Veronica: " Geez, that was a fucking long ass post, I thought you Bitches were never gonna end... I will admit though it was kind of cool that, That Cable guy blow up the Sentinels but where the hell did he come from."
Juanita: " Do you always have to swear so much? As for where Cable came from, The future apparently, if you read the part explaining who he was but SHHH! We are not supposed to know that yet." ; )
Veronica: " Yes, Yes I do have to swear so much... If you don't like oh well, you can go fuck yourself Cullans and anyone else reading this Bullshit can as well... If you don't like my dirty mouth, then stop reading this crappy ass story because I am sure our brain dead writers will attempt to throw more swear words into my vocabulary before this shitty story comes to an end."
Juanita: " Okay fine, If I am going to go fuck myself... Then you can go fuck Scott Summers... You know you want to you little Slut... It's so obvious that even a blind man could see all the sexual tension between you two... Before you even try to say you are not a Slut, Let's go through the list of men you have hit on since this began: Logan, Hank, Remy, Magneto, that one Guard when you were "Bambi" Johnny something, Smith I think and yes even Scott... Ah, and you had the nerve to call me a two timing Ho and a little Tart for kissing Peter while trying to get with Kurt."
LADIES! Shut up, you both are kind of slutty...We wrote you that way on purpose because it adds in Romantic & Jealousy factors along with more Drama and if we the writers know anything, it is Drama and We love every bit of it too... Oh and Veronica you are right about us making you out as more of a potty mouth in the coming posts but we could careless if you like the story or not... It's like this girls, You both are fictional characters completely up by us the WRITERS...We decide what you say and everything that happens to you and there is not a damn thing you can do about it... So HA! :D
Veronica: "... YOU CAN GO FUCK YOURSELVES TOO, WRITERS!"
Juanita: " Oh Boy... This is not good, I have a feeling It's Cheerleader time..."
You got that right Juanita, Thank your "Friend" for that. She just caused you both to turn into Cheerleaders as soon as the missions we already started come to an end.
Juanita: " Oh I will fucking Thank her alright... Veronica you dumb motherfucking idiot... How dare you get me thrown into this mess with you... Why can't you just keep your goddamn mouth shut, Bitch."
Veronica: " Oooo, Look who is doing all the swearing now... Oh and by the way I have not hit on Scott at least not in the slutty type of way you are thinking Juanita . And you know what, fuck our writers... They are gonna do what they want to do anyways, they just pretty much told us that, so I might as well tell them off."
SLAP!
Oh snap, We didn't think you had it in you to slap Veronica like that, right across the face too... Juanita, A word of advice though... You should probably start running and run now... RUN JUANITA RUN, SHE GONNA GET YOU!
Right, Well while our main characters battle it out with each other, We think it is a good time to finish up Veronica's Mission and get her group to Muir Island with the rest of the X-Men, so that we can finally be done with all these split off separate stories.
Back in the cabin that for the moment housed Wolverine, The Beast, and Jean Grey things seemed as normal as ever. Hank McCoy was sleeping peaceful with his big blue furry feet hanging out of the end of his almost to small for him bed. Jean Grey was still out due to the Mental Bolt Veronica had to gave her in order to stop the raging Phoenix from clawing its way out of Jean, due to Scott Summers poor choice in wording in regards to his feelings towards the lovely Miss. Emma Frost.
Logan on the other hand was finding sleep rather impossible this night, something in the back of his mind was keeping him more or less awake. He could not quite put his finger on the problem but he was certain it had something to do with the newest, most aggravating yet somehow captivating member on this trip.
Wolverine kept feeling himself being pulled in by this girl and he was not sure how much he liked that feeling. His love life had been nothing but a tragic sadden tale of mishaps. To say that it made Logan a bit jaded in the ways of love was putting it lightly but yet here he was falling for someone yet again. You would think after everything he went through with Jean and Scott, he would of learned his lesson but at last that is a story for another time.
Right now we find the Wolverine setting alone in the dark kitchen with a cold beer in his hand drowning his sorrows while Hank and Jean were fast asleep in the bedrooms behind him. Logan was about to call it a night and hit the sack, once he was finished downing his sixth beer, when his enhanced hearing picked up on something that sounded allot like a window being shattered. At first he just thought it was Veronica or Scott throwing something at the other, in one of their many many arguments that never seems to end and what was the main reason that brought about the whole purpose of this trip.
He was standing there debating with himself if he should check it out or not when he heard some footsteps behind him, turning around he sees Beast walking half asleep still in his ducky Pajama bottoms to the bathroom. Logan waited for McCoy to finish up in there, when he heard the toilet flush Logan was standing right beside the door when Hank opened it up and ended up jumping backwards almost falling head first into the potty he had just used.
Beast: "Logan, What in the world are you doing... You just about gave me a heartache... Not to mention a very unpleasant swirly... It's what, about 4 in the morning... What's wrong my friend?"
Wolverine: " Not sure Hank, but I could of swore I just heard some glass shatter com'n from the direction of Scotty Boy's Cabin... Not sure if it is only them two at each others throats again or what's gonna on over there... Was think'n bout gonna to check it out but then again, if it's just them fight'n... No real point in goin."
Beast: " I do see your dilemma my impeccable friend, However due to the way their "Fights" usually get out of hand as quickly as they seem too. It's probably best we go and check on them and try to settle the situation down before it escalates after all that is why we were brought along on this trip to begin with, was it not?"
Logan gave what Hank said some thought then just simply nodded in agreement and after Beast changed out of his ducky PJs into something more practical, they set out into the snow heading for the other cabin leaving a still out of it Jean Grey alone inside of the cabin.
Speaking of Miss. Grey, Even though physically her body was asleep to the world around her, Jean's mind was a different story. Inside of her head she found herself floating away, Jean quickly realized that she had Astral Projected herself for some unknown reason and in her sleep nonetheless but the question she asked herself was: What was it she was supposed to be seeing that was so important that her own mental powers, took over her useless body?
Letting herself go, Jean's astral self floated freely out into the wildness. Soaring with the stars in the darken sky above Jean was enjoying the view and trying to reach out to touch one of the stars when out of no where Jean's form started falling downwards. She landed on her feet just outside of an opening that appeared to be a cave entrance.
Jean's Astral Self spotted an eight armed Mutant standing on top of that opening working each of his arms in a blur of motion as he set about shoving large amounts of snow down over the cave entrance. That made Jean wonder why he would do something so silly, so she looked into the opening for the first time and to her surprise she seen her beloved Scott Summers blasting the snow as the eight armed man shoved more down broking his exit out of there.
After awhile the red light Cyclop's blast were sending out ended which meant Scott had stopped shooting probably trying to figure out another way to get out of there. Jean watched as the multiple armed Mutant carefully climbed down the side of the cavern he was on top of and walked to about the middle of the wall, knocked on it three times forming a triangle pattern and out popped this hidden control panel. Jean moved herself closer to him to see what he was punching into the machine. She seen the code he placed in the machine: 287. Jean made a mental note of that number for she felt it might come in handy later on.
The wall in front of the 8 armed man slide open and he want inside, Jean's Astral form was right behind him unbeknown to the Mutant for no one could see her while in the projection. She followed along behind him until she located Scott again only this time she also noticed Veronica in her wheelchair right there beside him, only it looked like she was going to be heading down another pathway. Jean want ahead and let the Mutant she was following go on his way. So that Jean could start stocking Cyclops down the path he had chosen to take.
Eventually they came to a stop and Scott met up with Veronica again. They had some words and before any of them knew what was happening the ground started shaking and a man beast came charging at them. Jean wanted badly to help but could do nothing in the state of mind that she was in but watch as Veronica and Scott fought this horrid creature. The battle didn't last long for the Beast was blasted backwards prompting him to hit a hidden switch which sent both Scott and Veronica falling down a short shaft.
Jean was about to throw herself into the opening in the floor to go after them, but suddenly she felt herself being pulled in a fast track motion backwards at the speed of light and before she could stop herself she was back into her body again and set up in the middle of her bed back into the reality of the cabin.
Hopping out of her bed Jean Grey ran into Logan's room only to find him not there, So she tried Hank's room and he to was gone. Feeling alone and a bit defeated Jean decided to go to check in the cabin of Scott and Veronica's. She prayed that they were still there and that all she had witnessed was just some horrible nightmare. Otherwise those two were in some majorly serious trouble.
Veronica awoke to the sound of Scott yelling beside her. She had no idea what happened, after the floor dropped out from under her and him everything want black. She wasn't even sure where she was right now because everything was still very dark. She could not see anything but she felt something wrapped around her head, thinking it must of been a blindfold Veronica goes to move her arm so that she can take it off only she can't.
At first she panics thinking that the rest of her body became paralyzed along with her legs due to that fall, until she felt the leather bound iron like shackles cut into her skin. She was just strapped down not paralyzed with a sigh of relief Veronica Xavier then turns her attention to the still yelling Scott Summers.
Veronica: " Will you shut the hell up already... Clearly whoever done this to us is not listening or just doesn't care what you want Boy Scout... My head hurts enough as it is without you yelling and going on."
Cyclops: " Veronica, So your crazy ass is here too... Where ever here is... I can't see a thing, I think we might be blindfolded and cuffed down to some tables... I don't like the feel of this place... "
Veronica: " Well no shit Sherlock... I'm a bit on edge here myself... I am not used to feeling so powerless..."
" Aw, but you are not Powerless at all my dear girl nor you Mr. Summers... I assure you, that your powers are working just fine, only you are not able to use them as long as you are strapped to my lab tables... I am sure by now you are wondering exactly why it is I have kept you both alive... Such marvelous powers right in the palm of my hands... Just imagine all that I can do with all that Deoxyribonucleic Acid {{DNA}} the both of you carry."
Veronica felt a cold scaly hand touch her bare stomach and that is when she realized that some if not all of her clothing had been removed. It made her wonder if Scott was just as exposed as she was and for once she was glad she was blindfolded. The last thing Veronica needed was the image of Summer's manhood etched into her head.
She was feeling very uncomfortable with the touching and tried to shift her weight away from the hand that was still on her midriff but Veronica had no room to move and due to her arms being strapped above her head she couldn't go far, thus in the end she had no real choice but to let whoever this was, stroke her like she was his prized pet cat or something.
Cyclops: " Wait a minute I know that voice all to well... SINISTER!"
Mr. Sinister: " Oh Scott I am so flattered that you remember me... Tell me Mr. Summers how is the lovely Jean Grey... I sure do miss spending time with playing with her but it seems I have a more powerful and better bloodline to play with at my disposal laying right next to you... Mmm I can almost feel the Xavier Genes pulsating out of her very pores... It turns me on ever so much..."
Veronica: " Ewww... What the hell is wrong with you... You fucking pervert... Stop touching me already, It just weird and creepy... Let us go... You Sicko, Bastard!"
In responds to her outburst there was nothing but sinister laughter, then they heard footsteps echoing all around the lab room they were apparently stashed in for the time being. There was other beings within the room, to many footsteps for ether Veronica or Scott to gauge just how many were in the lab but the very heavy breathing sounded familiar to them. They knew for sure that one of the other creatures in the room was the Minotaur they fought earlier.
The laughter died down and they heard other sounds like trays being set down and drawers or cabinets opening & closing. If only they were not blindfolded then both Scott and Veronica would not of been as scared as they were and would know exactly what was happening around them.
Veronica was laying there trying to figure out what was going on when she felt something sharp pierce into her abdominal area in the very same place Sinister had been petting her just moments before. She let out a bloodcurdling scream, as the sharp object moved upwards slicing her flesh open. It was when she felt his slimy wet tongue run across the same area licking up her draining blood; That she really wished for the first time her paralysis was in reverse.
Cyclops: " W-What's going on? Sinister you twisted Son of a Bitch... What are you doing to her... Stop whatever it is your doing and stop it right NOW!"
Scott struggled against his restraints trying his hardest to brake free to get his hands on Sinister. He had no idea what the mad man was doing however based on Veronica's screaming it could not of been good. Summers may not of liked her but he has had more then his fair shares in dealing with Mr. Sinister and even he didn't think Veronica Xavier deserved whatever sick morbid treatments that Lunatic was preforming on her.
Sinister stood up from where he was hunched over Veronica, blood running down the corners of his lips. A huge grin spread across his face, if Veronica or Scott could of seen him now, he would of look exactly like a Vampire with his pale skin and Vang like teeth dipping with blood. He did stop for the moment on Veronica having accomplished his goal.
She now laid there with a rather large gash along her left side.
Mr. Sinister now had his sights set on Cyclops with his blood Scalpel in hand. He touches Scott in about the same place as he did Veronica only on the opposite side which would of been his right side. As soon as Summers feels that cold hand on his bare torso he leans up and headbutts Sinister causing him to go backwards onto Veronica. She lets out a moan of agony as Sinister gets back to his feet.
Sinister: " Tsk-Tsk Mr. Summers, Now why did you have to go and do a foolish thing such as that... You leave me no other choice now but to have my associate come and hold you down... I do believe you two have already met but no introductions were made... The "Minotaur" you and Miss. Xavier fought before whining up here in my lab... He was my first so I appropriately named him the only name that came first in the history of mankind... Mr. Summers and Miss. Xavier, I would like to introduce you both to: Mr. Adam Bullman."
The half man, half bull trudged across the room shaking jars with every heavy step he took. He had his gigantic hands wrapped around Scott's neck before Summers even had a chance to turn his blindfolded head in Adam's direction as Mr. Sinister started making an incision on his torso as well.
Veronica could hear Scott gasping for breath as the Minotaur like creature strangled him on the lab table next to hers. Normally Veronica would of enjoyed something like that happening to stupid ass Scott Summers, however her laying there cuffed to a lab table, not able to see a damn thing, on top of bleeding out and freezing. She was more frighten then she has ever been in her entire life, If only her powers were not cut off Veronica would of been able to get a message out to Logan or Hank or even Jean Gray.
All ether of them could do now was lay in the darkness, waiting for whatever it was that next came their way.
Hank and Logan arrived at the other cabin, first things they noticed was the front door standing wide open and one outside window had two holes in it like someone had punched fists through, however more glass seemed to be on the inside then on the outside which made both men think that whoever broke it was not in the cabin at the time. Which didn't make Wolverine or Beast feel all that secure as they keep searching the grounds.
They searched the cabin from top to bottom and found no other signs of what happened to ether Veronica or Scott anywhere within that cabin. No other clues could be found as to what had took place between them. Hank walked out of Veronica's bedroom shaking his head in disappointment behind his good buddy Logan, who was standing in the open doorway with his eyes closed trying to pick on ether of their scents but having no luck.
Beast: " Logan, I don't understand it... We searched every nook and cranny in this place but to no avail... Not even any footprints or tire marks in the snow. Which considering the amount that has been coming down out there this last few hours is no real surprise but still based on the broken window, It's easy to deduce that there was indeed some other intruder on the premises at some point during the night... This direr situation that we find ourselves in, has me very worried."
Just then they both heard the snow crushing outside as a redheaded figure they both knew and loved came running their way almost out of breath. She stops in front of Logan who at this point opened his eyes and Jean Grey placed a hand on his chest to hold herself up, as she bent down feeling the cramp in her leg from having to sprint all the way there in order to catch up with them.
Beast: " Oh my Stars and Garters, Jeanie dear... What's the big rush?"
McCoy flashed her a smile of amusement at his little attempt at a joke, although the smile was not returned by Jean. Once she caught her breath enough to stand up straight she removed her hand off Logan and she did try answer Hank as best she could which was no easy task since Jean herself didn't fully understand everything she want through.
Jean Grey: " It's bit hard to explain Hank... While I was out of it due to Veronica's Mental Bolt which by the way was not cool but I do understand why she done it... Anyways somehow I Astral Projected myself even though I had no real control over my sleeping self... When I was in this form my spirit floated around until I found Scott and Veronica... Oh Hank they might be in some serous trouble, when I came back to my body they were not alone... A half man and half bull like creature was attacking them then caused they to fall below a trap door... I have no idea what happen to ether one, came back before I could see... We have to help them... We just have to... If anything happened to Scott, I don't know what I would do."
Beast: " Hmmm... Fascinating for what you described it sounds like the creature was the Mythological Minotaur, I bet Veronica would of been loving seeing one of those up close had it not been trying to attack her I mean... The love that girl has for Ancient Greek Myths is truly astounding..."
Hank stopped talking when he seen that tears were forming in Jean's eyes so he grabbed a tissue off the counter and handed it to the lass while putting his fuzzy arm around her in a comforting manner. Logan who has said nothing up until this point turned around to face them and simply said:
Wolverine: " Lead the way, Red."
That seemed to dry up Jean's tears, she blow her nose then tossed her used tissue into the trashcan and without hesitation she lead them out into the coldness of the Mountains until they came upon the spot Jean's Projection rested, the very deeply snowed in cave entrance.
Jean Grey: " They are in there somewhere... I am sure of it."
She pointed and Wolverine popped his claws SNIKT! and began digging at the snow.
Beast followed his lead taking his clawed paw like hands and tore at the undetermined amount of snow covering what clearly used to be a cave entrance.
Jean rolled her eyes at the men then walked over to the side where the eight armed mutant had want before. She tapped the wall three times forming a triangle and out came the same code machine she seen in her other form, so she punched the number in.
The wall slid open and Jean walked back over to Hank and Logan who have not even gotten a quarter of the snow out of their way. Jean cleared her throat trying to get their attention but they were so busy clawing that they paid her none, So she stuck her index finger and middle finger into her mouth making a loud whistling noise, that done it.
Hank stopped and had snow covering his blue fur, Logan didn't stop digging right away but he eventually did, leaving one of his clawed hands stabbed into the snow bank.
Jean Grey: " Ah, Boys this way please... I probably should of told you about the secret entrance beforehand... Sorry about that.."
Wolverine: " Yeah ya should have Red, Ya just caused us to waste time wit dis damn snow, when we could of already been in there... I swear if anything..."
Whatever Logan was going to say he didn't just retracted his claws and stomped across the snow, kicking a little bit of it at Jean as he want by her into the passageway she opened up.
Hank got up off his knees dusted some of the snow off of him and was right behind Logan only he stopped a minute to reassure an upset Jean Grey.
Beast: " Don't read to much into Jeannie... He's just worried is all, only He's to stubborn to admit it."
Jean wasn't sure she agreed with Hank but it did make her feel a little better, So her and Hank walked on into the Labyrinth which Hank recognized right off the bat as being one. Jean didn't say another word to ether man only walked down the same path that Scott had took leading them to the trapped door which was still open and beside it was Veronica Xavier's half crushed in wheelchair, which nether X-Men took to be a good sign of things to come.
Wolverine at this point picked up on Veronica's scent of Cinnamon Rolls & Vanilla Ice Cream without so much as another thought Logan jumped into the opening leaving Jean and Hank behind. He crashed landed onto something soft but it didn't matter, he was on the hunt and once he got into that mind frame there was no stopping him. Jean and Hank would of only slowed him down,so he took off without them.
Jean used her telekinesis to levitate her and Hank down the shaft, it wasn't a very long one and at the bottom was a cushioning patchwork floor so had they jumped they probably would not of been hurt. Logan was done long gone, so Beast and Jean Grey had to make their own way through the turning passages that were ahead of them.
Back in Sinister's Lab:
The Minotaur Adam Bullman had ceased from choking Scott Summers once his master Mr. Sinister or Nathaniel Essex made the cuts he needed, leaving Cyclops in the same bloody condition as Veronica. Both still strapped to the lab tables, blindfolded and striped down to their underwear at least they were not fully naked both of them took some small comfort in that fact.
Sinister and Adam had abruptly exited the room, something about a distress call that was urgent. So as far as they knew Veronica and Scott were the only ones in the room at least that is what they thought until they heard another male voice coming from somewhere next to Veronica.
" Ouch... W-What happened... W-Where am I... H-Hello, Is anyone else here... Everything is so dark, I can't see... Please someone, Anyone if you are out there say something... Let me know that I am not alone..."
Cyclops: " Hold on, I know that voice too... Warren, Is that you... It's me Scott... Scott Summers."
Veronica could hear the chains next to her table rattle like this Warren fellow was trying to turn over towards his buddy Scott Summers. She also heard him let out a groan when he found out the hard way just as she had, that he couldn't due to the resistant on both his arms and legs.
" Scott... Boy am I glad to hear your voice... Where are we... What's going on... Why can't I move my legs and my arms... Oh God, my wings, I hope they're Okay..."
Cyclops: " Calm down Angel... Stop moving, you will only hurt yourself... We are locked down by some sort of chains in Sinsister's Lab underground in something Veronica said was a Labyrinth, Whatever the hell that is..."
Veronica: " For the last time Dumbass, It is a elaborate maze like structure that was used in Ancient Greece back in the days of the Greek Gods and Goddesses on Mount Olympus... Made to keep the Minotaur at bay and as a punishment of sorts for wrongdoers or for King Minos of Crete amusement... They were forced to fight the Minotaur while trying to find their way out of an ever changing building..."
Cyclops: " Yeah, Yeah, Yeah... Save the history lesson for Beast, will you... I really don't care Bitch... I think we have a little bit more to be dealing with right now, then some old stories from the past... Like trying to keep our asses alive during all this."
Veronica let out a heavy sigh and gave up trying to explain it to him because she knew he was right about having other things to deal with but refused to admit to Scott that she thought he was anywhere near being close to being right. Veronica instead turned her attention back to the other man in the room because she heard him jump at the sound of her voice, it was clear he didn't even know she was in the room and that made her wonder who else was being held down here by that monster Sinister.
" There's someone else in here with us... A woman at that... Veronica that name doesn't ring any bells... She's not an X-Men, Is she?"
Veronica: " Hell No I'm not and I don't want to be ether... Also stop talking about me like I'm not here, when I am right next to you... I have a name you know... It's Veronica Xavier."
" Sorry, I didn't mean anything by that Miss. It's just such an awful situation we are all in right now... My name is Warren Worthington III and my codename is Angel on account of my wings... I hope you can understand that was not on purpose... Trust me I hardly ever ignore a woman especially if she has such a beautiful voice as yours, I hope the rest of you is as beautiful... Whoa wait a minute, did you just say Veronica Xavier, as in Charles Xavier... Is there any relations between the two of you?"
Cyclops: " Don't get her started on that again Please... Yes Warren, She is his very unstable daughter... It's a long complicated story, That only upsets her whenever the subject of the Professor is bought up."
Veronica was fuming now, All the fear she was feeling from Sinister was fading fast at the mention of her so called father's name and being replaced by pure hatred. She could not hold it in any long Veronica started screaming out in rage that echoed around the room and jerking on her restraints trying to ether pull them off or her arm one, which ever came first.
She didn't care at this point, She just wanted out of here and wanted out now.
She was still going on like a mad woman when Sinister and his lackeys came back into the room. Veronica managed to almost free her arms out of their holdings but had them replaced in the cuffs by Adam the Minotaur. As Mr. Sinister took out a huge needle from one of the many drawers in the room and injected it into her back with something that resembled a pink clear like liquid with tiny bits of partials floating around that looked like little crystals shards.
That one shot instantly silenced her rage and was making her feel very loopy like inside of her head.
Mr. Sinister: " Aw, Now that's better, I was wondering when one of you would of finally snap... Although I personally was hoping it was you Mr. Summers and not Miss. Xavier... Oh how, I crave to hear your screams... However I guess hers will have to do for now,... It's a such pity though that I had to stop them, right when they were getting me off to ecstasy, Mmm However, I can't have her alerting our unwanted guests, Now can I? "
Cyclops: " What unwanted guests... Who else is here, you Psychopath..."
Sinister ignored Scott's questions as his eyes spotted Angel moving on his table on the other side of Veronica who was in the middle of the two X-Men and Sinister himself was now perched on the edge of her table petting her check this time, as the drug he put into her system was starting to take effect.
Mr. Sinister: " Ah, Mr. Worthington, I see you finally awoke just in time to join our little party... You will have to forgive me for not having the time to make with the small talk but if who I think is here, Is in fact here then He will be busting in this room at any moment now, wanting to tare me and my minions to shreds... So you see I have little time for pleasantries."
Sinister leaned up and kissed Veronica on the top of her head, taking a moment to breathe in the smell of her hair. He let out an excited moan of pleasure before he walked away from her over to Angel. Taking out his Scalpel, He quickly sliced opened Warren's side just as he did to both Scott and Veronica. Warren let out a gulping sound but no scream as the blade cut into him.
Nathaniel Essex wasted no time in summoning a large tube plant-vine like device which, at each end had small mouths full of sharp pointy teeth and they were drooling green slime. Sinister attached one end to Scott and the Other to Veronica's opened flesh wounds. Immediately the mouths bit down and began sucking large amounts of DNA samples out of both Mutants.
When it was done out popped these seed like contraptions which Sinister giddily collected. Essex then ripped the device out of Cyclops to Scott's relief for that thing was causing him a great deal of pain but he had refused to give Sinister the satisfaction of hearing him cry out in his agony and pain.
Mr. Sinister had just placed the device into Warren's wound when he heard yelling from the hallways and in flue his eight armed mutant lackey Octa, who crash landed onto the table Scott Summers was laying on knocking him over loosing the strap on his right arm. Octa himself laid in an unmoving heap on the floor and was out cold but there were no signs of who throw the multiple armed Mutant.
Hank McCoy and Jean Grey found themselves wondering around in unending corridors, no matter how many turns they took they would end up right back where they started near the soft patchwork floor.
Beast: " Jeannie, Maybe you can try to use your Telepathy to pick on Scott's wave links... Veronica's would be a mote point since she blocks mental abilities... It's just a shame that she is unable to block physical attack, if she were then she would of never been shot and have to live her life as a paraplegic... It saddens me when I think about all the things she is missing out on, Like dancing... Swimming... Even just taking a walk out on a beautiful winter's day... You know she has the most fascinating views when it comes to the snow... I never heard anyone talk so passionately about it the way that she does and same thing with Greek Mythology..."
McCoy rattled on like that for the next few minutes as Jean stood before him, giving him a look like she had just figured out something majorly life changing. Beast noticed her after another few minutes of his own babbling which made him stop talking and put one of his blue paws up to his head giving it a scratch, as he tried to figure out why his friend was staring at him in the way that she was.
Jean Grey: " I don't know why I didn't pick up on it earlier Hank... I picked up on it right off with Logan but it never crossed my mind that you of all people would feel that way too... I don't understand how ether one of you could feel that way at all, after everything that has happened..."
Beast: " Jeannie, what in the world are you talking about... You have this blue furry man beast royally stumped... Which I might add is no easy task in the least bit."
Jean Grey: " As brilliant as you are Hank, How do you not see it... It so obvious, You are developing feelings for that Mental Case Veronica Xavier and from the way that you were just going on, I'd say they are pretty deeply embedded already my friend... Sadly though I think you may be setting yourself up for allot of heartache."
Beast: " That's preposterous... There is no way... Well maybe... No, It's just not true... Yes, I guess there are some feelings there but I highly doubt they are of the Romantic Dwellings... Even if it is true... Who could ever love a hideous Beast like me... "
If Henry McCoy could turn red his entire face would of been that shade after he heard what Jean Grey had just said. He stared at her for a long time not saying a word. Jean could practically see the gears in his head hard at work trying to find the logic in her words and debating with himself rather or not what was said had any meaning.
After awhile Jean patted Hank on his shoulder and gave him a sympathetic smile.
Jean Grey: " Don't worry Hank, Your secret is safe with me, I won't say a word to anyone... You are not as hideous as you think... Any woman would be lucky to have you... Let us change this subject, since it is clearly troubling you... While you were rambling, I did a scan of the area with my Telepathy as you suggested although I didn't pick up on Scott's thoughts, I did on Logan's and I now know which way to go... Logan has already found them... Come on, This way."
Jean started walking and Beast followed behind her still thinking on everything that was said which is why he didn't notice that Jean had stopped walking and he ran right into her almost knocking her down but at the last second grabbed her and helped her regain her balance once more.
They were standing before a cut up doorway Wolverine's handy work no doubt but it was the sight inside of the room that shocked them to their core.
Scott was laying on the floor in nothing but his boxers and blindfold on an overturned table with the eight armed mutant Jean followed in her Astral Projection right next to him not moving. Veronica was stripped down to her bra and panties on an up right table restrained as well with Mr. Sinister sitting behind her back holding her in his arms petting her hair, she had a large greenish tube running out of her side which connected to Warren, who was also down to his underwear, as well as being strapped down and blindfolded, his feathery white wings were poking out from beneath him.
Nether Hank nor Jean was even aware that he was down here with them, much less missing. Standing near him was the large red furred Minotaur Jean watched battle Cyclops and Veronica, it was smacking its enchanted spinal club against his massive hands just waiting for his orders to attack.
Mr. Sinister smiled his little wicked grin at them as they stood in the doorway with their mouths hanging wide open and continued to stroke Veronica's hair as he started talking:
Sinister: " Ah, Miss. Grey we meet again... It's pity that it has been so long... Ah, I see you brought a friend, how sweet... Mr. McCoy I presume, We never had the pleasure of a proper introduction... Where is the other one ? I know that he is here My servant Octa didn't come into the room and knock himself out that's for sure... Wolverine, You might as well show yourself... If you have any attention of taking this tasty morsel away from me... Such power within her and the bloodline... Mmm the bloodline... I have waited centuries for an Xavier to fall into my worthy hands... Oh the things I can do with just one of her DNA strand, it accelerates the mind just thinking about it."
Nathaniel Essex was right in his assumption that Logan was somewhere nearby, Had the Scientist bothered to turn his evil tiny red eyes upwards he would of done spotted the Wolverine hanging about in the rafters. He had been there for some time now, watching and waiting for the perfect moment to catch his prey and end his hunt.
As Sinister set running his mouth to Jean and Hank, Wolverine flipped himself over the beam he was on and hopped down right behind him near Angel. Landing on his feet, he crouches down sneaking up to the tube that was connecting Veronica to Angel and sliced it in half.
Then Logan stealthily makes his way over to Warren Worthington and places his clawed hand over Angel's mouth so that he would not any noise while Logan cut his chains loose freeing the winged man from his restraints.
Scott Summers laid on the floor of the lab one of his arms had came free upon his fall and he could already feel his eyes burning as the Optical Beams were being turned back on. He reached up and took his blindfold off and shot the rest of his bindings off of him. Scott then jumped to his feet and was about to open his eyes in the direction of Sinister's voice only to find himself being tackled from behind making him hit the floor again and shooting the table he was on instead.
Scott felt a fuzzy heaviness on his bare back and he knew at once that Hank was the one who took him down.
Beast: " I'm truly sorry Scotty, but I could not let you blast Sinister as much as he deserves it... I know you can't see without your Ruby Quartz Vizor... However Veronica is in front of him at the moment and you would of hit her and I couldn't allow that to happened."
Sinister: " Wise decision Mr. McCoy..."
Cyclops: " YOU SHUT UP... I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR MOUTH!"
Hank got up off of Scott and helped him to his feet Jean came over to him slipping over his eyes the extra Visor she remembered to grab before coming in here and that was when she seen that Summers was bleeding down his side.
She did a quick look to both Warren and Veronica and saw that they to were bleeding on their sides. Jean put her head down and began to sob letting her emotions take her over.
Jean Grey: " Oh god... What did you do to all these poor people..."
Mister Sinister want to answer her, when he felt three very sharp and very pointy blades pressing awfully close to his temple and another set of three near his lower spine.
Wolverine: " Bub, you have about 3 seconds to move away from the lady or these claws goes right up your ass, then your brain... You'll be lucky, if I don't do it anyways for what ya done to all of um."
Sinister was no fool, he knew good and well that Logan was not bluffing, the wild man would stab him as sure as he was breathing. Letting go of Veronica Xavier, he slowly moved away syncing his steps with Wolverine's so that he didn't get stabbed.
Adam Bullman the Minotaur stopped moving his club and watched his boss like a hawk trying to gauge what he wanted him to do next.
Suddenly the eight armed Mutant Octa popped up off the floor and leaped across the goofy shitfaced Veronica Xavier swinging all eight of his arms punching Logan in the face eight different times causing him to release Mr. Sinister from his hold and getting Octa a little revenge in the process due to Wolverine beating his ass earlier and throwing him like a rag doll into the lab. It didn't phase Logan in the least bit,only annoyed him.
Sinister nodded at Adam to follow him before the X-Men knew what was happening he pulled out a key-card and swiped it through an electronic device on the wall and they took off though yet another hidden doorway disappearing from the lab full very angry Mutants.
One of which Angel ran after him and started pounding on the wall in his weaken state until he could no longer stand up and slide down to the floor, there was no way to open it up without that key-card.
Once they were in the safety of the lair. Mr. Sinister sat down in his over sized throne chair, in his hands he held up two seeds full of DNA admiring them. He had big plans for Scott Summers and Veronica Xavier's DNA, very big plans indeed.
Back in the lab room Octa found himself alone and having just attacked the most violent of the X-Men while his creator was no where to be found. Feeling he had no other choice Octa made a run for the only visible door in the room right behind Jean Grey.
Wolverine was right on his trail when he suddenly got blasted backwards by psychic energy.
Jean Grey: " Let him go Logan... There has been enough damage in here today... I say we all get out of here before Sinister comes back with more of his genetically altered creatures."
No one disagreed with her especially Scott and Warren. Hank want over to Veronica giving her a quick glance over with his Doctor's eyes, Shaking his head McCoy then took his shirt off placing it on her covering her up, then he reached out and scooped her up into his big furry arms and carried her out, Logan helped carried Warren out and Jean helped Scott.
It was much easier to leave then they thought and in no time they back into one of the cabins. That is when they got the message from Charles Xavier:
" X-Men... Come to Muir Island as soon as possible... You are greatly needed... Will explain more when you get here... I have already sent X-Jets to your locations and they should be arriving soon... Hurry my X-Men, we have little time to waste."
While the rest were gathering up their belongings or getting dressed in some of their cases, Henry McCoy want to work stitching up both Warren and Scott. Veronica was a bit harder for him to deal with because she kept mumbling incoherently and jerking around as he tried to stitch, whatever Sinister injected her with was messing with her mind which concerned everyone there even Cyclops.
Hank had no idea how to go about treating it because for one thing he no idea what was in that syringe. However that was not going to discourage him from trying to figure it out.
It didn't take the jets long at all to arrive, everyone boarded and just like the Island Team they were well on their way to Muir Island to meet up with the Professor.
Yeah, Yeah we know that could of ended allot better then what we did, but It's long as shit as it is ... So we decided to just end it and move on already... The whole point in that mission was to introduce 4 new characters into our story. All 4 will be seen again at some point and a few might even join up with the X-Men, You'll just have to wait and see.
