(sigh) "Eric just what the hell are you doing." Ranma mumbled to himself as he sat in the bar while nursing the bottle. While his thoughts were on the situation that was now created.
"You going to keep nursing that bottle all night pal?" The bartender said as he was leaning on the counter of the somewhat empty bar.
"What's it to you? I paid for the bottle after all." Ranma said as he eyed the bartender. "Beside I think you could use the business."
"He is just mad, because he lost a bet with me." The voice of a woman interrupted their little quarrel.
(Damn) "Hey Irene so how is the fortune telling business going?" The bartender said as he started to fix a glass.
"I didn't know you cared Mike." She said with a smile.
"Heh you know me I only care as long a you can pay your tab." Mike said as he started to leave the counter. "I be back with your money Irene."
"Seems like he trust you alot." Ranma said before he drinking some of the bottles contents.
"Mike tends to trust no one. He however has a routine going here. This just happens to be a slow day so he can go to the back with no worries." Irene said as she smiled at Ranma's general direction.
"So it is pretty hum drum around here?" Ranma asked as he eyed the light brown haired women wearing dark glasses for obvious reasons.
"No more then any other city. So what brought you here to the Dominican Republic?" She asked after taking a sip from her drink.
"Well I was on my way back to Europe, but my flight like all flights was canceled. Due to this kidnapping thing." Ranma said as he took another drink from his bottle.
"Maybe it's destiny telling you to stay here in the states for awhile." She offered.
"I don't know I am not big on this whole destiny guiding you down a path set in stone." Ranma said before he soon started to chuckle. "Then again with everything I have seen in my life maybe I should, but not tonight. I got to get out of here."
"Tell you what before you just up and leave. How about I read your fortune, and buy you another drink? I sure could use some company?" Irene asked as she took a hold of his hand still smiling at him.
----- Meanwhile Croatia -----
"OK people we only got one shot at this." Scott said as he sat in the car that they obtained. "Be sure to be in your positions people."
"Yeah we got that Cyclops." Storm said as she was waiting in her position. "I still think this is too reckless." Ororo thought to herself as she continued to wait in the shadows, or to be more exact the alley.
"This is the only way Ororo, and besides do you really want to see what would happen if the Brotherhood becomes the embodiment of how human should perceive mutants." Jean said using her telepathic abilities to keep this conversation private.
"Well I can't argue with you on that Marvel Girl. I guess I am just hesitant about this mission. Maybe if Ranma was I would feel more at ease. I mean here we are going in blind into the belly of the beast, and we have no idea what to expect when we get in there." Storm said to the short red haired mutant. "Oh well no turning back now."
"You have nothing to worry about Storm. Nothing will go wrong." Jean said as she got into position with the Blackbird above in the shy.
----- Down Below -----
"My what a wonderful mutant ability Quicksilver. You can probably make Guinness and set the world's record for getting lung cancer the fastest." Mastermind said from the couch where he watched the seen unfold between Quicksilver, and Toad. (sigh) "What idiots." he thought to himself. "Well at least we can still interact in intelligent conversion." He said as he turn to face the auburn haired mutant.
"Sorry but when I need to find one I usually think to out loud." Scarlet Witch said as she continued to read her magazine.
"Don't you mean because I am not Ranma." Mastermind countered.
"Care to say more into it." She said as she aimed her red glowing hand towards the Brotherhood's great illusionist.
(heh heh) "Just kidding." The white haired man said as he slowly edged away from her as best he could on the couch. That however was when the floor started to rock.
"Damn it Blob who told you to break wind!" The speed demon said as best he could while he and the others were trying to stand up, or stay standing as the whole floor continued to shake.
"It wasn't me!" Blob said while trying not to drop his sub.
"I must say I do believe this girl has a flight to catch." Beast said as he breaking the window as he kicked Toad away from the table where he and the girl was sitting. "So if you excuse us will be on our way." The voice of the large appendage x-men barely sounded through the still breaking boards. As he held the now former captive of the Brotherhood.
"Don't let them escape!" Quicksilver yelled out as he, and everyone started to pursue the two that were escaping through the window.
----- outside -----
"You're not going to hurt me are you?" The scared girl asked while she was still shaking as they soared through the air, in the surprisingly gentle arms of the mutant known as Beast.
"Oh no my dear you have nothing to fear from me. Or anyone of our team. You see we're the good guys" Beast smiled at the girl however that didn't last as he yelled out. "ICEMAN!"
"Heh sorry I missed my cue man, but I got worried when Wolverine left his post." The beret wearing Iceman said as he did his part in the mission. Which was to create an ice path to the car.
"Not that I mind, but what took you so long!" He said as he soon started to slide on the path of ice that was created as he held the girl.
"Well like I said Wolverine left his post so I thought something was up, but in the end Wolverine just went to go a....a relieve himself." Stated Iceman.
(sigh) "Just don't do that again." Beast said as he placed the girl in the car that Cyclops was sitting outside in. "She's all yours Cyclops now go before the Brotherhood get down here."
"Don't worry Beast I can handle my end." Cyclops said as he started the car and floored it, and passed down three houses. But that was it the car had just stopped. "What the!"
"What the matter Cyclops. Missing an engine?" Asked the smirking Quicksilver as he held the keys twirling on his finger. As he sat on the car hood. "Now be a good X-man and hand over the girl."
"I may be missing an engine, but at least I still got a face!" The Summers brother yelled out as he pressed the button on his visor. Firing the red beam from his eyes breaking the wind shield, and throwing Quicksilver several feet away from the car.
"Come on we got to get out of here!" Cyclops yelled out as he grabs the frightened girl.
----- several feet away -----
"Oh you are going to pay for that." Peitro said as he stagger to get up from where he landed.
"Oh I think you got bigger fish to worry about right speedy." The gruff voice of the feral mutant sound before the sound of metal being unsheathed.
"Wolverine! What the hell are you doing here?" The offspring of the master of magnetism said as he stopped his attempt to catch Cyclops as he now had three claws in front of his face.
"Probably finishing the worlds longest leak, but my guess that is not what you are asking now are you." The Feral man said as he unsheathed the other set of claws from his other hand.
"You know dam well what I am asking. You were ordered to kill the cripple. Now why are you here!" The speed demon demanded as he was now standing. Barely but still standing in the tattered and torn remains of his attire.
(Heh) "Well wouldn't you like to know." Wolverine said with a maddening gleam in his eyes as he launched his attack at the wounded Quicksilver.
----- Blocks Away -----
"This is just great now the locals are getting involved." Scott thought to himself as he and the president's daughter continued run. "X.." Scott started.
"Well now I should say sorry but you don't mind if I drop in right?" Toad landed on self-appointed leader. (Heh heh) "Don't worry you two Yanks are next." Toad said as he dodged the shards of ice that came flying passed him.
"What did he call me!" Storm said as she and Iceman were running towards where Cyclops was.
"He's all yours Storm." Iceman said as he started to make a meatsicle out of Toad. While Storm was now running passed Scott.
"Oh bloody." Toad yelled out as he land covered in ice from the waist down.
"This is for calling me American you english asshole." Storm as her boot hit Toad in the face.
"Man I guess those times you practice with Ranma without your powers paid off." Iceman commented as he helped Scott to his feet.
"Yeah you know you are right." Storm said as she left the unconscious Brotherhood member lying on the ground.
"Wh..where's the girl!" Scott yelled out as he and the other present realized she was gone.
