Brotherhood Evolution: Lost Ends
Dedication: To all those who have supported the character of Omega, this ones for you.
Well its time to delve into Omega's past, as well as start to lay the groundwork for season three of BHE. I think most X-Men fans will catch the references I throw out for you. Try to count'em all! ENJOY!

The 'Hood House ™
"Bingo!" Toad shouted from his room.
"Now what?" Lance asked as Toad came hopping out with a huge smile.
"This can't be good." Wanda muttered.
"Whenever I'm involved its good." Toad said as he licked his lips at Wanda.
"Urg." Wanda said, as she turned green and ran out of the room to promptly throw up.
"Toad, what is it." Betsy asked dryly.
"I found them!" Toad cried. "I spent all night searching, but I found out where our friends "The Hand" are currently residing.
"Holy shit." Mike muttered. "How."
"Xavier, being the paranoid fruit we all know him to be, placed a tracer on Silver Samurai's bank accounts in order to try and track him so that he could dispatch his toy solder to deal with the problem. I merely rerouted the information he is supposed to receive to my computer, so that we know, not Xavier." Toad said proudly. "And I finally got a hit on his records."
"Great. So now we can find those basterd and make them pay for what they did to Lance." Tabitha said simply.
"Hell ya." Lance grinned "Toad, where are they?"
"Last time Samurai took out a large sum of money was a day ago, down in Miami." Toad explained.
"Miami…" Mike growled.
"Luv, aren't you from Miami?" Betsy asked as Mike's face darkened.
"Yea. And I'm never going back." Mike snapped as he stormed off. "Period."
"Bets?" Pietro asked.
"I have no clue." Betsy said simply. "I'll try and find out." She said as she followed her Boyfriend out into the backyard. "Mike!" Betsy called out, stopping him in his tracks. "What's wrong? What aren't you telling me?" Betsy asked as she walked over and wrapped her arms around him.
"I'm not going back to that place, to many bad memories." Mike muttered simply. "You guys go, I'll hold down the fort here."
"You sure you don't want to tell me any thing?" Betsy asked quietly.
"Not right now Bets. Don't worry about me, worry about handing 'The Hand' their ass's." Mike said as he hugged Betsy back tightly. "Be careful."
"Okay luv, But if you need me, I'm only a thought away." Betsy said as she walked back into the house.
"I know. But I won't be needing you this time Bets." Mike thought to himself as he stared at the night sky. "Not when my past is involved. You don't need that burden, its mine alone to bear…"
********************
Miami, Florida. Three years ago…
"SARAH!" Mike Nagrite screamed as he bled profusely from his arms. He watched in horror as bullets destroyed the blond girl in front of him. "NOOOOOOOO!!!" Mike screamed as he shot out of bed.
"MICHAEL!" Betsy Braddock shouted as she shadow walked into his room where he was panting in bed. Todd, Wanda and Pietro appeared at his door a few seconds later. "What's wrong?" Betsy asked as she sat on his bed next to him. He was all sweaty and taking in deeps rasps of air.
"No-Nothing. I'm fine guy's…" Mike muttered. "It was just a nightmare." Mike said simply as Betsy rubbed his bare back.
"You guys wanna give us a minute?" Betsy asked to the others.
"Man I got up for this…" Pietro whined as he walked back to his room.
"Can I tuck you in babycakes?" Toad asked Wanda.
"Only if I can bury you alive first." Wanda hissed as she walked away from Toad.
"Next time for sure." Toad thought as he hopped back to bed.
"Mike are you sure you're okay?" Betsy asked as she faced her boyfriend. "Does this have to do with us leaving tomorrow?"
"Bets. I'm fine. It was just a nightmare." Mike said as he smiled at her. Her face went from worried to relieved.
"Okay. But if you need to talk, my room is always open. Just remember to knock." Betsy said with a smile as she walked out of his room and into the hallway. She closed his door and let out a sigh as she went back to bed.
"It was just a nightmare…" Mike repeated to himself as he put his face in his hands and rubbed his temples. On his bureau was a picture of a younger version of himself with the Blond girl from his dream riding piggyback style on his back. They were both laughing.
********************
The Next day
"You sure about this?" Betsy asked as Mike handed his car keys to Betsy.
"It was just a nightmare, and I trust you most out of everyone here. So I know you'll bring my car back in good shape." Mike said with a smile before he shared a long kiss with her. "Take care guys."
"You sure you don't want to come?" Lance asked one more time.
"Yea. There's nothing for me down there." Mike said as the rest of the Brotherhood waved at him and drove off. "They got a three day drive ahead of them, and probably another week of searching before they find anything.' Mike thought. "Boy is it going to be lonely." He thought as he walked back into the house. "Looks like its you an me Boris." Mike said as the Brotherhood rat stared at him cockeyed as he turned on the TV. "What? I like Springer."
********************
At an undisclosed Location
"Fools. They're playing right into our hand." Silver Samurai said with a smile.
"Of course. No one knows Michael Nagrite like I do." A figure in the shadows said simply. "Nobody."
"Just remember our deal." Viper hissed. "We need a full vial of Omega's Blood to get payment. That's the whole reason we allowed you to come on, so you can get it, he heals to damn fast for us to cope with."
"Don't worry. When I split him open, there will be plenty of Blood to go around." The figure said with a sadistic smile as she walked off towards a metal door.
"I hope this Essex character is right about her." Sunfire muttered to his comrades, fire burning in his eyes. "I don't trust him, or her."
"Don't worry, if she betrays us, I'll kill her myself Lady Deathstrike said as long talons emerged from her fingertips. I am the boss after all."
********************
Miami, One week later
"This is really hopeless…" Lance muttered as he collapsed onto the couch in the motel the Brotherhood was residing in. "Toad are you sure that 'The Hand' is still here?"
"Samurai's accounts have seen some massive activity in this area in the past few days, I just can't pinpoint it." Toad said as his fingers whizzed across the keyboard, his tongue controlling the mouse that was clicking away.
"That is impressive to say the least." Tabitha said as Betsy hung up the phone. "How's your Boy toy?"
"Bored out of his mind. He's also got the song from 'Three's Company' stuck in his head." Betsy said with a smile.
"Come and knock on our door…" Pietro sang. "Ah damn it!" Pietro cried as he continued to hum the song.
"I wonder what was down here that he didn't want to come?" Blob asked as he ate a burger.
"I don't." Lance said simply. "Take it from someone who's got a bad past. You want to leave it buried. And Mike has done a pretty damn good job at it." Lance stated. "Now let's go find 'The Hand.' Toad, work some magic for me."
"I only work Magic for my snukum's." Toad replied dryly as he continued his search. "But for you, I'll make an exception." Toad said with a smile as his printer began to buzz. "This is the last known location of 'The Hand'. We get there fast enough, we might still catch them." Toad said simply.
"LET'S ROCK!" Lance screamed as the earth shook.
"The bad rock puns really have to stop." Blob said to Pietro, who nodded in agreement.
********************
The Miami Warehouse district
"Why is it Bad guys always choose Warehouses to hide out in?" Tabitha asked as the Brotherhood walked throughout the abandoned Warehouses.
"I think its some kind of universal bad guys code…." Lance said with a smirk.
"Then why don't we use one?" Wanda asked.
"Too expensive." Blob answered.
"Ah." Wanda stated as she continued to look around. "I feel like we're on a snipe hunt…" Wanda said simply.
"You're right." The Brotherhood turned to see Viper standing there with about thirty men dressed in green ninja garb. You are searching for nothing… If we wanted to stay hidden, we would. Xavier never placed a tracer on Samurai's accounts." Viper said with a sly smile.
"Why?" Lance asked, starting to tap into the seismic energy fields that surrounded him. "Why did you want to be found?"
"My dear boy." The Brotherhood turned around to see a red haired woman with long talon's protruding from her fingertips. Lady Death Strike. Silver Samurai was standing next to her with a large glowing Katana in one hand, and a gun in the other hand. There were also more ninjas. "We just wanted to separate you from our real target…"
"Mike!" Betsy cried as she tried to shadow walk away. Before she got the chance, a bullet tore through her shoulder, causing her to lose consciousness. "Ah…"
"Betsy!" Lance screamed as he fired off a blast the destroyed the gun held in Samurai's hand. "Now we do this right." Lance screamed as he focused and tore the earth up around him and sent it at Samurai. "I owe you this!" Lance screamed in rage as the earth slammed into Silver Samurai, knocking him back.
"I got Betsy!" Blob shouted as he picked her up and ducked into a warehouse as Tabitha's hands glowed, creating dozens of time bombs, which she began to throw at the Ninjas.
"We gotta find a way to warn Mike!" Wanda cried as she hexed Lady Death Strike into a wall.
"I think we're a little busy right now." Pietro quipped as he dodged several throwing stars. "Wow. Those really work? Besides, I think he can take care of himself."
"I guess so." Toad quipped as he kicked a ninja in the spine. "But still, this is what, the thirtieth time we've been played like this in the past year?"
"Around that number." Blob said as he emerged from the warehouse and slammed a ninja into the wall. "Aren't you guys supposed to be stealthy?
********************
The 'Hood House ™
"Come and knock on our door…" Mike sang to himself. "Ah damn it!"
"Squeak."
"What Boris?" Mike asked the rat that was on his shoulder. Boris just looked at him cockeyed as Mike grabbed the jug of Mike and downed the contents. He then walked back into the living room and stuck Boris back in his cage. "I wonder what's on the tube." Mike said as he sat in Lance's chair and was about to turn on the TV before the wall in front of him imploded.
(BOOM!) (A/N: Fancy sound effects, huh?)
"What the hell?" Mike asked as he got up from the ruble that buried him and looked around for whoever it was attacking him. "Look buddy, I don't know who the hell you are, but you gotta have brass ones if you wanna attack me in my home." Mike said as he looked at the giant hole in the wall.
"Actually Mikey." Came the feminine voice from the wall. The sound of Mike's old nickname sent a chill down his spine. Only one person called him Mikey, and she was dead. "I don't have a set at all, but you should know that after all…" Said the voice as she walked out of the shadows, to reveal a beautiful blond woman. She had several piercing's in her ears and her hair was down to her lower back. Her emerald green eyes blazed with hatred. She was wearing combat armor like out of some sci-fi fic and held a very large gun in her hands. "Right Lover?"
"Sarah?" Mike asked in shock before a series of loud pops filled the air as Sarah Ramos fire her weapon at Mike.
********************
Next Time on Brotherhood Evolution: Painful Reunions. Sarah Ramos was killed in front of Michael Nagrite three years ago. Wasn't she?
