(The leader dropped on one knee to check Hugo's pulse. He was dead and she was alone. There was no way she would be able to defeat the intruder on her own. She was on the verge of tears. When Marcus made his last statement, ironically, her liquid state had run out. Her liquid body dissipated and she returned to her normal solid state. The leader was now without her power. She quickly grabbed Hugo's pistols and began firing at Marcus. The leader felt like dying when she realized that there was no more ammunition left. She had failed her team, the Sovereigns and Count.)
Leader: What do you want from the Sovereigns?
...........
(The black jet landed on the Parisian runway. Count and Psychonaut stud up from their chairs and began walking out of the plane. It was day out and the sun was at its zenith point. Count reached into his pocket and pulled out his dark sun glasses to avoid the sun's rays. He placed then on and noticed one of his agents was right in front of him.) Count: Talia what is the reason for this unexpected visit? Talia: Comte there is.. an intruder attacking the base. We were no match for him my lord. I fear that my teammates are now dead.. Forgive me for my failure.. Count: Don't worry yourself my child. You will live to fight in another battle in another day. So I hope you won't fail me when that day comes. I forgive you now, and I will have retribution for the deaths of your team mates.
(Count began walking toward the shaded area of his black jet. Psychonaut advanced to his father, but Count looked at him coldly nodding in disagreement.)
Count: Stay here with Talia and comfort her. This won't take long...
(Count sunk into the shadows and was gone. Max turned to Talia, she was on her knees crying. Crying in joy and sadness for just escaping death twice on the same day.)

"Huh?"Marcus was taken by surprise.<What WAS I doing here?> "Funny as it may sound....I need to get ammo, check out your archives to find a specific mutant, and do something to get me money for food, some new clothes, and to pass time.... You could almost say that I was looking for work."
Marcus put away his revolver and sniffed the air."You called for reinforcements, didn't you? And by the sent on the air... Some one who is very powerful." He looked at her. And almost felt sorry for her.'Almost'.

(She transformed back to her liquid state once again. The leader was about to attack once again when she received a mental message.)
You've done your part Bette. Sent him to my office, I'll deal with him myself. Oh and while you're at it get rid of those bodies.
(She stopped and stepped aside for him to pass.)
Bette: He wants to see you. He's in his office. Its the last door down the corridor.

"OK. Thanks..."Marcus said as he walked past.
He walked until he got to the door. When he looked around he noticed that it was darker than it was where he was fighting.
"Just to be on the safe side..."Marcus muttered as he gripped the doorknob. His body reproduced the metallic fur and he twisted the knob. Stopped, and knocked before doing anything else.

Count: You may enter..
(Count's firm voice echoed through out the entire corridor. He was sitting in his chair behind his desk facing the door. He pressed one of the buttons on the arm of his chair. The lights illuminated the opposite side where he sat. Count's side was light enough to see his face, but dark enough to teleport at any given time.)

Marcus entered and looked for any threats, but found none.
"I take it your the King in this game?"Marcus asked.

Count: No. I'm the hand that moves every piece on the board. Everything you see around you is under my control. I am called Count. Tell me who you are and what I can do for you.
(Count placed his elbows on his table. The tips of his fingers were touching together as he looked at the stranger. He got closer so his face was now visible.)

"I like that response. And I must admit you have a good few pieces on the board. Sorry to say that your down a few. But enough of that. Lets talk business. I'm hunting someone and I know of a few sources to start. Your's is the third in line and hopefully better than the last two." Marcus said flatly. "This person has eluded me for the past five years. Mind you this isn't one of my jobs. I want him dead for revenge. I would like to see archives of all the meta-humans that you have, some supplies to take him out, and a way to chase him. Not without doing something for you, of course."

(Count pressed a button his desk. The wall behind him opened revealing a computer screen the size of that wall.)
Count: I have computer links to every government agency in the planet. CI.A, MI6, FBI, Interpol, S.H.I.E.L.D, you name it I have it. I assure you if you can't find him on our achieves than your person is either dead or doesn't exist.

"You showed me what I want... So how do you want me to repay you?'Cause I know that information like this isn't free. Especially not with people like you and me."Marcus said. He looked into the opposing man's eyes in hope to find a clue or detail that he should notice, but found nothing in Count's blank eyes.

(Count started to think of what the young man could do in return. When all of a sudden he received a mental message from the other side of the world. He stood silent as the voice of a young woman told Count about an impending attack. She told him about Jack and his team allying with the police force of Commissioner Veronica. As the voice faded away, Count reached over to his table and grabbed two marble orbs. He began twirling them with his fingers in a circular motion. It was something that helped smooth his mind, while also helping him relax. He looked into the Marcus's eyes and spoke, breaking the long silence.)
Count: Have you ever heard of the X-men?

"Yeah. They are a bunch of vigilantes that fight for mutant rights and freedoms."Marcus said. He moved his face closer to Count's . "Do you need someone dead?"

Count: A former son of mine is going to try and destroy what I have created many years ago. My daughter, Winterfire, will handle the situation and crush the opposition with ease. They shall be killed for even thinking they have a chance against the Sovereigns. I want you to go to the Xavier Institute. I want you to infiltrate their base and destroy it. Because this mission is of great importance to my..our cause, I shall accompany you.

"OK. Just one condition. I want to know if you have any abilities, so that I may be able to work with you for maximum effect, heaven forbid we get into a brawl." Marcus said as he leaned back into a straighter position.

(In an instant Count disappeared. The door opened and he was standing right outside. He came into the room and looked at Marcus.)
Count: I have the power to control darkness and use it in anyway I choose. I can use it to teleport through shadows. At night time I receive its great power, which makes it impossible for me to die or stay dead. What can you do, my comrade?
(Count crossed his arms as he waited for Marcus to reply. He had been curious what his power was. This was the very man that killed two of his agents.)
