Brotherhood Evolution: Aliens. Part VI, Now what?

Here we are, the end of the Aliens saga. But more importantly, Brotherhood Evolution has mad it to fifty chapters. YAY! (Scattered applause) I want to thank all those who made it so popular and helped to keep it going. A big thanks you to you all. And I've recently gotten some pretty good suggestions, which I am now going to implement in future chapters, so thanks for those.

The 'Hood House ™

"How's his back?" Lance asked as he and Xorn stood in the living room. Omega was lying on his stomach on the table, sweat beading on his forehead. His spine was red and swollen.

"It's a compound fracture with four of his vertebrae completely destroyed." Xorn said as he over looked Omega. "The bone fractures have cause massive tissue damage and are splintered. By all rights, he should be dead right now."

"Christ." Lance muttered as he spat into the trashcan.

"His healing abilities are really remarkable, they're already repairing the damage, and growing new spinal tissue, but it's a very slow process."

"What's the verdict then?" Lance asked.

"He's got to stay bed ridden for at least a month, while his body heals and repairs itself." Xorn said as he got up. "He's lucky to be alive."

"You know, I'm right here." Mike muttered from the table.

"We know." Lance smirked. "I gotta go break the news to the others." Lance said as he turned to leave. Xorn walked with him into the hallway, and stopped him.

"Lance, There's something else." Xorn said seriously.

"What?" Lance asked, getting worried.

"I didn't want to tell you this in front of Omega, but even if his spine heals fully, there's a chance that he'll never walk again."

"WHAT!" Mike shouted from the other room.

"He has heightened hearing, doesn't he?" Xorn asked as he slapped his face.

"No, you just left the door open." Lance pointed out.

"Damn." Xorn muttered as he walked back in to see Mike getting off the table and stumbling toward him.

"What do you mean I won't be able to walk?" Mike asked through exertion. A she approached Xorn, his stride became more even, less erratic.

"Actually, that was a ploy in order to get your adrenaline levels running high. You see your powers get more powerful as your adrenaline rises. In order for you to heal faster, I had to get you going." Xorn stated as Mike straiten himself out and cracked his back.

"AH. That's better." Mike muttered as he moved from foot to foot. "Guess you were right." Mike said after he did a back flip. "I seem to be back in action."

"Good. Thanks Xorn." Lance said as he slapped the helmet-clad mutant on the back.

"Anytime Lance." Xorn said as he walked outside and hopped into a metal orb that waited for him. "I'll let Magnus know that everything is all right here."

"Um, you may want to leave out the part about the three Alien races and intergalactic war thing." Mike added.

"I plan to. But I will let Magnus know that both of your powers have begun their Evolution." Xorn said simply as the orb took off.

"So now what?" Lance asked as he and Mike opened the door. Mike was then tackled to the ground by Betsy, who then planted a huge kiss on his lips.

"Gotcha!" Betsy shouted in joy as she held Mike tight.

"You can help pry my girlfriend off of me…" Mike said simply as Betsy began to kiss his neck savagely.

"Sorry, you're on your own." Lance snickered as he walked inside.

"Great." Mike said as he suddenly melted into the shadows with Betsy. "On the other hand…"

"I take it Mike will be fine." Pietro asked as Lance walked into the kitchen.

"Well I think he's going to have a case of the weak knees relatively soon." Lance said with a smile as Blob and Toad slapped hands.

"Score." Blob said to Toad.

"Men." Tabitha muttered to Wanda.

"Agreed." Wanda said as she filed her nails into little claws.

********************

Xavier's

"Hey Chuck have you seen this… OH MY GOD!!!" Logan shouted as he walked in Xavier's study to see Lilandra seated in Xavier's lap, lipstick stain all over his baldhead and face.

"LOGAN?" They both shouted at once.

"Logan what's wrong?" Beast asked as he ran in with Storm.

"Charles?" Storm asked as she saw the two. " And Lilandra?"

"Oh my Stars and Gutters…" Beast muttered as he rubbed his eyes. "Nope. I'm, not hallucinating."

"GET OUT!" Xavier shouted at his instructors. They all ran out of his study and slammed the door behind them.

"Did we just see him…" Logan began.

"Yes. Yes we did." Strom said simply.

"The Captain Kirk syndrome is real." Beast said in astonishment.

"I need a drink." Strom said.

"So do I." Logan added.

"You always need a drink." Beast said as the three took off to one of the local bars.

TOAD!" Wanda screamed at him as he backed away slowly.

"Now what did I do cuttle bumpkins? Toad gulped.

"Nothing. I just wanted to say you really impressed me during that whole Alien fiasco." Wanda said simply as she walked away.

"I impressed Wanda…" Toad said simply. "YAHOO!" Toad screamed as he began to bounce around in joy.

"That was cruel." Tabitha said as Wanda walked by.

"I know." Wanda smiled as Toad jumped up and banged his head against the ceiling.

"Ow…" Toad muttered before he passed out with a huge smile on his face.

********************

Xavier's

"Hey Professor, could you like…" Kitty began as she phased into his study.

"AHHHHHHHH!!! GET OUT DAMN IT!!!" Came the scream as Kitty ran out of Xavier's study, a look of horror on her face.

"I did not see that." Kitty explained to her self as she walked down the hall. "I did not see that…"

"Can't we get some privacy?" Lilandra's voice asked.

"I wish. Maybe I should ask Scott and Jean where they go to do this." Xavier answered her.

********************

Back at the 'Hood House ™

"This has been a weird couple of days…" Pietro said as Lance stood outside in the backyard.

"You're telling me. "PULL!" Lance shouted as Blob threw a Disc in the air. Lance focused as he held his hand out and released a pulse of seismic energy at the disc, shattering it.

"Nice." Pietro muttered. "So your powers are evolving."

"Yea." Lance said simply. "By the by, what did you do with those pictures of Jean and Strom?" Lance asked as Pietro smiled.

"I sold them to Scooter and Logan." Pietro said. "And they paid a hefty price indeed."

"Nice." Lance said with a smile.

"So, how do you feel about your newfound abilities?" Pietro asked, changing the subject back.

"Good. They tire me out though." Lance answered as he wiped the sweat away and focused, gathering more energy from the ground. "These energy blasts are defiantly going to help out in the future though..." Lance said with a smile. "You ready Freddy?" Lance asked.

"Which one? Madonna or Janet Jackson?" Blob asked as he held up two CD's.

"Which Madonna?" Lance asked.

"Ray of Light." Blob answered.

"That's good." Lance nodded as Blob chucked it into the air, and Lance blew it to pieces.

"Whose CD's are these?" Pietro asked as he picked up a Ricky Martin CD out of the case they had.

"Kitty's. She left them in my jeep after one of our dates." Lance said with a smile. "She never came to pick'em up after the break up."

"This is evil." Blob said with a smile as he took the Ricky Martin CD from Pietro.

"Yea. I know." Lance snickered. "PULL!"

********************

Inside

"She LIKES me!" Toad shouted as he danced around, holding an imaginary Wanda.

"This is sad…" Wanda stated as she and Tabitha watched from the stairs.

"Told you not to get his hopes up." Tabitha said as she popped her gum. Boris, the Brotherhood Rat sat on her shoulder watching Toad with a confused look.

"I can't win." Wanda muttered as she began to bang her head on the wall.

"Welcome to my world." Tabitha said with a smile.

********************

Xavier's

"Good bye Charles." Lilandra said as she suited up.

"Will I see you again?" Xavier asked as he wheeled himself over to her.

"I've got a war to fight, but I'll drop by every now and then. Good bye my love…" Lilandra said as she gave him a kiss before she pushed a button on her exoskeleton suit and teleported away.

"Good bye Lilandra." Xavier said with a sad smile.

"Hey Chuck." Logan said as he walked in with the other adults. "Brew?" Logan asked as he held the can out towards Xavier. "You could use one."

"Yea. What the?" Xavier said as he downed the beer. "After erasing Kelly and the football teams mind, I am pretty drained."

"So what did you tell'em this time?" Logan said.

"I told them that a gas vein exploded."

"Makes sense, and their cloths?"

"Burned off." Xavier said as he downed another can. "Life is so cruel."

"Yea. But at least we have liquor." Beast said with a smile as the adults began to kill their brain cells.

On the roof of the 'Hood House ™

"Your okay?" Betsy asked as she sat next to Mike, hanging on his arm.

"Xorn gave me a clean bill of health, but told me to take it easy for awhile. My powers are starting to evolve like Lance's are."

"Based on what I just saw in the bedroom, you really don't listen to advice. Do you?" Betsy smiled as Mike put his arm over her shoulder.

"How long have you known me Bets?" Mike said with a smile as she put her head on his shoulder.

"I thought I had lost you…" Betsy said simply as the two watched the sun begin its descent.

"I know. I could feel your fear as you were handing Harvest his ass." Mike said.

"After everything we've been through, you'd think we'd be used to seeing each other in life or death situations…"

"But we're not. We care about each other too damn much to bear seeing it and not doing anything to help. I remember when I went with Logan to get the Crimson Dawn for you. The fear I felt. I was so scared that I would never see you again." Mike said as he held Betsy tighter.

"I know. Even though I was in that Coma, I felt that you were fighting for me."

"I always will Bets. You and the others. This is my family, and you're my girl. I won't let anything take that away from us. Ever."

"I know." Betsy said as she took a deep cleansing breath as the sun began to disappear over the horizon. "You know, we never get many of these tender moments to ourselves."

"I've noticed that." Mike said with a smile. "I love ya Elizabeth. Even though I don't say it often enough, I really do."

"Same here Mike." Betsy said as they two watched the sunset. "Same here…"

********************

Below…

"Ah, sa, lemure…" Pietro said as he, Tabitha, Lance and Blob were all wearing red and white striped shirts and gathered around a romantic dinner setting. Pietro was smoking a cigarette while Blob stoked his French style mustache. They were all wearing berets as they watched Omega and Psylocke.

"Love, it is like a fine wine, no?" Lance said in a French accent.

"It is like passion for a beautiful woman." Pietro stated in a fiery French way as he snubbed his cigarette.

"Pietro that is what love is." Blob stated.

"Oh yea." Pietro muttered as Toad and Wanda came outside.

"See honeybunch, the sunset is romantic." Toad said as he led Wanda outside.

"I'll give you that, but nothing else." Wanda stated as she walked back inside.

"Keep it up little guy, you'll get her eventually." Blob said encouragingly, but then turned away and shook his head at Tabitha, who nodded in agreement.

"The petite, she is a fiery one. You must match that fiery passion my young tadpole." Lance said in his corny accent. "No go, and win her affections." Lance said as he pushed Toad back inside.

"He a goner." Tabitha said as Toad hopped inside.

"Oh yea." Lance said as they all took off their berets and put them over their hearts and hummed a funeral dirge.
