Thanks to all those who reviewed!
Lady Farevay: Thanks! Rogue did check Ray out but she's still set on the Cajun. And the muscle thing isn't that big, it's just that it's that descritptive because that's what Lady Pheromone likes. She likes the way they look. It also shows that smost of the X-men aren't just powerful mutant, but that they are also physically strong and fit. The ripped T-shirt thing was just to make it more daring because skin showed, and there was a chance Rogue might accidentally bump Bobby or Ray. Although, to point it out, if Rogue were to touch one of the guys, she would snatch everything as usual, but Lady Pheromone would still have control over them. But if Rogue absorbed Lady Pheromone, then all the mens' control would turn to Rogue. And I don't think Lady Pheromone will capture the Prof, he's too strong. But Lady Pheromone can still control some of the older mutant men. And the whole guys vs. girls thing is hopefully interesting because, instead of girl power, it's more battle of the sexes, and a real mutant fight. And I'm glad you like the name of the mutant lady.
Purity Black: Jean is mad, you can tell in this chapter. There will be a few more mutants under Lady Pheromone in this chapter. Thanks for the review!
DemonRogue13: I'm glad you like the woman's codename. Thanks for the review!
====================================================================
=====================================================================Jean Grey screamed as something grabbed onto to her, just before Scott's optic blast hit her. But suddenly the redhead found herself father back, and next to the X-van. She finally realized that Kurt had teleported her away.
"Thanks Kurt."Kurt nodded and then took off to aid Rogue.Jean quickly glanced down the street, and felt a little relief as she saw the X-van wheeling towards her. The telekinetic teen motioned to Kurt and Rogue to join her, as the fleeted toward the moving vehicle.The X-van swerved and braked. Jean watched as Logan, Kitty, Sam, Amara, Roberto, and Rahne all jumped out."Where's the Professor?!" Jean cried out to any of them."Back home." Logan answered gruffly, as he made his way toward Scott."Don't hurt him!" Jean called after Logan, but she didn't know if he would listen or not.As Scott started blasting the just arrived mutants, Jean quickly tried to contact his mind.Scott! Scott can you here me? It's Jean. Something is controlling you! You have to fight it!
But Scott's reply to Jean's telepathic message was an optic blast. Jean gasped and dove out of the way as the scarlet beam sent the X- van onto its side."I have to find the source." Jean mumbled to herself, planning on scanning the whole city for an unknown mutant.As she did, the telepathic redhead made sure to make the flipped X-van some sort of protect, hiding behind it as she focused on her telepathic searching.Finally, she found someone close by. But this mutant's thoughts were unable to me read by Jean. But she was near.Jean tried harder, and finally noted the Bayville docks as the location.Feeling as she needed a personal battle with whoever made Scott miss their date, Jean took off into the air without a word to anyone else.This was personal now.====================================================================
Jean landed on her feet, allowing her time to rest. There was a large warehouse in front of her, which gave her the incentive that it was a hiding place. If the mutant wasn't there, she'd simply check the rest of the docks. The mutant was still here, Jean could sense them.Quickly moving toward the large garage door, Jean lifted it ever so quietly with her TK. She raised just enough so she could duck in, and then let it down to the ground quietly.The tall redhead mutant turned her attention back to the inside of the warehouse, and gasped.The room was large, and the ceiling was high. There were catwalks and stairs scattered about. There were huge pillars of glowing light, a mix of purple and blue, giving the room and eerie glow. That glow, combined with the moonlight from the high windows cascaded around Jean.There were many piles of crates and boxes stacked up, and a few other things.Jean made her way to the middle of the room, where there was a desk and comfy chair. But as the telekinetic teen glanced beyond the desk, she gasped again. On a large purple table that stretched a good distance were bodies. As Jean moved toward the table, which was surrounded by piles of crates a few yards away, Jean's gaped.Along the table were all too familiar people.Bobby Drake was the closest. Next to him were Ray Crisp, then Lance Alvers, then Pietro Maximoff, and then John Allerdyce. Last was Remy LeBeau."What the hell happened here?" Jean gawked, staring at the "sleeping" mutants in front her. But then a whistling voice came to Jean's ear, just as she noticed some changes in the seven guys' appearances. The mutant teen dove behind some crates, and watched as a woman came into view.The first thing Jean noticed was the woman's hair, which was made up of different colors. But then she noticed a faint mist of purples and blues trailing the woman. As the mists became evident around the woman's hands, she began to touch each of the guys' cheeks, and cooed them."Wakey wakey my handsome mutant men. It's time we stop the rest of those X-men from hurting your buddy. And we need some more great guys. Then we can make Bayville ours. Actually, it would be mind. But you guys can all be apart of it of course."Jean already disliked this lady, and finally figured she was the mutant.Angry and jealous, Jean advanced on the lady from her hiding spot.But then she stopped, and started to lift an open crate with her TK. The telekinetic teen flipped it over, and trapped on the woman inside on the ground. The woman screamed as the crate touched ground and trapped her."Get me outta here!!" The woman screamed. Jean scoffed and moved toward the guys on the table.But now they were awake.Jean now realized how they had changed.Everyone's hairstyle were short and spiky, just like Scott's had been. And they were all wearing black jeans and different types of gray T-shirts. Some even had black jackets. They also had black gloves and black boots.But just as Jean found herself in awe, Ray suddenly fired a blast of electricity that shaved off the top of the crate. The woman suddenly flipped out, landing next to Jean.But before the woman even knew, the redhead mutant knocked her back with a wave of TK, sending her along the floor."Get her!!!" The woman screamed. Jean watched in horror as the mutant guys did just that, aiming their powers at her.Jean managed to dodge or block most of the attacks, but it wore her down considerably.An exploding card, courtesy of Gambit, suddenly knocked her back. She crashed through a pile of boxes, and slide along the floor.Jean stood up, brushing the hair out of her face, only to receive a punch to the face by the woman.The redhead mutant collapsed to the floor."Well missy, I've got a surprise in store for you." The woman stated. Jean quickly tried to telepathically call one of her friends, but the woman noticed it. Don't bother Red, my power of these men clouds up a disturbance of telepathic abilities. People might be able to talk to you, but you can't answer back. Quicksilver, get this girl in the back room and lock her up. Gambit, you wait in my office for me. The rest of you, go stop the rest of the X-men. And bring back some of your friends." The woman ordered, as she moved toward Remy.Jean tried to fight the woman, but then instantly she felt herself dragged away in super speed."Don't worry girl, I haven't forgot you. And you know what? I might even let you watch me take over this whole town. There are so many ways."And that was all Jean heard, before a heavy door smashed close in front of her, trapping her in a dark room."Let me out!!!" Jean screamed, but she knew it wouldn't work. The X-men would have to be ready, because this woman was more powerful than even Jean had thought.
It was quite along the docks. Only the sounds of waves crashing against the shore and the faded sounds of faraway cars were evident.
A/N: Please review.
