Still need suggestions for couples... The
villain will be introduced in this chapter. Lots of fighting, too...
By five thirty, the Brotherhood house was unusually quiet. Everyone inside was calm or tired.
Lance Alvers, the leader, aka Avalanche, looked around at his fellow teammates, who were simply passing time by snoring or staring off into space.
Fred Dukes was snoring the loudest, but Todd almost had him matched. Wanda was staring out the window, while Pietro was actually sitting still in a chair. Lance couldn't believe the super quick mutant was not speeding around the house like he'd just got a caffeine high. The house was actually peaceful...
The shadows of the tree did not provide enough cover for the lurking stranger who knelt down next to the Brotherhood House.
"Any of those lackeys could look out the window and spot me. Lucky for me they're not as advanced as the X-men. Sadly, that will make the challenge less interesting. But this is not for fun."
The stranger stretched up to his full height, reaching a few inches over six feet. A black trench coat the reached to the stranger's ankles was wrapped around him. His short black hair had been slicked upward slightly, and his skin was a mix of pale blue and white. The hat on his head covered most of his face with a shadow. Large black boots made him even a little taller, almost reaching six-and-a-half feet.
The stranger waited a few more minutes before walking up to the front door. He gave an eerie smirk, and knocked softly at the door.
Lance was the first to the door. The quiet knocking had somehow awakened Todd and Fred from the noisy slumber. This caused Lance confusion, as Todd and Fred's combine snoring reached high noise levels.
Wanda had broken from her trance, but Pietro was still sitting quietly. Wonder what's up with him, Lance thought to himself, as he wrapped his hand around the doorknob. Then he opened the door.
A man that stood a few inches taller than Lance with a black trench coat and shades smiled politely.
"Can I help you?" Lance tried not to sound rude.
"Yes, I was wondering, this is the Brotherhood house, isn't it?"
"Yes, it is. Why do you care?" The man's smile dissipated.
"Because it's my business", he answered abruptly, using one hand to shove Lance backwards.
Trouble, Lance thought before a hook punch caught him in the
cheek.
As Lance fell to the floor, Pietro noticed the stranger.
"Hey!" In an instant, Pietro was behind the man. "What're you doing?!"
The man turned around and placed a kick to Pietro's side, causing him to bend to the side. Before the lightning-fast teen could defend himself, the man grabbed onto the front of Pietro's shirt, and lifted him into the air. Then he threw the mutant across the room. Pietro crashed into Todd, sending them both to the floor.
Wanda charged a hex, as Fred recklessly charged at the stranger. He balled a fist, ready to punch them man's lights out. Fred's fist slung across the man's jaw. It jetted to the side with a crack.
The man just chuckled with his broken jaw, and then cracked it back in place, seemingly uninjured. The man's expression caused Fred to take a step back.
"What's your problem?!" Fred yelled at the man who hadn't stopped chuckling.
Behind Fred, Wanda looked unsure whether to fire her hex or not. The man was creeping her out too.
The laughing ended, and an outside crescent kick knocked Fred back a few steps. Twin lime-colored beams escaped the man's palms, and batted down Wanda, rendering her hex to evaporate.
The ground started to shake, as Lance's hands shot forward in the direction of the stranger. A ground wave tumbled toward him, but the stranger leapt over it, and sailed into Lance with a sidekick.
As he fell flat on his back, Todd took the opportunity to propel himself feet first at the man. Skillfully, the man spiraled directly next to Todd, elbowing the propelling mutant, causing his momentum to carrying him into the wall.
He's down for the count, the man thought, scanning the rest of the room. Lance was getting to his feet, as was Wanda. Fred started to pick up the couch, as Pietro encircled the man in a vortex of super speed.
Getting tired of not making much progress, the man pulled out a small device and pressed a button, signaling a small red light to blink. He quickly slipped the device back into his pocket, and amusingly watched the speed demon cause an indoor tornado around him.
A failed attempt to stop me will get you nowhere, young mutants. Suddenly, the window behind the Brotherhood exploded into the room, shard of glass spraying the fighting mutants.
A mutant well known by the Brotherhood leaped onto the floor next to them, followed by a man and a woman wearing dark purple and black uniform.
The Brotherhood quickly moved to the side to make sure not to be too close to an oncoming attack. Sabertooth stood in front of them with an evil grin. The man and woman broke into a fighting stance, and the stranger took a step back.
"Don't hurt them too bad. I want them to be taken back to the base when you finish." And with that, the man exited.
"Yes, Mr. Sinister", Sabertooth replied.
The mutant known as Sabertooth looked into the faces of the four teens. He smelled fear, but anger and defiance. Todd was still unconscious by the wall. Lance, Wanda, Pietro, and Fred were all ready to fight.
"You heard what the boss said, Carson, Regina. Don't make them cry. But don't let them give their attitude." Sabertooth nodded at the two fighters behind him, and then turned back to the mutants. "Let's get on with it!"
Sabertooth charged at the group, claws behind him. Pietro sped off to the side, Wanda charged a hex, Lance shook the ground, and Fred got ready to pound.
Lance's ground quakes caused Sabertooth to loose his balance, so he made a dive. Lance moved to the side just as Sabertooth's claws swung through the air. They tore through the front of Lance's shirt. The ground shaking mutant back off, the front of his shirt in shreds, but he was unharmed.
Sabertooth jumped up to his feet, only to be pummeled by a punch from Fred. Sabertooth hit the ground, but the flipped backwards onto his feet.
The front door became encased by an aqua-colored energy, and broke off the wall, barreling into Sabertooth from behind. Wanda's hex had succeeded, but it caused her guard to be down. The woman placed a roundhouse kick into Wanda's side. Stunned, Wanda watched the woman spin once and leap into the air, twisting into an aerial roundhouse, clipping Wanda in the shoulder. The three hundred sixty degree roundhouse had flipped Wanda onto the ground.
Pietro saw his sister's need of help, but Sabertooth leaped at him. The speed demon's reflexes were quick, but he had been off guard. Sabertooth's claws slashed his arm, but Pietro had avoided some of the attack. His long sleeve on his shirt was ripped, and the slashes started to bleed. But Sabertooth gave him a backhand that sent the teen mutant into an aerial slide, causing him to crash into a chair.
The male fighter hook punched Lance, and then preformed a fast sweep, flipping Lance off his feet. The earth shaking mutant tried to get up, but the man brought his heel down on Lance's back.
Fred charged at Sabertooth with balled fists, but the older mutant leapt into the air, and crashed down against Fred with his foot.
Sabertooth dropped back to the ground, and smiled.
"Piece of cake. I can't wait till I get the X-men."
A/U: There is also one other villain with Mr. Sinister. The party night will be in the next chapter, too. Need pairings.
