I’m introducing six new characters in total. Three to the brotherhood and three to the X-men. All are mine. I don’t own the ones from the series. This is a universe that also includes a new leader to the Brotherhood. Hope you like them. Ferris-D is a villain from the my own mind. By the way I don’t own Pyro he’s an original Brotherhood member for those who haven’t seen him in season 2’s finale [he’s there somewhere I hear].
**PG-13 coz’ it contains strong language and the like
~*~
17 year old Dana Harvey finished strapping her costume on. It was made of purple plating and the black belt was a perfect accessory. She adored what it did for her purple eyes and the natural purple streaks through her hair, the headset with the green stone on the purple metal was neat as well. And her name was cool too. Magnetix! The Magnificent Magnetix! Her brown and purple hair leapt as she hopped out of the changing room.
Raphael Leonardo Damon De Marquez alias Psionic, had a long name. Everyone called him Rae for their own reasons. It was easier then tying your tongue into a knot over the full one. The seventeen year old pushed his dark hair out of his eyes and strapped the chest pad onto his costume. There were pockets all over his belt. He looked at his guitar and telekinetically strummed it.
He left the changing room and walked past Kevin on his way out.
Kevin Swift a.k.a Electron looked at his spiked hair in the mirror. It was half electric blue and half blonde. His costume was white and the same shocking blue as his hair. Little lightening bolt shapes covered it. He too was 17.
He clipped his gloves and boots on. They were clipped on because he burned up some of his clothes whenever he used his powers extensively or elaborately.
The danger room was charged up. Storm and Wolverine stood with the professor in the control room. ‘Okay, a warm up for tomorrows exercise’ Wolverine said. He pressed the buttons. ‘Lets see you guys win against these little toys’.
The beetle robots moved out. They scanned the students and raised their weapons. Cyclops started to shout orders. ‘Okay, There’s four of them. Two to one. Jean you’re with me!’
‘Power trip’ Dana said as she floated into the air. She and Rogue went straight for it. ‘Take out the sensors first!’ Psionic shouted.
‘No! the weapons’ Cyclops said. ‘Take them out first!’.
Psionic growled and pointed his hand. He forged a psychokinetic spear appeared, he could shape the energy at will. He hurled it straight into the eyes of the first one. Cyclops was already blasting the robot Jean was knocking off balance. Kurt BAMF-ed to the robot he and Rogue were disabling. ‘Okay, Kurt I got your power. You distract it and I’ll try open its head up.’
‘Ja, Rogue’ he BAMF-ed into the robots path. ‘Hey, mein tin can! Come and get me!’ He stuck out his tongue and leapt as a laser blast narrowly missed him by inches. He bounced around. Rogue BAMF-ed from the shoulder to the head. Working quickly she opened the head. The red line on the robots head moved out and upwards on a tendril. it turned the blaster on its head to face her as its eyes scanned her body. It fired before she could BAMF and she fell. Kurt BAMF-ed onto the head, to finish Rogues work> the Scanner picked up the problem. WHACK! With a gun arm the robot knocked Kurt off its head. The Robot turned and advanced on Spike and Kitty. ‘Like, watch out!’ kitty said. She phased through the robot, it jerked and smoked. Immediately the lasers began to fire off. Spike hurled a long splinter into the robot’s chest. A beam hit Kitty and stunned her. Spike turned and the blaster stunned him out.
Dana and Kevin leapt onto the robot’s arms. ‘Short out time’ Kevin said. He blasted the weapon with a bolt. It seemed to flicker and immediately returned the energy shock. ‘Whoa!’ he yelped as he was shocked off the arm. Dana raised her hands and the Robots weaponry tried to pull itself off the arm. A beam came from the head and fired into her. She fell back. Kevin charged up and flew through the air.
‘Look out’ Psionic shouted. The fist hit Kevin as the words left his mouth.
Jean put up a shield. The beams were coming from the four robots including their own. It broke through the shield and stunned her. Scott fired the blast and took off its head. He aimed at another and blasted. One came up behind him. It aimed its head beam. Then the arm of another shot through the air and put itself through the eyes. It shook and fell. Psionic pushed the junk away and slammed it onto his own enemy. Cyclops blasted the other. He looked to see Psionic dodging the beams of his robot.
‘Amateur’ he muttered and fired his optic blast and took out a chunk of the machines core. The lasers stopped. The robot that had been sneaking in on Scott fell down, its body blasted by the same types of laser its counterparts used.
‘What was that?’ snapped Scott. ‘You guys stank!’
‘Uh oh’ Wolverine muttered. ‘this ain’t good’.
‘Is it ever?’ asked Storm. They stepped into the elevator and went down to the Danger room.
‘Like, sorry but they were always able to blast us’ Kitty said.
‘Even when we were behind them’ Rogue said. ‘They stretched their eyes. Then ZAP we were stun fodder’.
‘I could barely Port in time Scott’ said Kurt.
‘That’s no excuse!’ snapped Scott. ‘We really sucked! I mean, talk about bad!’
‘Give it a rest Scott’ said Rae.
‘And you!’ Scott said. ‘I said take out the weapons first! When you took out the eyes you put us in danger!’
‘Hey...’
‘If it wasn’t for me you’d be toast!’
‘This isn’t good’ said Evan. ‘I think this is getting worse by the second...’
Rae floated into the air and into the elevator as Storm and Wolverine came towards them.
‘what’s eating him?’ asked Wolverine.
‘Cyclops’ Dana said. ‘Chewed him up and spit him out!’
‘What’s your problem anyway! ?’ said jean.
‘Look...this kid shows up suddenly, on our doorstep. A little convenient...ya know? I mean he’s Irish, travelled the world with high profile foster fokes, most of whom had bad luck. And his last long-term school sank into the ground’.
Dana rolled her eyes. ‘Look love’ she said in her thick English accent. ‘You’ve not had a problem with me, and I stuck two buses together.’
‘But some of his parents died! Not just the biological ones. I mean...hello! ? Burned down house, a man with a broken spine but no bruising anywhere else? !’ Telekinesis can do that!’
‘Grow up Scott’ said Kitty.
Ferris-D spun in his chair humming "I’m in the Money".
‘Old man depression! You are through you’ve done us wrong!’ he stopped abruptly. He was 21 with a mop of blonde curls on his head. He wore a white suit and boater. His red coronation stood out in contrast to his suit. The people in the corner were shaded over. The first walked forward. He was strong and powerful. His helmet allowed only his blue eyes to shine through. ‘Ferris-D’ he said. ‘I have a Job for you’.
‘Listen Kid’ Ferris-D said. ‘Halloween is well and truly over...’
He flew upwards into the air and was held by an invisible hand. ‘I amn’t finished’ the man said. ‘My name X. That is all you will know and here. My job is easy’ he handed Ferris-D a disk. ‘This disk contains information on the targets. Their unique attributes and incredible talents. Skills and all. I want them kidnapped and put in your park. I want to see what they can do, of course if they fail they die’.
Ferris-D laughed. ‘No one has survived my park yet...I killed...’
‘Yes I know your father because he cut off your allowance, I killed my foster father because he didn’t get the right cereal. Now sit down!’ Ferris-D was thrown back into the seat. He spun in it.
‘How much do I get?’
‘Each one is worth their weight in gold’ said a female voice. She wore a tight black suit. ‘For every one you will be paid their exact weight in gold.’ Her leather boots had sharp heels on them but she made not a sound on the marble floor of the control room.’
The disk landed in his lap. ‘Okay then’ he chuckled. He looked up as a gust of wind and a strange noise burst through the air. Barely audible as it was he realised that he was alone.
`~~~*~~~
The cafeteria bustled with activity. The Brotherhood was in the corner, stuffing their faces. Kitty shouldered past Lance. He nearly caused a quake to get her but a sharp glance from Sabine deterred him.
Sabine was a new recruit from Beijing. She had green hair and finely boned features. She called herself shudder and possessed the ability to send out vibro-shock blasts.
Then there was the Australian Ollie Saunders who could control flame but not create it. He was blonde and completely obsessed with fire.
And lastly the African-American Loral who could shoot acidic energy that melted any thing in its path. She called herself Smoulder.
‘looks like the Brotherhood are as dumb as ever’ Dana said to Kitty. ‘And what’s with the hostility?’
‘Just pissed off’ kitty said. ‘Okay...so yesterday he triggered a quake and I fell into a puddle. I mean to think It all started over some milk!’
‘Sit down’ Dana said. ‘I think I should dig up Freud’.
‘He threw milk at me, I let it phase through me and he hit Duncan, Duncan hit him with spaghetti and started the food fight. He blamed me and made my science project fall off its table. I swear Spite is making them stronger’.
‘You do mean the new leader right?’
‘Yeah’ kitty said. ‘then I phased my hand into his computer and made him lose his assignment for Computer sciences.’
‘Since when do you take classes with him?’
‘Since the start of term. I swear! He is really annoying me.’
Scott and Kurt joined them, then Evan and then Rogue and Jean. ‘So Jean why are you so happy?’ asked Dana.
‘Duncan asked her out’ said Rogue. ‘Right after History’.
Kevin slid in beside them. ‘Say folks I call the Jessica Alba season on TV tonight’.
‘The fox’ growled Evan. ‘but not as Foxy as the girls on Bay Watch. Eight straight hours!’
‘Eww!’ said Kitty. ‘I’m going to be watching the N*Sync live gig anyway’.
‘Over my dead body’ said Rogue. ‘A film Noir of Dracula is on tonight!’
Rae entered. ‘Come here Rae’ shouted Kurt. ‘You can help us decide the TV program for tonight’.
Rae looked at Scott from behind his glasses. Took his book from his tray and tossed the food into a trash can. He slid the tray back and left.
‘What’s up with him?’ wondered Jean.
‘Here on jeopardy the $500 question...And the answer is Scott Summers’ attitude’ Dana said into her spoon with the voice of a quiz show announcer.
Kurt made a ping. ‘Vas is pissing Rae off?’
‘Thank you! Johnny, give the elf his cash!’ Dana said.
Scott frowned at her from behind his shades.
‘Hey, Scott you deserve a good slagging’ she said in her usual accent.
~~~*~~~
Toad glared at the X-men. ‘You know! They really piss me off’ he sneered.
‘hey, sit down toad’ Pietro said. ‘The babe is going to be looking in my direction’.
‘Yeah’ Sabine said. ‘And throwing up after that’.
He shot to her side and grabbed her drink. ‘Give it back you ass!’
‘No way’ he smirked. Blob was stuffing his face beside Loral. ‘Like, can’t he eat before we come?’ muttered Loral. ‘He’s totally embarrassing me’.
‘Ah shut up’ Blob muttered. Toad hopped over to Ollie. Ollie was lighting and extinguishing his lighter. ‘Burn, burn, burn’ he sang softly. Avalanche looked at Kitty. ‘She thinks she’s the greatest’ he muttered. ‘I’ll show here!’
‘Hey’ Pietro shouted. Sabine was holding his face into the sloppy Joe.
~~~*~~~
Scott tapped on the keys. ‘He was at Oakside boarding school...Yes! They did a psyche evaluation on every student! I’ll see what they say here’.
He tapped the keys quickly.
De Marquez, Junior flashed on screen. He read it and his jaw dropped he. He clicked the print Key. ‘Time to get this out into the open.’ He grabbed the page and darted out the door. He didn’t even notice the page 1 of 2 icon in the corner as the screen faded.
~~~*~~~
Kurt and Evan are playing Table tennis, Kevin is listening to music on his headphones and the girls are on the couch reading. Jean is reading The Bell of The Ball fashion Guide. Kitty is reading Bella Martin, Biography of a prankster, Rogue is reading Belladonna the poison and Dana is reading The Belljar.
Scott came in. ‘What more proof do you guys need?’
‘Oh goody’ Dana said. ‘We have a witch hunt. What did Rae do now?’
‘He probably infected our cattle with foot and mouth’ said Kurt.
‘Or made a pact with the devil’ Evan said.
‘We’re Mocking you Scott’ said Dana. ‘And if Kurt guessed right we need to get disinfectant mats.’
Scott handed her the page. ‘He was diagnosed with...ahem...schizophrenia, homicidal tendencies and various other syndromes. He also has a tattoo that is unreligious’.
‘So?’ Dana said. ‘I have a tattoo but I don’t flash it around...I could get arrested for that...uhh I’ll be quiet now...’
Everyone crowded around Jean as she was handed the page. ‘Its true’ she said.
‘Man’ Dana said. ‘Hell! The boss loves to slag off slackers...uh Kitty lets get going.’
‘Huh? Oh! I hadn’t noticed the time!’
‘Work is an excuse to get out of a house where a lunatic is’ Evan said.
‘Whose that?’ asked Rae from the doorway.
There was a deadly silence.
Scott took the page and waved it in front of Rae’s face. ‘We have a psych evaluation. It says you attacked a student and broke both his arms, a leg and gave him whiplash, the police want you for questioning about the assault and three charges of theft’.
Rae read the page. ‘That is really scraping the barrel’ he said. ‘You think Spite sent me to eliminate you or something? Well that’s what Scotty thinks’. He shredded the paper and threw it away. ‘I’ll get my stuff’.
‘Wait’ Jean said. ‘We didn’t mean...’
The door slammed in their faces. Jean pulled at it. ‘He locked it’ she murmured.
‘He’s going to get Spite I bet’ Scott said.
Rogue rolled her eyes. ‘Not everyone works for Spite...’
Scott shot a tiny amount of energy into the lock. the door opened in time to see Raphael and his case dash by. ‘Hold it!’ Scott said. ‘I know they want you for the attack!’
They dashed towards the garage. Rae was already on his motorcycle. ‘Jean! The gate!’
Jean pointed and focused. The lever clunked and slid down on him.
‘I’ll call the cops’ Evan said. A silver light burst from the garage. A saw cut through the garage door and Rae sped from it.
Scott opened the garage door. He leapt into his car. ‘Hold on’ Dana said. She jumped into her own car. ‘he’ll probably try and kill you if he really is homicidal. Let me’.
‘Okay go! we’ll alert the cops to where he’s going’.
Dana’s car sped off after the motorcycle.

Spite was tall, brown haired, green eyed and leather clad. She walked around the table the Brotherhood sat at. ‘I amn’t happy about this’ she said. ‘I leave you alone for three minutes and you attack each other!’
She grabbed Pietro’s bruised face. ‘if I wasn’t instructed to watch you lot! I would drop you off a cliff! And Avalanche yes I believe having children will be very hard now, thanks to Sabine.’
Sabine held the Ice pack to her head. ‘Time for the daily taunt’ she said. She took out her cell phone. Dialling the number she dismissed them with a wave of her hand. ‘Oy, boss lady what bout lunch?’
She glared at him and her eyes flashed. He ran away before she could use her powers on him.
123
Wolverine lifted up the phone. ‘Yeah?’
‘Hello lover’ she said.
‘Spite’ he growled.
‘You sound happy to see me’ she said, sitting back onto the table.
‘Why are you always calling me?’
She laughed. ‘Because, we have a past. If Creed thought he had something on you, well I have more. More interesting, more...aha...personal’.
‘What is it! ?’ he snarled. ‘Lets just say, we have some serious past...see you in your dreams lover’.
She hung up on him. She lay back on the table and sighed. ‘I love our little games. Not as good as the other things but...oh well’.
123
Dana stopped. ‘Rae stop!’ she screamed. The motor cycle shot over the edge and into the sea. There was an explosion. Dana covered her eyes. ‘Oh God!’ she gasped. She looked down and raised her hands. The stones rose up and created a wall against the water. She saw what looked like a hand among the wreckage. ‘Holy crap’ she said.
She got back into her car and pressed the communicator button.
‘Guys’ she said in a shaky voice.
‘Yeah? Did you catch Psychotic?’ it was Scott’s voice.
‘Shut up Scott’ she said. ‘Rae just committed suicide. He drove off a cliff’.
‘What...’
‘Thanks a lot. You had to confront him like they do on TV!’
‘How can you pin this on me?’
‘How do you think ask the others!’
She turned the car with her powers and headed back to the manor.
123
Toad was practicing the acrobatic kickboxing Spite had developed for him. He leapt and kicked then lashed with his tongue. Spite watched him. Pietro was punching a dummy at top speed, Avalanche was manipulating the earth to shape itself, and Sabine was shaking a pile of rocks into gravel. Loral had melted a tree to a stub. Blob was standing against the ball shooter and Ollie was moving his flames through a maze.
They were in the old fall out shelter she had turned into a base. It was quite big and right under a quaint house. She looked around. There was something unusual going on...she put her glass of wine back on the table and walked towards the door. She opened it. There was a package on it.
‘To Loral’ she read. ‘Loral! Here’s a package’ she said. ‘Acid it’ she ordered.
‘Like, Why?’
‘Because someone left it in a secret place only we know about!’
‘Oh, like, yeah’ Loral murmured.
She pointed her hand and the yellow and green cloud of light gas enclosed around the parcel. There was a flash and an explosion. A purple cloud rose up. Spite turned around as her sight dimmed and saw a young man walk into the room. She fell unconscious.
123
Scott sat with the eyes of his friends on him. They were in the control room.
‘What am I here for? We should be running simulations before the excersise...’
‘Scott’ Kevin said. ‘look at this...’
He pressed the play button. A cassette replayed the events of the previous morning.
‘That’s me fighting all the robots’ Scott said. ‘Look guys, I know I was harsh, but don’t blame yourselves’.
Dana rolled her eyes and pressed pause. She pointed to the robot behind scott. ‘It was already scanning you...if it were real and Psionic hadn’t risked his neck to move the robot arm while in combat you’d have been dead, stunned in the simulation> And when you thought he wasn’t able to hrut the machine...he was susing its confusion to toast the one you hadn’t noticed directly across from him. He took out the optic sensors to confuse it and make it rely on its basic radar’.
‘Ja, it is true’ Kurt said. ‘He said vee should take out zee eyes but you told us to take zee weapons...’
‘uhh...whoa’ said Scott. ‘I didn’t realise...But the police were after him...’
‘Yes’ Dana said. ‘But you kept at him and couldn’t trust him. Maybe if you had he would have told us...’
‘But he’s dead now’ Kitty said. There was a bleep and the door opened. Storm came in holding a box. ‘This arrived for you Jean’ she said. ‘But...well it was left at the entrance to the danger room...’
‘I say zap it’ said Spike.
‘Boys and there explosions, this is the Middleverse incident all over again’ muttered Jean.
‘Ja, but I am not trapped in an alternate universe zis time’ said Kurt.
Cyclops aimed his visor. ‘Okay, stand back. I’m using full blast’.
The package was placed on the ground. Electron had his powers charged up for back up and Dana and Jean were already charging for a shield.
The blast was surprisingly small, then the purple smoke flooded out. A blonde young woman walked in. She was the last thing Kitty saw before she fell asleep.
123
Spite opened her eyes. She sat up. ‘What on earth’ she mumbled. She looked around. Her students were gone. She stood up and looked at the table. There were strange baseball cards on it. ‘Well now’ she muttered. ‘What is this?’
She turned them over. On each one was one of her students faces, fully costumed and with their name printed in bold. ‘What!’ She took the cards and found a small white slip.
‘Missing You Already’ was written on it in red.
‘This can’t be good’ she muttered. ‘Logan!’ she said coldly.
123
Wolverine entered the console room and looked at the mess. Part of the ground was dinted. Cards lay in it. He sniffed the air. ‘Knock out gas’ he muttered. He picked up the cards, all the students and even Storm. ‘Spite’ he snarled.
*Charles!* He said metally
*Yes wolverine?*
*Someone’s captured the kids...I found cards of them and Storm, she’s gone too...I think Spite got them *he growled.
*I’ll start searching Logan* the professor said. *Come to the study quickly*
123
‘uhh...’murmured Scott. He looked around. ‘What the hell?’
He was in a house of mirrors.
Hello Scott...and Pietro of course. My name is Ferris-D. And you are my prisoners, here in Murderworld’.
Scott looked at Pietro who was getting up. ‘What the hell is going on where am I?’
‘Murderworld Mr Maximoff...my deadly theme park> And you’re in my hall of mirrors. A nice little maze of electrified paths. Touch a mirror and get the shock of your life’.
‘What do you want?’ shouted Scott.
‘Your weight in gold’ replied Ferris-D. ‘But also the thrill of the kill.’
‘Man, this is whack I’ll just whiz around here and get us out...’ Pietro said. He sped towards the distant glowing door. There was a crackle and he was knocked over by an invisible wall.
123
‘Its more like glass you see’ said Ferris-D. This is, yes, the house of glass. He who Touches the glass gets a shock. I believe you can each stand only a few. Not telling an exact amount. The electric fields pack a kick all right. If you make it to the outside I’ll let you go. This is the master of murder, Ferris-D signing off.’
123
Pietro straightened his hair. ‘So summers what do we do?’
‘Huh? Are you asking my opinion?’
‘Yeah, I ain’t got time to do much else’.
‘Okay...well we need to be able to find a path through it. Maybe...yeah, okay Pietro, I want you to spin into a whirlwind and send up the dust...’
123
The screens showed the X-men and brotherhood mutants in the various traps. Nightcrawler and Toad being attacked by their robot duplicates in a hall of mirrors. Storm and Smoulder dodging the deadly shooter robots. Avalanche and Kitty trapped in a fun tower, with ball pool of boiling water and dangerous clown robots. Dana and Ollie being attacked by bumper cars with spiked bumpers. Shudder, Jean and Rogue dodging the attack of water pressure cannons. Spinning jets were attacking Blob and Spike. Kevin was being moved around for target practice on a duck shooting game. Ferris-D laughed maniacally.
‘So Darcy what do you think?’
The blonde girl was identical to a Barbie doll. ‘Great work’ she said in a bright voice. ‘I made some cookies to celebrate.’
‘You can celebrate when they’re dead’ said a voice.
X had returned his helmet was easy to see it was black and grey like his costume, covering the face perfectly. The girl leaned beside him. ‘Feral!’ he commanded.
The wolf like beast appeared it was foaming at the mouth. It wore tattered clothes. ‘Poor stupid annimal’ X said. ‘Totally under my control...Feral watch the outside!’
He looked at Ferris-D and Darcy. ‘Nice work’ he said. His smile faded. ‘Where’s the other one!’
‘What?’
‘Raphael! A psychic!’
Ferris-D smiled. ‘Dead’ he said. ‘I heard he committed suicide. Well the girl in the bumper car ring said so anyway. He drove off a cliff’.
‘Excellent’ Dream said. ‘We’ll search for his body later’.
‘Yes’ X said. ‘Ferris-D, When they are dead I’ll pay you’.
‘Yeah I know’ said Ferris-D. ‘Naturally this will be fun too!’
Dream made clockwise motions near her head. X nodded in agreement.
They stepped up onto the slightly raised level near the control panels and sat into the watching seats.
123
‘Its strange psychic inhibitors appear to be in use in Bayville’ said Professor said. ‘So I cannot find them. But where I can’t look...’
‘They are?’ guessed wolverine.
‘Yes’ said Professor X. ‘They seem to be on board an enormous cruise liner in the bay...strange...its not for the public...its all for an eccentric billionaire no one knows...’
A light began flashing on the wall. ‘Looks like company’ said Wolverine. He pulled his mask on.
‘I have to call the various employers’ said Xavier. ‘For instance Kitty and Dana’s job. No one must know they are missing. I’d say that you’ll have our intruder by then’.
‘Yeah Charles’ Wolverine said gruffly. He left quickly.
123
Wolverine sniffed the air. The person was hiding so their scent was carried by the wind. He turned around. A heeled leather stiletto boot hit him in the face. He hit a tree and flipped back up. Spite walked towards him. She grabbed his neck and pulled him close. She was practically sucking his tongue out within three seconds of attacking him.
He pushed back. ‘You!’
She smiled. Her hand caught him in the jaw. ‘Where are my students Logan’ she said. ‘We played the hiding game long ago, now is not the time!’
He leapt up and kicked her hard, she buckled to one side. A memory shot through his head as she cried out. He couldn’t see what had happened in it. Spite slashed him across the face. Her green nails came at him again and in, across the chest. His costume didn’t hold against it. His wounds were already gone. She leapt into a kick. He grabbed her foot and pulled her in. She pressed her knee against his chest. ‘So Logan’ she whispered. ‘Where are they?’
‘My students are gone too’ he said. He swung her into the tree. There was a tangle and she pinned his arms with her knees, she sat on his chest. ‘Then why are mine missing?’
Wolverine’s legs came up and hit her in the head she rolled and stood. ‘So we are both caught out by someone? Whoever kidnapped our students?’
Yeah he said. He retracted his claws. She put out her hand as he did. They shook.
‘Truce’ the agreed.
123
‘The liner is well guarded’ said the Professor. ‘ I know you are both able for it...but I think caution is best. And do not use your powers extensively...it could prove dangerous’.
He tapped the keys. ‘Take the Skimmers into the bay’ he said. ‘We’ll fly the blackbird over and drop you out’.
‘Your big plane?’ said Spite, curiosity crept into her voice. ‘I’ve always wanted to see it’.
‘Just don’t expect to fly it’ said Wolverine gruffly. Her hand snaked a down his leg she pinched him. He hopped forward.
‘Don’t do that again!’ he snarled.
She winked and walked after the professor.
123
Dana raised her hands, the car didn’t move.
‘You tried that all ready mate’ said Ollie. ‘And I ain’t even got my lighter...’
‘They must be plastic’ she muttered. She cartwheeled to one side as a car snashed into the already beaten up wall.
*Dana* a voice said in her head.
‘Whose there?’ she called.
*me* said Rae’s voice.
‘Rae? But you’re dead...Are you really alive?’
*Yep alive and kicking, listen the cars aren’t magnetic but something else is...*
She looked up. ‘The mesh! By the way Rae, I’ll kick your ass, How did you survive?’
*I’ll tell you later, but no one must know I’m alive!*
‘Why?’ she asked.
*Long story. Just keep it hushed*
She raised her hands and the wire mesh glowed. The car veered away from Ollie.
‘Corr...’ he mumbled. ‘What are you doing?’
‘Love, I’m helping with road safety, I’ll have to fine these two’
The cars seemed able to follow only a certain path. They smashed into each other and exploded. Ollie looked at the fire. ‘Yes!’ he wlped. He took the small nozel from his costume and touched the burning wreckage with it.
‘Flamed up’ he said.
They walked towards the door, the glowing bulbs flickered on and off.
123
Pietro a spun again. They walked another step as the blue light appeared with every bit of dust that hit them.
Pietro staggered but Cyclops helped him walk. ‘We’re almost there.’ He said. Pietro spun again, they stepped onto the ramp. A huge electric field appeared.
‘Not so fast!’ Ferris-D snapped. Cyclops shook his head. ‘Lets see what this does’ he said. He fired a beam and ducked. The beam bounced around and soon hit the lights on the door. There was a flash and an explosive wave. The field disappeared.
‘Let’s go’ said Cyclops. He helped Pietro towards the doors.
123
Smoulder fired the acitric cloud and melted the gun. But another appeared. ‘What do we, like, do?’ she shouted.
‘We hurry’ said Storm. ‘If they can’t see us they can’t hit us.’ She raised her hands. ‘Icy snow and mist I command you to hide us.’
The ice and snow appeared in clouds above her. Loral stuck close as they swept around the room. The robots seemed to be shaking and quaking like they were having seizures.
‘Now child!’ Storm said. Loral aimed and fired her clouds of deadly spray. The acid melted the robots. The hatches were sealed by the ice. There was a clunka dn a bang. Storm looked at the bullet holes on the wall. ‘Lucky we weren’t hit’ she said.
‘Like, totally!’ Loral said.
They walked towards the door on the ice. Loral slipped a few times but they soon walked to freedom.
123
Nightcrawler dodged the laser blast from the robot. It swung a fist at him. The perfect duplicate of himself was a lot less...fuzzy. The mirrors moved around and twisted and since the robots mimicked he and Toad until they attacked it didn’t help.
‘Having fun?’ Ferris-D sang. ‘Wait until I crank the robots to hyper kill’.
‘Man, I can’t wait to get this guy!’ Toad said. His tongue caught the duplicates and he recoiled.
‘Man! Solid steel!’
‘Ja, my fists are killing me’ Kurt said. ‘And I don’t look zat goofy do I?’
‘Uhh...I don’t know’ Toad said. Kurt BAMF-ed, the one thing that the robot couldn’t do. ‘I have an idea Toad’ Kurt said.
‘Yeah what is it?’ asked Toad as the spray of acid nearly burned him up.
‘I vill face my duplicate and then BAMF you hit him with your gunk in the face. It should clog him up’.
‘Sure’ said Toad.
They split away. Nightcrawler and Nightcrawler circled. Toad hopped around, sticking to the mirrors and roof. ‘Now!’ Kurt shouted. He BAMF-ed and the spray of slime hit the robot in the face. Clogging its circuits. To finish it off Toad leapt and kicked it in the head as hard as he could. The flying metal skull shattered the mirror. Toad leapt away as Kurt BAMF-ed in and grabbed the Toad Robot. He BAMF-ed and slammed the android into the steel ground. The mirrors stopped moving as he pulled the head off. A doorway opened.
‘Looks like zee way out’ said Kurt.
‘Lets roll man!’ said Toad as he hopped towards the door.
123
Kevin ducked as the duck robot fired another rifle bullet at him. ‘Man, a huge carnival toy is shooting at me’ he said. ‘And I can’t even shock him because of this ruddy plastic shield he has!’
He dodged behind another picture of him and a bullet pierced its head. ‘whoa!’ he yelped. ‘For a duck robot he’s got a good shot!’
Another shot whizzed out as the moving ground reversed. ‘Crap on Toast! This is getting monotonous!’
He looked around. He picked up one of his fallent figures. He threw it across and the Mallard turned to fire.
‘Bye bye ducky!’ he sang. The electric ball knocked the duck over and shorted it out. He jumped from the conveyor belt and ran towards the door. ‘I’ll never look at Daffy the Same again!’
123
Spite and Wolverine sped towards the huge yacht on the horizon. ‘ETA then minutes’ she said. ‘I must say, only you could set my blood pumping like this lover’.
Wolverine growled threw gritted teeth.
123
Spike ducked and the laser blast missed. He was in a weird place, it seemed to have space planets and stuff painted on the walls and little fighter space jets were shooting lasers at him and The Blob.
Blob threw a crate at the jet, it swerved and fired again. Spike threw a spike and missed by an inch. ‘Ma’ the Blob said. ‘We can’t hit them’.
‘We have to win, they’ll cut us down when they get the chance...but every time I hit one or come close to another one gets in the way and zaps my spike...Hey Blob, throw that weird shaped chair.’
Blob picked up the chair and threw it at a jet. Spike fired and as the chair blew up his spikes hit the jet. ‘Start throwing Blob!’
They spikes and boxes flew, furniture soared towards the jets with spikes following it.
Soon only a single one was left. And the biggest one, with no furniture in the room intact they were without their trusted attack.
‘Hey, Blob how about a body slam?’ asked Evan.
‘Huh? Oh yeah!’
Evan distracted the jet while Blob climbed the wall, smashing his own foot holds into the wall. He leapt into the air.
‘Time to go space cadet’ Spike said. he darted away as Blob smashed the jet. It was crushed into a million pieces and instantly a door opened.
123
Spite and Wolverine climbed up the rope ladder, it was a long climb but they eventually reached the top. She straightened her hair. ‘I really want to meet this billionaire A-S-A-P’ she said. ‘So I can G-B-H his A-S-S!’
Wolverine flexed his claws and stepped in against the wall. A security drone came around the corner and Wolverine slashed it in two. The bulky machine fell away.
‘Nice handy work’ Spite said.
They crept towards the captains quarters.
123
Jean leapt to one side as the pressure dinted the wall behind her. The cannons had clownheads on them, mounted. Their red noses the heat sensors. Rogue had a little boost from Shudder and Jean.
‘This screwed up sicko is as good as toast when I get him’ snarled Shudder. She fired a blast, bracing herself for its recoil. The cannon shuddered but didn’t seem to be affected seriously.
‘Get in line’ said Rogue. She used telekinesis to stop the water and then sent a shudder into the cannon.
‘This sin’t working’ Jean said. ‘We have to disable them fast!’
‘When Ferris-D is mine I’ll shake him up a little’ snarled Shudder.
‘Sabine!’ snapped Jean. ‘We have to get the cannons out. I need you to break their control panels open so I can shred them!’
Shudder nodded and rolled to one side. She pointed and the rings of energy opened the panel with a single blast. Jean and Rogue concentrated there was a flash and the cannons began to weaken.
‘And now I get them’ Shudder said. She fired with Rogue and the cannons exploded, water fell onto the girls. The door opened. Shudder ran towards it. ‘When I find him he’s mine!’
‘Come on’ Jean said.
‘I’m right behind ya’ Rogue called.
123
Avalanche ducked the clow robots swing and pointed his hands. He had to focus on the stone cement. It was all Spite’s training. Stretching himself he made the concrete shatter. The clown slipped and fell onto its back. The stun gun arm flailed wildly with the apparently normal one.
Shadowcat phased through a clown and shorted it out. She looked at the boiling water below. ‘This Ferris-D guy is, like, totally twisted.’
‘I know that’ Avalanche said. He raised his hands and shook the stone ground. The robot fell. ‘My power isn’t too effective here, and headaches are harder’.
‘Good for you’ she said. ‘I still have to get you back at school for the exploding trash’.
‘It shook, it exploded. End of story’.
‘Jerk’ she snapped.
A clown brought his fist down on her, she fell backwards and grabbed out, Avalanche grabbed the robot and threw it into the ball pool. There was a hiss and crackled as it hit the boiling pit.
‘Hold on’ he said. he ran to the slide and pointed at it. The concrete cracked and the slide split open. He slid down and stopped himself.
‘Okay Kitty! Drop!’
‘I can’t believe I’m trusting you’ she muttered. She let go and dropped. He caught her. She looked into his eyes. Behind them the door opened and a path rose from the ball pool.
123
Ferris-D chuckled. ‘Plot Twist! Aww...soppy-soppy- SOPPY! This won’t do’.
‘Love’ X said. ‘I can feel it faintly’.
‘Ah, the uses of Empathy’ said Dream, she was reapplying her make up, black lipstick and all. ‘If this is all I have to do for the next hour...well I swear...I’ll SCREAM!’
‘They’re coming’ said Ferris-D. ‘I’ll set this up on my website. Darcy! ?’
Darcy looked up from behind a screen. ‘I’m just changing into my pink outfit’ she said.
‘Feral’ X called. The wolf man appeared again. ‘Get the others, we’re toasting some mutants.’
A ball of fire danced around his fingers. ‘And please, shoo the pair in the hall below’.
Feral growled and darted from the room.
‘So handy’ he sighed.
123
Wolverine sniffed the air. ‘Somethings coming’
Spite sniffed. ‘Well well’ she muttered. ‘An animal on a cruise ship, hardly part of a magicians act’.
Wolverine slashed out at the brown furry beast> It swung its long arms. He dodged backwards and with a well aimed kick sent the animal flying, jaw damaged. Spite took her cue. She shouted a war cry from ancient japan and cartwheeled forwards, her feet landed on his back and there was a crack. She leapt off.
‘Sorry about this’ a voice said. The girl was black and white, those colours only even her skin and eyes. She raised her hands and a half-black half-white wall rose up before them. ‘Can’t have you interfering now can we?’
123
The X-men and Brotherhood converge in one spot. ‘You all right?’ Scott asked.
‘Everyone’s okay’ Storm said. ‘But, this Ferris-D character must be stopped.’
A blonde figure appeared in a nurses outfit. ‘Hi!’ she said. ‘I’m Darcy! Cookies?’ she handed them a plate. Scott looked at it. ‘Uhh...no...’
‘Well time to kill Ferris-D’ Sabine said. Magnetix nodded.
‘Sorry, but my Arcky can’t die. He’s cute’.
‘Okay’ Toad said. ‘There’s a principal here babe move it or lose it’.
‘no’ Darcy said as bright as ever. She punched Toad and he flew across the hall. Storms lightening had no effect and Darcy high kicked her.
‘Time to do this fast’ said Magnetix. ‘There’s a 100% rubber stamp on her ass. So that means...’
She raised her hands as Darcy ran at her from behind, Darcy lifted upwards.
‘Wow...like, golly gosh this is interesting’.
‘How about this?’ Magentix asked. She clapped her hands and Darcy exploded. The mechanical parts clinked to the ground.
‘Man’ Avalanche said. ‘This guy must be a real pervert’.
‘Well, don’t be surprised’ said Dana. She looked at the head the was juddering and repeating Golly Gosh over and over again. ‘The little slut was a total robot...and for the sake of my English blood:’ She changed her voice to a posh snob accent: ‘I say, the little strumpet got here come-upends what? Polo after tea and crumpets anyone?’
‘You scare me’ Kevin muttered. He looked at the door. ‘Time to go boom-boom’ he said. He charged up and hit the door with two blasts. It allowed them in.
123
Wolverine and Spite punched, slashed and kicked the wall. It began to buckle. ‘Together lover?’ she asked.
‘Don’t call me that’ he snarled. They delivered the same powerful kick and the wall shattered. They raced up the stairs and threw the smouldering door frame, past the parts of a robot.
123
Ferris-D was swinging his cane. ‘Well well’ he said. ‘Wolverine and Spite. Not part of my targets though’.
‘You’re Ferris-D!...never mind! Where are our students?’ asked Spite her eyes began to glow.
‘Ah’ Ferris-D said. ‘My employer had to deal with them’. He pointed upwards, the students were all stuck to the ceiling. ‘Care to join them?’
Dream lashed out and sent Logan flying. She grabbed spite, spun her and shoved her back.
X raised his hands and the other two hit the ceiling. ‘Ferris-D...you failed. Well then, I expect a demonstration of what failure gets is in order...’
The door sealed up solidly.
‘Twilight, Amphibious, Blazer!’ X called. ‘Mocking Bird, Slick, N-Freeze!’
The mutants rose from a black spot in the ground. ‘Lets...ahehehe...deal with these pathetic excused for mutants.’
Dream’s right hand shifted into a laser cannon, her other hand became a blade. ‘I need a power boost’ she said. ‘I want Cyclops’ powers before he’s gone’.
‘Give me a minute...’ X sighed. He removed his helmet and floated to the ground.
‘Holy crap...’ whispered Ollie.
‘I don’t believe it’ murmured Scott.
‘Bugger’ Dana said.
Raphael smiled. ‘Surprised?’
‘I should’ve known’ Spite said. ‘Too much power to be good’.
‘Well, you played the part of the troubled teen’ snapped Kevin.
‘You traitor’ snarled Nightcrawler’.
‘Well...’ Raphael sighed. ‘You have no idea who I am, but I might as well make sure...you die that way!’
The door dinted, a huge bulge appeared. ‘Is that him?’ Dream asked.
‘Feral! Attack the intruder if he breaks the door!’
Feral snarled and leapt towards the door. It blew off its hinges and the attacker entered, walking on the metal chunks.
‘Huh?’ Kitty said.
‘What the hell...’ Evan muttered
‘There’s two of you? !’ Dana gaped.
‘He’s Michelangelo Donatello Xander de Marquez’ the new Rae said. ‘My...uhh...evil twin’.
‘long names in your family’ Storm said.
‘Seperated at birth type thing’ Angelo said. ‘Of course I was the one detached from the left and thus...evil. Sadly I developed quite a range of personalities and since all I was, was telepathic my mind began to stretch. I then melded them after a while and decided to take what was mine’
He raised his hand. A flame shot at Rae.
‘Sorry bro, no time to burn up’ he leaned backwards and threw a ball of energy into his brother. The mutants fell from the roof onto the evil ones.
‘I’ll stop him’ Dream said. ‘Time for a taster Rae!’
‘No you don’t!’ snapped Dana. She leapt onto Dream and pinned her. ‘Girls wrestling team, London champ and all star level too!’
Dream laughed and slid from her enemies hands. She stood up behind Dana. ’18 forms of combat, hand-to-hand, and 7 hybrid forms’.
Dana pushed her feet into the air and kicked Dream hard. ‘Those who brag...fall!’
Cyclops looked at Feral, Wolverine extended his claws. ‘Lets play ball animal boy!’
Feral snarled and leapt. Cyclops blasted him against the roof. Wolverine and spite leapt into spinning aerial kicks and knocked hims hard. The three of them advanced. Toad, Spike and Pietro surrounded the super fast Blazer.
‘Let’s see who’s fastest’ Blazer said.
He and Pietro dashed in on each other, bouncing around like blurs. Spike threw the spikes and Blazer skidded to a halt. Toad spat the goo and stunned him.
‘Time to take you jerks down!’ Amphibious snarled. He leapt at Blob and Kurt. Kurt grabbed Blob and BAMF-ed them to safety.
‘Body slam time’ Kurt said as they BAMF-ed up top. Amphibious’s long tongue lashed out but Blob landed on the frog man.
Kitty, Avalanche and Shudder circled N-Freeze. ‘The mocking bird mocks!’ the blonde girl snapped. She floated into the air and screamed. Kitty phased through the floor away from the danger.
‘Shake to break’ Shudder said. the sonic waves and vibration pulses hit each other. Kitty dropped onto Mocking bird. ‘Lance’ she said. ‘Concrete roof’. Lance raised his hands and summoned his powers.
N-Freeze was facing Smoulder and Jean. ‘Get outta my why’ she snapped. Her blue skin shone with ice crystals. She pointed her hands at the same time as the other girls. The acid met with the ice. ‘Time for a trip’ said Jean. The metal tile slid from under N-freeze.
Slick and Twilight were facing off against Storm, Kevin and Ollie. ‘Right mates’ Ollie said. ‘Lets burn!’
He pointed his hands and the flame thrower on his wrist fired a monster of flame. Slick slid away but Storm called on a rain cloud to wet him. Twilight put up the black and white shield, she was the girl who had stopped Wolverine and Spite earlier. ‘I’m the mistress of shadows, light and reflections, you can’t win!’
‘I beg to differ’ Kevin said. Rogue came up behind Twilight and grabbed her face.
Twilight screamed and pushed Rogue away. Slick slid around Kevin. ‘This is the big squeeze’ Twilight said. ‘Slick can’t talk, but he sure as heck can shift around.’
‘And I have a few shocking -hint, hint- powers’
The electric shock knocked away Slick. He splattered against the walls but began to reform.
Dream laughed. ‘I always wanted to try magnetic powers’ she said. She pulled off her gloves. ‘Lets see it.’
Her palm glowed and she grabbed Magnetix’s face. A silver light shone out. Magentix pulled away a hand print on her face. ‘I am so going to bend you’ she said. She raised her hands and the metal floor through Dream. Dream laughed. ‘Your first trick...magnetising a person’.
She pointed and the light surrounded Scott. He was lifted up and stuck to the ceiling.
Rogue pointed and a blast of darkness hit Dream. ‘Well let’s take your power now!’
Magnetix and Rogue advanced on her. She laughed again and her body jutted out with spikes. ‘Lets go’
Rae and Angelo circled, floating in the air. ‘The fact the wrote Geminus Improbus on my tattoo at birth hinted you were the favorite!’ Angelo said. ‘Twin: Evil! And the psyche evaluation! Puh-lease!’
‘You are totally paranoid!’
A bar bounced off his shield. He pointed and the lance of power nearly hit Angelo. ‘Remember how all I could do was read and control thoughts? Well we may share Empathy, but my powers...are all mine!’
He pointed and a flame began to wear at Rae’s shield.
‘Rodney’s power, right?’ he said. ‘Shields, teleportation, advanced abilities and senses, pyrokinesis, telekinesis, your telepathy and Empathy, the super I.Q and, naturally, the demons.’
‘Ah yes...my demons. But of course I need their handler. Hellcat!’
The bubble spiralled around in the ground. Three flaming dogs leapt out on leashes. The girl was deadly her eyes were red, she was white furred and had three clawed fingers on each hand not including the painted thumbs. Wearing red gloves shorts and sleeveless outfit she slid along the ground, her white tail flicking from side to side.
Kurt saw her. ‘Wow’ he said. She spat a ball of fire at Rae. He deflected it.
‘Help here!’
Nightcrawler BAMF-ed from the fighting blob and Amphibious. ‘Time to be kicked cat’ he said. she smiled with her vicious fangs and with a PAFF she was gone, the flames and brimstone lingered. She appeared and grabbed him. They flew into a tangle.
‘Mon deu!’ she said. ‘You are an effective fighter Germany!’
‘Zee name is Kurt!’ he said. ‘But you can call m Nightcrawler!’
She slashed out. He dodged. ‘I ‘ave ze ‘ips lips and attitude’ she smirked. She spat more flame. They began PAFF-ing and BAMF-ing across the room.
Dream pushed Magnetix back and leapt backwards. She moved forward with her bare hands. ‘Your powers are mine!’ she snarled.
She and Rogue approached. There was a flash of light and they were surrounded by a strange silver aura. They were pushing forwards, trying to get close to each other to drain the other.
Magnetix tried to approach, she was thrown back. ‘Wow! That was repulsing Magnetix!’
‘Mackenzie!’ Rae said. He pointed and she flew away from Rogue. ‘Get her!’ he prompted. He returned to swearing at his brother in various languages. The subdued mutants were laid out. Dream was still fighting with Rogue and Dana while Feral was pinned by Spite and Wolverine.
The brothers were swirling around in a shield of telekinetic force cursing in numerous languages.
‘How many languages do they know?’ pondered Dana
’23 if you don’t include Irish and English’ Rae said.
‘I can’t break it’ said Scott. ‘Nothing will’.
Dream high kicked Dana. ‘You’ll never take us!’
Storm raised her hands. ‘Wrong child’ she said. the lightening blasted Dream over.
‘Dream!’ shouted Angelo. He brought his hands into his chest and then pushed them out. The force knocked everyone back. He laughed. ‘Omega’s! Retreat!’
*I think not, you’re too much of a danger* Professor X said as his mental conscience formed a vision of himself. He looked at Feral. *Apprehend him! Before he can escape Feral*
Feral looked blankly there was lightening crawling around his head.
‘No!’ snapped X. ‘You’ve overloaded him! His feeble mind is being twisted!’
The beast leapt at Rae. Angelo raised his hand and vaporised the creature in a blast of flame. The bones fell to the ground.
‘So much for sensible adults’ he sighed. ‘If anyone kills you Rae’ he said. ‘It will be me’.
He raised his hand and the group vanished into the swirling bubble.
‘So’ Scott said. ‘How are you alive?’
‘Optic illusion’ replied Rae. ‘When I sensed my insane brother, who brought my last school crashing down, was in town I realised the safest place for you was where I wasn’t. I made you think I had died with a little mind trick and...well then I went hunting him’.
‘So you spoke to me...why?’ asked Dana.
‘I could trust you...its 6 in the morning...pizza anyone?’
*Where’s Ferris-D* the professor asked.
Jean put her hands to her head. ‘Here’ she said. She pointed to the rubble.
Blob lifted it and threw it aside.
Ferris-D was holding the video camera in his quivering hands. ‘Mummy’
‘Yuck!’ Dana said. ‘I hope that puddle is water from a burst pipe’.
‘Well www-dot-murderworld is offline’ Rae said. He tossed Ferris-D into a seat. Pietro grabbed some rope.
‘Sit tight’ he said. he sped around Ferris-D and tied him up.
Dana tapped on the small camera. ‘Man, this guy ain’t a wiz at computers’ she said.
‘He video taped his files on us?’ Scott said in disbelief.
‘And our fight’ pointed Blob.
‘hey’ Kurt said. Zee fuzzy dude is looking sehr gutt’.
Rae took out the disk. He shattered it in his hands. ‘Just wait until the police get the famous Ferris-D’.
‘And his perve-bot’ said Dana. She dug her heeled boot into his chest and he shot backwards into the wall. She pointed and the wheels glowed. ‘That’ll hold yuh tight’.
The boat rocked as an explosion detonated. ‘What the hell was that! ?’ croaked Rogue. Kevin was supporting her, her encounter with Dream had severely drained her. And she was turning silver already.
Spite looked to one of the screens, it was flashing red. ‘Looks like that cat girl is overheating the engines’. A flame burst from the ground. ‘Corr...’ murmured Pyro.
‘No time little arsonist’ Sabine said. She pulled him back as the flame burst upwards. ‘Jean probe Ferris-D’ Scott said.
Jean put her hands to his head and moments later opened her eyes.
‘There’s a sub down a tube. Big enough for everyone, even Ferris-D’.
‘Do we have to take him?’ groaned Evan.
‘Yes’ Jean said. She pulled the assassin off the wall telekinetically and tapped a secret button. ‘Come on!’ she shouted.
‘Go!’ Spite said. She shivered and looked up. ‘LOGAN!’ she shrieked. She leapt and pushed him out of the way of the falling girder. Logan looked at her. She was unconscious, a piece of falling concrete had hit her.
‘Is she okay?’ Storm called over the sound of buckling metal.
‘She’s alive’ Logan said. ‘Let go’ he lifted her up. There was another flash back that he couldn’t comprehend.
‘Damn’ he said.
*Professor where’s the black bird?*
*Nearby, I’ll be able to pick you up on the beach*
Wolverine leapt over the girders and towards the tube with Spite in his arms.
123
The Submerine jetted through the water. The yacht pointed upwards as it sank the thousands of death traps fading away with it. Above it a sleek black and red Jet with an Omega and Alpha on it sped through the sky, stealth technology hiding it slowly.
123
The Blackbird was on the beach, its dark colour darker in the dusk.
‘Why didn’t you find out he had an insane twin bent on destroying anyone who stood in his way?’ asked Kevin.
‘He kept that secret well, a powerful mental and empathic blocking’ The professor smiled. ‘The pain and anguish made it impossible to touch. He wanted to work alone and help us by trying to take his brother out alone’.
‘I see’ Jean said.
‘there is something you should know’ The professor said as they turned to join Rae in the jet. ‘He and his brother were Siamese twins...not to a great extent but...this tied them, on one shoulder is a scar where they were unjoined. They were born strangely, probability was stretched. They shared feelings, and Angelo’s pain slid into Rae. Somewhere along the line he became self-desturctive. You must be there for him when he decides to talk about it.’
‘He’s and X-man’ Scott said. ‘We’ll be there’.
‘Need a lift?’ Storm said. She was talking to the Brotherhood’.
‘Like! Yeah!’ shrieked Loral. ‘I totally have to like, see the inside of the like cool Jet!’
Dana and Kitty slapeed their foreheads at the same time. ‘Work!’ they grunted.
‘You have the day off’ Storm said. ‘But of course you’ll have to say you were suffering a flu’.
‘No Murry? !’ Dana said. ‘I can live without that pompous ass in my way!’
‘Totally’ agreed Kitty. They climbed onto the jet.
‘hey Kitty’ Lance said as he pulled off his helmet. ‘Good work in the funhouse’.
She nodded. ‘You weren’t too bad yourself’.
The hatch closed and the jet streaked off.
X watched with his telepathic eyes. ‘Well, well, well, dearest brother has friends, so do I and Magneto may be a powerful foe you defeated. But I am not without my inteleect...soon...soon I will get even, everyone lives with a foot in the shadow...
THE END
I created Dana, Loral, Sabine, Kevin and X and the Omega’s. I’ll let ya use em if you want but only if you ask nicely...yeah like that’ll happen. I have another fic in work if this gets a comment. I have a fragile psyche so don’t damage it with too many insults. If you want something added to my next fic send me an email. Use them without my permission and I’ll hunt you down, rip off your legs, beat you to death with them and bury you in a shallow and economical grave.
