[color=A4FFFC]"Well alright let's try this out then,"[/color] she said as she started to use her powers, before there was the sound of a gunshot that just barely missed her head, hitting the wall by her, and the one to fire it, and who had been the one who was clearly aiming for her head. Was none other then Belladonna. [color=A4FFFC]"...What the hell?"[/color] Sapphire said, her eyes growing wide at that. [color=CFABB1]"Are you surprised? I did join the Sisterhood, Regan came to me and offered me a place there. It was a better offer then playing superhero."[/color] she responded, before she sent another few shots at her. Sapphire threw up a shield of ice, but after the first few shots the shield shattered as a bullet ripped through it and slammed into her stomach, knocking her to the ground. Andrew meanwhile glanced over at Bella, before he fired off a shot at her with the blaster he was carrying, managing to hit her with enough force to knock her down to the ground too. [color=303DFF]"How about you stay down,"[/color] he said towards her, his words slow as he spoke each one carefully, as if thinking about what he was saying. [color=88A86B]"Well now this is more fun,"[/color] Deathstrike said, before she whirled around, claws out and slashed at Evelyn, resulting in her arms having long deep gashes on them. As Deathstrike looked at her with a smirk, the injuries that Evelyn had caused were quickly healing already. [color=318100]"Okay, no one messes with my sister!"[/color] Mastermind said, before Watts would suddenly just see [i]everyone[/i] as her, there were multiples of her and everyone else was completely gone from his view, and he only saw her. [color=8C2323]"Oh right, you. Harrison's bastard son, surprised you seem to care about him considering you didn't really know he was your father correct?"[/color] Madelyn said with a smirk, before Arthur would feel a shot of pain go throughout his entire head. The pain also wasn't just your typical headache or just shot of pain, it was continuous, and it wasn't going away, at all it seemed like. Evelyn cried out in pain as Lady Deathstrike managed to cut into her arms and stumbled backwards looking down at the deep gashes in her arms, knowing that they'd leave nasty scars whenever they healed up, she turned to look at Belladonna with a surprised look. She thought that she could have trusted Bella on the team, but apparently she was against them the entire time. She backed up slightly and glared at the woman as she pulled out one of her throwing knives, and threw it as hard as she could. Managing to lodge itself into her eye, seeing the nasty hole that was left behind as well, surprisingly she was still standing. Casey stared at Belladonna at her betrayal, but turned her focus more towards Madalyne Piror who was what looked to be the bigger threat at the moment and aimed her blaster rifle at the woman, and fired off five shots. Two of them managed to hurt the woman pretty badly, before three of them were blocked by a forcefield. Arthur's head was pounding. The others seemed surprised at Bella's betrayal. Arthur didn't really care. He wasn't part of this team. They just conveniently had aligned interests for the time being. [color=107532]"You tried to kill me. You should have made sure I was dead!"[/color] Arthur growled at Pryor. He let arrows fly. Three of them hit Pryor in the stomach. She stumbled slightly, but it didn't take her out. The more she refused to die, the more he became fixated on her, to the point that he ignored everything else. Watts laughed in Mastermind's face. [color=CFC500]"Your sister's dead,"[/color] he taunted her darkly. He didn't care that everything looked to be copies of Mastermind. No, he was the smartest man in the world, if not the universe. It wasn't particularly hard to be the smartest one in the Mojo-verse at least. He rushed off at superspeed, punching every copy of Mastermind as hard as he could. On the third strike, he hit the right one, a triumphant smirk on his face. [color=318100]"Maybe you should pay attention to who you actually ended up hitting,"[/color] she said, blood coming from her nose and she pointed behind Watts. He had ended up hitting Evelyn and Andrew, with enough force to knock them both back down onto the ground, and blood was coming from their heads somewhat. [color=303DFF]"What the hell Watts?"[/color] Andrew said, clearly a bit annoyed with that. [color=303DFF]"Pretty sure I don't need anymore head injuries!"[/color] With those words he fired a shot at Mastermind, knocking her backwards a bit, before he got up off the ground. [color=303DFF]"Watch where you're going next time."[/color] His words weren't as stoic or slow anymore, so that probably was a good thing right? Deathstrike took the opportunity that Watts knocking Evelyn down had given her and slashed at her again, despite only having one eye at the moment, she was able to slash at her legs, causing them to bleed as well, almost as if she was waiting a little bit to actually go for a kill shot. [color=8C2323]"Perhaps you should learn how to kill people better,"[/color] she responded coldly, before using her telekinesis she threw his bow out of his hand and threw him up to the ceiling, before sending him crashing back down again, and repeating the motion several times. Arthur would find himself getting banged up considerably, so he likely was going to have more then a few bruises and probably a horrible headache after all of this. However she stopped and he dropped to the ground, as the floor around her turned to ice, freezing her feet in place. [color=A4FFFC]"How about you shut the hell up you bitch,"[/color] Sapphire sputtered out, coughing as frost emanated from her hand, which was on the floor and there was a trail of ice that went straight to Pryor, holding her in place. She was against killing people unless they absolutely had to, it was a fear of hers that she has had for years, but she found she could deal with it better at least if she wasn't the one pulling the trigger. Evelyn groaned loudly as she was hit by Watts her head started to ring slightly running a hand through her hair, as she felt some blood on her forehead. [color=CD5C5C]"What the hell Watts, we are on the same team."[/color] Evelyn said as she groaned loudly in pain as Deathstrike managed to cut her legs, she stumbled back up to her feet. She tried to lunge forward with her knife in hand, only to get the wind knocked out of her getting kicked in the stomach. Casey watched as Watts went in and attacked two members of their team, and hitting Mastermind, and then Pryor started to fling Arthur around like a ragdoll. She aimed her rifle at Mastermind and fired off five rounds, two of the missed but three of them managed to hit her in the stomach, knocking her down. Her attention fully turned towards Pryor and fired off five more rounds, four missed but one managed to get through and hit her in the stomach. [color=LightSlateGray]"You don't really look to good."[/color] Casey pointed out. Arthur groaned a bit, slowly picking himself up off of the ground. Every bone in his body was screaming, as if they had been coated in gasoline and then set on fire. Revenge was a powerful motivator though. The desire to see his father avenged helped him to rise up from the ground. It drove him to pull out his hunting knife and leap at Madalyne Pryor, slamming into her and stabbing her repeatedly with the knife until finally, [i]finally[/i], she took her last breath. [color=107532]"That was for Harrison Snow,"[/color] Arthur growled, a bit feral. Watts blinked, realizing what had happened. [color=CFC500]"She made me think you were her,"[/color] he told his teammates. It was the closest thing to an apology he would ever give. He would, however, strive to make things right. He walked up to the fallen Mastermind and stomped on her neck repeatedly. On the third stomp, she finally was knocked out - or dead, he didn't really care which. [color=303DFF]"Whatever you say Watts, my head already felt like it went through a blender so a high speed fist to the face doesn't exactly help."[/color] he commented as he saw that everyone either was unconscious or dead, well, except for one person, and that was Lady Deathstrike. Sapphire meanwhile was managing to pick herself up off of the ground, but her shirt was covered in a lot of blood, as the shot she had taken from Belladonna seemed to have hit something vital, but she was still moving, and awake, so that was all that really mattered. [color=A4FFFC]"I am getting sick and tired of you people at this rate,"[/color] she managed to say, before a dagger of ice appeared in her hand and she fired it off, and it went straight through Deathstrike's chest. [color=88A86B]"Now isn't that just rude,"[/color] she said as she glanced at the hole that was now in her chest, much like her other injuries, it was starting to heal somewhat, however it was much slower now due to the cold that Sapphire had caused. She whirled around and slashed again at Evelyn, only hitting her in the arm once again. Whirling again, she slashed a few times at Casey, managing to slice across her chest several times, causing her to bleed a lot and it would hurt like hell, if it isn't treated soon she might start getting dizzy. She kicked Arthur in the stomach before she slashed him across the face and once more across the chest, blood coming from his injuries from her claw strikes. Watts lucked out as he'd be able to dodge out of the way of her attacks. Andrew much like Evelyn only really got a claw to the arm, causing it to bleed. Sapphire got hit the worst as Deathstrike charged right at her and ran her through with her claws. [color=88A86B]"How about you just die then?"[/color] [color=A4FFFC]"How about you freeze,"[/color] she coughed, blood coming from her mouth as she put her hands on Deathstrike, frost emanating from them and the others would see Deathstrike turning into a [i]very[/i] large popsicle, before she ended up falling to the ground with a loud crash. When her body hit the ground, her arms and legs more or less shattered, breaking away from the rest of her body. Odds were that she wasn't dead, but it was [i]definitely[/i] going to take her a while to heal from that one. Sapphire said nothing as she collapsed to the ground again, completely passed out due to blood loss at this point, as the puddle of blood around her started growing a lot bigger. Evelyn groaned loudly as she was hit again in the arm by Deathstrike, she was the only one who remained standing for the most part as she went in and attacked everyone. She went for Sapphire, who had taken the brunt of everything and quickly ran over towards her as she fell to the ground from the blood loss. Evelyn turned to look over at Watts who was the only other person who had any kind of medical experience other than Sapphire. [color=CD5C5C]"Watts we need to get her treated as quickly as possible."[/color] She said as she tried to apply pressure on the wounds. Casey started to feel very dizzy as she stumbled over towards a nearby wall and leaned on it for support, looking down at her bloodied shirt. She shook her head slightly trying to stay up a little bit longer, Sapphire had the worse injuries out of all of them, breathing slightly and looking a little bit pale as well from the blood loss. Arthur had fulfilled his life's purpose. The fight left his body as he collapsed onto the ground, bleeding from the face and chest thanks to Lady Deathstrike and the injuries he had sustained earlier. He didn't care if he lived or died at this point. He just wanted to go to sleep, comforted with the knowledge the Sisterhood had been destroyed. His father could rest now. [color=CFC500]"SPIRAL WE NEED YOU NOW GODDAMNIT!"[/color] Watts roared. Sapphire needed an actual medical facility - there wasn't much they could do for her on the fly. Her only other option, if Spiral failed to appear, would be to inject her with the speed serum in order to increase her body's natural healing processes. No one seemed to answer Watts' yell for the moment, before there was a swirl of purple light and a voice spoke out, [color=D3BEEA]"I'm right here,"[/color] Spiral said, before stepping out of the portal, looking at the group, and at the carnage that had happened in the area. [color=D3BEEA]"Looks like you seem to have succeeded in what you were attempting to do, taking out what remained of the Sisterhood, and you are back to your normal selves, which is definitely an improvement over you lot being stuck as children I suppose."[/color] [color=303DFF]"...Uh, okay, that's all fine, nice to talk about, but mind getting us out of here maybe?"[/color] Andrew said, knowing perfectly well that they [i]really[/i] needed to get going, otherwise Sapphire likely was going to bleed out while they stood there talking. [color=D3BEEA]"Of course, anywhere in particular?"[/color] [color=303DFF]"...Anywhere on Earth preferably a hospital or something!"[/color] [color=D3BEEA]"Very well,"[/color] she said, before a portal opened up for them. [color=D3BEEA]"I decided to make it easier for you, should take you back to Serval Industries and the medical facilities there, now go before more of Mojo's soldiers show up and decide to try and kill you all again or something like that."[/color] Evelyn watched as Spiral came through the portal and stared at her for a moment as she walked over and helped Casey up to her feet and leaned on her for some support. [color=CD5C5C]"If i'm being honest I've had enough of this place already."[/color] Evelyn said as Spiral held open a portal for them and stepped through and into the medical facilities at Serval, Evelyn helped Casey down onto one of the nearby medical bed as well, and looked over at the portal waiting for the others to get through. [color=CFC500]"If I never see you again, Spiral, it'll be too damn soon,"[/color] Watts warned. He picked up Sapphire and ran her on through the portal at superhuman speed. He dashed into medical and put her down on the bed, ignoring the wide eyed Serval employees who were present. He didn't care if they were staring at him. What mattered was stabilizing Sapphire. Arthur picked himself up and went on through the portal slowly. He didn't rush into medical like the others did, even with his extensive injuries. He didn't feel welcome here. The Sisterhood had been right about one thing - he hadn't known his father. This place was strange to him. [color=D3BEEA]"I hope we don't run into one another again then,"[/color] she responded to Watts as he took off. Andrew followed through the portal and it shut behind him. He looked over at Arthur once he was through. [color=303DFF]"Hey, need a hand or something?"[/color] he asked, noticing that his injuries were pretty bad, most of the group (aside from Watts) had taken a beating. "Excuse me Dr. Watts..." one of the people spoke up to him. "Where have you all been? You disappeared over a month ago..." Evelyn turned towards one of the doctors that addressed Watts, and looked over at the others it hadn't even felt like it was a day since they were taken there. [color=CD5C5C]"That's a really long story."[/color] Evelyn said as Casey looked just as confused as well, it couldn't have been over a month at all. [color=LightSlateGray]"What is the exact date right now?"[/color] Casey asked sounding very confused as well. Watts was busying himself with Sapphire. He patched up her wounds as best as he could, before prepping and beginning a blood transfusion. His speed was assisting him to work faster than was humanly possible. Only once he had finally completed his task and gotten Sapphire to a position where he was confident she was stable did he stop to reply. [color=CFC500]"What's your name? Tell me it. NOW. I WANT TO KNOW WHO THE HELL THINKS THAT ASKING DETAILS LIKE THAT ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN SAVING SOMEONE'S GODDAMN LIFE?!?!?!"[/color] Watts screamed at the employee. Arthur glanced at Andrew. For a moment, he was going to say no, to refuse medical care and just allow himself to die. [color=107532]"...Yes. Just... just don't tell them who I am,"[/color] he pleaded quietly. [color=303DFF]"Alright, just follow my lead and go with it okay?"[/color] Andrew said, not even questioning why Arthur didn't want anyone to know who he was or whatever. In his mind it wasn't his place to ask. He grabbed Arthur's arm and led him over to an open medical bed. The employee who Watts yelled at sort of shrunk away from Watts while another one went to see about patching up Evelyn and Casey, and one went towards Andrew and Arthur. "It's April 2nd, 2018," one responded. [color=303DFF]"...The last day I remember was in like, January or something..."[/color] "You were thought to be dead, and who is this? I don't recognize him." [color=303DFF]"This is my cousin, kind of dumb luck he ended up in the same place us, or really bad luck depending on how you view it," [/color]Andrew responded immediately without skipping a beat. He hoped that the others would get the hint and not reveal really who Arthur was. Evelyn moved over towards a nearby table letting one of the doctors treat her wounds, she didn't really argue or fight against it really either as she watched Watts tending to Sapphire who was in the worse shape out of everyone though she felt like Watts suddenly snapping wasn't a really good thing. Casey remained quiet as they tended to her wounds as well she looked at Andrew and Arthur and then over at the doctor easily picking up on it and nodded. [color=CD5C5C]"Who has been in charge of everything since we have been gone?"[/color] Evelyn asked. [color=CFC500]"Clearly an imbecile, given the level of idiocy going on in here!!!"[/color] [color=107532]"I'm Oliver,"[/color] Arthur introduced himself, groaning as he shifted lightly. The wounds covering his body and face were rather bad, the pain at the very least was keeping him grounded and centered to reality - at least for now. "Actually there isn't anyone really in charge. They've been trying to find someone but ever since Harrison's death and the suspicious circumstances surrounding our last CEO no one wants the job." the man by Evelyn spoke, finishing patching up her injuries. "Yeah, people believe the job to be cursed or something like that." another said. [color=303DFF]"...Okay that just sounds beyond weird."[/color] "Well that's how things have been for the past weeks now." he responded, before the entire group had finished patching up the injuries of the group. [color=303DFF]"I keep forgetting that sometimes the world seems to get crazier every day..."[/color] [color=CD5C5C]"Well aren't Rogue and Gambit somewhere nearby or something?"[/color] Evelyn asked once she was patched up she stood up slightly looking at them they were at least with them at the Sisterhood base before they were all taken away. Watts rolled his eyes, snorting slightly. [color=CFC500]"Please. Once I unveil my latest line of experiments, the company will have a buyer interested. I wouldn't worry about any of this curse bullshit."[/color]
