Just a talk, I swear.

[Boom/Jade Smith]

Boom and Jade walked around in the capital of the United States. The two had travel a long distance together since Jade's house was destroyed, and Boom had no real idea where they were heading.

Boom: "Where are we going? I thought we were training to get away from the mutant haters, not move closer to them."

Boom asked the older lady who treated him some what like a son.

Jade: "I know but there is a man I need to talk to before we travel anymore. I need to try to get things worked out."

She answered back simply and continued to move forwards, followed behind by the teenager. Boom wasn't sure about what she was fixing to do but he trusted her. Jade was a smart lady who always kept them out of trouble.

The two now approached a tall building.

Jade: "Stay out here. I'll go in on my own."

She said and started to walk up the steps to the entrance.

Jade: "And don't do anything stupid."

Boom: "Alright you can trust me." He said with a small smirk.
--------------------------------******-----------------------------------------
Jade: "John I need to talk to you." Jade said pushing a office door open and forcing herself in.

John: "Aww, Jade Smith, what a surprise." The man said sitting at his desk.

Jade: "I need you to stop what your doing! Killing others for different isn't right and you know it!" She shouted out leaving out the introduction.

John: "What are you talking about?" He said playing dumb.

Jade: "You know dam well what I'm talking about. You need to stop the Sentinel project before it gets out of hand. Thousands of people are going to die because of it, and you'll just be adding to the war."

John: "And since when did you care about the lives of mutants Ms. Smith? Oh wait, that's right, you are one. Don't think I wouldn't of found out. We were so close you couldn't hide your gift from me for to long. I figured that you would of come here after your home was destroyed. You never did tell me why you left me. How 'bout telling me now?"

Jade: "You sent them to kill me?" She said talking about the humans who came and destroyed her house.

John: "No. I simply sent them to startle you. Get you away from the place you call home. Weaken you. And to have someone I can test my Sentinels out on, but what good can a telepath do against them?"

Jade said noting now. She was tired of hearing him talk. Reasoning with him wasn't going to work. She was going to have to enter his mind and change it herself, but for some reason she couldn't enter.

John: "Are you trying to get into here?" He said pointing at his head. "Like I stated earlier I figured you were coming here so I invented this little device." He said and pointed to a bluetooth look device on his left ear. "It keeps people like you out of my head. Your powerless against me." He said and began to laugh. "I'm going to be kind to you. I could just kill you and your friend right now, but that will be to easy. I want you two to prepare yourselves and give my machines a challenge. You have 3 day until you are attacked, and then killed. Now get out of my office." He said with a grin.

Jade turned around and walked out of the office. She hopped to stop the Sentinel project from launching, but she was out of luck. She just hopped that she could find a other way.
------------------------------*****----------------------------------------------
Jade: "Come on lets go. I'm done here."

Jade said passing up Boom who was laying down on one of the benches playing around with a plasma ball he had in his hand.

Boom sat up and absorbed the ball.

Boom: "What happened? You look pissed."

Jade: "Shut up. I'll explain in a bit."

Yup, Jade really did treat Boom like a son.

[Mindcontrol]

(Jade looked at Sara, something about the girl made her worry. It was strange, she hadn't completely trusted her, yet she had saved her life. All Jade wanted to do was stop John from launching his Sentinel program.)

Jade: Once we land, what's the plan?

Winterfire: Find Trask and Loyd and destroy everything. If one piece of evidence of the Sentinel project is found, it might be used again in the future to rebuild those robots.

Jade: Sounds fair, but if we meet Trask or Loyd, what will we do?

Winterfire: We have to do whatever it takes.

(Without looking at Jade, Sara half smiled darkly. Both women stayed quite for the rest of the trip. The plane slowly made its landing on the runway. It continued running slowly, finally coming into an abrupt stop. Sara checked her time, its was 3:40 A.M. Knowing her father, Count must have already killed Leech. Like the boy, the next two were never going to see the sunrise. Jade and Sara stood up and walked to the back of the plane. Sara pulled the lever that opened the plane's back door. While Jade got inside the car and started the engines. Sara opened her door and got into the next seat. Jade backed the car and drove off. Sara had already agreed to let Jade drive, since she was the only one that knew where to go.)

[Mindcontrol]

(As Jade drove the car to the Sentinel factory. She had been thinking if Sara and herself were alone capable of destroying all the Sentinels. Jade looked at Sara, she seemed confident enough. Jade turned a right into an alley and parked the car where it would be safe. The two women exited the car and started walking casually across the street. Two men were guarding the entrance to the building. Sara quickly pointed at their weapons, and heated them. Once the guards recognized Jade, they pulled out their 9mm handguns and prepared to fire. However, the extreme heat burned their hands and dropped their guns. Jade ran and punched each one to the face, knocking them into unconsciousness. Sara opened the door and both walked inside. Four guards stood with automatic guns blocked the stairs. Jade and Sara separated, hiding behind two different pillars. They began firing, each bullet chipped away parts of the pillars. The guards ran out of bullets and began to reload, while this was happening, Sara charged her lightning and fired at the men. The guards fell to the ground, the lightning had caused temporarily paralysis. Sara walked over and picked up one of the weapons and headed to Jade. Jade looked at Sara with a curious look on her face.)

Jade: We're no going to kill anybody, are we?

Winterfire: Your powers have little to no effect against Sentinels and I'm guessing John has some waiting for us.

Jade: Let's take the stairs, the elevator is probably booby trapped.

Winterfire: He's on the top floor, isn't he?

(Jade nodded as she took the gun from Sara and picked up enough ammo to last. The two turned and headed up stairs, ready for anything John had to throw at them.)

[Mindcontrol]

(Jade and Sara climbed the stairway, until they had reached the door to the second floor. Jade kicked down the door, and Sara sent a fire into the room. The blast was not used to kill anyone, the smoke from the flames made it impossible for any human to stay there for long. A few moments later, some of the guards came running out of the room. Jade immediately sent mental attacks, knocking out the guards without the mental resistant devices. Charging her lightning, Sara pointed her two deadly fingers at the remaining guards and zapped them into a paralyzed state. Sara walked into the room, she raised her hands and all the smoke disappeared. The room was really a long corridor, the ceiling was enormous, reaching about twenty-five feet. Jade scanned the entire corridor, looking for any Sentinels and more importantly Loyd and Trask. After she was done she turned to Sara.)

Jade: Four Sentinels, one on either side coming up. The last two are in the end of this corridor, blocking the stairs that lead up to John's office. There we will find both him and Trask.

(Sara nodded and the two walked across the corridor. The first two Sentinels activated the moment they saw Jade and Sara.)

Sentinels: Mutant DNA detected. Primary Object: Eliminate Mutants.

(Sara sent a blast of blue fire at one on the Sentinel's heads. The fire began to melt the robot's armor, revealing its robotic skull. The Sentinel fired missiles at Sara, she countered them by blasting them. The missiles exploded, Sara made a dome like fire shield to protect herself. She quickly charged her lightning and pointed her two deadly fingers at the Sentinel and fired. It began to short circuit the robot, eventually it exploded in flames. Meanwhile, Jade ran and jumped high enough to landed on the Sentinel's shoulders. She aimed the machine gun to its head and began shooting it. This made a hole large enough for Jade to destroy the robot's brain with her hands. Using her super human strength, she thrashed the Sentinel's computer brain into a little ball. She jumped off and the two ran to take on the last two. Sara jumped into the air between the two Sentinels. While in mid air she fired flames from her soles, sending her flying. She landed perfectly on the hand bars leading up to the office. The mutant killing machines fired their laser beams while she was in mid air, inevitably destroying each other. Jade ran and climbed the stairs to the office. Sara was right behind her. Jade kicked down the door and the two entered the room. Sitting on a big chair, was John Loyd, behind him was the Sentinel inventor Bolivar Trask.)

John: I never know someone like you, even if you are a mutant, would stoop so low that you're now helping terrorists.

[Mindcontrol]

(Jade was shocked from this, but she didn't know if he was telling the truth or not. She pointed the gun at John.)

Jade: What are you talking about?

Trask: Her name is Sara Jones or Winterfire, but she goes by the alias Cate Archer. She works for The Sovereigns, a mutant terrorist group and your helping her by killing us.

Jade: I don't believe your lies! Cate what is he talking about?

(Sara ignored her question as she smiled evilly. She began charging her lightning by swinging her arms. The lightning was bright and seemed to suck the light, making everything around it darker. She pointed her two deadly fingers at Trask and fired. The lightning bolt blasted his chest, making a deep hole. Jade watched in horror, she couldn't move. All she wanted was to stop their plan, not kill them. Sara sent blue fire at John's hands. John gave a cry of pain, he tried to hold on to his magnum revolver, but dropped it. Sara walked over and gabbed him by his hair, she touched his neck with her two deadly fingers. John was shaking with fear, he turned to Jade.)

John: don't let her kill me!

Jade: Cate, Sara, whoever the hell you are! Killing him won't solve anything. We're here, we can destroy the Sentinel program for good! He doesn't have to die, he will stop making those killing machines. He doesn't have to DIE!

Winterfire: YES HE DOES! People like him will continue to make havoc on us. I have no choice, now Mr. Loyd, tell me? Are you afraid to die?

(Sara turned quickly toward Jade. Sara's face looked psychotic, but her hellfire eyes were filled with anger. She was about to kill the man, make him regret ever challenging the mutant race, make him suffer. Until she felt something in her head, it was like a punch to the mind. She turned and looked at Jade, evilly. Sara pointed her fingers to the window and fired. She walked back and fired in John's neck, before pushing him out the window. Jade gave a cry of horror as he fell, died on the ground. Jade looked away, her eyes were becoming watery. Sara pointed her fingers at Jade and began to smile.)

Winterfire: Join me, you have potential. The Sovereigns will be good to you. What do you say, partner?

Jade: No, I will never ever work with you, again. I'm getting out of here, you can destroy this place on your own. Thats what your good at, isn't it!?!

Winterfire: You were my partner today, but tomorrow you will be my enemy. Mind you, I don't good easy on people who turn their back on me. You might want to get the guards out of this building, because this place is going down.

(Jade turned around and started running away. Sara looked around the room and walked over to John's computer .She pulled out a chip and inserted into the computer. She began to type some commands on the keyboard. After a few moments a voice said, "Downloading Sentinel Project." Images of the Sentinel blueprints popped up on the screen. After the download, Sara grabbed the chip and placed it in her pocket. She blasted the computer before running out of the office. As she ran through the corridor, Sara shot blasts of blue fire in every direction. She aimed mainly for all the machines around the room. She reached the stairs and climbed down and was out of the building. She looked across the street and there were the unconscious guards, but Jade was gone. She turned to the building and took a deep breath. She aimed at the door way and unleashed the fiery beast into the building. The flames raced inside, through every opening, every room. Sara walked back into the middle of the street and looked at the burning building.)

Winterfire: The Sentinel Project is now destroyed, except for this.

(Sara held the computer chip and looked at it with an evil grin, as she ran back to her car.)

[Mindcontrol]

(As Sara drove back to her plane, numerous things were going through her mind. She was mainly thinking about how every partnership always ended. When she first joined the Sovereigns, there was Jack, then Tank, and now Jade. Why did it matter to Sara? A part of her knew Jade would never join the Sovereigns. However, for the first time in a while she felt alone. This made her think of Vertigo, "I must be ill." she thought. If the alliance with the Brotherhood is made, maybe she would make a new partner. The next though that came to mind was if the Brotherhood would accept making Sentinels for Sara? The Sentinels were in fact responsible for the deaths millions of mutants in Genosha. The last thought was of the X-men. The Brotherhood will Allie with the Sovereigns and Sara's Sentinels will be made. After that they would have enough numbers and power to end the X-men. Sara was approaching the runway and drover her car into the plane. She got out and pulled the lever, closing the ramp. As she turned she yelled her usual order to the pilots.)

Count: Finished your business errands?

(Sara turned and looked at Count, he was sitting on one of the seats. Somehow she wasn't surprised he was there.)

Winterfire: Yes and what about the boy?

Count: He's done, the cure's future is over, but there are still those cures that have already been made. However they are useless. I also managed to kill one of the X-men.

(Sara smiled, the thought of one of them gone would make up for Tank's death. The engines of the plane began to start and the plane itself began to move. She walked over and sat down next to him. Sara pulled the computer chip and showed it to Count.)

Winterfire: I have something that will help our conquest. This chip contains all the necessary information on the Sentinel project, including how to build them. If we can make our army of Sentinels, we will be unchallengeable.

Count: Winterfire don't you think it will be disrespectful to the Brotherhood. These mutant killing machines are the reason the Brotherhood is working underground in Genosha.

Winterfire: Our base in Paris is underground, we're under humans, every mutant is already underground. The Sentinels will help bring us to the top. Yes they are mutant killing machines, but if we reprogram them from scratch, then we can make them do what we want.

Count: Very well, but its the Brotherhood that will ultimately decide.

Winterfire: Oh course, so where's Psychonaut?

Count: He'll meet us in Genosha. I hope you know what you're going to say, because you are the one that has to convince them.

Winterfire: Don't worry I'm good with people.

(As the plane began to rise into the sky, Count and Sara strapped themselves to their seat belts. The plane was now in the air and headed toward the direction of Genosha. Sara looked at Count, he was not tired at the least, he never slept. Sara closed her eyes and immediately fell to sleep.)
