Ok, well before you go on and read this chap I wanna explain something about Nikki (Allerdyce). Some of you ask why she doesn't just get a vision when something bad/dramatic happens lol. Nikki's power isn't as strong as Destiny's, she's barley had it for a year and it hasn't manifested to the extent that Irene's power was. Lol, her power is growing but she can't get a vision just whenever something bad is going on. They come spontaneously, UNLESS she concentrates and tries to urge it (which even if she does won't always happen)…but when it does happens (like it's gonna happen in this chap) she has to be touching an object. Ok…anyone confused? Lol let me know :D Anyhoo hope you like and review this chap ;D
OoOoOoOo Chapter 7 OoOoOoOo
"Wow…they…sound…KICKASS!" Brandon yelled as Bobby told them about the old days when they used to fight their parents.
"Wait…you're saying that their moms feel in love with their dads even though they were on the opposite sides?" Rachel asked.
Tabitha nodded, "Yeah, not being on opposite sides, not having girlfriends or boyfriends stopped them from getting together…"
"AWWWW That's like sooo sweet!" Caitlin gushed while looking at Chris with a huge sweet smile. Chris stared at her and smiled back, Odile who was sitting across from them watched the exchange and didn't understand why she was all of a sudden feeling sick. In her hand was a card and she started twirling it around her fingers. Pierre watched his sister and then looked to where she was looking, he perked and eyebrow and searched her feelings. He found at what he felt, as he was about to whisper something in her ear she quickly got up.
She stared walking away but before she did the card she was holding fell on to the desk in the middle of the room.
"Where are yah going?" Etienne asked as he watched her leave.
"Ta play…" she answered in a voice sharper than usual. "Ah saw a library yesterday while up in de second floor…" she responded without turning and left out of the room. Etienne got up to follow her only to stop after taking a couple of steps.
"Let 'er go…" Pierre commanded.
"Mais…"
"Jus let 'er go…she wants ta be alone so let 'er…"
Etienne nodded but stayed where he was. Chris from where he was sitting next to Caitlin had begun to rise to follow but stopped when he saw that as Pierre spoke he looked at him. He sat back down and Caitlin started talking to him so he directed his attention on her. As the talked the group conversation was over and everyone broke off into groups and started talking about different subjects.
"What's up with her?" Ben asked walking up to Pierre who was now looking at the empty doorway.
"Not sure…" he answered and turned his attention on Etienne who stilled hadn't moved in inch.
Nikki looked at Etienne and then at the card Odile had thrown on the desk, Queen of Diamonds. She turned to look at Chris who was looking as if he was paying lost of attention to Caitlin but once in a while his eyes would roam to the door. Nikki then got up and headed towards the table to pick up the card and give it to Etienne. Her hand barley touched the card and suddenly she felt the common feeling of a vision coming on…
Her eyes blurred and she felt herself being pulled into the image. When she blinked she was back in the X-men's Rec room. "Someone's here…" she remarked in a loud voice making everyone stare at her.
"What?" Bobby asked her.
"Some other people are here…" she answered.
Jamie looked at her curiously, "Where?" he asked believing her by the seriousness of her face. Nikki's response was looking up at the ceiling. Seconds later Pierre, Chris and Etienne ran out the door…as Oldie's screamed.
OoOoOoOo X-Jet OoOoOoOo
"Can't this thing go any faster?" Rogue asked aggravated.
"No…we're sorry but we're going as fast as we can," Scott answered keeping his focus on the black sky ahead of him.
Lexa was sitting next to Pietro, her feet bouncing up and down as her nerves went crazy. Pietro put his hand on her knee making her turn to him. She stopped and leaned her face into his chest wanting it all to be a dream…a dream she could wake up from.
Rogue started pacing around the jet making everyone get really nervous, if she got frustrated enough to hit anything they might be goners depending on what she'd hit.
"Ah can't take it anymore!" she yelled and turned and looked at Remy who's eyes never left her impatient body. She walked over to him and looked straight into his red on black orbs.
"Ah'm going…" she told him softly. As Remy looked into her determined eyes he knew that there was no point in arguing. He kissed her softly on the lips and then answered with,
"Den wat are Y' waiting for?"
She gave him a small smile before walking over to the button that would open the jet door but before she could push it the door opened by itself. She looked at it surprised and turned to see Magneto with his hand raised at it. He then along with Mystique who turned into a raven and rested on his shoulder for a couple of seconds walked towards her.
"We better go now before it's too late," he told her and flew out as mystique left his shoulder and also flew ahead. Rogue looked momentarily surprised but soon came to her senses and followed.
Everything in the X-jet was quiet until Elisabeth broke the silence, "Warren…" without letting her finish Warren walked over to the open jet door and walked out as his wings stretched into the air.
Storm got up and looked outside, before flying out she turned to look at the people who were watching her. "Close the hanger door, the jet will go faster…" she advised before dropping back outside.
Jean closed the door much to almost everyone's pleasure since the air was really cold outside and it flew in while the door had been opened.
"Do you think they'll make it in time?" Kitty asked to no one in particular.
"They better, "Wanda answered her eyes narrowed at the sky ahead where the figures of those that had flown away was slowly fading away.
OoOoOoOo X-Mansion OoOoOoOo
Pierre and the other two younger boys made a run for the stairs but stopped as they saw people waiting for them at the bottom.
"Merde…" Pierre mumbled under his breath.
"Who the hell are they?" Chris asked.
"The Nasty Boys…" the three turned to see Bobby had followed them and was looking at the new people in front of. As Hairbag smiled Bobby transformed completely into ice making the nasty boys present pay attention to him only, making them never notice the small orange bombs being slid at their feet.
As the loud 'Boom' was heard all the action started and everything turned chaotic.
Jamie looked at Danielle, "Danielle take care of the younger ones," he told her as he looked at the 7 year olds and younger who were looking around trying to figure out what was happing.
"But what about…"
"I'll be fine…just get their heads out of here, "Jamie told her knowing she was worried about. Danielle reluctantly nodded and turned back to the kids, as she looked at them she stared putting images of a happy green field into their heads…where it was safe.
While she did that Jamie multiplied himself and firmed a circle around her and the youngest children, "You guys think you can handle some of the work?" he asked the teens around knowing that he was going to e very preoccupied taking care of the others.
"Don't worry about us," Brandon answered as the nasty boys trapped them in the rec room. Rachel stood in the middle of the room reading the minds of the enemies trying to find out who would strike where. While she was doing this she failed to notice a large purple goop head right towards her, as she turned around and saw it about to go all over her a quick breeze came by. When she opened her eyes she found herself on the other side of the room looking at Brian's back as he stood in front of her in a protecting manner.
"Thanks…" she mumbled while looking at the purple creep who had now turned his attention to Nikki.
Nikki looked around for a weapon, she knew she was Gorgeous George's next target. She found a candlestick in the shelf behind her and grabbed it then skillfully twisted around in her hand. Just because her only power was to see the future didn't mean she was vulnerable, actually that just means that her father spends more time showing her self-defense. She quickly got into a pose as he cynically smirked and rushed towards her, his tar like body spreading as he neared her. Nikki inhaled and was about to strike when…he stopped. Gorgeous George's form stopped right in front off her.
"What are you waiting for? Do it?" his voice commanded making her eyes widened in shock that the enemy wanted her to give him a good hit. That's when she realized someone was standing besides her; she turned and looked at Etienne who was standing next to her. His head was down looking at the ground and he was motionless, that's when she looked at the ugly man in front of her with shock.
"ETIENNE?" she asked.
"Do it now! I won't be able t hold him forever…" came the strained voice. Nikki nodded while taking a deep breath, she then brought her leg in a pitch kick and after making contact with the body brought her hand up quickly and smacked the side of Gorgeous George's face with the thick candlestick. Before his body could even begin to tilt a leg came up and hit the body on the side. Nikki quickly turned to the side to see that Etienne had given the blow making George hit the floor only to look up seconds later with a confused look on his head.
"Come on," Etienne told her and grabbed her hand to quickly get out of the rage full nasty boy. As they ran by the passed Ben who was fighting with a pretty young looking blonde woman.
"Well aren't you a cutie…" Vertigo crooned in a seductive way towards the 16 year old boy.
"Thanks…I think," he answered as she neared. He started stepping back as she got near.
"What's wrong? Scared?" she asked noticing his movements.
"Not really…it's just my mom raised me with an important rule in my head…"
"And what's that? Never hit ladies? Or never talk to strangers?" Vertigo mocked.
"Actually, it was never talk to sluts," he answered and his hands glowed a blue color under the mattress Vertigo was standing on. It lifted up and knocked her onto the floor.
'Bang Bang Bang' nearby Ben turned to see Pierre holding a pool stick fighting with a short man with a stick that started changing shape. He looked around looking for his siblings and found Nikki with Etienne distracting a man with a huge purple hand heading towards them. Matt was with Danielle…only one thought went through his head as he looked throughout the room, 'Where the hell is Chris?'
OoOoOoOo Upstairs OoOoOoOo
Odile did a couple of back flips as an Asian woman wearing all black tried putting very sharp looking nails through her.
'Great time for meh to go off alone' she thought sarcastically as the nails barley missed her.
"Lady Deathstrike…we have trouble downstairs," a very hairy man interrupted them making the older woman stop her attack and look at the big fur ball annoyed.
"What do you mean trouble?" she asked dangerously.
"They're overpowering us…" he answered making her growl.
"Their IN DIAPERS for gods sake," she yelled and stared walking towards down stairs, "Take care of her…" as Odile heard this she sped down the hallway she was in. Hairbag persuaded her until she cornered herself in a dark room. She walked back against a wall looking frightened as Hairbag walked into the room passing the doors.
Odile suddenly stopped looking sacred as he got closer and just stood staring at him. "Y' have no idea what our powers are…do yah?" she asked him as he reached the middle of the room. He tilted his head sideways throwing her a questioningly expression.
She only smiled a smile that reminded Hairbag a lot of Rogue when she was up to no good. The next thing he noticed was how every book inside the small library started vibrating.
"Being in a library with a petite fille dat's not in a good mood and knows how to manipulate paper aint good…sugah," she answered as her eyes turned into narrow slits and as pages from books started ripping out head straight for Hairbag, in a dagger motion. Instead of sticking around and making sure that he was hit, Odile's ran out of the room with a book in hand and headed downstairs.
When she got back down stairs she found chaos as a really large man went running past her towards the Maximoff twins.
"Freeze him!" Brian yelled. Odile watched as Brandon's mouth opened, she blinked and the next thing she knew was that the large bald man was now on the floor with Brandon dusting his hands off.
"Odile, You're OK!" Nikki exclaimed and went over to her.
"Of course," she answered happily and both girls grabbed on to each other's arms.
"So where's Chris?"
Odile looked confused. "What do you mean where's Chris?" OoOoOoOo upstairs OoOoOoOo
Chris sighed and felt like slamming his head into a wall. Just his luck to go looking for Odile on the wrong side of the mansion.
'I was sure she was on that side…' he thought to himself but was suddenly startled as he heard noise from a room nearby. He quickly got into fighting pose and slowly walked towards the room where it was coming from.
He slowly got near the opening and then…
"Ahhh!" Chris yelled at the same time someone else did.
"Shit kid…don't scare me like that," Jamie yelled. Chris was to busy trying to catch his breath he didn't realize what Jamie had just said wasn't like him at all.
"You just gave me a heart attack…hey how did you get up here?" Chris asked.
"Uh…I walked…you?"
"I came up through a vent…you walked up here? What about those bad dudes down there?"
"They're good sneaky guys, but I got pass them."
"Great, maybe you can multiply and help me look for Odile."
"Uh…nope."
"Huh?"
"We don't have to, I found her."
"You did? Where is she?"
"Come one I'll show you," he answered cheerfully and walked towards the library.
OoOoOoOo downstairs OoOoOoOo
"Isn't he with you?" Nikki asked.
"Does it look like he's with me?" Odile asked looking around.
"No not AHHHHH…" Nikki yelled as the Gorgeous George wrapped himself around her body. Odile jumped back out of surprise and quickly tore pages out of the book in her hands. Without hesitation she threw them at the large purple tar like body but they just sticked to him.
"Crap," Odile mumbled to herself. Seconds later a large pole hit Gorgeous George in the head but that didn't do anything either. "Well that was a really big help," she told her older brother rolling her eyes as he gave her a glare. Before he could make a snappy comeback though Gorgeous George started freezing over making both Lebeau's eyes almost pop out.
"What the…" Pierre turned to see Iceman using his powers on him.
"Move," he told them and Tabitha appeared next to him and easily made to little bombs by blowing into her hand.
"What about Nikki?" Odile asked worriedly.
"She'll be just fine…we just wanna freak George out," Boom Boom answered letting her little explosions rolls to the ice cube that was now Gorgeous George. Tabitha's theory was right because right after the explosion the purple goop got off a dazed Nikki Allerdyce.
"Nikki you ok?" Ben asked coming up behind her.
"Chris is upstairs…" she answered. Before she could say anything Odile quickly turned and ran off yelling behind her shoulder 'I'll get him', then she was gone.
"Wa…it" Odile didn't here Nikki. She then turned to Iceman but before she did she gave a glance at Multiple who still had copies of himself surrounding Danielle and the others.
"Iceman…"
"Yeah?"
"Who's Morph?"
OoOoOoOo Upstairs OoOoOoOo
"CHRIS?" Odile yelled as she reached the top of the stirs.
"Odile?" a voice called from the far end of one of the halls.
"Chris?" she asked turning to the right and going straight, a couple seconds later she heard footsteps in front of her but it was to dark to know who it was. She was about to attack when she heard Chris familiar voice.
"Odile? Hey I was looking for you," he said happily going into the light letting her see him. Odile smiled and saw that Chris was alone. Her smile faded though as she saw multiple.
"Multiple…how did you get up here? I just saw you down…" Odile however didn't finish her sentence as she noticed Jamie's body start changing. A man with black hair smiled at her.
"Chris…" before she could tell him she fell numb and onto the floor. Chris was about to move forward towards her, when he smelled the knock out gas; it was too late…for both of them.
OoOoOoOo Downstairs OoOoOoOo
Minutes later after Bobby explained who Morph was and as the other were about to run off after Odile but a crashing noise was heard at the same moment and many metal objects suddenly started levitating in the air.
"What the?" Ben mumbled but his confusion disappeared as he saw his grandfather fly in closely followed by Mystique and Angel who arrived and right away went into work at kicking butt.
Rogue slowly landed on the ground and looked around, her eyes landed on Vertigo who at the moment looked like she was ready to strike Storm who had her attention on Ruckus. She grabbed the nearest thing she could find which just happened to be a very expensive looking vase and threw it at the blonde who was getting ready to attack Storm behind her back. Vertigo turned as the vase hit the spot in front of her causing a big hole in the wall besides her, here eyes were opened wide. Rogue wasn't sure it was out of fright or surprised.
"Well well, looks like the cavalry has arrived…Rogue…" she greeted the white striped woman.
"Bitch," Rogue responded.
Vertigo gave a small chuckle as the others kept fighting and Rogue slowly made her way towards the smirking blonde.
"Ruckus!" Vertigo yelled to the curly haired man who got up from an attack from Storm and faced her. Rogue's eyes widened knowing what Vertigo was going to make him do and flew over to her as a fast as she could. As Rogue headed towards her Vertigo gave Ruckus a slight nod and turned back to Rogue only to see that she was less then seconds away from her.
Her eyes widened in fright as Rogue hand stretched in front of her. Rogue's fist stopped an inch away from Vertigo as a piercing sound reached her ears making her stop everything she was doing and fall onto her knees.
Everyone else but the nasty boys did that same. They fell to their knees and covered their ears. Rogue did this and had her eyes closed. Vertigo smiled at them all, she and the Nasty Boys had specially made earplugs that allowed them to hear everything around them but that would cancel Ruckus vocal waves when used against enemies.
Vertigo slowly got to Rogue's eye level and lifted the southern beauty's face to look at hers. She pulled one of Rogue's hands away and leaned into her.
"You were to late oh great leader of the ministry. Tell Lexy that I've learned the definition of 'mercy'. I didn't use it on Destiny…and I won't use it on them either…" with that she got up cynically smirking and a giant purple portal opened behind her.
She started walking backwards into it, looking at Rogue's face, which held an expression between hate and pain.
The other Nasty Boy members started walking into the portal.
"Hmm…you feel pain now…this is just the beginning," Vertigo mumbled while she and Ruckus disappeared in the portal at the same time.
When the left the sound went with them. Christina started crying as she looked around, she was confused and scared. Brandon walked over to her and hushed her softly while lifting her up.
"It's ok…mommy's almost coming home," he told her as Brian went to check on Alexandra.
Rogue quickly got up and looked around. "Where's 'Dile?" she asked looking at Pierre.
Pierre looked around and then through the door that lead into the hallway and then the stairs. Rogue sighed and quickly went throw the door. Everything in the rec room was silent, so silent Rogue's footsteps on the stairs could be heard.
Rogue looked around when she reached the top, waiting as if someone was about to pop out. She looked from side to side wondering which way to turn, as if feeling something call to her she turned right.
She walked straight but then came to a complete stop when something on the floor caught her eyes. Cards…they were all facing upward with the numbers and faces looking at her…all except one. Rogue bended down and grabbed it. When she looked at it her heart stopped…the queen of diamonds…
OoOoOoOo later OoOoOoOo
All the adults that were on the x-jet rushed out getting people trampled on the way off and as they entered the mansion.
Everyone was in the Rec Room, sitting on the floor, on the couches, or just standing up leaning on the walls.
"Well, you guys look like hell," X-23 told them then got nudge on the ribs by Pietro.
"You guys ok?" he asked Brain and Brandon. Brandon nodded slowly so he wouldn't wake Christina who was sleeping on his chest with tearstains on her cheek. Alexandra on the other hand just opened her eyes and then re-closed them; her head was leaning on Brains shoulder as the four sat on a long couch.
"Where's yo mere?" Remy asked Pierre and Etienne who both had their heads in their hands. They didn't say anything, Natalie and Nathaniel looked up at their father, then at each other and then at the floor. Remy looked at them questionably but then watched as Anna Marie got up and softy grabbed his fathers hand and started dragging him out of the room.
Wanda looked at his kids and noticed that none of them would look her in the eyes. She gave them a glance and then followed Remy and Anna. John was going to go after her but stopped when he heard the soft angelic voice.
"He's gone…" he turned to look at Nikki.
"Who's gone?" he asked.
"Chris…" Ben answered in a low voice. John stared at them with an expressionless face, the followed Wanda.
"Warren what…" Betts didn't finish asking the question because Warren shook his head signaling not to say anything. Sitting in the floor next to him were Rory and Victoria who looked deep in thought. Her wings kept fluttering showing that she was nervous. Betts nodded understanding and just sat down by her family.
Jubilee and Amara went to get Trini and Amelia while their husbands went to Bobby about to ask why everyone was so gloomy.
OoOoOoOo Upstairs OoOoOoOo
Anna Marie led her dad on to the second floor and pointed in the direction where her mom could be found. She then let go of his hand and headed back downstairs without saying a word. Remy watched her go and saw that Wanda was coming up while John was barley getting out of the Rec room looking dazed.
"Something bad happened…" Wanda murmured as she reached the Cajun.
"What makes y' say dat?" Remy asked knowing that something was terrible wrong. He could feel Rogue's pain from all they way to where he was. Wanda didn't answer; she just looked down the dark hallway, knowing she wasn't going to like what she found. Remy started walking again and finally stopped at the end of the hallway.
Rogue was sitting on her knees, her eyes were focused on a window in front of her and she didn't move, not even when Remy kept calling her name. He went to her and crouched down next to her.
"Mon amor…talk to Remy…" he whispered to her softly. Wanda stood behind them and looked at them but then turned her attention on the window Rogue was so fascinated by. John finally reached them and looked at both girls.
"Oh…I guess you've heard…look Wanda I swear we'll do all we can to get Chris back…"
"WHAT?" Wanda asked and snapped her head to her red haired lover.
"Uh…" John didn't finish since Wanda then hexed Remy out of the way and crouched by Rogue and then grabbed her by the shoulders to face her.
"Rogue what HAPPENED?"
"Ah…was too late…" she answered in a low whisper. "Ah couldn't stop them…" she continued with watery eyes. "And now their gone…they have her…and…"Rogue didn't finish because at the moment her face landed on Wanda's shoulder and she sobbed. Wanda stood dead still, not even showing signs that she knew Rogue was crying on her.
"Odile…" Remy whispered as John and himself watched their wives.
OoOoOoOo Downstairs OoOoOoOo
"I'm such a dumbfuc…"
"Shut up," Nikki told Ben. "Yelling and blaming you won't solve anything or bring them back…"
"C'est all mon fault…" Pierre mumbled to himself.
"Didn't yah just hear her? Anyway it's not yahr fault…we couldn't have stopped her even if we wanted tah…"
"Non…dis is all my fault…I'm de one that let her go off alone to begin with…if she hadn't gone…den maybe…"
"What does it matter who's fault it is…it has been done," Lexa snapped at them. She was leaning of the doorway waiting for Rogue and Wanda to come down. She would have gone up to them but Pietro kept holding her back telling her that this wasn't the best time to go.
Betts, who was pacing around the room almost digging a hole in the floor looked up as footsteps were heard coming down the stairs. Lexa straighten herself and looked at two people she had admired since she was young.
"Rogue…"
"Ah want him Lex…and ah want him dead…" Rogue told her in a low voice so only the ex MoE member could hear.
"And you know I would do it for you…but right now we don't even know where to look," she answered in the same tone of voice.
"Plus we don't want them to hurt the young ones," Betts added as she joined them making the MoE circle.
"He's going to try anyways," she answered back.
"Not if he needs them," Wanda responded.
"You guys we're making it seem like we have a plan when we don't…we don't even know where to look for him," Betts told them.
'Not Exactly…' the four turned to look at Emma who walked in but spoke to them in their minds.
"You mean…" Lexa started with a smile.
"Yup…" Emma answered and brought up a dirty looking piece of paper. "Good thing Hairbag's an idiot…" she stretched her hand forward for one of them to take it. Wanda and rogue reached the paper at the same time and looked at each other. Both then grabbed a corner to the paper and when they saw what it was they gave a small smirk with a glint in their eyes.
"Lets go…" Rogue snapped and quickly turned. Wanda, Betts, Emma and Lex followed without saying anything or even looking at the other people in the rec room.
"Uh…what just happened?" Jubilee asked looking at the four men that knew the women who left better than anyone else.
"Je ne sais pas…"
"No clue…"
"Dunno…"
Pietro shrugged and all four of them just looked at the doors, which were closely closing.
OoOoOoOo elsewhere OoOoOoOo
A drinking glass hit the wall with tremendous speed and strength.
"UNDERSTOOD?"
"Yes my lord…it won't happen again…" Vertigo answered looking at the floor and then quickly left the room.
"What's up?" Ruckus asked as she passed the nasty boys in the hall.
"Change of plans…leave the brats alive…for now. We have bigger fish to fry," she answered in an acid voice and kept walking.
"What do you think happened?" George asked Ruckus who shrugged and followed the blonde.
OoOoOoOo darkroom nearby OoOoOoOo
Chris pressed his ear to the door, "Sounds like they're leaving…"
Odile was a couple feet away hugging herself trying to stay warm.
"You ok?" Chris asked noticing how quite she was.
Odile nodded, "Just thinking…"
"I'm sorry…" Chris told her after a while of awkward silence.
"For what?" she asked surprised.
"It's my fault they got you…if you hadn't gone looking for me you'd be out of harms way…"
"Shut up…" she told him cutting him off and making him look at her shocked. "It was 'MY' choice to try and play hero…I'm here because of me…" she told him in a quiet but firmed voice. They both stayed quiet and Odile leaned her head on the cold wall with her eyes closed. She opened them though went she felt a hand touch her face.
"Wha?" she asked Chris as he put her face to rest on his Shoulder.
He shrugged, "I think my shoulder's more comfortable then the wall…" he mumbled and looked ahead of them avoiding eye contact. Odile smiled and kept her head where he put. After a couple of minutes she broke the silence…
"Chris…"
"Hmm…"
"Did we eva get a divorce?"
Chris looked down at Odile startled and curious as the sudden flashback of them being forced into marriage returned. He softly chuckled, "No…I don't think so…" he answered smiling for the first time since they'd been there. Things got quiet again but he finally couldn't resist and asked why she had asked.
She smiled and shrugged, "Ah jus wanted tah lighten up de mood ah guess…" After that the dark room got in a comfortable as both visited the days of the past.
OoOoOoOo X-Mansion OoOoOoOo
"Doesn't anyone else think that finding a map with Sinisters location is a little fishy?" Betts asked as they headed towards the hanger to leave.
"Duh! This just yells trap, but what other way to get to Sinister then too turn the tables on the trap," Lexa answered with a smirk. Betts sighed and just continued walking until they reached the X-jet and got in. They all however crowded the doorway when they saw Emma not get in.
"Aren't you coming?" Wanda asked her.
"No…I'm gonna go back and tell the X-men about what's going on and we'll join you in a while…I'm an X-men now guys…and we have rules," she answered with a smile.
Betts looked at Emma and started getting of the jet but was stopped by the white queen herself, "No…you go Betts."
"But Luv, you just said…"
" I know…but I was talking about myself. You need to go, because after all Sinister wants payback against you too. You guys are strong alone…but when you're together…nothing can defeat you…" she answered as she finished the pep talk and walked away having them look after her.
"She taught us well…" Lexa remarked with a smirk and walked inside being followed by the others except Betts who stared after Emma a bit longer.
After Elisabeth got in and all the things were ready for them to take off the door to the X-jet opened and in barged in about a dozen people.
"What the…" Lexa mumbled as Pietro walked in. "What are you doing here? You know what answer that later what are THEY doing here?" she asked her husband eyeing their kids who were outside of the jet looking ready to come in.
"We wanna know what the heck is going on," Pietro answered walking over to her.
"Nothing we can't handle now leave," Wanda told her brother and the rest of them. The teenagers awed as the husbands just look intently at the women they loved.
"Wat is goin on?" Remy asked Rogue sternly.
"Nothing…get off the jet Remy. This is between us and them."
"And know Remy's a part of it too…I became a part of it from the moment I married you!"
Before Rogue could respond Betts turned and face the teenagers and children, "There's no way we're going with all of you tagging a long…this is going to be a dangerous battle and none of you are welcomed!" As soon as she finished saying that everything went into an uproar and people were yelling everywhere. The fighting continued until two hands came up and down at a fast pace, as the lowered everything got silent.
Brandon looked around at everyone then touched his brother making his time freeze spell break on him.
"What did you…mom's gonna KILL you!"
"Get the younger kids far into a safe place away from the jet," he told Brian.
"But…"
"Just do IT!" Brandon yelled at him and made his way to the control panels making sure not to touch anyone knowing that if he did he'd be screwed. While he did that Brian went to work on getting the kids with no powers yards away from the jet. When he finished he went back into the jet where Brandon closed the jet door and looked a handle with great interest.
"What are you…" Brain didn't get to finish as Brandon pushed the handle down making the engines start. The X-jet started moving and soon the hanger opened letting it rise into the sky.
"AHHH what are you waiting for get the controls," Brain yelled at his twin who looked a bit sheepishly.
"uh…hehe…I don't know how to fly a plane…" Brandon answered rubbing his neck like he saw his father do sometimes when he pissed of their moms.
"IDIOT!" Brain yelled and then both yelled and held on to each other as the jet started going down, and fast.
As they closed their eyes and got ready to hit they felt the plane pick itself up and looked up to see Rogue with the controls in her hands.
"Whew…that was close…" Brandon mumbled and then got smacked on the head. He looked up to see Sapphire eyes.
"What the hell was THAT?" Pietro asked angrily as Lexa and Wanda watched. Remy and John on the other hand checked to see who was there and made sure everyone was ok.
"Should we take them back?" Rogue asked from where she was.
"Non, dere's no point in it…et who knows…they might be of good use," Remy answered as he looked at the stowaways.
"Fihne…but don't think yahr all gonna get off easy when we're done," Rogue answered getting a lot of sighs and people plopping down in seats.
OoOoOoOo Sinisters Base OoOoOoOo
Soft footsteps and hushed voices were talking rapidly…
"I can't believe it…all the work for shit…"
"It's not her fault…how would we have know?"
"You're just saying that cause you hit it every night," George told Ruckus only to get elbowed.
"Shhh…they're sleeping," Ruckus told him while they looked through the little window with bars on the door.
Gorgeous George unlocked it and then started leaving while Ruckus shut the small window. "Come on…Sinister said we should be expecting company when he told me what happened." Ruckus nodded and followed after unlocking the lock hatch.
OoOoOoOo X-jet OoOoOoOo
Everything was quiet and people just looked at each other then stared away.
"So…" Rogue said nodding a bit as she looked at everyone, Remy had taken her spot and was now piloting the jet.
"Ye…ah…" Wanda added.
"Mmhmm…" Lexa mumbled.
"Ri…ght," Betts finished as the three tried stopping the silence.
"We're here!" Remy answered and landed the jet as the four impatient women yelled a 'finally' and popped up their seats. When the got off their were four different pathways.
"What way?" John asked looking at the map the girls had obtained. Wanda shrugged and looked around.
"We're going to have to split up," Warren answered getting nods from the others. "Okay so, we should go…" Warren started assigning teams but stopped when he saw Betts, Rogue, Wanda and Lexa head in one direction.
"Hey where are you Shelia's going?"
"This way…you guys go which ever way you want," Wanda answered, as the four didn't even bother looking back.
"Uh…o…k…" Warren once again started dividing the groups when Pierre, Ben, Etienne, and Nikki went of in the direction they wanted to go. John sniggered at the fact that no one was listening to Warren but he then got nudged by Pietro who told him to shut up. Remy rolled his eyes and then watched as Brandon, Brain and Victoria left in the opposite direction leaving the four grown men alone.
"So much for dividing everyone up…" Warren mumbled.
Pietro shrugged, "looks like we're going this way then…" he remarked looking at the path that everyone else left them.
"Look like it…lets go," John answered getting his lighter out ready for whatever might be waiting for them. Remy also took out his cards and started shuffling…after a while that was all they could hear. Each other's footsteps and the shuffling of cards.
OoOoOoOo Brandon's group OoOoOoOo
"So what are we looking for?" Victoria asked as she flew behind the two Maximoff boys.
Brain shrugged and tapped his finger impatiently wanting to run off.
"For Dile and Chris I guess," Brandon answered while he's eyes scanned the area around them.
"You know what? Let me look around, it'll talk less than 5 minutes," Brain mumbled getting bored as the other two made small talk.
"Go for it," Brain answered and watched hid twin take off.
"WA…it…are you sure that was a good idea?" Victoria asked Brandon reluctantly.
Brandon shrugged, "does it matter now? It's been doing." Hr answered and kept walking with her following in the air.
Victoria shook her head and rolled her eyes, " Boys…" she mumbled.
OoOoOoOo Etienne's Group OoOoOoOo
"Man this place gives meh the creeps…" Etienne remarked.
"Chicken…" Pierre answered and kept walking besides Ben.
"Do you think they're even here?"
"Who?"
"The bad dudes…"
"If dere not we screwed…"
"Can yah try thinin positive?" Etienne growled annoyed.
Nikki who was with them stayed quiet and would stop everyone in a while. She was paying any attention to the older boys; her attention was more towards trying to get some kind of vision. She would touch the walls trying to edge one on.
"Hey…which way should we go?"
Nikki's head snapped up and looked at her older brother who had spoken. He was talking about the fork in the path they had come to.
"Which way should we turn?" Ben asked.
"Je ne sais pas…" Pierre answered as Etienne turned and looked Nikki who was walking towards the two pathways.
"What are yah…"
"shhh…" Nikki answered and put a hand on the ground in front of the left path.
The three boys stayed quiet as she did the same to the right side. Then they saw it, the dazed look in her eyes.
"Footsteps…" she uttered.
"Quoi?"
"Footsteps…" she answered as her eyes kept their dazed look.
In her head she saw it clearly, four pairs of feet clicking the heels of their feet on the dirty ground. Then came the feet of some being dragged.
"This way…" Nikki mumbled suddenly snapping herself out of the vision and going down the right pathway. The other guys looked at each other wondering if she was right but decided that she was the best they had at the moment so they reluctantly followed.
OoOoOoOo Odile & Chris OoOoOoOo
Odile woke up to footsteps and noticed that Chris was already up and his eyes were intently looking at the steel door.
"Someone's coming…" she told him the obvious getting a small nod from him as he kept his stare on the door.
Odile got up as the footsteps got closer and looked around looking for anything that could be used as a weapon. Chris also got up but didn't bother looking for anything that would help them escape. Odile stop looking around when the familiar sound of the little window on the door opening was heard. The two young mutants looked at sapphire eyes but it was to dark to see anything else. Chris squinted as he looked into the eyes but before he could say anything a hand threw something into the dark prison.
Odile moved out of the way since the objected seemed to be hurled at her. She then got closer and smiled as she saw what it is.
"Breaking out of jail for dummies…" she mumbled and picked up the book. Her eyes glinted with excitement as she brushed her hands through the pages. She looked up at the door and tilted her head, then stretched her hand out and in a heartbeat about a dozen pages flew out of the book and went right through the corners of the steel door.
It soon fell with a loud 'BANG' as the hinges that held it up broke. Chris and Odile walked out only to see four familiar faces.
"Pierre!" Odile yelled and went to give her brother a hug, then got hugged from behind by Etienne. While the Lebeau's had their family reunion Ben smacked Chris on the back and called him an idiot.
"What do you mean Idiot? What did I do?" he complained.
"You got captured by the enemy and stuck in this dump that's what," Ben answered.
"Hey guys…" everyone turned to Nikki. "Did you…know that this door was…unlocked?"
"WHAT? NO IT'S NOT!" Chris yelled but the watched as she moved the lock hatch where the door would be and what it would have looked like if it 'HAD" been locked.
"You're a bigger idiot then I thought," Ben told Chris.
"That was locked when we barley got put there," Odile remarked looking at the lock shocked.
"Well it aint now…" Pierre answered and looked around.
"That's…weird…" Etienne mumbled.
"I'm confused," Chris whined.
"Hmmm…somethin fishy is going on…" Pierre replied and then headed back they way they had come. Everyone looked at him confused but soon followed.
OoOoOoOo MoE OoOoOoOo
The girls had been walking for a couple of minutes when then suddenly stopped in front of a huge building.
"Lexa…"
"Yea…they're in there," she answered without having the question to be asked. Rogue nodded and looked at Wanda and Betts.
"You guys know that it's gonna be a trap…" Betts remarked.
"We know," Wanda answered and walked towards it.
"So…WHY are we going in?" Elisabeth asked.
"We might as well finish this here and now before it gets worse," Lexa answered and walked ahead making Psylocke the last one in line. They all walked inside the large warehouse building and were not at all shocked at what awaited them.
"About damn time…we were beginning to think you got lost," Vertigo mocked as the walked in
"Puh-lease…like I'd miss your disgusting scent anywhere," Lexa answered and got a glare from the blonde.
"Where are our kids?" Rogue asked Deathstrike who was in front of her.
"Don't worry about them…their fine…" she answered.
"For now," Vertigo added with a smug smiled.
Lexa glared at her, "Can you all shut the fuck up?"
"Ouch…aren't you happy your brats aren't here to hear such a potty mouth?" Ruckus asked smartly.
Betts rolled here eyes, "And to think…I didn't think you could have gotten any lamer. Not only are you screwing a slut…but you're bad at making jokes too. No talent what's so ever…"
Ruckus growled at her, "I'll show you talent…" he challenged and opened his mouth but before his piercing scream could be heard a blue light hit him making his crash into a wall. That seemed to have been the starting point for the fight since as soon as it happened Deathstrike made her way to attack Rogue but was stooped by X-23 who got in between.
'Snikt' "lets see if old age has gotten to you Lady D…" she mumbled and soon afterwards there was a lout of clanging noise coming from the metals of Lexa's claws and Yuriko's nails.
After a lot of backfiring blows and kicks they ended up holding each others hands trying to over power one another.
Yuriko smiled at her ex apprentice, "You're getting slow X…is being a mother making you slow?" she asked nastily. Lexa glare at her ex Mentor.
"Not at all," she answered bringing her leg up and kicking Deathstrike in the midriff.
A couple feet away Wanda had Ruckus floating in the air, a blue-lit log stuck in his mouth.
"Try showing us your talent now," she told him while smirking up at him as he tried kicking out of her hold on him. Wanda was to busy gloating she didn't notice the figure watching her from a far.
Elisabeth was also doing a good job blocking all of Ramrods blows with his manipulative wooden stick.
"Why don't ya give up mate? I can read all your thoughts…all of your moves…" Betts told him as psychic knives popped out of her hands.
"No can do…you've been with sinister…you know giving up isn't in out vocabulary," he answered smartly as he tried stabbing her with his weapon.
"Ya well neither is psychotic asshole…which is what you are by the way," she answered countering his attack with her knifes.
"You…just…insulted…yourself," he answered struggling to fight back as she kept advancing towards him.
"No…we might have been once…but that was in the past…" Lexa answered as she bended down to escape from a kick delivered by Yuriko.
"Right…the past…and it's time you remembered who it is you are," Yuriko answered and countered her missed kick by bringing her opposite leg up and knocking X-23 down.
"You can't repeat the past!" Rogue answered as she grabbed Vertigo by the collar and was about to throw her far away but was stopped by Vertigo kicking her in the stomach.
"That's what you think," she answered while throwing punched at the southern belle.
"No, that's what I Know…" Rogue answered while blocking all the punched and then giving Vertigo a punch that knocked her a couple feet back. She the slowly started walking towards the blond who was holding her stomach.
"Then what you know is shit…" Vertigo answered and that's when she brought her hand up with her palm up and blew white powder in to Rogue's face. The process was done to Psylocke and X-23 too.
Wanda was about to do something about it but that's when she felt the tar like body wrap around her body. She opened her eyes wide in shock but before she could act, Gorgeous George blew the snow like powder into her face.
Everything then went black….
OoOoOoOo 30 minutes later OoOoOoOo
"PERE!" Odile yelled and hugged her father.
"Comment Ça va mon petite belle?"
"D'accord…" she answered.
John gave Chris a small pat on the back. "You ok?"
"Yea…they didn't do anything to us."
"Hey…you're back!" Brandon yelled as he and Victoria got there and Brain zoomed by.
"We didn't find anything," Brain told them.
"Ha, we found what we came for," Etienne remarked.
"Ya…" Warren answered but wasn't paying.
Pietro also had his attention elsewhere. "What's up mon ami?" Remy asked his friends.
"Nothing," Pietro answered. Brandon looked at his father and then into the direction he was looking.
"Hey…where's mom?" he asked. Everyone stayed quiet and a feeling of dread overcame Remy, John, Pietro and Warren.
"Something's not right…" Pierre mumbled tapping into his empathy ability.
"What do you…HEY LOOK! THERE THEY COME!" Victoria yelled and waved as figures could be seen nearing. Everyone turned too look.
"Somethin is wrong…" Remy agreed with Pierre.
"What do you mean? That looks like Lex's figure…" Pietro mumbled. Before anyone could answer the question the four walked closer to them, close enough to be seen.
"Yeah, look it is them," John remarked with a smile at the fact that the mission of rescuing the kids had been completed. He watched Wanda and smiled while calling out her name, when she didn't respond was when he started to worry.
Rogue, Scarlet Witch, X-23 and Psylocke stood before them, but their eyes were shut and their faces seemed to be facing the ground.
"Mom?" Victoria asked. Warren was about to walk towards Elisabeth when it was heard. Footsteps…and scratching. Soon they all so what it was, the nasty boys along with Vertigo and Lady Deathstrike appeared behind the girls. All of them smiling cynically.
"What's wrong little X-men…finding something different in mommy?" Vertigo asked with a teasing smile.
"What have you…" Warren didn't finish asking the question because as soon as he spoke a familiar purple portal opened behind the nasty boys and they soon walked in. Vertigo still smiling followed as Lady Deathstrike moved forward to stand besides Rogue. As she did rogue started floating in the air, Wanda's hand became a dark blue, Psylocke's psychic knives slowly crept out of her hands and the familiar 'snkit' was heard.
"Witness…the rebirth of the ministry…of evil…" Yuriko announced as all their head popped up with a venomous look.
"Once…" (Psylocke)
"Evil…" (X-23)
"Always…" (Scarlet Witch)
"Evil." (Rogue)
"Tell Emma that," Deathstrike added as she walked inside the vortex closely followed by Psylocke. Pietro called out to X-23 as she turned her back on them and walked through. Scarlet Witch and Rogue looked at each other, Rogue gave a slight nod and walked into the black hole. Wanda gave a small smirk to the audience she had and with the small movement of their wrist had all the crates around them flying around while glowing blue. They all then suddenly fell from the sky and smashed in front of Remy and the others. When they looked up they were gone…along with the portal.
