This story takes place a few weeks after the X-men defeated Apocalypse.
I don't own any of the X-men: evolution characters from the show.
And now onto...
Sentinel Siege
"I feel your offer is a little to inefficient for the work I am about to do for you. It is a small price to design such weapons. If you want my help, then you will raise the payment."
"I freed you from jail and supplied you an adequate area for your work. I find it irritating that you ask for a higher payment amount. If you succeed, then we shall see about doubling the payment."
"Doubling?! Well, when you put it that way, it makes me glad to assist you cause. I will contact you tomorrow and give you the details."
"Very well, I trust you will do your job well."
Bolivar Trask and Edward Kelly nodded in agreement, and then parted from their meeting. Trask quickly made his way out of the warehouse where their secret meeting had been scheduled for, and entered his car.
"Double payment; that guy sure knows how to make someone do something. I shall start right now." Trask whispered to himself. He picked up his cell phone from the floor and dialed a number. "Carter, am I correct to think you have the team assembled?"
"Yes sir. Everything is planned as you asked and is awaiting you, sir." The voice on the other end replied.
"Very well. Tell them I shall be there in ten minutes." Trask closed the phone, and started the car.
In ten minutes on the dot, Bolivar Trask entered a secured and secret area. He arrived in a small conference room with glass walls that was submerged underwater. A few fish were gazing into the glass. Trask saw the man he wanted to talk to, Carter Barker, and sat in a chair next to him. He laced his fingers together and rested his hands on the table next to him. Carter spun his chair to face Trask and nodded briefly.
"Sir, I have a presentation to show you. I shall play it now." Carter stated, and then pressed a button. A screen came down, and a computer screen played on the screen.
Trask smiled to himself. He was proud of his loyal employee. Carter had never questioned him, and had served him well. His attitude was what made Trask really proud. The "sirs" were what got him.
Carter was young though, only twenty. He was tall, just over six feet, with short brown hair, and misty blue eyes. He had a tan from sunning and had a muscular built. He was often quiet, but disciplined. Trask remembered he had once been a male model. He also remembered the first week Carter had been subjected to aid him. He seemed like a show off, very boastful. He would try to impress some of the ladies, showing off his muscles and charm. Trask had even caught him making out once, in his office. The look of his new employee then had not left his memory. Standing there in his office, looking scared and worried. His hair was messed up, and his clothes as well. Lipstick marks on his chest and face. Trask could laugh at the memory now. Since then, a year ago, Carter has been the person he was today. And Trask was glad to have him.
"Sir, these are all the X-men currently staying at Professor Charles Xavier's mansion. They are all mutants of different sorts."
A screen popped up with face pictures of all the mutants. Trask noticed how many of them there were, and he also recognized some of them from before, when they had attacked his Sentinel.
"These are the Brotherhood Members, sir. You might remember them, as they were the mutants who saved citizens publicly and were very popular during that time a few months ago. All though, sources state that they stopped the accidents that they had purposely started."
A picture of all the Brotherhood members popped up. Trask recalled all their faces from the same event he had with the X-men.
"And these, sir, are some mutants who used to be affiliated with the mutant Magneto, but their location is unidentified. It is suspected that they have not left the city limits."
Three male mutants pictures popped up. Two of them looked around twenty, while the other one looked around thirty. The screen turned off.
"Sir, we have finished six products so far. I feel they are adequate enough for battle. It is predicted we will have fifteen if work is good by tomorrow. They just need your inspections sir."
"Very well." Trask stated as he stood up. "They shall be sent off tomorrow, after the public announcement by Edward Kelly. Good work Carter. I expect we will be in for quite a show tomorrow."
