41 The Revelation

[[Sebastian Shaw]]

"M-Marcellus?" He nods and walks towards Lourdes. 

"What's going on here?!" I was panicking. 

"I don't have time to explain. It's all a setup by the King and Queen of the club?" What?!? Why would they do that?

But that's the least of my concern. "C-Can you save her?"

He nods. "Yes, I can." He took out a vial from his pockets. "Sorry that I couldn't get to you in time." 

He was confusing me. "What do you mean? Who were these guys?" 

"Mercenaries… sent by Edward and Paris." Again, why would they send them?

"Why would they do that?" He opens the vial and pours the liquid over the gun wound. 

"Because they wanted to exert full control over you and Shaw Enterprise." What?

His nails grew longer which made my eyeballs nearly pop out. "But they didn't consider the possibility of you being a mutant."

"Mutant?" I don't know why but this term sounds offensive.

"Don't worry, you will get used to it." Wait, what?

He pulls out the bullet with his nails and pours the leftover liquid over the wound. Lourdes's wound closes instantly.

"That should do it." 

I rushed towards her.

Her breathing was stabilized and her color was returning. "How did you do that?" 

He smiled. "There is a lot that needs to be explained, Sebastian." He frowned. "But for now, we need to let Lourdes rest and find your father."

Father?!?!

"What happened to my father?!?" 

He shook his head. "I don't know. But since they attacked you and your fiancée, there is a very high chance that your father is their target as well." 

No no no… I need to find my father. 

"We need to let her rest first and then we need to go." I looked at the unconscious Lourdes.

"She will be fine right?" He nodded.

"Yeah, she will. But she needs rest. She won't wake up for at least a day." As long as she is safe, I don't care.

"You haven't explained anything about what just happened." 

He sighs. "I will explain on the way." He looks at Lourdes. "Now, put her on the bed and let's go."

…

…

[Inside the car]

"So are you going to explain? What happened there? Why did they attack us? How did I do all that? How did you save Lourdes?" He chuckled.

"Slow down, I will answer one question at a time." The road was pretty much clear so he bolted in.

"To explain what and why all that happened, I will have to explain your origins first." His focus was on the road.

"My origins? Don't tell me that my parents are not my own?!?" That was the first thing that came to my mind.

He chuckled. "What made you think that? They are your parents."

This is confusing.

"Do you know about the "Theory of  Evolution?"

"You mean Darwin's one?"  He nods.

"The very same." What's with the question?

"Well, Darwin said that we all evolved from a species that was very closely related to the apes."

"Homo Erectus" He said

"Yes. According to him, we went through various stages to reach this level, the level of us humans, the Homo Sapiens." He had a smile on his face.

"Do you think that this is the last stage of evolution?" That question made me raise an eyebrow.

"What do you mean?" 

He sighed. "Do you think that our current stage is the last stage of evolution?"

"No." I instantly answered. "We are far more advanced than any other species, but we are not at the peak yet. It will take ages but we will continue growing."

At this point, he had a massive grin on his face. "Exactly. Humans are nowhere near perfect. It will take time, but they will reach there, eventually."

I caught onto something. "What do you mean by 'they?' Do you not consider yourself a human?"

He looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "Of course, I consider myself to be a human… Just not on the same phase as them."

"Okay, you lost me." He never gives any straightforward answer.

"What do you think of your powers? Do you think that the humans of this generation or stage… can do the same thing?"

Wait… He can't mean.

"I mean exactly what you are thinking, my friend." He increases the speed of the car. "We are at the next stage."

My eyes widened. "Or at least the stage, what a fraction of the human population will achieve."

"Fraction?"

"Yes, fraction."  *Sigh*

"You have lost me once again." He shook his head with a smile.

"Do you think that all humans have superpowers?" I shook my head. "Exactly, they don't. And neither will they get them… but we did."

He sighs. "We are humans… but we have an extra set of genes… chromosomes that grant us abilities."

"Extra?" He smiles. 

"Yes, extra." He scowled. "The term mutant is considered offensive by many … but I don't give a shit."

I raised an eyebrow.

"We are a separate line from humans." He sighed. "We were once part of them… but we were taken out of that line and… transformed."

"Transformed?" 

"Transformed, strengthened, blessed… cursed. However, you want to take it." He shook his head. "But, none of us asked for this life… Yet here we are, cursed with these abilities."

"What now?" He looked at me when I asked the question.

"Honestly, I don't know." What? "But I do know one thing. If you want to survive, you have to keep moving forward."

"Well, that's reassuring." He didn't take my sarcasm.

"It is not meant to be." He scowled. "Because if these two idiots managed to contact them… we will all be dead."

"Do I even want to know as to what you are talking about?

"*Sigh* Sentinels… They are mutant hunters and Edward and Paris want to contact them to hunt us all down."

"Why?" He suddenly pushed the breaks… looking ahead I saw the lowered railway signal. 

"They fear us. They fear the mutants."

Even before I could ask, he answered. "You saw what you did to those mercenaries, right?"

I nodded. "Let me tell you something… that's just a fraction of what a mutant could do."

My eyes widened. "You mean there are stronger mutants."

He laughed. "Oh don't flatter yourself. You are extremely weak. There are mutants who can blow up entire planets with a snap."

He chuckled looking at my horrified expression. "Now, you know why they fear us."

I stayed silent for some time. "But… aren't humans the same." His grin turned feral.

"Care to elaborate?" 

"Humans… We- They can do the same, well maybe not with magical powers but instead with technology." The gate was slowly opening. "Humans have created weapons… weapons capable of destroying planets. It depends on who uses them… whether the person is good or evil. Killing the mutants just because they possess powers is crazy."

The gate opened and he pushed the accelerator. "*Sigh* That's what many people miss… That's what they missed. And now, they have gone too far with no way to return."

"So, what now?" 

"Now. We go to your father."

[A/N: This and the last chap is unedited. The electrical lines are fucked!

Hello darkness, my old friend. I've come to talk with you again.

Fun Facts:

•After Jean's supposed death Scott married her clone, Madelyne Pryor. Who he later abandoned... along with their child, when Jean came back. This led to another war when Pryor became evil blah blah... but guess what? THIS WAS ALL SET UP BY MR. SINISTER!

•The Symbiote King, Knull... is one of the true immortal beings within the Marvel-verse. What I mean is, even if he is killed... he will always come back. No matter what you do, he is a creature that MUST exist within the Marvel-verse.

•Even if you blast Sentry into oblivion, he can still revive himself from just a single atom.

Now you know why I am delaying the Sentry Serum. Heck, he even ripped the god of war, Ares in half!
