X-Men: Fate
Rogue's Gallery
"Since when was the Brotherhood a babysitting service?" Quicksilver asked.
"Once I've gone to see Destiny, we'll know how to proceed," Rogue said. "Until then, keep quiet Quicksilver."
"Besides, these are no longer kids," Psylocke said. She stood beside Rogue in front of the new members. "These are our new siblings."
"You've been training them," Havok said. "That's why you've been out of action for the past couple of weeks."
"Yes," Psylocke said. "Rogue requested that I take them under my wing, and I accepted her request."
"I still don't think we can trust her," Quicksilver spat.
Rogue shot him a venomous look. "You don't have to trust her. You don't have to even be here. She's with me. If you have a problem, leave."
"Rogue," Azazel began, teleporting on the other side of her. "If he has finally become too much of a nuisance, let me handle him."
"It's his choice," Rogue said. She turned from Azazel to Quicksilver. Quicksilver said nothing. "Psylocke, introduce them."
"Yes," Psylocke said. "Of course. Azazel, Havok and Quicksilver, I am proud to present to you the new members of our Brotherhood. You knew her as Lupita Conejo, a young woman who suffered at the hands of the Purifiers. Now, you will know her as Nova. With her ability, Photon Regulation, she can move at the speed of Light and produce dangerous impulses and destructive energy. She is a welcome addition to our team."
Quicksilver laughed. "She can move at the speed of Light? Looks like you and I need to have a little race. See who's faster."
"Old man, you couldn't hold a candle to me," Nova said.
"We'll see about that," Quicksilver said.
"Settle down," Havok told them, as they looked like they were about to take each other out.
"Next," Psylocke continued, "we had Aimi Yoshida, a young woman whose family sent her away to save her from the chaos of the world. She will now be known as Obsidian. Her ability, Density Control, makes her capable of close range and long range assaults. She is a mountain that cannot be moved with strength to overpower and endure."
"Sounds like a real powerhouse," Havok said.
"I do my best," Obsidian said.
"I'll see to it that you do," Havok said.
"Finally, Leon Grimm," Psylocke went on. "He is now Phantom. Astral Possession, his ability, will take us to greater heights. He won't be seen or heard until he strikes. And by then, it will be too late. He's a young man after my own heart."
"Perhaps he'll be after mine as well," Azazel said. "The art of darkness isn't a plaything boy, but if you learn from us, you'll be better than the rest."
"Anything you have to teach me," Phantom said, "I am willing and able to learn."
Azazel revealed a wicked grin. Psylocke eyed him. " I won't let him dig his claws too deep into you." She spoke to Obsidian and Nova too. "This goes for you too. They might have chosen their favorites, but at the end of the day, you're still under my care. Don't forget it."
Obsidian, Nova and Phantom bowed. "Yes Mistress."
"I'll leave you three in their capable hands," Rogue said to them. "If you have any problems, let me know. I won't let anything happen to you." She turned to Azazel. "I need your ability." He held out his arm to her, and Rogue absorbed his ability before she turned back to the three. "From here on out, you're not with Psylocke, you're not with Havok, Azazel or Quicksilver. You're with me. All of you are with me. And with me, together, we are going to change everything."
With that, Rogue teleported from the room but not before she watched the Brotherhood members, her team, all nod in agreement.
