Title: Yep, you guessed it... it's *still* Felix ZeyfPO2-4194
Author: Wow, another lucky guess! Blimey The Toad is still the author!
Chapter 4: Moving On
A/N: I recieved a review saying that they'd like to see Felix meet up with his parents before the teen years... well, I decided to try it out. This differs from my dream, and I still want to do a purely dream-line soon... but what the heck, here it goes...

Wheaton, MO, en route to Fayetteville, AR

On the way home from the lab in Oklahoma, Morgan and Toby tried to find out more about the three children, while Clive and Lucy listened. The plan had worked perfectly: as soon as they had given te drugs to Sabretooth, he'd gone to his room to test the merchandise. Now they were starting to realize the implications of their "kidnapping" the children.

All three were mutants, although that was pretty obvious. All were at least a second generation mutant, and the red-eyed child was a third generation*, and none of them remembered life before they came to "Mr. Sinister", as they called him. He was the boss "Mr. Creed" was so afraid of, and had a reason to be, if going by what the children said. There was "Miss Teek", who was even more cruel than Mr. Creed, and was a blue shape-shifter with yellow eyes. They didn't like to talk about her much at all. She remained a mystery to them. ('Perhaps she is the mother of the young girl...?' Thought Clive) There was Rodrigo, who basically ignored the children altogether, and had the power to move things with his mind, as well as create shields of mental energy. The only one that sounded even remotely like he had a conscience was Blur, a mutant with the ability to "hit things real hard and move real fast", according to the young girl, whom they later found out was named Samantha.

Samantha and Yuffie's mutations had already asserted themselves, but the red-eyed boys had not. He was apparently too young, and sadly also lacked a name.

"Well, we can't keep calling you 'kid'. What do you want ta be named? Hell, you'll get the chance I never got-ta name m'self."

"I don't know any, though. I ain' really heard much names..."

"Well, whadda ya like? Maybe we can choose somethin' for ya, somethin' more fittin' then ZeyfPO2-4194, huh?"

The boy looked deep in thought, then his eyes grew wide and he smiled. "I like the dragon! Can I be Lucy, too?"

The three Masters exchanged glances, and Lucy blushed. "Well", said Toby, " Maybe. How bout tryin' somethin' else, though? Give us somethin' ta go on, 'sides just Lucy?"

He pointed towards Toby's black shirt, at the black and white cat smiling broadly across it, and 'Felix The Cat' scrawled across the bottom in red. "I like the happy kitty! He's all smilin'..."

'It's better than Lucy, I guess', thought Clive. "Alright, kid. Felix it is."

X-Mansion, same day:

Rogue had eventually gotten over the ordeal with Sinsiter, although she occasionally had nightmares about what the child-her child-must be going through. About three months after being attacked by Sinister, Rogue had completely recovered physically, and mostly recovered mentally. She and a special group of X-Men, consisting of Gambit, Wolverine, Storm, and Jean had gone in search of Sinister's new lab, and had searched for about 2 months, going on every lead they had, checking out every old, abandoned building they could find. They found nothing, however.

Xavier had searched daily for the first couple of months after the child would have been born, and then weekly after that, but continually came up with nothing. Knowing Sinister, he would have the area in which he kept the experiments blocked off from telepathic scanning, however, and knowing what he knew about both Rogue's and Gambit's mental shields, by the time the child was old enough to escape, or work for Sinister if it came to that, he would already have such strong shields in place, and perfected them so that he would be untrackable anyways; however, at Rogue's urging, he kept up the search, futile as it may be.

September 4, 2000
Fayetteville, AR-

The first few days had gone off without a hitch. The children had been introduced to the other Master's Of Vengence: Maxwell, aka "Trippy"; Steve Collins, a human associate who could use just about any weapon he was given a chance to use and make deadly use of it, and, as a human, could get into FoH rallies and the such, and find out their next target; He was called "Renegade". Jeff Simone had the ability to turn himself invisible, physically and visually, and was called "Void". Simon Frankenberger had the ability to fly, as well as move at incredible speeds, perhaps because of the flying aspect of his powers. At any rate, he could swim, run, and climb at almost unbelieveable speeds. He was called "Fish"**. Lindi Davis was the tallest next to "Trippy", at 6'2", and she had the ability to shapeshift-however, she had to have made physical contact with that person at least once before, but she had access to the mind of the person she shifted to, and all thoughts, memories, and mutant abilities of that mind, everything that they knew, up to the point that she'd touched them last. She was called "Random".

The first two days, they bought clothes for the children with the money from the drug sell to Sabretooth, and basically let them settle in. They explained that the house was basically a place for young adults who had been forced to leave their homes for whatever reason, and were offered a second chance. They tried to learn from each other, they attended a mutant-friendly Unitarian school nearby, and tried to make the world a better place with their gifts. They offered a permanent residence to the three children, who graciously accepted the offer.

The following weeks, before school started, were filled with tutoring sessions, in both regular studies: reading, mathematics, et cetera, as well as training in their mutant "gifts". Everything was going great for them, the children were finally starting to make real progress and were finding their place in the little world of Fayetteville, Arkansas. Until an unexpected arrival showed up out of the blue...

*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

During a training seesion in the back yard, where Samantha, Yuffie, and Felix were practicing their physical skills, doing warm-ups followed by jumping jacks and sit-ups***, a silver-skinned man with red, penetrating eyes, and a scowl distorting his already unusual features, showed up. He appeared out of the blue, behind Clive who was leading the workout. Clive didn't even notice him until he saw the expressions of pure hate and fear spread instantly over the children's faces. Felix's eyes were rimmed with tears, and Yuffie cowered behind Samantha.

"It's... Mister... Sinister." Choked out Samantha, who tried to hold her ground and look tough, but her voice gave it away instantly.

Clive didn't say anything at first; he saw why the kids were afraid of him, not even counting the experimentations. Sinister *looked* like the embodiment of the words "cruel" and "insane". He was like a nightmare creature, but was standing out here in the same yard as him, in broad daylight.

"What do ya want? If ya want the kids back, ya not gettin' 'em. I heard what ya did, and I would die before you'll do that again." Clive managed to keep his voice steady, and his green eyes flashed fury, but his emotions were still overwhelmed by fear.

"That can be arranged, child." Sabretooth and a browm haired man, whom they assumed to be Blur, appeared to either side of him.

"Ya'll, get in the house, quick! Get th' rest of th' team out here, *now*!" Clive yelled to them. He knew what they wanted, and would stay by his promise despite his fear. He would die to protect the innocents.

As soon as the kids took off running, Sabretooth ran at him with a snarl. He jumped, claws first, at his torso. Clive sidestepped him and landed a blow at the back of his head, but it seemed to do nothing. Sabretooth just smiled a toothy grin, and doubled back around. About that time, Toby, Lucy, Steve, Jeff, and Lindi ran out of the house. They took one look at the scene and realized what had happened. Sinister came back to reclaim what he saw as his own. Clive was currently outmatched, but not for long. Jeff suddenly turned invisible, and Steve took out a long knife from the sheath hanging at his side. Lindi took off running towards Sabretooth, trying to touch him and gain access to his powers, and fend him off Clive. Toby jumped on Lucy's back, as she took flight towards Sinister. Blur decided now was the time to make his entrance, and took off after Steve.

Lindi made it to Sabretooth, covering his eyes with her hands, making contact. He grabbed her and threw her off almost instantly, but she had all she needed. Before she hit the ground, she had become Sabretooth. He just stared at her for a moment, then took after her, Clive momentarily forgotten. Clive ran towards Steve to help him out against Blur.

Toby and Lucy had made it to Sinister first. The man remained standing there, with his arms crossed, seeming to not even notice the dragon flying at him at full speed. His grin grew wider than it was, then he raised his hands, as soon as Lucy was within grabbing distance. Toby went flying off, landing in a heap a few yards away. Sinister grabbed Lucy by the throat, and proceded to choke her, the grin never leaving his face. Lucy cried out in pain, and then in fear as she struggled to escape. However, she couldn't get free. After few moments, she went limp. She was still alive, but had ceased her struggle.

Jeff was currently making his way to Sinister, unseen. When he got there, he didn't know quite what he would do, but he knew he had to do something or else Lucy would die. He did the only thing he knew-poked him in the eyes. Sinister's grin faded suddenly, replace by a confused scowl. He kept his left eye, the one Jeff had jabbed, closed. 'Wow, he was affected by it!' thought Jeff excitedly, as he jabbed his other eye, bringing a growl of pain from the metallic monster, who dropped the dragon in a pile at his feet. Sabretooth moved his vision from Clive and the shape of himself, to his boss. In that moment, Steve had somehow managed to get in a good shot on Blur, who was currently bleeding from the deep puncture in his gut. He continued trying to fight, but he wasn't nearly as fast as he was normally, giving Clive the edge he needed. One quick blow to the back of the head from Clive's fist sent Blur to the ground, temporarily knocked out.

Felix, Samantha, and Yuffie exitted the house, having seen all of everything that was happening. When the situation was to the point where they thought they could help, they jumped in. Samantha stayed off to the side with Felix, while Yuffie walked, quietly, towards Sinister. He looked him in the face, and closed his eyes. No one understood what was happening, but Sinister's swearing had come to a stop. He expression dropped, and a blank look shone over his face. He suddenly started convulsing, and fell to the ground. Yuffie remained calm, and his eyes stayed shut. Sabretooth, who was the only conscience member of the team, growled a warning to the kids, who were all still in defensive positions, and disappeared, along with the other two.

Yuffie, feeling his connection was ended, opened his eyes, turned around, and made his way back over to Samantha and Felix. All the while he kept his face in a calm expression.

The Master's Of Vengence all looked towards each other, then back at Yuffie. They had no idea what had just occured, and didn't really care, as long as everybody was safe. They then noticed a weak Toby sobbing over a fallen, injured dragon.

Alright, I can't do fight scenes... hope you enjoyed, anyways. As for the asterisk:
*I like Gambit as a second gen. mutant (I heard he was, could be mistaken, but I don't care! I like it better that way), therefore, his son would be a third gen. See?
**Thsi was the name my dream came up with. What Fish has to do with flight and super-speed, I don't know, but I'm writing from my dream, and dreams sometimes don't make a lot of sense sometimes...
***They're kids, therefore they would do kid-excercises, such as jumping jacks, right? I mean, a little three year old couldn't practice fight sequences, right?

Shall I continue? Please review. The reviews are the things that have kept me writing. Thanks, you guys!
