"C'mon Rahne, its dead now..." Greer mumbled as she skinned the carcass of the deer that they managed to take down. "But Milady, tha wee thing was so cute an'... " Greer licked up the random splotches of blood on her face and hands. If she were human she would be completely disgusted with herself however now being part animal the blood of that deer tasted as good as fine wine. "Must yer do tha'?" Rahne asked as she shuddered, being raised in a church made her afraid of most things, let alone blood and corpses. "Sorry... Part tiger... Here, help me disembowel the body parts... I think its better if we don't tell the others its deer meat...City kids like them will get all picky..." "I don't blame em' " Rahne mumbled. Shifting into her half lupine form she used her claws to separate hunks of meat from muscle and bone. When they were finished, the girls loaded the meat into sacks Greer brought and hulled them back to the cave. "Greer! Rahne you're back! Tell me you have food!" Kurt asked his hands across his stomach. Greer grinned. "Good news elf! We do! Get Amara here, we need a fire!" Soon both the x men and new mutants were happily sitting around a warm fire chatting and joking as they devoured huge amounts of meat. Greer felt a hand on her shoulder. Looking up, she saw Scott smiling. "Hey..." "Hey..." "So how did you get the meat?" he asked awkwardly as he plopped himself next to her. "Chill Scott, we didn't steal or anything, Rahne and I brought down a deer together..." "Oh wow, that's um resourceful..." "Yeah..." Greer agreed flattening her ears. Silence. "Hey look about what I said just now, I'm sorry... I didn't mean any of it..." Scott apologized "Me too... Sorry..." They smiled. "So what's the plan now boss man?" Greer asked grinning. Scott sighed. "Ok, once Rouge and Wolverine get back, we're going to spread into two teams, alpha and beta. Alpha is with me, we're going to go look for the professor..." "Ok, go on..." Greer urged. "You'll take beta. It'll be a small team consisting of you, Kitty, Kurt and Mr. McCoy... You guys will infiltrate area 51, grab what you need..." "And save my brother..." Greer finished.
"Give me that!" Greer yelled as she attempted to grab the portable television from Kurt. "No way! Goodbye!" Kurt yelled as he teleported off. A few minutes later he teleported back. "Don't move a hair! That's as good as its gonna get... Hey everyone! The hearings are on!" Evan announced. "Awww man! I'm trapped here!" Kurt grumbled. Greer rolled her eyes at the upside down Kurt. "Told you to pass it to me..." she teased. "Ill take care of it... Bobby!" Greer watched as Bobby made an ice sculpture around Kitty. Everyone soon started crowding around that tiny portable television... "Hey move!" "I can't see!" "What's going on?" "Turn up the volume..." "Ok! Here we go!" "Do you mind? You're invading my personal space!" "Booby! Make a screen around it." Greer instructed. "Got it!" he grinned and did as he was told. That calmed everyone done. The hearings were terrible. Greer watched angrily as the judge on television made more and more terrible accusations. He kept declaring mutants were dangerous, that they were monsters. He even accused them of releasing the sentinel! Greer made her way outside. If she had listened to anymore of his bull excrement she might have just punched the screen. Turning around, Greer heard tires squealing behind her. She ducked just in time to see a motorcycle fly over her. "Damn it! Rouge nearly killed me..." Greer groaned as she rubbed her forehead. Suddenly, her ears perked up. Sniffing the air, her eyes grew wide in fear... Helicopters, a lot of them with machine guns were headed their way!
"And it won't take them long to find us!" Rouge finished. "CORRECTION! IT DIDN'T TAKE THEM LONG!" Greer screamed as she dove into the cave dodging bullets that were being fired at her. She and the rest of the X men watched in horror as the helicopters got ready to fire at all of them. "Alright, we've got a fight on our hands..." Logan growled releasing his claws. "No we don't! " Scott argued. "Um guys...Not the best time..." Greer warned as the military threatened to take action. "You hear that? They're getting ready to attack!" Logan snarled. "They don't know what they're getting into...Iceman!" Bobby made a wall just in time to block the missiles the military fired at them. "Listen kid..." "No! We're the X men Wolverine, we're not kids anymore... You trained us, and you know something? We're good!" Scott insisted. "GUYS!" Greer roared as the missals blew through the wall of ice. Turning around, Scott destroyed a couple of missals before they made any contact with the X men. "Very good..." Scott glared. "Lemme' get this straight...YOU'RE DEFYING ME?!" Logan yelled. " Anyone could smack down those choppers...But we're supposed to be heroes! Not thugs!" "If they're after us...THEY'RE THEN THEY'RE THE ENEMY!" Logan fumed. "No but they think we are! The last thing we need to do right now is prove them right..." Everyone nodded, agreeing with Scott. Logan, frustrated rode off on his bike... "Ok team...Move out!" Scott commanded. Greer leaped onto one of the choppers. Punching through the glass, she smiled at the confused pilot, and then with her claws, she tore through the controls before leaping off. She did the same to two other choppers before leaping onto the X jet with Kurt and Kitty while the rest took off with Scott on the blackbird. "Ok Beta team, hold on!" Greer commanded as she placed the jet at full speed. They were soon rocketing through the sky towards Area 51...
Minos slammed his fists on the table. "Damn it! DAMN IT!" he screamed hurling his coffee mug at the door. He watched as it shattered into thousands of pieces. Everyone was a traitor! Everyone... And Why? Why?! They claimed he was a monster, a criminal who destroyed people's lives by creating sentinels... He wasn't a criminal... He wasn't... He only wanted to help people... Yes help! He wanted to help all those innocent children, husbands and wives who would lose their loved ones to mutants...Saving them from the pain and sorrow that he himself had experienced when...When a mutant had killed his family. His beautiful wife, his three innocent children ... All dead... Leaving him alone... Hopelessly alone... Creating these sentinels had given him a purpose in going on in life, he was protecting humanity...Can't they see that? Obviously not... Less than a day ago his captain of the sentinels Tygrus... betrayed him. Thanks to his trouble making bitch of a sister Greer Nelson.. She had somehow managed to talk him into remembering that he was once human, she even gave him blood to test out ... Of course, being Tygrus, he did... Tygrus was now locked up and being tortured... "Well he had to be... He had been disobedient...And when children are disobedient, they have to be punished..." Minos mumbled tearing his hair out "Greer Nelson...If I find you... I... WILL...KILL...YOU..." Minos screamed. Greer landed the X jet in a nearby forest, just a mile away from area 51. Along the way they had picked up Mr. McCoy, he would monitor the building through the jet's scanners while the others infiltrated the building...Greer sighed, turning around she briefed the others on what they were going to do..."Ok, you guys ready? "She asked. "Totally..." Kitty grinned. "Lets do this!" Kurt cheered. "Ok elf...Do your thing..." and with a "Bmf" the trio disappeared. They landed on the roof of building 4, the building Greer was held captive in. "Ok shadow cat...Phase me in... Nightcrawler, after I'm phased in, I need you to teleport you and shadow cat to building 5, block A. Get the equipment working and teleport back here in 10 minutes...Got it?" they both nodded. Grabbing her hands, Kitty phased Greer through the roof and into the building. "Good luck..." she mumbled as she phased out. Greer sniffed. Though her scent was still faint from two days ago she could still follow it back to where she was held captive. Following her nose she managed to get to the lab door. "Ok for the codes...Beast..." "Ok Tigra, the codes are ... 3285 9218" McCoy's voice boomed through the communicator. Greer entered the codes. The door opened. She slinked inside and made her way to the cupboard. "Ok file, file, file, file...Ah Ha!" Greer announced as she pulled it out. "Aghh..." Greer whipped around. "Hello...Is someone there?" she asked. "Over...Over here..." That voice, it was Gabriel's. "Gabriel? Is that you?" Greer asked making her way towards Gabriel's voice. "Gabriel...Oh my God...What did they do to you?" Gabriel grinned back at her despite his weakened state. He looked terrible, patches of his fur were burnt off and he had wounds all over him. "Hi sis..." "Oh my God Gabriel you remember..." Greer wept hugging him. "Hey easy...Easy...Don't get to excited, I don't remember everything but enough to believe you..." Gabriel warned as he winced. "What did they do to you?" Greer asked staring at the huge wounds in his body. "Minos injected me with some virus...The virus is eating up my animal DNA slowly...It'll kill me eventually..." "Relax Gabe, I've found a cure...For both of us..." Greer comforted as she hauled him onto her shoulder. "You did?" he coughed. "Yeah you just have to tell me the quickest way to the roof..."
