X-Men Belonging Chapter 10: Episode 10, a x-men fanfic

EPISODE 10:

Emma is sat on her bed, in somewhat of a bad mood. Scott is packing his suitcase.

Scott: "We agreed. It won't be safe for you over there. There won't be anything you can do."

Emma: "But I'll be stuck here, doing what? Being worried about you all, it'll be torture."

Scott: "It's a decision we've taken for your safety and the baby's. Heck, it was your idea."

Emma: "Maybe, I said maybe I shouldn't go."

Scott: "And you were right." Scott crawls over the bed toward her, kissing her cheek. "So look after our baby girl and I will be home before you know it."

We see a clips of numerous flights leaving various airports all over the world. All destinations being Cairo, Egypt.

We see a sped up video of Erik Lehnsherr and his team mapping the pyramid of Khufu. They seem to be planning their way in to ensure the awakening of En Sabah Nur.

We see taxis arriving at the Black Panther Complex in Giza. Friends of The Black Panther and Storm step out of vehicles and they head into the hotel-like building. Familiar faces include Tony Stark, Warren Worthington and Bruce Banner. (To the naked eye, there are a mixture of heroes, Avengers, X-Men and others).

Cloak and Dagger are having a private conversation.

Tyrone: "We're not sure if our friends are going to get hurt."

Tandy: "I know. But there's no other way of doing this. Wanda left the world in a mess. There's nowhere for people with abilities to go."

Tyrone: "We agree on that, but what happens when the X-Men realise it's us?"

Tandy: "Oh come on, they're not X-Men anymore, they haven't been for a while."

Tyrone: "No. You saw what happened at the prison. That was the Blackbird, and it was Cyclops, Beast and Wolverine inside. They may not be fully united, but that team is there. We used to be a part of them."

Tandy: "When Xavier was around ok? After he disappeared everything changed. As if we were part of the team only because he said so. You think Emma Frost really liked us or cared about us?"

Tyrone: "Tandy none of them were disingenuous to us. I know I'd much rather be with them, than with Magneto's Brotherhood."

Tandy: "I would much rather it be us. Us against the world, but we have our own motives here. As soon as it's done you and I will escape and let the chips fall where they may. We don't have to answer to the X-Men or Magneto. We'll get what we want and leave. That's our plan." Tandy is looking out of a window where we see over her shoulder. Signs and culture signify that she and Cloak are in the city of Cairo.

We split-screen to one of the final people arriving. He gets out of his taxi, blue from head to toe. He is escorted into the building by Wakanda'ans and he introduces himself. "I am Kurt Wagner, the amazing Nightcrawler."

We hear a voice: "Kurt!" and over comes -

"Jubilee!" Kurt turns to embrace her and the two of them talk about what an amazing scene the Wakanda'ans had set up for Storm's wedding. Kurt says that he's wondering who else will be here.

Jubilee says she was one of the last women to arrive and that she's looking forward to a pampering tomorrow along with Storm and everyone else.

"What about the men?" Kurt asks.

"Oh I don't know about that. Have a stroll around here. Maybe you'll bump into one of the guys." Jubilee runs off. "Gotta go Kurt. It's great to see you!"

Kurt: "Where are you going?"

Jubilee shouts: "I'm helping with the firework display!" Jubilee runs and bumps into a broad-shouldered man. "Wow. Well you're a hunk-a-hunk. Mister America."

Steve Rogers smiles. "It's Captain, Jubilee."

Jubilee: "I know. I always like having fun with ya Cap'." She leaves and Rogers walks into the building. Kurt greets him and the two approach the Reception desk.

T'challa and Ororo are in Wakanda, in Shuri's lab talking to Reed Richards.

T'challa: "You are sure, this will cover Giza?"

Reed: "Correct. You'll have the same protection as you have here."

Ororo: "This is great. A failsafe to ensure Apocalypse doesn't get out."

Shuri comes into the picture: "Lets hope so my sister. Tomorrow we put these cylinders into place. More importantly we have some drinks eh? Two nights before the wedding, some entertainment?"

T'challa: "Shuri, what are you getting my Ororo into? I very much doubt she will want a hangover on her wedding day."

Ororo: "That's right. And I have made it very clear. The girls will gather and we can do some cultural things, but alcohol for me is out of the question."

Shuri tuts: "T'challa, such a spoil sport."

T'challa waves over Wakanda'ans to take the big heavy cylinders onto the trolley. He commands them to take them to the aircraft and get them to Giza.

Reed to Shuri as they walk off: "You're doing a bachelorette party? I thought we weren't supposed to do such things."

Shuri: "We're not, but the girls are going to gather to talk about you boys anyway."

Reed: "Is my wife in Giza?"

Shuri: "Oh she landed hours ago. With lots of drinks. Apparently Johnny is well connected."

Reed: "Damn. You couldn't have discussed this with me throughout our work here? What am I supposed to do for your brother?"

Shuri: "You're the Best Man Mr. Fantastic. I'm sure that genius brain can think of something."

The camera pans back toward the bride and groom to be. They hold both of one another's hands.

Ororo: "This is the last I'll see of you before we Wed," she touches his face, "you look distracted."

He shakes off his worries and smiles: "From you? No. I think of only our wedding day."

Ororo: "And the turmoil that could ensue?"

T'challa: "It could. But we know our vows. We know our love will survive anything. It will be an instant test and instant victory."

Ororo: "Yet you are nervous?"

T'challa: "No. The fight will be easy, if they dare bring one."

Ororo: "Nervous about the wedding?"

T'challa doesn't answer.

Ororo: "T'challa?"

T'challa: "We haven't done a walkthough. No rehearsal for the day. We'll go back to Giza tonight, but there's one day of nothing before I dedicate the rest of my life to you."

Ororo kisses him, first on his cheek and then incredibly slowly on his lips. "T'challa. Are you nervous?" she says with a big smile.

He holds her by the waist and pulls her closer, kissing her cheek. "I have never lied to you, but this line of questioning does not reflect well upon your respect for the King."

She kisses his neck and ear, "aahh, I love when my Panther accepts that he is a King, ruler of Wakanda and most generous not-nervous-at-all warrior of the world."

T'challa: "Exactly. You know me so well. And you know that I am nervous as hell." The two laugh and affectionately touch one another. They are happy, kissing.

Shuri shouts to them: "Hey! Lets go!"

Ororo hugs her fiancé once more and says "see you soon."

T'challa: "I love you."

Ororo: "I love you." Ororo walks down toward Shuri as she passes Reed.

Reed walks to T'challa: "We gotta get going too bud. Giza awaits."

T'challa: "Yes." T'challa keeps staring toward his bride-to-be.

The sun sets and rises over Giza and we are one day from the wedding. We go from window to window on the outside of the Complex. Shadow/silhouettes show Hank McCoy hanging upside down, reading a book. We see a guy on the phone, presumably Scott Summers calling Emma at home. We see what looks like a couple arguing; Peter Parker and Mary-Jane Watson. We see Colossus out on his balcony, taking in the fresh air. Wolverine joins him and has a smoke. We see a couple having sex; Sooraya and Remy.

The camera zooms in on Sooraya and Remy's window. She rolls out of bed and gets sets to go in the shower. We see glimpses of her face and body, but never fully nude.

Remy: "You coming back to bed after your prayers?"

Sooraya: "No. I'll go for a workout, then an early breakfast. The girls are meeting at 8am."

Remy: "8am, for the pampering day right?"

Sooraya: "Yes. What will you do?"

Remy: "Babe I don't even know who de Best Man is. Your God only knows what we boys be doing."

Sooraya: "There's only one God Remy."

Remy: "Tell dat to Apocalypse when he wakes up."

Sooraya: "If he wakes up. Plus, I would tell him. He may try and kill me, but I would say to him that he's not God."

Remy looks Sooraya up and down: "I guess he can't be a God if he can't create anything. Damn, the God that created you is quite the creator!"

Sooraya smirks and throws her nightgown at Remy before stepping into the shower. "Go to sleep Cajun."

Steve Rogers is up and in the breakfast buffet area at 7am. From over his shoulder we see him looking out the window. Tony Stark is on a morning run. Into the dining hall steps Daisy Johnson. It's hard to miss one another as they're the only ones in there at the time. Rogers gets up and makes his way toward her, carrying a cup of water.

Steve: "I didn't know Inhumans were invited to this wedding."

Daisy: "I didn't know ancient soldiers were invited here either."

Steve: "Well we are in Egypt. This is where ancient soldiers reside is it not?"

Daisy smiles and half-hugs Steve. "It's good to see you Cap'."

The two grab a plate and serve themselves up some breakfast.

As the clock ticks, more who's-who's of the Marvel Universe step into the dining hall, but noticeably the females all leave by 8am. After 8:15am, Reed Richards sits down with Steve Rogers.

"Steve, I need your help."

Steve: "What is it? Is there some trouble?"

Reed looks the hall over. From his point of view we see The Thing talking to Beast. Peter Parker talking to Kurt Wagner. Luke Cage, Colossus and Bruce Banner having a chat. Many others included.

Reed says: "This is incredibly important."

Steve leans in: "Ok. So what's the problem?"

Reed: "Tag! You're it!"

Reed then runs off as the rest of the men murmur. Steve sees a blinking patch sticker stuck on his arm.

Steve stands up: "What?"

T'challa walks into the dining room, looking fresh and ready for the day, his last before marriage. He looks at Rogers and says: "It seems there is a day of games ahead Captain."

Reed: "That's right. We have It right now, football after lunch and then a basketball tournament after dinner tonight. Tag someone Cap', you're it!"

Rogers: "Oh God damn it." Rogers peels off the patch and walks over to The Thing, taps him on the arm and slaps the patch on him: "Tag!"

Hank McCoy gets up and moves away slowly. The rest of the room get up and begin moving toward the exits too.

Reed: "Oh and by the way, that tag patch has a DNA reader on it. By lunch, if you're the one that's been tagged the most, you get to be the main usher at the wedding tomorrow." He eyeballs The Thing and says: "And you'll have to wear a suit. And be polite!"

The Thing: "Fuck." He gets up, but there is no one within arm's reach. He peels off the patch and stretches toward Peter Parker, but Spidey shoots a web and pulls himself up toward the open window. The Thing begins to march as everyone scurries out the door.

A number of Marvel's finest female heroes are laid with towels around their bodies and cucumber slices over their eyes. The music is mellow and all is calm. They talk, addressing the fact that Emma Frost isn't able to be at the wedding.

Kitty Pryde: "She might've pooped the party anyway."

Natasha Romanov: "Why have you two never gotten along?"

Kitty: "She thinks she's above me. Above most women probably. Just because she can read minds she thinks she knows people."

Daisy Johnson: "I hear ya. Getting respect in our line of work is tough, but when someone can read your mind, you always feel you have to convince them of your worth."

Jubilee: "I always ignored Emma. I mean she found her way and all, but I only took real guidance from the Professor, Jean and Storm."

Shuri: "Now Storm will lead, as Queen of Wakanda."

Ororo: "Please Shuri. I wouldn't want anything to change me as a person."

Shuri: "And it won't. You are the embodiment of a Queen. Cleopatra would be proud to have you as her heir in Egypt. My brother is infinitely more proud that he has someone who knows exactly how to conduct herself."

Susan Storm: "She's not wrong Ororo. You are an amazon of a woman."

Ororo: "I'm not sure if you all are being nice because it's my wedding tomorrow or because you're all getting yourselves pampered at no cost to any of you."

Mary-Jane: "I know I wouldn't know where to start. I look down when I walk, whereas you hold yourself high and walk with such presence and posture. No way could I be a Queen. Not that Pete's any kind of Prince or King nowerdays."

Daisy: "Why'd you say that?"

Jubilee: "Yeah MJ, what's going on?" MJ hesitates, shy to tell her story. The girls sit up and Wakanda'an servants remove their cucumber peels and begin to do their pedicures.

Shuri pipes up: "Ok, this will be part of our day. Everyone has to say something that is personal, but remains a secret between just us girls. It has to be a current private problem, something top secret from the past, or you have to answer a personal question. We enhance our bond, but encourage one another to keep our minds sharp, eyes open and legs closed."

Ororo: "Shuri! What would you know about opening your legs?"

Shuri laughs: "Oh sister, I don't know much, but for Luke Cage I'm sure I can find out what to do. I bet that man is so delicious!"

The girls laugh.

Kitty: "Come on guys, MJ's upset, we have to help her."

Shuri: "Yes, talk talk and help, just like Sex and the City!"

Natasha: "Alright I'm in. But if any of you ask me something too personal I might have to kill you before we leave Giza."

Everyone else agrees to reveal something about themselves too. Then they look at Sooraya.

She says: "How will I know to trust any of you? I have only just begun being an X-Man. In fact I'm not even sure if I am one."

Ororo: "You are. Scott speaks highly of you as does everyone else at the Mansion. You only have friends here."

Sooraya: "Not everyone. Emma has taken time to get used to having a religious presence at the mansion. And every so often I get a grunt or odd comment from Wolverine."

Ororo: "Oh? I wonder what Logan's problem could be."

Kitty: "He's probably in the same boat as you Sooraya. Not sure whether to trust anyone? You're new to the group, so maybe his extra grunts are just his way of sniffing you out. Has he approached you in any way?"

Sooraya: "Not one on one, not since we first met."

Kitty: "Then you're fine. If he had a real problem with you he'd find you and say it to your face."

Ororo: "Yes, very true. Not one for avoiding conflict is Wolverine."

Sooraya: "Ororo, even you will reveal something then? In this bonding experience?"

Ororo, hesitant: "Yes."

Natasha puts her arms around Sooraya: "Besides. If anyone lets anything go beyond our circle, I'll hunt them down for you and kill them myself. And that goes for you servants too. Did you hear anything?" She says, raising her voice toward the servants.

Ororo addresses them in Wakanda'an, then says: "They won't say anything. No one wants the Black Widow after them."

Shuri: "No one would want Dust after them either."

Sooraya smiles.

Natasha: "Floor is yours MJ."

Elsewhere in Cairo; Erik and his team are gathered around a table and they're continuing the formulation of their plan, apparently not happy with what they had come up with previously.

Avalanche: "Ergh, but if you go that way while they're over here then that will cause that pillar to fall."

Juggernaut: "So? That pillar will drop eventually anyway."

Avalanche: "But aren't we sticking to the rules? Cloak and Dagger said no killing."

Blob: "Who gives a shit what they say."

Sabretooth: "I agree. They don't wanna kill, don't mean that we can't."

Tyrone: "You do realise we are here and we can hear you?"

Raven: "They're too stupid to notice that."

Sabretooth: "You wanna shut up Mystique? We're all here doin' you and Silvie a favour to get Erik his powers back. We could easily leave and shaft you you know."

Raven: "Shaft? Are you sure you wanna shaft this ass Victor?"

Sabretooth looks around to see that Mystique has turned into an image of Wolverine. Sabretooth growls and launches himself toward her and a skirmish ensues. Toad cheers on both sides as Avalanche, Cloak and Quicksilver try to split them up. Blob and Juggernaut stay remaining seated eating ribs.

Tandy gets up and moves away from the table shaking her head. "We're never gonna get this right."

Juggernaut to Blob: "Girl needs to relax. We know why we're here. We're goin' to cause a mess. Mess don't need to have a plan."

Blob, engrossed in his food: "You say somethin'?"

Juggernaut, chewing: "What?"

The camera pans and we go to another room within the same vicinity. Erik is talking to a gentleman in a cloak. The pair of them shake hands.

Gentleman: "You have my allegiance. Quite the circus you have in there though."

Erik: "They're like siblings. They irritate one another and they fight. Friendly fire would not surprise me at the wedding."

Gentleman: "And you're sure you want to go through with this on the actual wedding day?"

Erik: "It has to be that day. My Brotherhood, yourself, Cloak and Dagger. I'm confident that our mission will be a success."

Gentleman: "Just don't forget our agreement."

Erik: "Don't worry Victor. You're welcome to have your way with Reed Richards. I'm positive he'll be at the wedding."

The gentleman steps out of the shadow to reveal himself: "Everyone will be at this wedding."

Erik: "As will you, Doctor Doom."

Doom smiles: "As will you, Magneto."
