X-Men Story My Version
Chapter Thirteen: The Plan
In the planning room, a three-dimensional map of metal illustrates the points of the various X-Men as they talk. Logan stands next to Ororo while Rion is to his other side. Emma and Alex stand next Jean on her left while Scott is on her right.
"The U. N. summit is on Ellis Island, here. Magneto will be launching his attack from the Statue of Liberty, here." Scott said going over the plan.
"He doesn't know his machine kills, and if he gives Rogue enough power..." Ororo continues.
"He could wipe out everyone in New York." Jean adds. Rion frowns hard.
"We'll fly the Blackbird in here, come in around the far end of Ellis Island." Scott said. "Rion, you'll fly ahead of us to set up a check point of landing then pull us in." He continued as Rion nods. Logan wondered why he wouldn't be on the jet with them.
"What about harbor patrol? Radar?" Logan asked.
"If they have anything that could pick up our ship, they deserve to catch us." Scott said to him.
"We've got the coolest plane in the world." Alex said to him. Logan smirked. "You've seen it." He adds.
"Alright let's suit up." Ororo said as the group left the planning room. The seven head to the uniform room and begin to put on their individual X-Men out fits. Logan was given a uniform. It felt a little tight but still fit. Ororo's outfit has a cape on. Rion's does as well accept his is male version. Kind if like superman's cape. Emma is uniform is a blue halter top with the X logo on it while the pants are skin tight. Her belly button is showing. Alex's uniform is similar to Scott's except that his gloves have a device to control how much energy blast he shoots out of his hands.
The seven head for the jet. Jean gets a communicator for Rion. He plants the device over his left ear then places his helmet over his head.
"Thanks." He said as Jean nods. She boards the plane with Scott, Ororo, Logan, Emma and Alex. "See you in the skies." Rion said before he levitates off the ground. Logan watches him from the plane as Rion is levitated next to the jet. Logan can see him.
"He can fly." Ororo said to Logan reading his expression having glanced in his direction.
A large panel opens up in the ground, swallowing up a basketball. The Blackbird comes out of it and takes off.
The students watch, fascinated. Mystro levitates higher in the air and the zips off. whenever the team are on missions, they never use their real names, instead they use their given X names.
Inside of the blackbird, Logan zips up his new uniform. Cyclops pilots.
"You actually go out in these things?" Logan asked.
"What would you prefer... yellow spandex?" Cyclops asked.
"He'd look hot in spandex." Storm comments earning a chuckle from Jean and and Frost. Logan gyrates his eyebrows at Ororo who looks back him and smiles.
"Jeez, can we focus on the mission?" Havok asked smirking.
"Mystro, you ok out there?" Jean asked.
"Of course." Mystro said from outside the plane. "You know me. I'm ready for anything."
"Good. Stay stealthy." Cyclops told him. "When we get close the bridge, go invisible."
"Will do." Mystro said pulling away from the blackbird.
"Why doesn't he fly in blackbird with us?" Logan asked.
"He doesn't need to be in the blackbird when he can fly as fast as the jet does." Havok responds.
"Faster." Mystro adds from outside. Everyone smirks. Storm rolled her eyes.
"Hey Logan needs an X-Men name." Havok said. Logan looked at him like he was nuts. "We all have one."
"We don't use our real names on missions Logan." Frost told him.
"What about Jean?" Logan asked.
"She does have one but hates it." Havok told him. Jean looked over at him smirking.
"What is it?" Logan asked curiously.
"Phoenix." Havok revealed.
"That's actually pretty cool." Logan said. Jean rolled her eyes.
"See. Even Logan thinks its cool." Storm told her. Jean shakes her head laughing.
"It fits" Mystro said to her through their telepathy. He didn't want Scott, Havok, Logan or his sister to hear his thoughts. The only other person who'd pick up on his thoughts other than Jean was Frost. Frost caught it as well.
"You would think that." Jean thought back to him through telepathy. Emma chuckled using her telepathy.
"What would Logan's X name be?" Havok asked. Everyone thought about that. Including Mystro who is listening from out side.
"He's got clause like a cat. How about Tiger." Frost said as they chuckled.
"Nah!" Havok said.
"Lion." Frost said.
"Nah!" Havok said.
"Wolverine." Storm said.
"That's cool how did you come up with that name?" Havok asked.
"It's in his dog tag around his neck." Storm responds.
"How would you know that?" Jean asked.
"Maybe because she made out with him back at the mansion. This earns a chuckles from Havok and Jean.
FROST!" Storm yells to her.
"What? You two looked rather aroused." Frost said as Jean and Havok continued laughing. Logan smirked.
"Ok didn't need to know that." Cyclops said.
"That makes two of us." Mystro said.
"Shut up Rion." Storm said.
"Hey don't yell at me cause got caught with your pants down." Mystro said. The others continued laughing.
"My pants weren't down." Storm yelled.
"Enough. Let's focus on the mission." Cyclops said. Logan smirked. All this fuss over him was pretty exciting. He wouldn't tell Ororo but he didn't mind they'd been caught making out. It was a turn on to him.
"When did you see his dog tags?" Havok asked. "It's not around his neck now."
"Before Sabretooth hit him with the tree trunk." Storm answered.
The Blackbird comes around the bridge. It was silent for a moment.
"Going invisible." Mystro said as his entire body disappears in the air but he's still flying and passes under the bridge before the blackbird.
"There's the bridge. Storm, some cover, please." Cyclops asks.
Storm's eyes go blank.
Fog rolls up. The Blackbird sweeps into it, then turns on its infrared scanner.
At the Statue Of Liberty, Magneto observes the sudden fog and knows what it means.
"Mystique, Toad, stay sharp. We're not alone." Magneto told them. "And you stay here. Once I give my power to the girl, I'll be temporarily weakened. You'll be my only defense." Magneto said to Sabretooth. Sabretooth looks touched.
A couple are staring out into the night at observing the Statue of Liberty.
"Looks like a storm is coming." The male said to him. The wife nods.
Mystro lands a few away from the Statue of Liberty. He looks up at the beauty and smiles. His body stays invisible as he continues his stealthiness.
"The Mystro has landed on Liberty island." Mystro said into his communicator.
"What's your position Mystro?" Havok asked.
"Ten feet from the lady herself. You can bring blackbird my way unseen."
"Copy that Mystro." Alex said.
"Stay low. We're on our way." Storm said.
"Copy that." Mystro said as he does as he's told. He kneeled down and began scope out the area using his telescopic vision. He could see Rogue up top of the Statue of Liberty. He could see Sabretooth and Magneto lingeting near her. He could see Toad and Mystique in the entrance of the Statue of Liberty gift shop.
"What do you see Mystro?" Frost asked. Reading his thoughts.
"I see Rogue. They have her tied to the top if the Statue of Liberty. Magneto and Sabretooth are near by." Mystro says to them.
"They're not alone. Where are Toad and Mystique?" Logan asked.
"They were at the front of the Statue of Liberty gift shop." Mystro said trying to find them. "Shit I lost them. I can smell Mystique's scent. I also smell Toad's funky ass." He said. Havok and Frost laughed. Logan smirked.
"No worries. We're our way." Cyclops said to him.
"Copy that." Mystro said.
Underneath the fog, the Blackbird returns to full visibility. It hovers fifteen feet above the water.
Cyclops turns off a few switches, too quickly. The Blackbird falls the last fifteen feet. It floats.
"Sorry." Cyclops said.
"You call that a landing?" Logan said feeling a little ill from the plane ride. Logan hates flying due to his fear of heights. Jean was calming his nerves. Frost and Mystro were helping.
"Mystro, you're up." Jean told him.
Mystro spots the blackbird twenty feet away from him. He takes his glove off then sticks his hand out in front of himself. Using his telepathy, Mystro concentrated and pulled the Blackbird towards himself. Cyclops turned the blackbird off and everyone exited the jet.
"Nice work." Cyclops comments.
"Thanks." Mystro said.
"Alright. Let's do this." Logan said as the seven X-men moved stealthily towards the Statue of Liberty.
