Chapter 1: Bayville's New Arrivals
Scott Summers, the X-men leader Cyclops, groaned out loud,
"I can't believe SHIELD just took Jaime like that."
The other X-men were not happy with the current situation as well. Jaime Madrox, the mutant Multiple, had run around with a renegade group of mutants called X-Force, committing various acts of violence, all in the effort to take out future threats to mutants. This revolved around blowing up Sentinel factories, or taking out organizations like the Church of Humanity. Though they had all been careful in their efforts to conceal their tracks, somehow, footage of Jaime Madrox had been leaked, and SHIELD had to take him into custody. Multiple put up a fight with the X-men that tried to abduct him, but, in the end, he lost. (1)
Rogue nodded,
"Ah agree."
Logan, the feral mutant Wolverine, grunted,
"Fury's just trying to cover his ass, like he always does."
Emma Frost, the telepath and former White Queen, rolled her eyes,
"If they were more careful, none of this would have happened."
Henry McCoy, the furry mutant Beast, looked at the former Hellfire Club member,
"Of course, to you, you would have handled it flawlessly."
Piotr Rasputin, the super strong mutant Colossus, said,
"So, are we going to rescue Multiple?"
Cyclops said,
"And risk an all-out war with SHIELD? We have to rebuild Bayville first!"
Emma nodded, and then sensed something,
"Someone is here. Two someones."
Logan groaned,
"Oh, great. More visitors."
Emma tried to hone in on who it was, but, when she did, she let out a scream,
"NO! Not him! Anybody but him!"
She was terrified and she immediately fell on her knees. Rogue blinked,
"Ah have never seen Frosty like this. What do you think she sensed?"
Robert Drake, the freezing mutant Iceman, shrugged,
"Fury buck naked?"
Beast rolled his eyes,
"Once again, Mr. Drake has provided us with the needed quip."
Emma shook her head,
"I wish it was that simple. Someone's here, and this guy; he's…he's…"
"He's standing above you."
As the X-men looked up, they saw a young man with red eyes, concealed by dark glasses, a long red trench coat, a white shirt with a red dragon emblem on it, white jeans, and a sword across his back. He waved,
"Hi."
Curled around him was a feline-like woman with white fur, and wearing a red halter top and red tights. She was expertly contorted around him, with her head leaning on his shoulder. She grinned as he landed in front of them.
The man said,
"My name is Crisis, and this is my partner and girlfriend Persiana."
The cat-woman jumped off and stood next to her boyfriend. She coiled both her arms around his arm, but stared right at Nightcrawler. She licked her lips,
"Mm. You remind me of a mouse."
Kurt was about to say something when Crisis said,
"Forget it, Persiana. You know he's going to be with Wanda."
Cyclops was about to ask when Frost stared at Crisis,
"He's a precog. He also beat M to a bloody pulp."
Logan was surprised,
"You hit a woman?"
Crisis said,
"You consider Monet to be a woman? Besides, she dropped a car on me, and the only thing I did was bust her tooth out of her head."
Persiana nodded,
"Yeah, she totally deserved it, just like Ms. Marvel deserves it for conspiring to steal my boyfriend from me!"
At that point, the red-eyed man looked at his girlfriend, a rather embarrassed look on his face,
"Uh, they don't know about that yet, and I don't think they're in the mood for the explanation."
Rogue grunted,
"Why not? It can't be any crazier than what we already know."
Crisis asked,
"Are you sure you want to?"
Logan said,
"Lay it on us."
As the red-eyed swordsman was about to explain, Persiana had pulled out a doll of Ms. Marvel and began stomping on it,
"Die, Barbie! Die for trying to take my man from me!"
Beast asked,
"She thinks the doll is out to steal you from her?"
Crisis shook his head,
"Not exactly. We wanted to join the Avengers, but, when they held a recruitment drive, Ms. Marvel kind of gave me a look over and Persiana took it personally. Needless to say, a cat-fight broke out."
Iceman was surprised,
"Wait, what? A cat-fight at the Avengers Mansion!"
Crisis nodded,
"Yeah, and it wasn't petty. Hawkeye, Thor, and Hercules all tried profiting from it, until the tape was mysteriously wiped. Of course, in order to get back into their good graces, Cap told Fury about us, and Fury sent us here."
Frost shook her head,
"And why would Fury send you here to Bayville?"
Crisis answered,
"Simple. Retrieve Multiple and bring him back to SHIELD."
Persiana had now taken her claws and was busy ripping the doll to shreds,
"Die! Die! You must die!"
Nightcrawler pointed,
"Uh, aren't you worried about her?"
Crisis looked back at Persiana,
"She's all right. Just don't mention Ms. Marvel, and dogs, and you're all set. So, where's Jaime?"
Cyclops said,
"Don't you people at SHIELD talk to each other?"
Crisis blinked,
"What?"
Rogue glared,
"You people at SHIELD already got him!"
Crisis blinked,
"You mean, two SHIELD agents retrieved him earlier?"
Iceman nodded,
"Yeah, there's kind of a big crater over there where we fought them."
Emma chuckled,
"Your precognition did not help you so much, now, did it?"
Crisis took a moment to pause and process this information and came up with the most rational, reasonable thing to say in this given situation,
"…SON OF A BITCH!"
