Title: The MARAUDERS
Pt-1<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
THE XAVIER INSITUTE
OF HIGH LEARNING FOR GIFTED STUDENTS Salem Center, New York
The Morlocks' leader Calisto was rushed into The X-Men's medical center in the sub-level basements of Xavier's Mansion, where the automated D.O.C. scanned his body bio and started mending found fractures, wounds, and cuts, slowly putting him back to normal...!
"Calisto...what happened to you...?" asked Xavier, as he and The X-Men gathered around his hospital bed and awaited his story...!
"It all started after the massacre of my people..." he said [weakly], as the pain medicines were starting to kick in...! "...I wore I'd get revenge on the people who slaughtered them..., so I tracked them back to the airport where they took a private plane into Utah's Rocky Mountains...! I managed to pick up on their tracks shortly after I landed [several hours behind them], and tracked them to a mountain lodge which doubled as their hideout/headquarters..."
::::FLASHBACK::::
Calisto kept a safe distance from his targets, knowing how dangerous they were! He stayed in the woods for days [weeks], studying they're movements and routines [a la his elite military training], learning as much as he could about each and every one of them before finally moving in for the kill!
His anger never wavered, his thirst for revenge never floundered, as he lay low under weeds and shrubbery at night for warmth [no fire, afraid they might see the glow], and fed off raw fish and spring water as he kept a close eye on his query...!
There were FOUR cyborg Marauders as far as he could tell: Scalphunter, Harpoon, Prism, and Riptide...! Each had a cybernetic specialty: Scalphunter was the weapons man, carrying an arsenal about his body; Harpoon had spears, which could pierce through anything once energized; Prism was the strong arm of the team, all of them possessed strength, but Prism's was above average; and Riptide was the hothead! All of them were deadly, all with no real regard for life! Calisto could tell by the way they interacted with each other, having no respect for ownership or space as they fought for food, drink, and bedding, literally ripping the food right out of the hands of whoever was eating...! Of course it always resulted in a fistfight, with someone always getting knocked out cold! It was a loser's way of life, and Calisto knew exactly what he was dealing with!
One day the foursome decided to travel into a nearby town for a night of drinking and partying, and stopped off at a roadside bar for after hour drinks! The bartender knew they were trouble the moment they walked in, keeping his trusty 12 gauge handy under the bar just in case! The 4 men took seats at a table, then immediately began haggling the waitress, treating her like a piece of meat as they slapped her inappropriately on her buttocks and yelled lewd vulgar things at her! A few of the patrons decided then to pay their bar tabs and move on, but a few [bikers and roughnecks] took an instant disliking to the new guys treating their hangout like their own!
When one of The Marauders grabbed the waitress and pulled her down into his lap [wanting a lap dance], one of the bikers grabbed a pool stick and walked over to the table...!
"I don't believe the lady's interested, fella...!" he said, advising him to let her go!
Instead The Marauder chose to rip open the woman's blouse, causing her c-sized tits to spill out of her bra...! When the biked rose his stick to clobber one of the strangers over the head, Prism jumped up to cut him off at the pass, lifting his metal arm to block the blow [breaking the stick over his forearm] before kicking the biker in the chest with his metal foot, sending him soaring across the bar and into several tables...!
The biker's friends saw what happened to their buddy and grabbed more pool sticks and broke the ends of beer bottles to use as weapons before walking over to the table and avenge their friend! Unfortunately they didn't stand a chance, as Scalphunter and Harpoon got up to join Prism in kicking some biker butt, the sound of breaking bones and screams were suddenly heard throughout the building!
BANG!! shot the bartender, shooting his 12 gauge into the ceiling as a warning, telling the strangers to get out of his bar before he calls the local cops...! Harpoon grabbed one of the fallen pool sticks from the floor, and threw it straight through the bartender's chest, sticking him to the wall behind the bar!
Riptide [the one who started it all] picked the waitress up and slapped her down atop his table and started ripping off her clothes! The woman kicked and screamed for help, slamming a glass beer mug against his head and drawing blood! Riptide repaid her by punching her in the face, knocking her unconscious!
"Oh well..." he said, ripping off her tight jeans and panties...! "...it's more FUN if she's alive..." he added, before unzipping his pants and pulling his erect cock from its hideout! "...but drunk or dead, pussy's pussy...!" he laughed, before ramming his cock into her!
"UHHH...!" gasped the unconscious girl, as Riptide grabbed her hips and started fucking furiously!
"Geez...WE did all the fighting, and HE gets the reward...!" complained Prism, watching Riptide fuck the only female in the bar!
"Like HE said..." reasoned Scalphunter, grabbing one of the hurt bikers up off the ground before slamming him face down on another nearby table..., ripping the ass of his jean off to expose his big burly butt...! "...pussy's pussy...!" he agreed, before ramming his own erection straight up the hairy biker's backside...!
"Fucking-A...!" agreed Harpoon, rolling another biked over on the floor before unzipping and climbing down on top of him...!
"Fuck that..." said Prism, watching his buddies fuck...! "...I'll wait MY turn with the girl..." he chose, "...I'd rather have sloppy seconds than have shit on my dick...! Those bikers look like they barely know how to wipe their asses...!" he joked, stroking his own cock as Riptide pounded the bitch across the table!
Calisto stood on the outside looking in, watching The Marauders pillage and plunder, and rape any hole they wanted! Cal imagined the monsters murdering The Morlocks, doing the very same thing to THEM that they were doing here! Anger built in his veins in a cancer, but now wasn't the time for revenge...! He'd let the monsters have their way, go back to their cabin believing they had it all! Then one by one he'd pick them off, showing each one of them what it felt like to be the victim of a true monster!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
THE CABIN
Calisto followed The Marauders back to their cabin, and watched them all pass out shortly afterwards, all drunk off alcohol and sex! Riptide was a former sergeant in the Army, having lost his limbs after walking over a mine! Doctors told him he would never walk again, but Sinister took him and fixed him up, merging his flesh with metal, creating a whole new life for him, a life he intended on taking full advantage of!
He woke up from his drunken stupor, his metal limbs magnetically stuck to a huge trash compactor magnet in the center of an old junk yard [this particular magnet was turned upside down on the ground specifically for Calisto's use]...!
"H...H...HEY..." yelled Riptide, looking around for anyone in sight...! "...what the fuck...??!" he shouted, unable to move, his metal legs stuck overhead and flat against the magnet along with his arms [leaving him precariously doubled in half (ass up)]...!
"If this's some kinda joke...I'm seriously gonna rip someone's head off...!" he threatened, believing it might be his cyborg buddies playing a trick on him...? His hopes were dashed however when Calisto came out of nowhere...all dressed in black, and undetectable...! "Wh...who the fuck'r you...?" asked Riptide, lifting his head to look up over his chest...!
"Calisto...!" said the dark figure, moving in closer, making Riptide squirm [his naked bare/hairy ass laid vulnerable at the stranger's mercy]...!
"uh...could you DO me a favor, buddy...? Get me off this fuckin' magnet...? I can't move!" asked Riptide, hoping for an assist!
"That's the whole idea, dumbass...!" said Cal, stepping into the light...! "I'm Calisto...of The Manhattan MORLOCKS...!" he revealed, as Riptide's jaw dropped...!
"uh...lo...lo...look dude..." he stammered, nervously...! "...w...w...WE had nothin' to do with that...! I mean we DID...but it wasn't OUR idea...!"
"Doesn't matter..." said Cal, climbing up onto the magnet with him as he stood over Riptide's doubled over body...! "...you killed innocent women and children..."
"It wasn't OUR fault..." argued Riptide, struggling to get loose [but unable to budge]! "...it was our benefactor...! A man called Sinister! HE was the one that ordered the hit on The Morlocks! It wasn't US, man...! I swear!"
"If that's true...then I'll find HIM too..." said Calisto, groping the extra-long snake growing down his pant leg...! "...and do to him the same thing I'm gonna DO to you...!"
Riptide watched as Calisto undid his pants and whipped out his WHOPPING 13" uncut black cock...! Riptide's eyes widened with fear when he realized exactly WHERE The Morlock intended to put it...!
"Hey man...I'm not with that GAY shit, dude...!" he said, realizing the awkward [and vulnerable] position he was in [ass in the air]...!
"I saw what you did to that GIRL at the bar..." said Calisto, standing directly over Riptide's hairy ass before allowing a single strand of spit to drool down off his bottom lip and land directly on his anal bulls-eye...! "...only a REAL man would walk into a bar and beat the shit out of a woman and rape her without her consent...! I figured I'd let YOU know how it feels...!"
"No...please, man..." begged Riptide, watching as Cal squat over him to aim his plum like cockhead down against his virgin bunghole...! "...DON'T...! Please...! I'll...I'll DO whatever you want...! Anything! Please!"
Calisto paused, just as his dark cockhead touched upon Riptide's tightly puckered chute...
"I want you to DIE...!" he snarled [ominously], before ramming his cock forth and burying the head and several inches with the first thrust!
"ARRRHHHHHHHHHHHH...!!!" screamed Riptide out loud, feeling his asshole RIP open as the cock pierced and penetrated his rectal ring like an unavoidable car crash!
Calisto felt Riptide's anal muscles attacking his big cock as he bore straight through him...pulling back slightly [withdrawing a couple of inches] only to ram forward once more, burying another 5 to 6 inches deep! Riptide screamed like a virgin woman in labor as he banged the back of his head against the iron magnet platform to try to render himself unconscious! Calisto pulled back one last time before shoving his hips forward and burying the rest of his thick black rod 13 inches deep in the former soldier's innards! Riptide passed out just as Calisto buried himself and started grinding about in his gut...unable to handle the frightful pains shooting through his entrails!
Calisto laughed to himself...! The cyborg was strong enough to rape a defenseless woman at the bar, and kill innocent homeless men, women, and children in the sewers underneath Manhattan...but he couldn't handle taking a 13" cock up the ass!
Calisto waited with his cock buried deep, slapping Riptide [gently] about the face to wake him up! When the man started to come to...Calisto balanced himself by grasping the backs of Riptide's legs and started fucking in and out of his tight hairy ass! Riptide screamed, wailed, and groaned in complete pain, hoping to pass out again from the terrible stretching his rectal ring and innards were suffering!
Calisto fucked Riptide fast and furiously, WANTING it to hurt him as badly as possible, not wanting him to enjoy it at all! He yanked all 13 inches of his dark [coal] black horse cock from Riptide's raped hole, then rammed it all back in with the next thrust, burying himself balls deep as The Marauder had no choice but to lay there and take it!, screaming like a total bitch as he watched the big black cock ruin his rectum from the inside out!
No one could hear Riptide scream out in the middle of nowhere! Calisto made sure to knockout the nighttime security guard [guarding the property form vandals] as humanely as possible, so HE wouldn't be implicated in what was happening! He leaned in overtop Riptide and started fucking his butch-hole hard and fast, battering his way in and out of the manhole mercilessly! The cyborg couldn't believe how fast The Morlock fucked him, watching his big dark dick disappear straight up in his spread ass, pounding through his gut, turning his insides into liquid mush! Every time the cock emerged it was covered in slick slimy anal slime, secretions his body released to help make the stool inside him slide through easier! He could also see traces of blood [and tomorrow's shit], where the big cock had stolen and broken his butt cherry!
He was just beginning to wonder HOW would all of then end...?...when Calisto suddenly rammed all the way in and held himself deep...his thick cock swelling and expanding before pulsating and throbbing...then shooting out big thick clots of hot cum...!
"ARRHHHH...! ARRHHHH...! ARRHHHH...!" grunted Calisto, losing his load in The Marauder's ass, shooting his thick milky ball juice directly into his colon and flooding the insides with its first [and only] wad of potent sperm...! Riptide's face turned crimson red from all the pressure and embarrassment built up inside him! He could FEEL the huge cock pulsating thickly in his innard! He could FEEL the hot cum gushing through him, leaving a white river of potent gold in his aching bowels!
When Calisto finally pulled his softening [rubbery] prick from his ass, he thought his ordeal was over...! However, he was horrified when Calisto walked over to the magnet's control panel and lifted it 3 stories up into the air...leaving Riptide screaming [scared] and still stuck to it upside down...!
"Hey man...! Hey dude...! I DID what you wanted! You FUCKED me really hard! You busted your nut in my ass! You complete humiliated me...! You got your revenge! What MORE do you want...!??" asked the upside down Marauder...!
"To DIE!" was all Calisto said before dropping the magnet to the ground, crushing The Marauder under TONS of heavy iron...!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
THE CABIN [again]
The next day The Marauders awakened to find one of their own missing! "What the fuck happened to Riptide...?" asked Prism [sometime around noon], after everyone finally awakened and realized him gone...!
"Who knows...? Who cares...?" answered Scalphunter, nursing a hangover by breaking open another 6pack, turning one up to his hairy mustached lips...!
Harpoon stood standing at the refrigerator, staring in...!
"I'm tired of having nothing around here to eat...!" he snapped, slamming the fridge door before grabbing his satchel of iron harpoons...! "I'm going out to catch us a deer...!" he said, storming out the door and leaving his companions behind!
It took a few hours of careful quiet stalking for Harpoon to sneak up on a buck grassing in the woods...! He waited until the animal had its head down [nibbling at grass] before he slowly eased a harpoon from his back-sack, then energized it with electrical currents in his metal limbs before aiming and hurling it at his target! The harpoon pierced the deer dead-on, causing the animal to buck wildly as it quickly ran off...! Harpoon followed after, knowing it wouldn't get far with an iron rod sticking straight through it...!
He followed the blood trail until he came across the buck lying dead in the brush! But to his surprise the harpoon was gone! He looked around briefly to see where it could be...?...figuring the deer must have knocked it out of him while bucking through the woods! He found the harpoon when it suddenly came soaring at him from out of nowhere...! Piercing straight through him and sticking him to a nearby tree! From directly in front of him [out of the bush] came a lone man...his clothes camouflaged to blind in with the leafy background [see: Predator movie], just before suddenly changing colors and reverting to its normal shade of black...!
"Who...the...fuck...are...you...?" asked the dying man with his last breath...!
"A MORLOCK!" was all Calisto said, before the man slumped forward [dead]!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
HOURS LATER
"Where the FUCK is everybody...?!" asked Prism, pacing about the cabin as he went to the open front door for the umpteenth time to see if he saw Harpoon OR Riptide coming up the drive...? "Where could those mofo's be...?!"
"Out somewhere gettin' DRUNK...!" said Scalphunter [nonchalantly], laid back on a sofa with his booted feet kicked up...! "Who gives a shit where they are or what they're doin'...? So long as they here when Sinister gives his next orders...otherwise they're gonna really be in BIG trouble...!"
"I know they can be irresponsible and selfish a lot of times...but they don't never disappear like this...not without saying where they're going...!" worried Prism, his gut telling him something's wrong...! "I think WE should go look for them...!"
"YOU go look for em..." snarled Scalphunter, rolling over on his side, turning his back to the door [AND Prism]...! "...just let me know when you need a tampon for that vagina yur growin'...!" he added flipped, calling Prism a pussy'...!
"Fuck YOU, dude...!" said Prism, slamming the front door behind him as he started to search for his fellow teammates...!
Prism gave a quick scan of the area [visually], then went in the direction he thought his friends might have gone...cutting through the fields where Riptide was known to get drunk and pass out...!
Calisto kept a very close eye on Prism as he walked through the fields, heading in the direction where Harpoon lay impaled on one of his own stakes...! Calisto blended in with the color background of dying weeds and grass, his mutant stalking abilities giving him the perfect camouflage as he lay low and crawled about on his belly...!
Prism walked towards the wooded area of the wilderness, knowing there was a river nearby that Harpoon liked to visit ever-so-often to harpoon fish...! 20 minutes into his journey, he saw Harpoon leaning back against a tree, and rushed over to give him `what for' for wandering off unattended...!
"Motherfucka..." shouted Prism, walking up on his Marauder teammate... "...where the fuck've you bee...??" he asked, stopping short when he noticed Harpoon speared to death [stuck to a tree] with his own weapon...!
"WHO THE FUCK...??!" asked Prism, spinning around with his hands up in fighting mode [just in case]...! When he saw no one anywhere nearby, he went over to see if Harpoon was still alive...? A quick check of his vital signs gave him the answer...! He was just about to grasp the harpoon to pull his buddy from the tree...when he noticed the ground getting up to attack him...!
Calisto jumped up off the ground [camouflaged to look like his surroundings] as Prism fell backwards and flipped him overhead with his foot, causing Calisto to land on his back...!
The 2 men jumped up, both facing each other...
"WHO the fuck'r YOU...??" asked Prism, poised for another attack as he and Calisto faced off...!
"I'm the guy whose LIFE you fucked over..." snarled Cal, looking for a weakness in Prism's stance...! "...I'm the leader of The MORLOCKS...!"
"The Morlocks...?" questioned Prism [as if he had no idea WHO Cal was talking about...?], making Calisto even madder as he charged Prism again! Prism pulled back his fist to punch The Morlock as soon as he was in reach, but Calisto already had a countermeasure in place, leaping over Prism at the last second and looping a metal [adamantium laced] cable about his mechanical wrists and looping it about his neck before somersaulting and landing on his feet behind the cyborg and pulling hard on the cord...!
"uurrhhggg...!!" choked Prism [as his breathing passage was cut off], before Calisto physically FLIPPED the black cyborg over his shoulder, slamming him to the ground and quickly wrestling him face down on his stomach...!
"UURRHHGGG...!!!" choked Prism [louder] as Calisto shoved his knee into his back and pulled HARD on the cable, cutting into his neck...! "No...! Please...killing The Morlocks wasn't our idea...!" he managed to say [using his last breath]! Calisto reached back with his free hand and ripped the seat of Prism's pants open [exposing the black man's bubbled bottom], then ran his callused hand roughly over the tempting cheeks before pressing his fingers down into the butt crevice and ramming 2 finger straight up the ex-marine's virgin chute...!
Prism struggled and flexed his butt muscles to try to keep The Morlock out, but Calisto easily forced his fingers up his ass, then physically got down behind him and poised his fat cockhead up against his murky hole...letting Prism know he was about to be fucked...!
"You know, I don't know whose worse..." he said, leaning in over the guy's back to whisper in his ear while holding the cable tightly in his grip...! "...the man who ordered the massacre of hundreds of innocent men, women, and children...or the men who acted out his order and couldn't even be bothered to know WHO they killed or WHY...!?"
And with that, Calisto roughly rammed his huge 13" cock straight up the cyborg's ass with one fearfully frightful stroke...causing Prism to scream out in physical pain...! Calisto wrapped the metal cord around his fist several times and continued to pull at it hard, making it cut deeper into Prism's skin while he fucked HARD into his convulsing anus! Prism couldn't breathe nor speak while his ass was being violated! For the first time since getting his cybernetics he felt helpless, unable to stop what was happening to him as he started to black out and lose consciousness...!
Calisto pulled and pulled on the metal cord until it finally cut straight through and severed Prism's head from his body! But the mutant Morlock was so engrossed in finishing what he started that he continued fucking Prism's lifeless body for another 5 minutes until he finally rammed all the way up inside him and came...!
"ARRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGG...!!!" he cried at the top of his lungs, blowing a huge heavy load deep into the dead marine's ass, taking his virginity and his life at the same time!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Scalphunter was still lying on the sofa, sleeping off the effects of alcohol, when Calisto crept up to the cabin's window and peered in...! From what he could obtain, Scalphunter was the leader of The Marauders, making him Cal's prime target!
Crouching down under the window, he attached an explosive device he managed to grab off of one of the cyborg's bodies, then stood up and threw it through the window...! Unfortunately Scalphunter HEARD Calisto milling about outside, and came crashing through the window at him @ the very same moment he was throwing the bomb through the window...! Scalphunter tackled Calisto to the ground just outside the cabin, just as the cabin blew up...!
!!!!!!!KA-BOMB!!!!!!!
...sounded the explosion as the cabin blew up in a giant fireball of smoke with debris flying everywhere, while Scalphunter and Calisto tussling about on the ground! Scalphunter gripped Cal by the throat [with his mechanical hand] and started to squeeze...! Calisto knew the cyborg was capable of crushing his neck with his bare hands, and purposely kneed the cyborg in the groin, bashing directly into his balls!
"Arrhhhh...!!" yelled Scalphunter in pain, grabbing his aching nuts while Calisto escaped...! "You fuckin' bastard...!" gasped Scalphunter, withering about on the ground before trying to get no his feet...! Calisto grabbed one of Scalphunter's weapons and started using it against him, shooting the bandit's body full of holes as the cyborg screamed aloud in total agony before falling backwards onto the ground!
Calisto was on top of him in seconds...
"Where's your boss...?" he asked, placing the automatic underneath Scalphunter's chin, threatening to blow off his head...! "I want the MAN who ordered the hit...! WHERE is he...??!" yelled Cal, his finger tightening on the trigger...!
"He's right BEHIND you...!" said a strange eerie voice [sending cold chills up Cal's spine]...! Calisto spun around, only to get HIT by a powerful bolt of telekinetic energy which sent his body soaring backwards on the ground with amazing force...!
Calisto was knocked for a loop for a moment, but quickly regained his senses as he ran over to use Scalphunter as a human shield, pulling a sharp knife out of hiding and holding it up to the cyborg's throat as a deterrent...!
"WHO are you...?!" he asked to the new threat standing before him [ominously], his feet not even touching the ground as he levitated over the graveled dirt [the cabin burning behind him]...!
"I am called many things by many people...; God, Master, The Creator, The Evolutionary, The Most High..., but I prefer my latest incarnation...: Mister Sinister!"
"Sinister...?" repeated Calisto, having never heard the name before...! "So YOU were the one who had my people killed...?"
"The one and only...!" gloated Sinister, "The Morlocks were a decrypted race of people who deserved annihilation...! They were far too removed from the FIRST Mutant that their powers and appearances were hideous at best...! Extinction was the only real answer to combat such atrocities as those...!"
"uh, Sinister..." said Scalphunter, holding completely still with a blade near his jugular...! "...could you NOT piss this guy off anymore than he already is...? Please...?" he asked, holding his hands up in defense...!
Sinister signed...
"I created YOU...evolving you and your friends from wounded casualties of war, into sophisticated fighting machines to counter the atrocities in the mutant community...and you all fall to this ONE insignificant FLAWED design...? How tragic...!" said Sinister, blasting Scalphunter apart with his own hand...the force of his telekinetic field literally RIPPING Scalphunter's metal limbs from his human body, leaving nothing but the military soldier's head, neck, and torso in Calisto's grasp...!
Calisto dropped Scalphunter's remains to the ground...!
"Really..." said Sinister, watching as the soldier took his last breath...! "...good help is so hard to find...!" he smiled [evilly], as his red eyes began to glow and Calisto felt his brain suddenly on FIRE...!
"ARRHHHHH...!!" he screamed in agony as Sinister flooded his thoughts with images and emotions from his past...filling his fragile human brain with the memories of a thousand lifetimes...from the dawning of humanity and the building of The Pyramids, through the first and second World Wars, to The Age Of Apocalypse...!
Calisto's brain was too fragile to contain it all, shutting itself down as the mutant fell unconscious and foaming at the mouth [from seizure]...! Sinister toyed with the idea of torturing Calisto, but ultimately decided to let him live, as a warning to others...! Calisto awakened hours later, feeling as if his mind had been raped and plundered of its fruits! The cabin was now burnt to the ground in ashes, and the only parts left of Scalphunter's body was his metal arms and legs!
Calisto staggered himself back to his hidden vehicle, then drove back to Utah's Airport and commandeered another private jet and flew himself back to New York and Xavier's Estate where he burst into the remodeled guesthouse he used to share with his soulmate: Warren Worthington III [last chapter]!
Pt-2<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
XAVIER'S MANSION Sub-level-2B/Med Lab...
"I barely got away with my life..." said Calisto, still recovering in med-lab far beneath Xavier's Institute in New York...! "...he was much too powerful of a mutant...! His abilities were...immense! I was ill prepared to battle him...!"
"And you really believe he's some descendant of Apocalypse...?" asked Beast [referring to the images Sinister implanted in Calisto's head]...!
"Well, aren't we ALL...in a way...?" asked Polaris.
"I definitely SAW Apocalypse standing before FOUR Horsemen...: Death, War, Famine, and Pestilence...! Sinister was there...! HE was one of them!" insisted Cal!
"What do you think, Professor...?" asked Forge, unsure...!
"I think Calisto's telling the truth..." said the telepath, having read his mind while he told the story...! "...but we need to do our homework on this MR. SINISTER..." he added, cautiously...! "...if he's indeed a descendant of Apocalypse...it may take ALL of us to confront him...! And we need to be prepared this time...we can't be taken by surprise like we were in Egypt...! [see: X-Men Tales 47-53 for Apocalypse's story]...! I need to converse with Moria...! She's been studying the data on Apocalypse based on our encounter with him...and she may have some ideas about Wanda's twins...!"
"The twins...?" questioned Beast, "Do you think this Sinister may be after them...?" he asked, curiously!
"I don't think it's a coincidence that he shows up NOW after all of these centuries, at the same exact moment in time Apocalypse's sons are created...!" surmised Xavier! "I think there may be a link...! Where's Moria...?" he asked, looking at Angel for answers...!
"Moria went to Muir Island not too long after you all were abducted into space...!" informed Angel, standing by Calisto's side...!
"Really...?" asked Xavier [curiously], walking over to communications to set a call into Muir Island...! "According to records that was nearly nine months ago...!" he reasoned, "You mean to tell me no one's spoken to her in all that time...? She hasn't checked IN and no one found that odd or strange...?"
Angel and Forge looked at one another...neither having had the time to look in on Dr. MacTaggert [what with all the damage done to the school by Magneto AND the students] ...! "There's no answer at the facility...!" said Xavier, after the com-line didn't connect...! "I need a TEAM..." he said instantly afterwards, sensing something amiss...! "...we're going to Muir Island...!"
Angel stayed behind as the X-Men all cleared out of Med-Lab...! "How are you feeling...?" he asked, checking Cal's vitals on digital display...! "Just relax...the auto D.O.C. will mend whatever's wrong with you...! Do you want something to drink...?" he asked, reaching out to wipe the sweat from Cal's brow...!
Cal pulled back, grasping Angel's wrist...
"Don't...!" he said, preventing Angel from touching him...!
"Wha...what's wrong...?" asked Angel [hurt], wondering what he did wrong...?
"I SAW you..." said Calisto, avoiding eye contact...! "...I saw you in the guesthouse with Banshee...! You couldn't WAIT for me to leave before you were all back up in homie's face...!"
"No...it wasn't like that..." defended Angel, realizing Cal had saw Banshee with his fist in his ass [last chap]...!
"Whateva..." snarled Cal, rolling away from his former lover...! "...we're not together anymore...you can fuck whichever of yur ex X-Men lovers you want..." he sulked, pulling the covers up over him...! "...and so can I...!"
