light crashes that came from behind the door.
Everyone had an idea to what was behind the door and looked a bit appalled at the idea of barging in on some unsuspecting couple, John even went to stop Rogue from entering but Laura released her claws with a light warning.
Rogue tore the door off of its hinges and revealed a man with two women groping at each other. The three continued not even noticing what had happened. Rogue grew disgusted at seeing the man and actually grabbed one of the women's hair and yanked hard effectively tearing her off.
The man got up and the other women shrieked. Rogue let the woman go and glared at her "out, the both of ya" the two scrambled for their clothing seeing the glare that was directed towards them and the man (who looked super pissed) was taking a good look at her, rubbing his eyes over and over again as if trying to decipher the reality of the image.
Finally he got up and wrapped the sheets around him " Damn girl, you act dead for a bloody decade and then you pop up right when I was getting a good shag!"
"Wisdom, get over it"
"Why the bloody hell should I? I was enjoyin myself!"
"I'm reorganizing the team, its time the Vivres were reorganized"
"…."
"Why"
"Things are getting dangerous"
"I know that, but why now? After disappearing for so long, why now?"
"I'll explain later, are you in or not?"
"Wot do you think?"
"Good"
"Where have you been?"
Rogue looked away and sighed "around" both of them were quiet and then he noticed that Laura was there as well " Bloody hell, X you're alive!... And she dragged you into this as well?"
"She said all of us"
"I saw you die"
"Things aren't always what they seem"
"That's not clichéd"
"You're taking this rather well"
"Oh don't worry, seeing the two of you alive and interrupting my shags is making me freak out on the inside, I'll zonk out later"
"The alcohol helps too"
"Yeah being piss drunk, (completely smashed really) does 'elp a bit"
He turned to the other behind Rogue and X
" 'ello all th'names Pete Wisdom how do you do" with that he dropped his sheet (making the guys wince and Wanda, X, and Rogue all stare). After that his eyes rolled back and he collapsed onto the floor.

Dear Readers,
This letter is to inform you about a terrible thing, the discontinuation of a marvelous story. Years ago I read a story called Promise of the PI. This story was under the Inuyasha/Sesskag category. Months ago I had the urge to go back and read the story and found that it had been deleted. After weeks of searching I was extremely depressed, I contacted Tsubasa and tormented her, Thank the gods that she reposted, and with a lot more than I had ever read. Then she said she would update the story on one condition and that was if she got 500 reviews, it bound to be a pain in the bum to get but I am determined to get them for her. I started a petition to get signatures from 500 people but unfortunately she wants reviews. I have reviewed for every chapter under various names and calculated how many times it would take me to review and under how many computers but I I would like to beg and plead for your help please review to the story! It's a waste to leave the story and it deserves recognition but it won't get it without help. For readers of my story every time 1 review is sent there and someone tells me I will update immediately. No questions asked whether it's your review or not, just as long as the numbers rise. Don't let this happen to an amazing story. Send this to all sesskag fans or email me
