Chapter 13 - Unlucky for some



The next morning showed no change in Sidney's behaviour. She had come down to breakfast with a scowl and taken her food away from everyone else to eat alone. Fred on the other hand was acting even stranger, he refused to eat breakfast, claiming that he didn't want to load up on carbohydrates that early in the morning. This behaviour was really starting to unerve the other members of the Brotherhood.

"I think that phsyco Xavier is controlin' their minds", said Todd.

"Yeah, i bet he's listening to us right now", said Pietro looking around nervously, "he's probably trying to recruit us".

"Will you two listen to yourselves?", said Lance, rolling his eyes, "if Xavier wanted us to join him, he would have done it by now. Did you just think for one second that they both might be having an off day?".

"Okay, Lance, Freddy doesn't want to eat his breakfast", said Pietro, shaking his head, "don't you find that a little....disturbing?".

"Well yeah", said Lance with a shrug, "but he might just have finally decided to go on a diet. I mean, its about time".

"Yeah, well what about cat-girl over there?", said Pietro pointing to Sidney, who was perched on the kitchen cabinet, not listening to them, "okay, i know she's usually nasty to me at the best of times. But she's never acted this way towards Frogger".

"Yeah", said Todd looking up from his cereal, "she's startin' ta make me feel guilty, but i don't know what ive done ta upset her".

"You haven't done anything Frogger", said Pietro rubbing his chin, "'cause Xavier is controling her mind!".

"Will you shut up...", Lance began, but was interupted by the sound of a motorbike pulling into the Brotherhood's driveway, "oh finally, Sabertooth. Someone with half a brain cell i can communicate with".

Sabertooth walked into the Brotherhood house and into the kitchen.

"Hi Mr Creed", said Pietro, hardly noticing the huge mutant enter. They were used to Sabertooth's presence now, and he didn't freak them out as much as he used to.

"Hi Speedy", said Sabertooth, walking over to Sidney, "and how's my lovely neice today?".

Sabertooth's smile had turned into a frown when he got over to Sidney, he sniffed the air tentatively. Before anyone could react, he gave a snarl and grabbed Sidney by the throat, picking her up and slamming her against the wall.

"Woah, what are you doing Sabertooth?", said Lance jumping up, "thats Sid your attacking!".

"No it isn't", said Sabertooth with a growl, then looked at the young mutant struggling under his grip, "i don't know who the heck ya are, but ya better tell me what ya did with my niece or i'll tear ya into shreds".

"Okay okay", said 'Sid', her voice changing to one with an English accent, "just let me go already".

Sabertooth dropped her, but still stood over her, offering her no chance for escape. The young mutant looked around before changing, suddenly, it was no longer Sidney in front of them, but a girl with brown hair, and blue eyes, only about 16. She looked around and frowned.

"I'm here on a mission with my brothers", she said, "our mother sent us. Mimic, you'd better get in here now!".

Fred came through the door and frowned at the girl sitting on the floor.

"You crack too easily under pressure sister", he said, in an English accent.

'Fred' then changed to a boy, identical to the girl, except for the fact that his hair was black.

"Dopleganger, why are you telling them our secrets?", he said.

Dopleganger pointed at Sabertooth

"He has enhanced senses, what am i supposed to do about it?. I can't hide my scent!", she said, frustrated.

"Well this explains why they've been acting wierd", said Lance.

Sabertooth gave a snarl.

"I'll ask you once more, where is my niece and the fat-boy?", he said, "you'd better take me to them, or you'll be dead".

"There at our mothers lab", said Mimic with a frown, "we were sent to cover up the three missing people until mother had finished with them".

"Three?", said Pietro.

"Yes, our other brother, Imitate, took the place of one of the people at the Xavier institute, Wolverine", said Dopleganger, "were triplets and all shapeshifters".

"Well ya better take us ta where ya stashin' em or i will cause you so much unbeliveable pain...", threatened Sabertooth.

"Okay, okay", said Mimic, "but we need our brother to open the gates to the lab, it's gentically incripted just to let us in when were all together".

"Fine", said Sbertooth with a snarl, "but no funny buisness".

"Oh yeah and the X-geeks are really gonna belive us", said Lance with a sigh.

"Oh they will", said Sabertooth with an evil grin, "as soon as they see 'Logan' change into their brother, they'll have no choice".

"So what have you guys done ta Sidney and Freddy?", asked Todd, who had been quiet for a long time, taking all of this in, "ya haven't hurt them have ya?".

"Our mother doesn't wish to hurt mutants", said Mimic simply, "she mearly wishes to learn how the X-gene works. She is a briliant scientist, she created me and my siblings in her lab".

"So your not even real mutants", said Pietro, crossing his arms.

"Yes we are", said Dopleganger, looking Pietro in the eyes, "we are just like you are".

"I've had enough of this", said Sabertooth with a snarl, grabbing the siblings, "were goin' ta the institute NOW!".



The very second the Brotherhood stepped foot on the institute grounds, all the X-men were out in fighting gear. Obviously, the precense of Sabertooth had worried them more than anything.

"Why are you attacking our home again?", asked Storm,angrily, the distant sound of thunder could be heard, "Logan, how did you not sense the presence of Sabertooth hours ago?".

"'Cause he ain't Logan toots", said Sabertooth, lifting up Mimic and Dopleganger in either hand, "he's an imposter".

"What are you talking about?", asked Scott, looking over at Logan.

'Logan' had noticed the two mutants in Sabertooth's grasp and groaned.

"You people are usless", he said with a sigh, "i don't mind, but you got the easiest job, and you still blew our cover".

The X-men looked on in shock as 'Logan' changed into a boy of sixteen, identical to his brother and sister, except for the fact that his hair was red.

"I...don't belive it", said Jean, blinking.

"Professor, you had better come out here", said Storm.

Xavier wheeled out and looked in surprise at the new mutants.

"Well that would describe Logan's strange behaviour of late", he said, his hand to his chin.

"What have you done to Logan?", said Evan, spikes apprearing around his shoulders and arms.

"They took Sid and Freddy too", said Lance, a slight tremor starting up in the ground.

"They want us to take them to their team mates Imitate", said Mimic with a sigh, "look i don't care how loyal we are to mother, i don't particually want to be beaten to a pulp by these guys".

"Fine!", said Imitate with a sigh, "but if she gets mad, it'll be on your heads".

"Storm, you and the others take the X-van, i'll stay here in mental contact", said Xavier, then turned to Sabertooth, "i trust you wish to find your niece and Fred?".

"Yeah i do", said Sabertooth with a snarl, "look i'm willin' ta call a temporary truce until we find 'em".

Xavier nodded.

"Very well, i suggest you all go now, and be carefull, X-men, remember what i taught you, always be on guard".

The X-men saluted and jumped into the X-van.

"Oh boy", said Pietro rolling his eyes, "trust us to have to go on a mission with the geek patrol".

"As long as we find Sid and Freddy, i don't care who we team with", said Todd, hopping into the van.

"He's right man", said Lance, climbing in, "it's worth the sacrifice".

"Yeah, for you", said Pietro as Lance took a seat next to Kitty.

"Happy birthday Kitty", he said with a smile.

"Thanks Lance, your, like, so sweet", said Kitty giving him a hug, "but this wans't exactly how i was planning on spending the day"..

"Kids", muttered Sabertooth under his breath as he took shotgun seat next to storm. He reached out an arm and grabbed Mimic.

"Ya gonna stay up front with us an' tell us where were goin' Kiddo", he said with a toothy grin, "i suggest ya stay still, it'd be a tragedy if one of my claws were ta 'acidentally' slip on yer throat".

Mimic gulped and nodded his head, looking pitifully behind him at his brother and sister sitting in the back, surrounded by very angry looking mutants.

"So how long have you been parading as out teammates?", asked Pierto, tapping Dolpeganger on the shoulder.

"Only since last night, i swear", she said, backing up, "i mean, when the cat-girl and that Logan guy chased each other into the woods, thats when me and Imitate took over from them, mother caught them herself".

"Yeh, well what about Freddy?", said Lance, crossing his arms.

"Well that was me", admited Mimic from the front, "Loraine Humber couldn't make it to their date, so i took over her, it was kinda easy to capture the large one from there....ouch".

"Sorry, did that hurt?", asked Sabertooth inocently, squeasing Mimic's shoulder, "which way kid?".

"Go to the old fitness centre", blurted out Mimic, "the one thats condemed".

"A fitness center?", said Kurt shaking his head, "oh yes, thats ze perfect place for a lab".

"It's underneath the fitness center, idiot", said Imitate, crossing his arms.

This caused the teenagers in the back of the van to start arguing.

"Okay children, settle down", said Storm, trying to keep her eyes on the road.

She was ingored. The children were still shouting and throwning insults at each other.

"Hey runts!", shouted Sabertooth, "shut up or i'll come back there and slice ya into so many pieces, they'll need ta make a new number ta count ya all!".

The van fell silent.

"Thats better", said Sabertooth with a grin then smiled at Storm, "there ya go".

"Thank you....i think", said Storm, with a chuckle, driving towards the old fitness centre.



It didn't take them long to reach the old abandoned fitness centre. Sabertooth kept a good hold of Mimic as everyone got out of the van. Imitate and Dolpeganger walked up to a wall and placed their right hands on it.

"We need Mimic for this", said Imitate quietly, not wanting to upset the mutants anymore, "it's a genetic lock".

Sabertooth frowned and pushed Mimic towards the wall, not realeasing his hold on the boys shoulders.

"Well do ya stuff kid", he said narrowing his eyes, "an' no funny buisness".

Mimic nodded and put his hand on the wall, inbetween the hands of Imitate and Dolpeganger. The part of the wall they pressed glew a strange orange colour and a beeping sound was heard. The wall they touched opened up, the floor behind it disapearing as if it were a hologram, revealing stairs that led down underneath the building.

"Impressive", said Pietro with a raised eyebrow.

Sabertooth pointed at Imiatate and then pointed at the stairway.

"You lead the way kid", he said with a growl, "i'll keep an eye on yer sibling's so unless ya want 'em ta be hurt, i suggest a behave".

Imitate nodded solemnly and started to walk down the stairs, everyone else following close behind. After a while, they came across a corridor which in turn lead to a big metal room, dividing off into several other corridors. A woman with blonde hair and green eyes was siting at a desk in the room, typing up something on a computer. She was wearing a lab coat and had on a pair of glasses, she looked up when she heard Imitate come in.

"What are you doing here?. You don't need to report back for....oh dear", she trailed off when Sabertooth and the others came in, "ah they found out".

"I'm sorry Mother", said Imitate closing his eyes, and pointing at Sabertooth, "this one has enhanced senses, he could smell we were not whom we said we were".

"Listen,", said Sabertooth with a snarl, "i don't know what ya doin' down here, an' i dont' really care, but i want my niece back".

"Your niece?", said the woman, blinking, "oh yes the young feline mutant. Well i can see the family resemblance".

"What have you done with Logan?", said Scott, raising his hand to his visor.

"Oh yes, the man with the adimantium skeleton", she said with a smile, "i guess you are looking for the boy with invulnerable skin as well?".

"Yeah", said Lance narrowing his eyes, "where are they?. I'd watch it lady, if your not carefull, this place is gonna rock".

"Oh god, not another rock pun", groaned Pietro, putting his head in his hands, "i mean, the first few times they were funny, but now.....".

"You can have your friends back", said the woman indifferently with a wave of her hand.

"What?", said Rogue blinking, "no fightin'?, no guns?. Ya'll just gonna lets us take 'em back lady?".

"The name is Morgan, and i've finnished with them now", said Morgan indifferentely.

"What did you exactly DO with them?", asked Storm suspiscously, this was way too easy.

"I'm glad you asked", said Morgan with a grin, "i was using their DNA to make another son.Why with Wolverine's inhanced senses and healing factor, Blob's invulnerabiltity and Octavia's feline refexes and shaps shifing abilities, i made a perfect mutant. I even added a few extras. He's very powerfull, i call him Pickles".

While Morgan was talking, Scott leaned over to where Kitty, Todd and Kurt were standing.

"You guys go see if you can find where they hid everyone", he said, "but do it quietly, huh?".

"Got it", said Kurt. Kitty and Todd mearly nodded and started to sneak out of the room.

"You made a son?", asked Sabertooth, blinking, this was certainly getting very strange. This woman definitely had a few screws loose, "and you called the kid Pickles?".

"Well, yes, i get lonely in my lab", said Morgan, "he helps me, he gives me company while the tirplets are out, he even fights off intruders, which, of course, YOU are".

"Oh oh, and here comes the nasty part", said Pietro nodding over to Morgan, who was grinning evily, "we found a real life mad-scientist and now were going to be killed by her genetically altered son".

"Oh Pickles", shouted Morgan, "come to mummy precious".

"Come on Pietro", said Evan with a nervous chuckle, "how bad can a guy called 'Pickles' be?".

Somewhere in the lab, a growl was heard.

"Ya had to ask didn't you Daniels?", said Pietro as the growling got closer.



Sooooooo what do you think? I think the word your searching for is.....strange....

Until next time then..
