A New Beginning Chapter 11
Jarek watched as a small group of army boys snuck beneath him. He was crouching in a tree and he counted them as they went by. He counted a total of about a dozen of them. Jarek knew that he could defeat them but he would have to kill them he thought. He had no desire to do that unless he was forced. He wouldn't kill them for Kitty and if they had known it was due to her then they might want to die anyway.
Jarek thought about it and decided that he could knock them unconscious and then carry them away from the mansion and drop them off somewhere. He would have them away from here before they ever woke up. That was when he saw a group of three men walk beneath him moving like shadows making no sound at all. He knew the men for they were a trio of assassins that were hired to kill people who were considered dangerous.
The three of them were hired by people who were rich or by the government when they thought that a certain person posed a great threat. Jarek frowned for the professor had said that the assassins were after Gambit but if that was so then why were they were working with the government. Jarek didn't like it and he thought that they were working to take out Gambit but were also there to kill Jarek or his sister one of the two.
Jarek had wanted to wait for the rest of the team but he thought that the X-Men though they were good wouldn't be able to fight in the trees which is where Jarek was going to start the battle. Jarek sent out a mental cry that said, "Professor keep the X-Men close to the mansion so that they can guard the mansion and everyone inside. I will try to stop the invaders out here in the trees."
Jarek didn't know if Xavier had heard him or not but Jarek knew that he had to strike fear into the hearts of the men down below him. Jarek had been feared by everyone for they knew that if he had been hired to kill you then you were dead. Jarek was going to use that reputation now to help him out with defeating the government men without killing them. The assassins on the other hand Jarek knew he was going to have to kill in order to keep Gambit safe. He owed Jubilee that much. Jarek didn't like Gambit all that well and he hadn't forgiven him for trading the girls for his safety but Jarek wouldn't let Gambit die since that would crush Jubilee and he couldn't let one of his friends be sad for something that he could have prevented.
Jarek knew that the assassins would split off from the government boys and so Jarek decided to go after the government boys first. He jumped down from the tree and trailed behind them tracking them. He saw them in front of him after he had been following them for about ten minutes. He climbed up the nearest tree then and decided that he would attack from above. He could take them by surprise better that way.
He moved from tree to tree. He used his power of jumping from shadow to shadow to make it from tree to tree. He knew that power was going to help him out when he finally attacked them. Jarek was a tree in front of the group when the wind started to pick up and small dead branches started to fly from the trees and strike the men below. The wind picked up even more and Jarek wrapped his arms around a large branch in the tree.
Down below the men were wondering where the wind was coming from. They had not been told that there was a storm on the way and this was definitely a storm and it was an unexpected one at that. They had been told by a scientist the same one that had wanted Jarek alive for so many years, that they could kill Jarek now. It was an order that the men had been waiting for. They were tired of losing their fellows to this man who killed without any remorse. The only thing that they could be thankful for was that the men in their group had no family at all.
As the leader thought about that he ran through a list of names that had been killed by Jarek. Not a one of them had a family or at least if they did that family didn't claim them anymore. He only killed when forced most of the time and he always made it quick. The man started to wonder if they were hunting him because the scientist had a problem with Jarek because the men hadn't until Jarek had killed some of them.
The wind picked up even more and now the men couldn't move forward, it was blowing so hard. Some of the men put their hands in front of their faces to try and block the wind from stinging their eyes. The wind still picked up and now they were thrown from their feet. The men tumbled through the air and the hit trees and fell unconscious. The leader though was still moving and that was when he looked up as he was thrown head over heels. He saw their quarry in a tree. Jarek was holding onto the tree as his body was whipped in the wind. The man knew then that this was indeed a freak Storm since Jarek wasn't doing it. Then the man slammed into a tree and everything went black.
The wind died down and Jarek was glad for that. Jarek guessed that his mental cry hadn't been heard. Of course it could have and Xavier had still felt it necessary to send the team out to held Jarek. Jarek didn't really care since the men had been taken care of quite easily.
Jarek smiled as he jumped down from the tree. He knew that the men would not have guessed that the wind was made by a mutant. Jarek guessed that they thought it was a storm and in that respect they were indeed right. At that time Storm stepped into view and Jarek smiled at her. Jarek shook his head and wondered when smiling had started to come to him.
"Well I guess they are taken care of," Storm said.
"Indeed they are Storm. That was quite the good way to deal with them. I am impressed," Jarek said still smiling.
"What is that on your face Jarek," Storm asked all serious.
"What do you mean Storm," as Jarek's smile disappeared and he felt his face for any large gashes or blood. He didn't feel anything and that is when Storm smiled at him.
"I meant that smile or your face. It was nice to see. I am glad that I got the chance to see it," Storm said in all seriousness.
"Oh I see," Jarek said as he walked over to a man who was laying on the ground against a tree unconscious. He reached down and took the man's .45 caliber pistol from it's holster. He then took the man's two extra clips and held them in his left hand.
Jarek turned to Storm then and said. "The smile is gone now and I have a job to do. I have three assassins to take care of and one of them is going to tell me why they were here and why they want to kill me, my sister, and Gambit," Jarek said in a business tone of voice and Storm knew that he meant to kill the assassins. It was something that she couldn't believe. She knew that killing was sometimes necessary but to kill like Jarek was going to do was wrong. Of course she wasn't sure that she wouldn't do what he was going to do if she was in his place. She knew that family and friends were the only reason that Jarek was living. They were what he lived for and he would do whatever it took to keep them safe. It was something that she admired and she could almost believe that Jarek wouldn't kill the assassins unless he was forced to. She had to hope that at least.
Jarek turned and headed off towards the mansion where he knew the assassins were. He knew the three of them or at least he had at one point. The three of them were friends and yet enemies. When it called for it they banded together for job but they were never friends. Jarek knew that the one who was leading them was known as Marafice. He was one of the greatest assassins that the world had ever seen and he was also a mutant.
* * * * *
The three assassins had broke off from the government boys just as Jarek had thought and then they had broken off from each other thinking that if they did it would be harder for them to be beaten. They knew their job well and the X-Men didn't know how to deal with the assassins since they wouldn't fight fair or fight them head on.
Cyclops was standing by the front door guarding it when he felt a knife cut into his arm. Cyclops looked around but couldn't see anything, but he heard someone laughing nearby. "I am the best and there is nothing you can do to beat me," Cyclops heard a voice say.
Cyclops was in trouble he thought. He couldn't see the man and he was afraid that he was invisible of course when Cyclops turned to look around his arm hurt as something pulled in his arm. He looked over at his arm and saw a very small spike protruding from his arm. That was what had hit him not a knife. It made since. The man was close but he wasn't invisible. That was a relief Cyclops thought.
Cyclops moved away from the door and started to look around fast trying to watch all directions at once. He was trained in combat so his training would come in handy here fighting this man Cyclops knew. Cyclops had, also been warned by Xavier that he should show no mercy to the man for he had done things that most men would consider repulsive. Cyclops knew for the professor to say that then the man must have done some very bad things. The professor had never told them to kill anyone and yet he had basically said to kill the assassins. Cyclops didn't think he could just kill the man unless it was in battle.
Cyclops was looking around and that was when his combat senses told him there was movement behind him. He turned around just in time to avoid another spike that had been thrown at him. The spike went flying right by where he had been standing the moment before. Cyclops leapt forward and hit the ground. He looked up and fired his beam but the man jumped aside.
The man pulled another spike from his belt and threw it at Cyclops who rolled out of the way and came up to his feet firing in the direction of where the man had been standing. There was no one there though and his beam hit a tree and knocked it over. Cyclops saw movement when the tree hit the ground and he fired at the movement. He hit the man who slammed into a tree and slowly rose to his feet. That was when he heard a voice that sounded like Jarek yell at him, "What in the hell are you doing. You trying to kill your own teammate here. Man what kind of leader are you."
Cyclops was not sure that the voice did actually belong to Jarek so he moved over to where the man was kneeling. As he drew nearer sure enough it was Jarek and he was holding his chest. "I'm sorry about that Jarek but I am being attacked and I can't find the man now," Cyclops said as he knelt down beside Jarek and started to help him stand.
Jarek looked up and saw one of the three assassins. He was standing about thirty feet behind Cyclops and he had a throwing spike in his hand. The man smiled at Jarek and started to bring his arm forward. Jarek shoved Cyclops aside as the spike buried itself into Jarek's shoulder. Cyclops turned and fired his beam at the man and hit him in the chest. He had forgotten that the man was just that a man and not a mutant. His beam made the man fly through the air and he hit the ground hard. Jarek and Cyclops walked over to the man and before either of them knelt down they knew that he was dead. The force of the beam was enough to crush his ribs and puncture his heart and lungs.
"I didn't want to kill him. I just wanted to stop him but I forgot that he was just a human and not a mutant," Cyclops said in shock.
"It is alright Scott. You didn't kill him for he was already dead. He just didn't know it yet. Due to the things that he had done in his life it was just a matter of time before someone killed him," Jarek said trying to make Cyclops feel better and knowing that nothing he said at the moment would help.
Cyclops fell to his knees and just sat there. Jarek knew that he had to get Cyclops inside or he would be killed by the remaining two assassins since he would be an easy target. Jarek picked him up and carried him inside the mansion. There he sat Cyclops down and said, "Cyclops the man had it coming. I will tell you this and I want you to think on it. You will carry around his death with you that is true but you will also carry around the knowledge that you saved many a person from death by his hands. You saved women and children for that man had killed them before to get what he wanted. He raped women and tortured children. All three of these assassins had done these things so don't feel bad about it Cyclops. I wish that I had killed him for you so that way you didn't have to deal with his death."
Jarek stood up and moved away from Cyclops knowing that he had to deal with the man's death on his own. Jarek knew all about death and how one had to deal with your first few. Cyclops would have a harder time dealing with the death since he had been brought up knowing that killing was wrong. He also was older and so dealing with it would be more difficult since he knew that killing was wrong.
Jarek left Cyclops on his own in the hall and he went in search of the next assassin. He knew that he couldn't get Marafice if he didn't take care of the other one first. He had an a scent and that was what he would follow. He couldn't follow Marafice because his mutant power, or at least part of his power, was the ability to mask his scent. It was what made him an excellent assassin. Dogs couldn't smell him and neither could anything else. It made him extremely dangerous and Jarek had a feeling that he had been hired by someone who hated Jarek himself.
* * * * *
Jean was using her ability to find one of the assassins. He was near she could tell because his thoughts were pounding at her. She didn't even need to try to read his thoughts for they were open for all to hear if they had the ability. She didn't read his thoughts but followed them to where he was. She rounded a corner of the mansion and saw him trying to get into the mansion through one of the windows. Luckily they had locked them all but she knew that wouldn't stop him and she was right. As she watched he punched through the glass.
"Stop right there," Jean yelled to the man. He stopped and turned to look at her. When he saw that it was a woman he smiled evilly. His smile chilled Jean's blood and sent a shiver up her spine.
"Well, well, look at the little lady acting tough. Hey wench I think that I will have some fun with you before I take care of the three people I was sent here to kill. Even assassins get lonely you know. Come here and keep me warm since it so cold," the man said warmly to Jean.
"Who are you here to kill? Why do you want to kill anyone," Jean asked the man wanting to know who he was here to kill.
"I am here to kill Jarek, his little sister, and Gambit. I am contractually obligated to kill the three of them. Of course anyone else along the way is just for fun," the man said as he licked his lips.
He flung his arm forward and a knife flew towards Jean. She held up her hand and the knife stopped in mid air. She had no desire to kill the man so she just let the knife fall. The man though pulled a gun from his cloths and pulled down on Jean. "Let's see you stop a barrage of bullets," he said as he started to pull the trigger.
Just as she thought that her life was about to end a barrage of gunshots rang out through the crisp winter air. Not one shot but about fifteen shots. Everyone was shot at the man and everyone hit him in the chest. Jean looked up and saw Jarek standing on the roof. How he had gotten up there she didn't know but she was thankful for him being there. Jarek leapt down from the roof and landed near Jean. "I couldn't let him kill you Jean. I didn't know if you had control of him or not but I just couldn't let you die," Jarek said to her.
She knew that he was telling her the truth. She was sure that he wouldn't let her die now that he considered her his friend. She also knew that she didn't have enough combat time to be trying to kill a assassin even if he was just human. She had nearly been killed because she didn't think that he had a gun. That was a mistake that one day would cost her, her life.
Jarek walked over to the man and knelt down next to him. Every shot had hit the man and he knew that he was dying. He wanted to know something first though before the man died. "Tell me who hired you," Jarek said to the man. Blood flowed from the side of his mouth and he closed his eyes and died leaving Jarek's question unanswered.
"Damn it anyway. I need to know who hired these men. It had to be someone in the government. That is the only way that they would have worked with the army when they came here to get us," Jarek said musing.
"He said that he had been hired to kill Gambit, you, and your sister if that helps you out any Jarek," Jean said hoping that it would help.
Jarek looked up to her and said, "You need to go to Cyclops for he had to kill one of the assassins. It is eating him up inside and right now he needs you. I will deal with the last assassin. I will deal with Marafice. He is too deadly to let anyone else worry about"
Jarek walked away from her and she wondered how this man was so deadly that he made Jarek want to deal with him on his own. There must have been something about him that was deadly, or else Jarek wouldn't have said that. She knew that much about him. She hoped that he could take care of himself and the others as she went in search of Cyclops.
* * * * *
Jarek had a scent and he started to follow it. He knew where it was going before he got there. The scent went to a back window high up in the mansion. He started to the wall and started to climb the problem was the wall was too slick for him to climb. That was when Rogue appeared from one of the lower windows. "You need any help there Jarek," she said smiling.
"Yeah can you get me up to that window. I know that I am heavy but I think that you can fly me up there," Jarek said.
"Why don't you just come in this window," She wondered.
"Because the man went in that window and I can't head him off. I need to follow him to be sure that I find him," Jarek told her.
"Ok I can get you up there Jarek," Rogue said hoping that she told him the truth. She stepped out of the window and jumped the couple of feet to the ground. She then walked over to Jarek and he knelt down.
"What are you doing," she asked.
"I am kneeling down so that you can hold me by my shoulders. Fly up and put your hands under my arms at my armpits. It will be the best way that you can carry me," Jarek answered her quickly.
Rogue reached under his arms like he said and flew up. He was indeed heavy and she had trouble holding him as she flew up to the window. She flew close to the window and Jarek opened the window and she flew even closer. Jarek then put his feet on the sill and said, "Now shove me into the room."
Rogue positioned her hands on his back and shoved him as hard as she could. Jarek tumbled into the room and she landed in right behind him. "What are we doing," she asked.
"I am hunting down the assassin that was sent here to kill my sister and Gambit," Jarek said angrily for he knew he was far behind the man.
"Can I help," Rogue asked.
"Just stay close to me because I don't want the man to find anyone off by themselves for he will kill them," Jarek said as he started forward down the hall following the scent.
* * * * *
Marafice smiled as he saw the room with the people he needed to kill in it. He had passed a couple of rooms without being noticed since he could blend in with his surroundings. His mutant power was much like a chameleon's ability to change color to suit his surroundings. The power served him well so that he didn't have to deal with anyone but the ones he was sent here for.
The room held five people in it and he wondered if he could defeat them all or if some of them had any abilities that he would have to worry about. He had been told that the only ones with powers would be Gambit, Jarek, and his sister. The school was a school for the gifted and so he was told that the only people there would be just that, gifted youngsters.
He also knew that such a place would be a perfect hideout for his prey and that was why they were there. He knew that they could hide amongst a school and no one would even think of them being mutants there. They would blend in with the students and be a part of the school.
Marafice put on his gas mask and pulled out his handheld gas gun. It shot a small bullet that exploded filling a room with tear gas in no time at all. It was best used in situations like the one he was handed here. It would incapacitate the people in the room and make his job a whole lot easier.
He grabbed the door handle and yanked the door open and fired his gun. He pulled the door closed as soon as he fired the gun but as the door closed the door exploded outward knocking him against the wall across the hall. He hit the wall HARD and he slowly started to rise. He pulled his automatic pistol from his leg sheath and started to fire into the room.
He started forward into the room but when he entered the room there was no one there and the window was closed so he knew that they hadn't left that way. At that time the wall exploded and a woman morphed through the wall next to him. He turned on her and shot but his bullets went right through her.
He looked over to the hole in the wall and standing there was Gambit. His eyes held a bit of anger in them. Gambit was holding a glowing card in his hand and he said, "Hey mon ami. It ain't good for de health to attack friends o mine. Dat was de wrong ting to do."
Gambit threw the card and the man ducked it as the card hit the wall and exploded. Gambit stepped forward and next came a girl wearing a yellow jacket who shot bursts of energy at him. They hit him but didn't hurt him for the girl didn't know how to use her power properly. The partially blinded him so that all he could see was spots but he could deal with that.
He stood up and his eyes started to clear. Just then he felt his feet getting cold. He tried to step forward and couldn't. He looked down and saw that his feet were covered in solid ice and he was held down by that same ice. He started to get mad. They were just kids and he was the best assassin that had walked the earth ever!
He closed his eyes and the room darkened. Next he reached down inside the ice and felt for the atoms. From there he split them and the ice exploded outward sending shards every which way hitting the X-Men. He looked around then and saw that the darkness had the group confused. He smiled for it was all just an illusion. His powers weren't really that special they just worked good for him because he knew how to use them. His splitting of the atoms only worked rarely and at a great cost to himself. If he ever tried anything of any size he would kill himself before he split the atoms in the item.
He knew that he was going to win now as he pulled down on gambit with his gun. He smiled and said, "Sorry kids but I have a job to do and I don't get paid until I have proof of your deaths."
* * * * *
Jarek was running down the halls with Rogue trailing him. He didn't know if he was going to get there in time and that was when he heard a explosion. He knew where it had come from. It had come from his sister's room and they were half the mansion away from there. He picked up the pace and Rogue started to fly in order to keep up with him.
Jarek heard another explosion then and another after that. He heard gunfire and he was sure that he was going to be too late. As he ran thoughts of his sister ran through his head and how he failed her. He had promised that he would keep her safe and he had failed.
He rounded a corner and saw devastation. There was parts of the wall to his sister's room laying in the hallway and there were empty casings laying on the floor. Jarek ran down the hall and heard, "Sorry kids but I have a job to do and I don't get paid until I have proof of your deaths."
"NOOOO," Jarek yelled as he charged into the room. He found Marafice with the gun trained on Gambit and the rest of them looking around as if they couldn't see. He was moving towards Marafice when Marafice turned around and fired.
* * * * *
"NOOOO," Marafice heard Jarek yell. He knew that it was him.
Damn thought Marafice. I am not going to get to deal with these before Jarek gets here. Marafice wondered why the hell Jarek couldn't just wait until he was done here. It would be professional courtesy after all but of course he knew that Jarek wouldn't ever allow that.
Marafice turned and fired knowing full well that he wouldn't hit Jarek because he was too good to allow himself to be hit. The thing was that he did hit Jarek. He hit him a half dozen times but none hit any vital spot. He didn't know why he had hit Jarek and then he noticed a girl floating behind Jarek and he knew that Jarek had been willing to sacrifice himself for the girl. He shook his head.
"Jarek you are going soft on me. What is up with saving the girl when you wouldn't have been hit otherwise," Marafice asked.
* * * * *
"I am not going soft I am just seeing things a little differently is all," Jarek growled back.
Jarek was not happy with himself or with Marafice. He was going to have to kill Marafice he knew that right away. He just didn't want to do it in front of his friends. "Jarek I have been hired to kill you and once I have I will retire. You see you will be my crowning jewel. The great Shadow Assassin himself killed by me Marafice. It will be great to look back on," Marafice said happily as he pulled down on Jarek again.
Jarek smiled and said, "I'm afraid that I won't allow you to kill me or anyone else." Jarek charged forward and ducked just as Marafice pulled the trigger. Jarek plowed into Marafice and picked him up. Jarek held him and ran through the wall and they plummeted the three stories to the ground.
Jarek landed hard and slowly rose to his feet. Marafice was in worse shape though. He had a broken arm and was limping around. Jarek smiled at him and said, "You have two choices. One is that I can kill you right here. The other is that you tell me who hired you and then you can go back and tell him that I am on my way."
"Fine I will tell you. His name is Sinister. He is a scientist who is quite mad. He is also the one who hired me to kill you and your sister. He wants you to die. He is a mutant as well and he will hunt you down now that I have failed," Marafice said.
"You tell him that I will find him and end him," Jarek said but Marafice was shaking his head.
"I won't because I am dead now," Marafice said as he pulled a knife from his sheath and drove it into his own chest.
* * * * *
Everyone was recovering from the attack and the government men had their memories cleared of ever having been to the mansion. Cyclops had recovered as well from the shock of killing the man. He had help though from Jean who helped him through the self inflicting pain. It had been a full five days since the attacks. Everyone was forgetting about it already because they were all very good at it. They had learned to not let things like that matter to them.
Jarek had helped everyone else who needed it. His mind though was else-where. He was thinking of the man named Sinister who wanted him dead. He didn't know what he had done to him but it must have been bad. He knew that he had done some things that were bad. He had to deal with them and so he did.
That was when he, was approached by his sister Andrea, and Kitty. His sister looked at him and had a question in her eyes. Jarek could tell it was one that she didn't want to ask so he prompted her by saying, "What is it sis."
"That man Marafice said that you were like him. He had said that you were a assassin. Is that true," she asked with fear in her voice.
Jarek looked at Kitty then and he noticed that she was wondering the same thing and he saw the fear his sister felt reflected in Kitty's eyes. He knew that he couldn't lie to them and couldn't avoid telling them any longer. "Yes I was a assassin for a time. I was one of the best. I killed people who needed it though. Never did I kill a man who had family that loved him or any such thing. Everyone I killed deserved it more than anything else in the world," Jarek said hoping that his sister and Kitty wouldn't be repulsed by him.
"Why Jarek. Why would you become a assassin," Kitty asked with a bit of hurt in her voice. Jarek knew that he had hurt her by telling her that. She had thought that he was something else and now she had found out what he really was.
"I became an assassin because it was the only thing that I was good at. I was trained to be that and so I embraced it at the time. Later I decided that it was wrong and so I quit though that can't erase what I had done. Being an assassin was truly the only thing that I have ever been good at. I had no equal when it came to being a killer. It was why I was called Shadow," Jarek said.
"Why couldn't you tell us sooner," Kitty asked.
"I wanted to but I just couldn't. I feared that you would all hate me and turn me away and so I didn't tell you. I had finally found a home and I wanted to stay. I am truly sorry for not telling you," Jarek said as he turned and started to walk away knowing that Kitty and his sister would not want anything to do with him.
"Where are you going," Andrea asked.
"Away. It seems that I bring nothing but pain and suffering to everyone here. I wish to leave so that none of you have to worry about it anymore," Jarek said sadly.
"I don't think so Jarek. You are going with all of us to the concert. We bought you a ticket and you are going with us. There is nothing that you can do or say to change our minds," Kitty said. She wanted Jarek to go since it would be like the only official date that they had ever had.
"No one is worried about this coming back to haunt you. About having some more men show up and attack you out at the concert," Jarek asked.
"No you see the professor told us to go and have fun. He said that we all needed to have some fun since there had been a lot happening around here. He wanted us to go and forget about being mutants for awhile," Andrea said.
"Well I guess that I can go then," Jarek said.
"Good it is tomorrow. Now go and get yourself some rest," Kitty said. Jarek left them then and did just that.
* * * * *
Andrea and Kitty were becoming friends fast of course Andrea was becoming friends with most of them quite fast. She liked Jubilee, Bobby, Kitty, Rogue, and Gambit the best out of them all though. They were her age and it was easy to make friends with them.
She walked down the hall with Kitty and into Kitty's room where the rest of them were. Jubilee was sitting next to Gambit on the bed and Rogue was sitting next to Logan who hadn't done much during the attack. He had been out hunting to see if there were any other men around the mansion. It was what he had been told to do and so he had. He was a part of the team and so did his job.
Bobby was sitting in a chair and Andrea walked over and sat on his lap. She liked Bobby a lot and hoped that he liked her as well. Of course Jarek and Bobby didn't get along all that well but Jarek was making an effort for Andrea and she was grateful for that. The info that they had just learned about though made her wonder about her brother though.
He had been an assassin. It was disturbing to know that he had been a killer for a time. She knew that it didn't really matter to her though since she cared about her brother and he admitted to not killing anyone who didn't deserve death. She wondered what Kitty was thinking about it as Bobby wrapped his arms around her.
* * * * *
Kitty was sitting in the only other chair in the room. She was thinking about what Jarek had admitted to. He had been an assassin and she couldn't hardly believe it. That would explain the evasion though when he was asked where he got the money for the gifts at Christmas time.
She didn't really care though she was just hurt that he didn't tell her before now. She had hoped that he would tell her anything and trust her with anything. He hadn't though and he hid it from her. That was the part that hurt her more than anything for she knew that he would have never killed anyone who didn't deserve it just like he had said.
"So is he going to the concert with us," Bobby asked.
"Yeah he is. He didn't want to but we convinced him," Andrea said back to Bobby as he rubbed her stomach.
"Ya know something. This will be the first time that Jarek actually goes out and has fun I think," Jubilee said smiling.
"I tink you right chere. Jarek and Kitty will be on der first real date as well right," Gambit said.
Kitty blushed a bit at that but didn't look away from everyone who turned to look at her and smile. She smiled back then with her cheeks still red and said, "Yeah it will be so what of it."
"Nothing it is just that Jarek is so different. I would've thought that had he really liked you he would have asked you out on a date," Bobby answered.
"Jarek isn't like that Bobby you know that as well as anyone. He would cut off parts of your body that would make you incapable of having children if you attempted anything with his sister remember. You know that most would just say that but Jarek just might carry out that threat," Kitty said smiling.
"So that is what he would cut off huh," Andrea asked smiling at Bobby who blushed.
"Among other things," Bobby answered and they all laughed at that.
They knew that they would all have fun at the concert. They would make Jarek have fun. They hadn't been out as a group in quite a while and they really needed the time away from the mansion. Besides there would be two X-Men with them both Logan and Jarek and so they thought that no one would be foolish enough to try anything.

Sinister was standing in his dark room and his eyes blazed. Jarek and the others had lived through the attack. Sinister would make sure that they didn't live though the next. The tracking device that he had placed in Jarek so many years ago was still in place and working nicely. He would be able to find his troublesome experiment with ease.
He smiled evilly and he summoned his men. They would do the next attack and if Jarek lived through that one then he would have to find a different way to kill him. They would attack him on the morrow. Sinister's blood started to rush through his veins and his eyes glowed. His heart beat faster and he felt a thrill of excitement at the thought of actually fighting his own creation. It would be quite fun and educational. He would also eliminate the troublesome Jarek at the same time as having himself some fun.
He started to laugh and even his own men felt a chill go up their spines. None of them had ever seen Sinister act this way. He was truly mad it seemed to them and that made him dangerous. None of them knew what he would do. All they knew was that they were told to make sure that they killed Andrea so that Jarek would lose all thought and act like an animal so that he would be easier to deal with.
