Sorrow After Sins:
Part 8
"Don't cross what you can't handle!"
"Absolutely not!" shouted Professor Xavier as he, his X-Men and the Brotherhood occupied the underground hanger.
"This isn't up for debate, Charles." Magneto snapped.
"You haven't tested your healing factor yet Creed." Jean stated.
"Ya want me ta test my Healin' Factor fine!" Sabretooth snarled as he took a hold of Wolverine's wrist, who automatically popped his claws even though he hadn't been paying attention to Sabretooth and Jeans squabble. Sabretooth ran his arm along the tip of the claws.
"The hell?" Wolverine questioned Creed.
"There! See?" Sabretooth snarled as the blood stopped flowing and the skin healed itself.
Jean frowned as the wound healed.
"Ja? Try a bullet." Nightcrawler shot back, he didn't want them to go.
"The X-Men don't participate in Massacrer's." Cyclops snapped at Wolverine who slid his claws back in.
"Tell that to the Cajun!" Sabretooth countered for the runt.
Remy glared at the big blond psychopath. "Dat be in de past mon ami!" Remy argued "This be here and de now."
"Look Chuck. We are gonna ta bust up the big bad Genoshian mutant slave ring. Ya either gonna let us take the Black bird, or we gonna high jack a commercial air liner." Wolverine growled.
"How many people fly now a day? hundred and something?" Sabretooth questioned no one and everyone. "That's just gonna add to the toll, cue-ball."
Charles hung his head as the Brotherhood and three X-Men pushed by their enemies and team mates.
"We just going to let them go?" Cyclopes asked the professor.
"We don't have much of a choice, they'll go one way or the other." Xavier answered as the Blackbird started up.
***
The Blackbird held many ooo's and awe's as the Brotherhood examined the interior and questioned it's capabilities. Nightcrawler was more than willing to answer them all.
Wolverine checked behind him at the silent and still form of Sabretooth, already dressed in his X-Men uniform. Creed's blank stare and still posture lead Wolverine to believe that Creed was terrified.
Magneto and Mystique looked to Sabretooth, mixed emotions played across their faces, fear and anger were the main ones.
"How long have you been an X-Men Creed?" Avalanche finally asked.
Sabretooth didn't answer, he just stared out the window.
Nightcrawler cleared his throat tossing a curious glance to Wolverine. Who only shrugged in response.
"About two months." Nightcrawler answered for Creed.
"How long have you been living at the school Sabretooth?" The Scarlet Witch asked.
Again Sabretooth didn't move or say a word.
"Maybe he's dead.." Pyro whispered to Toad.
Toad gave Young Pyro. a hard glare before looking away.
"Give or take a couple of years." Wolverine grunted.
Sabretooth finally moved. Tilting his head, his blond hair falling to one side he looked at the back of the runts head. After a moment he went back to looking out the window and the water below. The light chatter among the passengers about this and that continued around him.
Looking over his shoulder, Quicksilver frowned as he counted the various wooden crates marked : This side up , DANGER, TNT, and others hidden by the front few. Quicksilver squinted counting them. "Who loaded the boxes?"
"I did." Sabretooth muttered his voice flat and cold.
"Isn't that over kill?" Quicksilver asked motioning to the crates in the back.
Sabretooth didn't turn around, he saw Quicksilver's reflection in the window. "Boy, nothing, n' I mean nothing we gonna be doing will be over kill. When it comes to Genosha, only an atomic bomb will suffice. For now, we improvise." Sabretooth stated, his voice in a near snarl.
"Ya.. but.. 7 crates?" Quicksilver gasped.
"The X-Men ain't as stocked as other organizations. Now shut yer pie hole." Sabretooth snapped.
Wolverine frowned as he turned off his controls giving Nightcrawler the full responsibility of pilot. Standing up, he strolled down the aisle towards the back. *Snikt Snikt.* Wolverine popped his claws and started to open the various crates.
"Listen up! I'm only going to say this once."
Everyone but Nightcrawler, who was piloting the jet, and Sabretooth, turned around and paid attention to the short Canadian man.
"Each one o' ya's gonna put on these." Wolverine snarled kicking a crate from the back to the front. The box labeled 'This side up' skidded down the aisle till it stopped after bumping into the back of The Scarlets Witch's seat. The impact caused Wanda to jump and a black Kevlar uniform to bounce out of the crate.
"Put these belts over top your uniform, if you need help, I'll show you." Wolverine snarled kicking another 'This side up' crate by the first.
"Each will get one sniper rifle, one sidearm and those who can handle it, a Uzi." Wolverine stated as he moved two 'DANGER' and one 'Do Not Bump' crate, "Their already loaded." Wolverine warned.
Various heads nodded in acknowledgment.
"You will also have 2 knives. A throwing knife on your wrist, A hunting knife on your belt." Wolverine stated kicking another 'Danger' crate. "Along with those, each person will carry roughly three pounds of C-4, a timer, detonator wire, 10 Grenades and night vision goggles." Wolverine said with a smirk.
"Hey.. uh.. what if we get shot?" Toad piped up from the middle row.
"Don't. You're a walking explosive, if you do get hit." Wolverine gave his most fieriest smile. "Make sure your surrounded by the bad guys."
Toad gulped in reply.
"Use your powers too! These are mere humans, they'll fire at ya, but what good is that if say... Magneto turned the metal bullets against them? Avalanche caused an earth quake?
Sabretooth to take them full in the gut and still keep charging? Not a thing. Use your best assets, your powers." Mystique said seriously.
"Oh, and one more thing..don.." Wolverine started but was cut off.
".. KILL THEM" Sabretooth snarled.
Rolling his eyes Wolverine asked, "Any questions?" as he handed out the uniforms.
"Gonna need teams n' stuff" Sabretooth grunted. He had finally moved from his seat.
"I'll get to that, Creed." Wolverine nodded.
Sabretooth forced a smile onto his face.
"Alright, Creed and Me will be diversion, Nightcrawler and Toad, I want both of yous on ceilings, exits, Magneto two to three per team." Wolverine said handing the floor to the man who normally was refereed to as a villain.
"Quicksilver, Pyro. Your with me. Scarlet Witch, Avalanche, Your with Mystique. - Raven, take shape of authority and parade your two as prisoners." Magneto ordered.
Mystique nodded.
"Suit up!" Sabretooth snapped passing out the goodies.
The black bird landed safely in a swamp. Large weeping willow trees hid the jet from view of the nearby facilities. Disembarking the air craft first was Magneto, who looked upon Genosha with distaste. The rest of the Brotherhood followed.
Toad's tongue shot out as he caught several blood sucking insects.
"I thought they slept at night." Mystique grumbled as she slapped her neck.
Each person wore tight black uniforms with padded armor in sports deemed as venerable.
Two belts cris crossed their upper torso, one for grenades, one for any picked up weapons. Sabretooth, Wolverine and Mystique carried Uzi's. Each knife handle was visible, as were the guns Zippered compartments on the uniform held the smaller ammo, wire and each one wore a wrist watch in sync with the others, right down to the second.
Magneto took his team west, entering with the air port.
Mystique to the east, entering with the common guards and prisoners.
Toad and Nightcrawler took the North, the tool shed entrance.
Sabretooth and Wolverine were last to get off the blackbird, they headed for the shipping docks.
Sabretooth slunk around the first warehouse to the second. He sniffed at the air, blood, death, tin, weapons. He took stalk of those scents as he moved to the next buildings side.
Wolverine frowned when he saw Sabretooth peeking around the building calculating the distance between them and the main complex. It was right there that he had found the terrified dying Kitty.
Sabretooth turned around and motioned for Wolverine to follow. They ran across the compound, the night shadows covering them.
Sabretooth grabbed a hold of a metal bar as he slid silently into a trap door.
Wolverine followed when they both landed and looked down the empty dim corridor.
Wolverine tapped Sabretooth's shoulder, in question.
Sabretooth gave a wary smile back as he pointed to the pile of black bags that gave a distant order, it wasn't garbage.
Wolverine frowned getting the picture. Somehow Kitty had managed to climb over the body bags to the small black door.
Sabretooth lead the way the best he could from the haunting memories he still carried.
********
Mystique disguised as a male Genosha guard walked behind two shackled and chained mutants with guns to their backs. They entered what the real Genoshian guard called the 'pleasure pens'. The sound of a whip was nothing compared to the stench of rotting sewage and flesh. Mystique didn't even want to know what was going on down here, as she passed a couple of guards Mystique decided to let Sabretooth handle the basement.
One Genoshian Guard strolled up to her, his eyes blazing fury. "We don't have room down here!" He snapped flaying his arms around forcibly.
"I was told to bring them here. Where the hell else would they go?" Mystique snapped back.
"Follow me." The other man ordered as he poked a gun into The Scarlets Witches side.
Mystique gave the red head a warning glare not to do anything yet.
*****
Magneto stretched out his hand, manipulating the earths magnetic fields, he scrambled the electronics within the helicopters and planes rendering all but one small jet useless.
Quicksilver scouted ahead, he ran back and forth, until Magneto and the rest of the team entered the long tunneled complex.
Magneto strolled casually, his magnetic field taking out the cameras.
Coming across two doors they turned left towards taking the marked door, 'Privet'.
******
Toad and Nightcrawler silently took out several guards as they made their way in through the maintenance shed. They passed by what looked like rusty unused gardening objects.
Toad paused as he looked closer at the objects. There was dried blood on them, a spade hanging up had fresh blood still dripping on it. Shuddering involuntary he continued on after Nightcrawler.
They followed the dark corridors for nearly half an hour when the sound of a metallic whip hitting flesh came from ahead, as did bright blue light. Both taking to the ceiling, stayed still as they watched curiously.
******
The Genosha Guard lead Mystique to the normal prisoner pens in the east wing.
Mystique nodded to the Scarlet Witch and Avalanche. Both of them shook off their decoy shackles and chains. Mystique shifted into her natural form.
The Genoshian guard didn't know what hit him as his throat was slit open by a blue woman in a black uniform.
*****
Magneto entered a long hall way filled with cells on each side. Mutants, looking rather healthy started to cheer and beg for release of their confinement.
"Scout a head." Magneto ordered Quicksilver.
"Open the locks." Magneto then ordered Pyro.
Quicksilver ran ahead then back. "Commanding officers are ahead," the boy stated.
"Good. Pyro., show these people to the airport. Quicksilver, your with me." Magneto ordered as they strolled towards the unknowing enemy.
*********
Toad and Nightcrawler exposed themselves as the blue light faded and the injured mutant was semi-freed.
Unable to keep quiet any longer, they used their guns.
******
Sabretooth froze as he entered a hallway. Wolverine walked ahead to find themselves in some sort of very large room with four exit doors.
The scent of blood, sex and death came from all three doors, including the one they just came from.
"I don't recognize this Runt. Must of taken a wrong turn." Sabretooth grunted looking at the room for any clues or hints.
Wolverine frowned. "There wasn't any other doors on our way here."
"Must of been something hidden." Sabretooth frowned he couldn't recall this place what so ever.
Both of their hypersensitive ears caught the distant sounds of guns firing and grenades exploding from one direction. And cheering shouts of thanks from the other.
"Guess the party's started." Wolverine smirked as he calked his gun.
Sabretooth growled as low voices unaware of what else was going on, started to get closer.
The two jumped vanishing in time as the doors opened.
Eight men strolled into the corridor. They paused as one unhooked a card and swiped it into some sort of lock. The other door opened and the men started in.
Sabretooth whimpered.
The men stopped in their tracks as a cry they knew too well sounded.
"That wasn't.. Kitty was it?" One man asked, a few years older with a goatee.
Sabretooth was breathing hard, his eyes big in fright as he watched them by the door.
Creed pressed further against cool damp cement and closed his eyes.
Wolverine frowned. He recognized the scents, they had been all over Kitty. It wasn't as if they didn't expect to run into them all, but Wolverine now wondered if Sabretooth was ready for what he wanted to do. He look of Sabretooth's face made Logan wonder if he should go ahead alone or turn back with Creed.
"They hauled his body away Mark." A man said. He stood around six feet with about 80 pounds on Creeds current weight. Unfortunately the man speaking to Mark wasn't muscular.
"We sure about that Dave?" Mark asked as the others went threw the door.
"Very." Dave smirked as he waltz past Mark and into the corridor.
Sabretooth clenched his teeth. His gut twisted into a tight knot. He didn't move, the scents filled his nose as did the memories of them. Shaking slightly Sabretooth looked to Wolverine.
Wolverine looked to Sabretooth, motioning his head towards they door they came threw in a silent request to scrub their mission.
"Too bad there hasn't been anyone that could fuck like Kitty." Snickered one other as he strolled away.
"Ya. He could take what ever we dished." Laughed Dave.
"Damn I miss his ass." Mark laughed as they got further down the hall. The door finally shut.
Sabretooth was furious that he let them get to him again. Again, they backed him into a corner and made him whimper without even looking at him. Shaking his head no to Wolverine, Sabretooth jumped down from the ceiling perch, landing with a thud and slight noise from his gear, Wolverine followed.
Sabretooth motioned to the door the Genoshian Guards disappeared threw.
Wolverine nodded.
A female's scream sounded from the door the guards just came through.
Sabretooth knew that look on Wolverine's face too well. "Go." He said to Logan while looking at the control panel Mark had used. "There's blood to be spilt. I intend to make them suffer." Sabretooth snarled kicking down the door the long ago tormentors had passed into.
"Take care Vic." Wolverine said disappearing through the door that harbored screaming females behind.
Sabretooth didn't respond as he ran down the corridor after the men he vowed long ago to kill.
*****
Toad used three of his grenades. The mutant they were torturing was better off dead then rescued. Nightcrawler had teleported them both to safety as the shrapnel took out eight guards and one mutant. Teleporting back to the blood splattered area, Toad cursed. Sparks shot from a control panel they hadn't really noticed till then. The lights dimmed, moving on ward they found themselves in the dark.
"Night vision?" Toad asked the blue furry X-Men.
"Nein Goggles." Nightcrawler said handing a pair of the Night vision goggles to Toad.
Toad put them on and grinned. "Handy."
"Very." Nightcrawler agreed as they continued on in the darkness.
****
Sabretooth growled as he made his way violently down the dark halls. Guards took aim and fired as he made his viscous way towards them.
The 6'6 blood thirsty figure could smell everything. Including the three year old scent of rape, his rape, on some of them. The guards screamed as they tried to flee the unforgiving claws tearing their bodies to pieces and leaving them to die. Those lucky to live long enough, witnessed the death of their comrades as Sabretooth tore into each one with teeth and claws.
Blood splattered the walls as gore followed. With a sloppy splat a clump of intestines hit the wall between two cells. Slowly they slid down the wall. Screams filled the hallway.
Finally all but one were dead. It didn't take as long as Sabretooth would have liked it to, but revenge wasn't always best served long and sweet, just the terror in their faces was enough. They suffered and knew what was happening. All but one.
All but the one he backed up against a wall, the one shooting at him in determination to live. The one who used the crude means to castrate Kitty, to leave Kitty to die in a stinking makeshift morgue, the one who haunted Sabretooth's mind at night.
"Hello Dave." Sabretooth snarled as he took four shots in the gut with a short grunt.
"K..Kit.. Kitty." Dave shuddered in shock, fear and horror as his gun ran out of ammo.
"Ya it's me, your precious Kitty." Sabretooth growled licking the blood from his claws.
He cornered the man against the wall. Stopping only feet away Sabretooth brought his hands up taking a hold of Dave's face. Tilting his head, Sabretooth leaned in.
Dave's eyes that had been squeezed shut, fluttered open as the smooth lips presses against his. Dave's mind whirled, as the kiss continued. It only lasted a few seconds, but it was long enough for Dave to believe he wasn't about to die.
//
Kitty grunted as he thrust his hips against Dave.
The larger man wrapped his beefy arms around his Kitty bringing him closer to himself.
Running a hand down to hold Kitty's firm tight ass, Dave groaned as Kitty bucked against him a second time. Capturing Kitty's mouth again, Dave wiggled a hand between them. He managed to undo his button and fly, slipping out his hard cock from its cotton confines. Moving both hands to Kitty's rear Dave started to roughly squeeze and knead the flesh.
Kitty rested his hands on Dave's shoulder. He bucked against Dave. The other mans cock between them. Kitty moaned into the kiss as Dave started to caress his balls. That was when Kitty realized his pants were around his ankles and Dave was fingering him, talking to him, moving.
"I missed you too Kitty." Dave panted as he pushed back into Kitty's thrust. He was so desperate to be inside Kitty's tight ass, to feel the warmth and the control he had over the blond, to be the soul owner of Kitty, the mutant who he help break. Pushing down on Kitty's hips, he got the blond to kneel.
Kitty looked up as Dave ran the tip of his cock over his lips, pre-cum smearing over them. Kitty went to open his mouth to take in the slab of meat, only to be rebuffed for his willing effort by Dave.
With his fingers twisted into the blonds long hair, Dave pulled Kitty's mouth away from him.
"Don't think about it Kitty, I know about your fangs." Dave warned as he moved
behind Kitty, stepping over a torn limb from one of his comrades, Dave knelt down and pressed his throbbing dick against Kitty's small puckered hole.
Kitty howled as he was penetrated being slammed against the wall he had, had Dave against. The violent thrusts Dave conjured hurt worse than before, memories flooded Kitty's mind as Dave continued his voice a soothing scratch.
"Your all mine Kitty. Mine alone. You belong to me Kitty, you'll stay at my bed side, chained and fucked." Dave gasped as he came hard in Kitty's ass.
Kitty whimpered, his eyes squeezed shut, his claws digging into the concrete wall.
//
Dave moaned with the delight of his imagination running ahead of his actions.
Sabretooth pulled back from his kiss, his eyes widen, his breath coming in short pants.
'where the hell did that come from?' Sabretooth's mind whirled.
Dave, with his arms around his Kitty didn't move.
"Missed you too Kitty." Came the scratch of a voice.
Sabretooth sneered. "I missed you too Dave. But only because I never finished what I started." Sabretooth growled stepping back from the man.
Dave smiled patting his crotch. "Couldn't stay away from what you enjoyed." He leered to his Kitty.
Sabretooth growled, again this man controlled Sabretooth enough that Creed wasn't sure when the lights darkened. Sabretooth's rage not withheld, played across his face and mind. Too soon did the red become all consuming.
Sabretooth roared as his claws came down across Dave's terrified chubby face.
***********
Toad and Nightcrawler heard the screams of men at the end of the very long hall. When they heard Sabretooth's roar, both of them didn't become concerned as they came to the first of the cells.
"Holy shit." Toad gasped at the state of the three hanging in the cell.
Nightcrawler opened the door, stepping in neither of the occupants moved. With a slow hand, Nightcrawler checked the vital signs of the first he came to.
"Their still alive." Nightcrawler stated in shock as he backed out of the cell horrified.
Toad did the only thing he could think of, bringing the nozzle of his gun up, he fired three shots.
Nightcrawler frowned as each of the bodies jerked once from the head wound, but that was it. Not a cry, not a motion, the bodies didn't even slump as life left them.
"Maybe the others are in better shape." Toad said, his face pale.
"Ja." Nightcrawler nodded, his eyes shadowed in shock. Before heading to the next cell, Nightcrawler gave the dead their last rites. Moving on, Nightcrawler put his hand on Toad's gun nozzle.
Curiously Toad lowered it as he watched Nightcrawler enter the cell and started giving the last rites to the prisoners.
Once finished, Nightcrawler nodded and Toad resumed execution quick and painless.
*****
Mystique, The Scarlet Witch and Avalanche had freed the mutants in the 'worker pens' of the second floor.
Wolverine growled out of habit as he came across Mystique's team. The twenty some females following him became wary of the uniform clad mutants.
"Scarlet, take these and what you have there to the plane." Wolverine ordered.
The Scarlet Witch glanced questioning at Mystique.
"Do it." Mystique ordered before turning to sneer at Wolverine.
"About time you showed up."
Wolverine snorted. "Where's everyone else?"
" I haven't seen Toad or Magneto's team. "
"Caught Toad's scent below." Wolverine grunted looking down the hall. "Seen a way to the third floor?"
"Not even a sealed one." Mystique frowned.
"Must be a different way. Anything behind you?" Wolverine asked the blue shape shifter.
"No, they've been dealt with." Mystique replied strolling past the short Canadian.
"There's a door I haven't checked out yet." Wolverine informed her as he followed.
"Where's Sabretooth?" Avalanche asked taking up the rear.
"Left him to handle some people he knows." Wolverine stated casually.
"Alone?" Mystique slowed her pace.
"Toad and Nightcrawler are down there too." Wolverine said opening a door and walking down stairs he had previously ascended.
Avalanche finished rigging the second floor with explosives.
*********
Magneto entered the third floor only to find a rather pleasant official atmosphere. "Seek and Destroy." Magneto ordered Quicksilver who ran off in a blur.
Magneto slipped on the green goggles as the lights faded to black. He then strolled down the hallway setting up and wiring C4.
Using the second set of doors, Magneto and Quicksilver exited the third floor, going back down to the first floor.
**
Wolverine lead Mystique's team down the hallway, past the female 'pens' he had liberated then to the still yet to be explored door.
Avalanche rigged the plastic explosives as he followed.
Upon walking down the darkened hallway, the group came upon a stairwell.
Magneto and Quicksilver both paused a top the landing as Wolverine paused at the bottom.
"Anything above?" Wolverine asked.
"Set explosives, office space, no mutants." Magneto stated starting towards them.
Wolverine nodded as he turned around sending Mystique and Avalanche, down to the first floor. All now wore the Night vision goggles.
****
Sabretooth riddled the occupants in the first eight cells full with bullet holes. He was semi- enjoying himself until he came to his cell. His scent still linger, although over powered by the lone occupant. She looked maybe 15, big black eyes and long black hair, her light brown complexion and tattered clothing made her look much younger. Too young for a place like this, she didn't seem as used as the rest. Tearing open the cell door, Sabretooth strolled in.
Sasha gasped as a huge man covered in gore from head to toe used his bare hands to rip the cell door off its hinges. He entered the small cell only to stop in front of her.
Sabretooth frowned at her. The cell was littered with human waste, smelled worse than a sewer as mold, sex and sour body order lined it. The cell could barley fit five men, yet he recalled seven had entered one time. Unlocking the girls bindings with Dave's stolen key.
Sabretooth helped the young frail down off the wall, where the young red head had once been long ago.
"How long you been here?" Sabretooth asked helping her out of the cell.
"A week." The girl said.
"What's your name?" He asked turning around to look back at the cell that had been his hellish home for so long.
"Sasha Blair." The girl said looking at the man. "Your not going to hurt me are you mister?"
"Naw, here to get you and others out." Sabretooth replied tossing a grenade into the cell, they moved on to the next one as the explosion disturbed everything, sending shrapnel, cement and waste out into the hall, creating a strong foul odor to drift along the hallway.
Sasha didn't look away as the man shot up a few mutants hardly alive. She did notice he had made it quick and painless, but messy.
Sabretooth managed to get a second victim, a male with big eyes and a broken spirt, but still had enough will to keep living.
The trio met Toad and Nightcrawler.
"Mein Freund, that all alive down here?" Nightcrawler asked Sabretooth.
"Only ones that still had their heads together." Sabretooth replied as he turned around heading the way he came.
Toad and Nightcrawler followed with Sasha and the mute male at their heals. They all noticed the mess Sabretooth made of the full cells and one empty one.
"Did ya notice a door anywhere?" Sabretooth finally grunted as he slowed looking into his demolished cell.
"Ja, there's a freshly cemented hole that could have been a door." Nightcrawler replied.
Sabretooth smirked. "I knew it."
Toad looked questioningly at Nightcrawler. A shrug was Toads silent reply.
**
Sasha threw up at the sight, the mute male held the girl mostly for his own weak kneed stability. Toad groaned and kept walking.
Nightcrawler gasped looking at the disturbing litter, the torn naked body of a large, chubby man lay sprawled on the floor, various pieces of the body had been ripped off, claw marks sheared the skin and meat, bloody bubbles gurgled from the mans torn out throat. Nightcrawler raised his gun.
"Don't fuzzy. Let him bleed to death." Sabretooth's cold voice demanded.
The group looked to Sabretooth, the icy glare he was giving the dying man was nothing less then cold hatred.
Nightcrawler lowered his head, he thought Sabretooth had changed.
Toad placed a gob of plastic explosive by the door. Hooking a wire into it, he stuck a clock into it and rigged the explosives. Leaving the underground corridor, Toad hopped to catch up with the rest.
********
Quicksilver finished rigging the third and second floor explosives to the ones in the stairwell before meeting with Toad. Wiring the first floor with the stairwell. Quicksilver gave thumbs up to Magneto.
The group of ten strolled down the last corridor. Quicksilver wiring it as Toad placed the explosives.
Sabretooth stopped as he came to a fork in the corridor. One he knew lead to the air port, the other he didn't know.
"Quicksilver, bring Sasha and her friend to the plane, that way." Sabretooth ordered pointing the way.
Quicksilver nodded and lead the girl and mute male to the awaiting plane.
**********
On board the Genosha air liner.
"Them backstabbing scoundrel humans shall die!" An angry young man shouted.
"And they will." Came The Scarlet's Witches calm reply.
"How do you know?" A black woman demanded from the red head.
"Magneto will not let people like this live, nor will Sabretooth." The Scarlet Witch explained as Quicksilver and his two charges boarded the air craft.
"The explosives are rigged. Wait for Wolverine's signal." Quicksilver said seating himself near Pyro.
The Scarlet Witch nodded reply. "Pietro this is Cortez and ...." Wanda paused looking to the black woman who hadn't said her name yet.
"Frenzy." The black woman, Frenzy said.
They were the only ones settled in first class, the rest was seated in the economy class.
********
Upon opening the door, the group of seven pulled off their Night vision goggles as the light flooded their eyes.
"Room must got it's own generator." Wolverine commented as he and the others blinked away the bright spots fluttering in their eyes.
Once they could see again, they examined the rooms interior.
Nightcrawler stopped dead, his blood running cold.
Sabretooth roared as he ran head first into the fray causing a mass panic and starting a chaotic melee.
Wolverine and Mystique followed Sabretooth's suit as Toad grabbed Nightcrawler, the two took to the ceiling with a BAMF.
Magneto took a more civil approach, and watched his minions and two that very well could be among them, battle.
**
The exercise was to be completed by the fifty trainees. Rex and Mitch over looked the training session in the large gymnasium. Dave, Mark and a handful of others were suppose to stop by later after they 'used' something.
"Allen! Craig! Use your feet!" Mitch hollered at a couple battalion commanders.
"Close up that gap!" Rex yelled towards a squadron of young men.
Mitch didn't give a second glance to the door being opened carefully, until someone yelled. Looking over towards the door Mitch expected to see Dave and Mark, not Kitty barreling in on the red eye express.
"Oh shit!" Mitch gasped before yelling to the trainees, setting everyone into action against the seven mutants.
**
As bullets started to fly, Magneto started to work. Creating a magnetic felid around himself, he flicked his wrist sending most of the bullets towards their human owners.
Wolverine used his claws to slice and dice the humans who dared to get close enough.
Toad and Nightcrawler covered the very rear exit. Using their stealth, they picked off individuals, one by one.
Mystique stayed relatively close to Magneto using the magnetic field to shield herself from the shrapnel her grenades flung about.
Avalanche too was using Magneto's shield as cover. Sending out small seismic tremors into the mass of troops. Avalanche tossed out grenades to finish them off.
Sabretooth had came up behind Rex. The man that trained Kitty so well. Sinking his claws into the mans lower spine. A malevolent smile creased Sabretooth's lips as he knelt down beside the crumpled man on the floor.
"Lookie who came home."
"Christ.. Kit..ty.." Rex gasped between ragged breaths of pain.
"Yeah it's me. Too bad I can't show you how well you trained me." Sabretooth smirked running a bloody claw down Rex's cheek in a near intimate gesture.
"S..show m..e.." Rex gasped reaching out to Kitty.
"Naw. I want you to die." Sabretooth snarled, insanely as pleasure twinkled in his yellow pupil-less eyes.
Nightcrawler looked over the melee, picking out Sabretooth in the chaos the blue mutant hung his head. Sabretooth was crouched over tearinga man apart, limb by limb, then inner organ by inner organ. When Sabretooth finally stood up Nightcrawler could tell the dying man was still alive. Looking away, the blue X-Men started to pick off more fleeing
trainees.
Sabretooth stood up only to feel hands wrap tightly around his hips, roughly clutching his balls. The pain from them being pulled brought Sabretooth to his knees. "Welcome home Kitty." Came the snarl of Mitch's voice. "I've missed playing with you."
Sabretooth roared at the voice. They weren't taking him this time, Mitch wasn't teaching him any more tricks, he had enough. Despite the overwhelming pain that threatened to bring tears to his eyes, Sabretooth brought his elbow back with such force, his arm tingled when it connected to Mitch's jaw bone.
Mitch's grip lessened enough for Sabretooth to stand and whirl around. Over coming the pain, Sabretooth ripped a grenade off his cross belt. Punching Mitch in the face, Sabretooth pulled the pin and shoved the grenade down the mans throat. Leaping away, the grenade exploded, decorating the area with Mitch.
***
The Scarlet Witch jumped when the radio clicked.
"Initiating take off." She announced over the speaker to the planes occupants.
****
Wolverine put his radio away as he finished off the last of the near by moving bodies.
Sabretooth, covered in more gore and blood than anyone else strolled across the carcase littered training room towards the other four.
Toad and Nightcrawler both dropped from the ceiling looking strangely at Sabretooth sniffing at them.
"Missing a few of the other ones." Sabretooth commented as he strolled away.
Magneto and Wolverine exchanged confused glances as they strolled after Sabretooth.
The group froze in their tracks as a metallic 'clunk' sounded from the far side, the lights faded giving way to darkness.
"HALT!" Came a booming voice from the dark as a huge spot light rotated till it landed on the group of six.
"Stay where you are!" The voice boomed again.
Mystique noticed a small illuminated window. "Up there." she pointed out, her voice a whisper.
"Never even seen that." Toad commented as he and the rest looked to the window squinting in the light.
Sabretooth frowned. "What ever ya want you can forget it!" he hollered at them.
"Kitty?" Came the voice.
"STOP CALLING ME THAT!" Sabretooth roared firing his gun into the glass window.
The spot light vanished as did the voice.
Silence and darkness.
Before the six mutants could really move, the door at the other end of the exercise arena opened.
"What type of a welcome mat is eight?" Wolverine growled.
Sabretooth spun around as the other door opened. "How about forty visible?" Sabretooth snorted to Wolverine.
Troops marched in.
"Put your weapons down! Place your hands over your heads!" The voice echoed via a megaphone from the other end of the room.
Sabretooth tossed down his empty riffle.
The Brotherhood looked at him stupidly, until Sabretooth started to reach for the Uzi strapped to his back.
"I don't think so!" Sabretooth hollered to the man with the megaphone. Raising the Uzi, Sabretooth initiated a second firefight.
Magneto created a larger magnetic field around himself and his minions.
The Uzi ripped through the eight at the other end of the compound, tearing a hole in the thick wall.
Wolverine snarled as the first eight died instantly. The outside air whooshed into the training room.
"There's more in this compound than we thought!" Wolverine yelled to the Brotherhood.
"No kidding!" Mystique shot back verbally to Wolverine, while firing a spray of bullets at the oncoming troops.
Sabretooth roared as his Uzi was shot out of his hands, the useless weapon crashed a few meters away. Grabbing the last of his grenade, Sabretooth lobbed them into the troops. With nothing left but knifes, Sabretooth rushed head first into the melee.
Wolverine snarled in near enjoyment as he raked his claws and speared Genoshian troops. The adrenaline rush was incredible, Wolverine embraced his animal side for the first time in a long time, the berserker modes were nothing to what he felt with this. It was no wonder Sabretooth could kill mercilessly and enjoy it without forgetting who or what he killed.
The Brotherhood and Nightcrawler had made notable progress as they headed towards the exit. Magneto used his force field to deflect the bullets, Mystique fired her Uzi as Nightcrawler and Toad did their best giving all they had with projectile weapons.
Avalanche on the other hand had his feet planted and his eyes were rolled back in his head.
Sabretooth and Wolverine both slaughtered without abandon, they didn't notice the earthquake tremors rocking the complex, nor did they notice the roof crumbling above them.
The troops kept flowing in, Sabretooth and Wolverine soon found themselves back to back.
"They weren't kidding. There is a lot of them." Nightcrawler said observing the commotion.
"Their gonna get captured if we don't do something." Mystique pointed out as she quickly reloaded.
"I'm on it." Nightcrawler said as he vanished with a BAMF!
"Oh man. That stuff reeks!" Toad exclaimed waving his hand in front of his face.
BAMF! Nightcrawler appeared beside Sabretooth and Wolverine, gabbing onto the two feral mutants he BAMFed out of the circle before the Genoshian troops could react.
The split second it took Nightcrawler to retrieve Wolverine and Sabretooth, was more then enough time to confuse the troops, have Mystique reload her Uzi and the Brotherhood reach the rear exit.
"FALL BACK!" Magneto ordered as he dropped his shield, the bullets flew towards them.
"NO!" Sabretooth shouted in protest as he jerked out of Nightcrawlers grip trying to head back to the fight.
"There's too many! NOW CREED!" Wolverine ordered following Magneto out of the hole in the wall.
"ACH!" Nightcrawler yelled as pain ripped his side open.
Sabretooth snarled frustrated scooping Nightcrawler up in his arms.
"COME ON! GO GO GO!" Avalanche yelled as he pushed Sabretooth out the door. "It's gonna blow!"
The group of seven ran furiously as the first of the explosives ignited.
"ELF!" Wolverine yelled over the roar of fire, bullets and explosions.
"I got him." Sabretooth snapped as he ran.
Mystique paused to fire her Uzi at their exit. The blast she created ripped through the arena and the pursuing troops. Shape shifting into a bird, she dropped her spent gear and soared ahead of the Brotherhood, ignored by enemy fire.
None of them stopped until they reached the fringe of the swamp that hid the Blackbird.
***********
Sabretooth sprawled out on the Black birds nose. Leaning against the windshield with his arms behind his head Sabretooth watched the fireworks in the distance.
What they themselves didn't damage, the set explosives did. The massive complex was slowly becoming a heap of rubble. The force of the explosions rocked a nearby skyscraper shattering the glass before the structure fell crushing those racing to the fires.
From where they sat, they barely could make out the frantic people trying to get water onto the fires.
"Air port." Nightcrawler pointed out as the heat from the compound ignited a small twin engine plane followed by the rest of the airplanes.
"Gotta love that fuel." Sabretooth smirked watching the five mile high smoke swirl in the air.
Nightcrawler wondered if his actions were worth everything. The inflamed wounds were his more pressing concerns.
"How's your side?" Sabretooth asked casually as he noted watching an emergency aircraft dumped water onto the fiery compound. It's cargo did little to dent the raging fires that now reached across the military compound.
"Ach, it hurts. So does mein leg." Nightcrawler replied.
"Sorry about banging it against a tree." Sabretooth muttered low in case the Brotherhood were listening.
"Nein, been worse off." Nightcrawler replied waving a three fingered hand.
Inside the Blackbird, Wolverine and the Brotherhood discarded their gear then exchanged the black uniforms for their regular clothes.
"What about Sabretooth and that blue fur ball?" Toad asked tying his boot laces up.
"Creed changed before we left the mansion. Nightcrawler won't because of his injury." Wolverine pointed out.
"Will Sabretooth be returning to the Brotherhood?" Magneto spoke up looking out the windshield and the two watching the Genosha government fall.
"Ask him." Wolverine said tugging on his jeans.
A tap on the glass made both Sabretooth and Nightcrawler look over their shoulders. Magneto motioned them to come inside.
"Guess we're leaving." Creed sighed looking back at that glow in the night sky.
"You sorry for what we did today?" Kurt asked as he shifted.
"Naw, wish we did more." Creed confessed.
Kurt sighed in disappointment. Taking a hold of Creed The two disappeared with a BAMF!, then reappeared inside with a second BAMF.
Magneto smiled at the two standing in the center of the cargo hold. "So good of you two to rejoin us."
Sabretooth's lip curled up as he strolled towards the front of the jet. Nightcrawler limped to a center front seat before tenderly sitting down.
Magneto frowned as they both brushed past him.
***
The trip back was not as pleasant as the trip there.
Sabretooth exchanged seats with Toad, so the boy could learn about the Blackbirds capabilities and internal workings.
Reclined back with his socked feet resting on Wolverine's arm rest, Sabretooth mulled over in his mind, just what he was going to do next.
"Bucket head, did ya happen ta bring any o' my stuff with ya?" Sabretooth gruffly asked Magneto.
The Brotherhood paused as one of their own insulted their leader.
A slow drawn out "No" was Magneto's reply.
Sabretooth didn't say a word for a minute longer.
"What exactly did I have there any ways?" he again asked Magneto.
"Clothing, souvenirs that's all." Magneto replied coldly.
Sabretooth nodded. No loss there.
Sabretooth leaned forward, dropping his feet onto the floor. "Did ya ever try and find me?" he muttered low to Toad.
Toad twisted in his seat to talk to Sabretooth. "Yeah we did, staked out a lot of places where you crashed. But Magneto wanted solid proof of your presence." Toad replied.
Sabretooth nodded "Ever phone? Try to contact ..." he asked, his voice trailing off.
"Did a couple of times, but the phone was either busy or out of service. We stopped trying." Toad said pausing with thought, "You ever tried to contact the Brotherhood?" he asked in return.
Sabretooth slowly shook his head no. "You all were dead, as I should have been."
Toad turned around to face Mystique.
The silence only lasted a few more minutes as the Brotherhood started to talk once again.
Mystique finished her conversation with Nightcrawler as Toad started to ask Mystique about getting something high tech as the black bird.
Wolverine caught Creed taking turns staring at Nightcrawler, out side and him. Glancing at Elf, Wolverine noted Nightcrawler was catching where Sabretooth's eyes wandered.
As the jet neared New York, Nightcrawler shifted.
"You were an assignment." Nightcrawler said his voice wispy.
Sabretooth cocked his head towards Nightcrawler. "Hu?"
"Mein Freund, you once asked why we were being so hospital." Nightcrawler said low.
"I..was.. an.. Assignment...." Sabretooth slowly repeated, his eyes shifting from Nightcrawler to Wolverine. "oh." Sabretooth muttered sinking back in his seat, his head lowered his eyes focusing on the floor.
Wolverine looked back to see Sabretooth pick at the seats arm rest.
Nightcrawler caught Wolverine's attention, the two made eye contact before both looked to Sabretooth.
"Does this thing fly at Mach three?" Toad asked.
Wolverine huffed turning his attention back to the green Brotherhood member.
Magneto kept an eye on Sabretooth. The blond and perhaps still fierce man seemed timid and the word broken came to his mind. A broken Sabretooth is a useless Sabretooth. Magneto's conscience pointed out.
The mansion came into the Black Birds view.
*********
As the returning crew exited the Black Bird the Brotherhood paused at the doors.
Magneto turned to the gore covered Sabretooth.
"Sabretooth, are you returning to where you belong?" Magneto snapped.
"I don't belong with the Brotherhood anymore." Sabretooth said, his voice a little softer than normal.
"Then when we meet again it will not be as allies." Magneto stated boldly as he huffed and lead his minions out.
Wolverine followed Magneto's crew, Nightcrawler with Sabretooth's help entered the change room.
*
In the Change Room, Sabretooth and Nightcrawler exchanged their bloodied and torn uniforms for civilian clothing.
The actions of the night played heavily on Kurt's mind.
"Did ya really mean I was an assignment?" Creed asked, his voice light but carried pained emotion as he stood tugging off his black uniform.
"Ja. It started that way." Kurt replied honestly, fighting with his wound and top.
"Would ya have otherwise?" Creed asked, his yellow eyes turning away from his zippers to Nightcrawler.
"Nein." Kurt muttered with a sigh as his uniform finally flopped to the ground.
Creed frowned but didn't say another word as he slowly walked away to the showers.
Kurt saw the hurt in the other mans features, as well as hear it in his voice. He didn't stay to shower, his bullet wound hurt and he needed to see Hank. With a BAMF, Kurt left Creed alone.
*
That morning, Sabretooth had realized that he didn't belong with the X-Men either.
Entering the posh office, Creed waited for Pinky to finish talking with the cue ball. When she turned to leave she smiled up at the big blond and quietly left.
"I'm headin' out. " Creed said once they were alone.
"Where are you going?" Xavier asked curiously.
"Gonna get my head together. Stuff I need to figure out, things I promised myself I'd do." Creed admitted.
"Will you be returning?" Xavier questioned, the pang of loss evident.
"No."
"Bobby will deliver luggage to your room then." Xavier said shuffling papers on his desk.
"Just a duffle bag. I travel light." Creed requested as he turned his back to the door.
"You will be missed." Xavier said, knowing anything he'd say wouldn't change Creed's mind.
"No I won't." Creed muttered leaving the office.
Pinky strolled up to Mister Creed once he left Xavier's office.
"Mister Creed, you going away?" She asked shyly.
Creed stopped and turned to the voice. The young teen who looked up at him had the look of distress. "Yeah, I'm leaving."
Pinky bit her bottom lip lightly. "Can I come?"
Creed sighed as he knelt down. "Why do ya want to travel with a murderer?"
She sighed n' hung her head. "Your not."
Creed allowed himself a smile, he forgotten what innocence was like. "You don't want to leave here do you?"
"Yes." Pinky said looking at her feet.
Creed did something he didn't even think he could do. Putting his arms around the girl he brought her against him.
"They're here ta help you. Running away from yer problems will only gain you more misery then ya had before. Trust me girlie, it's not worth it. They'll keep ya safe, n' if anyone stands in your way or tries to knock you down, push back and show them what your made of."
"But.. I.."
"Your better than everyone else, your stronger, smarter and more powerful. Remember that and life will treat you fairly, forget it. And you'll end up under a shoe."
Pinky wrapped her small arms around Mister Creeds neck. "Thanks Mister Creed."
Creed patted the girls back then stood up. "You'll do fine. And if you ever think about leaving here, look for the Brotherhood." He smirked then walked away.
Pinky tilted her head curiously as she watched her favorite teachers butt turn a corner. "I'll miss you too..." she whispered before heading to class.
*
Jean stood before the stove as she prepared dinner.
"What smells so good?" Creed asked as he popped his head into the kitchen.
"Chicken, rice and stir fried vegetables." Jean replied not turning around.
"I could smell it down the hall, can I try a bite?" Creed asked standing near the stove looking at the food.
Jean smiled as she dipped her fork into the stir fry. She blew on the green pepper in an attempt to cool it before offering it to Creed.
Creed didn't grab the fork as he slid the garden fresh veggie off the utensil.
Jean smiled at Creed who savored the hot flavor.
"Been along time since I ate something so good." Creed commented.
"If you stay longer you could eat to your hearts content." Jean winked as she started to stir the vegetables again.
"Tempting offer Red. But I can't stay." Creed said turning to go.
"Door is always open Creed." Jean called as the kitchen door swung shut.
Scott narrowed his covered eyes at the man walking towards him. Ducking into the kitchen he saw his woman.
"Don't worry Scott, I'm fine." Jean said sensing her lovers mood.
"Jean! He's a psycho, how can I not be worried about you?"
"Scott, let it be. I've been in his mind. He is harmless." Jean attempted to soothe as she turned from the meal.
"Yeah right, you know what he's like. Ask Wolverine about all the times they fought. Sabretooth will never change Jean! NEVER!" Scott shouted.
"Your over reacting Scott. He has changed, there is no doubting that. I seriously believe his new temperament is permanent, Scott. Accept it." Jean calmly said her loving face a mix of anguish.
"I will never accept that monster being apart of the X-Men or apart of any team. He is dangerous." Scott stated firmly.
"You won't have to. Creed decided to leave." Jean sighed going back to the meal at hand.
A triumphant smile crossed Scott's face.
**
Creed poked his head into the infirmary. Hank and Kurt were just finishing up.
"How's fuzzy?" Creed asked standing at the doorway.
"Good as new." Hank smiled as he turned to see Creed standing where Logan had been only minutes before.
"Long as I keep my feet on the floor and out of the Danger Room for a month" Kurt sulked as he took slowly got down off the table.
"And plenty of bed rest." Hank said as a reminder.
Creed smiled as Kurt struggled with crutches. "Just remember the TV is in the Runts room now."
Kurt and Hank laughed.
"Creed you mind if I check up on you before you go?" Hank requested.
Creed frowned.
"Go on Mein Freund." Kurt smiled leaving the infirmary.
Creed sighed as Hank started the check up with the 'Breath in, breath out.' The blood pressure then .. the prodding.
"Get the hell away from me!" Came the roar as Creed protested against Beast and his shinny instruments.
"You have healed remarkably, Creed." Beast stated as he once again tried to probe Creed.
"It's called a healing factor. I'm better. SEE!" Creed emphasized as he clamped down on the nearest body part.
"OW! Yes now please let go OW! Stop biting me!" Beast demanded taking his arm away from the angered blond man.
"Now ya believe me?" Creed sneered.
"Yes, Yes go." Beast sighed heavily as he wrapped his bitten arm.
Creed smiled quickly doing up his jeans and left.
Hank sighed, then recalled a time when Creed was Kitty too frightened to talk, the hilarious hallucinations and the nightmares.
//////
Kitty whimpered still refusing to talk more than a few words and wincing after each one.
Hank had wandered over to watch the sleeping frail man toss and turn in the restraints.
The weak and fragile man most deemed a monster whined as his mind became caught up
in yet another nightmare. The way Kitty's body winced, the way his claws tried to weakly
retaliate in the restraints, it made Hank sorry the man ever experience such horrors.
Reaching over, Hank increased the morphine to help rest Kitty's tired mind.
It only took a matter of minutes after increasing the morphine for Kitty to wake up.
Hank looked into the drug glazed twin blacks. It took a while for the man laying on the
medical bed with machines attached to and a blanket covering him, to focus.
Kitty smirked at Hank, then smiled, then like a shy child he giggled. It was a sound Hank
never heard from anyone over five years old. A batch of giggles escaped Kitty's mouth
and Hank smiled. The sound was defiantly not fitting for Sabretooth, but did fit the
abused body he was trapped in.
Logan appeared at that time. His questioning features and smiling face soon erupted into
manly laughter.
"Pink." Kitty giggled as his drugged eyes danced over Logan.
The gruff Canadian stopped laughing as he leaned in closer to Creed. "What?"
"Pink." Kitty squeaked out, trying to reach for Logan.
Hank took off the one restraint.
Scarily touching Logan's jacket, Kitty giggled again. "Pink dress."
The three of them laughed. Two because Kitty was hallucinating, and one because Logan
was wearing a pink dress. //////
Hank smiled as he snapped back to reality. "I may miss him after all."
*****
Creed stopped in his tracks as Logan stopped a few feet in front of him. The two didn't know what to do, they both were equals now, able to fight each other, kill and heal. Yet neither one made a defensive or aggressive move towards the other.
Logan took the first step and glanced around. "I won't hurt you Creed. Not again, not like that."
Creeds head tilted to the side as he looked Logan in the eyes. "You promise?"
"I promise." Logan nodded.
Creed walked to the shorter man till he was beside him.
"Runt.."
"Yeah?" Logan looked up.
"Thanks. For everything." Creed said walking towards his room.
"Your welcome Vic. Your welcome." Logan muttered glancing at the beast he could call friend again.
****
Sabretooth stood in his room, hair still damp from his shower. Dressed in loose jeans, a black tee and Logan's blue flannel top hidden underneath Logan's favorite cowskin.
Stuffing clothing into a duffle bag, he bent down and reached his hand into a small hole in the mattress, pulling out the black leather bound book, he snuck it into the bag followed by a thin package of photographs. He groped around his hiding place for his stolen article. Finally pulling out a thick medical folder, the 'Kitty Creed' label flashed before it too was crammed into the bag. Creed packed a couple of blankets and managed to squeeze the pillow into the over sized bag as well.
Zipping the bag closed, Creed looked around his cell like room. He paced to the empty bathroom glancing in, he sighed as everything was gone, except the dirty towels and still wet shower curtain. Strolling to the door with the duffle bag on his shoulder, he flicked off the light and left the dark room.
*******
Kurt's tail twitched as he leaned against the black pick up. The bright sunlight of the mid afternoon didn't seem to warm the monk any. "We really have to do this?" He muttered to the gathered.
"It was his choice." Logan grumbled back, his cigar clamped between his teeth.
The mood was like a gray and heavy fog over the few. The black 4X4 Ford was the center of attention as Xavier, Logan, Kurt, Scott, Hank, Jean and Pinky stood in the parking lot. Rouge, Remy as well as Storm stood closer to the steps.
Some students cluttered around the lobby doors as if afraid to venture near the truck.
The large blond figure sauntering down the steps drew the gatherers attention.
Pinky watched as the big wooden doors opened. She smiled as he smiled at her walking by.
Jean smiled as Victor Creed made his way closer to them. She marveled at his healed body.
Kurt leaned on the Fords hood as he watched his friend stroll across the ash vault to them.
Creed shoved his pack into the storage space behind the passenger seat. Turning around he and Logan faced each other.
"See ya around runt." Creed said holding out his hand.
"Take care Vic." Logan said shaking the hand of a man he still couldn't decide on labeling friend or foe.
Creed walked around the truck to Kurt. "Thanks fuzzy."
Kurt wrapped his arms lightly around Creed. "Write, please Mein Freund." Kurt asked feeling the tension in his friend.
Creed gave a quick hug to Kurt before pulling back. "I will." He said smiling at the blue elf.
Hoping into the pick up, Creed roared the new model to life. He reached for the sunglasses on the dash. Giving a quick wave goodbye, Creed pulled out and down the drive.
Logan watched the black shinny truck roar down the drive. Then it clued in what Creed was wearing. "HEY! I WANT MY JACKET BACK!!!" He shouted after the already disappeared truck.
Laughter and giggles erupted at that.
Xavier frowned as the truck turned onto Greymaulkin lane. Charles had such high hopes for the leaving man, reaching out in his mind, he made one last connection with Creed.
Looking over his charges Xavier smiled. "He won't remember a thing."
Scott Summers nodded as he started into the school.
Kurt remained in the middle of the driveway staring at the spot where the trucks bumper vanished.
"Yo Elf! The games on." Logan hollered.
With a sigh and a Bamf. The X-Mens world returned to normal.
**
Pulling onto the turn pike, Creed wove the Ford in and out of lanes as he tested his new baby's limits. Creed growled as the familiar sensation of light spidery fingers tickled over his mind.
Turning onto the interstate he looked towards the gaped skyline and wondered when that happened. He gunned the engine intending to get a good days travel in. The thought of relaxing on his cabins porch spurring him onwards.
Victor Creed rubbed his hand along the dash. He couldn't recall where the truck was boughten from. But he knew it was his, and that was enough. "Just keep purrn' Kitten."
Creed smiled at the pleasant but vague thoughts of the previous nights celebration at the bar, and the scuffle he got into with the Friends Of Humanity.
"Once again, another of Magneto's plans a success." Victor Creed said smiling as he flipped on the radio. Not caring he left the Brotherhood on bad terms.
You left me like a broken doll
In pieces as I took the fall
For you, you dumb chump
You left me free fallin like space junk
Burnin up in the atmosphere of life

In a big red truck

Not like yesterday
I'm cool, I'm calm, I'm gonna be ok, uh huh
I love myself today
Not like yesterday
Take another look at me now
Cause it's your last look
