Raug gasped as he was cuffed and laughed some as storm stood him up for Beast to wrap his wounds, "Why not send me to Tra-Mai-A-Zath?"
Mikhail rolled his eyes, fusing his mouth shut again as he walked away.
Cain glanced to Pete, "You need to take some of his chill pills," following his friends, "You ok, Mikie?"
"I'm fine," he muttered, rubbing his tender scalp.

Walking back through the building was relatively quiet except for a few whispers.
"I never knew he had an alpha mutant brother," Jean looked to Pete while whispering to Scott.
"It appears he has a lot of power in his bloodline," he whispered a reply.
Victor could hear the gossip and smirked, twirling Mikhail's ponytail, "Looks like you're the talk of the town."
"So I am," he chuckled some.
Stepping over more of the injured through the building and passing several doors the group traversed the wrecked building to find their way back to the first floor.
In passing one particular door was partially opened but no one paid mind until a hand reached out and yanked Mikhail in.
"Seriously?" Vic hurried after.
"Let him defend himself, he might need the release of murder." Cain paused, "No wait, I'm coming! I wanna see this one!" He gave chase, leaving the heroes behind.

"Hello again, my princess," the unmissed Eddie smiled to Mikhail, "I found you!"
"Oh grand, you again," the mutant pushed from the hug, "Let me go."
"What is it you desire?" he held tight.
"I desire you let me go!" he twisted in the grip.
"I wish to make you a very powerful wealthy woman. Please consider my proposal?" he asked, sitting him on the table, still holding to him.
"You clearly heard my promise not to kill," the Russian growled, grabbing a lamp and forming it into a blade, "No means no!" he delivered a stab to the man's shoulder causing him to yell out.
"Ow! That's not nice!" Eddie winced, pulling the knife out, "That's ok, I like 'em feisty," he smiled and hugged tighter only to get grabbed by Cain and thrown through several walls.
"Stop getting kidnapped, princess," the giant American stood the Russian up.
Mikhail turned the chair into a crowbar, hitting Cain in the knee and back several times, "I will cut you!" he dusted himself off as Cain yelled in pain, "Weirdo clearly doesn't know what a woman is."
"Apparently not," Vic snickered, "Why aren't there more people to fight?"
"That actually freaking hurt a little!" the crumpled heap of Cain complained from the floor.

"Can you three please stay near?" Pete sighed as the trio quickly hurried to the caboose of the group.
"We're a coming," Cain waved his hand as they came upon the outdoors.
"Not fast enough," Logan commented, his hair standing on end just before he was thrown from a sudden electric current.
Vic rushed to check his brother. Raug looked smugly at the event.
"What is this nonsense?" Hank looked to the mutant who clearly couldn't speak.
"Brother please unbind his mouth."
The villain of the moment just looked at them when his mouth was released, "Precaution. An electrified fence. Quite lovely actually. Anything in it zapped. Harder it struggles, more intense the voltage becomes." he smiled, "Even the storm maker can't short it. Only make it more powerful."
"Cut it off," Scott demanded.
"I think not." he shrugged, "Can't even if I wanted to, the switch is on the other side and the remote switch isn't with me."
"Clearly it was not meant for exiting once entered." Hank watched as his due stood on end
"Thank you captain obvious." Logan dusted himself off.
"We have to get around it somehow," Scott looked to Logan.
"You're so subtle in your suggestions." He looked to the wide area, "I think Storm should try something, he could've been bluffing."
Victor looked to Cain and back to the group of xmen as they debated. Cain knew what that look meant and smirked, taking both his shirts off.
"You know I'm on restriction right?"
Vic smirked back and tossed his cell phone on top of Cain's shirts, "So will it hurt."
"Probably. I know it'll hurt for you."
"Definitely," he tossed the earpiece, "Ready?"
"Always."

A loud surge of electric charges interrupted the groups conversing.
"Victor?" Logan looked around. Turning to the blinding flashes, hurrying over, "Why doesn't he ever think!?"
"Maybe because he realizes that you would be a conductor, since you're metal under your skin," Mikhail grabbed the shirts and folded them, "Isn't that what brothers are for?" he crooked his head.
Logan just grabbed the bridge of his nose, unsure what to say.

Victor grit his teeth as the electric surges burned through his veins
"Come on cat boy," Cain panted, he was getting most of the voltage due to his size trumping Victor's, "Keep up."
He choked on a laugh "Whatever, Ginger."
"Ginger eh?" the giant reached down and grabbed him, "Nice flight," and with a flick of the wrist Victor was off.

The xmen waited to see what would come of this. Logan was tapping his foot and crossing his arms. Yes he and his brother healed, but why was he still concerned?
Within a few moments the ground shuddered and groaned. The power to the field had been shut down.
"Time to go," Hank told the group.
X
Cain panted at the end of the two mile field with his hands on his knees. With him being on restriction he could feel some pain and he felt most of that. Victor was sitting on the ground outside the generator. That was fun.
Logan saw him and quickly ran over to his charred brother, "Are you ok? Why do you do these things to me?"
The elder coughed, "Isn't that what I'm for?" he pushed himself from the ground, blackened skin letting out sickening cracks as he stood.
Logan just sighed. Majority of his brother's clothes had burned off, "You need clothes."
"I agree," Cain threw his tshirt on the feral mutant, "These children aren't ready for your kitty bits."
"Eat me," he pulled it on.
Mik snickered when he Victor stood, "You look like a toddler playing dress up."
"Like when you put on your little brother's clothes?" he shot back.
"Well...ok," he did have a point.
