Brotherhood Evolution: Runaway
Well, I'm back and here we go with some sappiness to kick things off.
********************
"So bold mother f*cker, don't you limit your mind, can't you see that your pace is just falling behind, all the hate in your heart will live in your mind, so bold mother f*cker don't you limit your mind."
"I love this song." Lance said as he cranked the radio, which was playing "Liberate", by Disturbed. He was driving toward the park at a fairly fast rate. He slammed on the brakes as he pulled into a parking spot. Lance turned the jeep off and hopped out and began walking towards the small pond that was in the center of the park. "I really need to get away from the guys..." Lance thought to himself.
"Waiting, for your modern Messiah... Take away all the hatred, it darkness the light in your eye... Still awaiting night!" Lance thought, letting the music continue to play in his head as he let his thoughts wander.
"With everything that's been going on lately, I really need to start thinking what direction my life's going in right now." Lance thought as he slumped down onto one of the benches. He stared at the pond while he let his thoughts wander. He thought about when Mike first joined the Brotherhood; Betsy coming to live with them; revealing themselves at the soccer game; Betsy's transformation at the hand of the Crimson Dawn; Tabitha joining them, leaving them, and then joining up again; and even back when he tried to be an X-Geek. He remembered how good it felt to leave Mystique locked in that military building and how crummy he felt when Pietro came back as the new leader.
"Heads up!" Lance turned to see two high school kids playing Frisbee.
"Man, to be that innocent again." Lance mused. "Just a kid hanging with his friends. But no, now I have to be a solder in a war that nobody wants. All the others seem to just be going with it, but I think Reverend had the right idea..." Lance thought as he thought about what Blob had said about War.
"Everyone loses in war, even the victor. That's the only guarantee about it." Blob said simply as the Brotherhood sat around discussing what to do about Magneto's war.
"You're so right sometimes Reverend." Lance thought as he heard a rustling coming from the bushes behind him. "Okay buddy, I don't know who you are, but you picked the wrong person to screw with..." Lance said as he stormed toward the bushes and pulled them apart to reveal Jamie sitting there, crying to himself. "Jamie?" Lance asked as he stared at the ten year old.
"Leave me alone." Jaime sniffled as he hugged his backpack to himself.
"Alright kiddo." Lance said simply. "I guess you also don't want a Hotdog with the works then." Lance said as he walked toward a hot dog vendor and got one. "I don't know, this looks like it's to much for me to handle..."
"Can I have some?" Jamie asked sheepishly as he sat down next to Lance.
"Knock yourself out kid." Lance said as he gave the hotdog to Jamie who greedily ate it down.
"Thanks..." Jamie said as he fumbled with his bag.
"So you wanna tell me why you're here in the park alone at this hour?" Lance asked as he stared out across the lake. The sun was setting, bathing the park in its purple hues.
"I'm running away from the Institute." Jamie said. "All the other kids keep making fun of me because I'm so small and I'm tired of listing to all those different rules that the Professor has." Jamie said matter-of-factley.
"Okay. So where are you going to live kid?" Lance asked.
"Here in the park." Jamie said simply.
"So how will you eat?"
"I'll find away." Jamie said bravely.
"You have to be pretty brave kiddo. I mean with all the mutant hating people out there, some of them are really violent." Lance said simply.
"I can take them." Jamie said as he looked around nervously.
"Sure you could, I mean sure, they have guns and the numbers, but you're a mutant, right?"
"Yea." Jamie said as he started to look around scarred.
"Well, I gotta get going. See ya around kid. Maybe I'll stop by to visit." Lance said as he got up and walked toward his jeep. "Three, two, one..." Lance thought to himself.
"LANCE!" Jamie said as he ran over and clung to Avalanches leg. "Don't leave me alone out here..." Jamie whimpered as Lance smiled at him. Lance then tried to pry Multiple off, but Jamie was hard stuck.
"This was unexpected..." Lance said as he managed to make his way back to the bench with Jamie still clinging to his leg.
"So you want to take yo back to the institute?" Lance asked as he finally managed pry Jamie free.
"No." Jamie said defiantly. "I wanna join the Brotherhood!"
"Okay. This was really unexpected." Lance thought to himself as he rubbed his chin. "Sorry, kid. But I'm we're the bad guys." Lance said as Jamie's eyes started to tear up. "And you're to young to make a decision like that. This is a life altering decision little guy. You need to stick with Xavier. He'll take care of you and help you to gain control of your powers. Give him a couple of years, then make your decision." Lance said simply.
"But it's hard..." Jamie said simply.
"Life's a lot harder kid.' Lance said simply.
"So why haven't you come back?" Jamie said as something moved behind them. In the shadows, someone watched Lance with a determined look.
"Got you Alvers..." The figure thought as it watched Lance talk with Jamie.
"I don't belong there anymore kid. We all have our own paths in life, and mine doesn't involve the institute anymore." Lance said simply. "Jeeze, I'm starting to sound like the Blob." Lance thought to himself as Jamie though over the situation.
"If I stay at the institute for a while and don't like it anymore, can I join the Brotherhood?"
"Sure kid. But give it a few years." Lance said as he walked over to his jeep. "Need a ride?"
"Yea." Jamie said as he piled into the jeep and they drove toward the institute. "Thanks Lance."
"No prob kid." Lance said as the jeep pulled up to the institute gates.
"You know, Kitty misses you." Jamie said simply. "I saw her crying once because she misses you. She said it was because of a sad show she saw, but I read her diary."
"I miss her to kid, but don't tell her. It's better this way." Lance said as he turned the jeep off and walked Jamie up to the doors of the institute before turning to him again.
"Don't be afraid to get dirty kid. You can have a lot of fun being the bad guy at times." Lance said with his trademark smirk as the door opened up and Xavier and Ororo appeared in front of them.
"Jamie! Thank Goddess that you are safe..." Ororo said as she hugged Jamie tightly.
"Lance. Thank you for bringing him back." Xavier said simply as Ororo hushed Jamie into the mansion.
"Don't mention it Xavier. Really." Lance said as he shoved his hand in his pockets. "The kid has a world of potential. Don't let him end up like me. Otherwise I'm going to rock you." Lance said simply as he turned and walked away.
"Will do Lance. I promise." Xavier said as he wheeled himself back into the mansion. Lance watched them go in before he started to walk back to his jeep.
"I wonder what the others are up to..." Lance thought as he walked toward his jeep. Once he got there, he heard a grunt from behind him. "Look Logan, I don't want any trouble..."Lance said as he turned to face the person responsible for the grunt. Instead of Wolverine, he saw an Asian kid dressed in silver with a silver bandana on.
"Remember me Mofo?" The kid sneered as he reached into his pocket.
"Silver Samurai!" Lance shouted as the ground started to rumble. "Come back for seconds?" Lance screamed.
"No. Just to say this. SEE YOU IN HELL!" Samurai shouted as Lance began to create an earthquake. Before Lance could get any further, a loud popping noise filled the air as he felt a searing pain in his stomach, followed by another one in his shoulder.
"This was REALLY unexpected." Lance muttered as the tremors died and he held his stomach. He lifted his hands to see them coated in blood. He then fell into Darkness as Samurai ran away, laughing to himself.
"AVALANCHE! WHAT ARE YOU..." Xavier shouted as he and Logan ran outside due to the tremors. They stopped dead when the saw Lance on the ground bleeding. "My God..."
