Blood Kin chapter two: Questions Answered
The Four Minds
They had made it back safely to Quinn's Boston Estate just outside of the city. All had settled in to the big comfy chairs on the second level living room. James had brought in their favorite drinks, which by now he knew as well as Quinn's. Looking around, each member of The Pack formed various questions to which they wanted answered.
Shadow, feeling uncomfortable, broke the silence, "Okay...everyone needs to stop staring at me."
"We just want to know who...what...why?" Saber questioned, trying to form the thoughts in her mind as well as the others.
"Why was this Sinister guy after you?" Dodger, who had been treated by both James and Saber, asked. "And why take me unconscious first?"
"He used you to lure me." Shadow sighed.
"But why?" Quinn added. "How long have you known this..."
"Mr. Sinister." Shadow filled in. "Oh, the first fifteen years of my life." The looks on the others faces surprised her. "Sinister raised me since I was born. If I was born. Don't remember if I had a mother or not. I know there was some kind of woman figure there. I think she taught me how to pick locks. Well, anyway..."
"What do you mean you don't know if you were born or not?" Morgana eyed.
"I think I might have been made in a test tube."
"What kind of freak would have someone made in a test tube?" Dodger bellowed, angry at the thought of someone trying to control life.
"You obviously don't know much about Sinister. He's one of the worst guys I've meet." Shadow yelled. "He once cloned Jean Grey-Summers just so he could have a Summers kid." They stared at her blankly. "Have you never heard of the X-Men?" They shook their heads no. "Professor X, Scott Summers, Wolverine? Cyclops, Storm? Was I the only one who studied their files?" she looked at them. "Never mind." "What does he want with you?" Saber questioned.
"When you live with Sinister for fifteen years, you learn a lot about him like where he lives, what the area looks like. All the things his enemies would like to know."
"Well," Quinn stated, standing, "we're all safe now. That's the important part. Let's just put this beside us, and have at least a semi-restful evening. Any one for drinks?"
With that Quinn, Morgana, and Shadow padded into the kitchen on the first floor, the rest filling out through out the rest of the house.
In the kitchen, Shadow got out three glasses, filling her own with milk. She left if sitting out and the door open.
"Shadow," Nature hollered.
"What?" she lightly questioned.
"The door." Morgana replied almost sharply.
"Don't feel like it. I'm going for a walk." and she stepped through the door frame.
"Ugh." Morgana moaned. "That...that...kid!" she slammed the door. As she did, she collapsed, nearly missing the floor by inches thanks to Quinn who caught her. "Morgana!"
He scooped her up into his arms, and carried her into the living room; nearly running into Dodger, who was carrying Shadow. "What happened to her!?" Quinn screamed, laying Morgana on the love seat.
"She passed out on the floor. What happened to her?" Dodger laid Shadow down on the couch.
"What do we do now?" Quinn asked, kneeling next to Morgana.
"What happened?" Saber and Hunter ran in. "We heard a loud thump."
"They passed out." Dodger informed placing a wet rag that James had brought on Shadow's forehead. He handed Quinn one as well.
"What caused it to happen?" Hunter asked.
"I don't know. Maybe the gas caused it. But we've got to do something for them." Quinn said, brushing a few strands of hair out of the rag's way.
"I don't think a human doctor's gonna understand." Saber stated. "Wait..." she said pausing briefly to retrieve a phonebook. Quickly she looked up a name, dialed the number, and disappointingly hung up. "Well, I got the answering machine, but it gave me another number to try." She dialed the second number. "It's ringing...Hello, Henry McCoy?"
"No. May I ask who is calling?" the lite female voice on the other end asked.
"Illya Polav." The others looked at her. "An old friend. He's a doctor." She returned her attention to the phone. "Henry!...Yes, it's been a long time...no, I'm fine...Henry, I need your help...where can I met you?" She quickly jotted down the address.
They ran out to the side garage. Hunter and Saber mounted their bikes. Dodger placed Shadow into the passenger seat, and climbed into the driver's seat of the Porsche. Quinn, after fastening Morgana in, sped off in his red Corvette. "Where to?" he asked over their ear comms.
"1407 Graymalkin Lane, Salem Center, Westchester County, New York State." Saber supplied. They made their there hastily.
After finally reaching their destinations, Saber quickly ran to what appeared to be the front door of a very large mansion.
"That's a big place." Hunter exclaimed.
Dodger and Quinn, carrying Shadow and Morgana, followed them up the stairs. The door slowly opened, revealing a large, blue mutant. "Is Henry McCoy here?" Saber asked.
"Oh, it has been a while. Illya, come in, and I'll explain." Then he noticed the other two women. "I'll look at those two first. Follow me." He lead them to the infirmary, where Quinn and Dodger were instructed to lay the girls on two of the metal beds. "What happened to them?" Hank asked running several tests.
"We're not sure." Saber answered. "When did this happen?" she noted the blue fur. The door quickly opened and shut, a woman with white hair placing a tray of refreshments down.
"Thank you, Storm. Will you tell Professor X to come down here, please?"
"Storm, Professor X?" the roup looked at each other.
"Shall I explain?" Hank questioned.
When he had finished explaining, while still treating the girls, Illya informed him of what had been happening in her life so far. "So that's how we started this group."
"That's very...fascinating. And what are you called again?"
"The Pack." Quinn answered, standing by Morgana.
"Ah, I would like for all of you to meet a dear friend of mine. This is Professor Charles Xavier. This is his mansion." Hank introduced when the prof had entered the room.
"Hello. Welcome to my school for gifted youngsters. How are your friends?"
"Don't know." Dodger stated impatiently.
"Still running test, professor. We won't know for awhile." "Professor, why don't you have someone show our guest around?" Hank sent telepathically.
"Good idea, Hank." he said back, then called for one of his students. "This is Recruiter. She will show you where you can stay for the time being."
"I'm not leaving." Quinn stated nonchalantly.
"I'm sorry. I can't permit that." Hank stated.
"Henry...Hank." Saber called him over. "Let Quinn and Dodger stay. They won't get in the way."
"For you, Saber, they can stay." he smiled gently.
"Thank you." she mirrored the effect. "Quinn, Dodger, you guys stay here. Hunter and I are going to go get our rooms set up."
"And put the vehicles up." Hunter added. They followed Recruiter out, Charles following.
