Brotherhood Evolution: Psylocked
Well Another chapter is here. Hope you enjoy it.
Disclaimer: I own only the idea behind this saga as well as the character Mike Nagrite.
P.S. Yes, Mike is the same guy from my Age of Apocalypse saga. I just thought it was time to bring him mainstream.

Bayville Airport
"So this is Bayville." Betsy Braddock said as she stepped outside of the Airport. Her long purple hair blew behind her in the wind as she looked around. The Asian beauty was wearing a pair of sequined bell-bottoms, and a deep purple belly shirt. Her navel and ears were pierced. She put her handbag down as she signaled a cab. The cab driver got out and put her handbag in the trunk as Betsy got into the back seat.
Where to Ma'am?" The cabbie asked as he got into the driver's seat.
"The Bayville mall, my good man. I have some shopping to do." Betsy said with a smile.
"Um, unfortunately the mall is being rebuilt after a hurricane." The driver said simply.
"A hurricane? Here in New York?" Betsy asked skeptically, her British accent visibly showing.
"Yes Ma'am." The driver responded.
"O.k. Then take me to where every kid's hang out around here." Betsy said as she slumped in the backseat.
"Alright, off to the fair we go." The Driver said as he took off.
"This promises to be an interesting trip." Betsy thought as she stared out the window. "A hurricane in Bayville. Humph."
********************
The Brotherhood of Bayville Boarding House
"TOAD!!!" Lance screamed as he ran down the stairs covered in slime. "WHERE ARE YOU, YOU LITTLE SLIMEBALL!!" Lance shouted as the house began to shake.
"Whoa. Chill rock man." Mike said as he walked into the room and saw his slime covered leader. "Um, I take it you want Toad because of the slime?" Mike asked, trying not to laugh.
"Laugh it up. But once I find the slime ball, HE'S DEAD!" Lance shouted as he stormed up to his room to change.
"Is he gone?" Toad said as he emerged from the closet.
"Yea. But I would stay out of his way for awhile." Mike said as he walked into the living room, where Fred and Pietro were watching TV. "Anything good on?" Mike asked as he slumped down next to Blob. Toad hopped in and crouched next to Pietro.
"Nope." Fred said as he flipped through the channels.
"Let me see the remote." Pietro said as he reached for it. Fred slapped his hand away and gave an animal growl of defense. Pietro cowered into the back of his chair. Toad just shook his head.
"Hey, there's a fair in town, yo!' Toad crowed as a commercial for the Bayville fair came up. "Heh. Maybe we should go and show them how to really party."
"I think Toady here may have a good idea for once." Pietro said, regrowing his backbone.
"It was Toad's idea to recruit me." Mike said, getting a twisted smile. "So are you saying that was a bad idea?"
"Um…no." Pietro said, fear evident in his voice.
"Good boy." Mike said, a smile on his face as he arched his pierced eyebrow. "Now let's go fair crashing!" Mike said as he punched his hand.
"I'll go grab Lance." Fred said as he got up.
"Um, I think we should leave Lance out of this one." Mike said. "He currently wants Toad here in the graveyard. So I think it's only fair that we give him the chance to calm down."
"Eh, he'd probably just bring down the party anyway." Pietro said as he sped outside. The others walked outside and got into Mike's Car. A '79 El Camino. "Mikey, have I told you who much I love this car." Pietro said as he felt the leather seats.
"Yes. Many times over. But you're still not driving this until I'm dead and decaying." Mike said as he hopped into the driver's seat. Toad took the passengers side seat, with Blob in the backseat. Pietro just shrugged and sped of to the fair. Mike flipped on the radio and the Brotherhood sped off to the fair. Lance came outside and stared at the departing car.
"Yes! Maybe now I can have some peace and quiet." Lance muttered as he walked back into the house. He flopped down on the sofa and flipped on the TV.
"Next on 'Maury'; Necrophiliac Siamese Twins and the bodies that they love."
"Hoo-yea!" Lance crowd as he ran and grabbed some popcorn.
********************
Xavier's Institute for the Gifted Young
"Vas, Check it out!" There's a fair in town!" Kurt cried as he teleported into the living room and flipped the channel to the same station the Brotherhood was watching.
"Cool. Maybe we should give it a look." Evan said as he got up and stretched.
"I'll go ask the Professor." Kitty said as she ran through the walls.
"Well what do you think?" Kurt asked Scott.
"I don't know…" Scott said as he pondered the possibilities.
"Jean's there with Duncan." Kurt said with a smile.
"Let's go." Scott said as he ran to his car and started it up. Kurt teleported himself and Evan into Scott's car. Kitty phased in a little later.
"The Professor said that it was ok, but Rogue doesn't want to come." Kitty said as she fastened her seatbelt.
"Big surprise there." Evan said as he buckled up. And with that the X-Men took off and toward the fair grounds.
"Are they gone?" Logan asked as he, Rogue, and Xavier peeked out of the door.
"Yes." Xavier said as he breathed a sigh of relief.
"To the tube!" Rogue shouted as she, Logan, and Xavier entered the parlor and flipped on the TV.
"Next on 'Maury'; Necrophiliac Siamese Twins and the bodies that they love."
"Hoo-yea!" Logan crowd as he ran and grabbed some popcorn.
"This is the life." Xavier said as he slumped in his wheelchair.
********************
The Bayville County Fair
"Hey Walter. Check out the hottie." Duncan said as he pointed to Betsy as she browsed some of the merchandise.
"Oh yea. I'm going in." Walter said as he approached Betsy. "Hey there beautiful." Walter said as he walked up next to Betsy, getting in uncomfortably close.
"Do I know you?" Betsy asked as she backed away.
"Hey, you will babe." Walter said as he grabbed her arm. "Why don't I show you around?"
"I can find my own way, thank you." Betsy said, as she pulled free and backed away.
"Hey, I'm just trying to be friendly." Walter said as he got a twisted smile.
"I'm warning you." Betsy said as she backed away. He hand began to glow purple, but nobody noticed it.
"Oh, I'm so scared." Walter said, as he merely got closer as he reached for her again. However his arm was grabbed tightly and then twisted around his back.
"I believe the lady said she wanted to be left alone." Mike hissed into Walters ear as he applied more pressure to Walter's arm. "So back off." Mike spat as he twisted Walter around and tossed him into his friends.
"Thanks." Betsy said as she walked up to Mike.
"No problem. Those guys can…whoa." Mike said as he turned around and saw the purple haired Bombshell.
"What?" Betsy asked as she raised an eyebrow.
"Nothing. Nothing. Those guys can be real jerks." Mike said as he regained his senses. "I'm Mike." He said as he held out his hand.
"I'm Betsy. Betsy Braddock." Betsy said as she shook his hand.
"I take it your new in town?" Mike asked as he walked with her around the fair.
"Yea. I just got here today."
"Really? I just got here a few weeks ago myself." Mike said as he watched Walter take of with Duncan.
"Is that so?" Betsy asked, getting intrigued. "So what is there to do around here?"
"Not much." Mike said as he looked at her. "Me and my friends just hang around and make our own fun. You know, just causing trouble, doing the whole 'rebellious' thing. Stuff like that."
"Sound's like this place can be pretty dull."
"You'd be surprised." Mike said. "So, um, why are you here in Bayville exactly?" Mike asked, getting to the point.
"That's a little direct, don't you think." Betsy asked as she looked up and smiled at Mike.
"Yea. It is. I'm…sorry." Mike said sheepishly.
"Don't be. I like that in a man." Betsy said seductively as she got a little closer to him. "I'm here in Bayville, trying to…find a place to fit in I guess."
"HEY MIKE!!!" They heard a shout.
"Not now…" Mike thought as they turned around and saw Toad and the Brotherhood approaching them.
"Wazzap Mikey. Who's your friend?" Toad said as he hopped over to the two.
(Sigh) "Todd, this is Betsy. Betsy, Todd." Mike said as he introduced the two. "And that's Pietro and Freddy." Mike added as Fred and Pietro caught up to the three of them.
"Heeellllloooo!!!" Pietro crowed as he took Betsy's hand. I'm Pietro Maximoff." Pietro said as he kissed her hand. "The good looking one."
"You must also be the egotistical one of the group." Betsy said as the Brotherhood laughed as Pietro's face sunk.
"Hey Mike, care to walk a girl to her cab?" Betsy said as she approached Mike.
"Sure." Mike said as he walked away with her. "I'll catch you guys later." Mike called out as he took off with Betsy.
"Man. Some guy's have all the luck." Toad said as he turned around to face the other members of the 'hood. "So what do we do now, yo?"
"I just found our fun." Pietro said as he pointed at the X-Men who were enjoying themselves. "Gentlemen." Pietro said as Fred and Toad gathered around him. "Here's the plan…"
********************
Outside, in the parking lot
"Thanks again for helping me with that goon." Betsy said as she walked close with Mike.
"No problem, most of the football players are nothing but idiot's any… LOOK OUT!!!" Mike suddenly shouted as he pushed Betsy out of the way of a speeding car that was heading right for them. The car slammed into Mike, sending him a good twenty feet into the air.
"OHMYGOD!!!" Betsy shouted as she saw Mike land with a bone-crunching thud. Mike lay motionless as the car swerved around and readied for another attack. To Betsy's amazement Mike then got up and looked at her.
"Are you ok?" Mike asked as the large gash on his forehead knitted together, healing within moments right in front of her. He then turned and faced the car, which was now speeding again toward him. "Not this time." Mike muttered as he braced for the impact. The car sped toward him and Mike held his hands out, catching the car and stopping it in its tracks. Mike's hands made imprints as the car burned its tires, trying to run him over. "My turn." Mike growled as he dug his fingers into the hood of the car and grunted as he picked it up. The driver screamed as Mike held the car high over his head. "Have a nice trip!" Mike shouted as he hurled the car into a wall. The driver jumped out just before the car exploded from the impact.
"You're a freak!!!" Walter shouted as he got up and stared at Mike. "And I'm going to tell the whole world about it." Walter shouted as he turned to run away.
"Oh no you don't." Betsy said as she appeared out of nowhere and she kicked him hard in the gut. She then delivered an open palm punch to his back, forcing him onto his knees. "Not if I can help it." Betsy said as her right hand glowed with purple energy. Mike watched in amazement as a dagger-like blade made of purple energy formed out of Betsy's knuckles. She then plunged that blade into Walter's head and held it there as Walter began to have a seizure. Betsy then pulled the energy blade out and Walter collapsed on the ground, unconscious.
"I take it you're a mutant." Mike said as he walked over to Betsy.
"So are you." Betsy said as she looked up at him.
"What did you do to him?" Mike asked as he looked down at the unconscious Walter.
"I used my powers to erase his memories." Betsy said as she turned and faced him. "I'm surprised that you're a mutant. I could tell your friends were, but not you?"
"How's that?" Mike asked, getting intrigued by the purple haired Asian girl in front of him.
"I'm a telepath." Betsy confessed. "This blade is the full sum of my telepathic abilities." Betsy continued, creating the blade again to show to Mike. "With it I can actually enter a person's mind and see what's going on in there. I can also alter memories or knock them out." Betsy said proudly. "But for some reason I couldn't read your mind. And I don't know why." Betsy said.
"It's because of my mutant powers." Mike answered. "I have accelerated healing abilities, thus it's hard for telepaths to read my mind." Mike answered. I also have a super strength and Olympic level agility and speed." Mike said as he explained his powers. "I have all of these abilities because I can control the flow of Calcium in my body. Because of that, my muscle structure is extremely durable, which give me my strength and speed. My bones are also hollow, which creates the agility. The healing factor is also a by-product of my powers. I also have these." Mike said as he unleashed his tendricals from his forearms. (Similar to Omega Red) "These are made of pure calcium, and are the full extent of my powers." Mike explained. "I have full control over them, just like they were my arms. But I don't use them a lot, if at all."
"Why." Betsy asked, intrigued by the young mutant in front of her.
"Because the more I use them, the more tired I become. They require large amounts of energy to control, thus I don't use them often." Mike explained. "Those are my powers Bets." Mike said as he faced Asian girl in front of him.
"Nice to know there's a group of Mutants in Bayville." Betsy said as she looked away.
"You said you were looking for a place to belong, right?" Mike asked as he walked up to her.
"Yea. So?" Betsy asked facing him again.
"Well I think I may know of a place." Mike said as he explained about the Brotherhood and X-Men.
"Sounds like you guys are my kind of people." Betsy said, showing her British accent. "I'm with you." Betsy said sternly as an explosion suddenly rocked the Fair. Pietro came speeding out and saw the two of them. He ran over to Mike in a hurry.
"HeyMike! Timetogo!" Pietro shouted as Toad and Blob ran out after him.
"You ran into the X-Geeks, didn't you?" Mike asked as he saw the fair on fire.
"Yea." Toad said as he hopped over. "Time to vamoose, yo!!!"
"Right, Betsy's coming with us." Mike said as he explained about Betsy as they ran to his car. Pietro sped away as Betsy and Toad hopped into the front and Blob climbed into the back. The car sped away as the fair burned.
"I take it this happens often?" Betsy said as she watched the flaming fair grounds.
"Sister, you don't know the half of it." Toad said simply.
"Welcome to the Brotherhood, Betsy." Fred said as he munched on stole cotton candy.
"Thanks." Betsy said with a smile. She had come to Bayville to have some fun, but instead she had found a home. "And maybe more." Betsy Braddock thought as she looked at Mike, who was laughing as Blob and Toad told them about what they had done to the X-Men.
"So what are you going to call yourself, Bets?" Toad asked. " I mean, you have to have a codename."
"You can call me Psylocke." Betsy said simply.
