The bat in Bayville´s sky
Character 4
The x-impulse part 2
Kitty groaned in frustration as she failed doing the long jump "Hey Kitty why don't you see how a professional does it", the cheerleader taunted and prepared for jumping, in mid air the ground attacked her, Kitty gasped and looked how sand dropped on her tormentor, she wanted so badly to smile but she knew who had caused the anomaly. On the top of the roof Lance smirked, he wanted the help of the Kitty to get inside the blasted office and get the test answers; he only needed to act like he wanted to help her, be her friend and bla, bla. Kitty spotted Lance and ran to the inside of the theater, she shook her head "Calm down Kitty" she kept saying to herself as she tried to avoid a horrible headache. She heard someone behind her and thinking it was Lance she throw a punch. Her eyes opened that she had hit a young, tall, attractive guy. "Oh, I´m like totally sorry I didn't mean to!" Bruce touched the place where she had punched him and grinned at her "you got quite the punch" Kitty blushed hard and giggled "I´m Kitty, what´s your name"-"I´m Bruce" Jean rolled her eyes at her friend "If you two are done with introductions, I think we have some more important things to discuss" Kitty turned to the first time to see Jean "Who are you" Jean smiled at her "I´m a friend" Kitty stepped back "What do you want?" Jean looked at Bruce for help but he was busy staring at some dark corner in the room "We just want to help you, we know what you are going trough" kitty scoffed and grabbed a mask from the wall "You don't know anything" she put the mask on and avoided making eye contact with Jean, she turned to look at the cute boy that she was talking with earlier and saw he was looking a little stressed, what was in the corner that bother him?.
Suddenly she felt something pulling the mask off her face, she gasped when she saw it levitating "Trust me when I tell you that I know what it feels like, I was even younger than you when it happened" Kitty tried to speak but she was so scared that nothing came out of her.
"You are seeing this too, right?" she asked Bruce hoping that all this was just a trick of his mind, Bruce didn't say anything but he growled and left the room, fast "Bruce?" Jean called after him wondering what was wrong with him "Great, just leave alone here with the poor kid" Kitty finally found back her voice and tried to get away from her "You don't understand, neither those that guy Lance" she tried to run but she stopped when she saw a shadow move behind her "It´s a freaking vampire!" Jean reached for her and grabbed her hand "Don't move a finger" Kitty looked at her "I tough that only worked with dinosaurs" she whispered. The bat grabbed some one from the corner and tossed him to the middle of the room "What the hell" Lance said in confusion, but his blood ran cold when he saw the figure standing above him "What the hell are you!" Lance snarled at him, the bat grabbed him by the collar, making him look straight into his eyes "I am vengeance, I am the night, I am Batman" Lance lost the ability to speak at that moment and only recovered from his shock when Batman throw him to the ground "Why were you spying Jean and the other girl" Batman growled at him, Lance lost all his fear and replaced it with anger "Like if it is any of your problem" They started to circle each other "IT is" Batman stated simply "You don't know who you are messing with, Bat-freak, I'm going to make the ground shallow you!" Lance yelled at him, Batman didn´t even blink "Then do it" Lance grinned and made the ground shook and started a huge earthquake, Batman took his grappling hook and disappeared in the roof "You can´t hide forever freak" he made the entire building tremble, he kept looking up trying to find him "Right behind you" Lance turned around and tried to punch Batman, he quickly grabbed his arm "I don't wish to fight you, but if you don't stop now, I will break your arm" Lance glared at him but stopped struggling. Jean looked between both of them and finally decided to say something "Why where you spying us?" Lance looked who looked pale as a sheet of paper, looking between him and the bat "I was trying to help Kitty"-"What?"-"you heard me, I know how you people are, you say sweet things to her and then you take her to a secret lab to extract her brain or something like that" Kitty gasped and looked in terror at Jean "It´s that true?" Jean glared at lance before answering "No, we will never hurt you, we just want to help control your powers for the good of humanity"- "Don't listen to her, that´s exactly what she wants you to believe in" Kitty started sobbing again "I don't know what to think" For her surprise the bat put a gentle hand on her shoulder, "You don't have to do what they say to you, the choice is completely yours, you can hear that guy, or her, but there is a third choice" Kitty blinked "Really?" Batman nodded "Stay at home with your family and live a happy life, family it´s the most important thing that exist" Kitty looked down "I think, I will, like…"
They heard screams from outside, Batman quickly ran to the door, Kitty took some steps back, Lance saw his opportunity, he grabbed her arm "You´re coming with me"-"What?" kitty struggled she punched him in the nose and made her arm phase trough his hand. Jean stood right next to her, Lance held his nose for a while before smiling at her and Jean "Stay away from her Lance" He smirked "You think you can stop me read, well game on"- "Lance is not important right now" Batman said from the door, Lance looked insulted, Kitty and Jean confused "What?" the three yelled at unison "Come and see".
The entire school was covered in a brown type of fog. People screamed from inside the school, screaming was the only thing they could hear, except for the laughter of a madman standing in the middle of the fog, he had a mask in his face, dark soulless eyes, and a rope hanging around his neck (Batman Arkham Asylum), Kitty covered her eyes and headed back inside. This day was officially the worst day of her life.
Scarecrow laughed at the top of his lungs, seeing all this pathetic students and teachers cry in fear was something so beautiful "Please take the off me, the spiders will get in my eyes!" A cheerleader cried in fear hitting with her hand the non existing spiders in her legs, Scarecrow smirked behind the mask, let´s start getting results "My dear child, my poor little scared child" Scarecrow taunted from behind her. She screamed and turned around "A SCARECROW!"-"Yes, that´s what I am, tell me what you see please" He sprayed a little more dose in her face, magnifying the effects of his fear formula "Mommy, Daddy please don´t jump of that cliff, don´t leave me alone!"
"Ah, the fear of losing those close to you, so boring" Crane looked around, trying to find Kitty and finally find out why she was scared of phasing "I´m looking for you Kitty" he said in a mocking sing song voice.
"Get Kitty and Lance out of here Jean"-"What about you?" Batman got out a gas mask "This should help get that guy before he hurts more people"-"How are we going to get out" Kitty asked "With your help Kitty" Kitty blinked "Excuse me"-"You heard me, grab both the hand of Jean and Lance and phase them safely to the street"-"That´s impossible!" Jean closed her eyes and after a couple of seconds opened them "the professor is outside with Kitty´s parents, he says that could work" Kitty looked at her feet before nodding "ok, I will do it" Jean smiled at her, Lance grumbled something but gut closer to Kitty anyways "OK, just like, don't let go" She grabbed both of their hand and walked through the front doors, it felt like they were nothing, a guy ran right trough them, but nothing happened "This is so freaky" Lance muttered.
Bruce breathed heavy, hearing the screams of terrorized people was something that will haunt his nightmares for a couple of days "Not that I sleep a lot anyways".
"Well well, look what I found, a bat in the day light" Scarecrow taunted from the fog "Why don´t you come out and face coward" Batman growled, a claw grabbed Bruce by the face and ripped his gas mask off, Batman started coughing and fell to his knees, Scarecrow started laughing maniacally "I can't wait to see your fears"
Bayville:
Logan, accelerated following the scent of saber tooth, little did he know that he was being followed by two young kids, he took a quick turn disappearing "Do you see him?" Scott asked, Kurt looked around but found nothing "We lost him!" He hit the side of the car in frustration "What are you doing? You don't have to hit it!" Scott yelled but Kurt ignored him, he was looking at the top of a building "There he is!" Logan looked around the city trying his best to find his nemesis "Hey short stuff!" Saber tooth screamed at him, Logan growled and took out his claws slicing the motorcycle of his foe saber tooth jumped out and throw the bike of the roof not caring of any pedestrians, Kurt saw the bike heading their direction grabbed Scott´s wrist and teleported him to a near alley, the bike hit Scott´s car "No my car!" Kurt chuckled and transported them to where the fight was.
Saber tooth was grabbed be neck by wolverine and thrown against the wall, Victor groaned but then started chuckling "Looks like you haven't lost all your strength, I was so waiting for this"
Logan tried to slice him in two, but his enemy grabbed his hand and with his claws ripped the skin of his side.
The skin started to heal but it still hurt like hell. "You are passed your time Logan" Victor grabbed a car and tried to crush Wolverine, he smiled evilly. "Hey you ugly dude" Scott called from behind him and hit him with his lasers throwing Victor against the wall. Kurt transported to Logan and got him out "We can attack together, that will take them by surprise, Ja?" Logan barely nodded but at and invisible signal the three attacked at once, overpowering saber tooth, seeing that he had no chance right now, and he had to follow orders he took the first chance to escape, he jumped down the elevator hole. Wolverine was so tempted to go after him, but stopped as he heard the voice of his arch nemesis "A taste of things to come wolverine!"
"We totally beat him!" Kurt cheered, Scott smiled and nodded. Logan in the other hand was not happy, he got close to the young mutants "I don't fight your battles, so don't fight mine" he said before leaving. "He loves us"-"Right..." Scott rolled his eyes. He looked at the mess outside and heard sirens "We better live like now" Kurt nodded and activated his disguise "I hope Jean and the professor are ok"
Deerfield high:
Jean smiled once they finally out of that horrible fog, the professor wheeled closer "Jean are you all right!"-"Yes and so is Kitty and Lance" Kitty rushed to hug her parents "Oh Kitty we were so scared" Kitty fell the tears roll down her cheeks "Mommy, Daddy if wouldn't have been for Jean and that Bat-guy, I would have died, I think they want to help me" Both of her parents nodded and hugged their daughter "We know the professor told that you were in trouble, so we came as fast as we could" he leaned closer and whispered to Kitty´s ear " We can let you go with them, they are people like you" Kitty nodded excitedly. "Maybe I can finally make some friends!" The professor smiled at the scene, before looking around "Where is Bru… I mean Batman" Jean looked down "He is fighting the creepy guy in the fog" Charles looked at the fog and scanned the area, he felt Bruce´s mind, he was scared and his mind was so troubled, he also felt the mind of a broken mind. He tried to reach Bruce´s mind but was flashed with images of Bruce´s parents getting shot in the chest, their funeral and the most haunting of all, their corpses telling Bruce how he had failed.
Bruce watched as his parents walked closer to him, they were just corpses; their eyes were blank without life. "You should have fought for us Bruce, like a man" his father said and his mother started sobbing "Why did you let us die Bruce"-"You´re a disgrace son!" Bruce felt weak, his mind was weak, he was weak, and what if what they´re saying is true? "No you´re wrong, you are not my father, this is not real!" Bruce cleared his thoughts, his surroundings started crumbling like the barriers in his mind, this was not the end. "What's happening?!" Scarecrow screamed in rage and confusion "I gave you enough dose to drive anyone insane!" Batman grabbed him by the collar and punched him "The antidote now!" Scarecrow felt trapped, but he had a chance to escape, he did have an antidote "Here you go" He throw the antidote far away and when Batman went for it he had disappeared in the fog.
"Reports are coming from Deerfield high, they have found the antidote, right now as we speak they are duplicating it, the perpetrator is Jonathan Crane…" Lance switched off the T.V and sneered "Stupid bat and stupid Scarecrow, they ruined my plan"-"It appears you have no place to go young one" Lance turned to this mysterious woman "Who are you?" Mystique smiled and changed form "My name is Mystique and I offer you a chance to get back at the X-men who ruined your plan" Lance smiled "That´s great I will crush them and the Bat" Mystique raised an eyebrow, the bat? But smiled again "Come with me, my young avalanche"
