Sweat dripped tantalizingly down Tracy's forehead. Slipping through the shadows she listened for the signal to move in. The barest of whistles could be heard on the wind, reaching her ears just barely. Glancing at Snow, together they appeared to glide across the grass until they reached the entrance to the large, metal building. Waiting patiently for Snow to carefully freeze the lock on the doors so they could be pushed open, the tiger woman kept a vigilant watch on their surroundings. She could smell the nervousness in the air from her friends as they waited for the signal to enter from Tracy. Snow tapped her on the arm lightly and she quickly went to work snapping the lock with her sharp claws. As soon as the lock was broken she leaned against the door with her claws driven deep into the metal and pushed with all her strength. The door inched open under her power and she held it open while her teammates slipped inside the facility. Once everyone was inside she followed them quickly before the doors could reclose.
As soon as she was inside Tracy inspected her friends. Most of the Creed family were relaxed and looked prepared for action, along with Nightcrawler. The others that had not had any experience in the field were sweating heavily. Nodding towards Raven, whose calm red eyes spoke of inexperience, she started walking swiftly and silently down the halls. Selecting different people she would send them off into different directions until all who were left with her were Nightcrawler and Snow. When they came upon the door that Tracy was looking for she stretched out her telepathy to see if there were people inside. Feeling several entities she focused on the part of their brains that would put them to sleep. Hearing footsteps coming down the hall she searched their mind quickly to see who it was, feeling a guard she made a motion towards Kurt. He disappeared and reappeared quickly, leaving the stench of brimstone in the air. He nodded towards her, telling the tiger woman that the guard was officially out of commission.
Snow quickly went to work on freezing the lock on the door while Tigre and Nightcrawler patiently waited for her to finish. Hearing the lock snap under the intense cold Tracy dug her claws into the lock and broke it easily, hauling the doors open with all of her strength they entered the room and went to work. Stepping over the sleeping bodies on the floor, the tiger woman took a look into the files. She sifted through the pointless information while searching for the things that she wanted to find. Hearing a door to her right open her head snapped up, swinging her long black hair out of her face. Seeing a young man standing there, eyes aglow with a deadly bloodlust made Tracy stand up. Snow and Nightcrawler watched in fear as she walked up slowly to the man. Entering his mind telepathically she found only a desire to kill. Attempting to shut his mind down only enraged him further. He reached out to her, long metal claws sprouting from his finger tips, causing blood to drip from his hands. He seemed unaware of the damage to his body and tried to slash at her.
Tracy gripped his arms and easily slammed him to the floor. Her amber eyes watched him carefully as he swiftly leaped to his feet and charged at her. The lack of experience behind his motions told her that he had only gone through the brainwashing stage, his training had not been complete. Getting nicked with his long metal claws made her more cautious however, a long gash split her arm from wrist to elbow. She smiled ferociously as she saw doubt spread across his features when her arm healed as soon as the cut was inflicted. Dashing towards her enemy when he was still worried she grabbed and tossed him into the door. The large dent that was left after he landed made her chuckle. Three fingered hands grabbed her arms and held her back from making the kill, turning towards Kurt she growled at him.
"He iz just a child Tigre." Nightcrawler's soft spoken words had an impact in Tracy's mind and she realized she had, yet again, let her bloodlust take over her mind. Nodding to him he let go and she walked towards the young man. He looked no younger than fourteen now that the bloodlust was gone from his eyes. Placing a gentle hand on his shoulder she stared directly into his eyes. Entering his mind she talked to him.
"I don't wanna kill you kid, please don't make me." Tracy telepathically pleaded to the teenager. He slowly nodded his head and sat up, brown eyes still watching her carefully. Standing up she went back over to the files she had been inspecting before the interuption. Memorizing the information that she found important together the group exited the control and went in search of the laboratory.
OoOoOoOoOoOo
Diable couldn't belive his eyes. He and Axle had stumbled upon this room on their search for the rest of the group after they had finished their original task and had been astounded when they found what was inside. He was horrified. In the center of the room there were metal tables, and on these tables there were children. They appeared no older than Alexandra. What was worse was the condition they were in. Each child was strapped tightly to the tables with metal clamps, but the tortures inflicted upon them varied with each person. One child in particular had knives sticking out of his arms and legs, chains made of metal thorns were wrapped around his body. Another child appeared to have every bone in his body protruding through his skin, each one broken. The sight was a terrible one to say the least. Other people, these ones older, were chained to the walls, suspended from hooks on the walls.
Walking closer to one of the children he noticed the tear stains on the little boys face. Worse yet, the tears still falling. Blaise turned towards Raven and motioned him to come closer. Axle walked slowly towards the table and glanced down at the child. Noticing the tears on the little boys face he bit his lip. The two men looked at eachother for long moments before nodding. Blaise laid a gentle hand on the child's cheek and watched as his eyes slowly opened. Yellow eyes stared back at him.
"No more pain please, I just wanna sleep." Both of them were surprised that the boy was able to keep a sentence, they had figured with all the pain being inflicted he wouldn't be able.
"Blaise not gon' hur'cha petit." He softly whispered the boy. Axle nodded next to him.
"I won't hurt you either." His words sounded strangled but that was probably because the tall man was now crying.
"Kill me, please." The soft requst from the young boy made Blaise sigh.
"I don' know if I can."
"Please." Conflicting thoughts ran through both men's minds. Blaise and Axle both stared at the child, contemplating his request. A clawed hand was placed on each man's shoulders. They looked up, surprised to see Tracy standing there.
"It's okay boys, I'll take care of it." Her reassuring words made both men relax. They muttered their thanks before looking at the kid one last time. "Wait for me outside." Her command was answered by the boys slowly walking outside and closing the door behind them. To Tracy's shock she found the boy she had fought earlier next to her.
"Let me help you." His words were quiet but commanding. She immediately shook her head.
"No kid, I don't know how many you might've killed but enoughs enough." The vehemance in her voice was overlooked by the boy.
"No, they are my family, I need to help them." Brown eyes stared pleadingly into her amber ones and she couldn't turn him down again.
"Okay, but make the deaths quick." Tracy turned to the child before her then, his red hair and yellow eyes reminding her strangely of someone. Mystique! When she was going through the files earlier she had seen a picture of a woman with red hair and yellow eyes, the child looked just like her. The little boy laying before her looked at her pleadingly.
"Are you going to kill me?" His words were hushed but she could feel the pain behind them. She nodded slightly. He smiled at her. "Good, make it quick please." He closed his eyes then. Tracy was ready to shut his mind down when she heard his voice again.
"Wait!" She looked at him questioningly. "I'm experiment #356, but one of the nicer scientist ladies calls me Alex." Tracy was baffled by this little piece of information. "I just wanted somebody to know." His answer was enough and he closed his eyes yet again. This time, when Tracy shut his mind down, she had no interuptions.
OoOoOoOoOoOo
(A/N) That chapter was rather depressing. I didn't wanna get everybody killed, nor did I want peoples sad when I started but as I wrote I felt the need for depression. Remember to review! -Sabeybaby
