Finding Family - Part 2 ~ Chapter 13
This is one of the chapters written before I lost motivation, I hope you enjoy.
I don't own anything owned by someone else.
Stepping onto the roof Mimic breathed deeply trying to centre himself. Slowly but surely his form changed taking on that of Magneto who was still downstairs dealing with the guards. With a roar of effort he wrenches his arms from above his head, down, the avengers jet mimics his motion coming crashing to the ground.
ROOOOOAAAAAR!
Out of the rubble grew a huge green behemoth, who roared before taking of in the direction of the sea. NO, NO, NO that simply wouldn't do.
That wasn't what Mimic wanted at all, with a grunt of concentration and exertion he lifted off the ground and floated after the hulking monster.
Catching up with him he began pelting hulk with pieces of debris from the surrounding ships. Rusted scaffolding, girders and pieces of the hulls were all thrown at the raging green beast.
Raising his head Hulk saw the puny floating man and roared up at him, in an immense bound Hulk launched himself at the figure who barely managed to dodge his flailing fists. He began slowly leading the giant towards the nearby city of Cape Town, in great leaping bounds.
"We could really use a lullaby about now," shouted Tony as he watched 'Magneto' leading Hulk towards the city.
"What's happening?" Asked Steve.
"Magneto's leading Hulk to the city, he'll tear it apart."
"Magneto's here," interrupted Leo, then it clicked, "it's not Magneto it's Mimic. He must be able to change his form."
"I can't get close to take him out, every time I do he sends me flying," interrupted Stark.
"Right then, Quicksilver, Quake and Shadowcat you're with me," said Black Widow.
"Why me?" Complained Leo.
"Because I didn't think you'd let anyone else drive your precious car," that had Leo moving.
While Leo was prepping Caitlin, Natasha had Tony on the coms. "Look Stark you said it yourself, you're no use if you send in Veronica there's no telling what Mimic could do with it. Now you come back here and help Thor deal with the mutants here."
"What happened to Cap?"
"He was taken out."
"Really," Tony sounded as though Natasha had made his year with that small phrase, "I'll be a sec."
Thor was having fun with the two mutants, they worked excellently as a team. It was only through miracles that he was still standing, early on he'd managed to trap one of the women under Mjolnir, the one with black hair. This allowed him to wear out the remaining woman, this was no mean feat he'd get close to delivering a knockout blow when she'd vanish through one of those infuriating portals. During one of these occasions she appeared from the portal and immediately created another, this one was directly beneath the struggling Laura. As soon as it formed Laura fell through it dropping from the ceiling, during their flight she'd managed to get out from beneath the mystic hammer. It was now back to a two against one fight, behind the mutants Steve groaned as he stood.
"Stop you two there's no need to keep fighting," he said.
"While there's a SHIELD there's a fight," said Blink emphatically.
They didn't have time to further their argument as the sound of jets could be heard before Iron Man landed between Thor and Captain America.
"I heard you were out of it," said Tony, trying to bait Steve into reacting.
"I heard you ran from a fight," replied Steve scathingly.
The two mutants saw the odds out of their favour and decided to escape while they could.
High above the retired shipyard the X-Jet was in hot pursuit of Ultron's many bodies, which were flying with a shipping container between them.
"Storm, show them what we've got," said Jean, bringing them round to circle the fleeing robots. Ororo's eyes turned cloudy, becoming smokey white orbs before deal clouds started rolling in.
"This can't be good," said Ultron from one of the bodies carrying the container.
Sure enough seconds later a jagged bolt of seething electricity launched itself upon them, it rushed through the robots wires superheating them. Within seconds most of the robots were smoking hunks of metal, those that weren't, were quickly taken out by a bolt of red energy.
Slowly the rear ramp of the X-Jet opened before cyclops leapt out, two quick zaps of his optic blasts and the container was open. Inside was, "nothing, we've got nothing this was a decoy." Cyclops ran back to the jet as Storm took off returning them to cruising altitude.
"Where could they be," said Jean looking through their window for any sign of their prey.
"Shit we've lost them," said Scott after five minutes flying in a grid pattern.
"Let's hope some of us have something to show for our efforts," said Jean.
"This is Quicksilver, we're in pursuit of Mimic and Hulk," Leo flew Caitlin gracefully of the ship before he opened the thrusters and she shot forwards in a trail of churned up sand.
Back on the ship Clint couldn't help himself, "that is one nice car," he said in awe as it flew into battle.
Mimic saw the strange car flying towards him, with a grin he turned to confront the new playthings. Hulk it appeared had grown bored by this annoying flying figure and so decided to find his amusement elsewhere, namely the city of Cape Town. In a tremendous bound he leapt at the city a mile away and landed amongst the towering buildings.
"Right who wants Hulk and who wants..." Leo never finished that sentence as before he could Caitlin was gripped in an invisible hand and thrown at the ground below.
Mimic grinned in sick satisfaction as the car hit the ground crumpling and exploding.
"Quicksilver... Quicksilver, Leo." Shouted Ororo over the radio, no longer caring about if Ultron could hear her or not.
"Nat... Natasha don't you dare die on me," said Clint over the coms.
