Me: 'Sup, peoples? I still continue, crazy isn't it? But, I do so for those who are too kind that they torture themselves, just so that writers who are terrible (including me) have some confidence. Can't you just see self-esteem bubbling forth. . .like a volcano! Actually, that'd be more eruption than bubbling. . .hmm. . .(Sarcasm, in case you didn't get the hint.) Well, this chappie should be interesting, the title is called 'Imposter'. . .hmm, I wonder who that'd include. . .(wink wink) Also, I would just like to say that I am totally surprised that I got to the seventh chappie. Also, just a reminder, Omorose is pronounced OH-muh-ROH-suh.
P.S. Also, I'm so sorry that I had the "my bro singing in the shower" thing, I wrote it just for kicks and totally forgot to take it out, an' then I submitted it. . .(yes, I did sign up for the asylum.)
Chapter Seven: Imposter
Cyclops, Omorose, Storm and Wolverine are in the jet, feeling quite good, for they stopped the plan, before lunchtime, too! Storm walks over to Omorose and stares intently at her, like she's, I don't know, but after a couple seconds walks away with a confused face plastered on. This scene was going under the category: 'Strange' for Cyclops, Wolverine, and Omorose.
When Storm exits into another section of the jet, Omorose speaks up, "That was weird, huh?" Both nod. Then, only withinWolverine's hearing, Omorose whispers, "Impossible," while looking worried, all of which Wolverine had no idea as to what she meant.
'Cyclops, Wolverine, Mystique is aboard the ship, I can't tell which one she is, but she's on board,' Professor Xavier, apparently warned. 'And good job, no Chaleenstrome, but you're gonna have to deal with Mystique.'
Wolverine and Cyclops both turn towards Omorose, and Wolverine suggests, "Storm seemed a little, unsure about The Nuisance, as if something were different about her. And she acted as if Storm figured something out, 'cause she said 'Impossible' under her troublesome breath."
"As much as you hate 'Rose, it could also be Storm, never automatically conclude, but let's just. . ." Cyclops defended but was then cut off.
"interrogate? Good idea," Wolverine assumes. He walks towards Omorose with Cyclops sighing then following.
"What business do you have here?" Wolverine growls which then scares Omorose, having her fall out of her seat. "Uh, Wolv-" Cyclops was trying to contain his co-worker, but it was useless, Wolverine then had Omorose by the collar.
She manages to speak, "I came here to disable or destroy the Chaleenstrome project, just like the rest of you."
Wolverine then holds her up off the ground and roars, "There's only one thing that I hate more than 'Omorose' and that's Mystique! So, if you ain't her, prove it!" He throws Omorose to the ground, who rolled into a wall. She stands up determined and begins to disappear. "I'm still not convinced!" He shouts, (Wolverine that is). She becomes visible, but above them. Wolverine just shakes his head belligerently. She comes down standing on the ground, wondering what will prove to him that she's Omorose.
Her answer was abrupt when Wolverine quickly said "Think fast!" While he says that, he shoots out his 'knives' and swings at her. The reaction: a light blue, barely visible, wall prevents the attack. He retracts the 'knives' and grunts, "Okay, fine, it's you." Cyclops just buries his head in his hand and mumbles, "He didn't even apologize."
Cyclops and Wolverine walk towards the door of which 'Storm' exited the room. Omorose walks up, wanting to follow, but Cyclops declines, "You stay here and steer the jet." Omorose slouches in a chair, and sighs. The two mutants open the door then dash through, the doors closing behind, leaving 'Rose all alone. She then sprouts a grin on her face, and begins to disappear. "Steer the jet? It's on autopilot," Omorose thinks aloud. "I'm the only one to know if it's really Mystique. Her energy should be the same." The doors open then shut once more, leaving the cockpit unoccupied.
Back at the crumbly old building, Magneto (once again) has Storm. "You ruined my plan, not that I didn't expect you, I just thought that those goons would have had enough energy to take on four annoying mutants. Even Mystique failed. I don't know what to do with you, I'm just so angry," Magneto says to Storm who is tied tightly to a chair with duck tape over her mouth. "Do you know how rare that Chaleenstrome was? Very! It took fifteen years to find it! Fortunately, I was the highest bidder, quite aware of it's capabilites. Storm, you just don't know how frustrating it is."
He walks out of the cell made of concrete, with water dripping, dripping, dripping, continually (and deliberately) annoying Storm. On the back of her neck is that square device that drains her powers. She brings her head forward and counts in her head to three. On three, she slams the back of her neck onto the back of the chair. The device is bruised along with her neck. Along with the devicebeing broken,her neckcontinues to throb with pain.
When the pain lessens, her eyes begin to glow over a pearl white, with that, she grins under the tape.
Once againat the jet, Wolverine and Cyclops are cautiously tip-toeing through the other rooms. Wolverine stays in the lead when he halts abruptly, for he felt something. He then shouts, forgetting the quiet plan, "NUISANCE!"
Beginning tohave the nick names called by Wolverine grow on her, Omorose replies, "Huh?" She immediately regrets doing so, and speeds off ahead of them. "Storm's unsuccessful clone experiment called a 'sister' can't keep out of trouble, can it?" Wolverine queried quite ragefully.
Cyclops suggests, "Let's just keep going, and, might I add, let us do so quietly, okay?" Wolverine grunts in reply, and continues to walk silently.
Omorose, up quite a ways, continues to speedily go through the rooms, waiting until she feels something, and to her surprise, she did feel something, but not from a human. She stopped,backed up and examineda cat. 'Rose continues to stare at the feline, unsure if it really is this Mystique person. She continues to intently stare at the kitty until she gasps, for the cat's eyes had glown yellow, (it was originally green) which gave her not the best memory. . .
"YOU! It's you! I. . .you. . .the people. . .I absolutely hate you!" Omorose exclaimed to the cat, who was beginning to become frightened. "Why don't you just shapeshift, you creep! While you're at it, why don't you hop in a helicopter with your hairy friend with fangs, and send out another pathogen wave, trying to get me! I've heard seventh time's the charm!" She continued.
Cyclops and Wolverine heard the screams. . .well, mainly scolds, and ran over to find a voice shouting at the cat. At the sight of these two,the cat began to shapeshift. When she was done morphing, Mystique stood there. Omorose slowly became visible, and she then slapped Mystique, then turned invisible again. She became solid just to hit Mystique.
"You know her?" Cyclops inquired of Omorose.
"How could I not? She sickened six cities just trying to kill me! She sent out a wave of disease from some box, and I was always right there! And if you were right there, you'd die!" She answered with ire.
Wolverine questions, "Might I ask, why did she want to kill you? I can understand some reasons, but what was Mystique's?"
"I like you, too.Well, it's because, that's what happens when you refuse to join. . .well, I did attack her. . ." Omorose continued when she saw that Wolverine and Cyclops were surprised and confused,"She adopted my only friend, and I've heard what the Brotherhood does, so, I just punched her and tried to run, got into this whole, insignificant fight."
Mystiqueclears her throat, "Ahem, sorry to interupt, but I'm here for a reason."
"Oh, right," Wolverine remembers, he then shoots out his 'knives'and starts fighting with Mystique, along with the other two.
Magneto sits at his desk, waiting, simply waiting, a clock ticking. He looks around as if he was expecting something. He smiles when he sees Storm summon wind to knock down the metallic door, which Magneto returns to its place when she is definitely in the room.
"You escaped sooner than I thought, bravo. Are you sure you're not interested in a position for the Brotherhood?" Magneto offered.
"You know the answer, Magneto!" Storm exclaims while coming up. She starts a thundercloud near the ceiling and orders, "Tell me why you changed your plan and had it sooneror else!" As she warns, lightning strikes all around her.
Magneto claps his hands and replies, "You know what? I'm in a good mood, so just for threatening me, I'll tell you." Storm keeps her furious look and ivory eyes that match her hair. "Well, you see Storm, when it was in the water, it dissolved, disappeared, you could say. It no longer existed after a short period of time. But, in the air, the Chaleenstrome could last from as short as amonth, to as long as a year! So, we passed on the experiment with water, and skipped right to the evaporation theory. You don't know how disappointed I am that it didn't work," he answered with a grin.
"You don't look disappointed," Storm states still yet enraged.
Magneto declined, "Looks can be deceiving, now, if you don't mind, I must be going. You can leave if you want, I have no use of you."
"Then why'd you take me?" Storm asks once again with fury still bubbling inside.
Magneto stopped, turned around, then answered, "Ah, yes, that's right. You were a little slow on exiting the building, so we had someone replace you."
"Why?" She again asks another question, calming down a bit.
"Two wordsthat equal one, Storm: Your plus Sister equals Omorose. She seemed quite good, but not that attainable. She declined once, but that doesn't mean we can change minds. . .if you want to go help, I think they're at Central Park, New York City, New York," Magneto suggests through a lying grin.
Storm has a disbelieving look and states, "Knowing you, that's most likely false. I'll find out the new and updated way, and that's a communicator. . .where'd it go? Okay, here it is!" Magneto nods and exits, closing the door behind him. She attempts to open it, but it's too heavy. So, she has the winds once more assist her, knocking down the door, and flying out the nearest window, which was down the hall.
At the X-Jet, Mystique knocked down Cyclops and is pretty much through with Wolverine. "I was tired earlier today, but, now I'm energetic. . .and upset!" Mystique commented.
As Cyclops regains some consciousness, thanks to Omorose, a voice is heard through the communicator, "Cyclops are you there? It's Storm."
"Yea, we're fighting Mystique.. ." Cyclops replies.
"Don't let her get near Omorose, she's gonna try and take her. . .make sure she doesn't have any square device."
"Uh. . .well. . ."
"You see one, don't you?"
"Kinda, sorta, yea. What's it do?"
"Drains your powers, so either blast it, or just try and steer clear from it."
"Why would Magneto want 'Rose, 'Ro?"
"We had our share of struggles and denying the Brotherhood. And, she is a living energy source, I'd have to say that'd be quite helpful with fighting situations."
"Oh, good point. We're in the jet in case. . ."
"Tracking device, already got ya!" As Storm says this, something lands on the jet. The hatch in the ceiling begins to open, and Storm drops in. She tightens it back up, then walks over to where Mystique and everyone else are.
Mystique thinks in her mind (where else?), 'This is useless with that little health pack running around here!' At that, she takes a square device that was in her belt that she happened to be wearing that day. She attempted a couple times to stick it on Omorose, who, realizing what was being attempted, turned into energy.
Mystique, while fighting, gets enraged that she can't fulfill her command. Then, as she was combating Wolverine, she fell to the ground, very weak. 'Rose becomes herself again right over Mystique with her handon Mystique's shoulder.
Without warning, Mystique jumps up and is about to pull a spinning kick on Cyclops when Storm prevents that. Lightning struck Mystique, who fell to the ground, just beat to the limit. Storm takes her out through the hatch and puts her down in an alley in New York City.
Me: I know it's super cheesy, you don't have to tell me. . .well, actually, please tell me, I just want to ensure that the opinion on this fic isn't just me. The thing with Magneto telling Storm why he changed his plan, I kinda had to explain. . .cuz, this is embarrassing, I ahem, didn't follow my storyline, but now it does! Plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz review! Plz means please, just in case ya didn't know. I stopped it there because, well, it was long enough already.
