World of The Brotherhood
Chapter 5
The Plan
After the battle with the X-men, the Brotherhood sat back at the base resting. Magneto had actually fallen for a trick of the X-men. Switching the jewel with a fake one. Magneto now sat in his office waiting for Mystique, again.
"Yes Erik?" asked Mystique closing the door.
"Charles knows about my plan, the one involving a cerebro." said Magneto, rubbing his temples.
"Then well wait for the right time. I mean Zodiac may not be strong enough to get rid of the whole human race at once. Maybe one at a time, or maybe we could get more followers." said Mystique, trying to reassure Magneto.
"Thank you my dear. Maybe your right. But if I know Charles, he'll try to persuade her otherwise, or have one of the X-men talk to her without knowing." said Magneto, playing with the clank balls.
"All the better we try and in courage togetherness." said Mystique.
"That will never happen my dear, and if she gets close to one of our men; what if they get in a fight, a serious one." said Magneto.
"Me and Victor fought and we still work together." said Mystique.
"Maybe your right dear, but do you realize what we just said?" asked Magneto, looking at his helmet.
"Yes, but it may work." said Mystique with a shrug
IN THE KITCHEN
"John, what are you doing? Blimey." said Mortimer as marshmallows and everything that could make a hot coca was on the ground.
"Hey, Sabertooth did some of it." said John in defense.
"I wouldn't doubt it, where is he anyways?" asked Zodiac, sitting at a chair not covered in coca mix.
"I think he said he had to go get dinner." said John.
"Must mean where having BBQ." said Mortimer.
"Good thing summers almost gone. . ." said Zodiac.
"Wait, what about my schooling?" asked John, happily.
"Magneto elected me, Mystique, and Zodiac as your teachers." said Mortimer, pouring some coffee.
"What about Sabes?" John asked raiding the fridge.
"What's would he show you?" asked Mystique, walking in with Magneto behind her.
"Wait, what are you three teaching me?" asked John in wonder.
"Martial Arts and Tech. As well as part time Art." said Mortimer, hopping over the counter and to the couch.
"Home economics, History, and the rest of your art." said Zodiac with a yawn as she stretched.
"I'm teaching you math, hacking, and Chemistry." said Mystique.
"You thought you where going to get out of school didn't you?" asked Mortimer with a smile.
"Hopefully yes." said John, sitting down.
"I have a question, what the hell happened to the kitchen?" asked Magneto almost slipping on coca powder.
"You should get out of there before Pyro turns you into part of a pudding or something." said Mystique.
"What's for dinner?" asked John.
"1. . . 2. . . . 3 . . . BBQ!" said Mortimer counting down to what Sabertooth would say.
"Ha Ha." said Sabes in a growl.
Zodiac's cell rang. Everybody looked at her purse oddly, including her. She opened it up and read the name. Before she could answer it went off. She realized everyone was looking at her.
"I'm going to work, that was my partner." she said simply.
"So. . . . . where do you meet him, is he human, what's his name?" asked Magneto.
"Why do I feel like it's my first date all over again?" she asked herself.
"He left a few things out thought; When are you going to be home? Where are you going? And How can he reach you?" asked Mystique with a yawn.
"Exactly." said Magneto starring a her.
"By the bus station on main, yes he is a mutant, his name is Blaze, he also stays hidden like me. I'll be home when i finish my case properly. Strike that, I have to get Blaze to his surprise party." said Zodiac, in an annoyed voice.
"I have to do the same thing." whispered John, with some nods from the rest of the team.
"Mortimer." said Magneto as Mortimer was about to eat, and Zodiac left.
"I'm never going to have a decnet meal." said Mortimer standing up and following after her.
"We'll save you two some food." said Mystique.
AT ZODIAC'S WORK
"You know something Angel, we should be detectives." said Blaze, taking off his tie and stepping on it.
"What makes you think that?" asked Zodiac.
"The fact that, we basically do similar things, but there's is more exciting." said Blaze happily.
"I guess your right, you are a paparazzi." said Zodiac.
"I prefer. . . . yeah paparazzi." said Blaze, with a small laugh.
"Tomorrow we have to interview some people." said Zodiac quickly.
"When did I agree to this?" asked Blaze.
"The other night when I called and asked." said Zodiac.
"Sure half between awake and sleep land, how nice." said Blaze, hitting his head on the table.
"Where done." said Zodiac, closing up the papers.
"Lets never do anything involving government again; why didn't we just do the cons of mutant registration." said Blaze jumping up from his seat, and putting the folder on there bosses desk.
"Were trying to keep it on the low profile stuff, if we start to do that, they'll get suspicious. The only way I'm doing that is if you stop yapping and come to a club with me." said Zodiac.
"Sure, a few tweaking to my clothes. . . . and okay, lets go." said Blaze.
About an hour later they pulled up at a club. Mortimer had been jumping roofs and was getting pretty tired. He jumped down in the alley and went by a club window. It had been closed for the party obviously, because everyone was waiting by the door and boy there was a lot of them. A few he had seen before. The was a man with blonde spiked hair, and leather outfit. He had seen him a few times on Mutant Wanted papers, next to the Brotherhood. He was wanted for twelve missing people , and one murder in the west. Nightmare is what his name was under.
Another he had seen Mystique looking in a magazine at; so the girl who looked like a model was one. As the door opened they all yelled the famous words and scared the crap out of Blaze. At once Nightmare put his arm around Zodiac's waist.
"Hey Babe, how you been?" he asked with a smile.
"Fine, nice to hear from you after ten years." she said with a smile.
The Model ran over and glomped Blaze and shook Zodiac's hand. A few minutes later the model was talking to Nightmare, with anger on her face. Mortimer looked at the two, shame eye color, same face shape, only one thing came to mind; siblings.
A girl who looked stuck up ran over and hugged Zodiac with all her might, and then Blaze who was getting punch. It seemed to also sub as a reunion. A girl with blonde and burgundy hair ran over and hugged Zodiac, and did some weird hand shake with Blaze.
"Zodie, you set this all up." said Blaze happily.
"You bet." she said happily.
"A Reunion, slash,surprise birthday party. Wait where's my Best Friend?" asked Blaze looking around, not noticing a guy running up and hugging him.
The guy looked like a jock. Now that he looked closer he was a football player for the Miami Dolphins. They dragged Blaze over to a cake. He lit the candles with his fingers. His power was similar to Pyro's, minus needing a lighter or flame thrower.
LATER AT THE BASE
Mortimer and Zodiac came in, with Zodiac laughing about something. This got John's attention as he was the only one up. They both sat on either side of John and stopped laughing after a few seconds.
"So what's so funny?" asked John.
"Nothing." said Mortimer angrily.
"He fell off a fire escape, when he was trying to jump on the roof. Then he walked out of the alley and tripped over a stray cat and into a pile of garbage bags. Not only that, but in front of over twenty mutants, including two villains." Said Zodiac bursting into laughter, John couldn't resist either.
"Its not that funny." said Mortimer.
"It wouldn't be if it was in front of humans or just me, but everyone else, that's different." said Zodiac, heading towards the fridge with a box she had.
"So uh, what's in the box?" asked John, looking at it in hope.
"Cake." said Zodiac, putting it in the fridge.
"They had lots extra." said Mortimer.
"Can I have some?" asked John quickly.
"Sure there's a piece for everyone in their." said Zodiac, heating up her and Mortimer's dinner.
"What are you doing up?" asked Mortimer, after a few minutes of silence.
"Hum, I was bored." said John, flipping through the channels.
"Here ya go." said Zodiac handing Mortimer his dinner, and sitting down.
"Thanks." he said in a yawn.
"John, why are you up at four in the morning?" asked Zodiac.
"Is this the question for. . . . why where you two out until four in the morning?" asked John.
"Well after the party we went to a club, where Mortimer apparently met some people." said Zodiac.
"Dang, I have to tell Magneto. . . ." he was cut off.
"Tell me what?" asked Magneto walking into the living room.
"Morning." said John.
"What are you doing up?" asked Magneto.
"Watching TV." said John nervously.
"Well I ran into a few of the teams old mates." said Mortimer.
"Like who?" asked Mystique walking in. "John, why are you up?"
". . . ." said John as sweat ran down his face.
"Dominic and Fred." said Mortimer, turning towards them.
"What about Avalanche and Blob? Why's John up?" asked Sabertooth.
"I WAS WATCHING PORN! Are you all happy!" yelled John, putting everyone in a state of silence.
". . . . We get that channel?" asked Sabertooth, causing everyone to turn towards him, "What?"
"As I was saying, they might stop by." said Mortimer, going back to eating.
"Ok, and someone put a block on that channel." said Mystique, going into the kitchen.
"Well I'm going for a run." said Zodiac as if nothing happened.
"What else is on the TV?" asked Magneto, siting down and flipping.
