Chapter 43 - Live [2]

[May of 2012]

[°Stryker's Mutant Facility°]

3rd Person P.O.V

The viewers that have already reached an astonishing 100 million views was all mostly silent at that question as they pondered at it. The question was a tough one for those who was adamant that humanity will always prevail while it was rather a bit easy for those who sided at mutants and those of neutral opinions.

Andrew then began striking the iron while its hot "If you all have already forgotten. Earth just had its first full on alien invasion. And let me tell you, the humanity are pitiful at that battle, if not for me and the Avengers, then earth may have already become a spoils of war for whoever was the leader of that invasion..

Wait, what do you mean "Leader?". That is common sense guys. Do you all really believe that the God of Mischief from the Norse were the one who really commands that Aliens? I'm not really sure with this speculation of mine, but if it's really true and there's someone who manipulated and controlled the whole incident from behind the scenes, then i fear that in their next attack, we, as a whole, may lost. With or without the Avengers...

So think about my earlier question throughly as your future and potential to be something more depends upon it.." Andrew finished his little speech at that as let go of the phone and made it orbit around him along with the camera.

The X-Men was all silent as they just watched him do his thing as they also couldn't help but think about his question.

Sabretooth on the other hand was unconscious as Xavier made him to be when the guy continously growled at Logan and even attacked him when Andrew let go of him earlier. He is currently being carried by Logan as the latter carried him onto his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

Andrew ignored the X-Men as he stopped in front of a large 20 inch thick metal gate. There was a button pad at the side but as what most sane person would do, he just kicked at the gate as it immediately folded and flew away from its hinges.

The X-Men was amazed at his show of immense physical strength while the viewers also had the same reaction.

The gate — that was speedily coming towards a group of huddled-together scientists — stopped, losing its momentum in an instant as it then floated and landed to a vacant area.

"Now, Everyone, I introduce you to the scientists that experiments on us..." Andrew said without looking at the camera as he came inside the big spacious experimental room.

He ignored the scientists that was hugging themselves together, hoping that maybe their deaths would come quickly. His attention was focused on one figure that was sitting stiffly in his chair.

Sublime or should he say Dr. John Sublime, was a relatively good looking man wearing a black business suit with the inner garment being unbuttoned to a few indicating his free and easy going fake persona.

Andrew made the camera face the huddled scientists as he walked towards Sublime. He stepped forward as he stood in front of the sentient bacteria who only managed to react by looking at him while sitting pitifully as he can't move an inch.

"Yo."

[Sublime P.O.V]

It was the same kind of day for him just like before. Dr. John Sublime; one of the respected head of the Weapon Plus Program, greeted the staff and his workers with the same fake but genuine looking smile as he sat on his chair — overlooking the work of his subordinates.

He is a well known scientist that specializes in mutant experimentation. He's in partnership with William Stryker Jr. Also one of the heads of the Weapon Plus Program.

He called and signaled to one of the guards to come to him as he ordered the guy to bring him a cup of coffee.

After that, he turned his attention again to the diligently working scientists who settled an unconscious Sabretooth in a chair while they attached a helmet like device on his head that immediately electrocuted him as they recited some specific words to further strengthen their influence on the mind of the feral mutant.

But his day was suddenly ruined when the same guard that he ordered to get him a coffee came back, running at him and saying that someone was attacking the facility.

He immediately pulled a monitor to him as he looked at the real time security footage and saw a featureless man — with a camera hovering around him — freezing the first line of the facility's defense.

He immediately recognized the unique feature of the man as one of those that fought in the Alien Invasion and was also a mutant.

He then remembered the power of the man and strong it was, It didn't take long for him to realize that no one in this facility can stop the mutant as he tried standing – intending to escape.

But to his shock, he found himself unable to move an inch as he stayed stuck to the chair, with the only part of him capable of moving being his eyes.

"!!!"

This brought alarms to Sublime's mind as he immediately deduced that this was the work of the mutant outside. He then tried his ultimate escape card as he tried to separate his original body – which is a bacterial substance — from the body he was using but he suddenly found that very thought far away.

He can't separate..

The feeling that he got was as if the switch that will let him separate from the physical body was so near yet so far away.

He tried again and again but it was futile as he came to a conclusion that this was the work of that mutant — once again.

At that, he just sat on the chair for the rest of the time as he saw and felt the soldiers thinning out as they were all defeated..

It was an excruciatingly painful experience for him as he felt that his end was coming as his past endeavors on bettering the humanity and his dreams of enslaving the mutant race flashed through his eyes.

3rd Person P.O.V

Andrew looked at the guy who was also looking at him as he waved his hand and conjured a force-field – that also has the invisibility effect – around the bacteria. He then made the guy lift as he made him orbit around him like his camera.

The X-Men saw what he did as Alex stepped forward, not giving Xavier the time to talk "What did you do? Where are you taking him?"

Andrew didn't humor the guy as he sat on the chair that sublime was using earlier as he just simply said "Not your business."

"Wha!–" Alex Summers – being just like his brother – reacted to the nonchalant reply with anger as he stepped forward once more and was ready for some action when a hand caught his shoulder – stopping him on his tracks.

James Howlett a.k.a Logan a.k.a Wolverine shook his head at Alex "Don't bother, I'm sure he got a good reason for whatever he wants to do with that guy, right?"

Logan has a keen smell, not just for smell but his long experience have honed his senses to also smell danger, and what he got from this featureless man? Danger. A kind of danger that the whole combined strength of him and his team will not save them if things go south.

Andrew nodded at the guy, slightly impressed by his way of thinking and his decisiveness.

The camera that was focused on the scientists came back to his side and captured the surroundings in his perspective. Andrew then stood up as he swept his eyes and spotted some dissection tables with bloodied bodies on them.

He thought for a moment if he should show this as he then turned to the camera and spoke "I'm now going to show you real and tangible proofs of mutant experimentation.."

Ding!

Ding!

The viewers were at the edge of their seats after hearing that words as they waited patiently and nervously.

Andrew then began walking towards the dissecting tables, he made the camera focus on the bodies while also blurring the it in the live at the same time.

"And this, is the cruel reality of mutants.." Andrew just simply said as the viewer's and the comment section all fell silent for the first time.

Seeing people with mutilated bodies even if its blurred struck the very being of all of them watching all around the world as they couldn't believe that something like this can actually be done by a fellow human.

Charles Xavier, Ororo Munroe, Hank McCoy, Kurt Wagner, Piotr Rasputin and Alex Summers is also silent as the real reality struck them.

Even though they know and have also heard from the rescued mutants what they all experienced, it's still different with seeing it in person.

A complicated and hurt look appeared in Charles Xavier's eyes as he saw this. He was hurt that even with all the time that his team have tried to make a change, it seems to still not enough. People still doesn't appreciate them and their endeavors and actually even degrades them.

Ororo Munroe has the same hurt look on her face as she couldn't help but remember Andrew and his group that also tried to make a change in the lives of the mutantkind using their own ways, with the end result of them failing at this goal.

Kurt Wagner was also silent and wasn't smiling as usual as he took in the scene in front of him, this triggered a flashback in his mind as he remembered his self being enslaved by people as they literally treated him like a circus pet.

Henry Philip "Hank" McCoy on the other hand was also reminiscing his past when he still had a normal life in Illinois and was even popular in his school for being their best athlete, but all came falling apart after he was revealed to be a mutant and the school even expelled him.

Piotr Rasputin was also silent as he couldn't help but remember his sister that just died recently, he regrets not being able to spend more time with her and also hates Andrew who took her away from him, but he just sighed with a downtrodden look as he realized that they're all already dead and nothing can change.

Alex Summers was silent for the reason that he remembered his childhood, how him and his brother Scott lost their parents at a young age and was forced to fight for themselves, that changed after he met Xavier and his life changed for the better.

Logan on the other hand was just rubbing his temples as this whole debacle was starting to trigger something in his mind and flashes of memories that he can't remember began emerging from his mind.

..

Andrew can feel their their emotions using his [ Empathy ] as he let the camera capture the surroundings while letting the true reality sink within the minds of those watching the live.

He was about to continue talking to the camera when something entered the range of his [ Psionic Domain ] and took his attention. He elevated his senses as he "saw" that it was actually bunch of helicopters; Some military, some news channels.

He wasn't surprised by their arrival as earlier when had been talking to the audience, he had already taken down his firewall securities and let the government and even S.H.I.E.L.D to find out his current location.

The X-Men seemed to have also sensed their arrival as they began talking while Xavier instructed them on what to do.

He shifted his and the camera's focus as it once again points to the dead experimented mutants as he lifts his hands and waved it smoothly to the air.

The audience and the X-Men was confused with what he was doing but then the ground underneath the dissecting tables suddenly turned and transformed, looking like a quicksand as Andrew manipulated it and made coffins of sturdy and solid stone.

..

..

..

Though, another thing took his attention once more as his eyes widened in surprise.
