Rushing toward the steps of the BoM house, the young brunette burst through the door, searching for her team. Where WAS everyone?! She coughed heavily, still struggling to get a breathe in from the debris.
Fred came down the stairs looking bewildered "SKYE! What the fuck happened?! Where's Relina? WHERE?!" he struggled getting down the stairs, stumbling and falling to the kitchen floor "Shiiiiit...." he gasped "Everyone is freaking out! They're talking about enacting the registration act already! WHERE IS RELINA?!"
Skye closed her eyes as her palms clenched together, creating fists "I. Don't. Know." she muttered in anger "She was right behind me. Rhona, Todd and the others are who knows where. I have no idea where my brother and Gabs are.. I LITERALLY HAVE NO CLUE, FRED. STOP. ASKING. ME." she screamed with anger. "Half the team left without even checking."
She stood there with the door wide open; the hinges barely hanging on from the thrust of her boot. That was when the room grew black. There were no sounds; only a void to nowhere. Debris flew in front of her pale blue eyes as her body became paralyzed. Behind her, a pair of white, transparent hands appeared upon her temples....
**Hallo meine, liebe... Es ist eine Weile her. Sie sollten wirklich besuchen. Ich habe jetzt einen perfekten Grund. Sehen Sie, ich habe Ihren Bruder. Oh, und seine schöne Freundin auch. Sie sind so schön zusammen. Ich wünschte, du hättest mir gesagt, dass er zusammen ist.
Ich schweife ab. Wenn Sie sie wiedersehen möchten, kommen Sie gerne vorbei! Ich habe viel zu tun; Tatsächlich habe ich Pläne für sie ... dachte, dass sie vielleicht nicht so überleben wie du. Ach...
Wenn Sie nicht kommen, ist das in Ordnung, nehme ich an. Ich werde sie einfach töten.**
Translation:
"Hello, my love. You never visit. I've got a perfect reason now. You see, I have your brother. Oh, and his lovely girlfriend too. They're so lovely together. I wish you'd told me he was dating.
I digress. If you'd like to see them again, please come to visit! I've got plenty to do; in fact, I plans for them... thought they may not survive like you did. Alas...
If you don't visit, that's fine I suppose. I'll just kill them...."

She felt her cool cheeks as Darius left her mind. Opening her ice blue eyes and pressing her lips together, she reached for her leather jacket.
Everything fell silent. She couldn’t hear people asking if she was okay. She didn’t hear the rustling of people gathering to watch the tv. She didn’t hear the commotion of papers and Mystique screaming at her.
Throwing her jacket on and grabbing her helmet, she turned to Rhona, and Pyro “My father has Matt and Gabs. I’ve gotta go.” She said quickly before grabbing her keys and swinging the squeaky screen door open.
It was a warm winter’s night and the snow had melted so the roads would be safer for her. With coordinates in her head, she hopped onto her bike and stuck the key into the ignition.

Rhona watched as Skye seemed to be distracted and when she made her announcement she looked at Todd.
“Husbando I must attend Skye. A man I know better than I wish has taken her brother. I’ll return later.”
She followed Skye outside and when she put the keys in the ignition she put her hand over Skye’s.
“You know I can get us there quicker. I remember where I lived. Plus there is someone there I want to extract. I identify them as my mother.”
She waited. She knew she could physically overpower Skye but she needed her because she wanted Dr. Lackland.

Skye huffed, looking to her sister within her helmet. Pulling up the glass so she could stare into the woman’s eyes, she sneered “After you left our team to die today? No. You’re incompetent and deserve to sit and watch while I clean up the messes you and my father caused. I’ve got coordinates and I’ll get there faster than you think.” She remarked, slamming the plate back down and revving the engine.
Looking forward, she used her powers to force herself into oblivion.

This had to be irony she had heard about, mainly because she want part of Skye’s team.
“Your logic is flawed. I was not part of your team. The recent revelation of us being related doesn’t seem unlikely but considering the source.”
The show of her acting as such would lead to one outcome. She would join her brother and their friend.
“I’ll put it another way. You will be captured. Interrogated. Then promptly given to lab staff to see how they can use you to further their experiments. The state of you being alive matters very little. They made me. They can make another more compliant one of you.”

Skye shook her head, rage evident in her face. “You were accompanied by the Brotherhood of Mutants. Your loyalties are clearly your own when you would rather abandon your friends in a state of chaos. You may not be on our team, but you’ve made your intentions known. You care for no one except for yourself and your needs.”
She responded, gritting her teeth before looking to Toad “You will answer for your crimes against us. Once Mystique returns, I’m sure she will have you answer to Magneto. I wish you luck, traitor.”
Looking back to Rhona, her glassy blue eyes tore into the woman’s soul “YOU. You did not grow up with Darius. You did not endure what we had. You were not there. You have absolutely no idea. I have survived and so has Matthew. I’ve got this.” She replied lowly.
The pressure within the house because dense as the windows began to crack “I will not be responsible for the death of my brother when your team of misfits joins this fight. You will not come. You are not part of this.”

Rhona gave her the finger as she rode off. What was her deal. This was life when your dad was a sociopath that trained and molded another to be a sociopath.
“TODD! Come here please!”

Todd strolled in with a plate full of tacos, oblivious to the commotion. "Yo, sup, babycakes?" he asked non-nonchalantly. Observing her face, his smile grew into a frown. "What's wrong?! Y-y'dun wanna a divorce already?!" he exclaimed, instantly worried that she had regrets. He knew he wasn't good enough for her.
--------------------------
Nightfall came quickly as she trailed along the back roads. She didn't dare take the highway and run the risk of being pulled over. The clouds began to roll in as the air pressure rose. Lightning jetting across the sky, illuminating the deep woods for only a moment.
Keeping her mind open for communication, she waited for further instruction from her father.

As the night continued, Skye drove her motorcycle toward the compound per her father’s instructions. It wasn’t until dawn when she arrived. Stopping half a mile away, she parked her bike and removed her helmet. She needed to ready herself for the battle of her life. This was it. This was the endgame.
—————————————
Todd grabbed his keys, grabbing his new wife’s hand “You sure you wanna do this, babe?” He asked, afraid of her answer. He knew it was a ‘yes’, but there was no harm is asking a million times over “I mean, we could kick back and watch movies, yo!”

Rhona was co fused by Todd. Wait…what? He wasn’t drunk was he? That wasn’t Todd. Well I guess that was right but no divorce.
“No divorce. I need a ride though. I have to Jack a dropship. It’s in town for some parts. I remember the schedule. Thank you Darius for that. I just need you to help me.”
She knew he would be good for that. After all she found hi sweet.
“Yes and movies after. Besides Skye becoming a resident with her brother isn’t part of the plan. Plus I want to see my mom.”
She hoped that gave him incentive.

Jeff who wasn’t a tool and knew he had somewhere to be after this bullshit in DC just made use some old contacts and he was waiting as the bike shut off. She was reckless and well he expected. He had ghosted half the people he had been hanging out with since DC and was here waiting on Skye’s self motivated stupidity. He had also heard why she was here.
“So you take the bait and run to him? I get it’s your brother but this was not the play.”
Jeff’s stared at her from the darkness knowing there was at least 20-30 trained men and women below who would harm Skye.

It was cold in Gabriella's cell...she knew this was a trap. A trap for Skye. No way to communicate. And no way out. here she was alone and unable to do anything. She also couldn't feel the presence of any life-giving plants. This was a problem. And not a small one. She wasn't strong enough and she knew it. She looked around. She looked around in the compound. "Matt?" she called out. Her memory was blurry but she vauguly remembered him being captured with her...which made her frantic. Was he here? Was he killed? She shook the bars again in order to speak to someone....Anyone

By the time Reggie dropped him at their designated drop point, Kayne's stomach was in knots. It had hit him about halfway to their destination where they were headed. Apprehension wasn't something he felt often, but the thought of going back to the place he'd fled only several months ago made him feel like throwing up.
He took a moment to get his shit together. He was here to do a job. Jeff had promised a hell of a paycheck, and he wasn't about to tarnish his record, or reputation, because he couldn't get out of his own head.
With a clear head and the nausea gone, he walked down the quiet road towards the compound that for years he viewed as a prison. He saw the small group of people that had formed about a half a mile away from the compound. Two women he did not recognize, and Jeff.
"Thanks for the heads up," he said dryly as he approached Jeff, holding his hand out to shake the older man's.

Wanda had witnessed the marriage of Todd and Rhona. She made her way back to her father’s house after DC and the chaos that happened. She stayed in her room as she got flashes from the aftermath. Her hands crossed over her stomach as she came to grips that many people either got seriously hurt, even died in the explosion. It easily could have been her as she was thankful that Aaron had come. Now her powers were like a death sentence as it marked her as different, one of them as the new legislation was all but a sure thing
The yelling outside caused her to pull back the dark curtains. She glanced down as Skye yelled at Rhona. The dark haired woman had a point about team abandonment. She had done that as well to some degree. For her, she never liked the idea of killing to achieve a goal. Her father was wrong about that as history often showed. She watched as Skye took off on her bike into the night. Where it would take other’s a long time to mobilize, Wanda would follow from far above.
The noise of the bike filled the air on an otherwise silent scene in the forest. She followed through the twisting road as she noticed other flashes of light. Skye was going into a trap and she knew it. Matt and Gabs being kidnapped was bad as the woman was running on pure emotion. Unlike some of the others, she knew what that felt like. There was a strange pressure in the back of her head, like she truly knew what it felt like to want revenge on one’s father. It was an odd thought that she would deal with later.
As Syke pulled up to the compound, she could hear a male’s voice and then Gabs. She shook her head as she landed next to them. She looked at the two she didn’t recognize as she shrugged her shoulders. They were not her worry tonight.
She cleared her throat as she stood facing Skye, “Did you think that you would be doing this alone? Even if the others had not come, I would still be here.” Her eyes narrowed as she took a step closer. “Now, what was your plan once you got here? You do realize that Darius was not going to let you just waltz right in and roll over to your demands. He is going to capture and torture you just like your brother and Gabs. There is help, I suggest you use it willingly or else find yourself taken out of the fight.”
The threat was subtle yet there. Most of her team didn’t realize how deep her powers ran. She kept it under wraps for she didn’t want to be used. A light red glow could be seen coming from her hands as she readied for whatever answer came.
Dee was in her usual spot in the tree. She had given her report to Jeff as to how many armed troops there were. She knew it was serious as she heard hard words. She crutched lower as she watched with interest. She really wished that she had peanuts for the fight that might be happening. What no one else here knew, Darius had been a part of the plot that killed her parents. While she was often sad, she knew that Jeff was the best thing to happen to her since then. She would move out once given the word.

Todd shuttered “I guess I’m still insecure about the past. Old habit die hard, babe. I’m sorry.” He whispered sadly. He still couldn’t believe he landed a strong, beautiful, and smart woman like Rhona. Maybe he was worthy after all. He couldn’t wait to show her his abilities in this. This excited him. Whipping out the keys to Lance’s jeep, he grinned “Get in, babe! Let’s ride!
——————————
Matt woke with a splitting headache. He had been heated and collared. He could couldn’t even rub his black eye as his wrists to tethered to an Adamantium pole. In fact, the entire cell was made of the metal alloy.
Looking down to his shirtless, beaten torso, he noticed tubes inserted into his flesh. His heart stopped. He was being drained. Darius was draining him slowly, taking his cells to do god knows what. He coughed loudly, spurting out a wad of dried blood and one of his canines. “G-Gabs? You here?” He asked softly, unable to speak any louder. He heard a whine from the other side. It was soft; gentle. “GABS?!” He yelled louder, but wincing from the pain in his chest.
**Matthew, save your strength. We’ll need it later** His snide, dry voice rang through the man’s ears, raising the veins in his temples. This wasn’t his father. It was a monster.
“Gabs, baby, I’m here. Stay strong…imma —cough— imma get us outa here.” ——————————
Unzipping her leather and removing her helmet, she barely turned around to meet Jeff’s disappointed gaze “I’m sorry that I’m not perfect. You know as well as I do, rage runs in this family. I’m not going to lose the only person I have left.” She growled, pointing to the compound “My father died when he realized he was one of us. He killed my mom, and now he’s going to kill Matt. I couldn’t think. I left him behind before. I’m not leaving him ever again.” She responded, her eyes lit with rage.
Looking to Wanda, she shrugged “I am sorry, Wanda. I…I know it wasn’t the right choice, but…I have to stop him.”
Looking to Jeff and Reggie, she sighed heavily “Can we spare the dreaming lectures until after we blow this shit up? I ain’t an idiot. Let’s get a game plan and quick. I’ve got a bad feeling about this.”
