~~~~Maxi's P.O.V~~~~

Crashing in Belgium is not what I had wanted to happen, of course Belgium is a beautiful country, but when you wake up under metal and debris with blood dripping down your face in the middle of it, your mind kind of wanders away from the rolling hills and pastures. I push the pieces off of me and surprisingly stand up, how long have I been asleep? Oh well, maybe the team is still here, but when I look around no one is in sight. Maybe I can fly to the nearest town and... people would notice I'm a mutant, wait where's Logan's jacket, if I can't find it he's going to be so mad at me! Desperately throwing burnt and mud crusted pieces of metal around I see a different texture of material and dig to grab it, it's Logan's jacket and it doesn't look any more worn than when I first saw it.

A noise, much like a moan grabs my attention and plays with my imagination, I walk cautiously towards it and hope that it's not a zombie. Thankfully, it's not a walker, but some metal that had fallen on top of of the only part of the plane that survived, the cockpit. The door is ajar and there are wires hanging around the seats, I don't see anyone. I do notice car tracks leading away from the wreckage and I follow them. They lead to a small town not too far from the plane, but the town is crawling with MRDs and Sentinels stand guard around the outskirts. Sneaking in won't be that hard, neither will finding the team, but once I'm inside, I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to move without being spotted, unless if it's through the alleys and shadows between buildings. I run toward a darker area of the city and end up in a maze of alley  ways and twisting streets, at least there aren't any MRDs. A soft noise interrupts my thoughts and I turn around just to see a flash of white hit my stomach, pinning me to the side of a brick house.

"Hey, get this stuff off of me!" I whisper-yell and I see the figure who attacked me move closer.

"Spidey!? What are you doing in Europe?"

"Who are you, and what are you doing here?" He asks, completely ignoring my previous question, but since he's not going to take this webbing off until I show him I'm not a threat, I might as well answer.

"I'm Maxine Wagner, remember me? We fought Kraven in Danger Room for five hours strait once." His disbelief is obvious so I continue and tell him about Logan and how I "borrowed" his jacket. At this he starts laughing.

"So, are you going to let me out?" He then proceeds to take off the webbing, he walks away and I run to catch up to him.

"You should go back to America, Maxi, things are a little different here." His face turns downward and I start to actually worry about my friends.

"What do you mean, 'different'?" His face lifts up and I can hear the pain emanate from his experiences.

"They killed my team, executed them in cold blood." A sigh escapes his mouth and I start to panic, what if they kill my team before I can get to them. I look around and we've already gone to an abandoned apartment.

"Do they have executions all the time?" Silence replies and he looks intrigued.

"No, just when they get new mutants or any type of powered person, they're having one tomorrow, actually."

"Oh my goodness, that's my team, we have to help them, you have to help me!" I practically beg him.

"Of coarse I'll help you, what are you're powers now?" I smile gratefully and slide my jacket off to reveal my wings.

"I'm a little different than when you first met me." I think he's surprised, but I can't see behind his mask.

"Well, that will definitely help... uh... we can attack in the morning." He is definitely astonished.

So, I know it's a little short, but oh well. I've been going through a bit of writers block and stuff, hopefully Nightwing lives through the next chapter. I have so many plans for the next book though, and this one is hopefully going to last longer than I planned, so if anybody has a character I can add please let me know so I can infatuate you with the drama of my fanfiction, because I love writing this book.
