Chapter V

"First of all, if nobody's going to die, the threat of being shredded to bits isn't too terrifying." I mutter before glaring at the X-Men and Brotherhood, "Whatever's big enough to get you two working together must be big enough that you need an extra pair of hands or, in this case, guns."

"And knives." I add.

"A...and bombs... grenades... daggers... swords..."
​

I get to my feet and glare at Deadpool ignoring the concerned glances I get from Jean and Cyke.

"Where the hell is this heroic streak coming from? Wasn't it not long ago that you were trying to kill us?!"

I roll my eyes ignoring Deadpool's insane ramblings and turn to Cyclops.

"Your not honestly considering keeping this nutjob around?"

Chapter VII

Before Cyclops can respond, I interject.

"It don't matter what he's considering. One way or another, I'm sticking around. Now, you can either use my help, or not... that is, of course, your choice."
​

 

[Blacklight]

I roll my eyes ignoring Deadpool's insane ramblings and turn to Cyclops.

"Your not honestly considering keeping this nutjob around?"

"Honestly, no. But that doesn't mean we can't use him..."

I looked at Deadpool as he waited patiently for my response. What I was curious about was how he's even alive. From the news coverage I managed to catch when we came home from Rumekistan about the Nexus incident, Deadpool should be dead. The Ultimates killed him. But whatever the matter, keeping him with us may be a good way to keep him in check, and he might prove useful to defeating the Professor...

"Tell me why we should trust you, Wilson. Or do you still go by Azreal?"

​

I silently shift my gaze between my teammates. I let out a breath thats sounded more like a growl.

"Whatever one more body on the pile won't hurt matters."

I head for the exit and push past Deadpool as I leave.

 

[Noon]

I watch the unfolding scene with a wierd sense of detached anxiety. I don't know who the spiderman look-a-like is but he seems to be grade A crazy, but I don't like being left out of the loop. I lean over to Kurt and speak as quietly as I can, sensing this would be a bad time to draw attention.

"Who the **** is this guy?"

"He est a crazy hired mercenary who once tried to slaughter us all by breaking into the mansion, more recently I think he became some kind of super being and tried to destroy New York, but ze Ultimates and a lot of other heroes stopped him."

"OK...so, why is he alive?"

"Um...I am not so sure..."

Chapter VIII

"Holy multiple posts, Batman!" I wail.
​

"As far as trusting me goes, Uni-brow, if I were you, I wouldn't trust me as far as I could throw me. But I've got a gun, and you've got a noticeably absent Professor."

I grin and glance at Magneto, hoping to spur Venom160 to make a post as the Master of Magnetism.

"Would somebody care to fill me in?"

Magneto has remained silent while he observes the arrival of Deadpool and the exchange between him and Angel.

Hmm. Eric thinks to himself. Angel seems to be growing more unstable with each passing minute...

"Would somebody care to fill me in?"

"Charles has suffered a severe breakdown and has gone rogue. He has already attacked the Academy of Tomorrow and I believe that this will be his next target."

Magneto turns his attention to Cyclops.

"Which is even more reason to get our act together and formulate a plan of attack."

"ENOUGH!"

The very air feels like it's vibrating from the power of Magneto's voice.

"I will not tolerate such behavior!"

Magneto turns to Deadpool.

"I suggest you sit down before I show you what can be done with all that metal your carrying."

Chapter III

It's been more than two seconds since Cyclops made his threat. Silly X-Man not knowing how to count.

I leap into one of the now-vacant chairs and decide to spill my guts and tell the absolute truth.

"Well it's all very simple." I say. "I think I had sex with David Hasselhoff (I'm not really sure) and I felt all emasculated so I stole a motorcycle, bought lots of guns and swords and knives, and drove a few hours up here."

I blink a few times.

"So what's got you and the Brotherhood holding hands like it's the Fourth of Ju-ly"
​

​

Chapter XI

I look at the chair I've been sitting in for the past 7 chapters of my tale.
​

"I suppose you think I'm standing up right now, eh?" I ask, taking Magneto by surprise. He almost looks embarrassed.

"Don't worry, old chum." I assure him, "The Alzheimer's had to hit some time." ​

 

[Matt Murdock]

Tracy Witherton went to high school in Maine. She never really bothered anyone in particular as she attended NYU. She was a keep-to-herself-er. Liked the quiet and solitude one could find in the city on a particularly noisy day. Her sweatshirt was purple today, bearing the NYU logo. She ducked down an alleyway, a shortcut she took all the time to get to the humanities building. Of course, it was a familiar scene: a young girl's shoes tapping their way along the pavement, the harrowing sound of a switchblade slipping out of its handle.

"Scream and you're dead." The voice belongs to a man. So too, Tracy assumes, do the hands sliding up her thighs and unbuttoning her pants.

The brick wall is hard behind her back as he thrusts her into it, fumbling with his own belt clumisly. The alleyway is dark... cold... isolated. The knife is at her throat, now. His breath is hot and she can almost feel his heart pounding through his chest. He told her if she screamed she'd be dead. She didn't care.

"Aiiiie!" She calls to nobody in particular as he gropes her figure.

THWIP!

And this is the part where people start to stare.

I sail over their heads easily. Some notice me. Others don't. Why should they? I'm just another costumed hero out and about, going to and fro.

That's what they think at least.

He's in an alleyway. Pretty blond girl in his grasp. I'm assuming she was the one whose shrill voice echoed through the alleyway. She's hot. Nice body.

I let go of the webline and slam hard into the pavement behind the pair. And, then, it dawns on me:

How awkward would it be if they were just a spicy little couple looking for a romp in public? You know... like when people do it in parked cars in empty mall parking lots or in public bathroom stalls?

The gleam of a knife against her throat alleviates all of my fears. Step one: separate crazy guy from his weapon.

THWIP!

The knife lands unceremoniously in a grimey puddle.

"Get out of here." I snarl at the girl from behind my mask as I sit perched on the wall.

"Th-thank you!" She calls.

I don't respond.

Punk rapist takes a fighting stance. Thinks he can take me. Thinks he's a match for the one...

The masked figure leaps into the air from his perch on on the wall and soars through the air with open hands.

The only...

The two men collide abruptly and awkwardly, collapsing to the ground.

The Sensational Spider-Man.

I grab his wrist and snap it easily. He groans and shouts out. His arm slams into my shoulder a couple of times. I barely feel it. My forarm bears down on his throat as I press my weight onto it.

"Do not do this again." It's not a request. It's not a suggestion. "Do not pick up your knife another time, do not touch another person to harm them again. Do it, and I'll break more than your wrist."

The costumed man's voice sounds identical to his heroic antecedent. No one would be able to tell them apart. And it only made him happier.

"Touch anyone, ever again, and I'll hurt you. I'll make you suffer." I pull myself up off of his throat and get to my feet. "These are the new rules of Queens."

Thwip!

I heave him about 15 feet into the air by a loosely-wrapped noose of webbing. It oughta dissolve or weaken enough to send him to the ground before he dies. But, if it doesn't... it doesn't.

"Tell all of your scum friends that I'm in charge now. This is my show. Spider-Man is back." I snarl, glancing up at him before I scrawl a note onto his webbing coccoon.

​

"I suppose you think I'm standing up right now, eh?" I ask, taking Magneto by surprise. He almost looks embarrassed.

"Don't worry, old chum." I assure him,"The Alzheimer's had to hit some time." ​

"Less talking, more doing."

With one outstretched hand I manipulate the metal from Deadpool's chair and the metal from the two flamboyant katanas strapped to his back, twisting them into each other and around his chest, pinning him to the chair.

"For god's sake, this man is a known mutant killer! We have enough problems without letting another enemy into our midst. He tried to kill the X-Men! There is no way we can trust him and right now I don't want to have to watch my back as well as fight Xavier."

With one outstretched hand I manipulate the metal from Deadpool's chair and the metal from the two flamboyant katanas strapped to his back, twisting them into each other and around his chest, pinning him to the chair.​

"For god's sake, this man is a known mutant killer! We have enough problems without letting another enemy into our midst. He tried to kill the X-Men! There is no way we can trust him and right now I don't want to have to watch my back as well as fight Xavier."​

"You won't have to, Polaris. I'll be keeping my eye on him. Personally..."

They're going to think I'm insane, but let them. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and Polaris is right. Xavier is one of the most powerful muatants in the world, so we'll need more manpower, and we need a plan. We need someone to take charge, and it might as well be me. It's time for me to lead...

"Okay, everyone. Time is running out, so I'm going to need every one of you to give me your full cooperation. X-Man, Brotherhood, and Academy alike, we need to all put aside our differences if we're going to stop this madman..."

I stood at the front of the room, looking at everyone. I just hope that what I'm doing is right...

"We still have yet to hear from Bobby and Logan on Muir Island, so I need a team to go and retrieve them, the Blackbird, and Dr. Moira MacTaggert. She knows Xavier better than anyone of us besides Magneto, so she might help us predict his next move. I want you Storm to take Angel, Nightcrawler, Dazzler, Blob and Cannonball to find them, and bring them back here. Understood?"

"Yes, Scott. But how will we get there? We don't have the Jet..."

"Not to worry..." Magneto interrupted.

"I brought my very own transportation system with me. Gateway?"

From behind Magneto, a bright orange portal opened up, and through it came an Australian man, and next to him was Jamie Madrox, the Multiple Man.

"He can create portals, and take you anywhere you want to go. Just say the word..."

I looked at Storm, and she simply shrugged.

"I guess that solves that problem. We'll head to the island right away."

"Good. Jean, I need you to follow Magneto's advice and use Cerebro to track the Professor."

"Right on it."

I turned to Magneto and Emma, hoping that I wouldn't regret what I was about to tell them.

"Magneto and Emma, I need you both, along with Sunspot, Mystique, Multiple Man, Polaris, Pyro and Rogue to guard the mansion and the students should Xavier attack it while we're gone..."

"Gone?" Jean asked me, the worry in her eyes apparent.

"Yes. I'm taking Deadpool, Gambit, Kitty, Havok, Hellion, Toad, and Mimic with me to Russia. We're going to find the last person to have contact with the Professor before he went rogue..."

"You mean..."

"Yes. We're going to find Colossus, and bring him back home."

It's true. Piotr never did tell us why he left, but when exactly Xavier lost his sanity is unclear, so I can only assume he was at least part of the reason Pete headed back to Russia. But right now, we need the X-Men. All of them. Including Colossus, because once an X-Man, always an X-Man.

I turned back to Storm before she prepped her team to head for Muir Island, to bring the plan together full circle.

"Storm after you pick up Wolverine, Iceman, MacTaggert and the X-Jet; you're to rendevous with us in Russia for transport back here so we can all discuss the endgame of this mission."

"Which is?"

"Knock some sense into the Professor..." I stated coldly.

"Now, any objections? This is your one and only chance to tell us..."

"Now, any objections? This is your one and only chance to tell us..."

Angel stands slumped against the door frame leading into the War Room. His jagged breathing has slowly become calm and steady. The numb emptiness that had settled into his chest is starting to turn into a dull burning sensation. As he concentrates on his breathing he takes in Scott's plan.

"Pull it together Warren. The others need you. You can fall apart later."

"Now, any objections? This is your one and only chance to tell us..."

Warren holds his breath straining to hear anything.

"Alright than lets do it. Storm go find War and..."

"Don't bother I'm here."

Angel takes a step in and stops.

"Ready to rock when you are."

Stark nodded and leaned forward between his two teammates.

"He hasn't had sex with Marisa Miller, though."

Clint turned to look at Stark.

"Neither did you," he said "That was just a prostitute called Marisa,"

"Anyway, you told me afterwards that she had a ****,"

Chapter XIII

I bend the swords off of my body and stand up in front of the group. Cyclops realizes only now how much taller than most of them I am, how imposing my frame is.
​

"If I want to do anything to jeopardize the mission, there won't be much of a damned thing you, or anyone, in this room could do about it." I snarl. "You need me. You're about to go on an adventure to get not one, but a bazillion (that's a rough estimate since I haven't been keeping up with the IC thread, really), rogue mutants. I hunt mutants. Whether you accept it or not, you need every set of hands you can get. Mine just happen to be very adept at killing mutants."

The robotic components of my body hum as I move, looming over Cyclops. He shrink back slightly.

"Don't think for a second I take orders from you. I might comply... but I'm nobody's b***h."
