Mutant Heart And Mutant Soul Chapter 13

I was starting to wake back up. My eyes were slowly starting to open. I groan as they were starting to open them my head was beginning to hurt, throbbing a little bit. I brought my hand to my head trying to get focus back into my eyes.

Suddenly I remembered something important.

The baby!

Instinctively I brought my hand to my stomach and felt relief when the little creature inside of me moved. I let out a sigh of relief and looked at my surroundings. I was in a completely different place than I was before. I was in a cell inside what seemed to be a dungeon. It had a great resemblance to one that belonged in a medieval castle. As I got up I spotted something else, my friends were different cells of their own. Scott and Jean were across while Wolverine was in a cell next to mine. They were all still unconscious.

I said "You guys! Wake up, wake up!"

It took a long time after I spoke when the others started to stir. It also took them a while to become fully awake again. Ace really did a number on them after she did me. Scott and Jean were slower to get up than Logan. Wolverine was a clueless as I was about the situation we were in now. My love was not in a good mood.

"When I get my hands on those five they're gonna wish they've never been born," spat Logan.

"Yeah they'd better stay clear of you, Wolverine," Scott said.

There was no mistaking the sarcasm in his voice.

Wolverine let out a growl at Cyclopes as he moved toward me. Unfortunately the bars on his cell prevent him from moving to my side. He was only able to put his hands through the bars and touch my face. Scott did the same with Jean, even though he couldn't embrace her he wanted to make sure she was all right. Once that was done we all tried to figure out what had happened to us and where we were. Well what happened to us was quite obvious but where we were was a different story.

Figuring out where we were was a puzzle for me but not for the others. Scott chuckled once he got a good look of the place.

He said "So this place again, eh?"

"Should've known he was behind this, those guys who attacked us are his goons," Logan said. Jean said "I'm not surprised we've been long overdue for an attack by him."

The three of them laughed at this, but I was still left in the dark, puzzled. After all I had no idea who it was they were talking about. Jean noticed the puzzled look on my face so she asked me what was causing me to be so puzzled at the time.

I said "I'm sorry you guys, but I have no idea who you're talking about or where we are."

My companions apologize for keeping me in the dark so they immediately went to explain things to me. Scott was the one to start things off.

He said "Sorry about that, Silverstream."

"That's all right, but can you at least tell me where we are," I said.

"That's easy we're in a medieval dungeon inside a castle. With all of the books you read I would've thought you knew that," said Logan.

"I realized that, Logan. Only what I want to know is where on the planet are we," I said, frustrated.

Scott said "If my memory serves me correctly we're somewhere deep in the folds of Antarctica."

"But it's so warm here. How can we be in Antarctica," I said.

"That's a very interesting story, Silver," Logan said.

The three of them now started to explain things to me about where we were.

As they were telling me about the place I was starting to feel amazed about what they were telling me. Now that I thought about it I remembered reading about something like this place in a book once. It was starting to make sense to me now. Only I still didn't know about whom we were dealing with. After the story was told my beloved was the one to finally tell me.

"Sinister," said Logan, scowling.

"Who's Sinister," I said, curious.

My question was answered as soon as it was spoken, but not by my friends or my beloved.

Before they could even speak again the door to the dungeons opened up and in walked our captor. At once I realized who this was, Sinister. This guy looked so much like a vampire, actually by the look of things I think he was part one. His skin was so pale, his lips were as red as blood and so were his eyes. Not only that but he had fangs coming from his mouth. Scott instinctively took Jeans hands through the bars of his cell and held her as close as the bars would allow him. Logan did the same with me in his cell. Sinister went over to Scott and Jean before he turned his attention over to us.

Sneering, Scott said "Sinister, I should've known you were behind this."

"Compassion has always been your greatest weakest Summers," Sinister said. A sneer appeared on his face as he said this. "You won't be getting away this time my friend."

Scott said "You think so, huh? We'll see about that." Scott now activated his power to blast out of his cell and shoot Sinister all the way over to the North Pole, nothing happened. Scott was completely stunned by this. "But how?"

The rest of us were equally amazed by this especially me. I had never seen anything like this happen to any mutant before. Sinister laughed out right at our expressions, laughed he roared. When he did I could now clearly see his fangs. This guy was definitely a vampire.

He said "Have you forgotten already? My cloaking device keeps you from using your powers along with, Ace."

I didn't like what I was hearing so I tried to activate my own powers. I concentrated very hard on my mark trying to make the light shine from it. Only there was just one problem, it wouldn't glow.

I gasped in surprise "He's right."

Sinister heard my voice and finally took notice of me. He turned his head and held me there in his gaze. Once he caught sight of me his expression completely changed into a smirk and did a small chuckle when he saw me.

He said "Ah we meet at last."

Sinister moved away from Cyclopes and Jean and toward my cell. When he saw this Wolverine held me even tighter through the bars of our cells.

Sinister had raised an eyebrow when he saw Wolverine and I move even closer to each other. The smirk on his face grew into an even larger smile showing me his fangs again. I flinched a little when I saw them. Those fangs of his were giving me a very uneasy feeling. A second later Sinister spoke to me with that voice of his. His voice had a kind of him to it and it was like an echo coming from a cave. His voice was beautiful but I wasn't going to let him know that.

Sinister said "You are the one called Silverstream, are you not?"

I narrowed my eyes and took a few steps back.

"Yeah it is, what's it to you," I said, skeptically.

"Why everything, My Dear," he said.

Sinister did something that really made me very uneasy, he entered my area. But he didn't stop there he kept walking deeper into my cell moving closer to me. I didn't like this not one bit. Every step he took toward me was every step I took back. Well this happened until I reached the back wall of my cell. Sinister didn't cease his advancement when he saw I was trapped against the wall.

Wolverine didn't like the situation at all. He growled at Sinister as he moved closer to me.

"Take one more step toward her Sinister and you're dog meat," he warned.

Sinister didn't pay any attention to Wolverine his mind was completely focused on me at the time. I was really starting to get quite nervous about this. Sinister stopped his advancement when he was about two feet away from me.

"This mark of yours suits you, Silverstream. It really brings out your eyes," said Sinister, toothily.

Sinister lifted up his hand and brought it toward my face. I flinch at his touch, but I didn't move away. His armor was cold just like his skin. Sinister moved the hair out of my face so he could get a clear look at my crescent moon. He stroked it with his index finger and that was when I knew I had enough of this. "Don't touch me," I said.

I moved out of his grasp and took a few more steps away from him. I went back to the side of my cell where Wolverine was and Logan came back to my side.

"There's no need to be so frightened, Silverstream," said Sinister.

"How do you know my name," I demand.

"Oh I know everything about you including some other things," said Sinister, knowingly.

Without warning Sinister turned his gaze away from my face and incredibly down to my stomach. I took in a very shaky breath at what he had just done. This was impossible he couldn't know about my child he just couldn't. Sinister saw the look on my face and he knew that we were both on the same page.

Sinister said "How is your charge doing?"

I didn't answer him I was too speechless to say anything. How could he know?! But then I finally managed to speak up.

"I don't know what you're talking about Sinister," I denied, shakily.

I tried to keep the tremor out of my voice. Apparently it didn't work. Sinister sensed my mood and he knew what he had to do.

He said "Oh I believe you do."

The next thing he did brought gasp out of all of us. Sinister reached out his hand and brought it to my stomach at the exact spot over my womb. Sinister started to rub my belly as soon as the palm of his hand touched it. This brought cries of outrage from my companions.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"Get your filthy hands off of her!"

But Sinister didn't listen to them he kept on rubbing the bulge of my stomach where my baby was growing.

"You must be three months gone," he said.

That confirmed it my worst fear was realized.

I couldn't hold in my emotions including my tears for much longer. My friends didn't have a clue of what was going on although Scott and Jean were now starting to suspect something. Scott and Jean were starting to get a pretty good idea.

Logan said "What is going on here and what in blazes are you two talking about?" Sinisters eyebrows shot up when he heard this and turned his gaze to Logan for a moment. Only a moment. Once Sinister recovered from his surprise he turned back to me.

"You didn't tell him," he said.

"Tell me what," Wolverine said.

Sinister laughed out loud at what Wolverine just said.

"Oh this is rich so rich, you really haven't told him," cackled Sinsiter.

"Tell me what," repeated Wolverine, shouting.

Sinister had a very wicked grin on his face and I realized what he was going to do before it happened. My eyes widened with a look of pure horror in them and on the rest of my face.

I shrieked "Don't tell him!"

"Your girlfriend is pregnant, My Friend," revealed Sinister, gleefully.

There was now complete silence inside this dungeon. No one dared to make a sound. None of my companions could believe what they had just heard especially Wolverine.

Wolverine isn't saying anything. He is completely in shock but in what seemed like forever he turned to me. The expression on his face showed that he was quite surprised by this bit of news. Wolverine turned to me once he was able to recover from the shock.

"Is this true," he said.

I nodded my head in silence my hair was covering my face so none of them could tell what I was thinking.

"Oh it's true all right, Wolverine. She's known about this for the past few months now. The child grows inside of her everyday along with its powers," said Sinister.

Sinister brought his hand up to my face and lifted my shin so he could look into my face. Tears were now forming in my eyes but they weren't coming out just yet. I was holding them in as best as I could. That grin of his was back on his face when he saw my pain. Logan, Scott, and Jean saw this and they didn't like how he was playing with me.

Scott was the one out of the three to come to my defense.

He said "Let her go, Sinister. You've got us. You don't need her."

"I believe I do. You see it wasn't any of you I want this time," admits Sinister. My companions were puzzled they couldn't figure out what he meant. It came into my head just before it was spoken. "No, no I don't want any of you. No, I'm after her baby."

As soon as he said this Sinister brought his attention back down to my stomach and I instinctively brought my hands up to cover my stomach in order to protect my baby.

"What do you want with my child," I said, my voice shook as I spoke.

I had the feeling I already knew the answer.

He said "I need the infant for my experiments. As young as the child is I will be able to mold its powers into whatever I please as it grows. I will be able to mold the baby into whatever I want it to be."

This got me very angry my maternal instincts took over a second later.

I said "You will not touch my baby."

"We'll just see about that, My Dear. We'll see," said Sinister.

Wolverine didn't like where Sinister was leading with this.

"If you hurt her or the child-," he said.

"You'll do what? You are powerless without your abilities. There is nothing you can do to stop me," taunted Sinister. Without another word Sinister turned around and walked out of my cell. Wolverine and Scott both tried to land some punches on Sinister as he passed by their cells again only they couldn't even reach him. On his way out Sinister turned back to us. "This isn't over you guys you will see me again soon very soon."

And with that he walked out of the dungeon and closed the door behind him.

Once Sinister left that was when I finally gave out. I couldn't hold myself up anymore, my legs gave out on me and I collapsed onto my knees on the floor. Tears were coming out of my eyes and uncontrollable sobs broke out of my chest. No matter how hard I tried I just couldn't stop them from escaping me. The others tried to comfort me but nothing they did or said to me would calm me down. I was so scared for my baby. I knew what Sinister was going to do to my child and I didn't like it one bit. Wolverine was especially worried about me now that he knew about the baby he was afraid I would miscarry and lose the child. This would be very dangerous for me it could even kill me if I wasn't careful now that the baby was at a size when it could. I only had one more month to do until I was out of the danger of miscarrying my baby which was too far from now.

Wolverine finally got through to me by calling me by that pet name he had made up for me.

He said "Silver, please get a hold of yourself." Immediately when I heard him call me by that name I brought my head back up and turned it toward Wolverine. Tears were still coming out of my eyes but I had finally gained control of the sobs coming out of my chest. Logan stretched his hand through his cell and gently touched the side of my face. "Silver, please you have to calm down this is not good for the baby."

"How are you doing it, Logan? In fact how are all of you doing it," said Silverstream, tearfully.

"Doing what, Silverstream," said Logan.

"Staying so calm I mean you just found out that I'm pregnant and this lunatic wants to take my child away from me," I said.

Jean said "Well actually Scott and I have known about it for a little while now."

"You see we've know ever since we saw you come out of the hospital," Logan said.

I said "Yes, I went there to get a check up for the baby."

Scott said "Ok now back to your other part of the question." Scott went back to having that serious demeanor of his. "I promise you he won't lay another hand on you or your baby."

"Guys I don't care what happens to me I'll go where I'm scent and I'll deal with it. But I don't want my baby threatened," I said, deeply rattled.

At that moment my baby gave me a little kick in the stomach. It was as if the child inside knew my right to protect him/her. Even though he/she was inside my womb it understood what I was saying.

Logan took his hand away from my face and took both of my hands in his own.

"Silver, I swear to you I will protect you and our child with my life," vowed Logan.

His words got me to look back up at him and this time a small smile managed to play on my face. Only this one didn't even come close to reaching my eyes. Logan could see the pain in them and he knew there wasn't a single amount of hope in my body. All three of them knew that nothing else they would say could give me any hope.

The next thing I said confirmed their thoughts.

I said "None of you have your powers and neither do I. There's no way we're going to get out of here at least not alive."

I looked at Scott and Jean and then back to Logan. The tears had stopped coming out before while I was speaking but now they came back in full. There was no stopping them this time. Logan and the others knew this so they kept quiet. The only thing Logan did was taking me in his arms and held me as close as he could. Another thing he did was kiss me on the forehead and he was starting to stroke my hair trying to calm me down again but more slowly than before. I slowly slipped into sleep Logan knew I need as much rest as possible for what was to come.

Back at the mansion on the other side of the world the rest of the x-men were trying to figure out what to do about the situation. The night was almost about them and they still hadn't figured out what to do yet. Calluses was with them Jubilee had called them in case they needed some more muscle support. The Professor had tried using Cerebro many more times to find us but he still couldn't find a trace of us anywhere. Like me they were starting to lose their hope and faith. Even Beast the genius of the bunch couldn't figure out what to do. Beast was completely stumped on this one.

He said "I am completely out of ideas. I can't figure out anything more to find them."

"Then we're screwed," Rogue said. plopping onto the couth right next to Gambit.

They all turned over to the Professor to see if he had any ideas about what to do. The Professor had his head in his hands trying to think of a way to get to us. Fortunately someone else did and that person was Jean.

Back at the castle the four of us were doing our best to hold out in our situation. Scott and Jean were starting to try and get some ideas but Logan and I had other things on our minds. But as I said before Jean was the one who thought of the idea. It didn't take long before she came up with it. Her eyes widened when it came to mind and she turned to Scott when she had it.

She said "I have an idea." "You do? What is it?"

"I'm going to try and contact the Professor," she whispered, secretively.

Scott said "Why are you whispering there's no one here."

"There's more ways than one to listen to a conversation, Scott," reminded Jean, making her point by motioning with her eyes in all directions.

Scott caught on immediately after she did this.

The two of them were thinking that even though Sinister and none of his men were in there at the time there could be hidden cameras anywhere around the room. Another way Sinister could be listening in would be using another one of his men we haven't seen yet.

Scott whispered "Ok I see your point. Now what's your plan? How in the world are you going to contact the Professor without your powers? We don't have any way to reach him or anyone else at the mansion for that matter," Scott said.

Jean said "I'll call to the Professor with my mind. I don't need my powers for that, Scott."

Nodding his head in agreement, He said "Then do your thing."

Jean nodded and went to do just what he said.

She closed her eyes and concentrated very hard even though she didn't have her powers she tried to reach the Professor. She called out to him with his name with all of the will power she could muster.

"Charles!" Immediately back at home the Professor heard Jeans call.

"Jean," he said in a questioning tone. Everyone else in the room shot their heads up when they heard this name. They didn't get a chance to ask him any questions because the Professor had held up his hand for silence. He was listening very intently to what Jean was saying in his mind. "Jean slow down I can't understand you."

So Jean repeated what she said to the Professor but this time a little more slowly. Charles listened very intently to what she was saying he didn't want to miss a single thing.

At one point Charles widened his eyes in surprise and.

He said "Where are you?" He listened again for a few minutes getting the information about our whereabouts. He had a raised eyebrow during the entire thing. When Jean was done talking to the Professor she broke the connection of their minds and turned back to Scott with a satisfied smile on her face and.

She said "It is done."

In the mansion once the connection was broken in their minds the others bombarded him with dozens of questions. He silenced all of them with another one of his hands and he explained everything to them. Although he didn't mention anything about the baby until the very end of his story. Everyone was completely shocked when they heard I was Sinisters target. But it didn't even compare to the one they heard about my baby and what Sinister wanted with it.

"That is completely barbaric," Beast roared.

Nightcrawler said "God will find a way to deliver them back to us and give us safe passage to them."

There was a tremor in his voice. But only the Professor was the one to notice it. He realized that since Nightcrawler was my boyfriend before Logan he would be worried about me. The Professor didn't bring it up he just left it be.

Storm was thoughtfully tapping her chin.

She said "So it's back to that place again."

"I think I've read something like this in a book once only I didn't know this place actually existed until last time," said Beast, amazed.

"Well now you know," Gambit said.

Beast gave him an annoyed glare.

Gambit ignores it like he always does.

Calluses said "We know where friends are we just need a way to get there."

"Well we have the black bird let's go. We know where we are so we don't need any more information than that," Jubilee said.

This is exactly what they did even the Professor went with them this time.

I have other grand news! I was a patron at New York Comic Con! Ah! I'd been dying to go for years and now I had the opportunity. The Jokers from Impractical Jokers have been here along with Tom Hiddleston and so many others. Over those few days I actually got my picture taken with a couple of other actors/actresses and some really great panels. It really is so exciting there. This is an opportunity of a lifetime so there's no way in hell that I was going to waste a single second of it. No one ever should with something like this. Ever! ;D

For future preferences I highly recommend that you all keep an eye out for when tickets for New York Comic Con are available for purchase again for next year. This is a huge event and you should jump on it whenever you have the chance.
