Chapter XXII
Meet and Greet
Everything was going good so far. Elektra was gone, the X-Men were gone and the Professor was shut up in Cerebro. Which left Logan in charge. So, he found Rogue and Bobby, told them that he needed some "me" time and that they were in charge. They didn't bother to ask where he was going or when he was going to be back. They were know in charge so what did they care?
Logan and I headed to the garage and "borrowed" Scott's car again.
It took us about an hour to get to the warehouse. Logan turned the car down an old ally way that was littered with trash and parked in front of the warehouse. The building is older than dirt and hasn't been used since the 80's.
"Thanks for ride" I thanked Logan, opening the car door and sliding half way out.
"Hey," Logan grabbed my arm to stop me. "I'll be right out here if anything goes wrong, kay."
"You don't have to stay, I..."
"I ain't leavin' ya here by yourself," he demanded tightening his grip a little.
"Fine," I sighed. "Stay if want."
"I will," he smirked, releasing my arm.
I slid out of the car and shut the door.
I opened the door to the warehouse and was surprised when it didn't fall off it's hinges. Just before I entered the building, I could have sworn that I heard Logan say "Magneto". I shrugged it off as nothing and walked into the old warehouse. I was greeted by the foul smell of something gross.
Holy shit! What the hell crawled in here and died?
I pulled the collar of my shirt up over my nose and kept walking. It was pitch black. I could barely see 2 feet in front of my face. I did my best to maneuvered around the old boxes and crates towards the center of the warehouse. I reached the small clearing and stopped. I looked around, but all I saw was black. I walked farther into the clearing and was blinded by light.
"Ah, what the hell?" I yelled, placing my hand in front of my face to shield my eyes from the harsh light.
I heard growling, like an animal but not, come from somewhere in front of me. I quickly backed away until I hit a box. The growling grew louder, like the thing it belong to was coming closer.
I put down hand and my eyes slowly began to adjust to the light. I looked around to see what was growling. That's when I saw Steve. He was standing in the middle of clearing. But he wasn't the one growling.
CLICK
What the hell...
CLICK
The sound echoed through the old warehouse. I tried to look past Steve, but the light was too bright. That's when something long, green and slimy shot out of the light and rapped around my legs. It yanked me to the ground and pulled me into the light.
The light dimmed. The slimy thing that bond my legs released them and I stood up. I looked around. Steve was standing in front of me. But it wasn't him that I was staring at. I was staring at the people behind him. At the mutants behind him. At the Brotherhood behind him. Sabertooth was growling and Pyro was flipping his lighter open and shut.
"What the hell are they doin' here?" I asked Steve, nodding towards the Brotherhood.
"My dear child, who's idea do you think it was to have this little get together, hmm?" it wasn't Steve who answered me, it was Magneto. "You don't really think that Steven asked you here so that you two could "talk", do you?" he asked, walking towards me.
"Then why am I here?" I ask, standing my ground.
"Why are any of us here?" Magneto asked me, stopping just inches from my face. "What's our purpose?"
"Well, I don't really know what my purpose is," I answered truthfully. "As for you,..."
"My purpose is to lead mutants in the fight against Homo sapiens," he stated, with a small smile.
"The X-Men will stop you," I smirked.
Steve laughed.
"What's so funny?" I asked, looking past Magneto at him.
"You," Steve answered simply. "You don't get it, do you?"
I glared at him.
"You're bait," his smile grew. "For the X-Men. When they come to "recuse" you and they will walk right into own trap," he continued to laugh.
"Yeah well, the jokes on you cause Logan's waiting outside," I shot back at him.
"Mystique's taking care of him," Toad informed me, smiling brightly.
All of a sudden there was a loud cash as something came slamming through the front of the warehouse. It was Scott's car and on it's hood was an unconscious Mystique. The car came to stop behind me and Logan jumped out. He grabbed Mystique off the hood and throw her at Magneto, who caught her and stumbled back a bit but didn't fall.
"Wake her up," Magneto demanded, as he handed, the still unconscious, Mystique over to Sabertooth.
"Ya alright kid?" Logan asked, moving to stand beside me.
I nodded. "Took you long enough," I smirked.
"Yeah well, I had some calls to make," he smirked back. "Now, lets get this party started."
SNIKT!
Logan popped out his claws and sized everyone up.
"Lucky for you I stayed," Logan told me, never taking his eyes off the enemy.
"Yeah, lucky me," I said dully, staring at Steve.
He stared back.
"What's happened to you?" I asked him, sadly.
Steve shrugged. "People change."
Sparkling angel
I believe
You are my Saviour
In my time of need
Blinded by faith
I couldn't hear
All the whispers
The warnings so clear
I see the angels
I'll lead them to your door
There's no escape now
No mercy no more
No remorse 'cause I still remember
The smile when you tore me apart
You took my heart
Deceived me right from the start
You showed me dreams
I wish they'd turn into real
You broke a promise
And made me realize
It was all just a lie
Sparkling angel
I couldn't see
Your dark intentions
Your feelings for me
Fallen angel
Tell me why?
What is the reason?
The thorn in your eye
I see the angels
I'll lead them to your door
There's no escape now
No mercy no more
No remorse 'cause I still remember
The smile when you tore me apart
You took my heart
Deceived me right from the start
You showed me dreams
I wish they'd turn into real
You broke a promise
And made me realize
It was all just a lie
Could have been forever
Now we have reached the end
This world may have failed you
It doesn't give the reason why
You could have chosen
A different path in life
The smile when you tore me apart
You took my heart
Deceived me right from the start
You showed me dreams
I wish they'd turn into real
You broke a promise
And made me realize
It was all just a lie
Could have been forever
Now we have reached the end
