X-Men The Shadow Team
Chapter 5 : Confrontations and Resolutions
Outside Xavier's Office
Jubilee and the rest of the X-Terminators decided to explore the mansion. Jubilee and Alex headed towards the common room as Wraith took the rest of them towards the Danger Room.
Inside the Common Room all sorts of conversations were going on regarding the arrival of the X-Terminators, but the main conversation was based around a group consisting of Iceman, Phoenix, Psylocke, Wolverine, Cannonball, Husk,Beast & Juggernaught. They seemed to be split into two camps for & against Gambit's team. Juggernaught , Cannonball, Logan & Psylocke see the need for such a team while Phoenix, Iceman, Beast & Husk thought it violated the very idea of the dream.
Cain downed what was left of his beer belching loudly "Look Red as much as you deny it we need the info Gambit supplies Charlie & if he has to spill some blood to get it big deal its not as if the X-Men don't have blood on their hands".
Logan nodded "kid has more connections than anyone I know on both sides Good guys & the Bad we need the info without it wed just be reacting to things".
Husk buts in shyly"But Mr Logan surely you can see the methods getting it are wrong. We are X-Men , we don't need these tactics we are better than that we have to be."
Cannonball laughs at his sister softly" Paige don't be so naiive, you think this is just Black and White. I used to think like that before X-Force, but what I saw made me realise the world is a completely different place than when the dream started. For the dream to survive lethal force has to be used from time to time."
Bobby almost chokes on his drink listening to Sam thinking to himself who does this kid think he is hes not even a proper X-Man the original five are the ones who fought for the dream not this Southern Hick.
Bobby slams his drink down glaring at Sam"You don't know what the hell you are talking about there is never any cause to use scum like that traitor Gambit. God knows how many lives he has ruined already"
"What about the lives Warren, Logan, myself or Jean have destroyed we all have blood on our hands"
Jean blinks"that's a useless comparison none of us ever wilfully lied to the team about something we did that ended in such misery".
Nobody responds to Jean's statement as they cannot deny the truth in it even though Betsy and Logan share a look to say how shocked they are at the venom in Jean's statement.
" Oh Man what a bunch of hypocrites" snorted Jubilee to Havok from where they stood in the doorway.
Alex just gave the group an evil grin "no wonder Remy never wanted to come back here. You would think that after they took in Creed, Mystique and Emma Frost they would be able to find forgiveness for a team mate. I mean these guys even took in Magneto."
Logan stood up grinning at Bobby's reaction to Emma's name as he walked over to the pair "It is good to see you again Alex"
Alex simply nodded his head in greeting similar to a gesture Remy was known for which did not escape Logan's notice niether did his Remy like stance in the door frame. A puzzle for another time he thought.
Jubilee smiled at her old partner "well Wolvie you still want to talk I guess, but can we do it outside as I don't like how the air smells in here"
Logan smirked at Jubilee's jab at the tense atmosphere "sure thing darlin' I could use some fresh air myself"
Alex was just about to join them when Jean was suddenly thrown back forcefully from her chair.
"JEAN" Yelled Wolverine rushing to her side.
Alex looked at Jubilee "You don't think?" she however just laughed "Yep Scott just ticked off Remy and Jean got the backlash."
Logan looked up "What happened to her."
Alex grinned "my brother just pissed off Remy without realising how powerful he is now . Come outside & we will try and explain it"
After the three mutants left Bobby turns to the rest of the X-Men declaring angrily"He is nothing but trouble he should never have been allowed to join the X-Men."
Jean struggled to her feet "Such raw power where did it come from."
Paige watches Jean anxiously "Mrs Summers are you ok?"
Jean nods absently" yes but I can no longer hear what is going on in the Professors study it's like someone is purposefully blocking me"
"Don't worry kid she will be fine I think some more heads will get busted before this thing with the X-Terminators is over" Cain directed at Paige but looked pointedly at Bobby before he and Betsy left the room.
The Danger Room
Rogue lashes out smashing the last Sentinel finishing the programme just as Wraith and the X-Terminators walk in.
Wraith and Rogue stood face to face with Rogue barely containing her anger "Why didn't you tell me he was alive"
Wraith sighed "Because you did not deserve to know and he didn't want you to. You needed to think about what you had done to him"
Rogue storms past Wraith "We are not done with this Duncan"
Tsunami blocks Rogue's path "Maybe you should talk to Remy instead of blaming Duncan for a mess that you created because you found out your lover had a past and you couldndnt deal instead you ran like a frightened girl"
Rogue grabs Tsunami pinning her to the wall her hand wrapped around the X- Terminator's throat "Who the hell are you to talk to me like that"
Lycros springs forward ripping Rogue away from Tsunami growling "We are the people that have stood by him instead of sentencing him to death because he is not perfect."
Rogue hovers in front of them tears falling down her face " no no no you are wrong you don't understand I loved him and he loved me"
"Loved as in the past stay away from him or face us in force" Hissed drayven baring his fangs.
Rogue angrily turns & flies off.
"Well that went better than I thought it would nobody died"smirked Frenzy
"She has to confront Remy yet Juliete so don't hold your breathe" sighed Wraith
