Chapter Seven:
Elisabeth Howlett
"Your cousins are here." Rachel stated.
I shrugged. "So?"
"Just telling you. You might want to go downstairs otherwise your mom is going to lecture you."
I raised an eyebrow at my friend at my friend and asked, "Are you reading her thoughts yet again?"
"Psst. No. Your mom is projecting her thoughts very loudly. Seriously, she won't be happy if you aren't down there."
I sighed and began walking to the main room, where everyone else was.
She's relieved to not yell at you. Rachel telepathically told me.
She better be.
Tone it down you two. I need to think. Jean butted in.
Sorry, Mom. Rachel responded.
Aleksandra Rasputin
"Dad, what's wrong with Ivan?" I asked.
Dad placed a hand on my shoulder and answered, "We do not know."
I looked at my brother and he was still turning invisible, putting up force fields and switching from his normal form to the organic steel form and back.
"Piotr, we need your help." Mom said to my dad.
"Coming, Printsessa."
"Illyana, can you take the younger kids outside? Leave Rachel and Elisabeth."
"Of course, Esmeralda."
"Go with her, Kurt."
Kurt and Illyana took Elijah, Ryan, Ilya and me outside.
I grabbed my Aunt's arm and asked her, "Auntie, will Ivan be alright?"
"I hope so, Aleksandra. I really hope so."
Esmeralda Howlett
After one hour, which felt like several hours, Hank finally yelled, "Eureka!"
"What is it, Hank?" Anastasia asked.
"It seems that Ivan is able to mute mutations by absorbing their powers for a certain amount of time, depending on the length of the contact. His body releasing some kind of hormone that will cloak the mutation. That also enables him to use the absorbed powers until they run out of time.
"Which means...?" Logan questioned.
"It means that Ivan's powers are a combination of Dorian and Rogue's." Storm translated.
"But why is Ivan being able to use the absorbed powers only now?" Anastasia asked.
Professor Xavier answered, "Who knows? It could have been anything. Sometimes our mutant powers stay dormant for years; even our whole life."
"Can he touch people?" Anastasia questioned.
"I think that after prolonged training, he will be able to. If not, then we will have to take the precautions we did with Rogue."
"But she can touch Remy."
"Remy is constantly making energy, therefore it's impossible for Rogue to drain him."
Anastasia fell against Piotr and said, "Z'hal chto on ne dolzhen byl proyti cherez eto." (Translation: I wish he did not have to go through this.)
Piotr answered, "Ya tozhe, Printesessa." (Translation: Me too, princess.)
Logan gave me the translation and I went over to my sister and hugged her. Gwyn joined us.
"Together, we can do anything." I quoted Mom.
Kill All Mutants
Member
USA Division
"They are a destructive race. They will destroy us if we don't destroy them first. So what do we do?"
"KILL THEM."
"I can't hear you!"
"KILL THEM!"
The leader smiled and said, "You know what to do."
Everyone scrambled out, chanting, "Kill all mutants! Kill all mutants!"
Evan Daniels
Cybelle came running in, carrying Torpid in her arms.
"Help!" Cybelle called to us.
Callisto, Caliban, and I ran over and Callisto asked, "What happened?"
"We were attacked when we were getting groceries. Torpid tried to hold them back. I acided (A/N: I'm pretty sure that's not a word but I don't care XD) as many as I could. They over powered us. I grabbed Torpid and ran, eventually losing them. I think they poisoned her."
"Who attacked you?" I questioned.
"I don't know. Mutant haters for sure."
Callisto turned to me and asked, "Think it's Friends of Humanity?"
"Probably."
"Kill all mutants..." Torpid stated before rolling her head to the side.
"What?" Callisto asked, looking at Cybelle.
Cybelle answered, "That's what they were chanting."
Callisto and I made eye contact and we knew we were no longer safe here.
Rogue
"Evan? Is that you?" I asked the man standing at the door of the mansion.
"Hi, Rogue."
"Come in."
I stepped aside so the Morlocks could come in.
"What can we do for ya?"
"We need to stay here. Probably permanently." Evan said.
"Well ya know yer welcome here."
Evan nodded and said, "I know. That's why I came here first."
"May I ask what happened?"
"One of us was killed today. Torpid was poisoned by a group that kept shouting 'Kill all mutants.' Cybelle here is lucky to be alive. Do you know the mutant killing group?"
"Gambit does, mon ami. Kill All Mutants is a group dat is killing mutants across de world."
"Why?" one of the females asked.
"Because, petite, dey is scared of us."
"How many are there?" Callisto asked.
"Dere is one in de USA, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Russia, Africa and Australia. De Russians are de scariest." Remy shuddered in disgust.
"So every continent has at least one division, except Antarctica for the obvious reasons?"
"Oui."
Gavriila Prakenskii-Worthington
I summoned fire in my hands and was playing with it. I juggled the fire balls, made shapes with them and manipulated it.
"Hey, Gav! Can you give me some air to ride?" Ryan called out.
I looked up and Ryan was flying the air. I usually gave him some stronger winds to ride to challenge him.
"Hang on, Ryan!"
I withdrew the fire and summoned air. I rose with the wind and threw wind at Ryan.
"WOAH!" Ryan yelled and pushed through it like it was nothing.
I kept throwing winds at him and he kept going through them. I decided to challenge him and created a little fire ball and threw it at him.
"GAV! That could have killed me!"
"Oh whatever, you baby."
Kurt said, "You two behave."
I stopped throwing wind currents at Ryan, which lowered me back to the ground and withdrew air and fire. I instead created a little waterfall between my hands and watched it peacefully.
Jean Summers
"Okay, Rogue. We will be coming back soon." I closed my cell phone and turned to the group behind me.
"What was that about?" Scott asked.
"That was Rogue. She called to inform me that the Morlocks were attacked and they are at the mansion."
Storm withdrew a sharp breath and said, "Evan?"
"Is okay. Torpid was the only Morlock that died."
Storm sighed in relief and Esmeralda said, "We will all go back to the mansion. If Morlocks are getting attacked, then there is bound to be other mutants in danger."
Elisabeth huffed, crossed her arms and leaned back against a wall.
Like I want to go there. I heard Elisabeth project.
Shh, Elisabeth. Mom can hear.
Of course I can.
Rachel looked at me, panicked.
"Elisabeth and Elijah, go pack." Esmeralda said.
Elisabeth sighed and said, "Yes, Mom."
The siblings went up the stairs, Rachel following them and I said to Esmeralda, "Elisabeth is scared of you."
She laughed and answered, "Because I'm the only one who punishes her. Just as Elijah is scared of Logan."
"Well anyone in their right mind is scared of Logan."
"I'm standing right here."
Elijah Howlett
I was prepared for this. A year ago, Mom had me prepare a bag of stuff to take if we needed to rush to the mansion. I walked to my closet, dug to the bottom of it where a dufflebag was laying. I needed to only put the essential stuff in it like toothpaste, deodorant, clothes, etc.
When I was done, I walked into Elisabeth's room. She obviously didn't take Mom's advice and was searching for something to put her stuff in.
"I see you didn't take Mom's advice."
Elisabeth jerked her head towards me and with a feral tone to her voice, "Shut up."
I could have sworn that she hissed at me. I shrugged and walked down the stairs.
"Where's Elisabeth?" Mom asked.
"Scrambling around her room looking for something to put her stuff in."
Mom chuckled and said, "She should have listened to me."
"That's exactly what I said."
Mom ruffled my hair and said, "Come on. Your dad can wait for Elisabeth."
I followed my mom out to Aunt Anastasia's plane.
Ellamae LeBeau
"Momma, who's plane is that?" I asked, pointing to an unfamiliar silver plane.
Mom looked out the window and said with a smile, "That is Anastasia Rasputin's plane. You will meet her soon."
From the two planes, people poured out of them. I recognized a few. Grandpa Logan and his wife, Esmeralda (whom my sister and I refused to call Grandma), Storm, Kurt, Hank and Professor Xavier. Jean and Scott were among them with their evil daughter, Rachel.
I opened the door for them and let them in.
Rogue said, "There's bigger rooms available on the top floor. I will show y'all where your rooms are. Remy will show the kids where their rooms are."
"Oui. Follow Gambit."
Mom and Dad left, two different groups following them and Evangeline said to me, "Ah think the mansion needs to be extended."
I laughed and said, "Ah agree, sister."
Esmeralda Howlett
It felt good to be back in the mansion. Logan and I followed Rogue to our room, which I already knew where it was. It was Logan's old room.
"Here's yer room, Logan and Esmeralda." Rogue said to us.
"Thank you, Rogue."
She smiled and walked off to the next room.
We walked in and it was exactly how I remembered it, complete with a Logan claw mark on the door.
I un-packed our things and Logan was standing by the window, looking out upon the training field.
"You okay, Logan?"
"Yes. I just missed training."
I smiled and said, "I bet the kids don't miss you."
Logan looked at me and said, "Now, Ez, what do you mean by that?"
"You weren't exactly nice."
"Nice eh?"
Logan pushed me on the bed and had me pinned down by holding my wrists in his hands and used his legs to pin down my legs.
"Bastard."
Logan chuckled and said, "You know you love me."
"Yes, and I suddenly forgot why."
Elijah Howlett
"Dere's your room." Remy said, pointing to a door with my name on it.
I nodded my thanks and walked in. It was bigger than I imagined. The bed was placed upon the left wall with a television across from it. There was also a desk by the large floor to ceiling window. I began to un-pack my clothes and put them in the closet. I felt at home here.
I decided to explore the mansion a little, since I probably didn't have anything else to do. And if I got lost, there are three telepaths in the building. I'll just keep shouting my thoughts until someone answers me.
"Who are you?" a girl with brown hair with white streaks and bright green eyes asked me.
"Elijah Howlett. Who are you?"
"Ellamae LeBeau. What are ya doing?"
"I was going to go look around this place. I've never been here before."
"Need a tour guide? Ah've lived here my whole life."
"I would appreciate it."
"Pas de problème." (Translation: No problem.)
"Je vous remercie beaucoup." (Translation: Thank you very much.)
"You speak french?"
"Oui."
A/N: Well that sounds like the beginnings of a great friendship, non? Haha. As always, translations are according to google translate, so if something is wrong, blame google, as I do not speak French XD
