There are very few things left in the world that truly have the ability to dumbfound Victor Creed these days anymore. After living on this planet for well over a century, it takes a lot to shock him.
He stared at Professor Charles Xavier in shock.
�Vampires?� Victor repeated the word that had just been used moments ago. �Are you serious? You want me to go after vampires?�
�Actually, you won�t be going alone. You will be taking Scott, Jean, and Storm with you,� Xavier went on as if there was nothing truly out of the ordinary with this discussion.
�There are no such things as vampires,� Victor said, crossing his arms over his chest.
�And there are no such things as men who live for hundreds of years, yet here you stand,� Xavier replied. �Now, I don�t know for a fact that these are in fact actual vampires. But whoever they are, they are drawing a great deal of unnecessary attention to themselves. From what I can tell, this should be simple enough for you and the others to deal with.�
Victor snorted. �I don�t need the Mickey Mouse club to help me with this, especially if we�re only talking about two �vampires�.�
Xavier smiled. �You�re probably right, but it is for that very reason I want the others to go with you. These are the very kinds of situations they are being trained to deal with. They need real world experience. And who better than you to help guide them through it?�
Victor smiled sarcastically. �I feel so honored.�
�There is something else that I thought would be of interest to you: the diamond these creatures were trying to steal was a facsimile of a gem known as the Gehenna Stone. Erik mentioned to me in his last phone call from Israel that this stone is of great interest to Romulus.� Xavier nodded at the subtle jerk in Victor�s body. �Yes, this may be the very thing you will need to find your brother. That is the other reason I want the students with you. Jean is telepathic. If Romulus sends someone to collect the stone, she will be able to get information from them.�
�What does Romulus want with some diamond?� Victor had spent countless hours over the last year since learning about Jimmy first being in Moscow, and more recently in Madripoor, trying to learn everything he could about Romulus. There wasn�t much to find. But based on what little he did know, Victor knew Romulus wouldn�t be all too interested in expensive jewelry.
Xavier actually chuckled. �The Gehenna Stone actually has quite an interesting history. Supposedly, it houses the soul of a powerful demon called Ba�al. By all accounts, demon or man, he was known for his cruelty and great power. He led horrific blood rituals. If you believe the myth, he was struck down by the very hand of God Himself. Supposedly, only his body could be destroyed. So, his spirit was put into the Gehenna Stone. The stone was then split into pieces that were hidden all over the world. Some say he was the first vampire.
�Now, as to what Romulus wants with it, I really couldn�t tell you. But it would be in all of our best interests if you found out.�
)o( )o( )o( )o( )o( )o(
Daken gnashed his teeth. It was only by great force of will that he did not call Romulus and demand to be returned to Madripoor immediately. Daken was beginning to wonder if Romulus was purposely trying to keep him apart from his father. For thirty five years, father and son had been separated. Romulus had always assured Daken that it was for both of their sakes that it was this way, that men like Stryker would only use Daken as a way to hurt James.
Romulus had promised to make him strong enough to defend himself. Daken knew that the American government had assassinated his mother when she was late in her pregnancy with him in order to prevent James from having unnecessary attachments. It was Romulus who had saved him, raised him, and hidden him all of these years, told him glorious stories of the father he had never met.
And now that James was finally back in his life, it seemed that Romulus wanted to keep the man all to himself.
The past year had been filled with pointless missions, like the very one he was on right now. Daken�s job was simple: go to San Francisco, wait to see which family member of the Corrigan family had this Gehenna Stone and then acquire the stone.
Apparently, someone had all ready tried to steal the stone from a museum. But it had turned out to be a fake.
Now, the Corrigan family, who was apparently in possession of the �real� Gehenna Stone, was in some kind of legal custody war over the stupid thing.
This is a complete waste of my time, Daken complained to himself as he stabbed at his breakfast with a fork. But he also knew that trying to get out of this job would only lead to Romulus shipping him off somewhere else.
�Bastard,� Daken muttered.
)o( )o( )o( )o( )o( )o(
Victor looked around the streets of San Francisco with mild disgust. It didn�t matter where it was, he hated being inside of cities these days. He would much rather be out in the wild where he truly belonged.
With Jimmy by his side, the two of them running free and sharing in each other�s pleasure. And that is the only reason he has not run howling for the hills yet.
He is also about ready to smack all three of these damned kids upside the head, at the very least. Jimmy was so much better at dealing with this shit when they were in the army. Youngsters, barely out of mama�s warm embrace, thinking they were so ready for their first real fight. These kids had no idea what hell could possibly be waiting for them.
Well, ole Chucky wanted him to learn these kids up right, and that�s just what he would do.
Scott, especially, was bubbling over with enthusiasm as he practically skipped over to Victor. This was one of the straightest gay boys that Victor had ever met. �Now, Mr. Creed, I�ve been thinking about some strategies to getting the location of the stone-�
�Really?� Victor couldn�t be any less interested. �Look, here�s what we are going to do. We know that the Corrigan family has the stone-�
�So we can sneak into the house while they�re at court today-�
�No.�
�Well, we could disguise ourselves as delivery men-�
�When did this turn into an episode of fucking Scooby Doo?� Victor snorted. �And after you and I corner the scary monster, will Velma and Daphne over there come to pull off his rubber mask?� Scott had no idea how to respond. �Listen, junior, I know that have studied all sorts of wonderful strategies. Right now, you don�t know shit. I have been doing this for years, you are still a wet behind the ears pup. You will do what I tell you, or I break all of the fingers in your left hand.�
�Why my left?� Scott damned near squeaked.
�Because that�s the one you jerk off with, so you will remember your lesson better.�
Scott looked like he might pass out. �So, what do you suggest we do?� Still trying to sound like he was the leader, bless his pathetic little heart.
�We are going to the court house and Jean is going to politely ask the Corrigan family where the Gehenna Stone is,� Victor explained.
�Ah, by reading their minds!�
Victor rolled his eyes. �No shit, genius. Now stop interrupting me. After we know where the damned thing is, we�re going to take two separate field trips. You and Storm are going to the museum where the fake stone was taken from to see what you can find out about these �vampires�. Jean is coming with me to collect the stone.�
�Then we need to get to the court house quickly!� Scott said decisively.
Don�t strangle the students. Don�t strangle the students. You need them to help you find Jimmy. Victor knew that this was going to be a very long mission.

Daken was about ready to either gauge out his own eyes or run into the court room and start gauging out the arguing family members� eyes. For the better part of twenty minute, he has had to listen to Archie and Ruth Corrigan scream at each other about the supposed sanity (or lack thereof, depending which party was screaming at the moment) of the as yet to appear Brother Burt.
This is one of the reasons that Daken follows Romulus towards his goal. Once Romulus is in control, such things like this petty bickering will be beneath him. No more stupid humans in control, no more foolishness.
Only the law that the strong survive and the weak must either be destroyed or submit.
Daken finds himself freezing for a moment. He has been a true believer of this vision for so many years. But what of his father? Daken wants them to be a proper family, like Romulus promised him.
Not for the first time, Daken wonders if Romulus actually intends to keep him around. After all, if he wanted, Romulus could make James forget that he ever had a son in the first place.
Daken�s thoughts are immediately derailed when his uncle comes loping into the courthouse with three youngsters in tow. The male is clearly over eager to please, and what fun Daken could have with that one. The two females are a bit more cautious, but still eager to please.
He watches as his uncle turns to the redheaded girl, saying something he can�t hear. Her eyes go blank for a moment. The telepath, I bet, Daken decides. He contemplates letting these fools get the stone for him, then stealing it away. Hopefully from that precious little over-achiever with the red glasses.
Victor�s head suddenly snaps up, his eyes narrowing on Daken. Daken watches as his uncle scents the air. Do I smell like Dad to you, Victor? Daken immediately masks his scent. Let the bastard try to figure it out for himself.
All of this would have built up to a glorious, epic first meeting-
If not for the man riding through the court house on a charging horse, and he was being chased by a horde of-
�Vampires?� Victor muttered. �There really are vampires?�
There must have been hundreds of the things. Not one of them had a heart beat, each reeking of death. And they were swarming the court house.
Daken summed up the situation best for everyone:
"Oh, fuck me."
