Chapter 31: Adaptation
"Bishop I am glad you got here so soon," said Xavier, "I believe Jonothan Starsmore is having some sort of emotional trauma."
"Glad I could help Xavier," said Bishop, "When will he be out."
"Whenever he is ready," said Xavier.
"He seems to be missing organs and his mouth how is he living?" asked Bishop.
"Beast diagnosed him and figured out that it is a psionic energy. This energy sustains him and keeps him alive. The human part of him is basically a shell to contain it. It would appear the explosion triggered his mutation," said Xavier, "Only mentally he is in a bad condition."
Elsewhere in the mansion…
"Well here is your room John, any questions you would like to ask us," said Logan.
"Why does one-eye not talk," said John.
"You don't need to know that kid," said Logan.
"Fine then," said John.
He walked into his room and emptied his stuff. He found a black uniform with a red bird on it.
"Welcome to the X-Mansion Thunderbird," said Logan.
Then he and Scott walked away.
Elsewhere in the mansion…
"We need to get out of the mansion for a while," said Shiro.
"How come?" asked Warren who had his arm around Paige.
"When was the last time we were on missions?" asked Shiro.
"Hmm…your right," said Warren.
"What are we talking about here?" asked Kitty who was with Peter.
"I would like to know myself comrade," said Peter.
"We are going to get out of here to go somewhere," said Shiro.
"How about the mall?" asked Paige.
"Sure as long as that means we are out of here for a bit," said Shiro.
"Like while we are at it lets go to one in New York," said Kitty.
"Then its settled," said Warren he pulled out a cell phone, "Copter one pick us up outside of Bayville."
Then he hung up.
The rest of them smiled.
In the med lab…
Jonothan was still recovering from the emotional part of it. Then a thought came in his head, 'Jonothan I know how sad this must be for you. Would like to come to Britain with us and we will have a funeral for your parents.'
Than Jonothan nodded. He stood up and walked out of the Med-Lab.
"Welcome to the X-men I am Charles Xavier," said the Professor holding out a hand.
Then Jonothan reached for it and shook it.
Outside of Bayville ten minutes later…
"Well get in the Helicopter," said Warren.
"Don't get pushy Richie Rich," said Kitty.
They all got in then the Helicopter took off towards Warren's company.
About twenty minutes later…
The helicopter landed on top of the Worthington's company.
"Like the view?" asked Warren.
It was one of the taller buildings in New York. From the top they could see the ocean.
"Wow," said Paige.
"Well either we take the elevator, fly down or take the stairs," said Warren.
"Fly down it is much faster," Shiro said grabbed Kitty and flew off the building.
It looked like he dropped down. Then Warren grabbed Paige and flew her down.
Back at the Mansion…
"Let me out yo!" said Toad.
He was in a containment cell for lower level mutants.
"So you were there to get Jonothan?" said Bishop.
"Isn't that obvious now?" asked Toad.
"How did you know about him?" asked Bishop.
"Not telling yo," said Toad.
Bishop pressed a button on the panel. The door to the prison opened and he ran inside.
"Talk!" he yelled at Toad with a gun pointed to Toad's head.
"Okay, okay!" said Toad, "Will you let me go if I tell you?"
"Sure," said Bishop.
"Pietro stole the Xavier protocols okay?" said Toad, "Now let me go!"
Bishop grabbed him and put him in a different containment cell.
"Hey you said you would let me go!" yelled Toad.
"To another cage," said Bishop then he walked out of the room.
"This stinks yo," said Toad.
Back where the X-men going to the mall were…
"Hey wait a second isn't that Lance over there," said Kitty.
Over by the Empire State building was Lance wearing a hooded sweatshirt looking at the building. Then Vanisher appeared next to him with Blob, Quicksilver, Pyro, and Scarlet Witch.
"I planted the bomb," said Pietro.
"Good job you Quicksilver," said Pyro.
"You won't live to see the bomb," yelled Shiro at them.
A flame sword appeared in his hand.
He whispered, "Kitty, Paige, Warren you go find the bomb Colossus and I will hold them back."
Colossus ran at Pyro who was shooting flames at him. Sunfire flew at Blob with the flame sword out.
He started slashing Blobs skin, then Blob said, "Good thing I'm the Blob or I would be dead."
"You say your unmovable well now you are," said Sunfire, he shot a fireball at Blob's feet. It melted Blob's shoes to the ground keeping him incapacitated.
Colossus ripped the flamethrower from Pyro's back.
"Vanisher get those three trying to escape, same with you Pietro, we will hold these guys back," said Scarlet Witch.
Lance started shaking the ground causing pillars of rock to wrap around Colossus.
Scarlet Witch was levitating Sunfire in one place and levitating the fire he was about to use.
Inside where the people looking for the bomb were…
"Okay Quicksilver and Vanisher are probably coming after us," said Warren, "So if they come one of us will stay behind and try to stop them."
"Don't be all heroic Warren, I will do it," said Paige, "Because all of your powers are wimpier."
They ran for about five more minutes then Vanisher appeared with Quicksilver in front of them.
"We caught up with you," said Vanisher.
Husk ripped off her skin turning metal and started to beat down Vanisher. But, then Vanisher teleported out of harms way. Quicksilver started speeding around her so she held her arm out. His face smacked into it and he fell, "Go ahead guys I am fine."
"Use the elevator Kitty, I will use the direct route," said Warren, "And knowing the Brotherhood it is at the very top."
He leaped out the window busting the glass.
Then Kitty ran over to the elevator and stepped inside.
Several minutes later outside…
Angel was flying straight upward. Then Vanisher appeared in front of him.
Vanisher landed on Angel making him plummet to the ground.
"See you later freak," said Vanisher he jumped off of Angel and disappeared.
Inside the elevator…
"I'm nearly to the top and the only person who can get me is Vanisher," said Kitty.
Then Vanisher appeared.
"Should have kept my mouth shut," said Kitty she phased out of the elevator and onto the floor she was on.
She phased almost levitating towards the roof. She finally made it up and Vanisher was nowhere to be seen. She found the bomb too.
Where Sunfire and Colossus were…
"So you going to give Toad back," said Lance.
"Why would you want him back?" said Colossus who was finally successfully tied pinned.
"He was part of the team, so give him back," said Lance, "We will defuse the bomb, or we will blow it up."
"Kitty is up there," said Colossus, "I thought you used to love her."
"That was then this is now," said Lance, "So send Sunfire here to the Mansion to get Toad free."
Then they heard a voice, "A little late now Lance."
Kitty floated to the ground with the bomb it was defused.
"I'm quite good at hacking and that sort of stuff if you don't remember," said Kitty.
"Hmm…well Wanda restrain her!" said Lance.
Wanda held another hand out to Kitty keeping her still.
Then Vanisher appeared without Quicksilver, "We need to go now Husk has got Quicksilver, and that Angel freak should recover from his fall soon."
Then all the Brotherhood disappeared.
Soon all of the X-men were unrestrained and together.
"Sunfire can you take Pietro to a containment cell," said Kitty, "I guess this ruins our mall plans."
Later back at the mansion in the containment cells…
"Now you are here too Pietro?" asked Toad looking at a cell to his right.
"Yes Toad," said Pietro, "We did that to get you back you idiot."
"I think I know how to get out yo!" said Toad.
"How?" asked Pietro.
