Can this day get any worse?
Nick Fury contacted us with satellite information showing that one of Magneto's previous bases, Asteroid M, a space based fortress in orbit of Earth became active again. We figured that Asteroid M was what Magneto called the Mount. But Gambit told us that he overheard the Morlocks saying that the Mount was here on Earth. So we paid a visit to the Morlocks. After fighting our way past a number of hostile morlocks, we met with an influential Morlock doctor and spiritual leader who simply goes only by "Healer." He told us apparently that the morlocks are divided. Some want to ally with the brotherhood. These are led by a Morlock leader known as Marrow, and call themselves the "Gene Nation." The rest are content to live in the sewers like they allways has. He also told us that the Gene Nation uses a morlock Mutant named Gateway to transport Mutants to the Brotherhood's earth base and from there they are transported to Asteroid M. Healer led us to Gateway who we managed to transport us to the mount. An underground base near the equator.
Huge battle ensued. My openent was Victor "Sabretooth" Creed, who looks like a reject from the musical cats. wolverine constantly looked like he wanted a piece of him, but other Brotherhood members got in the way.
But I digress, back to my battle with Sabretooth, he was tough. I swear I set him on fire repeatedly with balls of volcanic rock, and it clearly hurt, but it didn't slow him down that much. It was a lasting battle I could tell you. Sabretooth eventually learned that if he could hold me long enough to throw me at one of my teammates, he knew I would power down rather than hurt them with my volcanic skin. He picked Jubilee and his plan worked like a charm. He took the opportunity to pounce and made one good slash into my chest. My first big battle wound. Jean managed to get him off with her telekinesis. At that moment, Avalance told Sabretooth to retreat, and the remaining Brotherhood members ran into the machine they used to transport mutants to asteroid M. As soon as the members were through. Avalanche caused an earthquake which destroyed the machine.
As much as that lost opportunity and the big claw marks across my chest hurt. It was nothing compared to what happened when we got back. Mom and Dad were waiting for us. The first thing they saw were the previously mentioned claw marks.
To say that the X-men were given the riot act was an understatement. I'd like to say that Mom and Dad don't understand what it means to be an X-man. But that's not true. The problem is that they understand too well. Try and name a parent as loving as my own who would send their child to face the dangers the X-men have to face regularly. I tried several lines of reasoning to let them stay. I'm not much safer in other places seeing as how the military and the brotherhood tried to come after me several times. But they heard none of it. Mom and Dad are currently driving me back into New York City.
Problem has just arisen. It is only 2:00 yet the sky has gone black. Not completly black though, there seems to be holes in the black sky where sunlight seems to seep through. I have never seen anything like it before.
Did I just jinx myself by asking if the day could get any worse?
Gotta go.
