Disc- Nope, originals aren't mine, does that come as any surprise to you by this point in the story?
Lynx, Tyler, and Marie didn't get home from the party until 3:21 A.M, by the time that they got home Logan was already very pissed. "Why are you home so late?" he glared at Lynx as she looked down.
"Um…daddy, it's actually early." Marie looked at her watch then back up to Logan. "Err, sorry." She looked down as Tyler started to walk upstairs.
"Where do you think your going kid?" Tyler turned around and faced Logan.
"I'm actually not part of this family, so I really don't have to stay." Tyler gave Logan a worried smile then walked upstairs as a very tired Rogue walked out of her room.
"Tyler, why aren't you asleep?" she looked downstairs and saw Lynx and Marie, knowing that he had just barely gotten home. "Never mind, we'll talk tomorrow when I'm not so tired, and when your father is awake." Tyler gulped when he heard that last part about his father.
"Yes mother." Tyler looked down and walked to his room, glad when his mother finally went back into her room.
"Logan, what are you still doing up?" Rita walked down the hall and stopped when she saw Lynx and Marie, still perfectly dressed.
"Lynx, Marie, go to your rooms now, we'll all talk tomorrow. Logan, stop interrogating them and get some sleep." Lynx and Marie were glad to get away from Logan as they both ran upstairs to their separate rooms.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Tyler woke up about 7 A.M. and got dressed, dreading the long talk that was to come with his parents. Tyler put on a pair of jeans and opened his door when he heard a knock, looking at Lynx.
Lynx almost laughed, he had obviously just woken up because his hair was badly messed up and he didn't have a shirt on. "Hey Ty, can I come and hide out in here with you, I really don't want to end up talking to Logan." Tyler stepped out of the doorway and Lynx walked in, sitting in the chair next to his bed as he closed the door. "Thank you so much."
"Anytime, I wouldn't want to talk to Logan either." Tyler sleepily ran a hand over his face and put on a black shirt.
"I know, how do you think your talk with Remy and Rogue will go?"
"Mom and dad? I don't know, but I'm very scared, I'm sure dad wont care, but mom will ground me for life." Tyler sat on the edge of his bed, looking at Lynx.
"If only I was lucky enough to get grounded, I'd have danger room for the rest of my life, on the highest level knowing Logan." Lynx sighed and leaned back in the seat, just as Logan appeared in Tyler's doorway.
"Out now." Logan pointed to Lynx as he glared at Tyler for having a teenage girl in his room, when he knows that he shouldn't.
Lynx sighed and looked back at Tyler for support, he just gave her a light smile as Logan took her arm and walked her down the hall to his and Rita's room where Rita was waiting for the first daughter to be brought in.
"Hello Lynx, sit down please." Lynx took a set as Logan sat next to Rita, both parents sternly looking at Lynx. "What kept you at the party so long? You know that Marie's still in trouble."
"I'm sorry mom, I guess I just lost track of time." Lynx looked down and put her hands in her lap, not knowing what to say.
"Lynx, Rita and I both know that you can take care of yourself, and I know I'm not your father, but we can still worry." Logan looked at Lynx as she tried as hard as she could to hide a smile, he said just what she wanted him to say.
"YOU'RE RIGHT! YOUR NOT MY FATHER AND YOU NEVER WILL BE, I DON'T EVEN THINK THAT RITA WANT'S ME AS HER DAUGHTER, YOU TWO ONLY USE ME AS A BABYSITTER FOR MARIE" Lynx glared at the two and stormed out of the room, running downstairs and out of the door before her parents could stop her, silently being followed by Tyler.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Tyler stood behind one of the trees in the woods and watched Lynx sitting on the dock, looking down into the lake's calm water, silently crying. Tyler looked down at the ground as his foot came down hard on a bunch of leaves, letting Lynx know that someone was there. Lynx would never forgive herself if Tyler saw her crying, she quickly wiped the tears away as Tyler walked up behind her.
"Hey, I heard what you said to your mom and Logan, that was harsh." Tyler sat next to Lynx as she picked up a rock and threw it into the lake.
"They deserve it, it's true, I was only babysitting Marie last night, if I wasn't there last night then Marie wouldn't even be home right now, she'd get home in a few days knowing her." Lynx threw another rock into the lake as Tyler paused for a second, putting an arm around Lynx to comfort her.
"I know, I was there remember?" Tyler looked around and saw Logan slowly walking towards them.
"Sometimes I just think that it would be easier to go and live with my real father. From what I've heard, there are no rules there, I don't have to answer to him when I go out for a bit, and I'll have no half sister to watch over." Lynx sighed, waiting for Logan to come yell at her, but he never came.
Logan decided to let Tyler calm Lynx down before talking with her again. "Lynx, I can't let you do that, I'm your best friend and if I let you go, you'll just be throwing you life away."
"So? I'd rather do that then stay here a second longer." Lynx growled as she stood up and walked back towards the institute, catching Logan from the corner of her eye and glaring at him.
Logan sighed and walked back inside, going upstairs to his room and looking at Rita. "Maybe we should move on to Marie." Rita nodded as Logan looked out the door and called Marie up.
Marie walked into the room and sat down where Lynx had been sitting before. "Marie, what's your story on coming home so early?" Logan sat next to Rita again.
"I don't know daddy, the party just lasted for a really long time, and we all lost track of time." Marie smiled sweetly as Shawn walked in, and cringed when he saw the three, Marie had done something wrong, and this was the lecture.
"Yes Shawn?"
"Um… mom, I was wondering if I could have some money to take Carrie out for lunch." Rita nodded and handed Shawn $40 as he gave Marie a reassuring smile and left.
"That's what Lynx said too, she also mentioned something about having to watch you, were you doing something we should know about?" Logan leaned forward, looking intently at Marie.
"Of course not, why do you always assume the worst? Just because you fucked up your life dad doesn't mean I'll do the same." Marie said and walked out of the room.
"That's the second daughter that has walked out on us today, maybe Remy and Rogue will have better luck with Tyler." Rita mentioned as she walked downstairs.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Tyler walked into his parent's room and sat down, facing them. "What's your excuse Tyler?" Tyler looked up at his mom.
"Honestly, I only came home late because I was talking with Lynx, that's all I did last night, just hang out with Lynx." Tyler looked from his dad to his mom.
"That's it?" Remy looked Tyler in the eyes.
"Yeah, that's it."
"Ok, you can go Tyler." Remy and Rogue let Tyler go.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
(Later that night, in the middle of the night)
Lynx silently edged her parent's door open, they were asleep by now, she looked around and walked to her mother's nightstand and opened the drawer, taking out her book of phone numbers. Lynx opened the book and quickly wrote down a number, putting it in her pocket.
Lynx looked at her parents and walked out the room, silently closing the door behind her and grabbing her backpack from the hall, putting it on. Lynx started walking downstairs as Tyler came out of his room in a pair of sweat pants. "Where are you going?" Tyler whispered as he walked down to look at his friend.
"I don't know, somewhere that's hopefully far from here." Lynx continued to walk downstairs as Tyler grabbed her arm and turned her around to look at him.
"I told you I don't want you to go, please stay." Tyler looked at Lynx's unemotional face, knowing she wasn't going to stay anymore. "Goodbye Lynx." Tyler leaned forward and quickly kissed Lynx, walking back to his room and locking the door so he didn't have to watch his best friend.
Lynx left the institute and ran away from the grounds, looking for a pay phone somewhere. Finally, after about 10 miles, Lynx found a pay phone as she put her change in it and dialed the number that she got form her mother. "What?" the voice on the other end was pissed, mainly because of the time.
"Um, dad?" Lynx looked around, not knowing what she could say to him.
"What do you want Lynx?"
"I want to come live with you, I'm tired of living with all of mom's and Logan's rules." Sabretooth grinned when he heard that Lynx wanted to live with him.
"Fine, where are you?" Victor sounded immensely tired, but happy that they may finally be able to beat the X-Men.
"I'm at a pay phone about 10 miles away from the school." Lynx looked back and could barely see the top of the school as dawn began to show. "Please hurry before Logan finds me."
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Sabretooth smiled to himself again and walked through the long halls of Magneto's base to one of the transport orbs. He sat down and thought about going to Xavier's Institute. The orb landed just outside the school as Sabretooth got out and walked away from the school, looking for his daughter.
After 15 minutes Sabretooth found a teenage girl leaning against a pay phone with a bag of things next to her. "Lynx?" Sabretooth called out as Lynx picked up her bag and threw it over her shoulder, walking towards her father who she had never met before in her life.
"Dad?" Lynx stood next to Sabretooth and followed him back to the school and into the transport orb. Once inside the orb Sabretooth finally made eye contact with his daughter.
"Why are you running away? Don't like it here?" Victor stretched his legs out as far as he could.
"Because I hate it here, mom has rules for everything and she wont ever let me have a little fun. I went to a party with Tyler and Marie last night and we didn't get home till 3 or so and she freaked out, then Logan started getting mad at me too." Lynx looked at her father as he stretched his legs out, he was a tall man, somewhere between 6'10 and 7'4.
"Logan was yelling at you? Should have told him he wasn't your father." Sabretooth smiled, he was going to get along well with Lynx.
"I did, then I backed it up by leaving the room and sitting outside on the dock for a while, then running away to my father." Lynx said as she could feel the orb touch down and open up.
"Good girl, I think were going to get along just fine, now just stay in the room I put you in until I tell Erik about you." Lynx nodded as Sabretooth talked to her and followed him to a room, sitting on the bed as he walked away.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Back at the institute Logan had already woken up and was sitting in the kitchen drinking some black coffee as Tyler walked in and sat down in front of Logan, earning a growl. "What do you want kid?"
"Lynx is gone" Logan growled at Tyler again and stood up, going upstairs and finding her room empty. Logan walked back to his room and woke Rita up.
"What?"
"Lynx ran away last night." Rita sat bolt upright when she heard the news.
"Go ask Charles if he knows where she went." Logan nodded and walked out of the room, seeing Charles on the end of the hall.
"Yo Charley!" Charles sighed, he hated such familiarity.
"Yes Logan? How can I help you?" Charles turned to look at Logan.
"Lynx is gone, can you find her?"
"I'm sorry Logan, I can not get an actual location on her at this time, but she can't be very far away if she only left last night, though I do not doubt her instincts, she can be very far away." Logan nodded and walked down to the garage, going over to his bike as Shawn walked up the drive.
"Where have you been?" Logan sat on his bike as Shawn walked over to him.
"At Carrie's, I had to take something over to her before she left on her vacation at noon." Logan nodded as Shawn walked inside and Logan left the school, looking for Lynx.
"Have you been out all night?" Shawn walked into the kitchen and got a glass of water, sitting next to his sister.
"No, I just had to run over to Carrie's for a second and give her something before she left on her vacation. So what did you do that you were talking to both mom and dad last night?" Shawn took a drink of his water as Tyler walked in and sat with the twins.
"Oh, me, Tyler, and Lynx were at Roxy's party last and didn't get home till 3 or 4, but I think everyone had fun." Marie took a drink of the coke that was sitting in front of her.
"Yeah, I'm sure you did have fun Marie." Tyler told Marie, hoping Shawn would end up asking.
"What kind of fun Marie?" Shawn looked at her as her face became hard as stone, she wasn't talking. "Tell me, or I'll mention something to mom."
"Well, Lynx was just a little right last night." Marie smiled, Shawn had no idea of what Lynx had said.
"What did Lynx say?" Shawn looked at Tyler, knowing that Tyler would tell him.
"Lynx said that Marie would end up getting laid with the outfit she wore to the party." Shawn's response to that was a choked spit-take that sent the water he had just drank, bursting from his mouth and nose.
"What?" Shawn said, half choking still, as Tyler grabbed a towel to clean up Shawn's mess.
"Oh wow, the truth is out, big deal." Marie rolled her eyes and stood up, walking out of the room.
"Yes it is a big deal, I thought you had better sense then that." Shawn followed his sister.
"I don't have to answer to you." Marie said as she walked outside to get away from her brother.
"Your right, but you do have to answer to mom." Shawn smiled and began to walk upstairs as Marie grabbed his arm.
"Please don't." she pleaded with him, hoping he wouldn't tell.
"Ok, but if you turn out to be pregnant, don't pull me into this understand? You better not even say that I knew." Shawn said as Marie nodded and walked outside as Shawn went up to Lynx's room and knocked on her door.
"She's not here, she ran away last night." Shawn looked down at Tyler.
"You saw her go?"
"Yeah, I did."
"And you just let her go?"
"What did you want me to do? She's not happy here, she never has been, Logan isn't her father and he never will be. It's bad enough of who her real father is, she doesn't the stress of Logan yelling at her too." Tyler looked down, he really missed his friend, it finally dawned on him, he loved her.
"Is that what she really thought?" Rita stepped out from behind a wall as Tyler quickly glanced up and looked down again, nodding.
"Yeah, she told me yesterday on the dock, after she yelled at you and Logan." Rita sighed, it never even crossed her mind that Lynx didn't like it here.
"Do you know where she went?" Tyler nodded as Rita walked over to him and put a hand on his shoulder. "Where did she go?"
"I can't tell you, she's my best friend and I really don't want to ruin all her plans, I think she just needs to get away for a little bit." Rita sighed, she knew the feeling, she had run away to France before.
"Maybe your right, she just needs space." Rita looked away, hoping Logan wouldn't find her.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Magneto walked through the long halls, followed by Sabretooth, Pyro, Colossus, and Mystique. Magneto wave his hand as a door flew open, revealing the teenage girl on the other side, sitting on the bed. "Hello my dear." Magneto gave her a nice smile, though he was aging fast and getting more wrinkles.
"Hello." Lynx looked the silver-gray haired man in the eyes as Mystique pushed past him and sat next to Lynx, turning into Logan. Lynx looked at the shape shifter and instantly clawed at her/Logan's face, she wanted nothing to do with him at the moment.
Mystique jumped back as Sabretooth put a hand on Lynx's shoulder as she stopped. "You don't seem to like Logan very much do you my dear?" Magneto stepped closer to the girl and picked up her hand, examining her claws. "They're wonderful claws, kept perfectly sharp." Magneto took a glove off as he gently ran a finger on one her claws, his skin cutting instantly. "Those may come in use someday." Magneto put his glove back on and turned to look at Pyro and Colossus who were still standing in the doorway.
"Victor, get the girl a better room, give her one of the larger rooms. St. John, Piotr, take Lynx to earth and get her some clothes, make sure that if any of the X-Men get close to her you'll kill them, understand?" Pyro and Colossus nodded as Colossus walked to Lynx and gave her hand, helping her up.
"Shopping? Sounds like fun." Lynx rolled her eyes as Lance, Pietro, Fred, and Todd appeared.
"Lynx, these are the rest of the Brotherhood, though they have no idea how to even beat the X-Men." Magneto said as they all looked down with embarrassment.
"Good, I need a good starching post anyway." Lynx walked past Fred and ran her fingers along his huge stomach, as Magneto smiled. Pyro and Colossus followed Lynx through the halls, she had a wonderful sense of direction and took them back the way her father had taken her and to the metallic orbs.
"The Sheila's good mate." St. John whispered to Piotr as two of the orbs opened up, Colossus taking one for himself because of his size, and Pyro and Lynx taking the second one until Lynx was informed on how to control it.
"By the way St. John, I heard that comment you made to Piotr, and if you don't want a painful sex change, then stop whispering about me, even if it is good." Lynx sat down and ran a finger along her nails, making sure that she didn't have to sharpen them again.
"Dangerous Sheila aren't you?" the red-haired man asked.
"Of course, haven't you met my parents?" Pyro raised an eyebrow, he didn't know her parents.
"No, who are they?"
"Rita Cromwell, and Victor Creed, a very dangerous mix." Pyro's jaw dropped as he heard the two names, he remembered when Rita stayed with them, she was bitchy in the mornings and Victor was a bastard 24/7.
This'll be interesting, a bitch in the morning and a bastard the rest of the time, fun. Pyro looked at Lynx, vaguely aware that they had landed and the orb was open as she stepped out. Pyro followed her and they found Colossus, holding the $1000 Magneto had given them to take Lynx shopping. "Magneto sent us to get you some clothes and a uniform." Lynx nodded and walked into the first clothing store, getting some blue jeans, white tube tops, and black over shirts. Now she needed a uniform, they still had about $900, Lynx never wore designer clothes, and it never cost much.
She walked around, and finally picked out a black leather trench coat, black baggy pants, and a black tank top. The boys looked at the uniform oddly as she explained that she move easily in the clothes. The three returned to Magneto's base with $400 left, due to the expense of the trench coat.
"Before the boys show you to your new room, I'd like you to meet the one other Brotherhood member." Lynx looked at Magneto and leaned against the wall, telling him that she's waiting.
Lynx looked to the door as a handsome, young, brown-haired boy walked into the room. He couldn't be more then 16 and oddly enough had light blue eyes, almost transparent. "This is Greg, or Chaos, he can control the very moon and sun, even change the tides. He will become very powerful in the future, as will you. Greg, show Lynx to her new room." Greg nodded to Erik and turned around, walking through a series of halls, Lynx following behind him. After a while they came to much larger room then Lynx was in before, it was huge with its own bathroom connected to it, and a floor to ceiling punching bag in the corner, brand new.
"Your lucky that your Victor's daughter, you get one of the good rooms with a nice punching bag, I get the same kind of room, its right across the hall from this one. Mystique, Pyro, Colossus, Magneto, and Sabretooth get the same kind of room, everyone else has a very small room and they have to share a bathroom." Greg told Lynx as she walked over to the punching bag, it was one of the better ones she had seen.
"Why do the others get the small rooms?" Lynx looked at Greg.
"Because, they will never amount to anything, where you and me will become very powerful in the future." Greg explained.
"But isn't Pietro Magneto's son?"
"Yes he is, but he has no idea what he's doing and is a complete failure to his father." Lynx nodded as picked up the bags of clothes that she has just gotten and began putting them away in the dark mahogany dresser, and her uniform in the closet. "Hope to see you around later today, breakfast and lunch is fend for yourself, and diner is usually at 7." Greg left the room and went across the hall to his own room.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
"So where did Lynx go?" Shawn and Tyler were sitting in the rec room, watching The Matrix.
"She went to be with her father." Tyler said, not taking his eyes from the movie.
"You let her go to him? You're an idiot, you know that man?" Shawn sighed, it was sad that she had to leave.
"I had to let her go, she's my best friend, I can't make her stay if she's not happy here, or telling Logan where she is so that he can go and find her." Tyler glanced at Shawn before going back to the movie again.
"You like her don't you? You really, really like her?" Shawn smiled as Tyler's face turned red and he turned away from Shawn. "You do!" Shawn laughed as Marie walked downstairs.
"What's going on with you two?" she looked from her brother to a very red Tyler.
"Tyler likes Lynx." Shawn smiled, he felt special because he finally realized the obvious.
"Well duh, I could have told you that a long time ago big brother. Besides, they were holding hands last night." Tyler's face turned redder, if possible, as he stood up and walked outside, he knew that he would be teased forever now.
"Well sorry little sister, I guess that I'm just not as smart as you." Shawn said as he turned off the movie and followed Tyler outside, ready to torment him some more. "So, how long have you liked her." Tyler turned around and picked up a leaf, charging it up and throwing it at Shawn, unlike his father's cards, when Tyler threw something charged at anything, it exploded the second it hits a solid surface. Shawn was blown back into the wall as Rogue came running downstairs, followed by Scott, Jean, Teresa, and Jason.
"What happened here?" Scott looked around, and from where Shawn was, there was a hole in the wall now.
Tyler glared at Shawn and walked off, followed by Rogue. "Tyler, wahts wrong?" Tyler turned around and looked at Rogue.
"He just made me mad."
"That's no reason to use your powers against him, what did he do?"
"He was teasing me about liking Lynx." Tyler looked down, he knew Lynx well and she was just like her mother, if she ever came back it wouldn't be for a long time, and even though it hadn't been a whole day, he missed his best friend.
"Ya miss her don't ya?" Tyler nodded to his mother as Remy walked up behind him. "So whay don't ya tell us where she is?"
"Because mom, she's my best friend and she left because she wanted to, I can't give her away." Remy put a hand on Tyler's shoulder and smiled to him.
"Don't worry Tyler, she'll come back when she's ready." Tyler nodded, knowing it wasn't the truth, but to Remy it was, Remy didn't know that Lynx was with her father. Tyler turned and walked away from his parents, passing Shawn who had an ice pack on his head and Rita next to him, she must have come done a few minutes ago.
Rogue walked up to Rita and sat next to her. "From waht I hear, Shawn was teasing Tyler about liking Lynx." Rogue told Rita as Rita glared at Shawn.
"Shawn, be nice to Tyler while Lynx is gone." Shawn nodded, he had a few bruises on his head and at least one bruised rib. "You deserved what you got Shawn and you know it, but your very lucky that you have a healing factor." Shawn nodded to his mother, as his bruises began to disappear.
Rita stood up and walked inside, leaving Shawn with the ice pack as the rest of the adults followed her while Teresa and Jason sat with Shawn. "You moron, don't you know not to mess with Tyler when he's in a bad mood about Lynx? But you got off lucky, if Lynx was here and heard about this, she'd have your ass." Jason told Tyler as Scott walked outside just in time to hear his son.
"Wanna rephrase that last word Jason?" Scott looked at Jason as Teresa walked inside, she hated being in the middle of fights, she always heard everyone's real thoughts that they would never voice.
"Sorry dad, Lynx would have your butt." Scott nodded and walked back inside.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Lynx was standing in her room, hair pulled back in a tight pony tail, using the punching bag for the first time, she was punching so hard that the stuffing was beginning to shift. Greg knocked on her door and opened it a crack to make sure that she wasn't getting dressed, though if she was he wouldn't say anything about it, but he opened the door and stood there watching her go at it with the bag. "I'm guessing that your really mad." Lynx looked up at him, she was too into her workout to even notice him walk in.
"No, not really, I always train like this." She stood back and began kicking the bag extremely hard, making Greg glad that she was on their side, and not fighting against them.
"Your good, you'll have to train with Piotr soon, no one's been able to beat him, except Logan, but that was 14 or 15 years ago from what I hear."
"Why, what's his power?"
"He can create an indestructible suit of armor over his whole body, or you can train with Fred, we call him the immoveable object, or Blob." Greg said as Lynx took the hair tie out of her hair and put it on her dresser, letting her hair fall as Greg's smile widened.
"Piotr sounds like a better opponent to me." Lynx ran a brush through her hair so it didn't look as messed up as it did a second ago.
"He is, so did you have a boyfriend before you came here?" Lynx turned around and looked at Greg.
"Why?"
"Cause I thought that you would have like tons of guys around you at all times, your pretty." Lynx growled at Greg as he took a step back.
"So?"
"Well, I thought that you might like it."
Lynx growled at Greg again as he turned to walk out of her room and ran into Sabretooth, who was also growling at Greg. "Leave her alone." Sabretooth snapped at Greg as he ran to his room. "What was that all about Lynx?"
"He was asking me if I had a boyfriend before I came here and I growled at him and then you came along." Lynx rolled her eyes.
"Good, I don't want to become an overprotective father, takes too much time." Lynx gasped and hit Victor's arm playfully. "Your strong, that's very good, maybe you can train with me sometimes, just don't kill me the way you did when you were 1."
"Yes daddy." Lynx gave Victor an innocent face.
"Have fun Lynx, I'm gonna go do a few things for Erik, don't flirt with Greg while I'm gone and don't even think of calling Xavier's place, that will just show him where you are." Victor told her and left her room.
"At least he's trying to be a good father." Lynx said to herself.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Tyler rolled over in bed and picked the phone up as he checked the clock, 2:41 A.M. "Hello?" Tyler asked tiredly.
"Hi Ty, how have you been." Tyler sat up in bed, all sleepiness out of his system.
"Lynx? Your allowed to call us here?"
"Well, no, but why make dad feel special? I don't follow mom's rules, why should I follow his? So tell me, what's been happening this past day?" Lynx asked.
"Um…I kinda bruised Shawn's head and ribs by charging a leaf and throwing it at him." Lynx laughed on the other end, she loved her brother, but seeing him get hurt is so much fun.
"Why?"
"He kept teasing me about liking…um…just a few unimportant things." Tyler said, Lynx already knew that he liked her, but she didn't need to know that he would hurt his friend because of it.
"Like what kind of stuff?" Lynx asked, she already knew the answer, she just like to drag it out of him because it was so much fun.
"Nothing important, I just got kinda mad, and be careful, Logan has been out looking for you lately, so wherever your father is, lay low if it's somewhere around here." Tyler warned his friend, changing the topic.
"Don't worry, the base is nowhere near home, you don't have to worry about me." Lynx assured her friend as she heard a rather large person coming down the hall. "Sorry Ty, I need to go, someone's coming." Lynx hung up the phone and turned around to see who is was.
"What were you up to?" Piotr's strong Russian accent wasn't something you mistake, see knew it was him before she even saw him.
"Nothing, just waking around, I couldn't sleep very well. From what I hear, you're the person I should be training with, they say your armor is indestructible." Lynx said as she sat on the table, next to the phone.
"Well, then you heard right." Piotr smiled and walked to the kitchen, coming back with a bag of chips.
"What kind of food do you guys have here?"
"Mainly junk food, me and St. John do most of the shopping and we grew up on crap like this." He said, indicating the chips.
"Lucky, I grew up on crap like apples, Ororo and Jean stock the fridge with healthy stuff, the only person who gets to have what he likes is Logan, and that's because no one will say anything about his beer." Lynx said, stealing a few chips from Piotr's bag.
"Hey girl, your walking on thin ice taking my food." Piotr laughed as he moved the phone and sat next to Lynx on the table.
"If Bobby Drake was here, I would be." Lynx told him as she took some more chips and ate them.
"So what are you doing awake at 3?" Piotr put the bag at arm's length where Lynx couldn't get to it.
"I couldn't sleep." Lynx lied as she tired to get more chips but failed.
"So you call your boyfriend when you can't sleep?" Piotr smiled.
"Um…I got really bored, but he's not my boyfriend, he's just my best friend."
"Don't worry, I wont tell the boss, or your father. But since your awake, wanna come train with me? I can't sleep either. And by the way, wonderful job with Mystique's face earlier." Lynx nodded as Piotr stood up and helped Lynx down off the table. For some reason Lynx didn't get mad at him for helping her so much, or even think of getting mad at him.
"Doing something with my daughter?" the two turned around to see Victor standing in the hallway, mostly hidden by the dark shadows.
"Yes daddy, yes he was." Lynx said sarcastically as she stood up on her tip toes and kissed Piotr on the lips to see what her father would do.
Sabretooth growled loudly and walked over to Piotr, ready to fling him across the room, until Piotr's armor appeared and he ended up throwing Sabretooth across the room, then turned back to Lynx. "Come on, lets go." Lynx laughed and followed Piotr to the training room. "What was that all about back there?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to have some fun, I got a little bored." Lynx smiled as Piotr stood in the middle of the metal room, watching her intently. "Ready?" Colossus nodded as Lynx looked up, the room was about 10 ft. tall as she jumped up all 8 ft. and landed on Piotr's shoulders, though it did nothing. Lynx jumped off , landing on her feet right before Piotr threw her off.
Lynx sunk low to the ground like a cat ready to pounce, as Piotr walked closer to her. Lynx used her legs and pushed herself off the ground towards Piotr, scratching his armor and leaving some gashes. "Dam girl, those are some nice claws." Piotr looked down at the gashes as Lynx quickly turned around and kick his back, making him stumble into the wall, giving her another chance to scratch him.
Piotr turned around and quickly got out of the way as Lynx turned in the air and pushed off the wall, back flipping and landing on her feet. Piotr charged at Lynx as she jumped up, landing behind him as he turned around and faced her back. Lynx stood perfectly still, listening to Piotr came closer.
Lynx waited till the last second, then dropped to the ground as she kicked his leg, knocking him off balance and making him fall. Lynx stood up as Piotr's armor disappeared, and saw Magneto and Sabretooth standing behind a piece of glass, watching the fight.
"Your good, you take after your father in strength." Piotr stood up and smiled to Lynx as the two walked out of the training room.
"He's right Lynx, you are good, I've only seen one person who could rip through Colossus's armor like that, and that was Wolverine." Magneto informed Lynx as she blew a strand of hair from her face. "It's good to finally have someone who fights the way Wolverine does." Magneto said, turning to glare at Sabretooth.
Everyone held their breath as Lynx grabbed Magneto's collar and jerk his head down to her so they were eye level. "Don't you ever, ever compare me to him again, understand?"
Piotr quickly grabbed Lynx and dragged her away from a very pissed off Magneto. "That's not very safe to do Lynx, it's never good to threaten the boss." Piotr leaned down and whispered to her.
"I really don't care, he'd be stupid to try and hurt me, or throw me out of here, I'm a valuable teammate now that he's seen me fight you." Lynx told Piotr as she took the same strand of hair out of her face again.
"We'll see about that Lynx, we'll see." Piotr stood up and could feel the metal halls vibrating. "Here he comes." Piotr put a hand on Lynx's shoulder as Magneto stopped in front of Lynx with Sabretooth behind him.
"You're a brave girl aren't you?" Magneto said to Lynx as she looked him right in the eyes. "Your just what we need for this team, I think that she would be perfect in her mother's old place, we still need a third Alcolyte, and Chaos doesn't seem to be working very well. So Lynx, you haven't told us let, what's your code name?"
"Lethal" Lynx told the old man as Magneto smiled, he hadn't seen someone as strong and clever as her since her mother was with him.
"Welcome to the team Lethal." Magneto nodded to Lynx and left the three in the hall.
"You must be the luckiest person I've ever met." Piotr was shocked, she challenged Magneto, grabbed his collar and jerked him down to her eye level, and she got a spot on his team.
"Maybe you should call me a lucky charm instead then." Lynx smiled as she stood on the tip of her toes and gave Piotr a kiss on the cheek, then walked towards her room, leaving a speechless Piotr and a pissed off Sabretooth in the hall.
