Brotherhood Evolution: Through Hell-fire, Part IV: We have a Plan?
Well, well, well. Here's something that I was looking forward to writing, X-Factor and X-men working together… MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
********************
Xavier's
(Ding-dong)
"Who the flammin' hell?" Logan asked as he walked to the door and opened it. "Val." Logan said dryly as he recognized Dr. Valerie Cooper.
"Logan." Valerie said dryly. "How have you been?"
"I'm a glorified Babysitter. You?"
"Likewise." Valerie said as she walked into the mansion. "I believe my team is here?" Valerie asked as Logan led her down the hall.
"PIETRO! YOU'RE A DEAD MAN!" Jeans' voice shouted throughout the mansion.
"Yep." Logan said simply as he cracked open a beer.
"I thought you quit drinking?' Valerie asked as she arched an eyebrow in curiosity.
"Live with the Brotherhood a few more months, you'll see why I went back to the sauce." Logan said simply.
"Doubtful." Valerie said simply. "X-FACTOR! FRONT AND CENTER!" Valerie then screamed. Within a few moments all of X-Factor stood at attention in front of Dr. Cooper.
"Wha…" Logan said as he almost spilled his drink.
"Report!" Valerie demanded.
"The Hellfire Club has been confirmed as a possible terrorist threat. They are currently seeking to obtain the mystical gems of Cyttorak, in which they hope to augment their own mutant powers. There is currently seven members conformed as mutants." Forge said as he stepped forward.
"There's also another problem." Lance said as he stepped forward.
"Report Avalanche… Is that lipstick?" Valerie asked as she pointed to Lance's neck.
"Yes." Lance said simply as Mike snickered. "An unexpected mutant has entered the area and has integrated himself in the mission. His name is Jonothan Starsmore, and we believe him to be a former member of the Hellfire Club. His powers have already been augmented by the Gems of Cyttorak. He has demonstrated powerful Psychokinetic energy blasts and telepathic prowess." Lance stated. "He's a rogue and we can't get a lock on his current location."
"Any thing else?' Valerie stated.
"Everything else was in the report I sent you." Forge said simply.
"Good work guys." Valerie said simply as the Brotherhood went lax.
"How?" Logan said simply.
"We're the Government Logan. We can anything." Valerie said cockily as she walked away. "I have to speak with Mr. Xavier…"
"You two know each other?" Lance asked as he walked over to Wolverine.
"Long time ago." Logan said as X, Pietro and Blob started scheming with Mike and Wanda. "And what's with the lipstick?" Logan asked as he raised an eye.
"Um… nothinggottagobye!' Lance shouted as he bolted down the hallway.
"Wait. I know that scent…HALFPINT!" Logan shouted as he dropped his drink. "ALVERS! I'LL KILL YOU!" Logan shouted ash ran down the hallway after Lance.
"Petey, you own me a coke." Mike said with a smile. "Logan caught on."
"Man and here I though the old man was slowing down." Pietro said simply.
"My dad?" X said skeptically. "Yea right."
********************
Xavier's study
"So we're in agreement." Xavier said as he faced Valerie. "The Gems of Cyatorak must be protected."
"Yes. I think it would be wised if our teams guarded the Gems, to keep local authorities out of the situation."
"Agreed." Xavier said. " There are two entrances to the museum."
"That's assuming that Chamber or the Hell-fire Club use the entrances and don't blow a hole in the wall."
"Point." Xavier said. "So should we let them know?"
"My team already knew this was a possibility and have prepared for it." Valerie said simply.
"Dr. Cooper, why are you doing this?" Xavier asked Valerie.
"To protect our nation…" Valerie began before Xavier interrupted her.
"No. Why did the government take the Brotherhood and Forge?" Xavier asked.
"They joined of their own free will. Face it Charles, the world hates them. These kids want to prove themselves to the world, and I gave them the chance. So far, they've proven themselves quite well."
"That's not the point Valerie. These children have become solders to you."
"Like your X-Men aren't your solders?" Valerie responded. "Charles, we both want the same thing. Peace. I however know that violence is needed to obtain that peace, and then to keep it safe. The Brotherhood are perfect for that. They have the skill and the power, but no one bothered to help them reach there full potential."
"You've turned them into trained mercenaries." Xavier pleaded.
"They have a home and a purpose Xavier. For once, they all believe in what they're doing. That's more than anyone else gave them. And for that, they've fought like demons for this country."
"Yes." Xavier said in a defeated tone. "But I can't help but wonder if there are other forces in the government who are as admirable as you are in they're goals."
"So do I Charles. So do I." Valerie said simply.
********************
Miami Florida, the Nagrite Manor
"Interesting." Dr. Jeremiah Nagrite said as he looked over a file of papers and graphs.
"What Jeremiah?" Dr. Essex said as he walked over.
"It appears that the mutant cellular system is vulnerable to an attack of a biosynthetic nature."
"What?"
"It's just like cancer really. According to these tests, when we injected the virus into our mutant "Patient" his powers grew at an uncontrollable rate."
"So how is that going to wipe out mutants? It will only make them stronger." Essex said simply as her shook his head.
"You didn't let me finish. There powers grow completely out of control until they're body eventually destroys itself." Dr. Jeremiah Nagrite said with a smile.
"Interesting." Dr. Essex said with a smile.
"There's only one problem. Those with accelerated healing abilities like my son, have a slight chance of survival. They're body repairs itself too damn fast. I need to find the right genome configuration to get this down right."
"And that requires more of Mikey's blood, right docs…" Sarah Ramos said as she leaned against the wall.
"Yes. But you won't have to do it this time Sarah." Dr. Essex said. "Ever since the Brotherhood joined the government, some friends who are quite high up, have been providing us with all the information that we need to continue."
"Damn." Sarah said simply. "Well, let me know when you need me." Sarah said as she walked away.
"Sooner than you think my dear girl." Dr. Nagrite said with a twisted simile. "Sooner than you think…"
********************
Bayville Museum
"I don't believe it." Mike said simply as he walked around the museum and stared at a painting. "How in the hell did Bayville get the "Mona Lisa"?" Mike said as he stared at the famous portrait with Toad.
"Beats me." Toad said simply. "I just find it ironic that one of the most treasured paintings of all times is in a location at this specific moment in time to most likely be destroyed in a huge battle between good an evil."
"Oh yea." Pietro said as she looked at the picture.
"Someone up there really doesn't like that painting." Mike said simply as he smiled and walked away.
"The west side is all clear." Toad said into his communicator.
"So is the east." X said into her communicator. She, Jean and Nightcrawler were walking around the east wing of the museum.
"North is clear." Blob said as he and Lance walked around with Rogue and Iceman.
"South is clean." Scott said into his communicator. He, Kitty, Scarlet Witch and Forge walked around the south area.
"This blows." Betsy said as she sat in a parked Van with Valerie and Xavier.
"Psylocke, you're still under doctor's orders not to engage in a fight." Valerie said sternly. "I'm ignoring the fact that you entered into a battle against the hellfire club earlier under the circumstances that you had no choice, but the X-Men and X-Factor can handle the situation without you."
"Bloody Bureaucratic pettifogging son of a betch…" Betsy started to ramble.
"Stuff it." Valerie said as she pulled out a bottle of aspirin.
"It begins." Xavier thought with a smile as Valerie downed a couple of dozen of the painkillers.
"Hold up…" Lance's voice crackled over the intercom. "I'm sensing some heavy disturbances in the seismic fields around here." Lance said.
"I'm picking up a huge surge from the astral plane." Betsy said simply.
"There's why." Xavier said as he pointed at the glowing figure in the distance.
"My God…" Valerie said as she saw Chamber. Jonothan Starsmore's scarred body radiated Psychokinetic energy from the hole in his chest. The energy floated around him, dancing in swirling patterns as his eyes glowed.
"Mike, The Bloody energizer Bunny is in your section!" Betsy shouted over the com link.
"Where?" Mike's vice shouted over the com-link.
"My god…" Betsy said as Chamber fired off a blast the nuked the West side of Bayville Museum. "MIKE!" Betsy shouted as the building collapsed.
"X-Factor, Chamber has made himself known. Engage at will!" Valerie shouted over the intercom.
