Team Obliteration : The Destruction Cube

Chapter 10

A month or so had passed from the time when the attack on the X-Mansion occurred. The reconstruction still wasn't done yet, for some reason. And no new information had been acquired regarding the Destruction Cube.

Cassie remembered how they were all eager to find out more about the mysterious cube throughout the whole week, but then the excitement had faded away. Logan went back to the X-Men to see if they needed any help, Deadpool had gone on his mercenary business, Slenderman got back to his Creepypasta friends and Alexandra, Jayla and Cassie had all went back to their own jobs. Every day the three girls would return home to an empty and quiet house, and it did seem kind of boring for a while.

Cassandra's P.O.V.

Cassandra awoke to the sunlight streaming in through her window. She groaned and rolled onto her belly, burying her face into her pillow.

Until she realized what day it was.

She gasped as she flipped and shot upright, then rushed into the shower and got ready. All in less than 5 minutes.

She came rushing out of her room and barreling down the corridor, passing by Deadpool's, Logan's and Slenderman's rooms, all left empty. When she reached the other two girls' rooms, she banged on their doors with her fist.

"GIRLS!!!" she cried through the doors. "WAKE UP!!!!"

As she was just about to slam her fist down onto Alex's door once more, it swung open, throwing her off balance a little. Alex was staring at her with a look of annoyance on her face. Her hair was super messy, and she looked very grumpy.

"What do you want, Cassie?" she asked, stifling a yawn.

"Don't you know what day it is?" cried Cassie as she bounced up and down lightly.

"I suppose it's the day that you annoy us all?" asked Jayla, who had also opened her door and was now leaning on the doorframe.

"No," said Cassie. "It's the fourth of July!!"

The two girls stared at her, looks of boredom on their faces. "So?" asked Jayla after a while.

"We are all spending the whole day out together," announced Cassie. "whether you like it or not, because eventually you will. Now go get dressed," she added, shooing them into their rooms.

"And hurry up with that too, we don't have until tomorrow for this," she called out to them as she spun on her heel and walked off.

Cassie munched on some chocolate as she leaned on the kitchen counter while waiting for them to get ready. She was thinking whether it would be fun if they all wore their superhero costumes, but, considering hers was metal, it would seem quite odd to other people.

Finally, the two girls came downstairs. They were all dressed casually. The moment they reached the bottom step, Cassie grabbed both their wrists and yanked them out the doorway and into the car.

"I'm driving," she announced. "I've made special plans and I know where to go."

Once everyone was ready, she stepped on the gas and barreled down the road.

That night...

The girls stuck close together as they prepared to watch the 4th of July fireworks. They were just part of many who had gathered to watch the spectacle.
