Captives for the Elite Strike Force Holding Cell
The white room, large enough for twenty or so people to comfortably fit within the walls, was empty except for May, who nervously glanced about in a panic.. She wasn't here before.. was she? Or had the demon captured her earlier she just dreamed of escaping and meeting the other person.. where was she? What was going to happen to her.. fearfully May leapt onto the wall, climbing up a few meters, it was 6 meters high, so she had some swinging room if she wanted to get away from someone quickly.
She had only made it up to the ceiling by the time that Cole and Ray had arrived, her heading looking down towards them, her red hair partially getting into her way as it dangled upside from where she sat on the ceiling. Watching as Cole pushed Ray away from him, disappearing instantly from sight, causing May to nervously look about incase he appeared near her. Standing up, a webline sticking to the roof and slowly lowering herself towards the ground, she dropped the last few meters, landing easily on her feet and creeping towards the guy who had talked with her earlier. Her hand reached out and nudged at his shoulder as she whispered in a quiet voice..
"Black.." Lightly nudging him again before quickly withdrawing her hand as if worried he might take it off for disturbing him, she watched timidly and waited to see if he was alright.
Re: Captives for the Elite Strike Force Holding Cell
Ther doors in the far end of the large square white room slid open, a darkly dressed female being carried in by two guards, another two men behind them holding weapons towards the other captives. Even if they where over powered and these captives made it outside of the cell, there was only more tunnels and there was no way out of the basement other then teleporting. Though none of the captives where ever told this, though some figured it out in the last break out..
After damping the white braided haired girl to the ground, they turned and hurried out, leaving the lightly drugged genetically creature mutant to groan slightly as she pushed herself from the floor to try and sit up. Oraya had to take a moment to recover from the dazed effects caused by the drugs she had been shot with. One minute the fire mutant was dealing with a group of troublesome humans, the next she was surrounded by strange people and one opened fire on her..
Placing a faintly trembling hand over her tired face, Oraya gently shook her head before realizing there where others in the room with her. Hearing the faintest noise she quickly snapped her attention over towards a boy and a girl, the girl seemed highly nervous, the boy seemed as if he was recovering from an attack. The fire mutant quickly got to her feet, ignoring the wave of dizziness that swept over her for the minute so she could focus entirely on these other creatures in this room with her.
"And whom are you?" Her voice demanded an instant response, her bright blue eyes glaring at both figures as if expecting them to lung towards her. Her black leather gloved hands clenched tightly together as she began to hover slightly off the ground, a shimmer of light dancing across her body as if a rainbow of coloured glitter was gently flowing from her tanned skin.. fading away seconds later. Oraya had spent much of her childhood as a captive of Sinister's labs.. along with many other's like her, she did not escape their clutches so recently just to fall back into the hands of another group. She was determined to figure out what exactly was going on, and why she had been brought here, and she wanted to know these answers now!
Her long braided hair flowed gently down her back, swaying slightly as she hovered off the ground, some strands of braided hair fell over her shoulders, but she was too focused to realize and brush them aside like she usually did in annoyance. Her black cape also hangfrom her shoulders, the tips of its bottom lightly stroking against the floor since she hovered so closely to the ground.
Re: Captives for the Elite Strike Force Holding Cell
Appearing once again, Cole brought another two mutant to be held here .. one of which however was only pretending to be the girl Cole had wanted. Not wanting to risk having any questions - or powers - thrown at him, Belthazor simply appeared, dropped Connor in here, and left with 'Madison' - who was really a mutant shapshifter called Talia.
Connor struggled angrily to his feet, his metalic claws slicing through his knuckles as he quickly glanced about, on hand pointed towards Oraya, the darkly dressed mutant who hovered slightly off the ground and his other clawed hand pointed towards the two symbiont hosts. He was older then he looked by a few years, before he arrived here his sister and he where attacked by an age altering demmon known as Jool. The 18 year old now appeared only to be 14-15 years of age, something that he had not yet realized, nor would care about at this moment.. his sister was in trouble and he wanted to know what was going on!
"Who are you?" He demanded urgently, the young son of Wolverine quickly glancing about the confines of the room once again as he waited for their reply.
Re: Captives for the Elite Strike Force Holding Cell
Syndicate knew his attack had a very low hit percentage against the demon teleporter, but he didn't know the outcome of their skirmish would be how it was. He ran this senario through his mind before releasing his energy blast, but didn't expect it to happen.
Before he knew it, he was taken from the rooftop and into some strange room. Looking around, he spots the young woman he was talking to earlier was also captured. It seemed like she was concerned about him, which was the opposite of what happened on the roof. He'd smile, but there was no time for that. She nudges him, then mutters the words "Black..", which at the moment had no meaning to him. He nods, then sighs as he spots another, a young woman with white hair now in the room with them.
"And whom are you?"
Catching the tone of her voice, Ray could tell she wanted a response right then. Her tone seemed rude in his eyes. Rudeness was something he didn't want to experience right then. "What does our identity have to do with anything at this moment?" he asks, as his skin-laced symbiote seems to vibrate in excitement. It quickly dies down, then seeps into his body, revealing him slim, but toned body. His hair was waving in front of his face, but he could care less. Between the strands, slanted, angry eyes could still be seen, so his point was still made. "If you really need to know who I am, my name is Ray Stenbuck."
Just then, Ray notices another young man, who seemed to also be a captive, whose clawed hands were pointing in his direction. Ray shakes his head and sighs. A day that just started out as a aimless, inane web-slinging session turned into him being tackled by a strange girl, captured by some strange teleporter, only to be greeted by two people who didn't seem at all to be friendly. Energy bolts surround his hands as they quickly form two "solid" orbs. His eyes pulsate a bright yellow as he stares at both of them. "Now, what's with all this rude attitudes!? And why the hell are you taking your anger out on us!?"
Re: Captives for the Elite Strike Force Holding Cell
The outburst caught Connor by surprise, and he glanced about more carefully at the others.. so they weren't with Cole.. then they must be captives as he was. The young looking boy had already gained another year of his stolen age, returning to being about 15-16, not that much difference would have been noticed at all by the others. Connor allowed his arms to slowly drop as his eyes searched over them with a hint of confusion, the claws sliding back into his knuckles with a 'snickt' sound.
"..You're not with them?" He stated rather slowly, last time Connor and his sister where brought here, they where surrounded by A.Corp goons, now he seems to be held captive with the rest of the captives.
"I'm not taking out my anger on anyone.. my sister and I where just attacked.. and then.." He glanced around once more, staring down at his knuckles as the broken skin began to heal.
"Then suddenly I was here.. I thought you might be the welcoming commitee.. Ray Stenbuck?" Connor looked over him and the strangly dressed red suited girl beside him, she seemed very nervous about all this..
"I'm Connor Enright." He glanced over at the hovering female, taking a few steps towards the other boys direction, he didn't understand what was going on.. where was his sister? What where they going to do with her.. he wanted to know where they had taken her!
"Our kidnapping was witnessed, people will come for us.." But when? He believed they would.. but he wasn't sure how long this group would have to wait before the X-Men managed to get here.. What if Madison was already hurt badly before the X-Men arrived?
"I don't understand.. what are you all doing here.. you can't all be part of Project Alpha 9.." He spoke mostly to himself, a more quiet tone used before he then stared over towards Oraya. There was something aobut that mutant that reminded his of his teacher Storm, but then again even Tempest reminded him of Storm, anyone with white hair usually did. His eyes travelled back to Ray and May.. they where all mutants.. this he could tell right away at first glance..
"Perhaps it is our identities that are the reasons we are here, I know it is why my sister and I where brought here.. they targeted us because of our father.." As if hoping that might help others remember important events that might have caused this group to hunt them down and capture them, Connor curiously studied the other faces.
Re: Captives for the Elite Strike Force Holding Cell
(ooc-Hey, top posters get prize siggies made for them..*Points to Ray's name in Top Posters section of side bar*.. I did one for you.. I'm not sure if you'll like it, but I gave it a shot! You don't have to use it, coz the sig you got is nice as it is. *Wonders if anyone can tell she's nervous of handing out random siggies* Anywho, if you like the siggy, you are most welcome to use it, if not, it just slips away into the corners of our minds to forever be forgotten.. >_>.. Click here to see Siggy designed by Angela for Ray)
The child of the infamous 'Spiderman' had remained crouching low on the ground when Ray had stood to his feet, demanding why everyone was acting so hostile. May allowed her slender figners to firmly press against where her ears where hidden under the red mask to drown out the yelling. She didn't like all the loud noise, but at the same time she didn't want to speak and demand them to be quiet. Sin's body seemed to try and hide bhind Ray's legs as he talked with Connor, staying a feet or two behind where Ray stood.
Moving from her knees, now balancing on her toes though she remained curled in her sitting position, her hidden eyes glancing from one captive to the other. Her soft voice could be heard mumbling, though the words - if any where spoken - where muffled so badly they couldn't be understood even if one where to try and listen carefully to her.
Re: Captives for the Elite Strike Force Holding Cellooc: Oh, pretty sig. Thank you!! *hug*
This strange man's newfound calm expression brought a sense of safety to Ray. At least now he knew this fight could be avoided. Besides, being sliced up by a man with claws isn't something he wanted to experience anytime soon, especially after his "fight" with a man who does nothing but teleport and shoot fire.
"..You're not with them?"
"No," spouts Ray, his energy charges evaporating in the air. Slowly rotating his head, he looks down at May, who doesn't seem to be calming down, but actually trying to shield herself from the noise the two men were creating with their yelling. Since things were quieting down, he hoped things would get better. He stood and listened to Connor's summary of of what happened to him before he was captured, and nods along.
"Well, nice to meet you Connor. I guess I'm the only one who just got captured just because," Ray glances down to May once again, who was still crouched down on the ground. He doesn't understand why she's always doing that, but he guesses that she feels safer that way, so he thinks nothing more of it and turns back to Connor. "I was just taken because I attempted to protect her," the symbiotic boy says as he points down towards Sin, "I don't know why they wanted her though. When I talked to her, she didn't seem to explain much. Even worse, no one saw us kidnapped from what I know, and only my mom will know I'm gone, and she won't realize it for a few days. I was going to Xavier's, and I think this girl was too."
Taking a look down to May, hearing something come from her mouth, wonders about what she said, if anything since it wasn't clearly heard by him. Then, after a thought crosses his mind, he once again turns to Connor. "What's Project Alpha 9?"
Re: Captives for the Elite Strike Force Holding Cell"Well, nice to meet you Connor. I guess I'm the only one who just got captured just because," The other boy, Ray, had stated in reponse to Connor's observation, the young Wolverine watched as Ray looked down at the squatting girl. Where they together, related, he partly found him wondering why she was hiding from them like.. maybe his claws had scared her?
"I was just taken because I attempted to protect her... I don't know why they wanted her though. When I talked to her, she didn't seem to explain much..." Glancing back at the girl as Syndicate motioned towards her, Connor then looked back up at Ray as he continued.
"...I was going to Xavier's, and I think this girl was too." Both boys seemed to peer downwards towards May as she began to murmer something that even Connor's sensitive hearing couldn't even pick up.
"What's Project Alpha 9?" Slowly Connor's eyes travelled back up towards Ray's, before dropping towards the ground in front of his feet as his thumb ran across his knuckles. Clenching his fists closed, he held them out, pointing them partially down towards the ground, his still sore knuckles screamed in pain as his claws sliced through his skin again. The slight flinch in his arms being the only clue that it had hurt, he raised them slowly, his eyes scanning over the blades before looking back over at Ray and letting them slide back into their hidden places within his knuckles.
"They just used to be bone.." His eyes watched as the skin began to heal instantly, though a reddish tint of his sore skin remained, the fresh smear of blood that had began to seep from the wounds only faint and easily rubbed away with his thumbs.
"A week ago my Sister and I where taken, our father was part of an experiment on mutants that this place wanted to recreated, our healing factor helps us to survive where most where killed." He looked over towards Oraya.. he didn't like opening up about personal matters like this.. but they where all in trouble.. and they deserved to know what kind of trouble it was.
"These people experiment on Mutants.." He stated rather bluntly, though his eyes had moved towards the door anxiously. It was for some reason hard for Connor to say 'Alpha 9 was kidnapping and experimenting on me and my sister.' But he tried to say it.. it was easily understood, even if it was rather vague..
Re: Captives for the Elite Strike Force Holding Cell
Listening as Ray explained everything to Connor, May shifted nervously about behind the other symbiote host... "I was just taken because I attempted to protect her," ... May stared hard down at the ground when he said this. It was her fault he was here.. it was her fault something bad might happen to him.. just like it was her fault her parents died. If she had given up charging around as SpiderGirl then her father might have never decided to take back up his web-slinging again.
"These people experiment on Mutants.." May glanced up at Connor as he said that, her symbiote disappearing into her skin, her red and blue Spider costume that she was wearing earlier now seen. Her red hair framed the side of her face as she covered her hazel eyes to hide the tears that began to fill within them, it was her fault he was in danger like this.. Ray said it so himself..
"Our fault.." Her whisper was very soft as she repeated it out loud to herself, her hands slowly pulling away as she tried blink her eyes dry. She stared at her hands in their now familiar spider-costume gloves, the sight somewhat comforting to see. She was so tired, and she hasn't slept for so long.. she wished she was back home.. back in her own bed, that was in her own room.. her own home.. her own dimension..

Re: Captives for the Elite Strike Force Holding Cell
It had been ages their time in captivity, how long exactly was a mystery, and for each occupant was a diffferent span of time. Connor and May had both been taken, Ray and Oraya so far left alone, but the two that where taken had become extremely quiet, for May, more so then usual. Both sitting silently and ignoring the presence of the others in the room, but as soon as the group teleported into the large cell in order to help them, Connor and May instantly reacted defensivly. A web line shot out, grabbing Madison by the back and yanking her with a force backwards before May lept into the air and used her webbing to pin her down to the ground. The young Spidergirl then proceeding to fight Kurt who was teleporting to avoid her webbing.
Connor however had instantly tackled the other girl that had come with Madison (who he hadn't realized was actually Madison at this time) his grip very tight on her arms as he threw her back against the wall. But as his arm pinned her against the wall, his other hand with metallic claws slicing through his skin ready to impale the intruder, he paused, hesitating as his head cocked slightly the the right. There was something distantly familiar about the scent of this girl, his claws retracted and disappeared back into his now bloodied knuckles as he inched closer to her, his body leaning in against hers as his face moved down against her shoulder. His knuckle wounds where already healed completely, he could hear Kurt's voice, it was so hard to think, what was going on?
The young Wolverine pulled away slightly from Roz, his eyes searching over her faces, his hands reaching up and his fingers touching her cheeks as if making sure she was real. He ignored the voice of Jarod who was helping Madison from her webbing and as Kurt began to take Oraya and Ray down to the Jet. Connor knew they where all familiar to him, he knows them, all of them, but he had a drug in his system that was making it hard for him to remember things clearly.

Re: Captives for the Elite Strike Force Holding Cell
With her mind losing the doubt it had, Madison was ready for anything… except for the web attack from the SpiderGirl. This Madison didn’t like one bit at all, she felt so helpless being pinned down on the ground, covered in webs… of all things webs!
She let out a yell of annoyance as she tried to wriggle herself free of her cacoon, with no success. She had virtually nothing to do except watch her friend get pinned against the wall by some guy… Connor? Why was he doing that? Surely he could tell that they were here to save him… As Jarod came over to help her, Madison ripped off the remaining webbing as soon as she was able to move her arms. She quickly got up to her feet, not even saying a thank you to Jarod, then again she rarely said that to anyone and rushed over to Roz and Connor.
Madison: “Connor! What are you doing?”
Although she shouted her brothers name the rest of her words were more puzzled instead of just plain yelling, like she probably would have done if it were anyone else. Madison wanted to know why he had pinned their friend on the wall, why he let his claws slide out… Maybe it was just a defensive reaction or something, but the look on her brothers face told her otherwise.

Re: Captives for the Elite Strike Force Holding Cell
The elder Enright turned rather startled as Madison yelled at him, he blinked before looking away as Kurt teleported off with Ray and Oraya. Watching quietly as Jarod tried to calm down the red suited girl, Connor.. he was Connor wasn't he.. that's right.. that's who he was. His eyes dropped down to Madison's feet, then over towards Roz's feet, then at his, before returning to Madison's.
When Kurt had returned, and he had taken Spidergirl and Jarod, it left Connor with the girls alone, the young Wolverine not really seeming able to focus on one thing for too long. They weren't hurting him.. so that's alright.. he doesn't have to fight then, he doesn't want to fight.. He looked up at Madison rather sleepily, his head slowly tilting to the side as if losing the strength to say upright. He inched closer towards his sister, his hands reaching up for her cheeks and tilting her face a little to the lift and then to the right, like their mother had always done when checking to see if they'd cut themselves again. He leaned forward and whispered in her ears, something that was totally unneeded since they both had pretty good hearing.
"I don't want to try any more.. if he doesn't want to be my father.. then I won't be his son." He looked down at his arm, his black shirt a little wrinkled from all the laying aorund, the constent grabbing and the continuous fights he's been in since he left earlier that morning. His hand rubbed over the part of his arm where the needle marks where seen, but then he placed his hand over his forehead as he was hit lightly with a dizzy spell.

Re: Captives for the Elite Strike Force Holding Cell
Roz was a bit suprised when Connor grabbed her and she jumped, she didn't want to have to hurt him, but if it came to that she would. She was glad that Madison ran over and helped her get loose. She saw him touching Madison's face and then he seemed to get dizzy. It would have helped if someone here had powers that could let them heal others, then Rosalyn could just take those powers and help Connor out. She stepped back letting them have their family time and went towards Jean while massaging her neck.

Re: Captives for the Elite Strike Force Holding Cell
Madison watched her brother feeling a little worried over him. Connor was the only one who could tell Madison what to do and she’d do it, without a grumble. Had the people who worked here done something to him? If they had she could do something, payback, stick up for him the way Connor always did for his sisters. She clenched her fists slightly, readying them for her claws to side out, but by now Connor had hold of her face, checking it the same way her mother did. She was never too fond of it, if she was hurt wouldn’t she tell someone? Well… most likely not… maybe that’s why both her brother and mother never believed her when she said she was fine…
"I don't want to try any more.. if he doesn't want to be my father.. then I won't be his son." Madison had noticed that Connor had lost a lot of faith in their father recently, sure they were never really that close to him but he was their father… Their father who didn’t even check up on them when they were in the med bay after their upgrades, or after that, not even popping by their dorms just to say hello. Everyone else who had parents back at the Institute seemed close, even if they didn’t want to be except these two, three including Arisa Madison’s ‘favourite’ little step sister.
She looked over to Roz, sure she wouldn’t have heard what Connor whispered to her, but Madison didn’t know what to say, could you just disown a family member like that? It was so easy and simple… She looked back over to Connor in time to see him hold his head, but something else caught her eyes. Then needle marks.
Madison: "… What did they do to you?"
Her tone sounded worried, yet angry at the same time. What did they want with him? Connor hadn’t done anything wrong to the people here, why did they have to cause so much trouble? Although she wanted to know what had happened, she could always listen to the story on the way home, but they still needed to get Talia. What would they have done with her once they found out that she wasn’t Madison?

Re: Captives for the Elite Strike Force Holding Cell
The young Wolverine's eyes turned to watch Roz move away from them, still not realizing it was their old family friend, she was distinctly familiar however.. He couldn't really ponder about her too long, or due to the drugs he couldn't really think on the matter to well either, but Madison's voice caysed him to look down at her hands.
"… What did they do to you?" They did lots of things, why did she want to know? He frowned, looking back up at her unhappily, wasn't it her fault he was here, he wanted her to help him and all she did was turn her back to him. That's just typical actually, they all turn their backs to him, they always do, Arisa ran off from him, Logan never spoke to him, and she wouldn't help when the demoness attacked him. Of course it was the drugs effecting him, normally Connor would have been far more forgiving, he didn't like making his little sisters upset.
"What you let them do to me." He whispered very quietly in a harsh tone, but his eyes drifted over to Kurt who had appeared beside Madi to teleport them back to the plane. Connor's only reply to Kurt's outstretched hand was clenched teeth and a soft growl as step to put Madison right between him and Kurt. Connor's hand took hold of Madison's arm.. perhaps a little more firmly then he meant to, the tips of his fingers digging strongely into her arm.
Motioning for the others to approaching him, Kurt placed a hand on Madison's should and then telepotred the rest of them back to the Blackbird.

Re: Captives for the Elite Strike Force Holding Cell"What you let them do to me." She let them do stuff to him, what? It took a little while for Madison to realise just what he meant… She didn’t mean it, she was under some spell a demon put on her, she thought that ‘Andrea’ was her friend. Silly girl, she should have seen through it herself, Madison was never to type to make friends that quickly, no wonder everyone was giving her a strange look when they saw Madison with the new girl. Why was he making her feel so bad? She didn’t mean it, she was under a spell, did he get it, she was defenceless…
As he grabbed hold of her arm she felt a slight bit of pain tingle where Connor held her, although she didn’t want Connor to see. Turning her head away she saw Roz and the others come up then as Kurt touched her shoulder they finally left the cells. Hopefully to never return again…
