Brotherhood Evolution: Lost and Found
My god, what have I done? Is Lance dead? What the hell am I thinking? Well it will all tie together, trust me on this. I spent the last few weeks pounding out the details to this, so no worries. I hope.

The Brotherhood of Bayville Boarding House
"He ain't coming back, is he?" Pietro asked as he and Blob sat in the corner as Tabitha continued to file her nails.
"Nope." Blob said simply.
"Damn, I can't believe Toad was faster than me." Pietro muttered as they heard the door unlock. Toad opened the door, dead white.
"Its about friggin time…" Pietro muttered before he realized that something was wrong.
"What's wrong?" Blob asked as he sat up.
"It's Lance…" Toad said, visibly shaking. "We got mad problems, yo." Toad said as he explained what Xavier told him over the phone. "…he's in critical condition at the X-Geeks place and they think he's comatose." Toad finished as Pietro sped off to the room, toward the mansion.
"Where are the others?" Tabitha asked as the Brotherhood ran outside.
"LET'S MOVE PEOPLE!" Mike shouted from his car as the Brotherhood piled in.
"Betsy shadow walked Wanda over there the moment we got the news." Toad said simply as Mike floored it. For the first time, the Brotherhood didn't have loud music playing on their drive to the X-Mansion.
"Jesus. What are we going to do?" Tabitha asked as she held herself.
"We find whoever did this and make them wish they didn't." Mike said simply, a grim determination over his face. "Lead us in prayer Reverend…"
"Yay, the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want, as I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear not, for the lord is my shepherd…" Blob began as the car sped towards the mansion.

"Magnus!" Gambit called as he entered the Acolytes War Room. "Its Quicksilver." Gambit said as he handed the phone to Magneto, the master of Magnetism.
"Yes Pietro?" Magneto said as he took the phone. His face didn't change as Pietro told him the news. "We're on our way, make sure he stays alive." Magneto said simply as he closed the phone. "Gambit, gather Sabertooth and Mastermind, we're going to pay a visit to Xavier. Oh, and make sure that Lifeguard is ready, we're going to need her…talents." Magneto said simply as Gambit nodded and left to take care of the situation.
********************
Xavier's
"We're is he?" Mike shouted as he broke the front doors of the institute open and the remaining members of the Brotherhood barged through.
"He's in the infirmary…" Jean said as the Brotherhood stormed through, a couple of the new mutants standing around stared as they departed.
"This is bad…" Toad said as the doors to the infirmary opened up and they saw the other members of the Brotherhood standing around outside a pair of steel doors.
"I hate this place…" Mike muttered. "Every time I'm here, it's because someone I care about is dying." Mike muttered as he walked over and wrapped Betsy in a hug.
"How is he?" Blob asked as Tabitha stared through a window at Lance's comatose form.
"He's in critical still." Pietro muttered as he hung up his cell phone. "Father is on his way to pick up Lance, he has more advanced medical facilities plus a mutant with healing powers." Pietro said as he stared at Lances form.
"Where is he?" The Brotherhood all turned to see Shadowcat being held back by Rogue and Jean. "I wanna see him!" Kitty shouted.
"No you don't sugah…" Rogue said as she held back her roommate.
"Kitty, calm down." Jean said as she freshman phased through Jean's grip.
"I need to see him!" Kitty cried in desperation.
"Back off!" Betsy said as she got between Kitty and the doors leading to Lance. "After the way you've been treating him, you're the last thing he needs." Betsy spat as she formed her Psionic knife.
"But…" Kitty began.
"Cram it. We take care of our own." Wanda said as the lights flickered. Kitty looked like she was going to have a breakdown right there as Jean and Rogue led her away.
"I'm going to talk with baldy and find out who did this." Mike muttered as he walked out, Betsy nodded to the others and Wanda followed him up to Xavier's study.
"Omega and Scarlet Witch." Xavier said as Wanda and Mike opened the doors to his study and walked in. Inside Ororo, Hank and Logan where all watching the TV, where they had the security video playing.
"Is that last nights video feed?" Mike asked.
"Yes. Do you recognize the individual?" Xavier said as Mike and Wanda watched the feed of Lance getting shot.
"Jeeze. It's the silver Samurai." Wanda pointed out.
"Who?" Logan asked as Mike began to get angry.
"He's a gang leader that we took out on a trip to Northwood." Mike said as he walked out. "And he's also a dead man."
"Logan, Storm, gather the children and make sure that the Brotherhood doesn't do anything rash.
"We have another problem Charles." Beast pointed out as four metal orbs landed on the ground. Sabertooth, Gambit, and mastermind got out of the orbs and walked toward the mansion, where Pietro let them in. Xavier and the other adults made their way to the infirmary, where they saw Sabertooth and Blob loading Avalanche into one of the metal orbs, Betsy and Mastermind using there powers to keep him stable.
"What is the meaning of this?" Xavier asked.
"The kids one of us." Sabertooth said. And while I may not like him, he is one of us and we take care of our own." Sabertooth said as the orb-containing Lance floated away. "Remy, you're to take Avalanche's place until he gets better." Sabertooth said as he and Mastermind left.
"So what we do now?" Gambit asked as the Brotherhood suited up.
"We find Silver Samurai and make him pay in Blood." Mike muttered as he released his tendricals. And with that, the Brotherhood was off, to hunt down the man that had gunned down their friend.
"Logan." Xavier said as the X-Men appeared in uniform.
"We're on it professor." Cyclops said as the X-men took off to follow the Brotherhood. One way or another, there was going to be a bloodbath that day.

Little China Town, New York City
"Where looking for the Samurai!" Mike shouted as he slammed an Asian kid into the wall with enough force to crack the wall.
"I don't know where he is!" The kid cried as Betsy red his mind, causing him to go into a seizure.
"He was here, but he's on the move again." Betsy said as the kid slumped to the ground drooling.
"Is he alive?" Gambit asked as he poked the kid with his bo-staff.
"Probably." Betsy said coldly as she walked out with the rest of the Brotherhood.
"You sure seem to know this area pretty well, mike." Tabitha said as Omega led the way through the back streets of the area.
"I came here with Wolverine in order to find the Crimson Dawn." Omega said as he stopped and closed his eyes. "GET DOWN!" Mike shouted as he pushed the others away as a gout of fire engulfed him, sending him flying into the wall.
"Omega!" Gambit shouted as he pulled out his trusty deck and readied a card.
"What the hell is going on, yo?" Toad shouted as he dodged a falling girder.
"I'm getting angry…" Wanda muttered as she began to glow with energy. RAH!" Wanda screamed, letting out a pulse that caused her surroundings to distort, and shake.
"Whoa. Probability control at its best." Betsy muttered as another gout of fire hit Wanda, knocking her back.
"Baby!" Toad shouted as he hopped over to her. "Your still sick, you shouldn't be out here." Toad said as he half carried, half dragged Wanda away from the fight.
"It would nice to know who to blow up…" Tabitha muttered as she dodged another blast of fire.
"That would be us…" The Brotherhood turned to see the Silver Samurai in silver armor, wielding a katana glowing with energy. Next to him was an Asian women dressed in green, holding a gun, a snake tattoo coiling up her arm and next, leading to the back of her next and disappearing hi her long black hair. Above them floated a man in a red and orange bodysuit with silver attachments. His hands were on fire as he snarled at the Brotherhood.
"And you are?" Mike asked as he got out of the hole in the building he created.
"We're the hand…" The woman said simply. "My name is Viper, remember it." She said as she blasted at the Brotherhood. The Brotherhood scattered around, dodging blasts as they bobbed back and forth, avoiding the blasts.
"Hey Betsy?" Toad asked as he ducked under another collapsing girder.
"Yea?" Betsy said as she shadow walked away from a blast.
"Aren't you a member of the Hand?"
"Nope. I just trained with them. And believe me, they didn't have these mook's with them when I was there." Betsy said as she ducked under a blast of fire.
"Man, why can't we just claim vengeance once, without having to fight against a super powered team." Blob muttered as he grabbed the flaming kid and sent him into the wall.
"You will not defeat Sunfire, gajinn!" The kid screamed as he shot a blast of fire at the Blob, which was dispersed by a kinetic onslaught from Gambit.
"Sorry Homme… But dis group got it own set o' protectors…" Gambit said as he knocked Sunfire out with his staff. Mean while, Betsy had snuck up behind Viper and buried her Psionic knife into the assassin's head, the two then began a mental contest of wills as Toad and Omega took on Silver Samurai.
"YOU'RE A DEAD MAN!" Omega screamed as he unleashed his tendricals at Samurai, who ducked underneath the lethal whips.
"This was not what I expected…" Samurai muttered as he dodged Acidic slime from Toad, who was pissed. "This battles is over." Samurai declared as he pushed a button on his armor. "NINJA VANISH!" Samurai screamed as he, Viper and Sunfire all disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
"Any trace of them Bets?" Mike asked as he helped Wanda up.
"No." Betsy said as she dusted herself off.
"Does it bother anyone else that Silver Samurai used the corny line from Ninja Turtles to get away?" Toad asked.
"Yes." Tabitha said irately. "Yes it does."
"So in short order people, our friend is dying and we couldn't do a damn thing about it, we couldn't even avenge him, and now there's another group of people who want us dead." Mike said disappointedly as Betsy hung on his arm.
"We have only one recourse." Blob said as the others gathered in a circle with him. "We pray." Blob said simply as the Brotherhood looked at each other and walked back to their house.
"What do we do Logan?" Kurt asked as he and the other x-Men watched the Brotherhood walk away.
"This may sound strange, but we listen to the Blob kid. We pray to what ever is holy out there that this situation doesn't get any worse." Wolverine said as the X-Men walked home as well.
"Lance, where are you man?" Pietro thought as he stared up at the sky. "You gotta hold on…"
