🕑 Added 2024-06-14 03:54:46 +0000 UTCWolverine woke up groggy and confused, his eyes narrowing as he took in his surroundings. "Where am I? How did I get here?" he demanded, his voice rough.
The Professor replied calmly, "Do you not remember what happened?"
Wolverine growled in annoyance, "If I knew, why would I be asking you?"
Peter couldn’t help but chuckle as he glanced over at Xavier. "He has a point there."
The Professor sighed, then turned back to Wolverine. "Well, from what I was told by my staff, the people who rescued you—"
"Rescue?" Wolverine scoffed, his eyes flashing with irritation. "Does it look like I need someone to rescue me?" His metal claws shot through his knuckles, extending menacingly.
Peter, unable to control his mouth, replied, "I mean, yeah? You were just unconscious in a hospital bed about ten seconds ago. Having shiny nails, or claws, or whatever those are, doesn’t really change that."
Wolverine seemed to take offense to that. Standing to his feet, he crossed the room and glared at Peter. "Shiny nails?"
Peter raised an eyebrow at him. "What’s with that look? Do you want me to knock some sense into you? Maybe if I punch you in the head a few times, you might remember what happened."
"I’d like to see you try," Wolverine replied threateningly, taking a step toward Peter.
Peter smirked, enjoying the situation a bit more than he should, but before things could escalate further, the Professor shouted, "Enough! You are both guests on my property and should begin to act like it. I will not condone any fighting on school grounds."
Wolverine’s eyes widened as he turned to the Professor. "School grounds? What the hell am I doing in a—"
Before he could finish speaking, a bright flash of lightning was seen in the distance through the windows, followed by a deafening explosion of thunder.
Peter, Xavier, and Wolverine all turned to the windows, where they saw storm clouds gathering in the distance, lightning dancing along the clouds.
After a moment of processing, Xavier muttered, "Storm..." He realized that it must be her, but what worried him was why she was using her powers. "Is she under attack?"
————
Minutes earlier, Storm flew through the sky, her heart heavy with worry as she searched for Rogue. The girl had left without a word, and Storm was determined to find her and bring her back to the school, while also getting some clarification as to what had caused her to run off in the first place.
Using her aerial advantage, Storm soon managed to spot Rogue in the street below. But to her dismay, Rogue wasn’t alone. She was surrounded by three familiar individuals: Juggernaut, Toad, and Sabertooth, all members of the Brotherhood of Mutants.
Juggernaut was a massive figure, towering over the others with his immense, muscular frame. He wore a large, red helmet that covered his entire head, leaving only his menacing eyes visible. His body was clad in a thick, red suit that seemed almost indestructible.

Toad was smaller and more agile, with a lean, wiry build. His skin had a greenish tint, and his eyes were yellow and bulging. He wore a dark, form-fitting suit that allowed for maximum mobility, his long, prehensile tongue flicking out occasionally as he taunted Rogue.

Sabertooth was the most feral-looking of the trio. He was tall and muscular, with wild, blonde hair and sharp claws extending from his fingers. His animalistic eyes glinted with malice, and his fanged grin revealed a predatory nature. He wore a rugged, fur-lined coat over his bare chest, enhancing his savage appearance.

Storm scowled at the sight of them, her eyes lingering on Rogue, who seemed to be trying to fight back as they assaulted her. However, her efforts were futile as her body was covered in small wounds. Meanwhile, her opponents looked perfectly fine.
Even worse, her attackers seemed to already know about Rogue's ability, as each of them wore gloves and other protective gear to guard against skin-to-skin contact, leaving Rogue without a single way to retaliate.
‘How do they know?’ Storm couldn’t help but wonder, her mind racing as she realized that someone from the school must have leaked it to the Brotherhood.
"Give it up, girl," Toad sneered, his tongue flicking out. "Just come quietly, and maybe we won't rough you up any more than we already have.” He smirked, “No promises though…”
Juggernaut nodded, his deep voice booming. "Just surrender, there’s no point in fighting. You’re outmatched."
Sabertooth leaned in closer, his eyes filled with sadistic glee. "Don’t make this harder than it needs to be..."
Rogue spat, her bloodied saliva smacking Sabertooth in the face, defiance burning in her eyes. "Go fuck yourself."
Sabertooth's face twisted in rage, and he lunged forward, aiming his clawed hand at Rogue's exposed neck. But just as he was about to strike, the clouds above gathered ominously, and a bolt of lightning came crashing down, impacting Sabertooth’s body in an instant, electrocuting him.
Storm hovered above the scene, her eyes glowing with power and fury. “Step away from the girl!” She commanded, her voice steady and filled with menace.
The Brotherhood members turned to face her, recognizing the new threat. “Oh, great, it’s this b*tch…” Toad groaned, a hint of fear in his voice.
"You picked the wrong day to mess with one of my students," Storm said, her voice steady and filled with menace.
Juggernaut stepped forward, cracking his knuckles. "Looks like we got the weather witch to deal with. Should we take her back to Magneto as well?"
Storm responded with a flick of her wrist, sending a bolt of lightning directly at Juggernaut. The electricity crackled and danced across his armor, causing him to grunt in pain but not stopping him. "Gonna take more than that to bring me down!" he bellowed.
Sabertooth, recovering from the initial shock, roared in anger. "Get her out of the sky, coward!" He leapt up, claws extended, but Storm easily dodged him, flying higher into the air.
Toad, using his agility, sprang into action. He leapt from tree to tree, trying to find an angle to reach Storm. With a powerful leap, he shot his long, sticky tongue toward her, aiming to entangle her. Storm spun gracefully in the air, dodging the attack and sending a gust of wind to knock Toad back down to the ground.
Juggernaut, seeing his opportunity, charged at the base of the tree Toad landed on, slamming his massive fists into it and causing it to fall. Toad used the momentum to springboard off the collapsing tree, launching himself at Storm again.
Storm countered with another bolt of lightning, striking Toad mid-air and sending him crashing to the street, twitching and smoking.
Sabertooth, meanwhile, had been circling beneath her, waiting for an opening. He spotted a moment of distraction and pounced, his claws slashing through the air. He managed to catch Storm's leg, his claws ripping through her costume and flesh.
“Aaahhh!” Storm cried out in pain but quickly retaliated with a powerful gust of wind, sending Sabertooth tumbling backward.
Juggernaut took advantage of Storm's momentary distraction, grabbing the collapsed tree and hurling it at her with incredible force. Storm barely had time to react, summoning a whirlwind to deflect the tree, but the effort took a toll on her.
Seeing her growing tired, Sabertooth and Juggernaut pressed their advantage. Sabertooth leaped at her again, while Juggernaut charged forward. Storm struggled to maintain her altitude, her injured leg throbbing with pain.
She summoned another lightning bolt, this time directing it at Juggernaut. The bolt struck him squarely in the chest, causing him to stumble and roar in pain. But before she could finish him off, Sabertooth's claws raked across her back, tearing through her costume and drawing even more blood.
Storm fell a few feet before catching herself, her vision blurring from the pain. Desperation fueled her next move as she summoned a powerful gust of wind, creating a mini-tornado around her. The wind lifted Sabertooth off his feet and hurled him into a nearby building, where he slumped to the ground, momentarily stunned.
Juggernaut, however, was relentless. He barreled through the windstorm, his sheer mass and strength making him nearly unstoppable. With a mighty leap, he reached Storm, grabbing her by her bloody ankle and slamming her into the ground.
Storm hit the ground hard, the impact driving the air from her lungs. She gasped in pain, her body not built to withstand such brutal force. Her vision blurred as she struggled to breathe, her limbs heavy and unresponsive.
She struggled to rise, but Juggernaut was already upon her, his massive fist descending. She managed to roll to the side just in time, the ground where she had been lying shattering under his punch.
Sensing their advantage, the Brotherhood members closed in on her. Toad leaped forward, landing a kick to her side that made her cry out. “How you like that b*tch!”
Sabertooth followed, raking his claws across her arm, drawing blood, roaring like an animal. “Raaa!”
Juggernaut, still smoldering from the lightning strike, grinned maliciously as he prepared to deliver another crushing blow. “You really shouldn’t have come…”
Rogue, watching from the sidelines, couldn’t stand by any longer. She saw Storm's battered form being mercilessly beaten, and a fierce determination filled her. Taking off her gloves, she crept closer to Storm’s attackers, searching for an opening.
The Brotherhood, reveling in their victory, paid no attention to Rogue. They were too busy enjoying themselves. Each punch, kick, and claw strike was delivered with sadistic glee, their hatred fueling their brutality.
Rogue's eyes scanned the chaotic scene, looking for any opportunity. Then she saw it: a small patch of Juggernaut's skin exposed through a tear in his clothing, burned open by Storm's earlier lightning attack. It was her chance.
With a burst of speed, Rogue lunged forward and pressed her bare hand against Juggernaut’s exposed skin. Instantly, her power activated, and she began to drain his life force.
Juggernaut's reaction was immediate and violent. His body seized up, and he screamed in agony, his veins bulging grotesquely as Rogue absorbed his strength. He tried to shake her off, but Rogue held on tightly, her grip unyielding.
Toad and Sabertooth turned in shock, momentarily stunned by the sudden turn of events. Rogue’s face twisted in pain as she continued to draw from Juggernaut, her own body shuddering from the intensity of his power.
Juggernaut's screams echoed through the clearing, his massive frame trembling as his strength was sapped away. Storm, seeing Rogue’s desperate move, used the distraction to summon her remaining energy. She directed a gust of wind to knock Toad and Sabertooth off their feet, giving Rogue the space she needed.
As Juggernaut's strength waned, he collapsed to his knees, his once formidable power draining away. Rogue finally let go, stumbling backward, her own body pulsing with newfound strength.
*Boom!* Juggernaut fell forward, hitting the ground with a heavy thud, unconscious and defeated.
Rogue panted heavily, the energy coursing through her making her feel both powerful and overwhelmed. She turned to Storm, who was struggling to stand, her eyes filled with gratitude and determination.
"We need to get out of here," Rogue said, her voice firm despite the exhaustion.
She rushed over to Storm, seeing that her injuries were severe. Storm, wincing in pain, tried to push her away. "Go without me. I’ll be fine..."
But Rogue refused to leave. She quickly put her gloves back on and helped Storm to her feet, supporting her to her feet. "I'm not leaving you," she said firmly.
Just as they were about to make their escape, Sabertooth's voice called out from behind. "Where do you think you’re going?" His menacing growl sent chills down their spines.
“Yeah, did you forget about us?” Toad leaped over them and landed in front, blocking their path.
With Sabertooth behind them and Toad in front, the situation looked dire. Storm pushed Rogue away, shakily standing on her own. "Go, Rogue. I’ll hold them off."
But Rogue refused once more. She removed her gloves again, standing back to back with Storm, ready to fight. "I said I’m not leaving you," she repeated, her voice filled with resolve.
Toad sneered, his yellow eyes glinting with malice. "Two little girls think they can take us on? How cute."
Sabertooth snarled, baring his fangs. "You're just making this harder on yourselves, but I don’t mind. After all, we’re going to enjoy tearing you apart."
Just as hope seemed lost and the two Brotherhood members closed in on them, a voice suddenly filled the area, catching everyone's attention. "See, I told you they were over here."
Everyone turned to see Peter arriving alongside the Professor and Wolverine, walking down the street behind Toad.
Their arrival seemed to startle Toad, who reflexively lashed out with his long tongue. But Peter sensed it coming from a mile away and held out his hand, catching the tongue with ease.
Toad’s eyes widened in shock as he found himself caught. “?!”
Feeling the slimy tongue between his fingers, Peter muttered, "Eww, disgusting..."
Without hesitation, he yanked, pulling Toad off the ground and toward him. With his other hand, Peter delivered a powerful punch squarely to Toad's face, accompanied by a sickening crack.
“Ugh?!” Toad grunted as he crumpled to the ground, unconscious, leaving Peter standing over him with a look of disgust, wiping his hand on his pants. “Gross, does anyone have hand sanitizer?”
