Wrath and Revenge

Chapter Twenty Four

Rachel has dropped us off where she collected us and gave me a quick hug. She sends me a sincere "Hope to see you again sometime. I missed our long evening conversations and I am sure that the others think the same." I only nod and give her a fake seeming smile. If I am honest I must admit that the little talks we had weren't as awkward as I thought. For a moment, I almost forgot that we are actually enemies who fight each other regularly in epic fights with a lot of chaos and victims. Maybe, we aren't death enemies after all; like Magneto and the Professor.

They still like each other even after 50 years of hostility. It's remarkable that after everything that has happened between them they are still able to fall asleep in each other's arms. Magneto would never admit it but I know that he secretly loves Xavier. Maybe not as lover, but as a brother and this is heart breaking, too. I know that Magneto secretly hopes that Xavier and his entourage will join our cause one day so they can fight side by side like both always wanted. There is a chance that it will happen one day but first we need to open their eyes and make them recognise our real situation.

"What took you so long?" Callisto shouts as she senses us walking down towards the living room where everyone is already sitting. "We will have to leave this place. Now! " Magneto announces and everyone turns to him in shock. "Didn't you hear me? Pack your things and prepare our depart. We cannot stay here anymore." With this said, he leaves the living room in a fast pace. Everyone, including me, is confused. "What the hell happened? Please don't tell me that you revealed our hideout!" Callisto rises from the couch with an angry expression. "No, we didn't. It's far more complicated." Everyone turns to me in order to get an explanation. "You heard him. Evacuate this place and prepare everything to leave as fast as you can." I order and head towards my room. Magneto wants us to leave because the X-Men know where we are now and this is against our plans. They would never attack us now, but you can never know.

I don't own many things; just a few clothes, books and a few weapons which I stole on several occasions. I stuff everything into my backpack, which looks like it has survived five wars, and change into my battle attire. You can never know what will happen on the way to our new home, whatever and wherever it might be. I trust Magneto to have something in mind already since he is a great strategist.
Sabretooth hammers against my door loudly. "Come on! We're ready!" Man, they are way faster than me. "Coming!" I run out of my room to catch up with the others.

Everyone enters our pimped flying vehicle and takes a seat. Everything is so rushed but Magneto acts like he is in a state of pure relaxation. "Where are we going?" I ask. "Poland." Why should we head to Poland? It's true that we could hide there perfectly but how did he come to the idea? I better don't ask. "Toad, blow it up." Toad takes out some kind of remote and pushes the big red glowing button. "Ten seconds." Why do they want to blow it up? The authorities will never find our traces anyways. I rather don't question this and get ready for a long trip to Poland, our new home.

"You know that you will be our translator once we are there." Pyro throws in to break the silence. I nod tiredly. "You could also try to learn the language, Pyro. Polish is a beautiful language and with your high intellect you will be able to master it faster than you can imagine." I smirk at him what he doesn't find funny. "Are you trying to offend me?" I nod again and the others laugh. We are all tired and everyone wants a bed. Thankfully, Magneto assured us that we will land soon in a little village which he describes as special. No one knows why he calls it special and I cannot read his mind either since he's wearing his helmet.

"There it is." Magneto points at a little village beneath us and everyone checks it out in curiousity. I don't understand what is so special about it. It is surrounded by wide fields and on the horizon you can recognise some mountains and a small river. It reminds me of the landscape in my home Romania. Oh Romania, I haven't been there since almost two years now. I don't even know what my family there is doing but I am sure that they know what I am doing. Hopefully, they are alright and they understand my actions.
