The Demon He Is

Emma Frost was entirely way too angry to teach her class. She had seen the news and seen the new allies of the X-Men. Then, as if her life wasn't complicated enough, she got a message from Sinister claiming his latest experiment had failed and that Orko Saki would soon be after him and possibly the Hell Fire club. Her day and plans were set spiraling down the toilet and she knew it.

Then a light knocking came from outside her office.

"I'm busy." She growled, "Go away."

The knock came once more and it was heavier.

"I said go away!" Emma shouted as she stood to go open the door and yell at the person, face to face.

The door flew open with an angry kick. She recognized the silhouette of Sinister, but she did not know the accompanying shadow.

"Like I said Essex." The new voice said. "You just have to know how to handle people."

"That was a door Release." Essex sighed. "Is your vision that poor now?"

The two came in, Sinister in his usual undisguised form and a young man who had slowly receding burns across his face. She sat angrily in her chair before she spoke.

"You realize of course Project Phoenix is in jeopardy because of your little side experiments with Saki." Emma growled.

"Actually, we are quite capable of completing the project." Sinister gave his trademark smile. "You see young Release here is just as capable and powerful as Miss Grey, only he desires the power as well."

"Well I'm sure he does, but he can't be controlled I bet." Emma sneered as she felt a probe enter her mind. She glared at the young man before pushing his probe out of her mind.

"I like you." Release said with a smile. "So I'll make you a deal."

"Oh, and what pray tell is that?" Emma stood up with her hand on her desk.

"You give me the Phoenix Force and I won't absolutely destroy your school." Release smiled as he said it.

"Get out." Emma's eyes narrowed in anger. "Before I make you get out."

"Pity." Sinister sighed. "I'm sorry Release; something's just can't be helped."

"Oh, don't worry Essex; I'm sure she'll come around." Release smiled as he turned and left. "But for now I think I'll do you the favor of removing those ninja's from off your trail."

Sinister nodded and turned back to Emma with a frown. "You should have at least led him on."

"Oh please, he isn't even a mutant." Emma growled. "He gloated about it with his probe."

"No, he's not a mutant, but he is still dangerous when provoked." Sinister said. "And he's dead set on possessing the Phoenix Force."

"Well he can try to get it, if he can walk in magma." Emma snorted.

"Oh he's very capable of doing that, along with simply ripping it from the volcano." Sinister said calmly. "He is the single most powerful esper on this planet and you would do well to remember that he is also not from this dimension."

"Those blasted Scions brought him here!" Emma threw up her arms in defeat.

"I doubt they would bring some one of his power and alignment here." Sinister sighed. "I'm not sure why of how he is here."

"Great…" Emma sighed and sat down. "Ninjas?"

"Rocksteady, Bebop!" Shredder stormed into his secret lair in the upper floors of his office building. "Have you located Sinister yet?"

"No boss." Bebop sighed angrily. "Those programs he gave us had some sort of virus and I can't get through it for the life of me."

"I see…" Shredder said calmly. "How long will it take to reboot and clear the hard drives?"

"Six hours minimum." Bebop sighed, "Want me to do it?"

"Yes." Shredder sighed. "It seems Mister Sinister was indeed ready to betray me at moment's notice."

"You have no idea." A new voice said as he came out of the elevator. "Nice place."

"And you would be?" Shredder asked as he stared at the young man in anger and surprise.

"Release, it's a pleasure to meet you Shredder, now get your ninjas off Essex's trail or you'll be sorry." Release skipped over to a control panel.

"Now why would I do that?" Shredder snapped. "He betrayed me and used my resources for his own experiments and personal gain and then he lost it all. He owes me more than he could ever dream."

"And I'm here to pay off that debt, through your hide." Release stamped forward a single step and with the step he mentally grasped a batch of power cables from the wall and swung them around like crazed snakes. On cable wrapped tightly around Bebop and the others grabbed the various Foot and Scientists around the room, the largest one entangled Shredder.

"What is the meaning of this?" Shredder roared in anger.

"About twelve-thousand volts coursing through your body!" Release shouted as the end of the cable plowed into the Shredder's stomach. He writhed in pain and then dropped silent.

"Oh…" Release sounded disappointed. "I expected the ninja master to last a little bit longer."

"Boss!" Bebop shouted as he struggled to get free.

"Oh don't worry, he's just unconscious, but that's only because he's useful to me right now." Release smiled as he began to use the power cables to shock all the different ninjas and scientists he held wrapped up.

"I can't believe he escaped." Magneto cursed as he walked along side Megatron. The halls of the new Predacon base were shredded and torn as if a portion of World War II had been fought in them.

"Personally, I can believe it." Megatron growled. "After all he tore my entire group to pieces."

"Yes." Magneto sighed. "If I had known he was that uncontrollable I would never have freed him."

"I still can't believe he wasn't harmed by Inferno's attack." Megatron said, "That's what I can't believe."

"Simple biokinesis is all it was." Magneto explained. "He used it regenerate his body and to continue fighting us."

"Yes, but he was bleeding at one point and was only able to use his Telekinesis." Megatron said. "It's almost as if he needs to cycle through the powers available to him."

"Certainly plausible…" Magneto agreed. "But we should focus our efforts on the repairs."

"Indeed…" Megatron said as the came to the end of the hallway and looked out upon the sections of the base that had been completely demolished. "Half the base gone in an instant…"

"If anything good has come of this I don't know what it could be…" Magneto sighed yet again.

Gecko was lying in the infirmary at the Pit. He had been near catatonic when he was brought in, now though he simply refused to eat or drink. Instead he simply stared at the ceiling and mumbled strangely. No one was even sure if he was aware that Depth Charge was almost constantly at his side.

"How's he doing?" Betsy Braddock asked as she came to visit, accompanied by Professor Xavier.

"Physically, he's doing a lot better. Mentally, however; his mind is a war zone." Lifeline sighed, "And Depth Charge hasn't left him since he got here last night."

"Depth Charge came here?" Xavier asked.

"Yeah, I think Hawk knew that though, he told the President's organizing committee that Depth Charge was busy with personal problems for the ceremony." Lifeline said. "Heck, Hawk didn't leave him until he was called away earlier today."

"I see, and Splinter?" Xavier asked.

"He came in last night, but left around one in the morning." Lifeline said as they walked into the room. "The turtles are coming in later."

Xavier and Betsy came to a stop at Gecko's bed; Depth Charge was sitting on the floor and leaning against the wall. Neither Xavier nor Betsy could tell if he was awake or asleep so they both just sat nearby.

"He's a tough kid." Depth Charge spoke, he kept his optics off. "Reminds me of this kid from… from before Rampage."

"I see." Xavier sighed. "You know you can't keep…"

"Shut it mammal." Depth Charge growled, "My business, not yours."

"He looks almost… dead." Betsy rubbed her arms as she felt a chill run down her spine.

"He'll get back up, he don't know how to quit." Depth Charge said as he activated his optics and looked at Betsy. "You know he's got an eye for you."

Betsy just blushed.

"Depth Charge, I hardly think that's appropriate." Xavier scolded.

"Why not?" Depth Charge said.

"Because it isn't." Xavier narrowed his eyes.

"I get it." Depth Charge growled.

"Professor, maybe we could help him." Betsy said.

"I could most definitely do that, but I wouldn't want you inside his mind, at least not until you've had more training." Xavier said, "We'll have to clear it with Hawk and the others."

"Do it." Depth Charge said. "His father told me to look after him; so do it."

"I'm afraid it's more complicated than what you might think Depth Charge, he needs a legal guardian and I'm not sure the courts would be so willing as to accept you as a legal guardian." Xavier sighed.

"Why not?" Depth Charge asked. "Because I'm a machine or is it because I'm not from here?"

"Both actually." Xavier groaned. "Besides, Gecko's grandfather technically has legal custody."

"The kid's got family?" Depth Charge asked in a surprised voice.

"Yes, he's being brought here as soon as possible." Xavier said.

"My son told you to take care of him?" An older gentleman with a handle bar mustache came into the room. He wore a three piece suit and walked with a limp, but no cane. In his hands he had about three hundred pages of documents.

"Yeah, he did." Depth Charge said.

Gecko's grandfather looked at his grandson and sighed before he sat the documents in Xavier's lap. "I may tolerate mutants in other families, and even being friend with'em, but I'll be damned if I'll be related to one."

"Excuse me?" Depth Charge growled as he tried to stand up. "This is your kid's kid and you're just abandoning him?"

"As far as I'm concerned he's no different from the monsters that made him." The old man snapped.

"Excuse me sir!" Xavier shouted with more authority than Depth Charge thought was possible. "Your grandson is in a catatonic state, he has lost his parents in a most tragic way and now you are destroying what could possibly help him; your care and love."

"Professor Xavier, if you would kindly shut up." Depth Charge said calmly, to calm to not be angry. "And you, you should be ashamed of your actions. He's fifteen; he can barely care for himself…" Depth Charge shut up when the old man held out a document. "What's this?"

"A specially made adoption document, wrote it up myself when General Hawk told me what had happened." The old man grinned. "Go ahead and sign it, then he's all yours."

"You are a terrible human being." Betsy glowered at him.

For a brief second Depth Charge almost considered signing the document. He could give the kid a safe place to live, plenty of food and great training, but he knew what he would lack. He could never actually be there for the kid.

"I knew it…" The old man snorted. "How about you Xavier?"

He passed the document to Xavier and Xavier was about to sign when a wooden cane clapped against the clipboard and sent it sailing into the clawed hands of Splinter Yoshi. "I will sign it. Then you will leave and never show your face to the one you have abandoned."

"Fine by me…" The old man said indifferently.

"G…grandpa?" Gecko stirred awake.

"All right then, it's over. Good luck." The old man saluted as he left.

"Grandpa?" Gecko sprang fully awake. "Grandpa, wait!"

"Save your strength kid…" Depth Charge said calmly.

"And I don't want him at the memorial services!" The old man called back.

"Some people are never what they seem." Hawk sighed as he walked in. "I'm sorry kid, I didn't know he was such a bigot."

"Grandpa?" Gecko whimpered. "Why does the universe hate me?"

A brief flash and Perfection appeared, but just as quickly disappeared with an ashamed look on his face.

"It's all right Gecko." Betsy smiled as she held his hand. "We're all here for you."

""You're gonna have to go back to the sewers though." Depth Charge gave a light grin. "Splinter signed the papers; he's your guardian now."

"Great…" Gecko groaned. "My family is dead, my grandpa leaves me all alone and now I'm stuck training to be a ninja."

"If you do not wish to train as a ninja you do not have to." Splinter said as he sat down in a chair.

"AH!" The old man's voice was heard outside. "Stupid mutant brat!"

"What's that all about?" Hawk asked as the old man ran past Gecko's window with the Triplets, Todd and Arcade chasing after him. "Oh god…"

"I hope Arcade gives him rabies." Gecko growled.

"Whoa, talk about a mood swing." Depth Charge smiled.

"What good will self pity do me?" Gecko said.

"How did they know though?" Xavier asked, then he saw Betsy's smile. "We'll talk later."

"Wow." Hawk blinked. "She can be devious."

"You have no idea." Betsy said with a smile.

"All right everyone, time to let the patient rest." Lifeline said with a smile.

Xavier and the others were leaving when something occurred to Xavier. "How did Depth Charge get in here?" There was a sudden crashing sound as Depth Charge made a new door by walking through a wall that instantly repaired itself.

"I have to thank Perfection for that." Hawk smiled. "We have such a bigger budget now…"

"I wonder if could do that to my mansion?" Xavier wondered aloud.

AN: Now, who can tell me who the title is referring to: Release or Gecko's grandpa?
