Unwanted Guests
"Doorbell!" Kitty yelled out to the nearly empty mansion.
Due to recent events, Xavier had sent home nearly all the students. He didn't want to risk any of them getting hurt or killed. The only people left at the mansion were the X-Men.
It was a Friday night so the X-teenagers had rented a movie and were sitting in the Rec-room watching it
Since Scott didn't want anyone else to go missing he had forbidden the teenagers from answering the door.
After a few moments, the doorbell rang again. Wanda frowned. "Is anyone getting that?" She voiced her thoughts.
Jubilee repositioned herself, from where she was sitting on the sofa. "Just ignore it. I hate it, when people interrupt movies." Jubilee focused back onto the movie. The doorbell rang out again.
John stood up. "Screw this! I'm going to go answer it." He started to walk out of the room.
Bobby stood up too. "John, were not supposed to answer the door."
John looked back at him, a smirk coming onto his face. "Do you always do as your told?" He left the room.
Bobby frowned when he remembered when he had heard John say that line before. With a scowl, Bobby left the room, following John, towards the main foyer. Jubilee stood up and raced after her boyfriend.
Wanda sat up. "This movie was getting boring anyways." She quietly walked out. Pietro raced after his sister.
Kitty looked at Piotr. "Should we, like, follow them?" She asked.
Peter looked at the now empty room. "Might as well."
They got up and Kitty grabbed Peter's hand and they phased through the floor into the main foyer, just as everyone else was entering. The doorbell rang once more.
"Were coming!" Wanda screamed. "Learn some patience!" She muttered. She hexed the door, so it swung wide open. The teenagers stood, gaping at who was standing at the door.
Wanda was first to recover. "You blue-skinned bitch! What the Hell are you doing here?" She started to march over to Mystique.
John quickly grabbed Wanda's wrist. "Calm down." He whispered.
Pietro was fuming. "Who the Hell do you think you are? You can't just come here!"
Jubilee looked annoyed. "Go away! Thanks to you, Rogue is missing!"
Mystique rolled her eyes and entered anyways. Following behind her were three teenagers. One had dark brown hair and looked about nineteen. Another had green skin and green hair and looked to be twenty. The last one was huge and had red hair. He was probably around twenty-three.
Peter stood in front of the others, being the oldest of all of them. "You have no right being here. You have three seconds to leave." He started to turn his skin to metal. "One." Mystique didn't even blink. "Two." The boys with Mystique started to shuffle their feet. Just as Peter was about to say 'three' they heard a voice behind them talk.
"Ah, Raven. How nice of you to drop by." The teenagers looked behind them to Professor Xavier wheeling into the room. Behind him were Scott, Ororo, Jean, Hank, Kurt and the new recruits, Betsy and Yuriko.
The look on the Professor's face was stern as if he didn't trust her. Judging by the looks of the others, they were annoyed that Mystique would even dare showing her face there. Mystique ignored the glares she was receiving. "I have come to deliver a message from my dear friend, Irene Alder." She smiled coyly.
Xavier's eyes shone with confusion. "Destiny?" He asked.
Mystique nodded. "She has foreseen a prophecy that is soon going to unfold. She wanted me to deliver it. It is confusing, but I believe I have figured it out." She gave a triumphant smile and lowered her hood.
Scott crossed his arms. "What's the prophecy?" He asked impatiently.
Mystique yellow eyes glinted. "An enemy will soon awaken. He shall use one to gain power. The fate of this one is death. Four will disappear and become his loyal followers. These four will cause destruction. The strongest will survive, the weak shall parish and mutants will rule the world, under his command."
Realization crept onto Xavier's face. Mystique gave another smile. "Figured it out yet?"
Xavier breathed one word. "Apocalypse"
Kitty looked flabbergasted. "Okay! What's Apocalypse and what the Hell does this prophecy mean?"
Jubilee silenced her with a glare. "We'll find out in a second!" She said sharply.
One of the Brotherhood teenagers chuckled. Xavier eyes flickered to them. "Care to introduce your new team mates?"
Mystique looked disgruntled. "I would prefer if you stayed out of my head, Xavier." She hissed menacingly. "This is Avalanche." She indicated to the one with brown hair. "That's Toad" She pointed to the one with green skin. "And that's Blob." She looked back at Xavier. "We are the New Brotherhood."
Xavier looked at Mystique. "You wish for a place to stay?" He asked, but already knew the answer.
Mystique crossed her arms. "Yes. We would like to stay in secluded part of the mansion." She replied.
Xavier nodded to Jean. "Show them to south wing of the mansion." Jean nodded her head and left the foyer, the Brotherhood following closely behind.
Xavier's head dropped slightly. Scott walked over so he stood next to the Professor. "Professor, are you alright?"
Xavier looked up. "I fear that Apocalypse is coming Scott." He sighed. "Can you contact your brother? We will need all the help we can get when he awakens."
Scott nodded his head and left the room. Storm stood in front of the Professor. "If your looking for all the help you can get, we could call Sam Gurthie."
Xavier nodded his head. "Yes, call him, will you Storm? It's time he was made an X-Man. He's been looking forward to it for a long time." Storm left the room with Hank.
Betsy looked upset. "What about Warren? Aren't we going to get him back?" She whispered.
Xavier smiled reassuringly. "I will continue using Cerebro to locate him and the others, Betsy." Betsy smiled and left the room with the other adults.
The teenagers, stood dumbstruck. John finally broke the silence. "So does anybody know what this Apocalypse guy is?" He asked nobody in particular.
A voice whispered sternly in their heads. Go back to your movie The teenagers took the Professor's advice and went back to the rec-room.
A/N: Right, I know this chapter is a little bizarre but it's the beginning of something big as you can probably tell... anywho... in our next chapter we find Mystique and Storm each have a little secret... hence the title of the chapter being 'secrets', but I would like a few reviews please
