Misunderstanding.

Shhhhhin* *Boom!

The sound of multiple explosions rocked the bunker of the purifiers and out of the explosion the captain emerged carrying Rahne in his arms as he breached the bases walls. Following close behind them was the man known as Alexander Anderson.

Captain tossed Rahne to the side and rushed to attack Anderson.

" Quite quick on your feet. I like that. Been a while since I had a proper challenge."

Anderson spoke as he drew two more silver bayonets.

" Hm."

The captain growled as he dodged a swipe from the man's blades. He then quickly jumped over Andersons head and kicked at the man. Anderson raised his blades to defend himself but the blades shattered like glass upon contact with the captains heavy foot.

" Damn."

Anderson cursed as he narrowly dodged a kick that would have certainly injured him badly. He then drew two more blades and swung at the captain's leg in an attempt to cut it off.

Captain's eyes narrowed as the attack drew closer. However, before Andersons blades could make contact the captains body turned into mist allowing him to avoid injury.

" I must say you are quite impressive. Why is a man as impressive as you working for a monster like stryker?"

Anderson asked as he stared down his new opponent.

" Hm."

The captain growled.

" I see the silent type are ya. Well, that's fine. Nut I won't let you continue using the lords name as an excuse for your monstrous actions towards Mutants. All men, women, and children are loved by god even Mutants."

Anderson explained to the man as he raised his bayonets.

" And I am the blade of the lord destined to serve the lord and destroy his enemies. Amen!"

Anderson exclaimed as he crossed his blades into the shape of a cross.

The captain growled once again and started removing his uniform, stripping down until his top was completely off. He then raised his arms in a fighting stance and began marching towards the catholic Mutant. As he continued walking his silver white fur emerged on the side of his face and on his arms, leaving behind him a silver trail.

Amderson smiled in return and started walking towards the man as well seemingly accepting the captain's challenge.

The captain growled and in a burst of mist shot towards Anderson. Anderson grinned and swung his silver blades at the mist, but they just passed through. The captain's body reformed over Anderson's head and swung its leg down in an attempt to crush the man's skull.

Anderson sneered and swiftly dodged the kick and swung at the man with his blade.

Captain's eyes widened as he barely dodged the blade. However, Anderson did manage to nick the captain, drawing a bit of blood from the man's face.

Off to the side Rahne looked on in shock as the man who had seemingly over come every challenge sent his way with relative ease had just been made to bleed.

' But how, I thought Alexander healed his injuries. How was he able ta hurt him?'

Rahne asked herself in a panic.

Captain however, raised his hand and wiped the blood from his face as the wound started healing.

" I see, you heal like I do. But yours is a bit slower."

Anderson exclaimed as he observed the man's injury healing slowly.

" I wonder if the other one heals like you do?"

Anderson asked the man as he turned his attention to Rahne for the first time.

" Tell me child, why do you serve a monster like Stryker?"

Anderson asked the woman.

Rahne looked at the man in shock and disgust over his misunderstanding.

" We don' serve Stryker. We're X-men. We're here to stop Stryker. I also believe Stryker is disgracing our lord with his actions."

Rahne explained to the man exasperatedly.

Anderson looked at the woman stoically as his glasses shined in the night, until his entire mood collapsed in shame.

" I see, forgive me my child. I've caused you and your friend quite a bit of trouble."

Anderson apologized to the woman instantly.

" Wait, you believe me?"

Rahne asked in disbelief.

" I've seen your costumes before. The X-Men have always worn quite the strange get up. But In all honesty, I didn't pay much attention to your outfit before."

Anderson explained.

" I see. I truly am sorry young lady. I assume you X-Men were here to see what Stryker had planned. If that's the case then here take this."

Anderson said as he threw a small device to the woman.

" What's this?"

Rahne asked the man.

" Everything they had on their drives. i took all of it. But I figure you all can put this to better use. Consider it my apology for attacking you. And you sir, I apologize for injuring you unjustly. I hope the next time we meet you'll allow me to make it up to you properly. Until then farewell X-Men and may god be with you always."

Anderson explained to the two before placing his hand on his bible. Multiple pages began glowing and fluttering in the wind and just as soon as he appeared Anderson vanished in the blink of an eye.

" Hm?"

Captain growled.

" I'm alright. But I'm more concerned about you. Are you still hurt?"

Rahne asked the man as she raised her hand up to his face. She then gently began rubbing where his injury was.

Captain raised his hand up and gently held Rahne's hand to his face.

Rahnes beautiful pearl skin quickly turned as red as her hair.

" Alright, come on. We have ta get this back ta Cyclops and the others."

Rahne said to the man as she pulled her hand from his grasp.

The captain nodded and followed the woman back to the Jet and returned to the school.
