Living Island Part 2

[Westchester : 1995]

12:40 P.M.

POV : Calvin

Charles led us to an area where he pressed a button and the door to a heavy elevator opened, we all got on and went to the bottom floor.

Some areas were too leaden for me to look at, but for the most part it was an entire facility underneath the school, a nice underground base, and even had an area similar to a panic room for a large amount of people.

"This mansion has been in my family for a few generations, twenty years ago a friend and I did a lot of renovations, we built an area underneath, with heavy coating, for heavier activities than usual." He explained as we descended.

"A training area?" I suppose, that was the function originally I think.

"For Metahuman abilities yes, but also for scientific projects and protection areas in case the school was invaded by any ancient enemy." He said, when we finally got to the floor he clicked.

We started walking through a huge corridor, it was quite rustic and looked a little old, but very well maintained, it took us to an area where I was really impressed.

It looked like a mix of Jack Kirby art in real life and 90's cartoon, really worthy of a super laboratory, there were so many things I could hardly count.

"Impressive." Was all I could say.

"I had that impression when I first saw it too, the Professor and Hank work wonders down here." Ororo said smiling.

"Huf!!, a bunch of trinkets." Logan said uninterested.

"Eh good to see his opinion of my inventions has changed my rustic friend." A voice came from above us, looking up was a man, but more cat-like due to the blue fur and physiognomy.

He leapt from the ceiling, landing on his feet in front of us, wearing sweatpants and a lab coat and a pair of reading glasses, he was tall at least six feet tall, and a wise look.

"Kal-El this is Dr.Henry 'Hank' McCoy, my expert in Metahuman gene technology and development." Charles introduced us.

"A pleasure to meet you Doctor, read some of your theses, you are very knowledgeable in the area of genetics." I say with a smile.

He lets out a heartwarming laugh, as if being praised was a surprise.

"Well...you see I haven't published anything these past few years, and I haven't appeared in recent years either." He scratched his head a little.

"Hank we came to see the project, is it ready yet?" Charles asked his friend.

"Oh bridge count on it my friend!!, it's ready to be put to use." Hank said excitedly and took us to a kind of hangar.

There I think I saw the most sophisticated ship ever made by man, seriously my vision could see every detail of every piece, everything was so well assembled that it would be comparable to some more modern alien ships.

"An impressive piece Dr.McCoy." I say looking at the iconic X-Men ship.

"Thank you, I've decided to call you BlackBird." Hank spoke as he showed the ship.

Logan whistled while Ororo looked excited to pilot, I think they both enjoy this subject.

But interrupting our admiration Nick took his communicator that started playing like crazy, he took it and started asking for a report.

"Shit!!, Superman needs you to go to the coast as soon as possible, military base looks like an unidentified object is going at a very high speed there, the cords match the stain that Charles showed." Nick barked orders very urgently.

"How fast does this thing fly?" He then turned to Hank.

"Faster than anything currently." He responded with pride.

"Great, see you there then." I say as I walk to the hatch Hank opened for me.

"We'll get there soon Kal, I just hope it's nothing dangerous." Charles said optimistically.

"Professor, we are never that lucky." I say with a smile and took off at super speed.

When I'm high enough I speed up and break the sound barrier a few times.

[East Coast : Coastal Military Base]

12:50 P.M.

POV : Third

In an isolated area of the coast there was a US military base, soldiers were following their itinerary, marching, training and providing security.

Everything was normal until the monitors started beeping madly, those responsible didn't understand what it was about when the leader of the base ordered everyone to stay put.

Everyone then looked to the horizon, expecting an enemy attack, perhaps China, or the USSR, but a huge shadow covered the base. Everyone's eyes collided as the figure of an enormous albino flying reptile larger than cargo planes loomed over them.

In panic, the first soldier fired, and soon everyone fired, the creature was a few meters above the sky and was ignoring the base, but the bullets caught his attention and his fury seeped into his huge body.

He would have crushed the base with his body, but when he was close to reaching the soldiers something stopped his descent, shocking everyone to the ground.

Holding the massive beast from behind was Superman, having arrived in less than five minutes, when he see the huge Jurassic beast he can't help but think of the film series.

'Am I into some 60's story?! , dinosaurs seriously?!' He thought humorously.His glee didn't last long as the Pterodactylus-like beast began to thrash around and fly upwards, trying to break free of Superman's iron grip.

Seeing that the animal would not be easily however Superman let go of it and then flying as high as he could, the beast tried to bite him but Calvin was faster.Having gotten far enough away he soon began to descend like a missile, hitting the animal's solar plexus, and in a super fast descent the two made a huge crater on the beach.

"ROOOAARR!!" The beast let out a huge roar from the impact, with its wings broken and the back of its head a little soft, probably with all the bones broken, and a hole in its chest in the shape of two feet.

"Tougher than I expected, I thought it would go through its body, obviously not an ordinary animal." Superman said noting the animal's resistance to not being crossed.

He didn't have time to think about it when jet sounds soon filled the sky above him, looking up as he saw the BlackBird landing on the beach.

Down came Logan, in a very cool orange and black uniform, Nick in his street suit, Ororo in a nice black suit with a cape connected to both his wrists, and Charles in a more tactical outfit but still in his wheelchair.

"I really liked this machine, congratulations to Furball." Logan said as he squeezed his fingers together.

"You know Logan, lucky there's no speed limit in heaven, otherwise you would have broken them all." Ororo said troubled.

"Ha!!, you're only saying that because I was the one who piloted it." Logan returned it.

"You two come please, our friend here seems to have found something very out of the ordinary." Charles was the voice of reason as the four approached him.

"Beautiful damage Bub, no doubt good for a barbecue." Logan said analyzing a Jurassic animal as if it were ordinary.

"I don't even want to think what else could come from that stain, it's obviously not a single individual." Nick said looking worried.

Conversation was stopped by the sounds of jeeps and heavy footsteps, soon a group of soldiers were right behind us, all with guns pointed at us, one of them had the audacity to point a gun at Charles.

A tall, burly man got out of one of the jeeps, he was getting old with the sides of his hair turning white, and a nice mustache on his grim face, he walked to the five and faced Nick.

"Fury!, I should have known you'd be here." The man said looking at Fury in the eye start.

"Ross, it's been a while." Nick responded coldly.

"And even that wasn't enough, I see you've decided to bring your circus with you." He said looking at the three in uniform.

"You know, stick with who makes you look serious, I imagine you knew a lot about that." Nick responded coldly.

"Eh, you better start explaining why one of them is on top of US property?" he asked with the ghost of a smile on his face.

Calvin narrowed his eyes, this animal would clearly be used for experiments and most likely to create weapons for the government.

"Property of SHIELD actually, don't make a fool of yourself Ross, you know that after your last few failures you're not going to get anything out of the ordinary." Fury replied as he looked at Ross triumphantly.

"Listen here you piece of...!!" General Ross was not finished with his insults, as numerous protuberances appeared on the animal's body, they were like...claws.

"Fire!!!" He commanded his men, the soldiers no longer exist and a hail of gunfire rained down on the huge Pterodactylus, Logan placed himself in front of Charles as Ororo lowered him.

Superman on the other hand was launched into the air, being lifted by a column of Jurassic monsters and being carried high into the air.

'In the name of God, another normal week.' He thought as his eyes glowed a fiery red.
