Ice
Teh Sexy Monkey Queen
My name is Charles Francis Xavier. I founded the X-Men because I believe this world can co-exist with both humans and mutants alike. I searched for those were able to help me in my cause that would one day rid of the hatred that fills the hearts of those who wish ill against us. I brought together six mutant outcasts to do just that.
Cyclops. Iceman. Jean Grey. Colossus. Beast. Wolverine.
And then we found Storm during a mission in Africa.
Now if only the world can see the good that can come from this…
Magneto has escaped S.H.I.E.L.D. custody with the helped from Mystique disguised as S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Sharon Carter. He took with him mutant prisoners and somehow launched Genosha into the sky. But with all that, Bobby's long lost sister reappears as a prisoner as well. After failing to capture Magneto, the X-Men head back home with Bobby's sister starting to feel better. And with that, Bobby has left the X-Men to help recover his sister's well being.
Trouble has not even touched the tip of the iceberg for the X-Men. What lies ahead in the near future will truly test their skills. All starting with a little visit…
Central Park
New York City, New York
2 Weeks later-
A woman sat on the park bench with a picnic basket as she watched her daughter run around in circle pretending to be an airplane. Next to her sat her husband as he occasionally looked up from reading the newspaper.
"Mommy, mommy, look! The sky falling, the sky falling!"
"That's one great three-year-old we got there, Martha," the husband mentioned as he smiled at his daughter.
"Look mommy! Look! Sky falling! Sky falling!" the daughter kept going pointing up to the sky. The mother shrugged it off thinking her daughter didn't really know what she was talking about. She took it as some little joke her daughter was playing on her.
"I'm sure it is dear. I think it's time to eat lunch now," she told her daughter as she fumbled through the basket looking for something to give to her daughter. As she did, she heard something whistling in the distance. But it wasn't coming from around her, but up from the sky. She looked up to see something coming down. Her daughter wasn't playing a trick after all.
"Dear God, Ben…RUN!" She screamed as she let the basket go, grabbed her daughter and ran away from the area as far as she could. Her husband looked up with widened eyes and quickly dropped the newspaper and followed his wife. Whatever was coming down started to come down faster and faster until it finally hit the ground and crashing on top of the bench and into the earth. Afterwards, civilians started to arrive to the scene of the crash to conduct their own investigation as to what actually came down. A cop came through the crowd trying to dismiss them out of the way so he could see for himself. He looked into the crater that was created and saw something balled up into a fetal position. He wasted no time in taking out the walkie talkie from his belt in calling for backup.
"HQ this is Officer Charlie over at Central Park. I got a 5-O-49 here, requesting back-up."
Officer Charlie took a better look into the crater and then was quickly struck by a tentacle with what looked liked a giant needle, making him drop the walkie talkie. It sucked Charlie into the crater and let out a giant wale. The crowd began running away in fear.
"Copy that. Back-up is on its way. Do you need ambulance assistance? Hello? Officer Charlie are you there?"
Meanwhile at the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning
Charles Xavier's Office-
Jean walks in to Xavier's office with mail in her hand and a smile on her face.
"Afternoon, Professor. Mail's here. There's something there from ah…from Bobby's parents."
After giving a heavy sigh, Xavier said, "Yes, the lawsuit documents. They did not take well to the call about Robert's leave. And they were less excited about hearing her daughter returning and leaving as she did with her brother."
"Don't worry, you'll get through this. Have you seen Scott? I keep calling him but he won't answer any of my psychic calls."
"Mr. Summers is currently residing in the Danger Room training the others, my dear."
"What? I told him he wasn't supposed to do any training today. MEN! Oh...no offense, Professor."
"None taken, Jean."
Jean took leave from the office as she went through the other door that lead into the common room, and down to the sub-basement to give Scott a piece of her mind. When she left, Xavier reluctantly went to open the envelope from the Drakes. Taking out the documents from inside, he saw he was being sued for almost five million dollars.
"This is going to get ugly."
Xavier quickly looked up and around the room. He felt as if someone had come in, but the door was still closed and the windows as well.
"What kind of presence looms over me? This does not bode well."
The Danger Room-
Scott stood in the control room as he watched over Storm, Beast, and Colossus train in a simulated session which took them back to when they first fought Magneto. Storm was in the air trying to attack Magneto with lightning attacks so his focus would stay away from Colossus charging at him with Beast.
Wolverine was also in the training session, but unlike the others, he wasn't doing anything but sitting on a car smoking a cigar and drinking a beer.
"Wolverine! Get your *** out there and fight! Unless you want me to repeat what I did to you last time we were here(*), I suggest you buck up and actually put some attitude into acting like you at least care about this team. God knows you don't deserve to be here at all!" Scott yelled over the speaker system. While the simulated session was on, no one could see him, just hear him.
(*) Read Essential X-Men #26- I can't believe I just pulled this old trick! Ice.
"Lately, Cykes, yer girly attitude has been gettin' worse by the damn second. Now, I suggest you unwind yer panties before I slice you up good."
Before Scott could reply back, Jean walked into the control room and interrupted their little spout match.
"Scott! What the hell do you think you're doing?! I specifically told you there was to be no training today. You're already over-working everyone with non-stop sessions every day since our last mission!" Jean screamed at him while she kept poking him in the chest.
"Back off, Jean. You yourself should be down there. All of you need to learn how to do better in a battle. Look what happened last time! Magneto escaped because no one was prepared!"
Jean felt insulted by what Scott told her. She grew angrier and slapped Scott in the face.
"Magneto escaped because there was an unexpected situation that happened! No one would have guessed he had someone who could teleport us far away. What is wrong with you Scott?!"
Scott had the feeling to hit back Jean. But even he knew better than that. Jean wasn't his enemy; not his real enemy. Instead, Scott turned around and called the session over and proceeded to walk out, ignoring the fact that Jean was still in the room. Suddenly, the room began to glow a fiery red and yellow as Jean looked down, saddened by how Scott was acting. She understood the facts as to why Scott feels the he does, but doesn't understand why he won't talk to anyone.
"Oh, Scott. When will you face up? I already know…"
The backyard of the Xavier Institute
Five Minutes later-
Scott walked around the backyard thinking. He isn't the type of person to exactly wear his emotions on his sleeve. He stood there thinking about his life. How it was in the past, how it was now. As he stood there, it began to grow darker and darker. Clouds covered up the sun, taking away the brightness the sun was beaming down.
"It's not supposed to be cloudy today. And it's only half past noon. Why is it so dark suddenly?"
**X-Men! This is Professor Xavier. I need everyone to come to the common room.**
Scott went back inside and met up with everyone else to see what Xavier called them for was.
"What's going on?" Scott asked, as he walked into the room and threw himself back onto the wall. The Common room was the X-Men's living room, a place for them to relax when they're not out on a mission or training. A big screen TV was set up with speakers as big as the TV to the right of the room was one entered. A large black sofa was about six feet away with matching black recliners to the other side, next to the window. There were racks that held DVDs and music CDs to the left of the wall after entering the room. And to finish everything off, a mini library was set up on each side of the door that led to Xavier's office. Every shelf was full to the max with books, which were mostly read by Hank.
"I believe it's time for a trip into town. Please get the van ready, Scott. We're going to have some lunch," Xavier explained. As everyone went to get ready, Peter noticed something wrong with Ororo.
"Are you okay, Ororo? You do not seem so well."
"I sense something wrong with mother nature," Ororo mentioned as she felt worried.
"Something is strange indeed," Xavier agreed.
As everyone walked towards the garage, Peter almost forgot about turning the TV off.
"I will be right back. The TV is still on," he said as he walked quickly to the common room to turn it off. Right before he went to hit the power button, he saw that on the news about someone talking about that an alien that had hit earth.
"Aliens. Sure," Peter said to himself. He dismissed what he saw and turned the TV off, walking back to the garage to join the others. He got into the van and the X-Men went into town to have an afternoon off.
Later on-
Xavier and the crew sit outside of a small restaurant as they have their lunch. They're split up into two tables with Peter, Hank, Ororo, and Logan at one table, and Xavier, Scott and Jean at the other.
As they sat and ate their lunch, they noticed a crowd of people walking away from Central Park's area. People tried to quickly get away into a safe distance as to not get into harm's way.
"Now what the hell is going on?" Scott asked as he looked at the crowd. One guy was pushed through the small plastic fence that divided the restaurant and the street, into the X-Men's tables.
"Kind sir, would you do me the honor as to tell us what exactly everyone is running from?" Hank asked nicely.
"Aliens! There are aliens there!" the guy said in fear. He had trouble getting up as he slipped a few times, but once he did, he ran into other tables, still trying to get fully on his feet. He kept running away as the others did, fearing for his life.
"Well, I'd say lunch is over," Logan mentioned as he got up and took his jacket off to reveal his costume underneath. He pulled his mask to the front and let his claws pop out.
"I don't know about you ladies, but I sure as hell ain't stickin' here to find out what's coming," he said as he jumped over the fence that was still standing.
"Well, it looks like you have a job to do now, my X-Men. Let's not waist any more time," Xavier said as he put his fork and knife down and wheeled himself out of the table. The X-Men stood up and took their coats and jackets off as well, also having their costumes ready underneath.
But before they could go and join up to investigate the Park, the whole sky now grew dark quickly. Ships began to appear through the clouds quickly opening up and creatures coming down. The aliens had arrived in the numbers. They stood about five feet high, but not standing up like any normal human. Their bodies were long, stretching about five feet maximum, and having brown color skin. Their heads were big and they walked with six legs and two arms.
"We are the Brood. You are our new hosts," one Brood spoke.
TO BE CONTINUED…
And now, a special back-up story!
Washington, D.C.
Oval Office
1 hour after Magneto's escape-
The President of the United States of America stood at the window behind his desk and stared into the abyss of dreamland. He wasn't really paying attention as to what was happening outside the window, but really thinking about something. As he kept going with his train of thought, a few men came into the room as one knocked while opening the door.
"Mr. President, we're here. Senator Kelly, as well."
The President turned around and walked to the men to greet them. He shook their hands and everyone took their seats.
"Thank you very much for coming, gentlemen. Senator Kelly, it's great to have you back. You're a very important man to this group, you know. I don't want you dying before your time," the President told them as he took some papers from the top of his desk and put them away into a blue folder that was next to them.
"Mr. President, Nick Fury has called in and has revealed that Magneto has escaped again. But this time, we know not of his location. We had sent some rogues to fly only over Genosha, but…"
"But what? What's wrong?" The President asked, worried about what news he could hear about Genosha and Magneto.
"It's gone sir. Just…gone. Genosha isn't where it's supposed to be. It's as if someone, just took it away."
"Did Magneto do this? Did he do something with Genosha's disappearance?"
"We don't sir, I'm afraid. We don't know anything beyond this point now."
The President took a moment to take all this information in. He wasn't sure as to what exactly he should do. After giving it some thought, he knew what next step he should take.
"Gentlemen, this is the reason why we created the Friends of Humanity. This is why we exist. These dangerous mutants, the so-called "Homo-Superior" creatures, are a danger to our society. We must now get ready to go forth with the plans we have taken long consideration to create. In a few months gentlemen, this nightmare will all be over."
"Yes, Mr. President." All the men said as they got up and walked out the room. All except Senator Kelly.
Before he walked out, he turned around and said, "Let's hope this plans works out, Mr. President. We don't want to have any further disasters."
"My name is Graydon Creed, Kelly. My word will be law."
