Finding Family - Part 1 ~ Chapter 1

Welcome to the second part of my series "The Truth, Family and Powers Beyond Belief", Yeah long name I know, alternative series names will be appreciated.

The Bold word signifies the start of a new scene.

BOOM BOOM
The anti-aircraft gun peppered the air with shrapnel as the X-Jet weaved between the explosions. There was suddenly an urgent beeping from the dashboard, "shit, missile lock," said the pilot through gritted teeth. "Let's see how fast you can go."
The engine roared and the jet shot forwards leaving the missiles in its wake. The missiles obviously had other ideas, the outer casing fell away to reveal a sleek black missile with a glowing tail.
"What the..." The missiles sped up easily keeping up with the jet, gaining fast. Seeing no other choice the pilot turned, veering wildly to the right then left adding a barrel roll to throw the missiles off. Seeing this hadn't worked the pilot pulled back on the wheel, sending the jet rocketing into a steep climb. Higher and higher the jet climbed even so the missiles slowly managed to gain on it.
"Come on, come on you can do it," unfortunately it wasn't to be as the missiles that had been gaining for so long caught up with the jet and detonated.
"Damn," shouted Carol as the burning debris fizzled away revealing the danger room.
"Come on Carol don't start sulking. You've passed all the sims to fly the Blackbird, now you're just trying to beat an unbeatable sim, the whole programming is designed to be impossible."
"Leo, why aren't you here again, surely you'd love to watch me fail."
"Because I'm in the hangar fixing the Blackbird," came his crackling reply.
"You should have done that by now especially with your speed."
"I'm upgrading her too, soon she'll have cloaking like the bus."
"Yeah but remember your last attempt at upgrading, it landed you in probation if I remember correctly."
"That won't happen this time I have everything in control," there was a screech in the background, "oh no, no, no, no don't do that."
"Oh Leo," sighed Carol, he always managed to find trouble even in the engineering department they shared for a short time.

Nothing serious had happened to Leo, he'd tried using his speed to add some improved paneling to the jet. Unfortunately his lightning hadn't reacted too well to the latent electricity in the cloaking panel and had produced a larger than average spark. This had made Leo jump, unfortunately he'd fallen of the jet and landed on the floor.
"Right then, keep speed to a minimum," he mumbled.
Even with him trying to keep his speed down, Leo still managed to complete the retrofitting of the Blackbird by lunch.

Logan and Sif were laying scantily clad in his bed breathing heavily. They were having an argument, Sif wanted to return to Asgard and confront Odin, Logan wanted nothing of the sort.
"I need to do this," said Sif.
"No you don't, we can put this behind us and move on," argued Logan.
"I need to know the truth of our time together, I mean I remember bits but I want to remember more. I want to remember everything," Sif leant into Logan's embrace kissing him tenderly.
"I do but the risks they're too high."
"I can take care of myself," said Sif indignantly.
"I have no doubt," grinned Logan looking across the room to Sif's sword, strewn along with her armour across the floor. "I don't want to lose you; I've only just found you."
"I don't want to lose you either, but I need to do this, we need to do this."
"I'm coming with you then," Sif could vaguely remember Logan was always this stubborn.
"Fine, but I'm taking the lead."
Logan kissed her, "that's all I wanted really."

Stealing the HYDRA equipment was surprisingly easy, Xavier had plucked the image of the store room they were in from an unsuspecting guard. He'd then given the image to Kurt who'd teleported in with Hunter, ten minutes later they teleported back with Hunter dressed in the HYDRA colours.
His 'joining' HYDRA had been easy too, they'd bought his story of being the only survivor of their fight with SHIELD and now he had almost unrestricted access to the base and all its secrets.
