Chapter One

Storm stood against the mansion’s second story railing; she looked down onto the entrance hall where several members of the Brotherhood where in the process of bringing some of their equipment into the mansion, while at the same time some of her fellow team mates were in the process of getting ready to leave on their missions. But it wasn’t the movers themselves that she was actually watching; she was watching Jubilee as she tried to talk Sabertooth into letting her measure his teeth.

“ You want to tell us what that is about?” Mystique asked as she came up behind her.

“ I have no idea what you are talking about.” Storm said as she fingered the wide metal choker that she wore.

“ My dear Sheila,” Pyro said as he moved to flank her. “She just measured my bite radius in order to determine whether or not I am sleeping with you. I think for that alone, I at least deserve an explanation.”

“ If you insist.” Storm said as she took a deep breathe as though to brace herself. “ I made the mistake of leaving my room with out checking my neck. Inadvertently showing a rather large hickey.”

“ Well,” Mystique said as she gestured with her hands “ You know we are not going to let you leave until we get to see it.”

Storm just took another deep breath as she reached behind her in order to undo her choker. She then turned so that both of them could see the left side of her neck, and then pulled aside her neckline so that they had a clear view of the giant hickey that covered the side of her neck complete with teeth marks.

“ Holy shit.” Mystique hissed as she took in the colorful bruise. “ Looks like some one tried to suck your skin off.”

“ And I enjoyed every minute of it. The problem is of course that now just about every one in the mansion is trying to figure out who I am sleeping with.” Storm said with the air of someone who has had to explain themselves more times than necessary, as she straightened out her shirt and replaced her choker.

“ Well good for you.” Mystique said in a poor attempt to get along. “ Its about time you got laid.”

“ Can always rely on you to be blunt Mystique.” Storm said with an exasperated laugh. “ Come on the professor wants to have one last briefing before we split up into teams.” She said as she fell in to the old camaraderie that had been born from the different times that they had been forced to work together. She turned on her heel and beckoned for them to follow her as she led the way to the elevator that would take the three of them down to the basement level.

They were delayed for a couple of minutes since they had to dodge the revolving inhabitants of the mansion. By the time they finally made it to the basement and from there they found the rest of the team was waiting for them through the gleaming steel corridors to X-men’s briefing room.

“ Ahh, there you three are.” Professor Xavier called once they had cleared the doorway.

“ Sorry for the delay.” Storm said as she seated herself between Cyclops and Wolverine not the most desired spot considering the arguments that had a tendency to occur between the two, but better then having someone from the brother hood sitting there, less chance of blood shed. She took a moment to take stock of who was all was in the room. The meeting was made up of primarily team leaders with their second in commands thrown in for good measure.

“ If every one is ready we can start.” He addressed to the rest of the room getting a general consent from the nine mutants who had spread themselves out around the table. “ Okay, I know that we have covered this before, but for my own piece of mind I figured that I might as well cover it again. We are up against the demonic warlock Mcklaw. He has amassed a cult of both normal and super powered individuals for the sole purpose of opening a portal to his home world.” As he said this the projector in the middle clicked on creating a hologram of a tall slender man who was deathly pale save for the dark blue horns growing out of his head and his eyes which where blood red. He was dressed in what looked like blue body armor and a matching blue cape.

“ What exactly are his powers Professor? You were never real clear on that.” Cyclops asked.

“ So far he has shown super human strength, accelerated healing, energy manipulations, and some magic abilities. But he seems to prefer a more physical approach when it comes to fighting.” Xavier explained.

“ So the usual.” Mystique said. Startling a laugh out a couple of the other mutants.

Professor Xavier simple raised his eyebrow and then continued on with the briefing. “ In order to do this, he needs to recover the Guardian Gate idol,” He continued as the projection changed to show a medium sized bronze statue of a winged dragon with a mane of snakes. “ According to legend, with the right ceremony it can open a portal to any dimension.”

“ Do we know the ritual?” Jean asked from where she sat between Professor X and Cyclops.

“ No we do not.” The Professor replied. “ The idol is currently residing in our vaults here at the mansion. To counteract this threat Eric and myself have decided that we should pool our resources. So we will be breaking you up into three teams that are being co lead by an X-men and a member of the brotherhood.” Xavier paused as he waited for this to sink in. “ The first and smallest team will be actively searching for Mcklaw. This one will be lead by Cyclops and Mystique, their team will be made up of Jean, Shadowcat, Pyro, Rogue, the Blob, and Quicksilver. The Second team will be stationed here at the mansion and will protect the idol. They will be lead by Magneto and Storm. Their team will have one of the hardest tasks and most difficult problems. It will contain Gambit, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Juggernaut, Sabertooth, Wanda, and Wolverine.”

“ Do you think that is wise Professor?” Beast asked from the other side of wolverine. “ I mean given the bad blood between some of the team members….”

“ I can control myself. It’s that walking rug you should worry about.” Wolverine added.

“ Oi, where do you get off calling him a rug fuzzy.” Pyro shot back.

“ Enough both of you lets just get this over with.” Wanda said.

“ Every one else will be with me at the central base to will be set up in the savage lands. Thanks to Beast’s latest invention the two teams will be able to switch out wounded team members as well as having an option to retreat should things look dire.” Xavier said as the projector shut off. “ Are there any questions?” every one just looked around and started to make negative motions whether they just shook their head or started to get up. “ Storm, Eric could you wait a moment.” He requested. The two newly appointed co-leaders shared a look and returned to their seat. “ I just one to stress this. The Idol is what is important. You must protect not the mansion. If you have to pull back hopefully by the time that you are forced to with draw we will have fortified the base camp.”

“ Melodramatic, isn’t he.” Jaugernut said as he meet Storm’s eyes.

“ Has he always been this way or is this a new development?” she fired back.

“ If you two are quite through.” Xavier said as he gave both of them an unreadable look.

“ Are we through?” Storm asked.

“ Yes, I believe that we are.” Jaugernut said with an obvious tone of amused disbelief.

“ Then if the two of you will follow me, we’ll see or teams off.” He said as he wheeled his chair out from behind the briefing table. As he lead the why out he couldn’t help but comment on Storm’s unusual behavior. “ I have never known you to be this playful before.” He commented.

“ Does it perhaps have something to do with the young gentlemen that placed that interesting mark on your neck.” Magneto teased.

“ A lady never kisses and tells.” Storm shot back at them over her shoulder.

“ I do believe that this experience might not be as bad as I thought it would be.” Magneto said as he ushered her ahead of them into the elevator.

Storm simply laughed as she proceeded the to into the elevator that would take them up to the mansion’s entry hall.

“ As glad as I am that you have found some one. I worry though that you might not keep your mind on this mission. You are not even in uniform.” The Professor said as the elevator started to make its way up.

“ You have nothing to fear, Professor my gentleman friend is well aware of the fact that I will be unavailable for a while. Which is exactly why I am not in costume, our lunch date ran long.” She said as the doors of the lift opened.

It was an example of organized chaos that met their gaze when the elevator doors open. They slowly made there way into the large marble entryway that was crowded with members of both the X-men and the brotherhood. The two teams where glares, threats, and insults being thrown around between the teams. Though there where also signs of welcome and recognition between members of both teams that had worked together before. Looking across the lobby she could see how the different group structures and interactions could easily be mistaken as the plot of a soap opera. Just from where she was she could see a pair of mortal enemies that where being forced to work together in a mutual goal, a pair of lover being split with no guarantee that either would return alive, and a couple of other soap opera clichés thrown in.

“ Ladies and gentlemen,” Professor Xavier called using his telepathic ability to insure that he had their attention. “ I just want to thank you all for coming forward at this time to fight beside us. I also wish that I will see all of you when this is over.” He said as he wheeled him self over to where Beast was stacking up some equipment that was destined for the base camp. “ So if you would all break up into your groups we can get started.”

“ Okay, my team is meeting in the observatory.” Storm called as she took the professors actions and words as her queue. “ So Magneto, Sabertooth, Wanda, and Juggernaut if you will grab you stuff I will show you the way. Kurt, Peter, and Logan we will see you there.” She said as she led the way out of the entry hall. It wasn’t until Magneto jerked his head toward her and went to get his bag that the brotherhood members actually started to move.

“ Ok, weather witch spill why was china doll checking bite radiuses.” Sabertooth said as he lengthened his stride so that he was directly behind her. “ All I got out of her was that there was something about a hickey.”

“ I am also curious.” Wanda said as watched Storm expertly flip her hair back so that it hit Sabertooth in the face forcing him to take a couple of steps back.
“ Well apparently Storm here, has found herself a gentlemen friend.” Magneto said as he placed a restraining hand on Sabertooth’s arm. “ And he left her with a love bite that takes up the left side of her neck, complete with a clear and recognizable set of teeth marks.” There remarks where met with some chuckling from the male members of the group.

“ He didn’t like the fact that I was leaving for an unspecified amount of time.” Storm replied as she pushed open the doors that lead to the glass-enclosed observatory that served as an indoor green house/meeting room.

“ So he gave you a hicky.” Rumbled out of the Juggernaut.

“ He wanted to make sure I remember him.” Storm said as lead the way through the numerous plants that filled the room to a circle of eclectic furniture in the center of the room. “ Please take a seat, once the others get here we will start.”

“ Where exactly are they?”

“ They are making sure that the mansion is read for shut down.” Storm replied as she sat her self down in a wicker chair that had a large fan style back that had been taken over by a flowering vine. “ When we enter into full lock down this is going to be the only room that will be getting sunlight.”

“ That most be rough on you.” Scarlet Witch said.

“ Yes, it is. Which is why I had this room wired and designed to act as security central.” Storm replied as she gestured to an end table to her left. “ The mosaic on this table is actually a control panel.” She then pressed down on two of the tiles causing several holographic scenes to pop up, each of them showing a different area of the mansion and grounds. She then pushed another two tiles in quick secession that brought up two specific views one was of the drive way where they could see the rest of their team mates leaving while the other showed the other half of their team making their way toward them. “ The glass is the same type used at the Avengers building. It is completely shatterproof, bulletproof, and shock proof.”

“ I can vouch on that.” Juggernaut rumbled. “ I have tried to break in there enough times.” He said off hand as he made his way over to one of the walls pulled his fist back and nailed it. A slight ripple effect was the only response the wall had to this action. Juggernaut turned back to them shaking his now sore fist.

“ That was stupid.” Wolverine growled as he leaned against one of the few trees in the room. “ Weren’t there more plants in here?”

“ I moved some of the rarer ones to a safer location.” Storm replied.

“ I noticed that a lot of items have been relocated.” Kurt said as he sat himself down on a footstool placing himself between Storm and Sabertooth.

“ I got permission from the Professor to move some of the more valuable items in case the worst should happen and we lose the mansion again.” Storm replied as she watched the other X-men arrange themselves amoung their new teammates.

“ Are there any other questions before we start this mission in earnest.” Magneto asked from there it quickly degenerated into a question and answer session, which was only interrupted by a sudden clanging sound that echoed throughout the mansion.

“ It has begun.” Storm said.

Storm simply shook her head. “ I am surprised this didn’t happen earlier.” Were the first words out of Storm’s mouth when she saw the all out brawl that had broken out in the mansion’s cafeteria.

“ Considering the fact that we have been cooped up together for three weeks with no end in sight, I think they have shown a lot of restraint.” Scarlet Witch defended as she ducked in order to avoid getting nailed by a flying chair.

“ I think they have had enough fun.” Storm said as her eyes misted over and a windstorm swept through the room flinging the combatants away from each other. Once everything had been settled she made her way further into the room. “ Would some one like to tell me what this is about?” she asked as she looked over the now downed combatants.

“ It was a simple misunderstanding.” Magneto drawled as he pulled his helmet off and dabbed at the cut he was now sporting on his brow. “ Wolverine and Sabertooth had an altercation, which then spread to the rest of us.”

“ I don’t suppose that you would like to tell me what this altercation was about?” Storm asked as she rested her hip against a table the miraculously survived the brawl.

“ It is not a subject that would be polite to bring up in front a lady.” Nightcrawler said.

“ Of course it isn’t.” Storm said as she rubbed her temples. “ OK you two,” she said as she moved to face the two feral mutants. “ This is the seventh fight you two have had, the second that involved other parties. The best that I have come up with is that these are nothing more then juvenile dick measuring contests and there is only one way I can think of to resolve this. Nightcrawler if you are up to it could you go get a ruler for me we will put an end to this nonsense for good.” Storm said with a tone of finality that set every one on edge. “ As for you two would you like to do this here or in private?” She asked.

“ That depends what are we going to be doing.” Sabertooth asked as he eyed her warily.

“ Seeing who has the biggest pair so do you to want to drop them here or some where else.” Storm stated matter a factly. Her announcement was met with varied reactions. Sabertooth and Wolverine where staring at her in shock, Scarlet witch gave out a startled eep, Magneto and Juggernaut muffled a couple of chuckles, and Colossus topped them all with a full body blush.

This was the sight that met Nightcrawler’s eyes when he ported back into the cafeteria. “ Vhats vrong?”

“ I am not flashing the Brotherhood!” Wolverine roared.

“ Ok, I think I have missed something.” Nightcrawler stated as he looked around at everyone else.

“ Our dear, Storm is proposing a measuring of attributes between Sabertooth and Wolverine.” Magneto said as he signaled for Scarlet Witch to leave the room. She looked at him like he was nuts but turned to leave.

“ I will go man the cameras.” She said as she left the room her cape snapping behind her.

Leaving Storm to face a room of still slightly stunned men. “ Well gentlemen what are you waiting for, here or in private.” Storm said as she took the ruler from Nightcrawler and slapped it against her palm.

“ Can you give us a minute?” Sabertooth said.

“ Sure you have one hour.” Storm said as turned on her heel and headed out of the cafeteria.

“ Was I the only one who found that disturbing?” Juggernaut rumbled as he watched Strom turn the corner down the hall.

“Actually I am hard.” Sabertooth said as he rearranged himself.

“ Well bub, you got a hour to lose it.” Wolverine said.

“ Tell me is she normally this forceful.” Magneto asked as he righted one of the few chairs that had survived intact.

“ Only when she is under stress.” Colossus said as he took a queue from Magneto and started to right the rest of the furniture that had survived the brawl. “ I didn’t expect this part of her to rear its head for at least another week.”

“ I think part of it is that she is missing her new friend.” Wolverine said as he kicked some of the larger pieces of debris to the side.

“ Well if its sexual tension that is the problem then I would be more then happy to help.” Sabertooth chipped in his face just screaming the fact that he wanted a fight, but before someone could take him up on it the mansion shook with an unknown force. “ Looks like she is going to have another way to work off her frustrations.” He said the men made a mad dash toward the source of the blast.

“ I know this is tacky but can I just say that I am glad that they chose now to attack.” Colossus said as he barreled threw the sulfuric cloud that Nightcrawler left behind. “ I had no desire to see exactly who was the bigger of those two.”

Storm came running from the direction of the security room coming very close to colliding with Juggernaut. “ Quickly, it originated from the upper west wing.”

“ Shit my stuffs in there.” Juggernaut snarled as he steadied her and moved to edge his way towards the front of the group.

“ Good to know what your priorities are.” Wolverine snarled as he rushed after him.

“ Gentlemen lets please focus our animosity not at each other but at our shared enemy.” Scarlet witch’s voice came over the mansions intercoms. “ There is a force twenty men strong that are just starting to penetrate the western wall. Looks like a bunch of Zealots with a couple of high priests.”

“ So cannon fodder and magic users.” Sabertooth said as he started jockeying with Wolverine for second position.

“ Way to show empathy.” Colossus said as he shifted in his metal form. There wasn’t much more chance for talking as the mansion was rocked by another explosion. That sent some of the less sure-footed members where thrown into walls and the other team members, Wolverine who was in the middle of taking a step when the shaking occurred causing him to fall into Sabertooth taking them both down. They took a moment to straighten themselves out before they continued to make their way toward the source of the explosions.

“ Where are they in a accordance to us?” Storm called out hoping that Scarlet witch heard her.

“ They are in direct line of sight of the western balcony. Turn to you r left and take the stairs and you should be able to see them from the bay window at the top of the stairs I am lifting the shield there.” Scarlet witch replied.

“ What are we waiting for?” Wolverine growled as he gave one of his trademark feral grins.

“ For you to get off of my tail.” Nightcrawler shot back as he looked pointedly at the pinned appendage. After Wolverine moved his foot the group made their way up the stairs once the reach the top they got a good look at exactly what they where facing.

“ This is going to be fun.” Sabertooth said with a psychotic grin spreading across his face.

Over the next couple of hours the combined team of brotherhood and x-men fought what soon shown itself as a losing battle. Storm looked around at her team she thanked the goddess that they hadn’t lost anyone. “ We have no choice. We need to fall back to the vault. We have to get the idol either out of here or destroy it.” Storm said as she sent a lightening bolt toward the zealots that seem to be swarming the mansion.

“ Then lets go.” Magneto said as he ripped the metal paneling off of the wall and threw it at their enemies. He then used the time that he had gained them to seal off the hallway with the rest of the paneling.

“ This way.” Storm said as she led the way to the mansion’s basement. The group made good times as the traversed the mansion’s maze like basement. “ When we get inside get ready to seal the door.” She yelled as she inserted the code and allowed for a retinal scan to be done. As the door to the vault door swings open the hallway shook in a way that signaled that someone or something truly powerful was on its way. “ Hurry.” Storm said as she gestured for her team to precede her into the vault.

“ This feels a little cowardly for my taste.” Colossus said as he looked around the circular vault that currently housed the idol.

“ The professor’s orders where we do ever thing in our power to see that the idol didn’t fall into his hands.” Nightcrawler said in attempt to give credit to Storm’s actions. There where some other grumbling as they moved to circle the idol.

“ Goddess I wish I was in Gotham right now.” Storm muttered as start to channel her powers in the hopes of being able to destroy the idol, only to be blinded when the idol seemed to suddenly explode. The last thing she heard was Wolverine’s “ Oh shit.”

When the light died down and Storm gained back use of her eyes she cursed. They where no longer in the vault or in immediate danger this was the good news. The bad news was that they where in what appeared to be the backyard of her farmhouse just outside of Gotham, the neutral news was the idol had survived and had was now lying at her feet.

“ Where are we?” Scarlet Witch asked as she stepped closer and slightly behind her father.

“ On a small farm just outside of Gotham city.” Storm said as she rubbed her temples.

“ And how would you know that, and for the matter where is Gotham?” Juggernaut asked condescendingly.

“ I own it and we are in an alternate universe.” Storm said she bent down to pick up the idol. “ Follow me I will explain inside.” She ordered as she led them towards her back door.

“ Why would you have a house in an alternate dimension?” Magneto asked as he followed her.

“ It was the only place I could get some peace and quiet.” Storm replied as she pulled a key out of her belt and unlocked the back door. “ Juggernaut if you would go around to the left there should be some French doors that you can fit through I go unlock them once I am inside.” She said as she pointed towards the garden side of the house. Juggernaut nodded and headed towards where she pointed.

“ How did you get here or should I say travel?” Kurt asked.

“ There is a portal in the woods behind the mansion.” Storm explained as she flipped a light switch illuminating her top of the line kitchen. “ It you guys would head on into the living room I will let Juggernaut in.” she said as she pointed toward one door way while she headed for another. She took a bracing breath as she walked through her dining room and opened the two doors that lead out onto her patio.

“ Steady X-man.” Juggernaut rumbled once he got a clear look at her face after he had ducked his head in order to clear the doorway.

“ Come on everybody should be in the living room.” Storm said turned on her heel and readied herself for the collision that was bound to occur when her two lives meet.
