That night I struggled, growled, snarled, and very once in a while muttered
dark threats under my breath, but those ass holes kept my tied to that
fucking chair while Hank took samples of my blood and did all these tests.
He was going full throttle, but I could see him tiring, all I had to do was
wait, and then I could get free.
Finally, despite great efforts to remain conscious, Hank fell asleep in his chair, snoring softly. I grinned at no-one and set to work with my claws, and finally one broke through the ropes. They fell about me and I quietly got up and stretched, then walked carefully over to Hank.
I could kill him right now, it would be so easy just to slit his throat and be done with it. I smelt his blood from my bite earlier, and I also smelled the foul stench of the antiseptic, the acid he had used on my earlier.
I had just made up my mind and raised my claws above the sleeping mutant when Ororo walked in, looking for Hank. When she saw my hand raised and eyes glowing she screamed, waking Hank up instantly and knocking my over. I had nothing left but to run for it. A predator like me, running! Horrible, but necessary.
Hank made to grab for me but I ducked, then knocked Ororo over as I raced down the halls.
Behind me the two were chasing me, I could hear them, but I was too quick. I slipped up to the ground floor and ran down the one hall before the front door. Unfortunately Scott was in the way.
I snarled and he saw my orange eyes, hesitating for a mere second. But that was enough for me. I punched him hard, scratching one cheek and sending him backwards. I leapt over him and raced out the front door, leaving it swinging open. I could still hear Hank chasing me, but he was still half asleep, and the other X Men had fallen far behind.
The woods that's where I needed to go. I might even get a chance to get Hank there. I still wasn't sure I could take him on one-on-one, but I was really pissed that he had kept me in that chair all night.
When I got to the woods, however, Kurt appeared right behind me, stopping Hank from following and making me really mad. It seemed every time I got close to getting on of these idiots they got away. But I could be patient. I turned around and ran through the woods, going deeper and deeper.
Suddenly, as I was leaping from tree to tree, a huge burst of flame knocked me off a branch. I struggled to get up, but a steel collar had fastened itself to my neck before I could do anything. I tried to get it off, but forgot it when I heard laughter behind me. I spun around and saw Magneto standing next to Pyro, still chuckling. I snarled and ran at them, but Magneto raised his hand and my collar stopped, nearly choking me and forsing me to stop with it.
"Well well," Magneto said. "Looks like my little plan worked. Now we have much to do, I know your rational mind will be coming in soon, but if my serum worked it shouldn't make any difference."
"Where are we gonna start?" Pyro asked. I snarled and tried to claw the collar off me, but it started to rise into the air, dragging me with it. I gasped and grabbed the damn thing, trying to breath while Magneto watched in amusement.
"I'm thinking somewhere our new friend is familiar with," he said. "Maybe her hometown? I understand that's where she got that awful bump on the back of her head." Pyro laughed and watched me rise ta about five feet off the ground, kicking and still trying to breath. Then Magneto dropped his hand, and I fell in a heap onto the forest floor. I felt myself being thrown in a small cage, but suddenly I felt so tired I couldn't even struggle. I was aware that we were moving, but everything seemed to be growing dim, impossible to see anything around me.
I woke with a start, the collar had just tightened. Magneto was sitting next to me on a rock, and we were in the middle of a woods. Annoyingly I was still in the cage.
Sniffing the air I was able to determine that oddly enough we were in the same woods in California as I had been attacked by the kids in, in the same clearing also. The lingering scent of humans and mutants was still there and the ground was full of shoe prints.
Magneto looked around, then saw I was awake. "Hello, there." He said cheerfully. "Remember this place? I thought it would be a good testing ground. Oh, and I hope you like your new cloths." I looked down, seeing I was in nothing but a small black pair of shorts and a black belly shirt. I growled at him, but the collar tightened painfully until I stopped.
"You need to learn some manners." He said starring at me. I didn't do anything, wondering how I was going to get out of this mess. Strangely I still felt the need to kill Magneto, but there was a purpose behind it. I actually thought about why I wanted to kill him. I supposed this meant my conscious mind, Jen, was coming back, though the green predator was still there.
I wondered what Magneto wanted with me, and suddenly he opened the door to the cage and beconed me out. I raced through the small door, then turned and lunged at him. Once again he stopped the collar, which choked me and really pissed me off at the same time.
"You are allowed to attack anyone, I mean anyone, but me, Mystique, and Pyro. If you do, I'll kill you," he said, glaring at me.
"What do you want?" I asked, breathing hard. Magneto laughed.
"I want you to follow your instincts." He said. "To let the Predator in you out. You see, I found a special mixture of chemicals can keep you permanently in one basic mood. You may feel slight waves of other emotions, but that's about it. For you, well, your going to be angry for a long time. Now get going, and try and vent some of that attitude." I glared at him, my eyes were starting to feel like they were on fire, and it hurt. Not to mention my head, and the bandages on my arm had been taken off.
Was I angry? Oh yeah. I couldn't take it out on Magneto, or Pyro unfortunately. But we were close to my old home, to my parents. I could blame them for getting me in this mess, kicking me out the door when I was only sixteen. I could also blame them for my headache, and the bruises that were still all over my body. I could blame them for giving birth to me if I wanted. Jen figured that out, the Predator added the anger.
"Humans want nothing more than to beat every mutant like they did to you here," Magneto said quietly, leaning in towards me. "Only they want to finish the job, to kill every mutant like they wanted to here. Even the parents of mutants want them dead, and that's never going to change. We are the future, not them." I growled and he kicked me forward, but I was already running.
I have done allot of running in the past six months. Running from police, farmers, my parents and friends. From regular people on the street who for whatever reason carry guns in their handbags. I have always been running, and I was now. But this was different. I was running towards my enemies, not away from them. And this simple, deadly move made me feel stronger, made me run faster then I ever had before.
I once heard that the fastest time you'll ever run in your life is away from death. I was running far faster then I had in the ferry terminal, or on the streets, or away from those damn kids a couple days ago. And I was running towards death, their death.
In a matter of minuets I was on the street corner, now running on all fours like an animal. I was an animal, I was the hunter, the Predator.
When I reached the front porch I ignored the door, lunging through a kitchen window that shattered as I flew through. I landed easily, and heard a scream from behind me. I spun around and saw my mother, pale and terrified, leaning on a kitchen counter. I bared my fangs and moved towards her, but a shout come from behind me.
This time the baseball bat, the same one that had hit me the other day, only found empty space. I knocked it out of my fathers trembling hands and grinned, watching him turn white.
"Hi, dad."
A minuet later I was done, leaving the house through the window. I crept through the woods behind the houses, spotting Teddy and his gang riding tier bikes past. I smiled, no little kid was going to beat me up without paying for it.
I was lost in a violent frenzy, seeking my revenge against anyone who stood in my way. The kids paid for their violence like my parents did, and several others did to.
It was twilight, and I had just scared away a woman carrying a baby when I heard an amused voice behind me.
"Wow, you sure were busy today." I sat on my haunches and glared at Pyro, who walked out of the shadows. Blood covered my whole front, staining my fur, but I didn't care.
"Yeah?" I asked gruffly. "What do you want?"
"Magneto says you can have ten more minuets max if you need to do anything else, but you gotta get back to the clearing he let you loose."
"And if I don't go back?" I said aggressively. The collar shrunk until I could barely breath, and Magneto appeared next to Pyro as I chocked for breath.
"Then you will die. I let you have your revenge, to practice where I knew you wanted to most, but I still need you. You aren't an experiment, now you're one of us." He said. I glared at him for a moment, then slowly nodded. Fine then, if that's what he wanted, great.
"So what do you call yourselves, the M Men?" I asked. Magneto laughed.
"No, we are the Brotherhood of Mutants, welcome, Predator." Predator. Not bad. Maybe I would fit in here.
