New Exiles Ch 2
The New exiles arrive into a world they are far more familiar with; they quickly take shelter in a café while they discuss their current assignment.
"So what do we have now?" Wild thing asks while sipping her drink.
"The x-cellents, good guys as far as anyone is concerned. They are x-23, jubilee, rogue, shadow cat, storm and jean Grey." Portal says.
"And what are we supposed to be doing with them?" Rehulk asks looking over at wild thing.
"I honestly don't have a clue all it says is "the awakening phoenix shall be eaten" I mean c'mon what does that even mean?"
"I'd guess we have to protect the jean grey after the phoenix manifests itself" Phermone says.
"Then we have a distance to travel nothing a couple of portals won't fix." Portal opens a portal underneath them and they disappear into it. Then another and they arrive outside the Baxter building.
"They live in the Baxter building? Then where do the fantastic five stay?" Wild thing asks.
"Well there isn't a fantastic anything in this world instead of just the four of them reed brought along four others and now they are the awesome eight Mr. fantastic Reed Richards, Invisible woman Sue Richards, the human torch Johnny Storm, Thing Ben Grimm, the Hulk Bruce Banner, She hulk Jennifer Banner, Doc Samson, and the human spider Peter parker."
"Peter named them didn't he?" Phermone asked while shaking her head.
"How'd you know?" Portal asked looking at her.
"I'm married to him in my world and that's his sense of humor." She said as her costume shifted down into street clothes. "Well let's knock and hope for the best."
MJ rang the doorbell and waited when the door opened Jarvis appeared "What can I? Mrs. Parker what can I do for you today? I thought you where supposed to be in Europe for your music tour?"
"That's a different Mary Jane can me and my friends come in we'll explain later."
"Of course but you all must follow me" Jarvis leads them to a small corner room where he stops and points to scanners inside of it "please be scanned while I make a call."
MJ and the others stepped through the scanner each one setting it off and having their powers recorded onto a database.
"Wow suga's you're really loaded for bear." Rogue said as she came into the room. "Jarvis called me down to speak with ya so what's up?"
One lengthy explanation later
"So you've no actual idea why you're here just that weird little riddle? It ain't much help either."
"No it isn't so I guess we just sit and wait." MJ said sipping some coffee Jarvis brought her.
A huge explosion rocks the building "apparently not long suga, that was Jean's room."
They all rush upstairs to jeans room, which is melting away as the phoenix manifests itself, rogue, pulls off her gloves and rushes inside. Rogue begins to scream as she comes in contact with Jean sucking away part of the phoenix force, the two begin struggling as Rogue absorbs more and more power from jean.
"Shit it's got to be rogue" Rehulk transforms and charges in he grabs Rogue's arm and pulls her backwards off of Jean. The separation doesn't stop Rogue from absorbing more power from Jean.
"Portal port me and Jean as high into the sky as possible," Dark Hawk says as he flies into the inferno that is Jean's room.
Portal sends the two up into the sky as far as he can manage, before ducking back as Rogue attacks the group with searing flames. "Idea's?"
"I can stop her but I have to be close enough and right now that's not possible, we've got to take this outside." Iron man says jumping from behind the wall he blasts Rogue with Repulsor blasts sending her out the window, just as the rest of the x-cellents arrive.
"Get them they attacked rogue!" Storm yelled sending a bolt of lighting at Iron man.
"Take care of Rogue we've got these girls" Rehulk says blocking the lightning with his own body.
"Done we should avoid hurting anyone if we can though" Iron man flew out the hole in the wall.
"I don't know if they'll be that gentle but we should definitely try not to permanently damage anyone." phermone said as she disappeared into the background as shadow cat charged her.
Wild thing fell back from x-23 "auntie x you don't want to do this, we're not here to hurt anyone of you."
X-23 slashed with her claws and Wild thing leapt up and over narrowly avoiding them and striking with her own psychic claws. X-23 growled and rolled forward away from them, leaping up she twisted and charged again this time attacking with a roundhouse kick. Wild thing ducked and slashed her leg forcing her again to roll back away from the pain of her psychic claws.
"You can't beat me auntie x we spar every chance I get I can't beat you there and you can't beat me here I know everyone of your moves." She side steps into x-23 avoiding her claws and stabbing x-23 in the face with her psychic claws "please stop fighting me."
Rehulk is blasted by Jubilee's pyrotechnics "please tell me that did something to you? Anything?"
"Nope sorry little one I'm way out of your weight class honestly I could beat the whole rest of your team by myself right now. Do yourself a favor and stop fighting."
"After what you all did to rogue no way! I'll just have to hit somewhere else." Jubilee blows a whole in the floor that Rehulk drops through.
Storm launches a thunderbolt at portal he opens a portal and redirects the attack right back into storm knocking her out easily. "Hey kid catch." he tosses something at jubilee, she reflexively ducks it explodes and covers the area with gas and she passes out. "Told her to catch."
"Look you can't hurt me kitty so just stop and listen to me" Phermone dodged out of Shadow cat's reach again "we are not bad guys ask Jarvis he knows what's up."
"Fine I will, Jarvis who are these people?" The intercom lights up next to her.
"The new exiles they came from an alternate universe to protect Jean from something that was going to eat her."
"Damn alright, cease fire, everyone."
Outside
Iron man dodges another blast from Rogue phoenix, and flies in as quickly as possible hitting her with replusor blasts to distract her landing next to her as she hit's the floor he flies in quickly and applies a small device to Rogue. Pressing a button on his armor the device knocks rogue out as everyone comes out of the Baxter building.
"She'll be out for a while now where's dark hawk and gene?" Iron man asked.
"Up there!" Shadow cat said pointing up into the sky.
High above the earth.
Dark hawk dodged his dark force hawk construct battling with Jean's phoenix force. The two birds clawed and raked at each other each trying hard to kill the other, the phoenix went for a peck attack and got it's neck opened up by dark hawks talons. The phoenix rocked back in pain and received another slash from dark hawk's talons; the hawk bit into the phoenix then swallowed her whole.
Down on earth
"I think it's almost over up there." Storm says.
Everyone watches in stunned silence as dark hawk swallows Jean grey, a blinding light appears in the sky and slowly a new light emerges black and orange. Slowly a distinctly feminine looking shape came down to land near them.
"I know what the riddle meant now" a feminine dark hawk stood "I was supposed to eat the phoenix and to become part of each other." Dark hawk changes, slowly turning into Jean grey. "This is the end of my journey with you my friends from here on out you are on your own we are one being and we belong here and here we will stay."
"But there's supposed to be six of us"
"There is" said a new voice turning to look they see a young man about 6 foot tall "I'm your new member my name is Cliff Kent or Kral el but you'll know me more by the name super doomsday. And we should be heading on here very soon."
"Good bye my friends stay alive and fix your worlds." Jean says waving as the new exiles disappear.
