Chapter Fourteen
A Funny Thing Happened During Our Poker Game
Logan shuffled the deck and dealt out five cards to each of the players. Charles had probed Huntress' mind to find out which mutants she had been programmed to pick up. A good bit of them were students at the mansion, Kitty, Timothy, Kurt, Bobby, Jennifer and others, but the professor was more concerned with the mutants outside the Institute that Huntress was to capture.
He, Storm and some of the older students had gone to pick up some of the new mutants that had just come into their powers. Logan had been left behind to keep an eye on the remaining students.
"How many cards do ya need Half Pint?" Logan asked Kitty as she stared at her hand.
"I'm not sure," she admitted. "How about like, two?" Logan gave her the cards.
"Now its yer turn Iceboy."
"Iceman," Bobby gritted his teeth and threw all but one card on the table in front of him.
"Why don't I have a codename?" Timothy asked as he took a card out of his hand and took a replacement from Logan.
"I don't know," Logan grunted. "You have to make one up you know. How many do ya need Rogue?"
"Five."
"You can't replace all five in poker, can you?" Kurt asked.
Rogue shrugged as she picked up her new hand.
"But what should my codename be?" Timothy persisted as the game went on.
"How about annoying?" Jennifer grumbled as she glared at the cards in her hand.
"How about Mythman? Or Myth-something-or-another?" Timothy went on, ignoring Jennifer's comment.
"Mythicus?" Jubilee suggested as she replaced two of her cards.
"Hey Logan, what is this?" Timothy wondered as he held up a joker.
"That's a wild bub, you want to keep that card."
"Is this a good hand then?" the little boy asked, fanning out a royal flush.
"Darn," Rogue muttered throwing down her hand.
"Wow," Kurt stared at Timothy's cards and set his down as well. "All I had was a pair of threes."
"What? What did I get?" Timothy asked, perplexed at the others' behavior.
"You won shrimp," Logan grumbled as he set down his four sixes.
"I won?" the shape shifter's face lit up. "I won! I won! I won!" he shouted, accidentally morphing into first a Faun, then sprite, nymph, fairy, centaur and so on as he danced on his chair.
"Pipe down shrimp, I think I hear something," Logan barked as his sensitive ears picked up the sound of helicopters.
Timothy had turned into a winged horse now. He stopped dancing and shook his snow white mane. His nostrils quivered as he picked up a strange scent.
Logan stood up and shushed the kids.
"Get down!" he shouted as a helicopter hovered in the air next to the rec room window. Strange looking missiles shot out from the helicopter's canons and broke through the windows, headed straight for the kids.
Timothy neighed and reared as the missiles exploded and a thick cloud of gas quickly filled the room.
"Cover your mouths and noses!" Logan shouted as his sensitive eyes streamed tears. "Timothy! Get back here!"
The white horse shook with fear but slowly walked through the smoke towards Logan.
"Get on his back!" Logan shouted to the kids. The six kids tried to scramble on Timothy's high back. Kurt let the others get on the horse's back. With a bamf he had teleported out of the gas filled room.
"Get out of here!" Logan yelled at Timothy when Rogue, Jennifer, Bobby, Kitty, and Jubilee were all crowded on his long back. The shape shifter spread his feathered wings and flew out of the broken window, swerving out of the way just in time to avoid the helicopter.
Three men with tranquilizer guns opened the helicopter door and began firing at Timothy.
"Get on the ground!" Rogue shouted as three darts pierced Timothy's neck.
The winged horse flew away from the mansion, gradually sinking to the ground. As soon as his hooves hit the ground he broke into a gallop.
"Hold on!" Bobby shouted as they galloped headlong into the forest.
Timothy had reached a small clearing before he tripped and fell, feeling the full effect of the tranquilizer darts. The other teens fell off his back and crowded around him. He morphed into a boy again just before he fell unconscious.
"We have ta keep movin', those men might still be after us," Rogue warned as Bobby picked up the small boy and started to run deeper into the forest, the others following close behind.
Logan's eyes stung as he tried not to inhale the smoke. The men in the helicopter were firing at Timothy as he flew the others to safety. Logan pushed the poker table over and waded through the smoke to reach the rec room door. Just before he opened the door, he passed out from the sleeping gas.
More helicopters had arrived. Men were pouring out of them and were coming in through the rec room windows. Kurt bamfed next to Logan and teleported out of there before the men could reach him.
I'm the master of evil! The master of evil! I'm going to leave you here now! Bwuhahahahahahaha!
