Marvel owns the X-Men and related characters not me. Feel free to post. Takes place in an alternate third season that diverges sometime after "The Toad, the Witch and the Wardrobe." And, Spyke's powers are not going out of control.
Sinister looked with obvious pleasure at Ms. Dexter as she walked out of the room where Juggernaut's cage was. "Was the mating successful?"
"Perfectly. In nine months you will have the hybrid you wish for. Unless you can speed up pregnancy as well?"
"I can, but not for you. Your body chemistry is - unique. I have no one else to test my methods on. I could make another clone, but I don't want too many clones of me running about at once. At least not yet. Too much chance one will do something mad like turn on me. I much prefer caution, when I can reduce the risks without causing too much delay."
A computer beeped.
"Ah, good. Talia's first enhancement is complete. She hasn't been improved at all yet, but she will now mature more quickly and have temporarily augmented intelligence allowing her to coordinate her mental and physical ages."
"That's not an improvement?" asked Ms. Dexter.
"It is, but it won't effect her eventual powers or make her smarter in the long run. It will just speed up the first, oh, twenty years of her life. After that, she will be no different than if she had not received the treatment, except... she will be about nineteen years ahead of her chronological age."
Suddenly an alarm went off.
"Quick! Ms. Dexter! To the Essex-flyer! Evacuate. I'll handle any problems. You're much too valuable in your condition to be put at risk!"
Ms. Dexter smiled. She knew that she was just a commodity to Mr. Sinister, but she didn't mind as long as she was a valuable one. She immediately left to run to the Essex-flyer.
Mr. Sinister got up and stared at the metal door to the hallway in front of him. It bent and flew off of its hinges. Magneto, Rogue, and Cyclops burst in.
Scott didn't bother saying or threatening anything. He just pressed his visor and shot a beam of concentrated optic blast at the red diamond in Sinister's chest. Sinister was blown backwards several feet, and the diamond was replaced by green goo. Sinister immediately shot Cyclops and knocked him across the floor into the hallway. Rogue fell back while Magneto kept moving metal objects toward Sinister to distract him and to shield Rogue.
Magneto managed to dodge quite a few blasts before Mr. Sinister hit him and he reeled and fell to the floor.
Then it happened. Sinister got hit with another optic blast. He turned to see a quite chubby, metal girl [A/N Rogue using Blob and Colossus' powers] standing in the doorway with glowing red eyes. She let loose another blast, and another, right at his body. He blasted her as well, but the blasts bounced off of her without much effect. Finally, he used his telepathic abilities to let a psychic blast loose. This slowed Rogue down but did not stop her. He let loose a telepathic and a telekinetic attack, forcing her against the hallway wall and trying to shut down her consciousness from within. He kept firing his yellow energy bolts at her. She just kept blasting him until his entire right side was green sludge. Finally, with the last of his strength, Mr. Sinister knocked her unconscious.
He then rushed into the room where Talia had been enhanced. She should still be in the enhancer, which would be simply acting as an incubator now that the treatment was over. He came in just in time to see Kurt open up the device, grab her, and 'port away. Then he ported into the adamantium cage, grabbed Juggernaut, and 'ported away again.
Sinister concentrated on healing his devastated body. He had left a trail of sludge all the way across the floor. Normally wounds would heal fast because most lasers did not actually destroy his flesh, they just pushed it away; if a shot from a normal laser cannon had blasted a hole in his side, the material that had been where the hole was would simply have been compressed into the rest of his body, making the material around the wound denser, or else the area around the hole would be upraised with the displaced material. But these wounds actually destroyed parts of his flesh. To heal would require a lot of nutrients. He hollowed out his midsection in order to get the material to replace the outer layers of the parts of his body that had been destroyed. Nonetheless, the optic blasts had left his entire body weakened, and the strength he had used attacking Rogue had weakened him further.
So he was unprepared when Kurt 'ported in, ready for a fight. He had 'ported the others back to the X-Jet, which had "left" and then come back in stealth mode (Jean gave him the coordinates to make it). Now it was just him and Sinister.
"You kidnapped mein tochter, Essex, and you will pay!" Kurt kicked at Mr. Sinister, and sent him flying into the wall. In his optic blast-weakened state he was vulnerable to normal attacks. Then Kurt jumped over and grabbed him and began teleporting around the room. This made Sinister feel pain, great, blinding pain. But Kurt was wearing out as well. So he made one last 'port with Sinister, two miles straight up, and then 'ported alone to the X-Jet.
Sinister hit the roof of his base like a bag of wet cement, crashing through it into the floor below.
He had read Kurt's mind a little during his ordeal, and discovered something that terrified him.
Bombs. Magneto had planted bombs.
He pressed a button on a device on his waist, which had survived the crash due to Sinister's great care in making it durable. "Nasty Boys? Come here and make sure you bring Slayer!"
As soon as they had gathered, Sinister pressed another button. He, the Nasty Boys, and Slayer, were all teleported to the Essex-flyer two. It took off immediately, and was a mile away when the explosion was heard.
"Damn! My base was destroyed! And all of my back-up clones of Talia! This puts a crimp in my plans, but it's just a delay, ultimately." Becoming unemotional again, he said, "I will win in the end. It is inevitable. But if my paradise is to be achieved, I'll need some help." He also resolved to make another suit of ruby quartz armor and this time to wear it all the time so that he would be protected.
Sinister stared at Ruckus. "Ruckus. Get on the communicator. Find me Mesmero."
