Edward POV
We look like something out of a movie standing here on this cliff the wind whipping our rain soaked clothes and hair everywhere and eyes hidden behind dark sunglasses. Looking over at the extremely large funeral that we had to have in order to be politically correct, fuck that shit but it wasn't really in any of our hands this was bigger than us and we couldn't ruin everything Carlisle and the others worked so hard to get because we didn't want any over extravagant shit, but it is what it is.
The funeral took forever but once it was done, the entire mass turned to face us from our perch and stretched out their hands and gave the hand symbol for love, and we returned the gesture before turning and leaving.
The ride back to our base up in Maine was quiet and the air was saturated with the pain one experienced after a great loss, Bella was silent the entire time as she sat in the passenger seat and stared straight ahead, I didn't really know what to say because I couldn't really think straight on my own so I opted for reaching across the center console and holding her hand and giving it a soft squeeze.
It was still silent as everyone poured themselves a drink and scattered themselves throughout the living room.
Clearing his throat Logan stands,
"Guys we've been through shit before and sitting her wishing it was different isn't going to change anything" Logan sighs looking at each of us
"Logan's right" Hank began as he stood from his seat
"Yeah so what's the plan" Colossus huffs looking at Hank
"Tomorrow we have a meeting with the President, Vice President, Secretary of Defense, the head of the NSA, the head FBI director, the head director of the CIA, and the vampire and mutant liaisons for the MVIA tomorrow" Hank lists
"Where?" Victor questions
"Secure bunker in Montana near the mountains" Hank replies
"And then…." I trail off
"Off to upstate New York to the MVIA headquarters so that we can go over the rubble and figure this thing out" Hank explains
{~*~*~*~*~}
The next day came far too quickly and we soon found ourselves just outside of Columbia Falls, Montana deep in the Rocky Mountains staring one another down at a round table in a heavily sound proof room surrounded by bullet proof glass,
"Well I guess we should begin" the President spoke up signaling for the secretary to begin the recording
"On the analysis we've done so far of the rubble we've founded trace amounts of the cure once used on mutants during the attack on our former President, except this cure was modified and far more potent and although it was a stronger strain it still was not strong enough to cure any of the mutants in the blast but it was strong enough to cure them long enough for the actual explosion and fire to kill them" Max the mutant liaison for the MVIA explains
"Were you able to ID any of the attackers?" Hank questions
"Yes we were and they were all human no clear reason as to how they could get their hands on such a potent batch of the cure" Max replies bringing up the files on the large monitor in room
"These two were Biochemist all they really had to do was to keep a few bullets filled with the cure, extract it, reverse engineer, and then proceed to test different mixtures until they found the strongest form" Bella replies pointing to one named Jack Martin and Ryan Sims
"Finding people who hate the existence of vampires and mutants wouldn't be that hard either" Logan adds
"Well they've found it worldwide then" the director for the CIA declares bringing up 23 files having to do with the attacks of predominantly mutant and vampire army bases and MVIA offices around the world
"Survivors report attackers yelling the same phrase before detonating themselves on sight unlike the mutants in these attacks these mutants melted some of their own powers even back fired against them making the damage even greater, so far we've been keeping details under wraps about the attack out the hands of the media" Tracy the vampire liaison for the MVIA explains
"According to the timeline the last attack in the deserts of southern Australia at an MVIA base this was written in the sand just outside of the area Max explains bringing up a picture that read, 'Mutants, vampires, and any who sympathize with them will be eradicated! This is just the beginning, we grow everyday' next to the text was an acronym MVSE
"MVSE?" the director of the FBI reads looking up confusedly
"Mutant, Vampire, and Sympathizer Eradicators" Tracy replies
"Of course" he nods shaking his head
"I have one question about all of this" the director of the CIA declares
"What is that?" Hank questions
"How did they manage to get so close anyway without detection?" he questions
"In all instances they had inside help" Tracy replies
"So what's the proposal?" the President questions
"The X-Men are going to join the MVIA in heading this investigation all rights are overridden if it has anything remotely to do with the investigation the NSA, FBI, CIA, and MVIA will continue to trade intelligence until the issue is completely solved" the Secretary of Defense explains
"Along with an increase in the security of the President and everyone in this room along with others" the head of the NSA began
"Actually that might be a bad idea we don't know who is a part of this organization so we need to check your protectors now human, mutant, and vampire before we start other people to the mix" Victor replies
"And how do you propose we do that?" the head of the CIA questions
"The cure has very specific ingredients that most people won't need to purchase in bulk much less together and there are very few substitutes they can use in order to cover their tracks sow we check the date when Sims and Martin made their purchases and anyone who did the same we'll detain and question from there" Hank replies
"And how do you suspect that will take?" the head of the CIA questions
"If we do it my way we'll have all candidates' names and current addresses in a few hours and people moving in on said candidates in two days" Bella answers
"Very well meeting adjourned" the President declared as we stood and his secretary left with the recordings of the meeting
"Be careful with detaining these people we don't need to do damage control on top all of this" the head of the NSA instructs he nods
"We'll relay the message" Tracy nods as we exchange pleasantries and head our separate ways
The plane ride was quiet and although our faces were solemn, my mind reading coupled with my experience of living with the people on the plan bar two, told me that heads would roll and in some cases quite literally because for a vampire only thing more sacred than a mate was their maker if the situation was ideal and for the Cullen coven Carlisle Cullen and his mate Esme Cullen were nothing but ideal.
