Alkalai Lake

"Striker," Jane stated, "We've done all we can with her DNA. The mutants we applied it to have become human."

"Then we have no use for them. Kill 'em." Striker replied, upset that not only had his prized possession got away, but so did a lot of his other more note worthy mutants.

"We know where the girl is ,but our numbers are too small to get her so this is what we're going to do." He stated looking out of the observation desk window as Jane, Zero, and Sabertooth sat around his mahogany extended square table behind him.

"We are going to infiltrate from afar. Sabertooth you will join Magneto's team," he said pointing to a projection of Magneto, "and Zero you will find Mr. LeBeau, kill him, and I pray you don't miss cause I won't miss you."

"Thank you Striker," Zero smiled sinisterly, imagining sending four bullets through each of Gambit's limbs, and then one through his head all before his body crumbles to the ground beneath him.

"But how may I ask is this going to help us get the girl?"

"All in due time Jane. You are all dismissed."

As Zero took off trying to decide on which gun to use on Gambit and Sabertooth went off to perform his own task Jane walked slowly to the door before stopping.

"What is it Jane?"

"What if Apocalypse becomes aware of her? We will never get her back then."

"Your point, besides stating the obvious?"

"Wade has been feeling … caged lately."

"Deadpool is still able to slip from my control."

"I noticed from the feed that Weapon X is also with the Xmen. Do you honestly think any other operative of yours can defeat him?"

"That is what Deathstrike is for."

"Then you should know Hydra has made their own Weapon X."

"What, how!"

"They used some of his DNA. They call it … her X23. She is 28% faster than Logan and she has extending claws from her feet as well. She is also stealthier and has his healing properties; however she is weaker than Weapon X and heals slower than Deathstrike."

"So HYDRA has managed to recreate my invention hmm."

"Striker we should still use Wade to get the girl."

"We will use him as a last resource. For now we will wait"

"As you wish."

Striker watched Jane leave before calling a 'friend' of his.

"Emma Frost is that you."

"What do you want Striker! I told you to never call me again after what you did to me!"

"Would you like your telepathic powers back?"

"What do you want?"

"I need a mole in the Xavier Manor."

"I will not join without my powers!"

"You can still turn to diamond yes?"

"Fine, who am I spying on?"

"A red headed girl by the name of Rogue."

"Why do I have to spy on a child?"

"She is important?"

"So you were the one who snatched up the child with the absorption powers hmm. I wonder how Charles would like that information."

"Tell him that and I will tell him how you are planning on tacking Jean away from him for your inconceivable phoenix theory."

"Hmm … you have a deal Striker. And I WANT MY POWERS BACK. How long am I to spy on this brat?"

"As long as it takes."

"When do I start?"

"Immediately."

"Well that will be a problem. It seems the Black Queen has forgotten to take her blood sac today and is causing quite a rampage downtown."

"As soon as possible then."
