As the bombs found their way into metal orbs, Logan was making sure all the weapons were working.
"You ready Elf?"
"Ja Logan! Alvays!" Logan smiled at the German teen's response.
"Good, now get ready!" Logan put his hand in the air and was getting ready to five Kurt the signal, not knowing what Melody had done. As Logan's hand fell, he yelled, "NOW!" Kurt pressed the firing button and the rockets were off. Whizzing through the air at unknowable speeds, the rockets were hurtling themselves at the metal spheres. The missiles exploded against the metal, and left a giant cloud of smoke where they were. Logan looked somewhat hopefully at the Magneto-made transport devices for any sign of a scratch, or dent.
When the smoke cleared, Logan's jaw dropped. The rockets had made no dent whatsoever, and the orbs kept coming closer. Logan swore again and told Kurt to fire again. The elf was about to do as he was told, when Melody yelled out,
"Wait! Don't fire again! Just wait!" Logan and Kurt didn't really know if they should, but they did anyway. Kurt moved his finger off of the trigger and Logan put his gun down. The orbs reached the where Melody was and opened, showing the contents of them. One by one, each mutant that was being held in the spheres fell out and landed with a distinguished, "THUD". Logan's jaw dropped once more as he began to climb to the top of the Blackbird to see why they weren't fighting. By the time he reached the top, Melody had begun to drag the mutants away from the edge of jet. Logan finished the job as Melody took over for Kurt piloting the jet. Kurt teleported the three Brotherhood members into the Blackbird as Logan climbed in and closed the door. When the door was fully closed and locked down, Logan slid to the ground and sighed heavily.
"Now will someone please tell me why we have three members of the Brotherhood in our jet?" a gruff voice asked.
"I'd like to know why we're here in the X-Men's jet." responded another equally gruff voice. Everyone became silent as they saw Sabretooth begin to awake.
"Hey, Melody; do you know vhy zhey vere knocked out vhen zhe balls opened?" asked Kurt. Melody nervously twisted her hair around her finger.
"Well, Logan said that he didn't want to face them hand-to-hand, so I decided that I was going to use their weaknesses to knock them out… But I guess they didn't work…"
"Oh they worked alright you little brat." growled the groggy Sabretooth. "That stench was worse than fifty skunks spraying at you." Logan gagged slightly thinking about it, having an equally strong sense of smell.
"Vell zhat's all fine and dandy, but vhy don't I smell anyzhing? Usually vhen a bomb goes off like zhat, zhe stench vould be on zhe person zhat vas caught by it. Vhy don't I smell it?"
"Simple." stated the redhead. "I made it so your brain would sense whatever it was I programmed in the bombs, but it is not real. Just a little brain alteration, that's all."
"'That's all'?" asked Logan as he stood up. "That's a little more than just a 'that's all' Hun." Melody blushed slightly at the older man calling her "Hun". Logan smiled on the inside when he saw this, but kept a straight outward face. "Anyway, we gotta figure out what to do with these three… I certainly don't want old fluffy-face here attacking us." Logan walked over and kicked Sabretooth lightly in the side. Sabretooth growled at Logan, but since the "stink bomb" made him immobile, he could only lay there and take it.
"Vell, I can see if I can contact zhe Institute." Kurt offered. Melody laughed and smiled evilly.
"Nah, I think we should just drop them off somewhere in Russia. That would be fun…" Logan laughed and put his arm around her, pulling her in to a "Christian Side Hug".
"That wouldn't be bad; but I think Chuck wouldn't be too happy about that." Melody smiled, not knowing who "Chuck" was, but she read his mind and found out it was the Professor. Kurt glared at Logan, wishing he would just leave Melody alone. He knew that there was going to be a fight for the redhead within the Institute as soon as he began to like her.
"Dumm Kopf…" Kurt told himself, "you knew zhat people vould try to get her… I mean, Logan just met her and he's already trying to score! Vell I'll show him…" Kurt walked over to Melody and pulled her away from Logan and whispered something in her ear. Melody laughed at the question.
"Of course not Kurt…" She petted his head and walked next to Sabretooth, who was still unable to stand or move. She squatted next to him and pulled his head up by his hair, earning a roar. Staring at the big mutant she said to him, "Why are you here? Magneto obviously sent you here for a reason." The large blonde man snarled at her.
"Why should I tell you?"
"Simple, because I can make you smell that stench again." Sabretooth gagged and glared at her.
"You're gonna have to do a lot more than that sugar." Melody wrinkled her nose at the man's flirting and picked him up so his feet were off the ground.
"You're gonna wish you didn't do that." She carried the mutant to the door of the jet and opened it. Dangling him from the now opened door, she told him,
"I know you can heal yourself and all that crap, but since you can't move your arms or legs, falling from this height would most certainly leave you out of commission for at least three days. Now, you don't want Magneto to know you were beaten up by a little girl, would you?" Melody smirked when she saw Sabretooth glance down. The Earth was at least three thousand feet down, enough to probably break his spine since he didn't have adamantium for bones like Logan does. Sabretooth simply glared at her and dared her to do it. Melody glared back, and loosened her grip on his hair. Kurt gasped and Logan found himself liking this side of Melody more than the musical side.
"Melody! Stop! You don't need to go zhis far!" cried out the blue teen. Melody snorted and called back to him,
"Kurt, if you think this is hard-core, you haven't seen a thing." Releasing the hair, Sabretooth began to scream as he fell farther and farther. Kurt screamed in his mouth and even Logan was a little surprised, but Melody was right; there are FAR worse things that Melody could've done to him. Melody turned around and faced the two men, her eyes glowing with anger, and excitement of hearing someone screaming as they were about to meet death.
"So, who should I wake up and interrogate next?" She asked evily.
"MELODY!" Kurt screamed at her. He ran to the side of the jet and looked for the tall mutant. Not seeing him, he spun and looked at her angrily. "How could you do zhat? Sure he isn't zhe best person on Earzh, but you didn't have to go and kill him!"
"I agree with Elf on this one kid, you didn't have to throw him out of the jet, because I was going to…" Kurt was astonished at both of the people before him.
"I can't believe it. You two are villing to let someone die? Just like zhat?" The elf-cat was getting angry now.
"Calm down, I'll go get the jerk." Melody told Kurt. Disappearing for a moment, she came back with a still screaming Sabretooth, eyes wide in fear. He sunk to the ground and began to cry, not caring who was looking at him. Logan whistled and swore.
"What did you do to him? He wouldn't be acting like this if all you did was just thrown him out of a jet." Logan asked the young girl in front of him.
"Something I learned how to do the hard way when I was a child." Melody whispered. "I made him relive all of his worst nightmares and memories while he was falling, and then amplified then ten times, making them your true worst fears." Melody's eyes turned dark as she walked away from the crying man and the two mutants staring at her. She sat in the cockpit of the jet and looked out of the window. Logan and Kurt turned to each other and looked at the other person with complete fear in their eyes, hoping never to make Melody angry like that again.
Kurt had gone through hell and back due to his appearance, and Logan was just as bad, if not worse. Logan was extremely old, having been born in the eighteen hundreds, but since he could heal himself, he was forever young. Since he was so old, he witnessed many people killed due to his actions, and people killed simply because someone didn't like Logan. Kurt was almost burned at the stake due to people believing he was a demon, which, in reality, he is; or at least half demon and half mutant. Even though he is technically a demon, he is Catholic, and goes to church and mass every week, so he's not terribly big on being called a demon. Few people from the Institute actually know what he really is, but no one really cares because they all love him.
Logan swallowed hard and helped Sabretooth to a seat so he could get over his "nightmares" as Kurt got into the pilot seat of the jet (which was in auto pilot this whole time).
"Zhe estimated arrival time to zhe Institute is about fifteen minutes." Kurt called to Logan, and said to Melody.
"Thanks Elf." Logan called back. Melody nodded and turned away from Kurt, not wanting him to look at her right then.
"Damn it… I shouldn't have done that… Now they're all going to hate me…" Melody sighed and let a few tears run down her face. "Why do I ruin everything? Why the hell was I even born?"
