( {Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our Mutant dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let pry through the portage of the head
Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled rock
O'erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
To his full height. On, on, you noblest X-Men!} )

They sat or stood about the parking lot of the motel, some having camped in the field behind it. None were worried about a human coming across their often odd appearances, a few having divided up the owner and his children for spare parts the night before.
Coffee, cigarettes and matches were passed around the collection as Sam took front and center. Though he could see everyone, he accepted the suitcase from Elizabeth to give him eight inches more presence.
"Now look here." He called out, "we've got two options, our grounds or theirs. The King has given us the knowledge we need for theirs, as has Aero of more recent additions. But they could hole up there, perhaps indefinitely. When they attack, for they will- we must bring them out into the open. Once their core- that is, ( ... )

"I'll take Victor and Kyle and thin out the herd a bit, but you and yours need to keep Erik occupied," Logan told Sam once he was done talking. "He gets a hold of me and you're all dead," he reminded him, claws flicking out for a visual reminder of why.
He paused, putting the claws away, and added, "If Phoenix is there, if she's working with them, I'll handle her myself."

The moment passed, and Sam nodded down to who should have been his superior. Only the luck of timing placed himself here before Logan, and he knew experience when he saw it ( ... )

As the various parts of her unit (Rahne Sinclair at the head) made their way to their corner of the property, she couldn't really help herself, and took a note from her elder sister, humming gently under her breath.
"I fell into the burning ring of fire..."

The unit was to approach the north bit of the mansion, stay out of the way until it was good and ready to take over. She had asked to take this part of the attack, preferring to have a good bit of revenge on several physical bits of the building, for all that she knew her weapon of choice would be rather useless against him. Quietly they began to gather to take their posts, all hand signals and nods. Soon it wouldn't matter of course, but at least the beginning was worth the effort.

They were rather good, she thought, ducking down behind a rock when she stepped on something that made more noise than she liked. She could barely hear them breathing, although she was lucky she was ducked down, the sky lighting up with the light from Alex's plasma, illuminating the woods briefly. No one in front of her, at least.
Once the light had passed, she slowly got up, continuing to stalk towards the noise she'd heard.

She raised herself up, using only the most natural of winds to keep her balanced in the night air as she led herself over to where Amara should be hiding. No sound came from her progress beyond the gentle rustle of leaves from an early-morning breeze.
They couldn't be interrupted until the sun rose- Bobby needed that sun in order to be all that they needed him to be. She had to eliminate this threat quickly, quietly and without disturbing whoever took charge of protecting this area.

That's what this was all about--getting Ben out, getting him back home. Even if he was a douchebag in this universe he was still Ben, that crazy kid who could control electricity ( ... )

She looked over at Alex and smiled slightly. "It's fine," she assured him gently. Her own hand going up to adjust the headband that kept her trademark green hair in it's place.
Lorna didn't like fighting but she was capable of doing what needed to be done. Even if it required causing harm to others and she would cause harm to protect the people she loved.
