@FantasyChic Twice in one day? Looks like Allison's powers are wanting to do a kickstart as she has another vision!
Allison's vision opens up with a man standing in an office, looking through a file. She'd easily be able to recognize him, his face was all over the news after all. Alexander Jakobsen, OMEN agent and presidential candidate. The MRA was one of his ideas, and he looked almost mad. The TV in the room was tuned to a news station and it was showing the remains of the mansion. The door flung open and a dark haired woman with a British accent entered. She had a file in her hand and she threw it down on the desk, looking at Alex with anger flashing in her eyes.
"Want to explain why I suddenly got an influx in clients wondering what the hell happened to their kids?!" "Pleasure as always to see you Jade," he replied, looking over at the TV screen. There were helicopters circling over the remains of the mansion, and it was showing several military vehicles there as well. He set the file he had been looking through down, and looked at her again.
"What makes you think I had anything to do with it?" "Cut the bullshit, Alex," Jade told him, locking eye contact. There was an engagement ring on her finger.
"You know that you can't keep secrets from me. So I'm going to give you one last chance to come clean, got it?" He let out a sigh, walking over to her.
"Alright... The goal was to test out the Sentinels... They needed a test run, and we knew that the mansion was home to a lot of mutants. No one died though, aside from some of our own agents. All of the students who were left at the school have gone into hiding probably, look, they weren't meant to kill anyone..." Alex responded, looking her in the eye.
Jade didn't say anything for a moment, before she put a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't test these things out on children. You know I agree with you - but you don't start with the innocents. You put them into a program, sterilize them, whatever...But you don't kill kids. The adults - those are the monsters that destroyed our families." "I wasn't even targeting the kids. There is a group of mutants who operate out of that school, a group known as the X-Men, I'm sure you've heard about their encounter with the Brotherhood last year. They were the targets, and Charles Xavier, the man who ran the school, is an advocate for relations between humans and mutants, and he is a threat to us." "Then kill them - can't be much harder than killing the devil," she mused, cracking a bit of a smile.
"That is indeed the plan, however, I hope to at least secure a few of them alive. To help us improve upon the Sentinels, and to run a few tests and experiments, to see what fuels their powers," he said, smiling back at her.
Lance Banner, Marygold Isley, and Mirembe Adebayo
Location: Xavier's Institute: Blackbird
Tony was silent as he listened to what Guin was saying.
"Alright, get here quickly, I'll make sure the landing pad is clear for you. Everything should be ready for you by the time you get here, and I'll warn Banner so he doesn't freak out or something when you guys arrive. See you when you get here Penguin," he said, before he hung up the phone.
"Speedy, go do one last check to make sure that everyone is here," Mary said as she got on board and headed straight for the cockpit. The two speedsters just looked at each other, confused for a moment.
"Uh, Mary? Which one of us are you talking to?" "Both of you, now go!" she snapped at them, and both of the speedsters took off running. Guin would find that the speedsters had handed her the two watches before they left though. Mary sat down in the copilot's seat, and looked over at Mira.
"You and I might want to trade chairs, though I'm guessing you know the controls on the Bird. I've flown simulators and have been up here in case of an emergency when it was on autopilot, ironically Hank and I were supposed to go out flying in this thing today," she said, as the two traded seats.
Lance looked at Dean when he spoke, and if he wasn't so tired, he'd have punched the guy in the face.
"Leave me alone, I do not like to talk about it..." he muttered, looking away from the guy. He kind of had hoped that Guin had heard Dean, since he knew that she'd happily punch the guy for him. Talking about his dad was a bit of a sore subject for him, but he said nothing more about it.
"Technically I wasn't a human shield Guin. If I was a human shield, I would have been hit by a laser and falling glass from the window..." The two speedsters returned, and everyone was on board. The older one walked over to Guin and handed her a bag that had her Walkman and tapes in it.
"We've got everyone Mary," he said, and she nodded her head. Mira went to push a button, but Mary knocked her hand away from it. She gave the ginger a confused look.
"Isn't that how we get out of here, that button should have raised the platform and opened up the doors under the tennis courts..." "That is only partially true. Those doors were added later, made it a little more convenient of an exit, however, Hank kept the original exit out of the hangar, though it means we basically are traveling a mile from the mansion, figured it would probably be a better exit in this scenario," Mary replied, before she pushed a button to raise the ramp of the Blackbird, and another that caused it to rotate 90 degrees to the right. She flipped a switch, and there was a loud clanging sound rang throughout the hangar.
"Note to self, if the hangar survives this, oil those doors," she muttered.
The doors revealed a long launchpad, and at the very far end, they would be able to see water cascading down over the exit.
"Wait, what is with the water of there?" Mira asked as she buckled in.
"That exit is covered by a waterfall, looks like the old mechanism for the doors that parted the water, so the Blackbird will get a little wet, no big deal," she replied simply. Once she saw that everyone was in and buckled, she pushed a lever forward, and the Blackbird shot off.
Future Pietro walked up to the front, there was a suggestion he wanted to make, and it bugged him slightly, and had for many years.
"Hey Mary, quick suggestion, you might want to start carrying plant seeds around or something," he said, before stepping back again.
"...That is an excellent idea, thanks for that..." she said, before she looked out the window.
"Crap, incoming! There should be a few consoles back there that help to control the weapons systems, start pushing buttons if you have to!" There was a few Sentinels flying towards them now, and she wasn't sure if they'd be able to outrun them.
