Team Obliteration : The Destruction Cube

Chapter 9

Cassandra's P.O.V.

They all headed to the lab. Slenderman joined them soon after. Then Logan, Alex and Cassie began recounting what had happened.

"So, we were all having a nice regular stay at the X-Mansion," started Cassie. "No one expected anything to happen. Then... I dunno." She glanced at Logan for help.

He cleared his throat. "I was having a walk around the mansion yesterday evening, when I smelt something that seemed a bit off."

"So you followed it," guessed Deadpool. "And then you found a bomb like those cubes near Cerebro. And it blew up in your face."

Logan stared at him, surprise clearly evident on his face. "Yes," he said. "How the hell did you figure that out?"

"Just a hunch," Deadpool shrugged. No one would understand his fourth wall breaking powers anyways.

"So yeah, anyways," continued Cassie. "soon Logan was running around like a maniac because soon there were bombs blowing up all over the mansion. Alex and I had to ask him what the heck was going on, but he wouldn't stop, and I knew that, so I tripped him."

"You what?!" said Jayla in shock. She looked at Logan, then at Cassie, then back at Logan, then finally Cassie.

"I tripped him," she replied. She acted as if it were no big deal.

"You didn't have to mention that," grumbled Logan.

Alex continued. "Cass told him that a bomb had blew up in my room and that it was slowly sucking up the mansion bit by bit, which it was. He told her to go do something, help around, and I was already trying to focus the bomb's energy back in on itself."

"Meanwhile, I had been outside the mansion. There was a fight going on between the X-Men and the Brotherhood. Magneto was there too. And," Logan paused for a while, his voice getting quiet, as if he were embarrassed. "he threw me about. Into a wall and even hurled me at Kitty Pryde."

"Well, duh," said Deadpool. "You're all metal."

Cassie raised a finger to shush him, and urged Logan to continue.

"Then the Professor used his telepathy to freeze all the Brotherhood members, and then he asked why Magneto was attacking them. It seems that he didn't want us to get in his way. For what? We don't know. And the next thing I knew, the Professor was hurled at a brick wall and the explosion happened."

"It was literally blue fire," said Cassie, sounding a little excited. "Like, electric blue. Do you know how cool that is?"

"It was NOT cool, Cass," said Alex, her arms crossed across her chest.

"But what about the X-Men?" asked Jayla. "Are they all alright?"

"Yup," said Cassie. "Alex and I saved the day, and also saved poor little Wolvie who was stuck in the fire." She stuck her tongue out at Logan, who scowled in response.

"Why the hell did you even go into the fire, Logan?" asked Deadpool. "That's literally absurd. I know you can heal and all, but still..." He shuddered.

"I was looking for the other X-Men. I didn't know they were already safe," Logan replied.

"Wait," said Slenderman. It was the first time he had spoken throughout the entire conversation. "Why was the bomb sucking up things bit by bit like what you described? Regular bombs don't do that."

Suddenly, Cassie was struck with the realization that she had never thought of this.

"We don't know," sighed Alex. "I've been thinking real hard about it, but clearly, it doesn't make any sense."
