Author's note- Ok, in case you haven't noticed the last two chapters are named after song titles. So from now on the chapters have the same title as some kind of song.

Chapter 4- Love is a battlefield

In a black cat suit, red timberlands with heels, red mask, and a red and black long coat. Monet as M, was ready for her first mission. M and Scarlet Witch were hiding behind a tree, in front of a guarded warehouse entrance. Wanda had informed the girl their purpose of being there. They were to break in and load the recently shipped, crates imported from Eastern Europe. Mystique and Magneto had not told them of their contents, just that they were extremely important that they have them. There were two guards watching the station, and the girls had to figure out a way in.

M had walked to the Guard's Station and knocked on the door. The one of the guards came to the door, and he peered out to see whom it was. He saw M standing there, and he stepped out the door. As soon as he came out the door, he began staring her up and down and he said suavely, "Can I help you ma'am?" M smiled at the guard who she assumed to be a college student by his physical appearance, "Hello, I'm sorry to be disturbing you during while you are on duty. But my car has seemed to have gotten a flat tire, I wondering if I could use your telephone?"

"Sure." He told her. He held the door open for her, and she seductively walked up the steps.

The guard was at staring her as entered the room, but he was still confused by her outfit, he asked, "What's with the get up?" It's a little early for Halloween, baby."

"I know that. I just left work, I'm a children's party entertainer."

The other guard turned around and saw M, "Hello, mama. Who are you supposed to be? Super Babe?"

M hopped in the air, spun around, and kicked him in the face with a sideswipe, sending him flying into the front, bulletproof window. The other guard tried to grab her, but M used her left leg and kicked him into the wall. She lifted her right leg, and held him against the wall with it.

"What is the entry code?" She demanded, speaking emotionless.

He resisted, not telling her. She pushed down on his throat harder.

He groaned, and then forced out the code, " Five, Two, Nine, Zero, Zero, Four."

She let him go, and he began gasping for air. She turned to him, "That is all you had to tell to begin with."

"You bitch."

M jumped up and did a double kick, once in the chest, once in the head rendering him unconscious. "Don't ever call me a bitch." She leaned down and looked in his face, "Too bad, you were actually kind of cute."

She came out of the station, and Scarlet came out of hiding. She had seen the guard fly into the front window. She looked at M, "Nice." "Thanks." Monet retorted. Wanda stood in front of the gate as Monet entered the code. The gates opened and the two hurried through. Avalanche and Blob came through in a white delivery truck. Toad and Quicksilver rode in on top of the truck. Scarlet and M stopped and turned toward each other, Scarlet said "You search the area and make sure there's nobody else in here. I'll go with the guys to get the merchandise." M nodded and the two girls took off in opposite directions.  M stopped between every storage building and scanned for any wanted presence.

After checking, she flew up and over to where everyone else was. The others were loading the entire contents of that one building, into the truck. They were halfway done, when M had started getting a funny feeling, she flew back up in the air and came back down with something to say. "Hey guys," She declared, "We've got company."

"The po-po?" Toad asked.

"No, worst." She replied.

"Not them again, damn it." Quicksilver blurted out.

"Every time." Blob spoke, "How do they always find out where we are?"

"Who are they exactly?" M asked.

"The X-men." Scarlet answered, "They're always, trying to stop us from doing what we gotta do."

"Whatever." Lance said, "You guys hurry, so we can make a quick exit."

The gang started loading faster, Quicksilver was speeding between the building and the truck, carrying the smaller crates to the truck, M was inside the building, grabbing the larger boxes and tossing them to Blob who was on the truck. Scarlet got in the front of truck with Avalanche, and Toad was on top of it keeping look out. Toad saw Nightcrawler perched on a tree branch, but before he could say anything, Nightcrawler had teleported himself on top on of the truck and knocked him off. After Toad the ground, he grunted, "They're here, yo." M tossed one more to Blob and said, "You all finish loading, I'll go see to our guests." She flew out of the building and began hovering over the truck.

She couldn't see anything or anyone around. Until, she tried moving, but she couldn't she was immobilized in mid-air. It was like a force was holding her arms and legs together. She tried pulling herself out of the forces, and she looked down and saw that same red-haired girl from her school with her arms extended out toward her, like she was the one keeping her like that. M looked around and saw a trashcan near the girl; M concentrated on it, lifted up with her telekinesis, and made it hit the girl from behind, loosening her from the girls hold.

Jean got up and dusted herself off. She looked up to see if the girl was still there, nothing. "Where'd she go?" she asked herself. She looked up and around to see where she went. Before she knew it, M swooped down and knocked her into a wall. Jean just laid there, M hovered over her, "Never fuck with a superwoman." M flew back up to find the truck, while flying, she was struck by a blast of energy on her right side. It fizzled in her side, knocking her out of the air. Jubilee ran over to find out where M landed after she had knocked down. She saw her lying face up on the ground, between two buildings. Jubilee thinking the girl was knocked out, went over to her and stood over her. She turned her back to the girl, and called out to Damia and Rouge, "You guys, over here. She's out." When she turned around, M was standing up. She punched Jubilee in the stomach, and she picked up her up and tossed her through the alley fifteen feet in front of her. "You have to make sure your target doesn't have invulnerability before attempting to knock me out, OK Sparky."

M wasn't too far from the truck now, so she tried making a break for it. She had the truck in her sights, she saw Quicksilver circling Spyke. Scarlet was battling Venus, and Blob was trying to handle Rogue. Avalanche was still in the truck cab, trying to find away around the battling mutants. Shadowcat had phased through the back of the truck, and tried wrestling with Avalanche in the cab.

M saw that Lance and Blob needed the most help so she thought she'd hurry and help them out. She walked swiftly toward them, but she felt a searing pain in her left side. She looked at her side and saw that it was bleeding. She slowly turned around to see what had hit her from behind and left that mark. She turned to see a boy with an odd visor over his eyes.

"Hey you." The boy called out, "Like beating up little kids?"

"Only if they think they can take me..."She answered

"Why don't you pick on someone your own size?"

"If that means you, big boy, then gladly."

Cyclops shot an optic blast aimed at her chest. M dodged it by cartwheeling to the right. He sent another; she dodged again doing ninja-like flips toward. He keep sending them toward, but keep missing, she keep dodging them by doing the flips. She finally reached him; some punches were thrown, between the two. M was a very skilled fighter; Cyclops was shocked to see someone so skillful with the Brotherhood.

M went down, did a low swiping kick, and knocked Cyclops to the ground. M straddled him (her knees on his arms) before he could get back up. "You put up a good fight, laser boy." She said caressing his face.

"So do you." He responded.

"There's nothing that turns me on more than a strong man I can battle that actually does well."

"Really? Maybe we can do something about that after I stop you."

"I highly doubt that you can stop me. But until we meet again..." She moves in and kisses him passionately. When she pulls away, she strikes his face and making him unconscious.

M gets off him and sees that Avalanche, Scarlet, and Quicksilver have managed to handle them selves. Shadowcat is lying face down on the ground, Venus was turned crossways on top of her, unconscious. Spyke was stuck in the building door. M saw Blob having difficulties with Rogue. She flew up, found two trashcans, flew back up and threw them at Rogue, knocking her out. Nightcrawler was teleporting, trying to get away from Quicksilver, who was catching up with him. M and Scarlet figured out he might go. The two set themselves up near the same tree where Toad saw him. Scarlet stayed on the ground and M flew up and hid in the tree. Once Nightcrawler teleported him up there, M caught him by surprise and Wanda threw a high-volume hex at him. That hex knocked him senseless, and M left him up in the tree.

Avalanche quickly drove over to them, "Come on." He said, "We gotta get this over to the big man before more of the X-geeks show up." Scarlet and M got in the cab with Avalanche; Blob was in the back with Quicksilver tending to Toad.

Lance had seen M in action and was impressed. He never accepted her into the Brotherhood. But he felt a lot different about her now. "Hey Monet?" he said.

"Yes Lance?" She responded.

"Nice job out there."

"Thanks. So you approve of me now?"

"Yeah. So all I want to say is..."

M grew more attentive.

"Welcome to the 'hood."

M was so happy that he had accepted her as a partner. She threw her hands around him and hugged him, "Thank you so much!" She was so happy she didn't realize was she was doing, because she gave him a little kiss on the lips. Avalanche blushed, but M realized what she did when Scarlet said, "Ahem!" M moved her hands and turned back around towards the windshield, "Sorry. I just got a little too happy." Avalanche and Scarlet chuckled, but Avalanche was hiding his emotion. He wanted her to kiss him again, he liked her now. He wanted more of the beautiful and mysterious M.
