Chapter Ten

HOLY WORLD

Theressa had been wide awake when the General walked back in with the woman who had taken the information for Theressa, telepathically. He walked over to her and said, "We went to the sewers."

"Really, I here it's nice down there this time of year. So did you go swimming or just sight seeing?" Theressa asked sarcastically. The woman closed her eyes and telepathically punched Theressa, who let a scream pass her lips.

"Every time you are sarcastic like that, Emma Frost will telepathically harm you in whatever why she wants." The General informed Theressa. "Now, when we went to the swears, there was no one there. You gave us the wrong information. Now, you will tell us where your friends are or you will die."

"How could I have given you the wrong information if Miss. Frost pulled it out of my head by force? She took the information from me and she took the right information too but guess my friends got a tip that they were under attack and fled for their lives."

"You gave them that tip?"

"No, not me. I was all ready in chains by the time I knew what you were doing. Someone else must have given them the tip. Someone who knows your plan. What is your plan anyways?"

"why should I tell you?"

"Because you are the bad guy and the bad guy always gloats about his plan. You know allows his prisoners on more piece of information before he dispossess of them."

Emma was about to hit Theressa telepathically, one more, when the General said, "No, I like your way of thinking, mutant. Perhaps I will tell you what is going on."

"Sir, I don't think that is the best idea. This is Black Fox. She has gone up against Sinister, Magneto, and Apocalypse many times and won. Do you not think this is some kind of tick?"

"No, Emma, I don't. She is a helpless mutant as is Mr. Summers over there. There is no one to rescue them from the fate that has been sealed for them. There is no danger in telling them my plan." Emma watched as the General walked out the door.

"So, Emma, why do you serve him?" Scott asked, tired of not talking.

"I serve him because I am the most valuable mutant on this earth."

Theressa and Scott looked at each other and said in unison, "He pays her."

Emma looked at Theressa and then Scott. "How much does he pay you?" Theressa asked.

"Enough."

"Why does he need you? He's got guys with guns that will be happy to kill a mutant on sight." Scott asked.

"Because…" Emma began and then thought about her words and why she was even talking to the prisoners. "I do not have to answer your questions." Just then the General returned with a machine that was waist high and looked like a metal form of a mushroom.

"What is that?" Scott asked. The General smiled as he leaned on the machine and said, "This, Mr. summers is what is going make this world holy again."
