GOOD vs. EVIL 16
Adam and Charles were checking with all their contacts, on Merrick. There was some good news around the corner. Merrick had been threw away by the GSA…by Eckhart, the very man he was to protect. Now it seemed, he wanted revenge, either that, or he was trying to get back into Eckhart’s good books again. But they hadn’t had time to go any further, since Charles had gotten a call from an unlikely old friend.
Adam had went with Charles and Scott, back to the school where Charles old friend was waiting.
School
Charles was told of the new arrivals and went straight to his office where ‘he’ was waiting. As they entered, the tallish man that seemed around Adam’s age, maybe older, turned. “ Charles”
Charles was taken back by who it was, “ Eric…what are you doing here”. Eric walked towards him, and Adam stood stern at Charles side. Charles went around the side of his table and waited for every one to sit. Adam sat near to Charles while Eric sat the other side of the table, opposite Charles.
“ Adam, this is Eric Lincher…known as Magneto. Eric, this is Adam Kane”. Adam realised the name, realise this man was who they had recently been fighting against. Before Adam could make up his mind on what to do about it, Eric nodded, “ Yes I already know who he is…but now is not the time. Charles, I need you to help get Reign back…I don’t know what he may be doing to her”.
Charles nodded, “ Eric, I understand your eagerness to get her back, but she went to him-” “-No! she didn’t. He isn’t human Charles; he could have done some thing to her mind. So are you going to help me or not…”
It was now Charles who needed to make a choice, and he needed to make it now. After a few seconds, Charles nodded, “ Fine Eric, but our fighting much stop…at least until this is all sorted out”.
The creases in Eric forehead, smoothed out and he sighed, “ thank you Charles…she’s my only daughter, and I can’t leave her with him”. Charles nodded, “ I know Eric…well, I believe we may need Adam’s help as well then”.
Adam looked at Charles, “ What do you have in mind”.
Sanctuary
Brennan had finally got up; all his wounds had vanished like the others, just over night. Adam had explained it to him, and it seemed impossible at the time…but now, it was original. Now that he was up and ready, Jesse, Shal and Emma had all told him Adam wanted all of them at the school. He didn’t want to argue since the tone in Jesse’s voice when he told him said it was good news for them.
He got dressed and met the team at the helix. The fly to the school was quiet, none of them really knowing how to approach a discussion.
School
When they all arrived, Storm was there to greet them in. When Brennan got off, she hugged him, “I’m glad your better”. Brennan just nodded and smiled, not wanting any more to be said. They all got inside and when they meet the person who’d called Charles, every thing sparked.
Shalimar’s eyes glowed and she growled, Jesse was not in a defence position, but was ready if needed. Emma made an orb on her head and was ready to shoot it and Brennan had an arch of energy in his left hand. All this happened the instant they saw the older man, Magneto.
He laughed as he turned and saw them, “ So this is the whole Mutant x team. Well Kane, I must say they are impressive”. Shalimar growled low, “ Adam, there better be a good explanation”. Adam stepped in, “ There is, guys…just relax while I tell you what me, Charles and Eric have been discussing”.
Mutant x let their powers die and Shalimar huffed, “ He actually has a real name”. Eric looked towards her, but didn’t say any thing.
“ Ok, We’ve all been discussing a plan as to take Merrick down and get Reign back. Now we believe, Merrick is either trying to get revenge on Eckhart or get back with him…but we highly doubt that. Were going to set up some bait to draw him in and then, it’ll be an ambush. We’ll take him down, but no doubt Reign will be near by so well need to deal with her also. We need to hold back though with her since she can’t really control what she’s doing”.
The people in the room all nodded except for Brennan. He was annoyed and shocked at how weak the plan seemed, yes he didn’t have another plan to back him up, but it just wouldn’t work.
“ That’s it…Adam! It won’t work!” Adam seemed shocked Brennan was putting the plan down and put it down to Brennan was just nervous. “ Brennan, I know you feel weary about the plan but-” “- NO, I’m not weary Adam, I just know. He can’t be beaten that easy…and especially with Reign, they’ll be near indestructible”.
Adam sighed, “ Brennan, I know you don’t want to fight her but we all need to do this”.
Eric turned and looked at Brennan, “ Well, they wont be that indestructible, to be that they’d need you”. The room was silent and Brennan suddenly couldn’t take it any more. His anger was building ever time some one said some thing. The plan wouldn’t work, and they weren’t listening to him. He crunched his fists and tried to push the anger away.
“Brennan, we need to take him down. I know you’ve knew him because of your past with him-” “-Adam! You have no idea what he can do…. He knows how to play people; he can’t be beaten by just powers. Reign knew what he could do, she came to warn us…but none of you are listening”
Adam walked towards him, “ Brennan just calm down ok”. Brennan looked back at Eric and saw the look in his eyes, the look he used to get off Merrick whenever he opened his mouth.
“Well then Brennan, why don’t you tell us what he’s capable of…why my daughter is with him”? Brennan huffed his breath at Eric’s excuse of asking, ‘why does he have my daughter’.
“He can’t be beaten by this plan, Adam. You saw what happened when we fought him, he toyed with us. He’s smart too. If you know he’s not human then you know he has powers too, and your all just only started to see. He wants Reign because of her anger towards you Eric. She despises you, and always has-”
“-My daughter loves me-” Shalimar suddenly knew that saying, her dad had said it once to Adam when he’d pointed out Shalimar didn’t want nothing to do with him.
Brennan sighed, “ Well, just don’t expect her to come running to you Eric. Merrick can’t be beat because he knows how we all think. He knows how you think Eric because he can read Reigns mind, and he knows how we’ll react because he used to work at Genomex…just like you Adam”.
Ever one was silent and talking had lowered his temper more. Charles nodded, “ He’s right Adam. Merrick will intercept our attack and could very well snatch Brennan from us again. Perhaps its not Merrick, we need to lure in…but Reign”.
Eric turned to Charles, “ What are you getting at Charles”. Charles however, was putting a quick plan together in his mind.
“ I believe, we may be able to do this. Eric, as Brennan has just pointed out, Reign has a very distinct hate towards you, so using you as bait may overpower Merrick’s control on her. While she is distracted by you, we can all ambush Merrick”.
Ever one grew silent, even Brennan. Adam looked back at him, “ What do you think Eric…you up for it?” Slowly, Eric nodded, “ Yes, if I can get her back, yes”.
Brennan was near the door and was tempted to walk out, but Logan was standing in front of it, so he remained where he was.
“ Brennan…do you think you could help us fight Merrick?” Charles’s voice was soft but held a small message in it. Brennan looked at him, then to Adam, and then the rest of Mutant x. Before he answered, Logan made a point in catching his eyes.
“ Sure…I’ve been waiting to get him back anyways”.
Charles looked at each person in the room, taking in their reaction and how they were dealing with it. “ Alright, we will need to do this very soon. So when will be suitable”.
Adam nodded, “It would most likely be better to do it when its bright and early, make sure ever one is ready, so that Merrick can sneak up on us in the dark”. Eric nodded as well, agreeing with Adam, “ Tomorrow morning, 9 perhaps. Charles, you wouldn’t mind if a few of my team came would you”.
Charles seemed weary to answer him, till finally he made up his mind and sighed. “Fine Eric…but remember, no fighting between us…we’ll need as much help as we can get”.
Jesse now chose to speak, “ How are we going to signal them…and where are we going to set it all up”.
Eric suddenly turned and smiled, “ I have the best place in mind”. Every one made their way out the office, going to do some thing to finish the day off.
It was 4 in the afternoon now and every one was stuck on thinking of what to do. Brennan was weary of what Eric would do when he finally got Reign back but all he knew was that when father and daughter finally meet up…it wont be good.
