story is the beginning of my Lynx series.
Lynx
Emma Frost sat very still at her vanity contemplating the message she had just received from one of her sources. The location of the problem was just outside of Seattle Washington. And she needed to hurry. Unless she wanted to spend her time, burying dead children instead of rescuing them. Oh yes and she might want to bring some powerful friends to help.
She picked up the phone and called the X-Men. Usually, she would not have bothered but all of her students except Jubilee and Jono were on a field trip and would not be back for several days.
"This floor is all clear." "They seemed to have abandoned this place." "Next levels people," called Cyclops when they had finished the search of the first floor.
"Emma take your team plus Gambit and Rogue upstairs." "I will take everyone else."
When they reached the bottom of the stairs Cyclops asked, "Phoenix are you picking up anything?"
"No," she said sadly.
"It smells of death here, Cyke real bad," Wolverine said in a low growl.
"Well lets get to it people."
The hall had six doors three on each side.
"Wolverine open the door on the left." Cyclops ordered.
"OH MY GOD!" Cried Phoenix. She turned away. In the cell, two small bodies lay dead in each other's arms.
Growling in fury, Wolverine stormed out of the cell.
"Lets hurry people." "If it is as bad as it looks the live ones may not be that way for long." Cyclops said.
Wolverine was already ahead of him. He opened the door across the hall and found another body. They found seven bodies all children between the ages of 5-8 years old.
Upstairs on the second floor, Emma began scanning for people.
"I do not sense anyone on this floor," she stated to her group.
The second floor appeared to be living quarters. The first few rooms were a mess like who ever lived here left in a big hurry.
Jubilee and Jono opened one of the doors. It lead to another bedroom.
"This one looks empty to," thought Jono to Jubilee.
Jubilee had moved around to the other side of the bed and was looking at the floor strangely.
"What?" Shouted Jono telepathically.
"He's dead." Was all the Jubilee could say as her face paled.
"Who's dead?" He asked coming around the bed.
There on the floor lay a decapitated Sabretooth. He had a very surprised look on his face.
Emma met the kids at the door.
"What is wrong?" Emma stated with a rising of an eyebrow.
"Sabretooth is dead," stated Jubilee still in shock. Jono had taken hold of her hand because she actually looked like she was going to faint. She was not going to complain. She really did feel like fainting. Who could have killed him? Is it still here? She did not know and was just a little bit afraid to ask.
The third floor was a lab. Computers and all sorts of equipment were all around. Everything seemed to be in order except for the door that was barricaded with a large filing cabinet. When they moved over to the door, Rogue turned.
"Shit!" She cried out and jumped back.
There lying on the floor just behind a large desk was Mr. Sinister, dead.
"Who killed him?" Asked Jubilee.
"Gambit don' know Chere but it not friendly dat fo' sure."
"I want that door unblocked there is someone in there," commanded Emma.
Rogue and Gambit moved over to the door. Rogue moved the file cabinet and Gambit opened the lock. They were not prepared for what they saw, a blonde haired girl trying to stand between them and a group of three clone tanks. Two of the tanks were broken but one still held a live infant within.
Just then Wolverine ran into the room. He scanned the room and growled, "What did ya find?"
"A young girl and a baby were trapped in the lab over here," stated Emma coldly.
"Don't go near 'em!" Shouted Wolverine as he came running over.
"They are children Wolverine!" "I will not have you attacking children!" Emma shouted back. "Besides, the girl can barely stand."
Wolverine looked at Emma and said with a menacing snarl, "The girl killed Creed's clone and by the look of things Sinister too." Wolverine was looking back over his shoulder where the body of Sinister lay.
Emma paled and let Wolverine into the lab first.
The girl can't be more than 13 or 14 years old and half starved, thought Wolverine. The baby looks like a newborn.
When she saw Wolverine she started to growl and show her teeth and claws. As her retractable fangs and claws popped out she began to bleed. Her growls turned to whimpers of pain. She stared at her hands in disbelief.
Wolverine came further into the room and crouched down in front of her. "I ain't goin' to hurt ya." "We're here to help." He said softly and gently.
The girl retracted her fangs and claws with another whimper.
"Please, help the baby first," said the girl in barely a whisper. "She isn't a clone." " She hasn't done anything bad."
"It's ok darlin we're goin' to help both of ya."
Beast stepped into the room and walked very slowly over to them. "My name is Beast and this fine fellow is Wolverine." "I am a doctor and I will take care of you and see to the baby as well." "You are injuried please let me see your hands." He said as he crouched down and reached for her smiling and trying to project his friendliness attitude.
The girl whimpered and started to cry when Beast said 'doctor', Wolverine noticed. God, what has this kid gone through?
"What is your name child?" Asked Beast lowering his voice to a gentle whisper.
"I'm Lynx." She said as she fell to her knees as she tried to move away from him.
Lynx would not let Beast touch her. So, Wolverine moved over to pick her up, he knew she could not walk far much less run or fight. She flinched away from him as if struck. He froze. She smelled of terror now.
"I said I ain't goin' to hurt ya darlin', I promise," he said.
"Why would you help me?" "You know what I did." "Don't you recognize me?" She continued to cry.
"No, Darlin'."
"I killed Sabretooth and I killed Mr. Sinister." She said as she began to cry even harder. Her whole body was shaking so hard that she had to sit down.
Wolverine then reached out and gently picked her up. As he began to carry her out of the room, she saw Gambit.
"Gambit," she whispered as she reached out for him.
He came over to her and took her hand. In a flash, she was in his mind. It did not feel the same way it usually felt when telepaths tried to enter his mind. She did not hurt him like they did, and he found he could not block her either. She came into his mind like a cat gently rubbing against it.
'Gambit I'm sorry I had to come in.'
'It all right Chere.' 'What so important dat you talk to Gambit like dis?'
'I need you to do some things for me please.' 'And please make sure the baby is taken out carefully!' 'I will care for her if you get what I need.'
Gambit walked beside Wolverine and the girl while she was in his mind. No one suspected anything. Wolverine carried the girl to the Blackbird. Gambit let go of her hand just before Wolverine took her in.
"It be all right Chere," Gambit said out loud. "Bete take good care o' you."
She smiled at him.
Beast showed Wolverine where he wanted the girl to be put and started to work on her. She was asleep before Beast finished. But she was still clutching on to Wolverine. He gently removed her hands when he was sure that she was asleep and went back in the building with everyone else.
There were no other survivors in the building. The girl that survived was in bad shape from starvation. The only reason she was a live at all was her healing factor. Which was now over loaded. The baby was full term and ready to be born. It took the X-Men twenty-four hours to get everything that they were going to take from the lab back to the mansion. Eighteen hours after they got home, Beast met everyone in the War room to give his report.
"Is she going to live?" "And what is the status of the baby girl?" Asked Storm with a little bit more concern then she usually showed.
"The baby is fine." "Lynx is suffering from starvation."
"I think that is what someone was hoping for." Bobby said. Looking around at the other people he quickly added, "I mean if she killed Sabretooth and Sinister." "The Marauders would not want her coming after them."
"Who and what are these children?" Scott asked.
"Well that is the interesting part." "They are not clones." "It seems that Sinister decided to do some regular fertility clinic breeding."
"What are you saying?" Questioned Jean.
"The children are originals." "The older girl Lynx is Sabretooth's daughter and infant girl is her daughter by an X-Man."
"Who?" Logan asked in a gruff rumble.
"Ah, funny you should be the one to ask Logan." Beast stated looking extremely uncomfortable and definantly not happy. "The baby girl is your daughter by Lynx."
Logan had been leaning against the wall in his usual casual fashion. At Beast's statement, Logan launched away from the wall like the wall threw him. "First that bastard Sinister makes a kid from Sabretooth and then one by me!" Logan stormed out of the room.
