Doctor Doom sat in his castle in Latveria going over the book that had come into his posession during his last trip into the future.

"6 great warriors, ruling the universe in peace." He read.

"Doom is the rightful ruler of the universe." He said outloud. "Here is a clue to the first child...avatar." Doom thought to himself and instantly knew that this was the child of his arch enemy Reed Richards and Susan Storm. He is already alive, so I shall just kill the child, Doom thought to himself. Doom read the list of clues to the ones who would grow up and rule, taking them out would lead to an easier fight down the line for Doom.

1. Avatar
2. The child of a God and a Witch
3. One who controlls the magnetic and one who can never feel
4. A daywalking night creature and a person of light
5. A king and his thief queen
6. A warrior who has lost everything and a warrior who has nothing to start with


Uatu the watcher had called Reed Richards to his home on the moon and told him of the situation. Uatu also gave Richards a copy of the list that was in Doom's book.

"You must find the parents and defeat Doom or the earth will be lost to doom forever." This was the warning to Richards.

Richards sat out trying to gather information that would solve the riddle and keep the earth out of dooms controll...

The Punisher

Mobster Vito Rizzo sat in the operating room at his dentists office, waiting for Dr. Nell to return with the extra novacaine. He had come in for root canal, explaining why his jaw was being held open with the dental instruments now.

The doctor, dressed in scrubs and a surgery mask comes in the room. He picks a long spiked tool off of the tray and proceeds to rake it across Vito's gums. Vito screams in pain, muffled he asks, "Doc what about the fucking Novacaine?" The doctor ignores Vitos as he countinues to slash at his gums. Vito screams in pain, "I'll kill you you motherfucker"

The doctor backs up and pulls his mask off revealing the face of Frank Castle, the Punisher. "Alright Vito, you're going to tell me everything about your heist last week? Who did you pull it off with and what did you do with the cash?" Vito answerd, "I have no idea what your taking about."

Frank takes out a small pistol and jams it down his throat, "I'm only gonna ask you once more, then I'm gonna feed you a bullet the hard way." Frank pulls his gun out of Vito's mouth, hitting his two front teeth with the back of his gun and sending them out of his mouth.

"Alright Alright. It was for Jimmy Legs, he was jealous of Donny D's score and decided to take it from him. He told me if I didn't he would shoot me on the spot, I got no cut though man just let me go." Frank reached into Vito's pants and grabbed his wallet, revealing $3000 in cash. "No cut eh?"

"No man No NO!!!" Frank stuffed the wallet in Vito's bleeding mouth and jammed the barrle of his pistol in as well. "Your a filthy liar Vito." "Mmmph Nommp Mppph" "and I hate liars Vito!"


BANG

Janet Dumas

Janet sat there with Doom as he looked at his book. He was so proud of his new possesion. Gonna tell how to rule the world he had said. All she wanted to know was where she fit into all this. What if she wanted to rule the world.

She walked over to Doom, looking over his shoulder at the book. She put her arms around his necka nd asked..."So, we gonna start tonight?"

 

[thegenogoths]

Narrator/Spiderman

Doom replied. Not yet, we still do not know who all the parents are, when we figure that out then we shall start. Doom started feeding the clues into his database trying to figure out who the parents were.

SPIDERMAN

Reed Richards, called up Spiderman and told him about the situation. "I would like for you to take Franklin away from here and keep him safe." Richards asked. "Thats not a problem, Reed." Spiderman replied. "Who are the other parents? Do you know any of them?" Spidey asked. "I think I know 3, The god has to be Thor, the King could be Captain Britan or Black Panther, and the man with nothing to live for I believe may be the Punisher." "Punisher?" Spidey asked. Spidey had ran into Mr. Castle on more than one occasion, and knew that he was a cold man, the thought of him having a kid kind of frightened spiderman. "Ill be there in a couple of hours, Reed." Spiderman said and hung up the phone and got dressed in his suit...time to fly he thought to himself as he jumped out of his window and threw a web and was swinging away...

 

[Dark Warrior]

OOC: Now I'm getting confused. Magneto is born already, right? Hmmmmm... I'm totally confused. How old is Magneto at this point?

 

[thegenogoths]

OOC: yes magneto is born, and he is a father of one of the six, therefore doom will try to kill him so he dont have a child.

 

[Dark Warrior]

OOC: OHHH, now I get it. Sorry for sounding like a dumbass. So if Magneto is the father... that makes Rogue the mother? Wow... never would've seen that one coming.

IC: Magneto.

Magneto floated over to the window, letting his hair and cape billow behind him in the strong wind. He ignored the pitter-patter of rain and clashes of thunder that rang through the night air, his mind focused on one thing, and one thing only.
And yet, at the back of his mind, he felt something... something, probing into his conciousness, trying to warn him maybe, or trying to tell him something... something he had forgotten maybe?
He shook his head, trying to get rid of the bad spirits. He had something to do, and he needed to stay focused.

Celles

"You know, in all that train ing my dad used to give me, you would think he would of tought me something about city's." My dad had died last week. It took me that long to get to the main land.

"Pity you died dad. I guess your with that Lee guy you liked so much." I turned to a shop. They were seeling old videos fo Dinoriders. I then felt a tap on my shoulder. Turning around there was a man in a blue uniform with a gold star pinned to his black caot. "Yes can I help you sir?" "Um, mam you need a permit to carry that with you." He pointed at my sword. "What the hell is a permit?" I asked. "Very funny Miss." He then reached over to take my sword. He was trying to steal my sword.

I puched him in the stomic and then kicked himin the face. "Look I'm here in town and theives like you are going to pack up and leave." The final wish of my dad was I used my gifts for good and thats what I planed to do.

OOC: If any one needs info on my carecter its on the other page.

Ooc: If anyone needs info on my character, please visit your local theatre.


The blade glinted slightly. Inside the warehouse there was some light filtering down to the ground. Dawn wasn't quite upon them yet. Soon, twilight was already there.
They were all advancing fast. A walking pace, each of them licking their lips and cracking knuckles. They wanted nothing more than to kill him.
The last few months he had been following a group of vampires. They were beginning to travel around now, stay in groups and go from place to place, almost like nomads. He was killing them just the same.
Thse three though, they had been hunting him. A group who thought of themselves as just cocky enough to take him down.
A slight smile came to his lips, before he pursed them.
His sword at his side.
Personally, he could have just thrown a couple of stakes and been done with the whole thing. He wanted this to happen though. Might as well see what they got.
"Bring it."
A flash of black. One sped off to the far side. Blade growled, moving to a crouching position. His sword out now, his eyes glancing towards them all.
One rushed forward. His sword was out, a quick slice through open air. The man jumped high, hanging onto one of the rafters.
One of them tackled him from behind. The sword skidded across the floor, traipsing up dirt and finally coming to a stop far far away.
He cursed. The grip holding him was like steel. Planting his feet carefully, he flipped. Vampire and all he flipped onto his back. It was a hard landing, the man scramed in pain as Blade's body crashed on top of his. He could smell blood if he wasn't mistaken.
He leapt up, looking up at the rafters, the vampire now gone.
Laughter could be heard, but none could be seen.
Turning around, he saw even his landing mat had gotten up.
"Come on," he nearly growled.
One came at him with lightening speed. He ducked. His foot came out, catching the man in the stomach. He fell down, sliding on the floor, clutching himself. Blade jumped on top of him, grabbing his jacket.
One punch, two. His nose looked like raw hamburger.
From the side he heard another ascent. He leapt up, but not in time. The man got his legs, sending them both into the hard concrete floor at a bad angle.
His legs hit, hurt like hell, but then the rest of his body followed. There was a hardening crunch as he could feel his arm break. What he made wasn't a scream, more like a painful growl.
Rolling off of the vampire, he stood up. The man was right there, wiping the blood from his face.
A roundhouse proved nothing but air. He didn't want to use his arm, that would hurt like a fucking bitch. Best to try something new.
Wrestling.
He ran at him, his head lowered. With a loud snap he heard his shoulder come in contact with the man's stomach. They both fell to the floor, the vampire on his back, and Blade on top of him.
Reaching in his side pocket, he got a silver stake.
Plunged it deep into the man under him.
The body turned to a fiery dust in seconds.
Something hard hit the back of his head. He landed on the floor hard. Rolling onto his back.
Both vampires were there. One had his sword, now covered in blood.
His blood.
He felt the back of his neck. It was a clean slice, but not deep enough to do much. He would be fine in a couple of hours.
It was painful now though.
He stumbled up to his feet. Blood ran down his back, and his arm throbbed horribly. Whoever these guys were, this wasn't just a normal stop. Must be some sort of extension to the blood pack.
"You're dead day walker."
The guy through the sword with perfect provision. It hit in his side, running through deep. This time he did scream, falling down to his knees.
It was nearly up to the hilt. Blood poured onto the ground. He doubled over in pain. He was immune to the sword's silver, but it still hurt.
He concentrated on his breathing. Just for now, try to get everyhting back to normal.
They both walked up to him, huge grins across their faces. One on either side, watching the mortal enemy writhe in pain. He coughed, and spat up blood.
They each pulled out knives. Large ones, perfect enough for dwelling into flesh. This was going better than any of them imagined.
One mused, "You want light meat, or dark."
He kneeled down, grabbing Blade's chin and making him look up to his face. Blade's body shivered slightly.
"I love my job."
Blade stared at him hard trhough his glasses.
"So do I."
The sword came out, along with it a lot of blood. In an instant it was stuck right through the man's chest. The look of surprise kept with him, as he turned to dust. Without even pausing, Blade stood up, twisting his entire body. As he did, the sword came out, swiping the other man's head clean off. He too became nothing more than dust.
Blade stood there for a moment, in the warehouse. Blood steadily dripped from him, making a shallow pool before his feet. One was more forward than the other, each just barely holding him up. His position was far forward, almost about to fall down. His sword was in his hand, but the grip was very loose. The tip on the ground.
From one of the windows he could see the sun finally coming up.
"Mother fucker."
He sheathed the sword, limping outside.

 

[PmTick]

Frank drove in the van, cursing the entire time. "I fucking hate leaving the city, whydo all these mobster bad asses think if they're out of the empire state, they're safe!!" He looked over at the line of cars crossing into the Garden State. "Never thought so many people wanted to go to Jersey before."

Finally the van emerged from the Holland Tunnel, greated by the rusted buildings of Jersey City. "When I find this asshole I'm gonna kill'em twice just for making me come here."

Rogue

Xavier School of the Gifted

It's a warm sunny day at the mansion, Rogue desides to get some sun & a tan. She puts on a one piece french cut suit & grabs a towel, shades & lotion then heads outside. Exiting the building she take to the air in the direction of the lake. ::Ah wonder where everyone else is?:: She ponders, when she lands & settles her towel on the ground.

::There be nuthin' betta than relaxtion & sum sun. Only think betta is sharin' with sum one yah luv:: Rubbing lotion on to her skin, as she think. Then she put her shades on & lies back to enjoy the warmth of the solar rays. Even if it was by herself.

Spiderman

Reed Richards computer had figured out all of the clues.

1. Avatar
2. The child of a God and a Witch
3. One who controlls the magnetic and one who can never feel
4. A daywalking night creature and a person of light
5. A king and his thief queen
6. A warrior who has lost everything and a warrior who has nothing to start with

1. Franklin Richards
2. Thor and Scarlet Witch
3. Magneto and Rogue
4. Blade and Celles
5. Black Panther and Storm
6. Punisher and Black Widow

Reed Richard read down the list. "I can reach Thor, Scarlet, and Black Panther at the Avengers Mansion." he said

Reed then walked over to a telephone and called the Xavier School of the Gifted. "I understand Charles, but due to the situation it is needed to get into their heads and see if its true. Two of them are your x-men and one is your oldest foe." There was a long scilence on the phone, then finally. "Thank you Charles." Reed said and hung up the phone. He had just convinced the worlds strongest telepath to go into the minds of some on the list and make sure that what his computer was telling him was true, and to tell them about the situation that was at hand. Rogue and Storm shouldnt be a problem, but Magneto is another story.
_________________________________________________________
SPIDERMAN

I glided from rooftop to rooftop untill I reached 4 freedom plaza. I went up to the roof and there was Susan Storm.

"I figured that you wouldnt use the front door." She said to me and then showed me in.

I followed her into the lab where Reed was waiting.

"Peter I was wondering if you could get ahold of some people and tell them of the situation?" He asked me.

"Yea i guess so, who do you need me to tell." I asked

"Blade, Celles, Black Widow and the Punisher." He told me.

My heart jumped a bit at the Punishers name. He had tried to kill me on many occasions, he thought that I was a part of an organized crime ring. Blade I had only met once when he helped me defeat Morbius another vampire. Celles was new to me but I was sure that I could find her.

"Sure" I told him.

He explained what Xavier was going to do, even though he didnt like going through peoples minds without permission, the threat was great enough for him to do so. Susan brought little Franklin into the lab.

"Hey little buddy." I told him

"Hi uncle peter." He replied.

I had watched him a few times when his family went into the negative zone. He knew who I was but it didnt matter, if he really wanted to Franklin could take the barriers off of his powers and do anything he imagined he was that powerful. I knew that he had to be protected.

"Come on little buddy, we got some people to talk too." I told him
I created a web pouch, more like a backpack, that fitted onto my back and was just his size. Susan slid him in and I was on my way to meet a group of people that honestly gave me the creeps.

"Peter...please be carefull and protect Franklin." Susan told me

"Dont worry mom, ill watch over him." Franklin laughed as we jumped out the window and swung away...

Celles

OOC: I thought beating up a police officer would get atleast on hero here.

IC: "Yep only been here for a minute and it's already a better place." Now walking down the midle of the road. I thought how nice it is to have such wide stone paths. Not like the overgrown narrow paths of my island.

Cars swerved around me. "These people should learn to drive. One would think they never had someone walk down the street before." I turned to my right there was a tall man in a biness suite. Cute guy never seen one of the suites upclose before. I then ran across the street to get a better look.

The man was clean shaven. He had blond hair. All and all he was pretty cute. "Hey um, you with the suite, um, ya, do want to go do............. something." K my pick up linds need work but that dosen't matter.

 

[Dark Warrior]

Magneto

Magneto narrowed his eyes as he paced back and forth before the throne to his citadel, which was hidden on a remote island somewhere in the Pacific.
"How to get back at those meddling X-Men..." he wondered, rubbing his chin as he did. The do-gooder mutants had spoiled his plans to take power over the non-mutants more than once, and Charles Xavier...
"Curse you, Charles!" He snarled under his breath. He then strode over to his throne and sat down. He pressed a button on the arm of the chair which would summon his most trusted underlings.
"This has gone on for far too long, Charles." he thought. "And this time, my plan will not be ruined by your impudent little X-Men!"

 

[poohlive]

It took nearly an hour before he finally got back to the warehouse. By that time, most of the blood had stopped. He would need a good night's rest to heal completely. This was worse than most nights, much worse.
He'd live though.
The suped up charger roared in, stopping inside. He stepped out, wincing slightly.
"They fucked you up pretty good."
He nodded, beginning to take off his equipment. His chestplate was the first to go, the thing weighed a damn ton, and felt like wet sand over his body. Didn't do much against his sword either. He had never planned on the weapon being used against him.
Guns, vials, bottles of syrum, all placed back on the rack, ready for tomorrow.
His sword stayed though, he always had a special place for that.
"They finally caught up with me tonight," he said, walking up the stairs.
Whistler lit up a cigarette, taking a deep drag, "Fuck, that's what happened? How many were they?"
"Just three," he moved into the next room, putting the blade, sheath and all in it's place. Now he took off the rest of his clothing, all matted and covered in blood.
He needed a shower.
"Three? You're loosing your touch Blade."
He shook his head, "This was different. They had been trained, well. They knew exactly what they were doing."
"You thinkin another blood pack?"
"I'm not sure. We'll see, won't we?"
Whistler nodded, taking another drag. He paused for a moment, before jumping back into the chassey of old Mustang.
Up above, running water could be heard.

 

[PmTick]

He pulled up to the back of the pizza palor and waited to see one of the scum bags going in. He loaded his twin 9mm's, waiting to pump the assholes full of lead.

 

[ARaynes]

Janet Dumas

Janet was getting bored. "How many more do we have to locate before we can get them?"

She stood up with her hands on her shoulder absolutely fed up with waiting. "How long before we know who all the parents are?"

 

[cats]

Celles

OOC: I'll get the game going.
IC: While attempting to flirt with this guy, I noticed a shadow hanging from a wall. Truning to the side "What the hell?" I look up to see a idoit in a red suite hanging on the wall. "Now why would someone where something like that on a hot day?" The amn I was flirting with saw my sword and began to run.

"Hey don't leave me. We were going to do stuff...... together." I then sarted to run after him. This guy was way to cute to let escape. "Damn it, why can't I find a man that want to use me." I sarted gaining on him. I reached out and almost tuched his coat. I then felt a pull on my shoulder. Turning around there was a white rope extending from me to the man in red. If this guy wants my sword I'm leaveing.

 

[PmTick]

The Punisher

After waiting for nearly 4 hours finally a lim pulled up behind the pizzaria. I checked my watch, 12:30 am, seems unusal since this place closes at 9:00 pm.

I watched as two large body guards came out of the limo with Vito's brother Marco. He was really high up in the famlies ranks, touching him meant starting a war. That's what I was hoping for. I put my 9mms away and grabbed two uzis from the back. "The right tools for the right job."

I slipped my grey, light weight trenchcoat on, obscuring the uzis in my sleezes. I casullay walked into the back as if I were supposed to be there until the two bodyguards got in my face. "Excuse me but we're closed." "I'm here to talk to Marco." "Marco don't know you, if you don't walk out now, you'll limp out later."

I fired the uzis into the bodyguards bodies, watching as the both fell to the ground. Marco was standing behind them, looking me straight in the eyes. Most people would shit their pants just seeing a guy with a huge skull on his shirt, this guy looked at me like I was just another person on the street.

"Sit down skull man." I grabbed a folding chair and opened it, sitting in front of Marco. "I know why you're here. I know you killed Vito and..." Here it comes the you killed my brother now I have to blow you away speech. "...Nice work." I was shocked. "Vito was always sloppy, getting in the way and what not." He dropped a roll of money in my hand. "How would you like to do a little work for me?"

 

[thegenogoths]

Narrator/Spiderman

OOC: If you want to use people that are not being used (prof.x, doom, ect.) go ahead thats fine.

IC: Doom was at the computer partially listening to Janet ask when we would know. Doom finally stood up with a print out from his computer. "We wait no longer." Doom told her "The first to go after is Franklin Richards, and to get him we have to fight against Reed and his bunch of freaks." Doom's voice was getting louder, the hate for Richards dripping off of every word. They headed for Doom's attack ship and headed off for war.

Rogue was laying out in the sun when she heared Prof. X inside her head. "Im sorry to bother you Rogue but a situation has come up and I need to speak with you, its urgent" Storm who was in the danger room got the same message from the professor. They went into his office and found him sitting with his back to the door. "Sit down, please." He asked them. He then explained the situation to them. Storm was in shock, casue she had not told anyone that she was interested in the Black Panther. Rogue on the other hand was quite upset that anyone would think that she would or could mess around with anyone, and of all people magneto.

I grabbed the new lady by a web, Franklin had told me that this was Celles. She turned around to see what I was doing. "Are you Celles?" I asked her.

"Yes and what do you want." she replied.

"I have been sent to tell you that you are in grave danger. Someone is out to kill you. If you go to 4 freedom plaza they can explain the situation to you." I told her

She didnt answer. She pulled out this sword and cut my webbing off of her shoulder and started to run off.

"Franklin, this is going to be harder than I thought." I told the kid on my back as we swung after this woman. After a few blocks I was getting tired of playing around with her. I was close enough to her, I shot a bunch of webbing at her feet and caught her. I then started to wrap her up in webbing like a mummy. "Im sorry about this, but you dont understand the full situation here." I told her. I left her head free, then Franklin used his telepathy to tell his mom where to come and pick up the woman. In a few moments there was the fantastic jet. Susan floated down and picked up the woman who had just been screaming at me since I wrapped her up. We watched the fantastic jet take off.

"Whos next closer?" I asked Franklin.

"Frank Castle" he told me

Great just what I wanted to hear I said to myself sacrasticly as I swung in the direction that Franklin pointed...

 

[PmTick]

I found myself back in the city with Marco and his men, in back of a van. Marco had explained to me that he was fully entrenched in a turf war with two of the other families and enlisted my aide. I normally wouldn't help criminals but I figure it's better that I take out this scum rather than they try to kill each other, and wind up taking out someone's father or mother in the process. Besides I would take Marco out later.

Marco spoke to me, "Alright Frank, Joey Doughnuts likes to hang out at the Hard Rock. Fucker used to think he was a musician. See if you can get any information from him before you cap him." "Alright have your men stay here. Don't need them giving me away." "They'll wait outside, can't give you the opportunity to jump the gun can I?"

I walked straight in, past the line of tourists, past the greeter, and straight to the fat fuck eating a burger right underneath Billy Joel's Piano he used in Russia. "Hey Joey remember me?" Doughnuts was about to get up but I put my hand on his shoulder and gingerly slammed him back down. "We're gonna talk." "Fuck you, I'm not telling you anything." Frank pulled his 9mm out under the table and cocked it. "Put your hands on your seat, we're gonna have a little talk." "I told you to Fuck off!!" Frank slammed the but of his gun on Joey's index finger, breaking the bone. "..and I told you we're gonna talk. Now tell me about the plans your boss has.

Twenty minutes later, I bring Joey out with me, three fingers on his right hand is broken. I push him into the van. Marco was a little upset, "I thought I told you to kill him." "I will but he's got something big brewing. I figure we better get everything out before we kill him. Take me to this address." Frank hands the driver a piece of paper, the driver is a little shocked. "This place is in fucking Philly? What the fuck we need from there?" "I have a supply of sodium penothol there, truth serum." Marco looked at Frank and looked back at the driver. "Do what he says, the man is a professional.

Ooc: We can't make this too easy, now can we?


Melbourne Australia.
The sun was setting finally. A reddish hue was finally leaving. The harsh rays no longer directly touched the earth, twilight was beginning.
Australia was a party country, worse than most places Blade had seen in New York. Parties that were wild, horrendously wild. The bike stopped short of a sign. It was some sort of beach warning, but it was insignificant.
The glyph spray painted on it did raise a bit of a concern though. There were a couple of rumors about some crazy parties. A couple of corpses found drifting in the ocean, devoid of any fluids. They were mutilated, most people thought cause of shark attacks.
Blade knew better.
Once night had grown, many people began to show up. A huge pile of wood was forming. Supplies, as well as many cars and people came out of the woodwork. Blade simply sat there, on his bike. More would come later. The older vampires would wait until full night before they came out. Human victims as well as familiars and young vampires began piling onto the beach. Music blared from within the crowd.
In a gust of heat, fire erupted from the wood pile. The bonfire was underway.
Starting up the engine, he moved the bike down to the beach.

 

[Darklord]

A wonderful night...

He had been called by the cops to take care of a situation in the city. He hated that type of crap work, yeah it did good for his rep with the locals, but these jobs still sucked. BUT, when your Deathbane, Bad Guy Eliminator Extrodinare, you could never disappoint. "Jesus Fucking Christ!" he thought angrily as more bullets sprayed over the body of his car. "This will be the third car this week to have to go to the body shop!" he thought as he quickly assesed the damage to his Yugo, preferred method of travel of said hero. Looking over the hood, he dialed up his computer enhanced vision, easy to have when your a robot, and scanned the store front where several nutballs were holding several people hostage. Looking over at the police captain hiding behind the police cruiser next to him he asked.. "Who the hell are these guys again?"

The reply came back the officer "Society For Fur Free People, or SFFFP."
Looking at the him, Deathbane asked again "Can I kill them and get it over with?"
The reply? "NO!"
Sighing Deathbane looked at the situation and finally answered "Damn." and with that stood up, and turning to the television cameras nearby, gave a cheerful wave to his adoring public, and turning back to the store front (all the while bullets are flying around him), he turned on his built in loudspeaker.

"SFFFP, you are under orders to lay your weapons down, or force will be used!" he said.
"Fuck you! Dirty fur wearing gestapo helping bastard" was the helpful reply as a few bullets thudded into the pseudoflesh of Deathbane. It didn't hurt him at all, but the repair bill would be great.
With a smile on his human looking face, along with a roll of his pseudo fleshed metallic shoulders, Deathbane ready his gun and with a smile said "Wrong answer dirtbag."
And with that he opened fire.

A few minutes later the paramedics came in to patch together the last few people who weren't already in the hospital. As injured terrorists were carried away, Deathbane interviewed with the TV crews.
He stood there in his slightly bullet ridden three piece suit, and bullet ridden leather waistcoat and answered questions as best he could. It was then some woman in red came bursting through the Press waving a sword...

Iceman

I have seen a lot of things over the last couple years since I became a "super hero" but this is one I never thought possable.
"Frank Castle...aka. "The Punisher" looking for all the world to be buddy buddy with a bunch of wiseguys, hualing a fat slob into the back of a van for them?

Obviously somthing is going on here, and I could not resist the urge to find out what that was.

Abandoning my early morning quest for an all night espresso stand,and the refreasing latte I had hoped to start my day with I deside to follow the at a descreet distance.

We were nearly to Phillidephia when Spiderman and Franklin Richards cought up with us.

I slid the sheet of ice I was using for travel closer to where Spidey was web swinging, and gave a quick nod hello. "Fancy meeting you guys here,whats going on?"

Rogue

Xavier School of the Gifted

In Professor Xavier's office Rogue is upset at what she & Ororo are being told. "Ah'm afraid Professor that would be impossible. Magnito & Ah parted, on not the best of terms." She thinks backs, to the days when she had no powers in the Savage Land. The sharing of a touch, caress & a kiss was possible. The effection that she shared with him. "Were it be possible again for me touch someone skin to skin. He has a changed from the man Ah thought him to be." Ororo wants to comfort her but can't.

Rogue stands to leave, "Professor, do we know where Magnito is at this time?" Charles Xavier looks at the young woman standing before him. "Rogue, I understand your feelings. But in order to stop Doom, both of you ..." He looks at both ladies. "... must work together with your counterparts. Together with the others, we can create a better future for all humanity. Human & mutants alike."

He rubs his forehead, then looking at Rogue. "Using Cerebro, I could only pin-point Magnito's general location in the Pacific Ocean. You must find & convince him to join the cause." Turning to the wind rider. "Storm, I need you to goto the 4 Freedom Plaza & help Reed Richards in contacting the others." She glances at Rogue. "I understand Professor." Storm turns to head out the door.

Rogue turns to follows her, but Xavier's words stop her. "Rogue, I can not send any of the others with you. Nor will you be able to take the Blackbird. Or he will perceive it as an attack." She turns back to him. "Ah understand Professor. Ah hope Remy & the others will too." She turns & heads out of the office & to her room.

Entering her room, Rogue strips then takes a quick shower. Stepping out of the bathroom in a towel, she moves to the closet & grabs her uniform, gloves & boots then turns to see Remy standing in the shadows. "Remy!! What are ya doin' here?" He lights a cigarette then steps closer, moving a hand out to touch her but stops. "Hey Cheri, where ya goin' in a hurry?" She moves her way back to the bath.

"Ah really have no time to explain, Sugar. Xavier is sending me on a mission alone." She called out from behind the closed door, as she slips into her clothes & boots then opens the door. "If ya really want to help. Stay here. Ah have to go." Sliping on her gloves as she is talk then heading to the open balcony door. Rogue turns back for a second. "What 'eva happen, Ah still luv ya Remy." She blows him a kiss then takes flight. Gambit rushes out, "Rogue, what ya mean by dat?"
