Readers/Reviewers: This is a looooooooooong
chapter compared to the others. This one
will take care of the Sentinels, I hope, lol, and then about five chapters of
smut. Yep, smut. ;)
It was
happening so fast but it seemed as if time stood still. Amara tried to block out the sound of Solange
crying but she could not—it was grating, cutting through her already muddle
thoughts and piercing her deeply. She
wanted to scream along with the baby but instead strode over and picked her up,
the absence of the until then continuous thudding from above and around them
making the wail all the more keen in her ears.
“Somebody shut her up,” she demanded, holding the baby at arm’s
length. “I can’t stand it!”
Storm did
not change expression as she took Solange from Amara and tucked her securely
against her hip. “This sounds cruel but
I’m going to put her in the hall closet, bundled and swaddled. It’s the safest place near by. When the fighting starts, we try and keep
those things as far from the house as possible.”
Amara
nodded but did not respond verbally.
Rahne reentered from the study, wearing something she had found in one
of the closets and probably belonged to Firestar or
Emma at one point. The sleeves were too
long and everything else was too tight.
“Would be easier as a wolf,” she muttered, flapping the loose fabric
hanging from her hands. “Now what?”
“Now,” a
smooth voice replied, “we go outside.”
“Caliban,” Storm sighed, halfway to the closet, “I’m
starting to think you’re following us.”
She was grateful for his presence, though, because it meant one more
person on their side.
“And I’m
starting to think that we’re being pushed together by someone else.” Caliban shrugged
his pale shoulders, his shirt hanging from him raggedly. “I came here because we heard there was a Morlock in need of help but it was a Morlock
we had not heard of, calling herself Camille… She is not one of us.” He closed his eyes for a brief moment. “She is one of you. There are more, beneath you and around
you. You are surrounded.”
Storm
nodded, her worst fears realized. “Caliban, if you
would be so good as to help me gather my charges…”
Pietro
groaned as his vision cleared. “Dude,
stop it,” he finally managed. “You got
me.”
“Sorry.
Butterfingers,” Kurt lilted, yanking the curtain ties binding Pietro’s wrists
unnecessarily roughly. “I didn’t think
your head was that close to the countertop.”
He stood, towering over the blond teenager, and bared his teeth in an
unconscious show of aggression.
“Pietro,” he continued in a more menacing tone, “just so you know, I’m
not going to untie you when whatever those things are come through the outside
walls.”
Pietro
stared back calmly. He was trying as surreptitiously as possible to work his
hands free but Kurt had tied the knots so tightly, no slight of hand could
loosen them. “You know,” he replied,
glancing towards the hall from which he had just been dragged, “you can get out
of this. All of you can… it’s plain as the nose on your ugly face.”
Kurt
clucked his tongue. “Now, now… more flies with honey
than vinegar,” he chided. “If you happen
to get free, do me a favor and tell your father to get
fucked, would you?”
Pietro
snarled. “Fuck you, Wagner!”
A
tremendous crash shook the house to it’s very
foundations, so many floors below. Kurt
tasted the bile in his throat and felt his knees go briefly weak as the reality
of the situation hit him anew. “If I
don’t see you again,” he began, but shrugged, vanishing.
“Fucking
hell,” Pietro sighed, jerking against his bonds one more time. “Hey!” he shouted. “Hey!
Someone come in here!”
“You’re
late,” Magneto
intoned calmly as Mastermind[1]
emerged from the old cellar door set into the side of the house at ground
level. “Nearly half an
hour.”
“Apologies,”
he murmured, inclining his head slightly.
“There was an unexpected delay… Mesmero will not be joining us.”
Tarot
sniffed. “He never did seem very
useful.”
Magneto
smirked. “So young to be so imperious…
come. It’s starting.” From their vantage point, they could see the
Sentinels begin their work. They were
arrayed in a vague triangle formation, a gaping hole in the front of the house
where the door and windows once stood. A
loose conglomeration of people stood on the front porch, except for the easily
recognizable Storm. She was over them
like an avenging angel, daring anyone or anything to harm her charges. “This should be fast. They’re not all present so it seems Sabretooth did his job for once.”
Scott lost
sight of Jean as the action began. She
disappeared behind an outcropping of shrubbery and never reappeared on the
other side. “Jean!” he shouted, running
forward only to find himself face to face with Fred. “Jesus Christ,” he snapped, moving around him
only to run face-first into a heavy, meaty fist. Scott staggered back and landed on his
rear. “Great. Fanfuckingtastic.” He reached for his visor’s controls but was
stayed by Fred’s sudden, uncharacteristic lungrwarrward. Scott managed to articulate a sound somewhere
between a grunt and an outraged yowl.
“Shut up a
sec,” Fred said ponderously. “Ain’t
nothin’ you need down there. Go ‘round
to the east side. Gonna be safe there.”
Jono,
Forge, and Tabby jogged up, Tabby already readying her balls of plasma in one
hand. “Fred,” Scott breathed, “let me down
now and I won’t hurt you.”
Tabby
narrowed her eyes. “Fred, I’ll tell her if you don’t let him go.” She spread
her fingers and let the balls of energy show brightly before his eyes. “And these will get a new home in a place I
refer to as No Woman’s Land.”

“Jamie,” Logan
barked sharply. “Ja>“Jamie!”
The
teenager did not move, did not even seem to breathe as he lay
prone, his eyes rolled back in his head.
Todd uttered a sound near a sob but closer to a growl and nudged him
with his toes. “Dude, come on!”
“Shit,” Logan
sighed. “Fucking god
damn son of a bitch!” He slashed blindly with his claws, striking the
console in his anger. The metal parted
like butter, revealing a nest of useless, dead wires. He blinked and recoiled. Emma seemed to stir but Jamie did not
move. Blinking rapidly as an idea
formed, he struck again. “No sparks,” he
muttered. “No fucking sparks…”
Emma sighed
and seemed wide awake. “Finally. You people
are slow. Put me down, Lance, or I’ll
see to it that you never leave high school.”
Lance had
the good sense not to summarily drop her but rather place her on her feet.
