X-Men UK: part 1 of 4
"C'mon Leo, you cant stay here any longer. I'm getting you out of here", "but but….. She will be angry if I try to escape again", "she is your mother, not your owner. Besides I've made arrangements your coming whether you like it or not", "I'll come any place is better than here", the tall lady unfastens the chains around Leo's neck and wrists then looks out the door, "the coast is clear", "but where are we gonna go?", "don't you worry about that, everything is taken care of!!", she grabs one of Leo's rubber mitten'd paws and drags him out the door running down a planned route of corridors and upstairs towards a balcony, suddenly a door opens behind them and Leo's big sister "V" walks out of the door, the tall lady pulls Leo behind a curtain to hide. V looks down the corridor thinking she heard something then shrugs it off scratching her arm and yawning walking down stairs , "I dunno why mum loves the haunted castles", v disappears from sight, "that was close, now we're home free", Leo smiles as they sprint for the balcony and the tall lady looks over waiting for the guard to turn the corner then starts to climb over the balcony to a string of blankets tied together. Leo grins wickedly and grabs the tall lady and stands on the edge of the balcony wall he lifts her into his arms and jumps all the way down landing safely on his paws, the lady looks shocked at him, "What? It was quicker than your way", "you've tried this far too many times. Ahem okay lets go to the front gates someone's waiting for us", they run for the gates through the early morning mist as they get closer they see a guy standing beside a convertible with his hands raised suddenly the gates melt into a solid puddle of metal and an alarm sounds inside the castle behind them, "we're not gonna make it", "we'll make it", the keep running as a load of women pour out from the castle and start throwing energy projectiles at them. Leo growls as one of the projectiles skims his tail and then gnaws the rubber mittens off and leaps onto the back seat of the car and shoots the projectiles out of the sky with bolts of lightning from his claws as the lady reaches the car, "okay warlock lets go before we start a war", "oh, like you haven't already added fuel to the fire by bringing him", "I had to, if you knew what I knew you'd want to break them down too plus he's probably the biggest dent you can make in their organisation", "this isn't easy you know, whoa!" a physical ball of psychic energy flies straight over Leo's head, they both climb in and then warlock revs the car into reverse and zooms off into the morning mist and of a press of a button the roof slots over and Leo sits down, "hey kid there's some clothes on the backseat they should be your size", "thanks mister", "no problem kiddo. Just call me warlock ill be one of your teachers at the academy", "thanks for doing this Richard", "were not out of the woods yet. The Peace Makers youth squad are waiting for us at the train station. If those women were to make a comeback they'd do it there", Leo rummages through the clothes and puts on a pair of black jeans and tears a hole in the bum for his tail, "when we get to the train station, you'll have to put the cloak on as well, we might all have rights now but people will still get unnerved about a young lion walking amongst them", Leo looks down and the lady looks back to him from the passenger seat, "its only till we get to the academy, when we get there you wont have to worry about your mom and v coming for you…", "thank you miss nightmare", he whispers and she smiles. Suddenly warlock stamps on the brakes as titan is running towards the car from the station and genie and eclipse fall out of the sky and titan catches them both before they hit the car "owyowow damn that hurt", "that's gonna leave a mark", genie and eclipse moan as they climb off titan and warlock climbs out of the car with the roof collapsing back, "what's going on?", "some women broke onto the platform while a cute little gothic girl turned all the humans into dolls", Nightmare and Leo say in unison, "V" .
