Chapter 18 - The Battle At The Streets

[13th of September, 2011]

[The Streets of NYC]

Andrew's P.O.V

Ah shit.. When did all this even happen..

I just wanted new clothes, for gods sake!

*Bang! Bang!*

I evaded the bullets coming out of the guns of this people as i telekinetically lifted a car at the side of the road and throws it at the damn pathetic bastards who interrupted my shopping.

"Hurry! This guys are persistent!" I shouted at Roberto who was driving the car while Kitty tend the bleeding Storm at the back seat..

"I know! I know!" Roberto shouts back.

*Bang! Bang!*

Looking at the ants still trying to catch up on us.. I looked around while our car was blitzing through and my eyes just settled at the ground.

A smile surfaced on my face as i peeked my bare head at the window to look at the fuckers at the back who immediately tried aiming at my exposed head.

"Eat this. HaHaHa!"

I laughed as i focused my senses at the concrete road and using most of my strength.. I pulled it up..

[Flashback]

Looking at the scared kid with a furrowed brows, my three companions who couldn't stop control their emotions and heroic impulses immediately ran to the kid.

Sigh..

"Are you okay, kid?"

Ororo immediately reached the kid while Kitty and Roberto tried 'shooing' away the onlookers and racist fuckers.

"Hey! Hey!

The onlookers tried resisting and argued but some who was knowledgeable enough was quick to recognize who Ororo was and shouted with wide eyes "Woah.. Isn't that woman an X-Man? What was her name?"

"Storm?"

The others' attention was also grabbed as they focused on Ororo and us as their phones began flashing immediately.

"Whoa!"

I clenched my hand and their phones was immediately crushed into pieces as they began backing away in apprehension.

Roberto who saw them trying to approach them stood up and stepped forward and made his voice clear to them "This is a matter of the mutant kind. So we would really appreciate it if you let us handle this and we will have no problem."

Uh oh. Wrong choice of words Berto..

And as expected. The guy who seems to be the owner of the fast food stand began standing up while clutching his hand and glared at Roberto and the kid at Ororo's arms.

"What no problem? That mutie just slammed me on the ground and now you're saying we just let that thing off!? Are you out of your goddamed mind!?" He shouted back at us.

The owner looks around and settled his gaze at those group of people that has contempt and disgusts in their eyes as they looked at us and spoke to them with raised voice. "Guys! You just saw what this mutie kid did to me weren't you? So what should we do?!"

He's riling them up, this ant is starting to get on my nerves..

"Yes! They can't just hurt us and walk away like that! This children of the devil should be burned!" One onlookers immediately replied with a smile on their face..

The fuck? What is this? Middle Ages? It was definitely different seeing this scene in real life than reading it in a comic panel as these guys are definitely borderline crazy.. Damn Sublime..

"Yeah!.."

"We should burn them for crushing my phone..."

The others was beginning to get riled up as they now raising their voices and this in turn was starting to get more attention as the people from afar who's seeing the commotion began approaching them.

Roberto who saw them like this, just gave up and turned to Ororo who has the kid at her arms and said: "Now's to time to leave.. this is getting out of hand.."

"Let's go.." Kitty said, she seems flustered.

We began backing away towards our car but the ants wasn't letting us go as they're following us while shouting and pumping their hands up in the air. Trying to get more people.

This guys...

I was ready to use my ability and stop them from following us when a "Bang" resounded and an object moving at extreme speed appeared in my senses.

My eyes widened – but wasn't concerned for myself – as i turned to my group to give them protection but i was too late.

Ororo was already falling with a gunshot at her abdomen while the kid was hugging her neck, scared.

Ah shit..

""Ms. Munroe!"" Roberto and Kitty immediately catched her falling form, panicking.

My head immediately whipped to the front where the bullet came from and saw a group of people carrying guns and wearing brown battle suit coming out of black armored SUV's approaching us with cautious steps.

""Ahhh"" The stand owner and his colleagues was even faster than their relative species;dogs, as they began running in different directions while screaming, terrified.

Pathetic..

The fuckers who i assumed as soldiers wasn't finished as they pressed something under their guns and aimed it again at us.

*Bang!* Bang!*

"Oh c'mon!" with a wave of my hand, I immediately conjured a force-field around all of us as the bullets fell to the ground.

"Quick! Place her on the back of the car and let's get out of here.."

The two was quick to respond seeing that the situation was escalating and then carried Storm who seems to be on the verge of losing consciousness with the kid.

The kid, though was scared, never let go of Ororo's hands as they were placed in the back of the car. Turning my attention to the soldiers. I heard one of them talking to his comms "The escaped subject, 011, is saved by four mutants, one of them is Storm of the X-Men, the other is a telekinetic with the two having unknown ability, we need back. I repeat, we need back up.."

This guys ain't soldiers..

Their target seems to be the kid as they called him 011.

I narrowed my eyes at them and took down my invisible force-field. A walkie-talkie-like object on their waist emitted a sound, probably detecting me taking down the force-field, the "Soldiers" was fast to react and was about to pull the trigger, but I was faster. I points my hands at them and muttered with an expressionless face. "Push"

The fakes was blasted away and slammed at the different objects on their way–definitely breaking bones–and lied there.. unconscious, maybe some died.. But meh..

I immediately climbed the car and Roberto snapped his eyes out of what i did and stomped his foot at the gas.

*Screeeeech*

3rd Person P.O.V

The part of the road that Andrew's group just passed, lifted off the ground, and like a mini tsunami, it blocked the sun and brought a shadow to the street.

The fake soldiers' eyes widened and tried getting out of their cars, but was too late for some. The Cement Tsunami slammed down and crushed them with their cars.

""What the fuck!"" The bystanders that was just minding their day was disturbed as they saw this and immediately tried scrambling away from the huge debris that is still rolling on the streets.

"What the fuck Andrew..!" Robeto's exasperated shout was heard in the speeding car followed by Andrew's laughter.

"HaHaHaHa.."

—-—

"HaHaHa–..?"

Andrew's laughter was interrupted as he and the group saw three cars just like what the former squished behind pulling up a few blocks away at their front.

Kitty began to panic as she tightly holds the kid at her side but continued putting pressure at Ororo's wound to prevent anymore bleeding. "Wh-what do we do?!"

*SKIIIIIT*

Roberto immediately pressed the break as their wheels stopped while the car slowly stopped with the wheel imprint on the ground.

He looked seriously at the cars waiting for them and whipped his sweaty, nervous face to the back to check upon Ororo and settled his gaze back to Andrew who was at his side and talked "Don't worry, we got this guy here."

Andrew just rolled his eyes at his obvious cowardice and said "No, why don't you be the one to fight them and save the day while i drive us to the mansion.. Deal?"

"Oh fuck you, come on, the teacher is bleeding out, do something!" Roberto replied with a look on his face that is begging for help.

"Okay okay, let's go, hit that gas and leave the rest to me." Andrew replied with a confident look on his then cracked his knuckles as if he was even gonna use them.

Roberto Da Costa nodded firmly with his eyes full of trust that just brought laugh inside Andrew as he hits the gas and went full speed.

The wannabe soldiers inside two of the cars that saw their targets coming at them seemingly without an ounce of fear climbed down their cars while one soldier carried down with him a freaking missile launcher.

Andrew and Robert's eyes who saw that soldier carrying that thing widened but the latter narrowed his eyes and began concentrating his ability.

The fake soldier carrying the missile launcher focused his aim accurately and pulled the trigger.

The missile left its launcher with a burst of flames and speed and sped through the trajectory of the mutants' car.

Andrew who was looking at this people trying so hard just to stop him — even if it's futile —couldn't help but feel something awakening inside him..

Something that he lost..

Something... sleeping

Something like... a.. Predator..

A small smile once again surfaced Andrew's face seeing their futile efforts, the smile elevates and became a full-blown grin as he points his hands towards the incoming missile.

Roberto, Kitty and Tom couldn't help but close their eyes in Instinct and waited for the inevitable.

One

Two

Three

Seconds passed but the three didn't receive their expected outcome as they opened their eyes and looked at the front.

There, they found the missile hovering about three meters away from their car, still emitting flames for propulsion at its butt.

They slowly turned their their eyes to Andrew who is sporting a smile on his face with a hand in the air, then they saw him waves the said hand to the front and the missile that was about blow them to pieces began turning around.

Its tip points to where it came from.

All the eyes of the fake soldiers outside their cars and the ones inside the one car widened as they began scrambling to get out of the way but they found their bodies not responding, as if something is preventing them.

Andrew's hand that is in a horizontal position fell down as the missile moved towards the soldiers.

"Hey! Hey! Andrew, you can't do that.. that is against what we are fighting for–.." Kitty immediately said seeing this but she was ignored.

Tom, the kid's eyes glinted in amazement at this scene and tried hard not to blink lest he missed it.

Roberto didn't talk and just looked at the inevitable with unblinking eyes.

The missile finally reached the three cars and the fake soldiers and exploded.

*BOOM!!*

*CRASH!*

—-—

Phil Coulson slammed the door open as he immediately proceeded to stand at front of the director who almost shitted his pants in shock.

"What the fuck, Coulson." He shouted with eyes that promised pain.

"Sir, I am very sorry, but this is important."

Nick Fury took a deep breath to calm his.. Fury and said "This better worth it. Proceed."

Coulson puts the tablet he is holding to the Fury to show something and said "A battle between mutants with an X-Man Ororo Munroe also known as Storm vs an unknown group just happened at the NYC with the end result of the unknown group being sandwich between the road."

He then slides the pictures and showed the director the state of the street.

Fury's brows furrowed as he looked at the state and said inquiringly "This.. What is this? The whole street was overturned.. What the fuck is this? Was that old magnetic also involved?"

"No, director, apparently this started with a mutant kid who tried stealing and was caught, and when the bystanders saw that the kid was mutant, X-Man Storm and what we assume to be students of Xavier appeared and saved the kid. And that's when this unknown group of people carrying high level artillery appeared and began shooting at them."

"What do you mean unknown? You can't find anything out of them?" Fury, who is a control freak and always wants to know anyone, smiled scarily whick prompted Coulson to gulp.

"W-well, as of now, the team is currently trying their best to find out anything about them..."

"You better be!"

"E-er, one more thing director.." Fury glared at him but then nodded, Coulson took this opportunity to slide the picture once more and in it, Andrew's face was as clear the sun.

"Who the fuck is that?" Fury inquired. Starting to lose his patience with all this shit.

"This, director is Andrew Detmer, the kid who destroyed Seattle and died."

At that Fury immediately stood up from his chair at the realization and said "Continue.."

"This was the kid who's body was missing after his battle with his cousin and we couldn't find, it turns out, he's still alive and kicking and was now under the care of Xavier's Institute..." Coulson continued with a serious expression on his face "And he was also along with Storm when this battle ensued... What do we do sir..?"

Fury took a deep breathe to compose himself and said seriously "They should be at the mansion now.. Prepare the team!"

"Why sir?

"We're going to steal a lollipop away from that psychic baldie."
