Chapter 10
"Warren, Cher, I don't want you to do this," Remy muttered pulling of his pyjama shirt. Warren pulled Remy onto his lap and kissed him.
"I'll be fine," Warren smiled, "I'll be in public, and everyone will be there, plus Nina can tell what will happen to me if I get caught."
"I know but what if something goes wrong Cher?"
"Nothing will happen," Warren smiled kissing Remy once more, "I promise."

"Roberto, are you sure you wanna come?" Storm asked. The boy just nodded. "What about you lot, you are all so young."
"We're not," Ray said, "And I wanna apologize to Nina."
"Me too," Rogue said.
"Alright," Storm smiled.
"Besides, Nina, Toby and Meta will be there," Iceman grinned, "Why the hell can't we be?"

"Toby, calm down!" Nina said. She held him by his arms squeezing them gently. "You wont have to take it off until we find Succubus, okay. Then Meta will cut it off and then we will destroy her. I promise we will get you a new one, I swear on my soul."
"Anima's right Tobes," Meta agreed. Tobias looked away, before pulling out the new chain he got off MEAC. "What's that?"
"It's a new chain," Tobias answered, "I'll be able to take it off whenever I want."
"Then why don't you wear that!"
"I'm not sure if it works,"
"Then in that case," Nina said, "We can wait until after we find Succubus."
"How will we find her though?" Meta sighed.
"Hopefully she will try to get another animal-like mutant."

Angel slowly walked down the car park towards the elevator. He swallowed. All the other mutants were hiding in the cars they brought wearing the metal chains that hid their thoughts from Succubus. Angel turned to the closest car. In it Gambit sat staring at him fearfully, next to him sat Nightcrawler, Storm and Raphael, and in front of them in the passengers seat sat Sabertooth and Wolverine. A few cars down were the group of students sitting the X-van. Sunspot, Rogue, Iceman, Pyro, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Frog, Bezerker, Cannonball, Attracta, and Spider sat along with Toad who was humming the Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles theme song.
Inside the shop more mutants waited. Charles, Magneto, Ice, Mystique, Cyclops, Flexy, Shadowcat, Colossus, Jubilee, Blob, and Siryn were standing around in the store waiting for the appearance of the man eater.
"Come on show up," Angel muttered, drawing closer to the elevator. He jumped slightly when it opened. He looked over to Gambit once more and saw Wolverine and Sabertooth waving to him to enter the elevator. He nodded and edged closer to it. He took a deep breathe, only a metre away from the elevator. A soft laugh behind him and cry telling him to look out made him turn. He jumped again when he found Succubus standing behind him, her laughter growing louder. She sounded like the witch from the Looney Tunes. Sabertooth and Wolverine sprinted out of the car as did everyone else. Thunder began top crash. Succubus kept laughing and kicked Angel into the elevator moments before the door shut; she followed him in as it shut.
"Open dis door ya stupid skank!" Gambit screamed slamming his hands on the metal door. Wolverine pushed him away and clawed away at the door, only to find the elevator had moved down. He was about to jump after it but he found Sabertooth pulling him back. Magneto, Charles and everyone else that was in the shop arrived back up to car park.
"I will bring it up," Magneto said instantly using his powers to try and bring it up. It moved up extremely slowly, showing resistance to Magneto's powers. "She is some how stopping my powers."
"I'd like to see her stop my powers," Attracta muttered running over, she instantly began to pull the block of metal up. However it wasn't working as fast as she expected. "Okay she is blocking my powers!"
"Okay, try combining all your powers," Cannonball said, Charles nodded and wheel himself over. He began to telekinetically pull the elevator up with help from Magneto, Attracta, and Storm who was using winds to push it up. Flexy also held the elevator from the sides and began to pull it up.
Finally the group succeeded and pulled the elevator out of its place and placed it on the ground next to the cars. Wolverine and Sabertooth ran towards the metal box and to ready to tear it open. However as soon as they touched it, they were thrown into the surrounding cars. Sunspot ran towards the sun and stood silently for a second until the sunlight charge him up. His body turned into a flame and he ran to the elevator. He too was thrown into a car.

Warren stood helplessly in front of Succubus. She smirked at him.
"This time I will kill you a little earlier," She grinned, striking her claws against his freshly shaven face. He cried in pain as she continued to abuse his fragile body.

"There is no way in," Storm cried as Toad jumped on top of the elevator. Somehow he wasn't thrown off. Toad shrugged and opened the trap door. He was met with a yellow bolt sending him over the ledge of the building. He screamed as he fell to the hard ground stories down.
"Toad!" Mystique cried, running to the ledge. Storm followed, her eyes turning white, winds gathered Toad up and carried him back up to safety. He landed with a thud on the ground next to Mystique. Toad looked up at Storm.
"Thanks,"
"Don't mention it," Storm said turning back around. A purple light formed around elevator and pain-filled screams were coming from them. Gambit was wailing in horror as he tried to charge the door once more, only to be thrown into the wall once more.
Another screech caught Storm's attention. She turned along with everyone else to the sound to see an eagle flying into the car park. Behind it two figures stood hidden by the sun's bright rays. The bird landed on the elevator, and morphed down to a small monkey.
Tobias and Lolita ran down towards the group.
"Anima, get her out of the elevator," Tobias called. He didn't really need to tell her because she had already opened the top door and jumped in. She morphed to herself and snarled at Succubus, who didn't waste anytime fighting. Instantly Succubus kicked Nina in the stomach knocking her down, she jumped up and exited the elevator the same way Nina entered. Only to be met by a waiting Tobias. She began wailing in fear, Tobias, just like her, had been waiting for her, and wasn't going to waste anytime. He wasn't planning on having fun with her fears, only killing her. His mind was flooded with the fear of being haunted by the ones that she killed, however it did not bother him a tiny bit, his fear was losing family, or being alone. Using his powers on Nina never worked since she had no fear, but everyone else was not lucky.
Around him, his friends and family watched as Succubus' black hair turned white, she continued to scream in fear, while Tobias grew stronger with her growing weakness.
After one final scream from the man eater, she finally succumbed to the pain, and collapsed dead. All gasped as her body turned to dust, and disappeared.

Nina stood above of Warren and shook her head. He lay beneath her drenched in his own blood, not moving, his skin as white as snow, and his lips were bluer then the sky. She no longer felt his pain, because neither did he. Gambit ran in and fell by Warren's side.
"We were too late," Nina announce to everyone, gravely, "He is already dead."
"Non," Gambit mumbled weakly, Storm ran to his side, kneeling besides him.
"Raphael can heal him cant he!" Storm asked.
"No," Nina said simply, "he can't heal the dead."
"Non, he can't be!" Gambit cried tears beginning to stream down his face. Nina walked off leaving the group.
"Nina," Tobias called.
"What?"
"You can- you know- do that thing you do," Tobias pointed out. Nina turned, and found everyone staring at her, except Remy who was to busy bawling his eyes out.
"What thing?" Storm asked. Nina ignored, walked back towards the fallen angel.
"What are you doing?" Roberto asked weakly, she turned to face him.
"He's dead Rob," Nina muttered, "I've failed; I can't stay with you guys anymore."
"But you can't go!" He cried, grabbing her hand. Nina looked down at his hand holding hers.
"I have too,"
"I'll come with you,"
"Not were I am going," Nina said, snorting slightly. Her hands reached behind her neck, she pulled them back revealing a small silver chain. She took Roberto's hand and placed it in his palm. She then closed her hand. "I'll be back for it."
Roberto nodded; she gently kissed him on the lips, before turning to Storm and Sabertooth. "Mum, dad, I'll be back, don't worry. Love ya."
Sabertooth nodded as Storm burst out into tears, Kurt pulled her into his arms.
"Matt, feed my cat," Nina said, "Fang will feed himself. Josh, be good, please, Meta that applies to you too."
"Oh shut up," Meta smirked.
"Helen, chill out, Stacy be cool,"
"Any one left," Stacy pointed out, getting teary.
"Of course," Nina said, "Todd, you're cool for a frog...yo."
"Thanks, yo," Todd grinned.
"No problem, yo," Nina said, before turning to Tobias, "I don't need to say anything."
Tobias nodded, before pulling his twin into a hug. "Come back soon. When will you return?"
"I don't know, I'll see," Nina said, releasing her self, she turned to Gambit, "Say hi to Bird-brain, I mean, Warren for me, Raph be ready to heal."
"What?" Gambit muttered. Nina smiled softly at him before closing her eyes, she muttered something softly under her breathe, he didn't know what she said, but only seconds later she cried, holding her stomach in pain, before collapsing to the ground. Just like Succubus she disappeared into dust. Storm screamed. Another noise caught, moaning from his arms. He looked down at his lover and found him staring at him looking confused. Raphael instantly had started healing him, before anyone realised what happened.
"What happened?" Warren asked, as Raphael healed the final cuts under his neck.
"You were touched by an angel," Tobias said, as he put on the new chain. Warren stared up at him with a raised brow.
"What did Nina just do?" Remy asked. Storm and Sabertooth walked over listening intently.
"She killed one of her own life lines to save him," Tobias answered.
"Oh God!" Storm cried, "She's gone."
"She killed herself for a bird!" Sabertooth growled.
"She'll be back, relax," Tobias muttered, "Can we go home?"
"Ja," Kurt answered, "Its best we get home before some one sees us."
"Some one needs to fix the elevator," Ice called.
"Aren't you worried about Nina?" Rogue asked. He shook his head.
"She'll be back," Stacy said.
"Yeah, she is like a boomerang," Meta said.
"Wonder how long til she comes back this time?" Helen muttered as the mutants headed to the cars. Roberto looked down at his closed hand. He opened it revealing a small, silver eagle-shaped pendant. He smiled as Tobias grabbed his by the arm and pulled him towards a car.
"The Eagle was her favourite animal," Tobias said, "When she returns she will have a new favourite animal and a new pet."
"What do you mean?" Roberto asked as the two entered the car.
"This is the second time she did this," Tobias said, "The first time was when she first got her powers, she saved the life of Damien, he was able to morph into a snake, Succubus killed him, but Nina returned him from the dead, she disappeared for almost six months. But when she returned she came back with Fang, and the love of the eagle."
"So when she returns she'll come back with a new pet?" Roberto asked. He smiled "Hope it isn't an elephant."
"Or a rat," Tobias said, disgusted. Roberto laughed.
