X-Men UK: part 2 of 4
"I'm not going back, this is the farthest I've ever
got", "Leo your not going back", "that's right dude, your
sticking with us", Titan says as Warlock, Nightmare and Leo get out
of the car, "so dude what's your name?", "Leo Orias", "no
your real name?", leo looks weirdly up at everyone, "his other
name is Scion", "Scion hmm I dunno, I guess", "welcome to the
X-Men Scion", "thanks", eclipse puts a hand on scions shoulder
and smiles, scion looks up and sees her smile and feels warm and
fuzzy inside and sparks flash through his eyes, "we've got a
problem", everyone looks around as a small fluffy rat scurries over
to them from the train station and shifts into 3 foot rat boy,
"what's wrong critter?", genie ruffles his hair some upon his
return, "they've figured out they're not on the train and they
know you're here thanks to some old fashioned gothic girl, long
black hair with purple fringe and eerily cute", "that's my big
sister V. shes a telepath that can turn anyone into dolls or teddies,
it wears off after an hour or if she changes you back", " well at
least we know the humans are safe", "okay Peace Keepers we have a
train to catch and they are in our way. Keep damage to a minimum, the
human might be dolls but they are still present use caution and lets
go home", all of them except scion and nightmare shout, "yeah",
"I might be the guest and the prize but I wanna fight too",
"scion your more than welcome to but stay with titan and eclipse, I
want you two to stay with our guests while genie, critter and I take
the lead", 2 women come out of the train station entrance, "hand
over Leo and the traiter and no harm will come to thee", "sounds
like a good deal to me", critter speaks up, "that's just wrong
critter so damn wrong and you know it", titan replies, "your not
taking our friends and that's final so stop trying to bargain with
peoples lives and leave this place and go back to whatever hell hole
you climbed out of", the 2 women look furious and storm into the
station, "now you've done it!!", titan looks oddly at
nightmare, "the blackrose syndicate are female supremacists, it's
one thing to tell them to go away but it's a totally different
thing to be told that by a guy. Were not going anywhere without a
confrontation now", "well then lets face our problems head on",
they all start walking towards the station but scion holds back
standing in one place slightly shivering. Eclipse is the first to
notice and walks back to him, "Scion its ok, you don't have to be
scared, I'll take care of you I promise", and with that she hugs
him and realises he's not shivering with fear but they are both
encased within a miniture ice berg before she can react and a teenage
girl walks out from behind the ice wearing a blue corset and a pair
of jeans, "Hey V I Got Your Bro Back", everyone turns round in
surprise at the voice and V leads lots of women out of the train
station on the other side of them, Scion hugs back when he sees V
come out of the station, "don't let her get me", he whispers
with a wash of real fear flowing over him before fainting in her
arms. Outside the ice the women have gathered around titan, genie,
critter, warlock and nightmare, "you had fair warning and you
failed to oblige. Now you can either die or become slaves to the
blackrose syndicate, which ever comes first I don't care", a few
of the women raise their hands to attack and suddenly a massing of
light builds up inside the ice berg.
