Hunters in a pack
It was a terrible night for me. Rage, anger and betrayal were abound and of course I was one the one committing these sins. But then again that's just my way, I work by myself it's easier that way.
It had been an hour since I had seen HOMe and the others, since I became an official outlaw in New York. It was also beginning to rain, just my luck. My thoughts though were not on the people I had angered, instead they were focused on trying to locate and hunt down the monster made from my DNA. Though those thoughts would be short lived as a SHIELD chopper came barreling down on my location. It stopped only five feet from the roof, it was unable to land on the cluttered building top.
When the door opened I wasn't surprised to see Nick Fury. However I was surprised to see Mystique there as well. Thankfully the hunter wasn't with them, at least not visibly.
"You just had to go and screw things up didn't you?" Fury was definitely pissed. "Can't you keep that temper of yours in check for even a few minutes!"
"Fury…" I said in a deep growl. "Shut up." It obviously shocked him as he blinked before responding.
"You had orders to work with Xanatos and the gargoyle clan, instead you went and got yourself back on the ten most wanted list, again! And you're telling me to shut up!" He was getting angrier, and not bothering to hide it.
"I keep telling you, I don't work well with others, exceptions of course are two of your agents, one of which isn't here." I growled as Mystique jumped to the roof.
"Oh, he's here he's just watching over the castle." She said with a sigh.
"Why are they here anyway? I thought you said they were on their own mission." A glare in my eyes letting on that I was suspicious.
"We were, then Gik got cornered and blew our cover." Mystiques sighed again as she walked over to my side. "Let's just find Leto and wipe him from existence, ok?"
"Yeah." I growled as I turned to leap off the roof, before I did though, I reached into the pocket of my trench coat and tossed the communicator that Fury had given me months before. "I quit, and you can take the apartment back." I didn't need to be facing either Fury or Mystique to know they were shocked.
"What brought this on?" Fury asked, more concerned then anything.
"For six months I've been recovering, doing your little errands. Tonight I was reminded what I was abandoning when I go on those missions." I gestured to the city. "I made a promise to myself, I have yet to fulfill it." With that I leapt off the building and to the darkened streets. I heard Mystique follow as she took the form of a bird.
As I landed with an almost silent thud, I looked up to see Mystique shift back into her normal blue-skinned self. A sly smile one her face, she was planning something, something I most likely would pay for in the end.
"I heard what you did." She said with an even bigger smile, then she looked serious. "Making the streets safer for the innocent, it's always been you. I'm glad you realized that too."
"I've always known it, tonight just made me prioritize." I said as I hefted a large sewer grate above my head. "Be careful, Raven I don't know what's down there." I said just as a razor sharp spike shot out of the sewer. I didn't even have to guess, it was Spyke, he soon followed the spike and attempted to deliver a powerful kick to my chest. He got the kick instead as Mystique slapped him into a wall.
As I watched him impact the brick wall, I just shook my head. He always was to hot headed. Even for me.
As Spyke slipped off into the darkness he could have sworn that the new attacker was Vile, but Vile was dead. Wasn't he? Then darkness.
When he woke up a few minutes later, though he was quite sure that the attacker was Vile. And the person who had attacked him, was Mystique. At the sight of the blue skinned mutant Spyke raised several large spikes from his exoskeleton and prepared to fight, that was until Vile slammed a balled fist onto his spiked dome.
"Show some respect, you idiot." Spyke heard Vile growl.
Spyke and I were never the best of friends, but we had a system. We respected each other, he was a warrior, I was a warrior. We just had different ways of fighting. His way, was to bare his fangs and wildly go at it, like he was doing now. Of course a bonk on the head and an insult later he was back to concentrating on me.
"You're supposed to be dead." He said in shock and confusion.
"Yes, and you're supposed to be in Bayville." I said with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, well, the Morlocks got to large and we had to move. New York was our best bet." Spyke said as he pointed to the sewer.
"Any large green ninja turtle down there?" Mystique chuckled.
"No, but there are some nasty ass vampires." Spyke said as Mystique stopped chuckling and rubbed her neck uncomfortably. "So what are you doing here?" He asked, turning back to me.
"Here to stop an evil clone from making a race of Xenomorphs with a mad scientist." I said it casually, and Spyke took it casually.
"Of course." He said with a sigh, "Ever since we've gotten here we've had troubles; the mutates, vampires, some strange woman trying to plow over all of our emergency exits, some one Destine..." Spyke said trying to pull the name from a hat.
"Dominique Destine?" Mystique said with a glint of hate. Oh goody, Raven's going to have a playmate later.
"Yeah!" Spyke said, then remembered I guess he remembered Mystique was his enemy. "Why do you care?"
"She works with SHIELD now." I grumbled, "Look can we talk below, I feel to exposed out here."
"Yeah, come on I'll take you to the others." He said as he jumped down.
"Great…" I grumbled. I didn't want to see the other Morlocks, but if they knew the system they could possibly know where Leto was hiding.
