Chapter 9: Confrontation
Mercury looked to where Storm was pointing. "What is that? It looks like a white blur."
Storm smiled and rose to the sky. "That's Quicksilver."
Mercury followed Storm by jumping on rooftops, as they followed the unsuspecting mutant.
********************************************************************************
Quicksilver kept up his search. 'I've about had it.' He complained to himself. 'Father and that thing have been driving me to the bone.'
He slowed to a walk. 'Why are they so interested in that thing? That's it, I give up, I'll just gather the brotherhood and tell Father we couldn't find anything. Hopefully, they won't know that I didn't look at all.'
He started off running again, intent on finding his team.
********************************************************************************
Mercury and Storm watched as Quicksilver slowed to a slow walk and then speed up again.
Mercury looked worried, "Do you think he knows we're following him?"
Storm looked thoughtful, "I don't know, but we should probably call the others just to be on the safe side."
Mercury nodded and followed closely behind as Storm continued to follow their lead.
********************************************************************************
Quicksilver and the rest of the brotherhood stood in front of Magneto and Virgus.
"Are you sure you didn't find anything?" Magento asked agitated.
They shook their heads 'no.'
"Are you sure you looked?!" Virgus said, none too calmly.
A silent 'yes' was his answer.
********************************************************************************
Little did they know, the X-men and a Sailor Star was watching and listening closely on their conversation.
"You think their telling the truth?" Wolverine asked.
"I have no idea." Cyclops said.
Mercury nodded. "We'll just have to keep our ears open."
********************************************************************************
Over his shoulder, Virgus heard almost silent whispering. 'It seems we have company.'
********************************************************************************
Professor Xavier heard Virgus' thoughts immediatly, not worrying about being quiet anymore, "HE KNOWS WE'RE HERE!!!"
Just then, Virgus sent a huge blast their way.
********************************************************************************
Virgus growled, disgusted that his targets had all jumped and dodged his blast.
The eavesdroppers landed on the pavement of the narrow alley in which Magneto, Virgus, and the Brotherhood accopied.
Sailor Mercury stood in the front of the X-men.
"I am Sailor Mercury, Soldier of wisdom, and I say in the name of Mercury, I will punish you for your sins against this and my world!"
Virgus smiled as Magneto walked up to stand beside him, and the Brotherhood filed in behind him. "That's what you think, girl."
Ends Chapter 9
