[color=lightblue]"Always wanted to meet you guys, but this ain't exactly how I imagined it."[/color] Superboy dragged himself to his feet, head still throbbing after meeting the business end of an optic blast. Cyclops approached on all fours, the visor fused to his skull glowing with ruby energy. He was flanked by Wolverine, Angel and a floating head in a jar that looked like Professor X. The X-Men with close to human biology were covered in metal and wires, all bolted into their bones to keep it in place. Their movements were abrupt, wrong, like their arms and legs were dragging the rest of their torso along. Their heads were stuck in metal braces and would only turn when pushed or pulled by hydraulics.

...

The head in a jar floated over to where Superboy sat. It stared down at him with empty eyes from within the greenish jelly.

[color=lightblue]"So you're the Professor, right?"[/color] He tried to make it sound like a joke, but it didn't seem very funny anymore. [color=lightblue]"Where's all the psychic stuff? You readin' my mind right now?"[/color]

It kept staring.

[color=lightblue]"I just can't tell if-"[/color]

The head exploded, scattering brain matter over the inside of its jar.

[color=lightblue]"Oh [b]JESUS CHRIST![/b]"[/color] Superboy screamed. [color=lightblue]"Really? Really?!"[/color]


...

And there he sat, covered in the remains of the X-Clones, when the intercom blared to life. "Hey, uh, sorry about all that." The scratchy-voiced guard on the other end gave an awkward laugh. "We've called off the other drones. Dr. Westfield wants you to meet him in Acquisitions. We'll, uh...we'll send a guy to lead you over there. Just try not to kill him too, okay? Sorry, that was- that was a bad joke. Timing's not...anyway. Yeah." The intercom clicked off with a buzz.

Moment of the Day!

Reminds me of the end of Die Hard where they've just blown the roof and John's looking around him as everything's on fire, the elevator dings and just explodes out of nowhere and everything around him has gone to shit.
