"Ya spilled didn't you Fred?" Skye asked him; Blob nodded slowly and she sighed.
"So, you weren't gonna tell us, yo?" Todd asked her.
"Nope," Skye said; she hung up her cloak and stayed next to the wall.
"Why not? We're a team man," Lance told her, sounding angry.
"I would have, but....... It was complicated," Skye told them.
"Come on, complicated is a Physics test, this isn't," Pietro told her.
"Alright, what has Blob told you?" Skye asked them.
"Doesn't matter, tell us what you know," Lance snapped back.
"Lance, I need to find out what Fred told you so that I can put the pieces together, now, tell me NOW!" Skye shouted, her eyes glowed red and a small ball of fire appeared in her right hand.
"OK, just playing man. Fred told us that you and Wolverine are friends, that you didn't actualy fight him and told him to knock you out," Toad explained quickly.
"Thank you Todd," Skye's eyes went back to normal, the fire ball that
was in her right hand vanished. "We're just friends, me and Mystique
used to work together, hence why she really hates me, we meet up with Wolverine
and we got our job done. I just happend to warm up to him
more than Mysti did,"
" Err, Mystique `warm up' to someone?" Lance asked her.
"Oh, yea. She still had that giant ice beirge on her shoulder, so she; err, cooled up to him," Skye said and then saw Darkholme come up to the door; "She's home,"
The guys all split up; Fred went to the kitchen, Toad went outside,
Pietro went upstairs and Lance was at the TV. Skye walked into the
kitchen to start dinner. Darkholme came into the house
and she looked around before she morphed into her natrual look.
She walked into the
kitchen and saw Skye starting to cook.
"What are you doing?" Mystique asked her in her usual unhappy voice.
"I am doing the holla," Skye said sarcasticly; "I'm fixing up dinner.
I know you usually get take-outs, but for once let the guys have a
home made meal. It gives me something to do," Skye told
her before Mystique could utter a word.
"They don't all like the same thing," Mystique pointed out and smiled smuggly.
"Fred, gather the guys together and figure out what you all want to eat," Skye told him and gave Blackie her dinner; dry chicken, some cat biscuits and water.
"Logan, where were you?" Ororo asked him when he came into the
mansion.
"Out," Logan replied and walked up to his room.
"Woah, guys, did you see the dent in Logan's bike?" Evan asked as he
ran into the living room.
"Which bike?" Scott asked him.
"The red one," Evan replied and sat down on the edge of the sofa, next to Rogue.
"What, the red bike has a dent in it?" Scott sounded surprised and shocked.
"Whats the big deal? Its just a bike," Jean nugged Scott.
"Its not just a bike, Jean, Logan loves that bike," Evan told the red haired girl who sat next to Scott, reading a book.
"He loves both his bikes Porcupine, it is odd that the red one has a dent in it though," Rogue said, turning the voulume down on the television.
"Why are we all, like, caring about the red bike? Whats the big deal? I mean, we don't all, like, totally go all crazy about his other bike, now do we?" Kitty asked them.
"But Kitty, his blue bike is for when he is an X-Men, the red bike is when he's traveling," Kurt told the valley girl.
"Its odd, Logan never has a fight with that bike there. At least, not near it," Scott said.
When Logan came down again there was silence. He didn't care,
he just wanted to fix up his bike and see Skye again. Xavier
had already tried to scan his head, to find out what happend to his
bike, but he got nothing. Logan had managed to hide the fact
that Skye and he were
seeing each other, or were at least planning to. He just had
to figure out how.
//X-Men, the Brotherhood are on their way to Orlando to pick up a new mutant, as its the weekend you may all go. Report to the Blackbird in uniform.// Xavier telepathicly told them.
Logan went to get changed, looks like his bike would have to wait, but at least he got to see Skye again.
The Brotherhood were in Darkholme's jet, on their way to Orlando and
Skye knew who they were after. I just have to......... Allow the
X-Men to take the boy, Skye thought to herself. When they
had landed they all got into a limo; there was only her, Peitro and
Toad, so it would be easy. Mystique told them to be on the look out
for the X-Men, but the reason the whole group wasn't there was because
Mystique wanted Skye to prove herself again, by taking out the X-Men.
Skye agreed, she could and would take out the X-Men, but Wolverine
would once again be a problem. She knew that Toad and Peitro understood
why she never wanted to fight Wolverine, but
neither of them wanted to fight him either.
"Right, so this kid stays at Lindsayfield?" Skye asked them as they drove along the road.
"Yea man, the X-Freaks shouldn't be there," Toad replied.
"This should be easy," Pietro told her.
"Don't underestimate the X-Men guys, Xavier could find out about this kid and send his own troops in," Skye warned them.
The other two nodded, they were in full gear, as was Skye and were hoping
for the job to be easy. Not that Quicksilver would mind beating Spyke
up, but still, the rest could beat him, the rest being
Cyclop's and Jean.
"I've gotta ask this, Jean Gray has no code name right?" Skye asked, the boys nodded; "How can they stop people tracking her down?"
"Don't know, yo. We're here," Toad said as he looked out the window.
They all pilled out of the car and saw the X-Men, Skye's eyes begain
to glow red. Toad took on Nightcrawler, while Quicksilver took Spyke.
Quicksilver seemed to have an easy time beating Spyke, but Toad was having
problems fighting Nighcrawler. Skye had hit Storm with a fire
ball and she fell to the ground; Storm didn't expect the fire ball
to break into lots of fire balls. Skye cause a slight earthquake
under Nightcrawler, he teleported away, but forgot the rocks
would `port with him. He was knock out, leaving the three Brotherhood
to fight the rest. Skye slamed Rogue into the wall behind her with
her control over the wind, Toad caught Shadowcat's leg with his tongue
and tripped her up and tossed her to the side, Quicksilver dealt with Cyclop's,
but then felt himself being pushed into the air by Jean. A ball
of fire hit Jean and she was out. Quicksilver was left with
Cyclop's and Skye and Toad with Wolverine.
"Toad, back off," Skye told the small boy in a firm voice.
"Yea but, we're ment to........" Toad begain.
"I know," Skye told him, "I'll deal with this,"
"Alright," Toad hopped away to help Quicksilver with Cyclops.
"Ya serious?" Wolverine asked her, his claws were out and he was right
at the front door of the boys house.
"Wolverine, Xavier is already in there, I don't think the kids parents
would think too kindly to a bunch of evil mutants taking their kid away
from them," Skye told him and they circled each
other.
"Alright," Wolverine pounced and she was slammed to the ground.
"Err....... Ow, really comes to mind......" Skye told him.
Her hand was at his chest and was pushing him off her, his claws then went to her neck when he was thrown off her by a shadow.
"Wasn't expecting to see me runt?!" The shadow shouted at Wolverine, who was back on his feet.
"Never thought you would help Brotherhood, Creed," Wolverine sneered.
"We already went over this, you ain't nothing to me so don't use that name!" Sabertooth shouted at him.
Skye got up and looked at him; "What are you doing?!"
"I don't care about you, or the rest of them, I'm just here to beat the runt," Sabertooth growled at her and prepared to pounce.
"It was my fight Creed!" Skye yelled at him.
"Didn't know you were my mother,"
"I ain't, which I'm grateful for, you most likely killed her once you were 6 years old," Skye snapped at him.
Sabertooth pounced onto her and they fought. The problem with
Creed was that he healed incredably fast and Skye didn't exactly have a
chance. She was knocked out and Wolverine took over, the other X-Men
came to and begain to fight Sabertooth as well. The two Brotherhood
boys feld, they tried to pull Skye to the limo, but she was bleeding
too much and they believed they did more harm than good, also the fact
that Skye opened her eyes and choked out; "Leave me", the
two boys complied to her order. Xavier came out with the boy
and Sabertooth had fled.
"Is there any injured?" Xavier asked Cyclops and Wolverine.
"Not badly, scratches mainly," Cyclops told him.
"There is one wounded, the new member of the Brotherhood,"Wolverine said and went over to Skye's body.
"What did that?" The boy asked.
"We should leave her," Kitty said and rubbed her hand;"She deserves it,"
Wolverine let out a low growl; "We ain't leaving her Half-pint,"
"Wolverine's right, she's still a mutant, and she might turn around,"Xavier told them as they went to the Blackbird.
When Skye woke up she noticed there was an IV stuck onto her arm, out of shock she ripped it off and a wave of pain came over her.
"Ah, I see your awake," Xavier came into the room.
"Where am I?" Skye asked him and held her arm which was bleeding.
"Your back in Bayvile, at the mansion, where the `X-Freaks' live," Xavier told her with a slight smile; "But you don't use that word do you?"
"No," Skye replied and saw some X-Men come into the room; "Look, thanks for putting me back together, but I have to go," Skye moved off the bed and was about to walk out of the door when Xavier called to her.
"Your not like them,"
"Maybe, but they need someone other than Mystique and Magneto around. Someone has to give them some kind of concience," Skye told him and walked into the hall way and sighed.
"Professor, why did you let her leave?" Rogue asked and came into the room once Skye had passed her.
"She's not like them Rouge, she just want to help them,"
"How? Those guys are pretty mean," Scott said and followed Rogue into the room.
Skye heard this and walked to the door, she looked around herself, sighed again, opened the door and saw Logan working on his bike. She walked towards him and was about to speak.
"Ya going back?" Logan asked and looked at her.
"I have to. They took me in," Skye told him.
"I'll see you at the bar tonight, 9," Logan told her and Skye walked away.
"You left her?!" Mystique yelled at Pietro and Todd.
"She told us to," Todd replied.
"If those X-Men manage to........."
"I'm home!" A cheerful female voice cried out.
"What?" Mystique walked into the hall and saw Skye, wearing normal clothes and she had scars on her arms and neck.
"I'm sorry what happend Mysti, I lost my temper at Sabetooth and fought him," Skye explained.
"Why did you fight him?" Mystique asked angrily.
"He interrupted my fight with Wolverine. I almost had him!" Skye
cried out in anger; "They took me back to their mansion, I would've gotten
you stuff but everyone was there and had their eyes
on me,"
"I'm glad you fought," Mystique commented.
"Thanks," Skye said and went to her room.
