Todd: Uh.... seems like a bad time to give him any trouble.... lets go get some ice cream..

Fred: Fine with me.....

When we last left off (since I think everyone's lost interest in this story anyways I'll recap) Todd had managed to get into the boarding house with no problem, except maybe for the fact Mystique was waiting for him. While in an attempt to seduce and infect him by Mystique, Todd remembers when he got pulled into the Brotherhood (for that little bit of info, ya gotta read the past chapter) In the end, he is rescued by Kitty, but not before Kurt, the traitor, releases Mystique on them, leaving Rogue to do combat with her mother, while Todd and Kitty race to the back door, to save Sam, Fred, and Jamie......

"Sir, an unidentified object has just entered our air space," reported a technician. Magneto turned away from one of the many computers. "Helicopters or fighter jets?" The tech checked the readings. "Neither, I have no clue what this thing is." Magneto cursed under his breath. "The X-Jet, I thought Omega Red was supposed to stop any one who would attempt to reach it?" he yelled. Zachary Spencer, the lead scientist entered suddenly through the main lab door. "He failed. His life signs flat lined several minutes ago. Looks like who ever survived will be joining us soon. Luckily, I bring not just bad news, but great news. Berserker and Wolfsbane made it back with Juggernaut and Sabertooth. We have the two teens in our lab, and we've almost gotten a more stable strain of the virus to take over. As for the Jean girl, well, why not see for yourself?" said the sick man, as he waved his hand to the door. The metal doors slid open with a electronic buzz, and there stood Jean. Her skin was dark grey, though it seemed more like scales now. Her hair was how ever just as it was, neat and clean. She stood there in a long white dress. He hands were somewhat different, her fingers having become longer, with claws much like Sabertooth's. When we she looked up, instead of the dead, glazed over eyes of most of the virus infected people, they were clear and beautiful, though her eyes color was now red.

Magneto stood there stunned. "She's, stable?" he asked finally. Dr. Spencer grinned and nodded. "Thanks to her highly developed brain power, it was just a matter of gradual infection for her to gain full control of her new abilities. Of course, a memory wipe was needed, making her completely loyal." Magneto grinned. "Well done doctor. I believe our guests will have more to deal with than they bargained for. Now, what of the Daniels boy?" Dr. Spencer shrugged. "Doubtful we'll have as much luck in such a short time, but if you need results fast, I'm sure we can make him a rather fine Tyrant." Magneto nodded. "So be it. If Wolverine still lives, along with those humans, then we'll need the best we have. Of course, level 2 mutated Tyrants should prove well enough." laughed the evil mega mutant, as he went about observing the progress of everything.

"Forget it kid, the woods are too thick for us to land anytime soon," muttered Barry. Bobby turned to him. "Then what? We came this far, we can't just go back. Barry nodded. "Your right, but for us two, that's exactly what we're going to do. The others can reach the target zone by parachute," he explained. Chris and Jill were already fitted with a chute, Leon and Claire helping each other. Chris busied himself by making sure he had plenty of ammo, while Jill was busy loading up Leon with the various heavy weapons they had brought. Once Wolverine was fitted up, he too helped shoulder the load of weapons, while Claire took as much first aid items she could, with Jill taking the more hand held weapons and ammo. "Ok Barry, we're ready," said Chris, heading for the door of the jet. "Uh you guys go ahead, me and Pietro will go for the ride with Bobby and Barry," muttered Lance. Logan walked up to the boy grabbed him by the front of the shirt, and opened the door to the jet. "You may want to put on a parachute bub, because you're going down there, one way or another," growled Wolverine. Lance gulped and quickly moved over to Pietro, and they both helped each other into parachutes. "Ok, Jill, you go first, then Lance and Pietro will follow you, with the rest of us following," said Chris. Jill nodded, and quickly jumped out of the door's opening. "Uh.... after you Lance," said Pietro. "No no no no no, I insist, you first," muttered Lance. Wolverine sighed, and stepped forward, pushing both boys out at the same time. "There, that solved that problem," he muttered, jumping next, with Leon, Claire, and finally Chris following him. Barry watched as the figures fell through the air, and as the chutes were released, letting them all float safely to the ground. "Well, that's it for us for now," muttered Barry. Bobby nodded. "How fast can this jet go?" asked the older man. Bobby shrugged. "I think Wolverine said Mach 2. Why?" Barry strapped in. "Hit it kid. I got friends who can help us out at the edge of town." Bobby nodded, strapping in, and pushing the jet to go as fast as it could go, making the X-Jet out of sight in a matter of seconds......

"So, Rogue finally comes home," muttered Mystique, who was in a fighting stance, eyeing the young girl. Rogue quickly pulled off her gloves, before getting into her own stance. "This was never my home, even if my own mother hid here," hissed the young teen. Kurt just stood in the back, a blank look over his face. "What did you do to him anyways," spat Rogue. Mystique laughed. "Oh, you mean Kurt? You should know, you saw the flash back. You saw me yelling at someone, asking them what have they done to him? Well, I'm sure you guessed it was Magneto. What you didn't guess was, that this little virus had it's start with Kurt. It kills me to think what might of happened had the more deadly version had been around then. Luckily, Kurt was only infected with a minor form of it, the only side affect was in fact his more, feral look. Not to mention, full loyalty to Magneto and I. Of course, it took awhile to take affect. Though, each time he used his teleportation ability, it helped speed up the process. I believe at some point today, the last teleportation he used finally kicked in the full dose of the virus. Lucky for me," grinned Mystique, as her long explanation was finished. "You bitch!" screamed Rogue, as she launched herself at Mystique with a flying kick. Mystique dodged to the left, bringing a hard elbow down on Rogue's mid section as she moved by. This brought the smaller woman down on the ground hard, but she quickly rolled away, moving back to her feet. Mystique hissed, and rushed forward, throwing several punches at her own daughter. Rogue dodged the first few, then caught Mystique's fist in both hands. Mystique glared at Rogue with pure hate, but quickly noticed her fatal mistake. Rogue grinned, as she felt herself draining the power straight out of her attacker. "Kurt.... kill her...." gasped Mystique, just as she collapsed. Before Rogue could finish of the sick woman, a sharp kick to her back sent Rogue sprawling forward. Before she could recover, Kurt had her by the hair, forcing her to her feet, and slamming her into wall, hard. Rogue turned, only too not her old friend, but a shell of man, his dead unfeeling eyes staring at her, as he punched her hard in the chest, knocking the air out of her. "Kurt.... please... don't..." she begged, tears coming to her eyes, unwilling to hit her friend, it wasn't his fault.... "You, fuzzy elf man! Try this own for size yo!" yelled a voice. Kurt turned, only to have a large blob of slime slap him in the face. As he fell back, struggling with the rapidly hardening slime, Toad jumped down the hallway. "Toad don't!" yelled Rogue. Todd was a little to fast to act, as he did a spinning mid-air kick, the heel of his foot slamming into the side of Kurt's head, slamming him into the wall, knocking him out, and shattering the slime mold. Todd stood over his beaten foe. Rogue was struggling to stay her own form, as she morphed between Todd, Mystique, and Kurt. "Don't worry. Unlike the current examples, the Brotherhood don't kill with out need," he muttered. Fred, Sam, Jamie, and Kitty stood at the other end of the hall, then moved over to help Rogue up. "Uh, her ya go Rogue," muttered Fred, handing her the gloves she had discarded. Rogue smiled a little, finally getting her form back to normal, as she slipped on the gloves. "Mystique is gonna be out for awhile," she explained. "Yeah, well, hopefully it won't take long to finish this," muttered Todd. "You and me both," came a voice behind them. Everyone turned to find Wesker, along with Sabertooth and Juggernaut behind him. "None of you are leaving this hallway alive," sneered the dark man. All the teens got into their own fighting stance. "We'll see won't we yo?" glared Todd, and he hopped forward, ready to settle up with Wesker......
