GenerationX #1: Reflections

by Mike "Synch" Rudden
A fight broke out, easily being dominated as it was nine on two. But within minutes, Murmur teleported back, and brought Fatale and a mysterious stranger with him. Fatale looked was she always did, purple jumpsuit over her gray body and short, black hair. This stranger, though, was slim but wore a baggy black rope over herself. The only body showing was arguably a face, but more like a smooth, pink piece of glass.

The mysterious one was the first to break the silence. "Never thought I'd see you again. Never really wanted to!"

"Again?" queried Jubilee.

"Of course, you wouldn't remember me. I'm just a fraction of your past. You can now call me Port."

"All right, Port, it's time to ex-port some whoop-ass!" Skin let go of his skin all over Fatale.

"No, lad, don't! Her tendrils will slice you apart!" cried Banshee.

"Your headmaster know's me well, young one." Fatale's forearms quickly unsheathed large daggers, which she narrowly missed Skin with.

From then, they paired off. Synch and Gaia battled the mysterious Port, who used pink, crystal daggers as weapons. Banshee handled Vincente with his sonic powers, making it difficult to morph into gas. Emma and Monet teamed up against Fatale, as Skin and Chamber battled Bulwark, leaving Husk and Jubilee against Murmur.

As the battle waged on, the teams began to tire out. Murmur fell unconscious, not being able to take Jubilee's pyrotechnics. While Bulwark was able to take Skin out, he fell to Chamber. Banshee easily defeated Vincente. At the end, most of Generation X was still standing against Fatale and Port.

"You have not won!" yelled Fatale. "What Port and I have up our sleeves is more than you could ever handle!"

With that, Fatale took a gun from her holster and fired at Gaia, knocking her unconscious. Port then opened up a portal, teleporting Gaia away.

"No!" yelled Synch. "You shot Gaia!" Monet held him back, but not before Synch borrowed Chamber's power and blasted Port unconscious.

Banshee then saw that Fatale was teleported her team away, so he grabbed Port for one final try at clarification.

"Who are ye?! What do ye want?!" Banshee shook Port wickedly.

"Who am I? You should know that, Sean." replied Port groggily.

Banshee then looked at the face plate of Port, and saw his own reflection. It then broke apart, revealing a very frightening image. That of the face of Clarice Ferguson, aka Blink, the girl who died more that a year ago to save his students. The girl with unexplored teleportation powers. The girl he left for dead.
