"Okay okay." Maverick stood slowly form his chair and winced as Scott lead him to the door, "But if this doesn't work, I'll kill you myself."
"It'll work." Logan assured him with a nod, "and if it doesn't you'd be dead."
"Logan." Antalya scolded helping lower her friend into the chair as Rogue removed her glove and extended her hand to Logan, "She's done this before."
"Are you sure?" He asked trying to sound brave.
"Yes I'm sure." She kissed his forehead, "Have fun."
"God." He muttered as Rogue reached out and touched his shoulder as Logan grabbed her hand.
Logan closed his eyes and let his healing powers be drawn away and help Maverick. Antalya looked at them and grinned. Her men, helping each other.
Rogue withdrew her hand and Logan blinked backing up as Maddy ran into the room.
"There are military people on the front lawn." She cried out shakily, "and they shot Michael!"
Xavier turned around and sighed.
"Get everyone ready Storm. "He called and Storm ran out. "Logan are you fit?"
"Of course." He said running out snagging Maverick's hand, "Come on kid let's go."
Antalya ran after them her hair flying out behind her. Quickly finding a hair tie in her room she tied back her hair and looked at it for a minute. It was down to her lower back even though it was tied back. She sighed and picked up a pair of scissors taking it in front of her face and cutting it off at her shoulder blades. Smiling she picked up the hoodie she got and let her hair down. Seeing it hung uniformly she hummed to herself as she joined the others in the lobby, the spotlights lighting the windows and doors.
"What's going on?" She asked as she reached Logan's side. He looked at her hair for a moment before grunting.
"Waiting for orders." He whispered in her ear.
"Okay Antalya and Maverick come here." Storm called and she cursed under her breath.
"Yes ma'am?" She asked coming to her side.
"You two will take first offensive." She pointed to them and a few other adults, "Scott will be with Logan while Jean and I will have your right and left. I want you two to wrap around the back of them. Press them to the center and the kids will finish them off okay?"
"Yes ma'am." Maverick saluted and Antalya grabbed his hand teleporting them to the other side of the clearing where the back of the military squad waited in the dark.
"What exactly are we fighting against?" He asked quietly. She shrugged.
"I think we should act drunk and take them by surprise." She suggested, he looked at her sidelong rolling his eyes, "You got any better ideas Maverick?"
"Unfortunately no." He sighed and glared at her, "Let's get this over with."
They began to stumble around, running into trees and attracting the attention of the back line. It took all of Antalya's willpower not to laugh.
"Now you see Marvin," she slurred grabbing his arm and tripping, "I think that when you walk into the White House that they'll just tell you to leave."
"No," he shook his head and pointed at the gun in a confused militia men's hand. "I think that they'll surround you and…" He mashed his hands together and made banging and crashing noises, "… with their guns."
"You!" She pointed at one of them who raised an eyebrow as the others sniggered. He came forward and Antalya put a hand against his chest finger pointing into his sternum. "What would happen if I walked into the White house?"
"Well…" He began to say and stopped as Antalya extended her claws just enough to impale his heart.
"You don't look so hot bro." Maverick smiled as she looked into his eyes and blinked her own eyes changing colors and then going back to blue. The man screamed and the back line rushed to his aid.
Maverick and Antalya backed up and began to stalk around the outer edge of the circle.
"It looks like he was stabbed." The nearest one turned to Antalya who was now standing tall her hands clasped behind her back. "Miss, did you stab him?"
"Yes I did." She nodded and smiled as Maverick stopped on the opposite side pulling out his knife. They all froze and looked at her. One reside a gun and aimed it at her head.
"Um, Why?" He asked confused.
"And how man?" The one with the gun at her head shouted glaring at her.
"With these." She raised her hand and turned the palm away from them shooting out her claws, "Oh Yeah I'm a mutant, bitch!"
"Holy mother of god." One of them whispered as the fighting started.
"May Day May Day. "One yelled into a walkie talkie as Maverick attacked form his side.
"Excuse me." Antalya smiled and stabbed him in the throat, "No problem here."
A shout from behind her got her attention as Kyle appeared out of nowhere and punched out a soldier. Antalya whipped around in time to dodge a bullet shot at her. The shooter gaped at her as she jumped, and or teleported, to his side jamming her fist into his face and severing his brain. As she fell she picked up the gun and shot a few of the remaining back line. Antalya looked over at the crowd of muzzle flares and spotlights seeing the entire school had joined in the fight. Antalya caught a glimpse of Logan or Wolverine by the looks of it, fighting side by side with Doctor McCoy or Beast.
"Antalya!" Maverick shouted and she turned around in time to grab a blade that was headed her way. Wincing as her hand was sliced she flipped it out of the man's grasp and stabbed him with a growl. Maddy broke a nearby man's neck with her feet and flipped over kicking his neighbor in the face. She turned to check on her team mates.
"There's too many." She whispered to herself in the chaos of battle.
Looking around she tried to find Maverick. She found him under fire his blasts of light only holding off so many.
She saw a sniper laser on his forehead and froze.
"No!" Antalya shouted as she heard the fire of a rifle.
And The Bullet froze inches from his forehead.
Antalya looked at it and sent it back to where it came from. It flipped in mid air and sped back in the other direction. A small explosion sounded and Antalya blinked furrowing her eyebrows and getting back to the fight.
She felt a rush of air behind her as a dark blue smoke trickled form behind her. A solid body formed and began to fight back to back.
"Watch yourself Kurt." She muttered and felt the man chuckle.
"Watch yourself Antalya." He mumbled back. She impaled a man before seeing several other soldiers start to run away.
"They're retreating!" she shouted and a shout came up from the front. Ice began to rain from the sky and Antalya smiled.
"Oh Storm." She sighed and blinked as the area flashed bright blue. She blinked and staggered a hand catching her shirt and pulling her upright.
"We found you." A voice whispered into her ear. A flash of what she saw with the Professor came into her mind. The grey haired man picking her up. "Time to be activated."
Something was jammed into her neck and she gasped as he depressed the plunger on the syringe pouring all its contents into her veins. Gasping she grabbed at the person behind her, her claws failing to come out. Her eyes rapidly changed colors before settling on an unnatural electric blue. Her eyes rolled back into her head and she fell to the ground twitching as the man retreated into the swiftly leaving crowd.
"Stryker." She mumbled as she saw Kurt's face. She smiled lightly as he blinked and teleported off. She coughed and sat up her head spinning and wondering why Kurt didn't come help her.
Antalya looked around as Maverick ran his hand thorough his hair and surveyed the now empty area except for several corpses.
"Maverick!" She looked up as Logan ran into the clearing, sweaty and panting, "Have you seen Talya?"
"Over here!" She called raising a weak hand. He turned and ran to her side helping her stand.
"You okay?" He asked looking into her bright blue eyes.
"Fine." She nodded knowing the lie would fool him, "Just a little banged up."
"Mav!" He called over his shoulder and Antalya's vision dimmed slightly, "Help me with her I need to make sure she doesn't pass out on me!"
"I won't pass..." she muttered before having her vision tunnel completely and felt herself fall, unconscious before hitting the ground.
