World Of The Brotherhood
Chapter 4
Talking
Mortimer sat on the couch watching a comedy show. Zodiac came out in a hurry, and looked at him. He starred at her for a second, it was late and all the lights in the house where out and she was pretty wet, well besides her clothes. He remembered she had gone to take a shower and go to sleep, obviously she changed her mind.
"What?" he asked looking at her.
"You forgot something. You said you'd tell me about yourself, but you never did." she said sitting on the couch.
"Darn, I hoped you forgot." he said with a sigh.
"Well?" askedZodiac crossing her arms.
"Okay, my favorite color is green. I like to play guitar, I dislike singing, I'm not a good dancer. I like gold, I spend two hours in the mornin' spiking my hair. I tutor Pyro, I like Halloween, I like comedies, horrors, and sci-fi books with angst. My self loathing is 64 and myself tolerance is 24. I like football and being alone without others. I think I may like shopping now and if you laugh I'll hurt you, I like romances." Said Mortimer quickly.
"Okay, would you like to hear what I like about the Brotherhood?" asked Zodiac.
"Sure." he said turning off the TV.
"I like the boat and helicopter. It smells near some parts of the hallways that have not been washed. It's cozy and you." she said looking out the window.
Mortimer blinked a few times as he starred at her. He couldn't believe what her last line was, was she joking. No, she was not the type to joke about that kind of stuff. He couldn't think of anything to say. She stood up smiled and walked away with a wave.
IN MAGNETO'S OFFICE
"These our the plans for cerebro. Now if Zodiac is strong enough she should be able to control it." Said Magneto.
"What if she's not strong enough?" asked Mystique.
"Well if her telepathy is not strong enough, she will die or go in a mental state. Sabertooth get in here." said Magneto.
"Erik? If she's strong enough, then what will she do." Said Sabertooth walking in from watching the two from down the hallway.
"Then she will help us find more mutants and help us by destroying the humans." Said Magneto, putting his helmet away.
"I've been thinking. What if we could have some humans on our side or ones with spell powers." Said Mystique.
"Mystique!." said Magneto in shock.
"Listen, I was talking withZodiac today. After her and Mortimer's shopping trip. She knows some humans that have magic powers, strong enough to rival us. If we can recruite them, we could be even more powerful." said Mystique, sitting down.
"I see your point Raven, but what if they turn on us?"said Magneto in wonder.
"I thought we were doing something tonight?" asked Sabertooth leaning against the wall.
"Oh yes, the Scoress Stone, well let's gather the team." Said Magneto getting up and putting on his cape in helmet.
Sabertooth walked into the living room, Mortimer was sitting in the dark looking at a piece of paper. Mystique was heading into the kitchen whereZodiac was reading a book.Zodiac looked up and then at the clock and headed to her bedroom to get in her uniform. John was eating chips and was slightly confused.
"John, go get ready." Said Mystique walking past him.
"I don't have a ... never mind." said John finding her was the only one there.
ON THE HELICOPTER
"Okay is everyone on?" asked Mortimer looking at Mystique.
"No, John's coming right now." Said Mystique, looking out the window.
"Okay, I improvised with my normal clothes." Said John siting next to Zodiac.
"Nice Job." Said Zodiac looking at his out fit.
"I like yours." Said John looking at her dark purple uniform.
"Thanks, I havn't worn it for a couple years." she said looking at her outfit.
