X-Men "An Unnatural Omega"
Chapter 12: Endurance of will, Part 2 (The Other perspective)
…
Emma's P.O.V., Storms P.O.V., and Abigail Brands P. O. V.
Emma was currently talking to the director of sword Abigail Brand, who decided to see to this personally, about two things given the recent events with storm sitting nearby.
Abigail Brand took a sip of her tea before she spoke replied to Emma's previous question.
Surprisingly there isn't much to go on outside of some passerby's who a homeless person keeping to himself on the streets of New York and sitting down on a wall and not interacting with him and as you would expect, some actively avoiding him". She said as she pushed a File forward with what little info, she could find on him due to the complaints of some quiet individuals who passed him by". "I also had to pull up some vague reports of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s and A.I.M.'s to get some of the info". She said saying the A.I.M. with emphasis to clarify that it wasn't much on A.I.M.'s part much less than the already vague part of S.H.I.L.D.'s. "So, in a sense", she hesitated to use the words, "he's not even in the system or registered as a citizen of anywhere". "No birth records, no friends or family, nothing". "Like he never came out of that alley in the past twenty-six or so years".
She let that sink in with some surprise on her face that she was able to pull that much up including the file itself.
Emma and storm remembered back the day he arrived when he said he killed a bunch of A.I.M. soldiers and sent back their body parts in barbecue sauce, sending a shiver through storm as she looked down at the file folder with the shield emblem and nick furies signature that said, "NO EYES PERIOD"! On it in all caps and red letters.
Inside were some surveillance photo's that were obviously from a few street cameras and one that was top quality with a younger looking Derrick, about, twelve or thirteen, wearing a hoodie and pants that looked the same in the last photo. And then there was the final photo that was the farthest back dating to 1999 with a young derrick holding a teddy bear and handing a rat a cookie while it was on a garbage can. There were some scribbled notes next to a few A.I.M. reports. With "CAUTION ADVISED"! written stamped down in red letters on the file the photo that the last one was on before saying, "Subject is extremely dangerous"! "Top eye's only"! following a photo of an A.I.M. operative who had his jaw and both arms broken and dislodged but otherwise was still alive as indicated by the medical report.
Emma read the file as Abigail Brand waited for a moment taking another sip of her tea as she did.
"You also said you would try to get a bit of DNA from him, and let Mr. Sinister do it of all people". Abigail said with a tone that indicated it wasn't the best idea in the lot. Especially after what she heard about what he did to Logan. Much less Laura and the abilities he displayed thus far.
Emma frost gave her an annoyed look while storm didn't look up from the file.
"I know the risks", Emma replied. "But with the upcoming Hellfire Gala we can't have any distractions". She stated. "Also", "look me in the eye and tell me that you would do anything different given our policy". "Then there's the fact he's dangerous as well as unstable". She stated next.
Abigail nodded after a moment. "True enough". She spoke. "I prepare for every contingency remember".
Emma Frost picked up her drink to take a sip….
Then they all felt it. Like something was making it hard to breath and the air seemed to blur as they sat still before the shaking started. Emma and Abigail then Storm were clenching their heads in throbbing pain as their mental barriers were slowly coming down one by one. "W…. what the hell is this". Abigail croaked out in shock as Emma and her dropped their tea on the floor making it shatter and spill the liquid on the grass like surface.
"Shit", "its him". Emma managed to get out before the vertigo started to set in. Abigail looked up at Emma in shock as she realized that something was happening with Mr. Sinister.
"I…. WE HAVE TO STOP THIS"! Emma choked out trying to stand up before falling down on the floor on her hands and knees while looking dazed and the room was spinning around them.
Then it stopped.
Emma slowly with some effort got up while leaning on the chair then the table for support while storm was gasping for breath at what they just went through.
Just then a mental signal went out to everyone present.
It was from Jean Grey.
"Umm, Emma you should come down to the medical ward". She stated. Mr. Sinister said something he shouldn't have".
That last part made Emma and storm snap out of their stupor, while Abigail was wondering what she meant by that.
One thought went through the previous two as well as Abigail to what Jean Grey said.
"Shit"!
