Chapter 16
"It's so good of you to join us Genesis." Magneto continued as Sami stood there too stunned to move. Standing in the room along with Magneto were his minions Mystique and Blob. "Don't be shy Sami, come in and say hello to your new family!" Magneto leered at her as she began to slowly back out of the room. Suddenly Toad skidded to a halt behind her and she jumped away from him as Magneto used his powers to close the metal doors behind them. "What the hell do you want?" Sami demanded of the evil genius. "Why you of course my dear! I've waited a very long time for you. Charles was wrong to think that he could hide you from me forever. I knew that someday the old fool would lead you straight to me and I was right!
"Charles Xavier is no fool! He's the greatest man I've ever known and you aren't fit to lick his boots." Sami moved quickly directing the air to become icicles and launching them at the group. They were quickly deflected by Blob as Sami took off on a run. There had to be another way out of there, she thought frantically. She looked up and saw the observation deck above. She had to get up there. Suddenly her hair was grabbed by Mystique and she was tossed towards Magneto's feet. "There's no sense in fighting the inevitable my dear, join us now….or die! It's your choice."
"You know what
Metal Head?" A voice dripping with sarcasm echoed across the room. "I don't
think she likes your choices very much!" All eyes snapped to the spot on the
balcony above and Sami gazed in relief at the spot where her brother stood.
Their eyes met and with the silent message passed between them, Sami ducked her
head down to the floor just in time to be missed by the blazing ball of fire
that Eric sent hurtling in their direction.
The blast hit the group like a rocket, sending each of them flying. Eric jumped
down to the ground and ran towards Sami, who jumped up quickly and hurled
herself into his arms. "Great to see you too sis, but we gotta jam!"
He grabbed her hand and turned to run for the door, only to be met by Blob who
grabbed him and flung him across the room. He hit the wall with enough force to
crumble a portion of it. "Eric!" Sami screamed and tried to run to
him, but Blob grabbed her around her waist and hoisted her up, holding her tightly.
She tried to freeze his hand, but he seemed immune. "Let me go!" she
screamed. "Not a chance honey!" He boomed "Wanna bet fat
boy" a voice growled from across the room. "Logan!" Sami
whispered as Wolverine shot across the room and did a springing handstand, launching
himself directly at Blob's face. His boots connected with the only
semi-vulnerable part of the massive mutant's body, his eyes and Blob was so
surprised that he loosened his grip on Sami, enabling her to wriggle free and
drop to the ground. "Run kiddo!" Wolverine managed to choke out as
Blob blindly grabbed him by the neck and began to squeeze. "No way!"
Sami said, jumping to her feet and standing her ground. "Hey!
Lardass!" She screamed up at him. He looked down at her his face reddening
"Yeah you, you big, stupid, pile of shit! Why don't you try me on for size
when my back's not turned you fucking coward!"
Eric finally got to his feet and shook his head to clear it in time to see his
twin sister facing off with the giant. "Sami no!" he cried out just
as Blob tossed Wolverine aside and lunged at Sami with a roar!
