Chapter 8
Lance stepped out the elevator quickly finding himself face to face with a extremely worried Pietro, his speech significantly faster then normal, and in a different language, "São tá bom? Siento muito, irritaram-me fora tão mal. Estão em problema? Necessitamos sair de?......" (Are you okay? I'm sorry, they annoyed me off so badly. Are you in trouble? Do we need to leave?)
The older teen cut him off with a raised hand, speaking easily in English after breaking apart and trying to decipher the speed demon's speech. "I'm fine, you don't have to apologize. I'm not in any shit they just wanted to know what happened, and WE ARE STAYING, at least for now, until we know what Magneto's plans are. Now, where's Todd? I have to talk to you both"
Pietro calmed down as he listened to Lance and a pale blush showed when he realized that he had been speaking in a different language again. "He's in our room, I think he was just reading one of the fiction books we brought, he's more stable then when we came down."
"Good, because we have something to discuss that I want both of your input on." With that the two walked towards Todd & Pietro's room where they found the younger boy reading a language book that Pietro had brought.
He closed the book and set it aside as the two came into the room, he perked up and then caught sight of the stitched cut on Lance's die, he hopped up immediately, "Lance, what happened?"
Pietro turned to Lance and saw the slash on his side as the older teen smirked slightly, "Spikey lost control of his little throws, though I do believe the Professor is currently ripping him, Jean, and Summers a new one as we speak, in his own subtle way of course."
Seeing they accepted the answer Lance sat down in the chair against the wall, "Wolverine wants us in the Danger Room tomorrow to see what we can really do. Should we actually show them what we can do or do you want to hold back? I would vote definitely speaking but I'll leave it up to you two about your powers since they already know mine, just not all of them."
Seeing Todd open his mouth Lance anticipated the question and cut him off, "It won't really interfere because I wanted to go in the afternoon anyway, the services are usually better and the weather should be nicer."
Todd was still the first to speak in a serious tone, "I think it's time we show the X-Geeks what we really have, the adults have been pretty good t us so even if I still dislike those others I would say that we owe Storm, Xavier, Logan, and Beast."
Pietro nodded his head as he listened to Todd, "I agree, if we really want their help staying away form Fa...Magneto then it would probably be best to inspire a little trust by showing them what has developed, especially considering how we were ordered not to."
"Good, that's what I was thinking as well, but I wanted to get your opinions. So, I believe it's agreed we do it full out tomorrow."
He watched the other two nod and a dark smirk slid over Lance's face as he laughed, "Well, let's just knock the X-Geeks on their ass."
Both Todd and Pietro laughed as well, knowing that the other mutants wouldn't believe what they were seeing, the supposed losers, the brotherhood, kicking some major ass.
The Next Morning
The three Brotherhood member awoke to a rapping on the door, opening it Lance
found Beast standing outside holding three boxes, "Logan told me you were doing a danger room session today so I brought some uniforms."
Lance nodded stiffly accepting the three boxes and retreating back inside the room opening the three boxes. He immediately recognized the black uniforms from the few days he had stayed at the mansion before.
Pietro wrinkled his nose in disgust as he held up the garment, "There's no way in hell you will ever catch me wearing this ....THING."
The other two teens smirked at the utter disgust Pietro was displaying but they both nodded in agreement; Lance walked over to his own bag as Todd and Pietro walked over to theirs. Lance pulled out his clothes, Pietro some clothes, scissors, and a needle, and Todd pulled out a box full of other implements.
They didn't necessarily have money for clothes so they had learned to easily alter cheap clothes to fit them better, or to actually make a statement rather then looking like Summers.
They had exactly two hours and they quickly went to work, changing the uniforms brought into something they would actually wear.
Exactly two hours later Beast returned knocking on the door again; when Lance opened it he raised one blue eyebrow but otherwise made no comment on the new clothing they were wearing. Pietro smirked as the three followed the older mutant towards the danger room.
Beast left them at the door and headed up towards the control room where he found the older X-teens as well as Storm, Wolverine, and the Professor. Gambit and Pyro were against the wall watching the younger X-men with careful eyes. Perched on Gambit's shoulder was a black cat with intelligent eyes that seemed to watch the proceedings with a knowledge that shouldn't be there.
Once he entered he nodded at Wolverine and the feral mutant immediately opened the doors to the large silver room. Everyone's eyes widened as the three entered, they looked different then they had ever seen them before.
Lance was wearing a pair of dark brown, soft brushed pants topped with a clingy black turtleneck shirt. His eyes were covered by a pair of black aviator glasses, his feet clad in a pair of heavy duty black military boots. A black ear clip was on one ear and his hair fell around his face.
Pietro followed him having cut the black spandex as a long sleeve shirt underneath a vibrant blue open shirt with short sleeves and a pair of black cargo pants over some dark boots. Each wrist was covered in a black wrist cuff, and his hair was entirely slicked away, the near white hair reflecting the lights.
Todd was the last to enter wearing a pair of fitted khaki like slacks and the black ripped X-uniform over it with a clingy green top and hugged his top half. His normally shaggy hair was pulled back into a small ponytail. His hands were covered by forest green half-gloves with a few chains falling across the fingers.
Together they stood in the center of the room and looked up at the control room, Lance spoke, "Feel free to start whenever you want; are we aiming to disable or kill?"
The Professor flipped a few switches and set the dial to a medium low level to begin and spoke into the microphone, "Aim to disable. Simulation beginning....NOW."
Below them the metal shimmered away and a rocky landscape appeared. The three teens immediately fell into a formation and with a look between the began to move forward as a pack.
Lance watched the front, Pietro, the left and Todd the back, with a slight nod from Lance they began to move forward into the simulation. They held almost a feral pack quality as they moved, staying low and not allowing any openings for possible attacks.
Suddenly Lance threw up his hand and two rock figures sprung from the ground in front of him, and they immediately took the back of the party protecting the three. With a small wince as pain shot through his head he shook it off and continued forward.
Almost immediately Lance shot out a tremor at one of the walls, and with a gesture Pietro sped forward and up the wall immediately grabbing the figure from the top and throwing him towards the ground. Concentrating he looked at the figure and it immediately froze before hitting the ground.
Turning he swung a wide hand and immediately halted the rest of the creature's party that had appeared sending them all to the same fate. They all tried to rise but it seemed like they were moving through mud as they tried to stand.
With a nod to Todd, the smaller teen stepped forward and cut his finger on a fang that had suddenly appeared in his mouth. With a wave of his arm and a look from Pietro all the figures were splattered with a few drops of his blood and they immediately fell.
A computerized voice came on overhead, "LEVEL CLEARED, NEW TIME RECORD SET."
All the mutants in the control room with the exception of Gambit and Pyro were shocked into silence. The Professor turned off the machine, the room below them immediately going back to it's metallic appearance of before.
The three turned towards the control room and Lance spoke coldly and directly at those inside it, "See who we really are, no longer are we the same, allow us to reintroduce ourselves, I am Terre."
Pietro stepped forward next, "I am Veloc."
Todd was the last to speak a hissing sound still present, but only as an undertone, "And I am Ssserpen."
A smirk appeared on Pyro and Gambit as they strode from the room headed towards the doors to the danger room, the cat jumping off of Gambit's shoulder changing into Mystique before she even hit the floor. Together the three waited for the newly named brotherhood members to exit.
