Chapter Fifteen
I don't own Digimon or X-Men
Back at Bobby's family's house everyone was in the living room with John playing with his lighter. "So…when did you first know you were a…" Bobby's mother said.
"A mutant?" John said as he played with his lighter.
"Would you cut that out?" Bobby's mother asked him.
"You have to understand. We thought Bobby was going to a school for the gifted." Bobby's father said.
"Bobby is gifted," Rogue said.
"We know that. We just didn't realise…" Bobby's father tried to say.
"We still love you Bobby. It's just this mutant problem is a little…" Bobby's mother said.
"What mutant problem?" Daisuke asked slightly hostile.
"It's complicated," Bobby's mother answered.
"Sure it is," Daisuke mumbled.
"What exactly are you professors of Mr Logan and Ms Daisuke?" Bobby's father asked Logan and Daisuke.
"Art," Logan said.
"Chemistry," Daisuke answered as everyone looked at her and Logan and both shrugged.
"You should see what Bobby can do," Rogue said as Bobby's mother took a sip of her tea and Bobby placed his finger on the cup and it instantly froze making his mother gasp.
"Bobby!" She said in shock as she turned her cup over and the frozen drink fell onto the plate, the cat meowed as it jumped onto the table and started to lick the ice making John chuckle. Bobby's brother stood and stormed off angrily. "Ronny!" His mother called to him. "This is all my fault," She said.
"Actually, it's been discovered that the males are the ones that carry the mutant gene and pass it on, so it's his fault," John said. Ronny meanwhile was in his room when he dialled a number.
"911, please state your emergency,"
"I need the police. There a people in our house, they won't let us leave," Ronny said as he looked at his TV to see a news report about the attack on the X-Mansion. Meanwhile in the X-Jet, Storm was changing the frequency trying to reach someone.
"Nobody's responding. I can't get a signal," She said.
"Why don't you take a break? I'll keep trying." Jean said to her and Storm nodded before she got out of her chair and walked back towards Kurt who was reciting the Hail Mary prayer in German. She sat down beside Kurt who looked at her.
"So…what are they?" She asked looking at the marks on Kurt's face.
"They're angelic symbols passed onto mankind by the archangel Gabriel," He answered.
"They're beautiful, how many do you have?" Storm asked him.
"One for every sin. So quite a few." He answered. "You and Miss Grey are schoolteachers?" He then asked her.
"Yes. At a school for people like us, where we can be safe." Storm answered.
"Safe from what?" Kurt asked.
"Everyone else," Storm replied.
"Do you know, outside of the circus most people were afraid of me. But I did not hate them. I pitied them. Do you know why?" He asked but Storm shook her head. "Because most people will never know anything beyond what they see with their own two eyes," He explained.
"Well, I gave up on pity a long time ago," Storm said as Kurt placed his hand on her face gently.
"Someone so beautiful should not be so angry," He said.
"Sometimes anger, can help you survive," Strom told him.
"But so can faith," Kurt replied.
"Storm, I found an active com device," Jean said.
"Where?" She asked. Back at Bobby's house a beeping was heard and everyone looked towards Daisuke who pulled out the com device.
"Oh, sorry. It's for me," She said as she walked outside.
"Bobby? Have you tried not being a mutant?" His mother asked him.
"No one's left, Jean. Soldiers came in the middle of the night," Daisuke said into the com device.
"What about the children?" Storm asked.
"Logan said he saw them escape with Colossus. But I'm not sure about the others," Daisuke answered.
"We haven't been able to reach the professor or Scott either," Jean said.
"That's not good," Daisuke said.
"Where are you Daisuke?" Storm asked her.
"Boston, with Bobby Drake's family," She answered.
"Okay we're on our way," Storm told her.
"And Storm, you two better get here fast." Daisuke said before she hung up and she heard a noise and saw police officers approaching the house. She went back inside and headed to the front door. "We need to go. Now!" She said to everyone.
"Why?" Takato answered.
"Daisuke, what's wrong?" Layla asked her but Daisuke walked outside with her claws extended.
"Drop the knives and put your hands in the air," An officer told Daisuke pointing his gun at her and the others while Veemon, Guilmon and Coronamon hid in the bushes.
"What's going on here?" Daisuke asked.
"Ronny," Bobby said.
"Oh terrific, another family selling out one of their own," Daisuke thought angrily.
"I said drop the knives," The officer told Daisuke again. Another cop banged on the glass door at the back of the house.
"Open this door," He told Bobby's parents.
"Break it," Another cop said and the glass was shattered.
"Hands against the wall," A third cop told the two adults.
"This is just a misunderstanding," Daisuke said.
"Put the knives down!" The officer shouted.
"I can't," Daisuke told him. "Look," She said as she held her hand out and the claws receded before the cop shot her in the head and she collapsed and Layla screamed.
"Dai!" Takato exclaimed as a blue blur shot out of the bushes and crashed into the officer that had shot Daisuke and Veemon stated to punch the officer repeatedly in the face angrily. The officers were in shock at the digimon's appearance before Takato grabbed him and held him back.
"On the ground now!" Another cop shouted as John looked at his lighter.
"You know how you hear about all those dangerous mutants on the TV?" He asked. "Well…I am the worst one," He said as he sent a blast of fire at the other officer on the porch sending her flying and everyone looked at him shocked, he then sent fireballs at the police cruisers blowing them up and sending them skyward and Ronny watched on in terror. John then threw a fireball at an approaching cruiser and sent it flying in a massive explosion.
"John! Enough!" Mizu shouted at him but he didn't listen and Mizu took action and sent ice beams at the fires extinguishing them. The bullet that hit Daisuke fell off her forehead and the wound closed and her eyes opened up. A rumbling was heard and everyone saw the X-Jet landing on the street as Daisuke stood back up and cracked her neck. She then saw the destruction and looked at John who gave her a grin and she briefly nodded before everyone headed to the jet. The officer who shot Daisuke got up and looked at her in shock, Daisuke looked at him before she shook her head in disappointment and she continued walking off as Bobby looked back at his family before he too headed to the jet. Inside everyone saw Kurt sitting in a seat.
"Guten Tag," He greeted.
"Who the hell is this?" Logan asked.
"Kurt Wagner. But in the Munich Circus I was known as The Incredible Nightcrawler," Kurt said.
"Another time," Logan said to him before he turned to Storm. "Storm? He asked.
"We're out of here," She answered as the jet took off. Meanwhile Xavier was looking down at his legs both fully working and supporting him before he frowned.
"Jason! Stop it!" He shouted at Stryker's son but he remained silent and Xavier gasped as he tried to fight off another one of Jason's hallucinations. Xavier soon opened his eyes to find himself back in the X-Mansion when he heard crying and he turned to see a young girl crying in a corner. "It's alright, you can come out now," He told her.
"Are they gone?" She asked him.
"Yes," He answered and the girl stood and walked towards him. "Where are all the other students?"
"I don't know," The girl answered.
"Well, we'll have to find them won't we?" Xavier said as he wiped the tears from the girl's eyes. "We'll use Cerebro, come on," Xavier said as he and the headed towards Cerebro.
"How far are we?" Logan asked Jean as the X-Jet continued to fly.
"We're actually coming up on the mansion now," She answered before beeping was heard.
"What's that?" Layla asked.
"I've got two signals approaching. Coming in fast," Storm said looking at the radar and two jets sped over them.
"Unidentified aircraft, you are ordered to descend to twenty thousand feet. Return with our escort to Hanscom Air Force Base. You have ten seconds to comply." One of the jet pilots said.
"Well, somebody's angry," Storm said.
"I wonder why," Daisuke said looking at John who shrugged.
"We are coming up alongside you to escort you to Hanscom Air Force Base," the pilot said and the two jets flew beside the jet and one of the pilots pointed down. "Lower your altitude now. Repeat: lower you altitude to twenty thousand feet. This is your last warning," The pilot said before the two jets pulled back and suddenly rapid beeping was heard.
"That's not good," Daisuke said.
"They're marking us," Storm said.
"What!?" Logan asked.
"They're gonna fire! Hang on!" Storm shouted and everyone strapped in but Layla couldn't get her straps locked in. "I gotta shake them," Storm said as the jet suddenly did a diving barrel roll.
"Please don't do that again," John said.
"I agree," Logan said. "Don't we have any weapons in this heap?" He then asked as Storm's eyes became cloudy and tornados started to form behind the X-Jet and the two jets struggled to avoid the spiralling vortexes of wind, one tornado slammed into one of the jets and the pilot ejected.
"One down," Takato said, the other jet still came after them before firing two missiles at the X-Jet before the pilot ejected.
"Incoming!" Mizu shouted.
"Open the ramp!" Daisuke shouted as the ramp dropped.
"The hell are you doing!?" Logan asked her.
"Access Magneto," Daisuke said before she held her hand out at the two rapidly approaching missiles, she made a fist and one missile flew wildly before it exploded, Daisuke then tried to do the same to the other one but by the time she got her eyes on the missile it had hit the jet's room and a scream was heard and Daisuke's heart jumped in her throat as she saw Layla plummeting. "Layla!" She shouted, she nearly jumped after her before she heard a whoosh and Kurt appeared above Layla and he caught her before whooshing back inside the jet as it continued to plummet to the ground, Daisuke then saw the hole in the roof fix itself and the jet started to slow down.
"Daisuke!?" Takato asked her.
"It's not me," She answered as the jet came to a sudden stop. "What's going on?" Daisuke asked as the jet was landed and everyone saw Magneto and Mystique. "Oh perfect," She mumbled sarcastically as everyone disembarked the jet.
"When will you people learn how to fly?" Magneto asked them as he and Mystique shared a smirk.
"Well things can't get any worse?" Logan asked as gagging was heard and Layla threw up all over Kurt. "I spoke too soon," He mumbled.
