Universe: Misfit-Verse
Evil has but many faces
Everyone turned to see a blue person levitating into the building through the hole that Magneto's sphere had made. The X-Men and Misfits recognized the mutant, Apocalypse. The Scion's recognized the Scion of Un-Creation; Therten.
"Everybody get out!" DM shouted, the two teams wasted little time.
"So good to see you again, Ambrose." The possessed mutant said with a sadistic smile. "But I'm afraid the young woman has not yet been properly introduced to me." Apocalypse/Therten descended to the floor and glided along it towards Wanda. He stopped just in front of her, when Perfection put himself between her and the decidedly evil Scion.
"Back off Therten." Perfection growled in a strange tone, his eyes and body crackled over with a red and white energy. Therten backed down.
"I am not yet strong enough with in this body to destroy you, Ambrose." Therten said. "But mind you I can still destroy those that you care about."
At this DM drew a silver bladed sword, and readied it. Wraith readied his own weapons.
"Are you two that foolish to endanger your mortal friends here?" Therten said as he rolled his eyes. "Wait just a few days longer and you can attempt to destroy me with out killing your precious comrades."
"What do you want?" Perfection said as he kept Wanda safely behind him.
"A battle of course." Therten chuckled. "You pathetic excuses for power versus me. And I mean all of the Scions." Therten chuckled. "Until then…" Therten extended a shadowy arm around Perfection and struck Wanda to the ground very hard. "A little motivation." With that Therten vanished into nothingness.
"Wanda!" Perfection yelled as he dropped to pick her up. He noticed a small pool of red leak from her side. "WANDA!" Perfection screamed. Then a sensation came over him as he looked up to see three old hags holding tight to a thread that they were preparing to cut. "WRAITH STOP THEM!" Perfection roared as he surged his power to full blast, leveling the walls of the COBRA compound.
"YOU THREE!" Wraith roared in anger as he saw the three Scions of True Evil. Once they were the goddesses of fate, now they plagued world with needless death, needless and unapproved. "Atropos, you cut that and you will see the extent of my power, yet again." Wraith said with an unholy growl.
"Eh, big deal." Atropos said as she brought the blades to bear.
"NO!" Perfection yelled as a rush of air knocked the blades to the ground. Perfection couldn't help but stare in wonder, he wasn't supposed to be allowed to do that.
"What!" The three hags reeled back as the bladed hit the ground.
"DM, get her out of here." Perfection said as he handed the unconscious Wanda to him. "Don't argue, just do it for me. Please, and the others." DM didn't argue when he saw the look in his friends eyes. They were going black with anger, he left with a nod as he yelled to the JOEs to prepare for a teleportation.
With a roar Perfection was in the air next to Wraith. Perfection's aura had gone from it's usual red and white to a warped black and cyan. His eyes absorbed all light that came into contact with them. He was truly and utterly pissed off.
"YOU!" He pointed an accusatory finger at Atropos. "YOU DON'T DECIDE DEATH HERE!" He growled.
"Whoa." Wraith said as he watched his friends anger boil over. Then he remembered something, Perfection was right. "You're out of your bound's Fates. You are but mere suggestions in men's minds." Wraith said as his eyes glowed. "And if you've forgotten, I AM THE MASTER OF DEATH!"
"Fools, Master Therten will destroy you. You think you two can scare us?" Clotho laughed as her sister joined her.
"I don't care if we don't scare you—" Wraith was cut off.
"I want you to SUFFER!" Perfection screamed as he launched several black orbs forward. The Scions of Evil just bashed them aside as they came close.
"Pathetic, Chaos." Lachesis cackled. "You know that right?"
"ARGH!" Perfection roared as he launched orb after orb at the three sisters, Wraith could only watch in confusion. He had never seen his friend behave so violently, this was a truly new side to him. "DIE!" Perfection screamed as he built an orb of white energy in his hand.
"Oh please." Atropos rolled her eyes, "Like peace-boy could hurt anyone."
"Shouldn't have said that." Wraith said with his eyes wide open.
"DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Perfection shrieked as a white light clouded all the Scion's vision.
Twelve hours later Perfection was waiting in the office of General Hawk, even though he just wanted to be near Wanda. Of course the top brass of the military were now aware of the Scion's existence, and so were the normal people of the world.
"… As you can see this is the twelve mile wide crater left by the unknown mutant." The newscaster said on the TV. The screen showed a twelve mile wide section of the COBRA installment, or what was left of it. "Ironically, the out of control mutant destroyed it's creators' compound, and it is highly unlikely that COBRA will be making a base in China again anytime soon."
Then Hawk turned the TV off and there was silence for few seconds. Then the general spoke.
"We're thankful, for all your help." The General began, "But the United States of America would like to officially ask you to leave our dimension."
"I'm not leaving Wanda." Perfection said sternly.
"Listen I understand that you're in love with her, but for now. Until you've settled up with this 'Therten' guy, could you please handle it somewhere else?" Hawk tried to reason.
"You think, he's here to just fight me?" Perfection looked up. "He wants to destroy everything that makes me happy, he doesn't care if we fight. That's why he attacked Wanda, he didn't want me to fight he wanted my soul to be destroyed with her death. He's not going to follow us for a battle elsewhere. If we leave, he's just going to destroy your world, and you wouldn't be able to stop him." Perfection's eyes were a cold green then. "And I'm not leaving Wanda." He got up and went to the door. "Ever." And then he closed it as he went to the infirmary.
When he arrived, the nurse Bree and her husband Lifeline were helping Wanda into a wheel chair. The hole that had been punched in her side was completely healed thanks to K2's advanced technology. When Perfection met eyes with Wanda, Bree noticed and so did Lifeline and the two left to let the young couple be.
"I-I'm sorry." Perfection said as he laid his head into Wanda's lap. "I couldn't help it."
"Couldn't help what?" Wanda asked. Instantly a TV appeared with the image of the result of Perfection's anger. "I just couldn't stand it." Wanda didn't even looked phased by the image.
"Are you ok?" She asked holding his face up with her hand.
"What?" He blinked in confusion.
"Are you ok?" She repeated, the Scion nodded.
"That's all I really care about then." That's when Perfection broke down crying.
"Thank you." Perfection said. "Thank you so much."
"For what?" Wanda asked.
"Making me happy." He looked in her eyes, "For not being angry that I couldn't protect you."
Wanda giggled a little, even though her side hurt, "I don't need you protection all the time you know." Then she saw his face take sad turn. "What?" She asked.
"Hawk wants us to leave. So does Xavier, and the others." Perfection sighed, "The Triplets aren't talking to DM and Rogue's completely ignoring Wraith even though he just wants to help her with her powers." He looked out the window as he rolled Wanda to it. "I think they're right. I think we should leave, we've done enough damage, and Therten might follow us."
"Might follow you?" Wanda asked, still trying to comprehend what he was saying. "To where? He wants this world dead. He won't follow you." She said with a down cast look. "Perfection, for the first time, I'm afraid. And not just for me, for everyone. But mainly…" She met his eyes, "I don't want to see you in this constant pain."
Perfection smiled weakly as he got up and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Then he walked down the halls. Thoughts and emotions flooded his mind, but unlike the usual torrent of random thoughts there was a constant. He couldn't get Wanda's word out of his head, he couldn't get her out of his head. As he came to DM, Karma, Wraith, Astral and K2 he knew what the expected to hear.
"Get the others, we're going after him." Perfection said coldly. "He's not taking Wanda from me."
DM just smiled as he exited with K2 to the Verge, Wraith nodded, when he exited, and Karma followed with a worried look. Astral got up from his chair and walked forward, and extended his hand. It was Perfection's turn for a confused look.
"You might drive me nuts with the shape shifting and practical jokes. You might even piss me off every so often. But time like these remind me why I would through my hat into battle with you anytime." Astral said. "When you show you aren't just a tragic cliché of the universe, when you show that you are still human." With that Astral was gone, leaving behind a simple black feather and smile on Perfection's face.
