Shockwave

Idris. POV

Domino and I walked up the stairs of the Institute and the doors were off their hinges. It seems the scary guy got here before us.

"What do you think did that type of damage?" I heard Domino say softly from my side as she held her guns up to our sides.

"No clue. Apparently the guy's name is Juggernaut." I shrugged and just kicked a piece of debris out of the way. That's when I heard a crash multiple crashes and saw a giant man-sized hole in the wall, and the wall after that, and the wall after that. "I also think he went that way" I pointed to the hole and Domino went ahead of me.

"No shit." I sped up to be in front of her.

"Let's slow down, lucky charms. You're not exactly bullet proof remember." She just looked at me weirdly.

"I'm not Irish." I gasped and started walking.

"That's racist!" I turned my head to look at her with a smile on my face.

"You do know when you look at me I can't see what face you're making." She deadpanned, and I just kept walking.

"Forgot about that. You're still racist."

"I'm not racist. It's just the leprechaun from the cereal is Irish." We got to a hole in the floor that went down multiple levels.

"Just because he's Irish, all leprechauns are Irish?" I looked at her and she met my gaze.

"That's literally where they come from." I just looked back into the hole.

"We'll put a pin in this conversation. You can find your way down?" I looked to her and I saw her look around the room.

"I'll be fine" Her eyes had found a couch.

"Ok in no way is that couch gonna help you get down this hole. It's impossible." She just walked towards it.

"You can turn your entire body into fire. Speaking of fire. Shouldn't you already be down their fighting the good fight." She started pushing the couch towards the hole and I just looked at her dazed.

"Right. See ya." With that I jumped into the hole and when I almost touched ground, I turned ignited. I heard fighting from inside the danger room and I blasted towards it. Inside I saw a group of teens fighting the largest man I had ever seen. He had just sent kid of considerable girth into the wall.

"Holy shit!" I yelled in shock and everyone turned towards me. I will not sugar coat this. This man was almost 9 foot tall and almost 5 foot wide at the shoulders. He looked like he could eat steel and not be bothered. "What did they fucking feed you big man?" Cyclops took note of this distraction and shot him with his eye beams. I snapped out of my stupor and shot towards him shooting flames all around him. He was covering his eyes and waving his arms widely trying to grab me. Joke on him, you can't really grab fire.

"What the fuck?" I asked as I felt him grab my legs and swing me into the floor then hold me up so he can look at me. I looked at him stunned and saw a red glow in his eyes. That's definitely not normal. He reeled his arm back and punched me right in my chest. His whole body was glowing red and it released right on impact deactivating my powers and leaving a massive dent in my chest.

I crashed into a wall and started scratching at my chest. My heart wasn't beating. I was brain was going into shock and I could only stare at him wide eyed. Domino had just gotten in and saw me on the floor, she looked at me with fear and then looked at the juggernaut whose helmet latches had just been removed. She aimed her guns and starting spraying.

I was still clawing at my chest when Scott came up to me and held me up against the wall. I only looked at him helplessly. He said something, but I couldn't hear anything. Everything was just mute. Black spots started filling my vision until everything went black and I saw no more.

Scott. POV

I held Idris as he died and felt his body go limp, I could only look at him with shock. He died in my arms trying to help us. This wasn't fair. I looked around the room and saw everyone groaning and trying to get up. The Juggernaut still stood tall and he had just smacked Storm out of the air.

One man could do so much damage to a group of mutants. He single handily defeated us. I looked at my fellow X-men and saw looks of defeat on their faces as the Juggernaut ignored the shots being fired at him and walked at a measured pace towards the Professor and Mystique.

"God help us."

"Fuck that Summers" I heard over my shoulder to see Idris trying to stand up. His chest was starting to reform. He was coughing the entire time until he got to his feet.

"How did you?" I only looked at him gaping and he just looked unsure of himself.

"I have no idea. I do remember dying. Thank for the whole, not dying alone thing by the way." He gave me a thumbs up and shot towards the Juggernaut.

Idris. POV

I died. Like really died. My heart had been crushed. But I wake up seeing Scott over my body and everyone else around the room lying on the floor. Besides Domino who only had just ran out of ammo and looked unsure of what to do.

I shot towards the Juggernaut and rammed into him. Sending him through the wall.

"That was not what I had planned." I looked at the professor and he just looked at me.

"It is good to see you Idris." He said with a grateful smile. I just nodded my head and heard rumbling from the crater that the Juggernaut had created when I sent him flying. I saw him crawl out and growl as he eyed me.

"Alright. Round Two." I flew toward him and pulled my fist back and he did the same. Our fists met in the middle and created a shockwave, neither one of us moved from our positions.

"What the?" I heard him grumble and I completely agreed with him. I only had plans to fake the punch and fly around to melt that helmet form the back, but he moved faster then I expected for a man of his size. But when our fists met, I didn't feel anything. He only growled and tried to punch me again but I caught it.

I could feel the power struggle between us and he only looked at me wide eyed. He tried to punch me again but I caught that one as well. That when I flew up to look down at him. I only glared at him.

"You killed me, you giant dildo!" My eyes shot beams of fire at him and he screamed.

"Now Jean!" I heard Scott yell and next thing I know his helmet comes off. His screams get louder as my beams hit his face with more heat, but they were still leaving no mark on his skin. Invulnerability. I saw form the corner of my eye the Professor wheeling over and hold his hand towards the big guy. The juggernauts eyes started rolling and his screams stopped and he slumped. I stopped shooting my eye beams and blinked repeatedly and I unignited.

Smoke was still coming from my eyes, as I looked at the Professor. He had a sad look on his face and I looked around to see all the people in the room stand up helping each other to their feet. Domino was at the doorway with her arms crossed leaning against it with a small smile. I nodded at her and she nodded back.

"I'm sorry Cain." I looked back at the professor and just looked at him weirdly.

"That's this guy's name?" A blue chick walked up towards me with her arms crossed.

"Yes. Or better known as Charles Xavier's brother" She said with a smug look.

"You have got to be kidding me? You called me here to clean up your mess?" Charles only kept his sad look and nodded as he met my gaze. "Well lets clean this mess. I can take him out right now." My eye started to literally burn and Charles just held up his hand.

"That will not be necessary Idris!"

"He tried to kill you, Charles. He also succeeded in doing so to me." I hit my hand against my chest and kicked the Juggernauts limp form.

"He will be handled. But if you kill him, you will be no better then him. There is good in every man."

"Bullshit." I charged my eyes and saw everyone standing around me.

"Listen to the Professor bub." I heard a gravelly voice from behind me and saw a short man with metal claws coming out of his fists. Behind him were Scott and Jean who looked like they were in agreement.

"Unbelievable. Once he's freed, he'll just come back and try to kill him again." My eyes stopped burning and I pointed at Charles.

"We will give him the chance to redeem himself. Just as we are doing for you." I heard Storm's voice, and I looked at her. This was stupid.

"You guys are so disappointing. You claim to be the good guys but don't want to pull up your big boy pants when time get tough." I looked around the room and I could see that some of the kids agreed with me. "You know what. I'm officially done. Don't call me again Charles." I brushed past the blob of a man and walked towards the door. "I'm done with you posers". I grabbed Domino and led her to the elevator.

"Was that a wise move?" She asked as we got in and I just punched the wall, leaving a dent in it. "Oh. New power?" I was angry.

"They used me." She just hummed and looked to the fist sized dent.

"Without pay too." She joked and I just glared at her.

"This isn't funny. Charles knew what type of threat he was, and he still used me. I died! Yet he's the one who gets to call the shots! Fuck him. If he wants to get his X-men killed by his crazy brother, then that's fine by me." Domino just nodded along with every word I said.

"Even your friends?" I froze. "I mean we did come here to stop that giant monster and we did. So, I think that's a job well done." She had a pleased look on her face.

"It's not that simple." She shrugged

"Look I saw you with a dent in your chest and the next second it was gone. I shot that thing with every bullet I got, and they all just bounced off of him. I'm just glad I'm alive." I looked at her and looked away. "Nice eyes by the way."

"What?" I looked at her confused and she pointed towards my face.

"The eye spots burned away when you went all laser eye mode on him. I think you called him a giant dildo too." I reached to my mask and felt around the eyes. It was true. They were completely gone.

"No use in needing this anymore." I pulled off the mask and showed my face to Domino, and she just whistled.

"You should have shown your face sooner." I just threw the mask at her, and she caught it with a weird look.

"So you can remember this day, Neena" The elevator dinged as we reached the ground floor and we walked towards the car.

"Ok, Idris." We got in the car and she started the radio. "We might have to call you something else now you have the whole super strength thing." I shrugged and leaned back into the chair.

"We can brainstorm later. Dying takes a toll on the body" I closed my eyes and started dozing off. She started the radio and Golden Oldies of the 70's and 80's started playing.

"What about 'Super Merc'" I peeked one eye open and saw her smiling.

"Shut up"
