First I wana thank nasakea again for your help with my character, for if you hadn't helped me decide well the next few chapters would've been hell. Great minds think alike huh? Okay folks just so all of you who are actually reading this story: Story will most times be updated from Thursday-Sunday. Thursday is the start of my weekend so its usually the time I'll upload or push myself to write it all in one day. Also, this was done on Sunday but since i was unhappy with the final product, still am, it took awhile.
I'm glad you liked the fight and how I'm portraying your character X, I try my best to not massacre them. To Blix: Glad the Bailey and Zack parts amused you, I was going for amusement. Shifter128: What character did you send in? I don't recall one by your penname, but if you send it to my email then I'll see if I can fit it in.

Out Manned
Outskirts of New York – Undisclosed locationAngela or Prowl as she was now calling herself was putting the finishing touches on her room. After her fight with Paul her group of mutants exited one of the black holes and ended up at some mansion surrounding by woods. According to one of the girls, their boss Shriek had "accommodated" this house from a lonely rich guy.
"So the owner of the house she was living in was killed so they could live in it." Angela said with a shrug of her shoulders, after all she wasn't with this group for their views it was strictly revenge.
Danielle Finazzo walked through the halls of the teams recently acquired home. The house was definitely a step up from the places she had been living until the group found her.
She originally was from Victor Vally, California. There she lived with her abusive father who was obsessed with being the best, from the best cars, best restaurants, etc. So when Danielle got a bad grade in school, he made sure she didn't eat until that grade was brought up to an A+. When she would receive a straight A report card, her father would boast about it to the neighbors. When her powers surfaced things only got worse, her father said she was a mistake and kicked her out of the house, but not before she got the family dog to do a little revenge for her. To cover up her absence, her father told everyone that she'd been accepted to a boarding school in England.
None of that mattered to her now, she was better off and he could die a horrible death, preferably dying to breast cancer. Now she would make something of herself. Shriek had promised her that she'd show her father he was wrong for what he had done. Though Shriek wouldn't elaborate Danielle accepted her invitation to work for her. In fact, now she was on her way to get the new girl Angela to meet with the group for a mission briefing.
Angela had begun lacing up her boots, when she got a scent in the air. Seconds later the door opened and in stepped one of the girls from the team she was now a member of. If she remembered correctly the girl's name was Danielle. Angela had planned on letting off some steam in the wooded areas outside the house, but she knew that would have to wait.
"Ah your moved in. Good. Shriek needs us to meet her in her chambers. You don't want to keep her waiting." Dainelle explained, then after she said her business she left closing the door behind her.
This would be the first time Angela would meet their illustrious boss. After finishing her shoes, she threw on her trench coat and followed Danielle's scent to a pair of large mahogany doors, inside she could hear hushed conversations. She opened the doors and took in the sight.
The walls were lined with books showing the previous owner had a thing for books.A thin layer of dust covered them showing they hadn't read since the previous owner lived here. The floor was a hardwood floor with a large rug that spread across the room, from the doors behind the large oak desk. The desk was filled with papers, a pencil cup full of pens and things of that nature, a lamp, and a computer. Behind the desk was a large window that covered the back wall and reached from the bottom of the floor to the ceiling.
Behind the desk was a woman with dark black hair, her outfit matching her hair. Her skin was rather pale, it seemed to even have a slight blue tint to it. Her eyes were both blue, the left eye howeverwas surrounded in a black marking. She wore a shade of blue lipstick that matched the look of the woman.
"Now that all of you girls are here it's time to get down to business. After our last encounter with Jack and his lackeys" Shreik began as she eyed each of her team. "I have decided that we will show them a lesson this time." Shreik then stopped and let what she had just said sink in. "Now for which if you girls I will allow to fight tonight, once you see the location I think it will become clear." Shreik pushed out of her chair and made her way out of the room.
Angela stood in the study feeling slightly confused. Was she supposed to follow? Or perhaps stay? Her question was answered as each of her teammates begin to file out of the office in the direction of their leader, Angela quickly followed suit.
The gaggle of girls met with their leader on the steps of their current home. Shreik turned around to face the girls and then smiled again. "Now Erythra if you would be so kind as to open up one of your portals, we will be on our wayNew York CityZoo."
Erythra nodded her head and did as her leader asked. After one of her black holes opened up from out of her hat Shreik had them step in one after the other. After Erythra stepped in the hole closed up leaving Shreik alone on the steps.
The steps of the manor grew quiet and the sun was beginning to grow brighter. Shreik took a breath and quickly sent her left elbow go behind her smacking something hard. She turned around to see a shadow figure in the shape of a large nutcracker. Her face changed to a happy one, "Finally some fun." She said aloud to no one in particular as she sent her fist into the stomach causing the shadow to dissipate. Suddenly she was surrounded by shadow figures many in the outline of humans, the only thing the showed besides black were the white eyes.
Shreik quickly dodged a punch and sent her fist forwardkickingher leg backwardtaking out two shadow figures. She then quickly performed a sweeping kick, again the shadows disappeared. For every one shadow she took down two more took their place.
This event continued for twenty minutes until it finally started to take its hold on the mutant. She however didn't stop she just let out a sonic blast big enough to obliterate each shadow figure, which it did.
"You've grown weaker." Shriek said calling out to the person she knew was there. "What is it you want?"
Out of the doorway stepped a figure in a black cloak. She stepped into the sunlight but kept her cloak covering her. "What do you plan to do with these girls?" The cloaked figure asked.
"What do you think?" Shriek replied as she approached the cloaked figure.
"That stunt didn't work with the Symbiote and the clone, what makes you think it will now?"
"No, my plans are different now. These girls are a good group and with a few new recruits my plan will come into play and not even Jack and his brainwashed kids will be able to stop us." Shriek walked into the doorway to stand side by side with claoked person.
The cloaked figure didn't turn her head but continued to stare out into the woods. "Stronger then your last group?"
"Yes…and this time we won't have a traitor, who forgot who taught her control." Shriek said her face turning into a grimace.
"I was no traitor. I just left."
"Before the time when your teammates needed you most? You let them die! For what? Huh! What?"
"Your alive too Shriek, both you and I lived. You know very well it was because of Jack, he saved both us. You were our...their leader. It was you who allowed them to die."
"It won' t happen this time, there are no men in this group to slow us down." Shriek had run out of patience. "We're done here. leave!" Shriek turned to face the cloaked figure but the figure had already left. With a growl Shriek slammed the door causing the sound to echo throughout the forest on the perimeter.

(I may have typed Shiek instead of Shriek a few times, so if you notice I'm sorry. I'll also try harder next time)
