Brotherhood Evolution: Painful Reunions
Ah, I think I have all of your attention now. So let's continue with the onslaught of emotion.
********************
The 'Hood House ™
(BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!)
"Hurgh…" Mike Nagrite groaned as he felt burning hot lead enter his body at various locations. In the past few moments, Mike discovered himself being assaulted by the one person he had come to love more than life itself. But three years ago, he saw her die. The pain radiating from his wounds brought him out of his daze as he fell backwards into the ruble that consisted on one of the walls of the Brotherhood house. His higher thinking processes switched off. He forced himself to go into his survival instincts. Years of bushido training and street fights gave him an uncanny ability to move with the flow of a fight, not even thinking about what to do next, it just happened. Already his wounds were closing as he back flipped off the ground and ducked behind the couch as another rain of bullets graced the Brotherhood house.
"They told me this would be a challenge Mikey!" Sarah Ramos called out as she loaded another clip into the gun. "But I didn't think it would be this much fun. I've been wondering something about you Mikey. Why did you abandon me Mikey?" Sarah catcalled out.
"Don't listen Mike. She isn't real." Omega thought to himself. "Sarah's dead. You saw her die. You saw her body at the funeral…" Mike thought as the last of his wounds healed up.
"I was killed because of you!" Sarah called out as she stepped through the ruble. "But I'm back to repay the favor. Its time to pay the piper lover!"
"Now!" Mike thought as he dove out of his hiding spot. Adrenaline began to pump into his blood stream. Doing so caused his muscle fibers to increase in density, making them stronger than steel. Hollow bones made him lighter than he appeared, thus his super strength also graced him with lightning reflexes, which he now used to jump over his assailant and grab her gun. With a single thought, small holes in Mike's arms, just under the elbow on the inside, opened up. Thin skin sacs emerged and filled with a calcium mixture, filling them up. Small nerve cells inside allowed Mike to control his tendricals as though they were his arms or legs. With one quick motion he shattered the weapon in his hands and tied Sarah up in his tendricals. He held her in the air as he stared at he in anger. But slowly his anger subsided as he stared at her. "How?" Mike asked as he lowered her and let her go.
"I was given a second chance Mikey." Sarah said as she stared hard at him. "But in order for me to live, you have to die." Sara said as she pushed a button on her wrist.
"AHHHHHH!!!" Mike screamed as his shoulder and stomach exploded outward.
"Those bullets contained Mini explosives." Sarah said as she took out an empty vial and held it next to Mike's open wound. Once the vial was filled with his blood Sarah sealed it off. "If it's any consolation. It was nice to see you again Mikey." Sarah said with a smile. "But I don't want to die again." Sarah said as she held a gun next to Omega's Head. "Just for old times, I'll make it quick. I promise…" Sarah said, as Mike could only look at her in pain an agony as blood spurted from his wounds.

"MICHAEL!" Betsy screamed as she woke up in pain. She was sitting on the floor of an abandoned Warehouse. She took a quick look outside to see the Brotherhood and 'Hand' fighting. With a mere thought, Betsy turned her body into living shadow and melted into the floor's shadow.
"YEOW!" Lance screamed as his but caught on fire due to one of Sunfire's solar blasts. "Get back here you little…" Lance muttered as he fired a seismic blast at Sunfire while trying to put out his flaming ass.
"I am gonna F*** you up!" Wanda shouted as she hexed Lady Deathstrike into the wall.
"That's my girl!" Toad called out.
"You're next!" Wanda shouted at him.
"People please! We are under attack here!" Blob shouted. "Can we try to be professional for once?"
"Gripe, gripe, gripe." Pietro stated.

"It'll be quick. I promise…" Sarah said as Mike stared at her.
"GET AWAY FROM HIM!" Betsy screamed as he tackled Sarah to the ground.
"Who the hell are you?" Sarah shouted as she kicked Betsy in the rips and flipped away.
"Your worst nightmare." Betsy said as she formed her Psionic knife and dove towards the blond girl.
"Nice try slut." Sarah said as she sidestepped and kicked Betsy in the spine. "But I got enhanced reflexes, similar to Mikey there." Sarah said as Mike tried to get up. "Stay down lover." Sarah said as she pushed another button and Mike's chest exploded outward. "Hmmm. That was the last of the explosive implants. Bummer."
"AGH!" Mike choked on his own blood as his body began pumping out more adrenaline, trying to heal itself faster. Slowly his chest began to knit back together.
"Stop it!" Betsy screamed as she tried to attack her boyfriend's tormentor.
"Keep trying little girl." Sarah said as she butted Betsy in the ribs with her elbow. "I'm beginning to work up a sweat. 'Course Mikey could always make me sweat…""
"Betsy…" Mike said weakly as he tried to get up, his wounds keeping him down. "Don't… You don't… know… her…" Mike struggled as he tried to get up. Meanwhile Sarah had kicked Betsy hard in the back of her knee and drove her fist into the Asian beauty's face. Betsy reeled back as blood poured out of her nose.
"Die Bitch!" Sarah screamed as she delivered a roundhouse kick to Betsy's abdomen.
"Ugh." Betsy staggered backwards as Sarah concentrated. Purple energy radiated from Sarah's hand as her eyes turned pitch black. "Heightened reflexes aren't my only gift." Sarah said with a sinister smile, as her voice grew deeper, like shifting gravel. "Guess what lover, I'm a mutant too."
"What… the hell..." Mike said as he staggered up. Winds battered him and the Brotherhood house as a small rift opened in the floor under Betsy. "No! Betsy!"
"I can create portals to wherever I want. Now why don't you be a nice little girl and go to hell?" Sarah said as she opened up a dimensional portal in the Brotherhood house.
"AHHHHHH!!!"" Betsy screamed as she was sucked into the vortex. She fell into the swirling blackness screaming. She then felt something wrap around her waist and she stopped falling. She looked up to see Omega with a tendrical around her. Sweat and blood stained his face as he held on, trying to keep her from being sucked in.
~ You aren't getting away from me that easily ~ Mike projected to her. With a quick motion and strain on his arms, Mike swung Betsy out of the hole and back into the Brotherhood house, just as the dimensional rift sealed.
"I wish I was that lucky." Betsy smirked as she turned her attention back to Sarah.
"This is proving harder than I thought." Sarah muttered, her voice turning back to normal. "Why don't you die?" Sarah shouted at Omega.
"You know why Sarah." Mike said as he staggered up. "You know I love life too God damn much to give it up without a fight."
"So do I." Sarah said as her voice softened.
"Sarah, what happened to you? I saw you get killed." Mike said as he approached her slowly, the last of his wounds healing.
"I was killed. Because of you." Sarah hissed. "I died because of you!" Sarah shouted. "And now I was given a second chance. For what you did to me, I want you dead. I don't have what I need to put you down for good. But I got what I need to ensure that I can live. I'll be back lover. You can count on it." Sarah said as she held up the vial of Omega's blood, and with a laugh, opened another portal and jumped through, escaping from Omega and Psylocke.
"I got some explaining to do, don't I?" Mike said as Betsy staggered over to him, wiping the blood from her nose.
"Oh yea.' Betsy said simply. "But right now, the others probably need our help."
"Why?" Mike asked.
"I kinda left them alone to fight the hand when I sense that you were in danger." Betsy said bashfully.
"Wonderful." Mike muttered as he and Betsy melted into the shadows.
********************
Three days later
"I can't believe we lost 'The Hand" again!" Lance cried as he punched the wall.
"Hey!" Pietro shouted at him. "I just repaired that wall!"
"That whole "Ninja Vanish" line is really starting to tick me off." Tabitha muttered to herself.
"What I can't believe is that Mike's old girlfriend is alive, or the fact that he had an old girlfriend, and then the fact that she died, and now she's back to try and kill him. And then there's the fact that we don't know how or why. Or even who's behind it." Toad said simply.
"Ow. My head…" Pietro moaned as he tried to comprehend what Toad just said.
"I can't explain it. All I know is that Sarah's alive somehow. And she hates me." Mike said sullenly.
"Maybe that's the point." Blob said simply. "Maybe whoever brought her back to life has something against you, or needed your blood for something. And the best way to take you off guard was to send in her."
"Makes sense." Betsy said as she sat in Omega's lap.
"Yea. She's just one more person who wants us dead." Tabitha muttered as Betsy got up and stretched out. "I think we set a new record."
"Really. I thought Kelly held that record?" Toad asked.
"Na. Most of the football team doesn't mind him anymore." Wanda said simply.
"Something tells me things are going to get very, very interesting." Lance said simply to the others, who nodded in agreement.
"What the hell is going on?" Mike thought to himself as he got up and walked to the window. "What happened to you Sarah?"

"I got what you wanted Doc." Sara said as she tossed the vial of Omega's blood to the aging doctor.
"Excellent work Sarah. Dr. Essex was right when we brought you back to life. You have proven to be useful."
"So does this mean I get to hang around?" Sarah asked as she arched an eyebrow.
"Of course my dear. Using you to run errands for us will greatly increase the time we can spend on our research. And thus we will get more done so much faster."
"So long as I an kill Mikey, I'll do whatever you want." Sarah said as she turned to walk away.
"I know you will. And our research will become all the more interesting because of it." Dr. Essex said as he emerged from the shadows. "Right Jeremiah?"
"It certainly does. And this vial of my son's blood helps out so much…" Dr. Jeremiah Nagrite said before he walked back into his laboratory with Dr. Essex to continue their research.
"Humph." Sarah snorted as she walked away.

Next Time on Brotherhood Evolution: My Pet Mutant. Just how has Boris, the Brotherhood Rat, been able to survive the Phalanx, bomb blasts and bullets? The answer is something you would not expect.

Well, I hope I left you all with a little teaser on Omega's past. And trust me, there is so much more to come. But for now, lets go back to basics. See you all next time.
