Mutants of the Caribbean
Scene one: An Entirely Proper Dream
It was a chilly morning and the cold air caused a mist to form above the warm waters of the Caribbean. Through the mist a song started to filter softly, almost inaudibly at first, as it's source grew nearer the song became more prominent above the churning waters.
"Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me. We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot, drink up, my brothers, yo ho."
A large ship came gliding slowly, silently out of the mist. This was the H.M.S. Dauntless the pride of the X-Men's naval fleet.
"We kidnap and ravage, and don't give a hoot, drink up, my brothers, yo ho."
On the bow stood a young girl in a faded pink dress, her song was faint, almost whispered under her breath.
"Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me. We extort, we pilfer, we filch, and sack, drink up—"
With a gasp the song ended as the young girl, Miss Katherine 'Kitty' Pryde, turned to see who had grasped her shoulder. The man responsible, Mr. Logan, was a weather-worn sailor. Though he was short, it was obvious that this man could and had survived many fights against larger men.
"Quiet, half-pint, cursed pirates sail these waters," Logan growled. "I can smell 'em."
"Mr. Logan that is quite enough." Lieutenant Piotr 'Colossus' Rasputin said in a thick Russian accent as he approached the two on the bow.
"Half-pint here was singin' about pirates, that's bad luck in this fog," Logan warned adding a certain edge to his voice. "Mark my words, bub."
"Consider them marked," Colossus replied as he looked down at Logan.
Logan turned and walked away, grumbling, "Yeah right, bub, it's bad luck to have a women on board too, even a half-pint."
After Logan left Kitty piped up, "I think it would be, like, totally exciting to meet a pirate."
Lieutenant Colossus glanced over at her. "You should think again, Miss Pryde. Vile and dissolute creatures, the lot of them. I intend to see to it that any man or mutant that sails under a pirate flag or wears a pirate brand gets what they deserve," he paused before continuing his short speech, "a short drop and a sudden stop."
Confused the young Miss Pryde looked to Mr. Logan for a translation. Logan pretended to hang himself in response. Kitty gasped again. At this point an older man with a long blond wig and a wooden leg, known as Professor Charles Xavier, came up to the bow looking a bit worried.
"Lieutenant Colossus, I appreciate your fervor, but I'm concerned about the effect this subject will have upon my daughter," Xavier protested.
"My apologies, Professor," Lieutenant Colossus said bowing his head slightly.
"Actually, I find it, like, totally fascinating," Kitty assured .
"Yes..." the Professor sighed, "That's what concerns me..."
Realizing that she would hear no more of pirates today, Kitty turned away to resume her post at the bow. Nothing but dark waters and a cold mist met her gaze at first, then slowly a young boy clinging to a piece of wreckage drifted into view.
"Look, a boy!" She shouted more than a bit startled. "There's, like, a boy in the water!"
Colossus ran over to Kitty and affirmed her accusations. "Man overboard! Fetch a hook! Haul him aboard." Almost as soon as he gave the order they were performed and the young boy was brought on to deck. Colossus checked the boys vitals: "He's still breathing."
Meanwhile Logan was still gazing over the side of the ship. "Mary, mother of bub!" he exclaimed drawing everyone's attention back to the water.
The remains of a large merchant ship pierce through the mist. It's haul has been set ablaze and the flames seem to dance in an almost unnatural way: they sway and weave though there is no wind.
"What happened here?" Professor Xavier asked stunned.
"Most likely the powder magazine. Merchant vessels run heavily armed," Colossus explained matter-of-factly.
"A lot of good it did them. Everyone's thinkin' it; I'm just sayin' it, bub," Logan growled from his post catching the crews attention, then he said the word they all feared: "Pirates!"
"There's no proof of that. It was probably just an accident," The Professor said trying to convince himself as well as the others.
Colossus was more concerned about checking for more survivors, than figuring out who or what had caused the once proud ship to fall into such ruin. "Rouse the Captain immediately!" he ordered. "Heave to and take in sail -- launch the boats."
While Colossus reclaimed control over the crew, Xavier made sure to keep Kitty and the young boy out of there way. "Katherine I want you to accompany the boy. He'll be in your charge." He stated as calmly as he could, "Take care of him."
Kitty sat for a while just watching the boys unconscious form. Suddenly he woke up, catching Kitty by the wrist. Startled, she phased her wrist out of his grip. He looked awestruck for a moment at his hand, then he raised his eye to stare up at Kitty's.
"It's okay, my name is Katherine Pryde," Kitty told him soothingly.
"L-Lance Alvers," the young boy responded though no one had asked.
"I'm watching over you, Lance," Kitty replied quietly as Lance slipped back into unconsciousness. As he did a gold medallion round his neck caught Kitty's eye. She stared down at it and a golden skull design stared back. "You're, like, a pirate," Kitty whispered in awe.
"Has he said anything?" Colossus asked, coming up behind her abruptly.
"His name is, like, Lance Alvers, that's all I found out," Kitty responded quickly hiding the medallion behind her back.
"Take him below deck," Colossus told one of the crew as he went off to attend to other matters.
After he'd gone Kitty brought the medallion out to examine more closely. She turned her back on the crew, looking out towards the ocean, so no one would notice her studying the medallion. It was then another ship caught her attention, it was large and dark she watched it attentively as it faded away into the mist silently as an unseen wind filled it's black sails.
