X Lab:
"What the hell?" Logan said in a low voice taking a step back. Storm continued to smile arrogantly placing her hands on her hips
"God this feels good!" Storm..........or the person who looked like Storm said looking herself over "It took me a while the bitch is a fighter but I finally I got through.....now the fun can really begin" She rubbed her hands together. Scott slightly turned his tense body toward the Professor while keeping his eye on Storm
"Professor what just happened here?" The Professor shook his head
"The mutant that has tried to take control of Storm has succeeded.....she's not who we think anymore" Storm shook her head in agreement
"Damn right.......The names Tacara, but you can call me Tacar" Anger boiled inside of Logan and his first instinct was to attack.....but he couldn't this was Storm.....or at least her body.....he couldn't hurt Storm.
"You leave her alone!" he growled and in spite of himself took a step forward. Jean grabbed his arm
"Logan No! We can't Storm's still in there".
"Tacar what is it that you want?" the Professor rolled forward. Storm/Tacar shook her head
"It's not about What I want old man I just do what I'm told" a smile still settled on her face....Logan never thought he could hate a smile so much especially Storms....but it wasn't her he could see it in her eyes
"Told?" Logan sneered.
"Who exactly are you working for" Scott demanded. The tension in the room was so thick Jean thought she could barely stand.
"Didn't she tell you?" Storm/Tacar twisted her lip. "Well that's odd I would think that Ms. Ororo would have told you...her friends all about it. I mean that is what friendship is about right? honesty, trustworthiness....Love?" she looked directly at Logan when the words spilled from her mouth. He clenched his hand shut STAY CALM. "Well I can't blame her no women likes to talk about past lovers in her life I think some of you should know about that....." Storm/Tacar looked to her wrist "Oh my look at the time...I have to go I can't keep the King waiting he get's so cranky when things don't run smoothly" Logan frowned
"King?"
"The Shadow King" Jean corrected "Some one from Storm's Past I should have known he'd try something....What dose he want with her?" Storm/Tacar shrugged nonchalantly
"To kiss and make up I guess. He never makes his reason's clear and who am I to judge? Break ups are never easy and I'm sure she can't wait to see him....they were very close you know" Storm/Tacar moved past them and they made no effort to stop her. Do something a voice demanded in the back of his head...Logan moved forward and swung Storm/Tacar around to face him
"Where do you think your going?!" Storm/Tacar rolled her eye's
"You X geeks always have to take the hard way out....It would be so much easier if you'd just let this go....I'll bring her back I promise."
"Like Hell" Logan growled and tightened his grip on her shoulders.
"suit yourself" Storm/Tacar's eyes turned a thick white and the palm of her hand touched his face. Electricity shot through his body and the force jerked him into the ground. Hard. Logan crouched to the ground in pain and on the verge of unconsciousness. Jean rushed to his side Storm/Tacar simply leaned her head to the side impressed with her own handy work. Looking to Scott and Jean she realized that walking out of the Lab with Storms body was not going to be easy.....Super heros always had something to prove....so why deny them that.
"Hey! egg head I'll make you a deal you let me walk out of here....unharmed and I promise you'll get your shot at winning her back..." she shrugged "granted you'll fail miserably but It'll be a hell of a show anyway"
"What if we refuse" Scott moved forward ready to take her out.
"I don't think that would be wise Cyc. I could bring this place down with a violent sneeze with everyone in it and live to tell about it......you all know that. Let me go and we fight on fair ground" There was silence. Considering his options the Professor simply bowed his head in agreement. Storm/ Tacar smiled brightly "Your not so closed minded after all Q-ball meet us at this address" she gestured with her hand toward the floor and a bolt of lightning stuck the place beside her leaving in it's place a series of letters and numbers. "Don't be Late" was all she said and hurried out of the Lab. Scott began to run after her
"Scott No!" The Professor demanded
. "We can't just let her leave!"
"We need to regroup she is much stronger then our Storm and I believe we will get our chance to get her back, but I can't risk the lives of the other students to do so" Scott took in the information and reluctantly agreed.
Kings Lair:
"We have her King, Tacar is bringing her back now"
Griff bowed his head in the darkness.
"Excellent. and What of the X-men?" Griff hesitated
"T---She let them live. They let her go without incident." The Kings breathing became heavy
"She let them live?! They will come for her! We can not afford error"
"Yes King I know but when they do come for her it will be on our territory there are only three of them and many of us they will not last long."
"Let us hope so for your sake Griff or you will go to the dogs like you brother" Griff winced at the memory "Of course---"
