Sorry this chap has been so long in the wait, but I have been having too
many ideas for other stories (owiee, brain hurt) okay, sorry I had to
interrupt with special orders, but it will be needed later. Here we go!
Masquerade II: Betrayals of Love
Kitty walked hand in hand with Lance into the parking lot, he had pushed the homemade visor up to the top of his head. She was worried about him, he seemed so serious tonight. "Is something, like, wrong Lance?"
"Everything Kitty," Lance said with a sad voice. "Kitty I love you, but I am on the opposite side of this war than you. I am afraid someday it will force me to either hurt you, or hurt my friends.
"Lance, you'd never hurt me, I know that," Kitty cooed.
"Join us," he blurted out.
"What? Join who?"
"The Brotherhood, Magneto . . . Me."
"But what about the X-Men, my friends, what about my loyalty?"
"What about us?"
both fell silent after that. They had reached Lance's jeep. He reached inside as he said, "Kitty I just know that I never want you to get hurt, so I got you this." He held up an adorable teddy bear in one hand, and the other hand hidden behind the animal. She was about take the bear into her hands and ask how it would protect her when Lance pulled the tranqualizer gun from behind it. He pressed it to her neck and injected the liquid. She looked up at him with fear as she began to slip out of conciousness, "don't worry, I wont hurt you, but I cant let you be hurt in there. As she finally fell completely unconscious, Lance laid her across the backseat of his Jeep and covered her with a blanket.
He made his way back inside, with the reloaded tranq gun now set on projectile, to fire a dart, instead of inject. His cohorts sidle up to him as he nodded and answered their question, "yeah, I'm ready."
"So, the pretty Kitty comes with us to night? You are planning on sharing your toys right. I mean that is a tasty looking body she has . . ." he was cut off as Matt struck him on the head with the cane.
"If you ever touch her Pietro . . ." Lance threatened. But he too was cut off as Matt said, "It's time."
Matt took the tranq gun from Lance and fired it at Jean, and she went down like a sack of beans. People scattered, trying to understand what was happening. The X-men had only to look over and see all the Brotherhood standing as a unit and their latest mentor holding the "smoking" gun. In a second all hell broke loose. Pietro began running around the room creating mini-twisters, Lance turned part of the basketball court into a roiling sea of earth and wood, and the Scarlet Witch was throwing hex-bolts in all directions.
Wanda made her biggest mistake when she happened to hit Jubilee, who had worn a genuine antique kimono that her mother had left her. She had worn traditional make-up to compliment the kimono, but now no make-up could hide Jubes' rage. "This belonged to my Great-great-grandmother!" she screamed looking at the scorched shoulder. Jubilee began throwing her own pyrotechnics. It was becoming an all out duel of bolts.
Meanwhile Scott had take to trying with all his might to fire a blast through to knock out Lance, but every time it was blocked by a new outcropping of earth. Peter, who had had a lot of experience fighting groups of bad guys began snapping out orders, "Jamie, go to a bout twenty and do some crowd control get the civilians out of here! Bobby, Ditch the Styrofoam and ice up the floor, remember without friction Quicksilver is a sitting duck!" he didn't dare give orders to rogue who seemed to be doing fine on her own. She was treating the Blob like a bull and acting like a matador. Every time Freddy charged her, she dodged easily.
He then decided that it was time to contribute. From his vantage point on the ceiling he spotted Daredevil holding the tranq gun. He shot a line of webbing and yanked the gun from his hand saying, "Hey Spanky, that was my girlfriend you shot! And that kinda pisses me off!"
The fight was well matched. Spidey leapt at Daredevil and through his standard array of punches and kicks. The match could have been a dead heat, as Matt's martial arts knowledge made up for his utter lack of enhanced strength, and Peter's Spider-Sense compensated for Daredevil's super sharp senses. It was When Matt "saw" Wanda get struck down that the tide turned. Matt landed a lucky kick to the side and knocked Spidey off his trajectory.
He landed beside Kurt and Amanda who were calmly sitting atop Toad. Peter raised a brow to ask how he did it, but Kurt gestured with both hands and his tail to Amanda, who had beside her a broken tombstone, the other half of the tombstone lay beside Toad's unconscious head. "Nobody messes with my blue man," she said simply.
Matt knelt beside Wanda, who was just starting to shake off the effects of the blast. It was then that Pietro spotted them and yelled for Matt to hear, "The Man without fear has no love!" and upon hearing these words, Daredevil's eyes and face lost their emotion. He reached down and grasped one of his sticks and brought it up to be near Wanda's head who was just beginning to worry about her love's actions. By depressing a barely noticeably button, a foot long blade came out the end and he braised it as to strike Wanda.
"Matt? Matt, what are you doing?" Wanda asked as she began to scoot away. Matt's face showed no emotion as he began to move toward the receeding witch. "Matt, I love you, don't do this. I thought you loved me." For the first time Daredevil flickered. Only for a second at first, and then he was back to his advance. Then he began to fight it more. He dropped the stick and clutched his head in agony. His scream was that of pure anguish.
Spider-Man, who had seen all of this with puzzlement, suddenly received a flash. 'Spider-sense, tingling!' he looked around and didn't see anything that he didn't already know about. It was strange, it wasn't the "immediate danger" tingle, it was the "active threat" tingle. He got that in fights or when someone dangerous, but not about to hurt him, was around. 'Gotta trust the Spider-sense,' Peter thought, 'It hasent been wrong yet . . . well venom doesn't count.' Peter closed his eyes, allowed his Spider-sense to aim his arm, and shot a spray of web. When he opened his eyes, there was a short, very ugly man on the ground, covered in a loose net of webbing. "Yes, Ten points for hitting the little troll," Peter exalted.
Matt released his head and looked at Wanda, who was looking very worried about him. he smiled at her, and collapsed. She caught him and went to her knees with his head in her lap. She just held onto him, while allowing her probability field to form a protective bubble around the two.
To take stock; Blob was continually ramming himself into the walls, Toad was out cold, Quicksilver was frozen in a block of ice, Matt and Wanda were out of the fight, and Lance was the only active threat. Peter thought it wouldn't be much longer. The wall to his right being knocked open by a metal fist quickly corrected him.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh cliffie! Next chap we get to some hilarity. Wise cracks from the wall crawler, and electrocuted Sabertooth, and Rogue goes WWE on Colossus. BTW if anybody knows some good, specific wrestling moves, ie: the peoples elbow, Diamond Cutter, etc., please tell me, I don't actually watch wrestling.
