Diablo slipped though the night toward the catacombs her and Fi called home. She heard a voice coming from an alley, and went closer to investigate and slipped off her clothes to revel the black leather underneath a removed the mask from her pocket to put it on.
"Okay give us your money."
"I am sure you have more then I do."
"Oh you trying to be smart man?"
"No I am but a simple Priest. Here is my wallet. May god forgive your sins, and may you enter his kingdom in heaven."
"Now what would a couple of thugs like you be doing hanging around a place like this."
"Who are you? Come out of the shadows or we'll shoot ya."
"Oh I'm Diablo, Señorita Diablo now unless I heard wrong which I rarely do I believe that this man said he was a priest."
"So ya gonna make something of it lady?"
"Yes now give this man back his wallet so I don't have to hurt you. I believe that priest really have a problem with violence." Diablo said Flipping out her knife.
"Yes ma'am." Said the thugs as they fled at he sight of the combined threat of the knife, the leather, and the horns.
"Priest you alright?"
"Yes God has provided for me once again. Take this you are welcome to come to my church. We accept all even mutants." The priest handed her a rosary and headed off to his home.
Diablo tuned the rosary over in her hands looking at it in confusion. She had been raised in a house that was decidedly unreligious and the only time god or anything else holy was mentioned was when it was used in a swear word. She slipped the Rosary over her head and let it rest around her neck like a necklace for lack of any other place to put it. She then turned her attention to the other object the priest had handed to her. It appeared to be a card of some sort. Unfortunately it was not in brail or engraved so she didn't know what it said.
/Damn I'm going to have to have Fi read it to me. / -________________________________________________-
Vapor was back to Sinister's sooner then he expected. Sinister had contacted him saying that instead of in three days he would need to bring in a Man named Harpoon now. Dead but undamaged. So here he was in a seedy bar looking for the man. He spotted him at the bar trying unsuccessfully to flirt with a waitress. Tomas tapped him on the shoulder.
"You and I have some business outside."
Harpoon confidently rose, it was obvious with out even having to try and read the man's mind that he thought he could take on anything. He was wrong. Once he got outside Vapor quickly caused his heart to stop beating. It was a strange occurrence for someone to ask for someone alive but in good condition. Vapor quickly transported to the astral plane and back into Sinister's lab.
"Same payment?"
"No I have enough not to end up dying when I transport into the real world. This time I want to know something. Why are you trying to get the maurders together?"
"This has nothing to do with the maurders and everything to do with the X-men. I need Gambit to infiltrate their little school and this," he said pointing to Harpoon's body "Is to scare them. Imagine waking up, going to get some coffee and finding the body of one of your enemies tied to your kitchen chair. Fear is a very useful weapon against people with no obvious weaknesses."
"Forget I asked." Said Vapor cursing himself for his curiosity. /Curiosity killed the cat, true, but satisfaction brought it back. In this case that might not be true though. / He decided not to accept that many jobs from sinister in the future. /But you still have to rely on him to make sure you don't remain in the astral plane forever. God why did you stick me with this power no one deserves it not even the lowliest street thrash. / _____________________________-_______________________________________
In Diablo's home.
"Hey Fi what does this say?"
"It says St. James's church. Since when are you our resident Demon interested in going to a church especially a Catholic church. And why are you wearing a Rosary?"
"That's a rosary?"
"Yes were did you get it from?"
"A priest I met on the street. He's the one who gave me the card.
"Did you pick pocket a thief?"
"NO!"
"Yikes I was just asking you don't have to go all ballistic on me. Oh question why did I find black leather on the floor?"
"That would be mine."
"And why do you have black leather?"
"Umm because."
"You are one strange character Diablo but black leather? Why black leather. You into bondage or something?"
"What do you think I am? A prostitute?"
"No but what else do you use black leather for?"
"It blends in to the night."
"I'm going to bed."
"Night Fi."
"Night Diablo."
Diablo curled up on the shelf she called her bed and slept. ____-_____________________________________________________________
The next morning X-men mansion kitchen.
Scott came down to make coffee. There was someone sitting in one of the chairs.
/Logan probably fell asleep down here. / was Scott's first though but when he turned around to see if Logan wanted coffee to instead he saw Harpoon with one of his trademark weapons stuck in his chest and a note attached to it. With out even thinking about it he screamed very loudly.
Logan ran in claws out ready for a full scale attack on the mansion. Instead he found a dead guy and a hysterical Scott.
"Scott it's a dead guy yelling won't help it. He smells like he's been dead for awhile. Back up so I can check why he died."
"Isn't it because he got stabbed with a big sharp thingy in his chest." Said Scott who had now stopped screaming.
"No there isn't enough blood and what blood there was isn't dry enough. No he must have been killed some other way then stabbed. Here give me the note."
"I'm not touching that it's all bloody."
Logan grabbed the note. "You're a sissy Scott you really are."
"It says happy birthday Xavier I hope you like the present, Essex is back and kicking."
"No not sinister he was worse then magneto."
"Who's Sinister?" Said Logan as he examined the harpoon.
"Big scary man with weird skin and eyes who likes doing nasty experiments on mutants. Oh he is a mutant to."
"Sounds interesting." _________________________________________________-___________
Okay I didn't mean for this to have so much X-Men in it but I sorta had to explain what happened to Harpoon who by the way is not an original character. He was in the comic books and was responsible for Angel losing his wings for awhile. I promise to have another chappie out soon.
