The Birth of Trinity

In another section of the base, Althea was fighting Sabertooth as best as she could. The triplets stayed behind, frightened. She gave him a swift kick to the jaw. "Get away you overgrown alley cat!" She shouted.

"Not bad girlie," Sabertooth laughed. "You even hit me! But not good enough!"

He whacked her with the back of his hand, knocking her hard against the wall. "You got a lot of spunk, I'll give you that!" He laughed. "I'll enjoy breaking you in!"

"Althea!" Daria and the other triplets ran over to their sister as Sabertooth advanced on them.

"She's out cold!" Quinn cried.

"AWWWK!" Polly flew at Sabertooth's head and grabbed his hair.

"You stupid undersized chicken!" Sabertooth screamed and grabbed it, throwing it against the wall.

"Polly!" Quinn cried.

"We have to do something!" Brittany said.

"Nothing you can do girlie," Sabertooth laughed as he reached out to grab them.

"STAY AWAY FROM OUR SISTER!" They screamed.

The air seemed to crackle around them. To Sabertooth's shock the three girls levitated off the ground. They rose in the air above him. Electricity flowed from their hands. "What the….?" Sabertooth backed away as the girls glared at him.

"You hurt our sister," Daria said. "And our birdie."

"No one gets away with that," Quinn said.

"NO ONE!" Brittany screamed. Electricity shone around their bodies.

"You're a bad kitty!" The triplets said. Their eyes glowed brightly.

"Oh freaking hell," Sabertooth gulped as the girls started to glow brightly. They sent out a huge bolt of electricity at him. But it wasn't electricity. It was psychic energy, tearing at Sabertooth's mind.

"YEEEEEEAAAGGGGGHH!" Sabertooth screamed and ran in terror.

"Bad Kitty! Bad Kitty!" They intoned, following him.

Meanwhile the X-Men and Joes were fighting as well as they could. "Sheesh where did Magneto get all these mutants?" Duke shouted. "There must be half a dozen of them!"

"So we've got a few ourselves!" Alpine told him as Scott fried one mutant with feathers. He shot a cat like mutant advancing on Scott.

The sky grew darker and it began to flash thunder and lightning. It hit some of Magneto's mutants.

"Sorry we're late," Storm flew in. Logan rode in on a motorcycle with Jinx.

"Better late than never," Hawk told her. "But that's not gonna be enough! We need more help."

"HEEEEELLP!" Sabertooth ran by screaming.

"Now that's a sight I never thought I'd see," Logan blinked. "What could have made him do that?"

"That," Jinx pointed. There were the triplets, flying after him. They used their psychic blasts on Sabertooth and any of Magneto's mutants that were in their sights.

"That's enough!" Magneto intoned. "Time to leave! We have what we came for!" He used his powers to take his troops away in the huge orbs.

"Now what did he mean by that?" Logan asked.

"They timed this perfectly," Hawk spat. "After the battle with Cobra weakened our defenses they just came in here and wiped the walls with us!"

"Not completely," Tabitha said. "We did manage to chase them off."

"No we didn't," Jean said. "I got a psychic flash from Rogue and Remy. They captured them."

"I saw Toad get taken too," Evan said.

"That must have been Magneto's plan," Xavier frowned. "To capture as many mutants as possible."

"Wavedancer! Hawk shouted. "The kids!" They went to the offices that were trashed. Then they saw Roadblock and the others bound by the metal beams.

"Somebody get us out of here!" Roadblock called out. Logan cut them free.

"Daddy!" The triplets cried out, using their psychic energy to lift the barrel off of Shipwreck.

"Wha…?" He looked around. "Oh hi girls," He grumbled. "I was just taking a little nap and…" He noticed that their eyes were glowing. "Okay that's new."

The triplets powered down. "Okay how did you do that?" Roadblock asked.

"Dunno," Daria told him. "We just did it."

"So you three have psychic powers now?" Shipwreck rubbed his head. "Oh goody. You three are going to be harder to control than ever. Where's your sister?"

Althea staggered in, holding Polly. "Anybody got an aspirin?" She groaned. There was a cut on her forehead.

Immediately Shipwreck forgot everything else and ran to her. "What happened?" He asked.

"The bad kitty hurt Althea," Brittany sniffed. "We wouldn't let him take her."

"Or us," Quinn said. "Did we do good?"

"You did very well," Shipwreck kissed each triplet's forehead. "I just wish I was as strong as you were. I could have saved your brother."

"There was nothing you could have done Shipwreck," Xavier wheeled with the X-men.

"Somebody see to her head," Shipwreck told one of the medics filling in. He looked at Polly. "Are you okay bird?"

"Awk…" Polly replied in a dazed voice. "Polly wants some aspirin."

"Poor birdie," Quinn took the bird. Her hand glowed. "Rest now."

They watched in amazement as the parrot fell asleep. "What did you do?" Shipwreck asked.

"I told him to go to sleep so his headache would go away," Quinn said.

"Can you guys read thoughts like Charley here?" Shipwreck asked.

"No," Daria said. "I don't think so. But I think Quinn can imprint suggestions. I don't know if we can do that or not."

"Does this mean we can finally have a codename now?" Brittany asked.

"I got the perfect one!" Daria said. "How about Trinity?"

"I like it," Quinn said.

"Well it does fit," Althea agreed as Bree bandaged her head.

"You should have seen them take on Magneto's stooges Shipwreck," Duke told him. "They had Sabertooth running like a little schoolgirl!"

"Amazing," Hank noted. "For them to have such power. And for them to have it manifest at such a young age…"

"Yeah well we can wonder about that later," Shipwreck said. "They have my son!"

"They've got Rogue, Toad, Gambit as well," Scott told him.

"What does Magneto want with them?" Kitty asked.

"Probably he wants to finish what he started with Toad and use the others as guinea pigs as well," Roadblock growled.

"What do we do now?" Evan asked.

"Easy kid," Shipwreck's eyes grew cold. "We get them back."
