Chapter 4: the MPRS
"I believe meeting this group could proof most enlightening" The Professor announced after he heard their story.
"It might be a trap professor" Scott exclaimed.
"Oh Scott, you just don't want to go because that boy tried to show you up. Really Scott, your 21 years old" Jean scolded "You think you'd have matured."
That's not the reason!" Scott exclaimed turning red. "I think it might put us in danger."
"Scott if we are all there, it will lessen our likelihood to be put in danger." Mr. McCoy stated factually.
"But we can't all go!" Scott argued "It would look suspicious for a giant group of costumed people hanging around an old abandoned gas station. That's where it is isn't it?"
The professor nodded. "Yes it is, and I do see the sense in your words," Scott smiled. "That's why only the senior members are going to accompany Logan, Storm, Beast and myself."
The younger members didn't know whether to protest about being left behind or celebrate because they were being left behind with out an adult. So they decided to stay painfully silent.
"But Professor-"Scott's complaint was cut off by a "Shut UP Summers." That came from Avalanche. Scott glared at him but amazingly shut up.
"Good now that that's settled we shall go tomorrow at noon. Make sure you dress casually. We do not want to draw suspicion"
They waited till the crowds grew to a trickle then headed slowly towards the gas station. It looked like it hadn't been used in a century, boarded up nice and tight dirt and trash covered the surroundings it was disgusting.
Maybe dis be just a joke Remy thought till they spotted the girl with dreadlocks sitting on an old crate playing solitaire. She looked up and grinned.
"You came! Yes now Aaron has to pay up." She stood up brushing dust from herself then started off towards the back of the gas station "Come on people let's move" She said mimicking a general.
The back of the garage didn't look any better than the front in fact it looked worse. Garbage was stacked high and odd things were out every where like the bumper to a car and an old vacuum that looked to be from the 1400's. The girl stopped in front of the stack of old tire that sat on the side of the gas station, then started digging behind it. She pulled out a DEAD MOUSE! Some of the girls shrieked, others gave her a look of disgust. She rolled her eyes "It's not real. None of the garbage is."
She stuck her thumb into the back of it and waited a little while there was a click. And the stack of tires slid away to reveal a stair case.
"A fingerprint proof finger print scanner." She said looking proudly at it "made it myself." She then looked at the doors "a five sheet layer of titanium invisible to the naked eye."
Remy whistled silently. That was a heck of a security system; it would even be hard for Cyclops to penetrate that baby.
She glanced at Xavier's wheel chair. Then punched something into the keyboard on the near by wall. The stairs collapsed into a ramp and she walked down into a lighted hallway. Fred could barley fit through but he made it. They went down that hallway and found themselves in a huge room that seemed part kitchen, part living room, and part infirmary. The girl that was BlackFlame sat on the counter top typing on her lab top. The brown haired boy sat flipping through channels and the Mohawk girl sat in the corner her eye's closed and her mouth moving but no sound came out. There were four other doors around the room and the blond boy came out of one looking serious.
When they entered the suppose-have MRPS force what ever that meant stopped what they were doing and came to inspect the X-men. There was a long silence then one of the other doors opened and in walked what looked to be the little boy he was covered in a strange metallic suit with a glass helmet that fit his face closely. He was holding the hand of the black wrap mask girl she still hadn't taken her uniform off it seemed. The blond boy looked surprised when she came through.
"Shadow maybe you should take the kid in the other room we can handle this" The girl's eyes narrowed in suspicion. He looked towards the X-men then back to her.
"Ombragez ces personnes pourrait savoir que qui vous êtes ne risquez pas notre recherché" he said in very fast and fluent French. Any person that hadn't spoken it all their life wouldn't understand it at that speed. Luckily Remy had.
The girl raised an eyebrow at the boy. "De que parlez-vous? Je ne les ai avant jamais rencontrés."
The boy looked into her eyes." Faites confiance svp que je quand je dis il ne serait pas bon pour indiquer votre identité à eux."
The girl sighed but nodded. The boy gave a relieved smile to then turn back on them with his frown.
"Peut-être vous devriez apprendre qui parle français avant que vous ayez une conversation secrète en français avant elles. Ou est-ce que j'ai été censé entendre cela?" Remy spoke just as fast but giving it a Cajun accent.
The blond boy stared at him flabbergasted. The girl just raised an eyebrow and inspected him with interest.
"Please tell us why yeh don't want us to know who she is." Remy said this time speaking in English and giving the two a cocky grin. The X-men narrowed their eyes in suspicion eyeing up the girl. The blond boy glared at the Cajun. But the girl didn't show any emotion, though Remy suppose it be hard to see emotion behind the mask.
"I have no idea what why my teammate thinks I know you because I can guarantee I don't. So if it really bothers you that much I will take my mask off." She said in a crisp English accent.
"Don't-" came a curt command from the boy. But it was too late she unwrapped the mask slowly starting from the neck then slowly unwinding up. She revealed thick red lips and then a small nose and last her gorgeous emerald eyes. She pulled off the top to reveal long flat black hair.
With purple dyed tips. Now that Remy could see her fully he could see her eyes were slightly oriental and her skin slightly tanned. She clearly had some oriental blood in her.
"Are you happy luv?" She asked a grin on her own face to match his.
The blond boy looked at, at first then he looked angry. "Betsy I told you not to do that."
"And I told you they didn't know me, do you?" She asked looking into each of their eyes, they slowly all shook their heads. "Hate to say I told you so but-" she said giving a sly grin and turning to meet he blond boy's eyes
"If you hate so much please refrain from doing it." The boy growled.
She slipped to Remy's side and put a hand to the side of his face dragging it down at an agonizing slow pace." But I find thing's I hate soooo intoxicating." She said in a sexy tone. Her emerald eyes danced. Remy gulped.
She then slipped back to the eleven year old boy who was looking at her strangely. "Vai o jogo o jogo que eu o ensinei no computador Adoa eu tenho que discutir coisas acima crescidas eu virei jogo logo."
"Mas seu-"
"Adoa vai por favor." She said sternly the boy sighed and left but not before saying "Você povoa é assim desconcertante."
She chuckled." Você não tem nenhuma idéia."
She turned back to the group. The blond boy stepped forward"I suppose introductions are in order my name is Garret Rodriguez otherwise known as flash. I can manipulate light fragments and cause flashes. I can tell you this you won't find our names any where there not even in the government files if you actually get in." he gestured towards the girl with short black hair.
"The name is Blackfire I preferred you didn't know my name no one uses it and not many people know it"
"What, you don't trust us." Lance accused.
She turned to fix Lance with stony eyes. " No that is not the reason, the reason not many people know my name is because if they know it they will be tempted to call me it and I wouldn't want them to give into your temptations. But since you brought up the question of trust. No I don't trust any of you. Not that you could betray us our security and connections our flawless. My power is this."
She held her hand near Lance's face and it burst into black flames making him jump back. She then closed her hand and the flames went out leaving a smoking fist. She stepped back towards her group and stood there coldly and calmly.
The next to introduce was Mirage. "My names Nikida code name Mirage and well I have chameleon skin you know I can blend into any surrounding but that power ain't that useful my other power is that I'm shapeshifter." She morphed into a form of Garret and stood up imitating him. He glared at her. She grinned sheepishly and turned back.
Next was the brown haired boy. "The names Aaron, code name's Gravitate. Because basically I can manipulate gravity as you experienced yesterday it doesn't go to well for the people around my but it works fine for me." He said with a warm smile.
Then there was the Mohawk girl who kind of looked like she was asleep. She let out a loud snore.
"Eliza-" Aaron whispered nudging her. Her eyes popped open and she put on a strange grin.
"Ahoy matte's welcome on board the 'Sir MPRS'. Wash your shoes before yeh talk to the captain he hates dirty shoes the names 'liza and I'm an as human as it gets" She exclaimed shaking hands wildly. "Me code name's XA cause it sounds like X-ray and I like X-rays once when I was twelve I-" Aaron covered her mouth.
" She'll go on like that for hours." He explained.
"Is it because of her mutant gift?" asked Jean quietly
"Ow!" Aaron yelled pulling his hand from her mouth and cupped it with his other hand.
"She's human" Garret said.
"I'm basically insane" She said. "But I excel terribly in combat training and I never miss my target." She picked a pen of the counter tops and flung it behind her back with out looking, it hit the power button on the TV turning it.
" That reminds me my shows on" She hoped over the couch to stare intently at the screen.
"Is that not a mutant gift?" the Professor asked
"There's not a single mutant gene in her body." Garret stated with a shrug.
The girl named Betsy was next." As you now know my names Betsy Braddock. My codename is Shadow my powers are-"
"She can copy any mutant's powers even if they haven't used them yet" Garret said quickly. She gave him a bewildered look but said nothing.
"Together we are all members of a very large but secret organization called the MPRS. Mutant Protection, Rehabitation, and Security. We protect mutants around the world. We use advanced security to give mutants a new start our very own Witness Protection Program for mutants. If they blow their cover we get them out as soon as possible. We also punish and imprison mutants that use there powers for evil."
"Where were you when we were dealing with Magneto" Wolverine muttered under his breath.
"We work along side humans helping mutants. Our headquarters are placed all around the world. When a new mutant discovers his or her powers they often are afraid and usually in danger. Our team brings them in and helps them learn to control their powers. When we are sure that they are fully under control they can choose to join us, live in our hidden mutant communities, take a hidden identity, or just leave with no attachments. We try to help even in the most dire situations" The last comment seemed to be aimed at Xavier.
"But that is not why we have asked you to come if we didn't something we would have been long gone with out even a clue to go on. The truth is we need your help."
