Quickly siting down Greer flipped the file open with her tail. She couldn't believe her eyes. It really was a reversal, no, even better a cure... the file actually contained instructions how to make the cure. Greer scanned the list, all the chemicals required to make the cure were in Area 51's lab, located in Block A of building 5, Area 51. Suddenly, Greer heard footsteps approaching the door. Quickly, she kicked the file out of the way, and it skidded under a cupboard. The door opened and in walked the man Greer wanted nothing more than to murder... Dr. Minos.
"YOU!" Greer roared as she leaped at him. Minos just smiled and ducked causing Greer to fly over him and crash on her side. As she stood up, Minos quickly pressed a button on his watch. There was a buzzing sound from her handcuffs and Greer felt her body stiffened. Arching her back, she felt her legs give out in an all-encompassing loss of motor skills due to the overwhelming pain... "Ahhh... Miss Nelson, just as charming as I remember...Soldiers!" A group of sentinels including Gabriel surrounded the collapsed Greer. They picked her up, removed her handcuffs and strapped her into a nearby bed. "This is the last time I'm gonna be strapped in a stupid bed..." Greer thought wildly as she desperately tried to break free of the restraints. "Don't even try Miss Nelson, I've learnt my lesson the last time..." Minos smirked as he gestured to the sentinels to leave. "What do you want from me Minos?" Greer snarled as he stroked her furred face. "You ruined my career..." Greer laughed, "I RUINED YOUR CARRER? YOU'RE HILARIOUS... YOU TURNED ME INTO SOME KIND OF FREAK!" "Watch your tongue Miss Nelson... It wouldn't look so good on a petri dish would it?" Minos growled. Walking away he continued "You say I've turned you into a freak... That I've ruined your life... You're wrong... I have made you into something better, something beautiful... a work of art...Why can't you just accept your fate like the rest of the sentinels?" "Accept my fate? You mind wiped them... They were forced to!" "SILENCE" with blinding speed Minos slapped Greer across the face... "For what you did... You must pay..." Minos said as he approached Greer with a tazer, Greer closed her eyes and braced herself for the incoming pain.
Tygrus winced as roars and screams escaped the opposite room. Minos was giving the prisoner "The punishment..." He fingered with the vial of blood. Testing the blood would get him into trouble...a lot of it...His father had always told him never to question... But that was almost impossible to Tygrus, he had always hungered for knowledge and he was sick of training...What was he even training for if he couldn't show his face in public and do his job...Adding on to that, something was off about that prisoner. She wasn't lying... He was trained to identify liars by listening to their heartbeat, and disturbingly, every word she said was true... Plus father had called her Miss Nelson... Didn't she claim that they were the offspring's of a man named William Nelson? What was going on...
Greer could smell burning fur, her own to be exact... "And now, for what should have been done ages ago..." Minos said as he approached her with an injection syringe. Closing her eyes, Greer waited for the needle to come in contact with her skin. "BMF!" "What the?" Minos screeched. Greer opened her eyes and saw a familiar fuzzy face... "Nightcrawler..." she whispered "At your service..." he grinned as he grabbed her shoulder. "BMF!" "You got her?" a familiar voice asked. "Ja! But she's badly hurt..." Greer felt two strong arms lift her up. "Scott... Leggo of me I'm fine..." "No you're not..." he argued draping her over his shoulder he started running. Without warning all the alarms in the building started going off. "Well so much for the stealth portion of our plan..." Nightcrawler mumbled. "C'mon!" Scott yelled. "No...Stop...soldiers approaching left and right.." Greer warned weakly. "Got it..." Lance yelled as he created a mini earthquake. Somehow the team was able to hold the army off while Nightcrawler ran off with Mystique. When they came back with the rest of their captured teammates, the exits started to seal. "Over here!" Bobby called. Again Greer felt Nightcrawler place his arms around her. With a "Bmf" they were on the roof of the building. The rest was a blur to Greer, she remembered seeing the black bird land on the building and she passed out from her injuries.
"Are you ok?" Jean asked as Greer stirred awake. "I'll live..." she joked back. "How did you find me?" Jean grinned, "your belt has a tracer on it...All we did was follow the signal..." "Just in time too..."Looking around Greer realized they weren't in the mansion but in some sort of cave... "Um, the mansion blew up, Mystique's doing, she's been masquerading as the professor for days now..." Greer sat up in disbelief... "No, that's impossible, she couldn't have or I would have recognized her scent immediately..." "No, she has...Don't feel bad though, I think Mystique has somehow...went through a power upgrade...She could even block my telepathy..." Greer's ears flattened "Hey Jean..." "Yeah?" "Back in Area 51...I met my brother... and I think I've found a way to cure us both..." Jean couldn't believe her ears... "What?!" "We have to go back..." "No! We're not..."Scott said angrily as he walked out from a corner. "Are you crazy Greer? You were nearly killed back there and you want to go back?" He pointed at her accusingly. Annoyed, Greer swatted his hand away. "Uh yeah... this is my brother we're talking about... and our chance to become human again..." "Oh! So you guys get to be human again, well good for you, walk away and leave the rest of us to be persecuted by the public..." "Um guys...""Hey! I have suffered just as much persecution as you have ok? Probably even more... Plus, I didn't have a problem when you're brother nearly got us all blown up on asteroid M!" "Guys..." "Guess what? At least my brother isn't programmed to be a mutant killer..." "Scott!" "Oh yeah well I am... Want to put me to the test..." "That's enough!" Jean shrieked as she telekinetically forced both Scott and Greer apart. "Both of you need to calm down! Scott you come with me this instant!" Greer watched as Jean dragged Scott off into a corner. "Jerk.." she mumbled... as she wrapped her long tail around her, a habit she developed when she was annoyed...After punching the cave walls a few times Greer sighed. No she shouldn't, more accurately she couldn't call him that... "I mean he did save the new recruits... and me... He must be so stressed out as team leader from babysitting the all of us... I mean... the least I could do is contribute." "Bmf!" "Hiya elf... Thanks for saving me yesterday..." Greer smiled at the familiar blue face. "Ughh...No problem, but I vish that there vas some food around here... I'm starving!" he complained rubbing his stomach. "Now that's an idea..." Greer thought as she watched Kurt teleport off. Sniffing the air. Her ears twitched. There was prey in the forest. Loads of it...She made her way to the other side of the cave. "Hey Rahne... Lets go hunting..."
Tygrus slinked as quietly as a cat to his father's lab. Swiping the identity card he stole from his father, Tygrus proceeded to enter without being seen. "Ok, lets see if Miss Nelson was telling the truth..." Using his claws, he made a quick gash across his own cheek. Collecting the blood in a vial, he went on to sit in front of the gigantic monitor. "Computer scan this..." he commanded as he inserted the two blood vials into the scanner. Cracking his knuckles, he watched the infuriating loading bar fill up. "Scan complete..." the computer declared. Tygrus knocked over the chair. In black and white, the computer screen flashed, "55% match..." "No..." "More files found regarding blood samples. Would you like to view them?" the computer asked. Tygrus was baffled. "More files? What the hell?" he thought. Looking at the screen again he pressed enter. What he saw left him gasping in fear... Profiles of teenagers popped out. A lot of them, worse, more were on their way. As more appeared on screen, the more of Miss Nelson's words seemed to sink in. Words such as "You were human!" and "You were brainwashed to believe that! Minos isn't your father! William Nelson is! He was a cop! He saved lives! Minos destroys them... he turned you into sentinel via cross species genetics... and... And when I went looking for you he did the same to me!". "It can't be true...No it can't be true..." Tygrus mumbled to himself. However the next two files confirmed his worst fears. There on the monitor, were files belonging to Gabriel and Greer Nelson and over them the words "Blood 100% match". "Tygrus what are you doing?"
