FAMILY AFFAIRS
CHAPTER 16: ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE
NEYAPHEM BASE
Kurt couldn't believe he was going through with this. He had agreed to blood test, and they had just finished taking it and were now comparing it with Azazel's and his mother's. He wasn't sure why but all his life he wondered what his real parents were.
He had already found Mystique, even though there were times he wish he hadn't, but now he might have found his biological father. But it looked like he might be just as bad as Mystique. It was times like this he was glad that his adopted parents the Wagners found him.
He loved them like they were his real parents, and in a way they always would be. They were the ones that raised him and card for him, and they would always be close to his heart, but another part of him would always wonder about those that gave birth to him. He just had to know for sure.
He was sitting on a low bed in the medical area deep in thought. Jillian had sat down beside him and her shifting the mattress caught his attention. "Well what do you think of our little group?" she asked him.
Kurt wasn't comfortable around her. "I suppose it's alright, but I belong vith my friends."
She moved closer and placed a hand on his thigh and leaned in close. "We could be your friends, and I could be a very close 'friend'."
He pulled himself away from her. "Don't you give up? I love Amanda, vhy can't you see that?"
Her face grew darker at the mention of Amanda's name. "That little girl doesn't deserve someone like you. And you deserve someone more like yourself look at us. We were made for each other." Then the next thing he knew she grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and pulled him in and then rammed her tongue down his throat.
"Am I interrupting something?" Azazel said with an amused looked on his face. Kurt pulled away and teleported several feet away from her, wiping his mouth, with a look of disgust on his face. "What not into girls?" He asked seeing his face.
"I'm already seeing somevone, but she can't take a hint." Kurt said staring at Jillian.
"And you want to be faithful to her, how quaint." He said even more amused. "Well you should know the results just came in, so why don't you give your old man a hug son?"
Kurt stared at him unbelieving. "You mean it's true? You're my..."
"Yes Kurt, I am your father." He said.
HAWAII
Scott, Logan, and Jean had flown as fast as they could to Hawaii at Scott's insistence. After several hours they laded in a quiet spot and had gone to Alex's family. They were glad that Scott and his friends had arrived.
They told them what Alex had gone through the last couple of days and they were so worried that a mutant hate group or something had gotten to him. After they told the others of Alex's favorite spots they searched them out.
They finally made their way to the beach that Alex had been taken from. As soon as they got there they knew they had found the right place. There were scorch marks from energy blasts, a sure sign that he was there and was in trouble.
Scott looked around at everything and felt suddenly cold inside. He didn't know what to do if anything had happened to Alex. He didn't want to lose his brother again. Jean had walked up to him and put one hand on his shoulder.
Scott turned his head to look at Jean. He reached down with his right and took one of her hands in his. She smiled slightly and squeeze slightly for reassurance.
Logan however was trying to get a sent but the trail was very cold and practically nothing was left for his nose. He could still make out several footsteps in the sand and could tell by the signs that Alex put up a fight, but ultimately lost.
He was about to give up when his nose caught something. He looked closer and found a little piece of cloth, and when he examined it, it looked to be made of a certain non-flammable suit, and smelled of smoke and oil.
"Pyro." He growled, then he knew who was behind it all.
ACOLYTE BASE
Jamie and Paige were now conscious and were being led somewhere in the base. They had struggle several times but after the Psi-co and Legion gave them a taste of mental pain they stopped.
"Will you stop messing with your new suit." Morbius barked at Pyro.
"But it itches." He whined.
"Next time be more careful then." Morbius shot back. "You're lucky that kid didn't turn YOU into charcoal."
They were led to a door and both were thrown in and the door suddenly slammed. "Ouch." Paige said who had fell and skinned her hand slightly.
"You all right?" Jamie said helping her up.
"Yeah I guess, considerin' we're all captured by the bad guys I guess."
"Join the club." Alex Summers said. They turned and saw three others in the room.
"Hey I know you!" Jamie said pointing at him. "You're Scott's brother right? I've seen the picture he keeps in his room with the two of you."
"You're from the Institute?" Alex said perking up.
"Yeah, I'm Jamie and this is Paige Guthrie, Sam's sister." He told him. "We were moving her to the school when we got jumped by several of Magneto's Acolytes."
"Same here." Alex sighed. "And her too." He said pointing at X23. Jamie saw her and took a step back.
"Whoa! X23, they got you too!" He said surprised, she gave a slight glare and grumbled something under her breath.
"You know her?" The blond girl with a Russian accent asked Jamie.
"Yeah she kind of attacked the school once." Jamie said. "Who are you?"
"Oh sorry, I'm Illyana."
NEYAPHEM BASE
"So what do you say son, why not go into the family business?" Azazel said to Kurt.
"Vhat do you mean?" He asked stepping back from him.
"Oh come now my son, join me and together we can rule this world as father and son." He said reaching out with one of his arms.
"Never! I'll never join you!" Kurt shouted back at him. "I'm an X-Man, not von of you!" With that said Kurt teleported out of site.
Azazel stood there as a small group of his followers where standing around watching the scene. He turned to them and sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Do I really have to say it? GET HIM!"
With that the others including Jillian bolted out and began to search for Kurt, Mystique was still sitting behind the plastic cage her arms crossed and a not too happy look on her face, from Kurt teleporting out without her. "I feel oh so loved." He grumbled to herself.
ACOLYTE BASE
Everyone was sitting in the cell awaiting what else was going to happen to them Illyana and Alex were getting alone fine, X23 sat across from them quiet and looked like she was concentrating on trying to figure a way out.
Jamie and Paige were sitting together on a bed swinging their legs from the edge. "So how's your hand doing?" He asked.
She looked at it. "Fine I guess." It was starting to scab over slightly. "How are you doing?"
He shrugged. "Better." Earlier Jamie had made a human pyramid out of himself so X23 could try and claw out the vent in the ceiling, unfortunately it turned out to be electrified and metallic claws are not what you would use against something electrified.
Not only did she get a nasty shock but the Jamies underneath her also got a jolt of it collapsing the pyramid. By the time Jamie pulled himself together he had a few bruises and a little numbness in a few places.
"I wonder what my family is doing?" Paige said sadly. "They must be goin' out of their minds."
Jamie put a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry the others will find us and get us out."
She smiled at him. "Thanks Jamie." She flexed her hand again and rubbed it slightly.
Jamie looked at it. "It's too bad you can't make the skin underneath it normal like how you make it other stuff at times."
Paige looked at Jamie with a sudden inspiration. "Hey why not?" She looked at her hand and tried to concentrate as best she could and thought of her hand and how it was normally, then she ripped off the skin and found her hand was healed. "Jamie you're a genius!" She said happily and hugged him.
Jamie was shocked at this at first and hugged back after a second blushing slightly from it.
Alex and Illyana just looked at the piece of skin on the floor. "That...is...gross." She said staring at the left over skin on the floor.
BAYVILLE AREA, NEAR THE BROTHERHOOD HOUSE
During the night the group of FOH members in several vehicles were making their way to the Brotherhood Boarding house. Duncan was in the lead car grinning to himself the entire time. He would get back a Lance today and those others as well.
Meanwhile at the boarding house the others had no idea what was going on. All they knew was that Wanda was strangely distant lately and that Lance was still fuming over what had happened with Kitty earlier.
"How long to you think he'll be at it yo?" Toad asked Fred who was sitting on the couch eating a bag of chips.
Fred shrugged. "Depends on how pissed he is and how much energy he's got until he tires himself out." Just then a small tremor happened. "Great he's at it again." Fred groaned.
"Lance knock it off with the tremors." They heard Pietro yell from another room.
It had gone quiet again for a few minutes until there was another rumbling sound. "LANCE!" Pietro yelled again.
"It's not me!" He yelled back.
Fred and Toad looked at each other. "If that's not him...then what is that?" Fred asked. They went to the window and what they saw they didn't like. "Guys get down here and see this!"
Pietro zoomed in, and Lance and Wanda was soon followed. "What's going on?" Pietro said. Fred pointed to the window and the other three looked outside, currently there were several vehicles parked outside and a lot of angry looking people were there.
"This isn't good." Lance said.
Outside the mob was gathering around the house, while in the trees Mesmero was lurking in the trees in the shadows. He grinned at his handy work, it was so easy to convince Mathews and his friends to join the FOH, in fact he suspected they would have eventually.
It also looked like Mystique and Sabertooth had riled Graydon to do exactly what they wanted them to do. Have humans attack the Brotherhood and thus make them more hateful and distrustful of all humans to ensure their loyalty for the next stage of their lives.
And just in the nick of time the Brotherhood stepped out of the house. 'Now it begins and ends.' Mesmero thought to himself.
"What do you guys want?" Lance demanded.
"What we want is you freaks out of here, for good." They heard a voice call out, but couldn't see since the lights of the vehicles were in their eyes.
"Fat chance!" Pietro yelled.
Unknown by all Mesmero was 'urging' them all on, making them more and more angry and wanting to fight it out.
"Get them." Yelled one of the mob and it began. The humans charged the mutants, some with chains, bats and other assorted blunt objects. The Brotherhood didn't flinch and they went in too.
Lance caused the ground to shake and several of the FOH members lost their footing, Wanda hexed as many as she could, Fred charged right through them scattering them and overturned a truck that was parked there onto its roof.
Pietro zoomed around the group punching anyone he could get. Toad leaped up and over them and used his slime to blind them. It was going well for the mutants. Then it went wrong. Toad wasn't paying attention and a member hit him on the back of the head with a piece of lumber wood.
He went to the ground limp and unconscious. The man was about to hit him again but Fred had seen this and was able to grab him and throw him into a group of humans. Then someone started throwing moltov cocktails into the house.
They started to see their home begin to burn and Lance's temper increased and so did the tremors, the ground started to quake, rumble and begin to tear. But Lance didn't think of the others, as he was concentrated on the FOH.
Pietro had fallen to the ground and tumbled and rolled from his speed and him tripping. Lance saw this and stopped, which was an opening for one of the members of the FOH to pick up a rock and nailed Lance in the side of the head when he turned it to look at Pietro.
Pietro looked up in time to see the grinning smile of Duncan standing over him. "I've been saving this just for you guys." He said coldly and Pietro saw him reach to his back behind his jacket and pulled a small handgun and pointed it at Pietro. "Let's see if you're fast enough to dodge this freak."
Pietro saw him pull the trigger and closed his eyes and heard the sound of the gun go off.
"What the Hell?" He heard Mathews say.
Pietro slowly opened his eyes and to his amazement saw the bullet hovering in the air in front of his face then suddenly fall to the ground. He also saw Duncan's gun fly up as well as several other metallic objects.
He looked up and from the glow of the increasing fire of the house he saw Magneto hovering above them all. 'Never thought I would be so happy to see the old man.' Pietro thought to himself then turned to Duncan and grinned. "Boy, are you guys in trouble."
With Magneto the Brotherhood easily sent the FOH running, then Magneto turned to the other. Toad by then was slightly awake and Fred was carrying him. "Now you all see why we must fight the humans. Now you see that people like Xavier and his students are fools to think there can be peace with them."
Magneto could see them take his words to heart after what they had just gone through. "I offer you a new chance, to join me...as my elite Acolytes."
The others were surprised at this, the Acolytes were his personal team of what he considered his best. To be offered a place there meant to them that they meant more to him now. They looked at the burning building that had been their home and realized that they had no other choice now.
"Alright I'm in." Lance said, Fred and Toad joined in after that, and Pietro was grinning standing next to his father. Wanda was silent for a while, for some reason she didn't know why but all this felt wrong, for instance how did her father get here at the right moment.
But she couldn't afford the time to think on it right now, she would later. "I'm in too."
"Good now let us go." Magneto said and several of the spheres he used came in from the sky.
While they were entering the spheres Mesmero chucked to himself at Magneto's speech and acting abilities. They didn't seem to suspect that Magneto has been close-by the entire time. "Well my work is done, Magneto is seen as the hero and they will follow him into Hell now." With that he walked off to the meeting place to get a lift back to the base.
