"I can't believe this," Jean whispered to Scott as they neared Apex. "I can't believe any of this."
"What's wrong Jean?" Scott whispered back.
"I have a very bad feeling about this. Something is wrong."
"Yeah, me too," Kael said coming up behind them.
"Like, where's the Brotherhood?" Kitty asked holding out her arms annoyed.
"Waiting for you," Pietro said stepping out of the shadows.
"Whoa, stalkerish much?" Kitty glared.
"Watch it Pryde," Alyson threatened from a tree limb.
"You watch it Bronson!" Morgan called pointing at her sister.
"Aw, Mor, is that any way to treat your baby sister?" Alyson smirked and descend the tree, jumping off the branch to the ground.
Morgan glared at her as Kael put a hand on her shoulder and whispered in her ear, "You're just feeding the fire." She nodded and smirked focusing her attention on the tree above her.
Crackling sounded behind Alyson and she felt heat radiating over her, she slowly turned looking over her shoulder as the tree that she was previously on was towering above her on fire. She gasped stumbling backward on the ground and crawling away in fear, never taking her eyes from the burning structure.
One of the branches cracked and she squealed, rolling out of the way. When she pulled her head out of her arms and pulled a leaf from her hair she looked up to see that her fellow Brotherhood members were looking at her in confusion and Morgan was laughing gleefully.
Alyson looked back over her shoulder at the flaming tree, to see that it was only an illusion. She flipped up and growled as her black leathery wings ripped through her skin and out of the holes in her shirt, she turned and glared with red eyes at her sister.
Morgan only laughed more, and her own black angelic wings showing with a metallic glint. Taking a few of her feathers they shown as long daggers. "You really wanna do this?" she asked holding them between her fingers, giving off the appearance of Wolverine.
"Are you?" Alyson asked and pulled two daggers from her waist.
"You bitch! I've been looking for those forever!" Morgan yelled.
"What can I say, you know what it's like to live on the streets, you need to steal to survive," Alyson told her and smirked lunging at her sister.
Morgan let out and high scream and took flight, running from her angry little sister. She flew up around the tree and dodged some street lights.
"Aw! Come on Morgan! Hold still!" Alyson laughed chasing her, she drew back her arm to throw one of the daggers but it stopped in midair.
"You forget little sister, the incantations that I placed on my daggers, they can't hurt me," Morgan smiled.
"Oh. Well, we'll just have to do this the hard way!" Alyson sighed and grabbed the dagger in her fist and chased after Morgan, gaining on her, trying to stick her with her own knife.
"Stop Alyson!" Pietro called from the ground.
"Make me Pie!"
"Cut it out Morgan!" Scott commanded.
"And what? Get sliced and diced by my insane sister? I don't think so- WHOA!" she screamed as she could no longer fly.
"What the!? Come on Caleb, no fair!" she called over her shoulder retracting her wings and crossing her arms.
"Drop 'em Alyson," Caleb shouted to her, holding his half sister with gravity.
"Make me Chaos," Alyson growled as Wanda seized the daggers from Alyson and the feathers from Morgan.
Wanda brought them to herself and gave them to Remy, "Hold onto these, Gambit."
"No problem, Magz girl," Remy smiled and winked.
Jean telekinetically brought Morgan back to the ground and Morgan dusted herself off as Caleb dropped Alyson, she landed on her feet and grunted, looking at Wanda who stole her daggers that she stole from Morgan.
"You guys ready?" Lance asked holding a flashlight under his chin.
"Nice try Lance," Jean said wrapping her hands around her arms.
The group entered the house with their flashlights at hand. They all looked around slightly surprised. No blood on the gray walls. Just a lot of graffiti.
"Wow this is," Wanda started.
"Not what you expected?" Caleb finished.
"Not at all," Wanda sighed.
"This is it? This is all?" Alyson asked sticking her arms out. "This is the big scary Apex?!"
"Shh!'
"Hush!"
"Shut up!"
Remy and Pietro lunged at her, Remy grabbing her arms and pinning them against her sides whiled Pietro covered her mouth with his hand.
"Eww!!" Pietro flipped pulling his hand away. "She licked me!"
"Gerroff Gambit!" Alyson growled jerking him off of her. "At least I didn't bite ya," she winked at Pietro.
"She's so much like Logan it's scary." Bobby whispered to Morgan.
"Too bad they're not related," Morgan growled back crossing her arms indifferently.
Bobby turned to her slightly surprised. "What's up your ass?
Loud bang sounded from upstairs, the screeching of metal on metal and the sounds like a furnace kicking on all sounded one after the other.
"Shh," Scott commanded as they all turned in different directions surveying for things that could have made the noises that they heard.
"That bang came from upstairs," Alyson said calmly.
"The metal had to be on this floor, it sounded close," Rogue observed.
"This is an old house, there might have been a wood burning stove in the basement," Jean thought aloud.
"Alright," Scott said dividing the groups, "Let's split up."
