I laughed at the comment too. Only Rick would make an observation like that.
You also did good with Magneto, Sam. He sounded just like he did in the movies. Very well done.
Great chapter, Sam. Can't wait to see what happens next.

the next two chaps are going to be the battle! jake gets his just desserts and Logan and Frank are a tag team made in heaven (or hell if your on the recieving end) mmmmm this will be interesting! enjoy! luv sam x
In the basement, everyone could hear the fire alarm sounding. Alexx was starting to worry, “Horatio, do you think that they’re okay?” Horatio stood staring at the ceiling with his hands on his hips, “they’ll be fine Alexx, Calleigh knows what she is doing.” “They have been a while up there. Do you think that they’ve run into trouble?” Speed shared Alexx’s concerns, as did everyone else. Horatio looked around at all of the worried faces, “I’ll find out.” He closed his eyes and concentrated. He stood in silence for a few moments then suddenly opened his eyes, “Mystique is up there with them, Magneto will soon follow.” “Horatio honey, he’s already here. He can sense him outside with an army of mutants.” Everyone looked at Alexx then towards Horatio. “H, what do we do now?” “We fight them Eric, I’ll contact Xavier for back up. Alexx, apart from Magneto, who else is out there?” “Pyro and Sabretooth are there for a start. Along with twenty to thirty more.” “Horatio, I can take Sabretooth,” Logan offered, “he’s too strong for anyone here to fight.” “Logan honey, his abilities are stronger than yours, are you sure?” “I’ve taken him on before on Liberty Island. No-one else here has the strength or power to fight him.” Frank stepped forward, “I can.” “Okay, Logan and Frank, you take Sabretooth. Speed?” Speed stood up, “yes H?” “You take Mystique. With your fighting, speed and reflexes you should be able take her out. Remember, she’s no lady.” “Sure. What about you?” “I’ll find Magneto. Everyone else, just keep fighting until back up arrives.” There was a banging on the door, everyone jumped and stared at the door. Horatio headed towards the door, “don’t worry, it’s Rick and Calleigh,” he opened it to let them in. “Are you lot ready? Magneto has arrived with his army.” “I know Rick, we have a plan.” “I hope your not counting on your plan failing.” “Why do you say that Rick?” “Mystique is up there posing as you.” Horatio thought for a moment, “I’ll sort her out. Calleigh, Pyro is here, can you take him?” Calleigh nodded, “sure thing.” Everyone piled out of the basement. Logan turned to Alexx, “is Horatio going out to fight like that? He’s not even changed.” “You’ll see honey. He has a trick or two up his sleeves.” Logan raised his eyebrow with curiosity, “really?” “Just wait and see.”
Valera held on to Eric, “are you ready to go Eric?” “No but let’s get this over with.” Valera disappeared with Eric and appeared next to the elevator doors. Speed and Alexx waited by the stairs. Horatio peered out of the window. He was joined by Frank and Logan. Logan watched Sabretooth as he walked towards the building but suddenly stopping and looking up towards the window. Horatio stepped back, he knew exactly what the other two had in mind. Frank and Logan walked back slightly and ran through the window. Frank landed on the ground with a thud and sent tremors through the ground. Logan was suspended in the air by Magneto, “when will you ever learn Logan?” Frank noticed what had happened and ran towards Magneto with his arm extended to his side and knocked Magneto flat to the floor. Logan fell flat on his face. He stood up, turned his head to click his neck back into place as the cuts on his face rehealed just as quickly as he got them. “Next time you do that Frank, warn me.” Suddenly Logan was knocked to the floor from behind. Sabretooth. Logan jumped back up and extended his claws which shocked Frank, “next time you do that Logan, warn me! You nearly caught me with those things.” Frank stood by Logan as the three of them started to fight.
The rest Magneto’s army had invaded the lab. Everyone was fighting despite Horatio’s team being out numbered. Stetler looked outside and noticed Magneto trying to stand up after being knocked out by Frank. He looked around the chaos for Valera. “Valera, can you take me outside?” “Sure, but why?” “You’ll see.” Valera held onto Stetler and teleported him outside then teleported herself back into the lab. “Magneto!” He looked up towards Stetler heading straight for him. Stetler felt someone punch him in the gut. He knew instantly that it was Jake. Stetler used his powers to control Jake and took off his invisibility cloak. He levitated Jake in the air and threw him against the wall. Jake was out cold. Stetler turned his attentions to Magneto. “Getting a boy to do your dirty work, some things don’t change do they Magneto. He’s not the cleverest of them all.” Magneto grunted slightly and using his abilities, he lifted a car up in the air and threw it towards Stetler. He put his hands in the air and levitated the car in the air and threw it behind Magneto, crushing one of Magneto’s vehicles. “So Rick, you’ve developed your powers since we last met? This should be interesting.” Stetler tried to control Magneto’s powers telepathically but realised that his helmet was blocking the psychic attack. Magneto tapped on his helmet, “you can’t get through that.”
In the lab, Calleigh felt heat blasting past her head. She turned round to be greeted by Pyro. Once again, Pyro sent another fireball straight towards Calleigh. She caught it in the air and sent it straight back. She put her hands up with her palms facing Pyro and a bolt of electricity shot from each hand towards him, hitting him in his chest and leg. Pyro was sent flying out of the window and landed on the ground, with smoke pouring out of his mouth and looking very frazzled.

It's going to have to be one heck of a trick. I'm like every one else, though. Can't wait to see Horatio and Mystique. Also glad to see Jake get his, and Frank and Logan really made a pair.
Great chapter, Sam. Can't wait to see what happens next.

so the battle has commenced! in this chap you'll see why i have the SOJ's as my avator! they play an important role in this chap! although i am going to have to hide by the time you have read this chap! enjoy! luv sam x
There was a sudden gust of wind coming from above and a familiar sight met everyone’s eyes, much to the relief of Horatio’s team. Xavier’s X-Men had arrived in their jet and had landed on top of the building. Storm came out of the jet with her eyes glowing white and creating an electrical storm below. “Nightcrawler, teleport into the lab and give them a hand in there,” Cyclops started to give his orders to his team. “I can’t, I don’t know where I’m landing, I might land inside a wall which could kill me.” Iceman and Rogue came out of the jet, “Rogue knows her way around there.” Nightcrawler placed his hand on Rogue’s head and she teleported them both inside the building. They were met by chaos. Beast leapt through the already broken window and landed next to Horatio who was fighting through the mutants to find Mystique. “You lot took your time.” “We’re here now, Jean and Cyclops are on their way down here and Storm is outside.” “I need to find Mystique, she’s imposing as me and I need to get to her before she causes problems with my team.” “Go find her we can hold the fort here.” Horatio ran towards the reception to find another Horatio fighting Speed and Eric. He stopped in tracks, “Mystique, it’s me you want, not them.” Speed and Eric stepped backwards as the two Horatio’s faced each other, both with their hands on their hips. “Eric, I think we’d better leave these two to it.” “C’mon Speed, let’s go.” Speed and Eric went back into the lab. “You’re wasting your time trying to read me Horatio, I can block you.” “We will see,” Horatio grinned. He stepped back and raised his hand slightly and sent the impostor flying into the elevator doors. Mystique jumped straight back up and started throwing punches and kicks towards Horatio who in turn blocked them.
Iceman ran outside to see his old friend, Pyro, on his hands and knees coughing and spluttering from his attack. Iceman approached him, “Calleigh does tend to have that effect on people and mutants.” Pyro looked up and stumbled to his feet, “well, she didn’t do a good job as I’m still standing.” “She has a conscience, she won’t kill anyone with her electricity.” “I would.” “I know,” with that, Iceman covered himself with his ice armour and threw some ice Pyro’s way. Pyro protected himself by quickly throwing fire towards the ice which made his opponent even more determined to fight back.
Glass shattered from every window which caught the attention of Magneto. This distracted him enough for Stetler to deliver the final blow which knocked him to the floor and his helmet rolled off his head. Stetler levitated it and brought it to himself. “I’ll take this.”
The window glass had been thrown all over the parking lot as Horatio floated out of the window as Mystique fell out and landed on one of the cars, still imposing as Horatio. Logan had delivered the final blow to Sabretooth and he fell. He and Frank looked towards Horatio as he landed on the ground, took out his shades from his jacket and took off his jacket and threw it to the floor. Frank turned to Logan, “now you are going to see something spectacular.” Logan watched as Horatio put on his shades and simultaneously touched a sensor on either side of the shades and placed his hands on his hips.
The arms of the shades joined together round the back of his head and his clothes changed into a leather suit. Out of either sleeve, a gun appeared in each hand. “I see what Alexx meant by ‘he has a trick or two up his sleeves’,” Logan watched in amazement.
Horatio floated in the air and raised his guns towards Mystique. Blue lasers shot out of the barrels of the guns towards his impostor. Magneto pulled the car that Mystique was laid unconscious on out of the way just in time. Horatio’s lasers hit the concrete ground. He turned towards Magneto and floated towards him. Magneto tried to destroy Horatio’s metal firearms but found he could even get close to them. “It’s no good Magneto, when I’m like this, I’m ten times more powerful than normal. Not even you can penetrate my shields.” Horatio’s lasers disappeared back into his sleeves and then took the helmet off Stetler and as it floated in front of Magneto, Horatio crushed it into a ball using the power of his mind. The little ball of metal fell to the floor in front of Magneto’s feet. He looked up at Horatio feeling extremely worried, “what are you going to do with me?” Horatio lifted him up in the air, Stetler psychically blocked Magneto’s powers as Horatio pinned him against a department hummer. He came down to the ground and walked towards Magneto. “I’m going to have you be put you back in your plastic prison cell once again.” Mystique stirred on top of the car and saw her boss in trouble. She climbed down from the top of the car, but as herself once again, to attack Horatio. Speed saw what was about to happen from the building and rushed to Horatio’s aid to stop Mystique in her tracks. He kicked her in the face and knocked her down. Logan, with his claws extended, approached Horatio holding Magneto, “I’ll take him, I have few scores to settle with him.” “No you won’t Logan, he’s going back where he belongs,” Horatio could sense the anger inside Logan towards Magneto. Cyclops and Storm came over towards Horatio. “We’ll take him from here. We know just the place for him,” Cyclops grabbed one side of Magneto as Storm grabbed the other. “Can you assist us with Magneto so he can’t use his powers on the way to his prison?” Storm asked Stetler. “Take a ride in that jet? Yeah no problem.” Logan looked on at the rest of the mutants, Horatio’s team were getting tired. “Horatio, what about the others?” “Logan, I already have a plan,” once again Horatio floated into the air and lifted his arms into the air. All of Magneto’s army suddenly started to levitate, including Mystique, Sabretooth and Jake. He brought them all outside together and crammed them all into Magneto’s only remaining van. Horatio turned to Speed, “I want you, Eric and Frank watching this van until we can get them all processed and sent to the appropriate places.” “Sure H, I’ll just go get Eric and Frank.” Iceman and Beast came towards Horatio to congratulate him as Horatio tapped the sides of his shades once again to take them off. As he took them off, Horatio collapsed with exhaustion. Alexx and Calleigh had seen what had happened and came rushing over to him. Alexx checked him over, “we need to get him inside.” “Hey, Fur-ball, come give me a hand,” Logan called to Beast. They each put Horatio’s arm round their shoulders and carried him inside.

Great chapter, Sam. Horatio all on leather.. oh my.. you give me some ideas. It's suddenly a few degrees hotter on here. And no, you don't have to hide. It's rather H who has to, since he now has two motherhens running around him. Poor guy LOL Like Sandra I'm not so sure if this was the end already...no no.. Jess

Great chapter Sam. Horatio at his lethal best, but now poor man is exhausted. Hope he is going to be okay, should be with the ladies looking after him. So, the battle seems to have been won, but I am with the others here don't think this is the end of it.

No problems with that chapter, here, Sam. I loved it too. Not quite the cliffhanger you might have been thinking.
Great thinking using the SOJ's the way you did, and Horatio all in leather? Hmmmm
Terrific chapter, Sam. Can't wait to see what happens next.
