Marie trudged through the ruins in her all black clothing. Parts of her long black hair were pinned up and her edgy bangs curved around her face. She was wearing a cold, blank, look. She had decided it was time to seek out the brotherhood and become one of them. The journey had been a tough one.
Recently, Marie had been in Chicago, on a murderous hunt for her brother. When she reached the foster care facility and they told her that he had left four years ago, in a fit of rage, she killed them all. Getting across the frozen lake hadn't been as difficult as she had expected. Now though, she was ready to confront them and ask for acceptance into their group.
Only, she didn't 'ask' for any thing. Marie took. Why would they not accept her though? She could be a valuable asset. In return, they could help her find Phoenix. Just the thought made her lips twitch into a smirk. Thinking about what it would be like to kill him.

The Brotherhood were on the defensive these days. The attack on the island, the near of their leader, the lab destroyed and now half of the brotherhood members were killed or injured due to Ian and Tokra. Apocalypse had the labs working frantically to mend the wounded and create clones of the fallen. He had managed to clone many of his followers, though during the beginning phase they came out more of a mess then they went in.
Apocalypse was just starting to repair the monitor with the light came on nearby, indicating they had an intruder. Anger filled his eyes as he stormed out of the lab and stomped upstairs. The members of the Brotherhood stepped out of his way quickly, knowing this wasn't the time to mess with him. Isis was still recovering from carrying him to the mansion, so she wasn't even ready to assist him yet. He didn't know if Cain had returned, or Tokra or Ayden, but he would be ready for who ever was there. He had reached the first floor and saw a young standing there with as much anger in her eyes as she. Was she sent here by Cain?

Marie did not like that. This person or, robot, or whatever. Who was he? Wait, she'd heard about him. Apocolypse. As much as she hated this, she gave the warmest smile she could muster up. That hadn't worked out to well. It was an angry, cut throat smile.
"Can I join the... brotherhood?" Marie hated asking. And in a way, she wasn't asking, she was telling.
((sorry, bad post))

((it's cool))
He crossed his arms waiting for her to answer. He narrowed his eyes when she smiled and asked if she could join the brotherhood. He looked her over, practically towering over the girl. He could see there were some potential in her and a willingness to serve, but many had proven that while others betrayed. He had too much to do to worry about whether or not she would be able to serve him.
"Why would it be of any importance to me if you joined our cause?"

"'Cause I'm good at what I do." Marie scowled. He was questioning her abilities. She hated that, digging her long, black, fingernails into her hand. Blood dripped onto the ground. It was black just like the poison she emitted. As it touched the ground, a few weeds wilted and died.
"And what I do, is kill." she said, tasting metallic hate on her tongue. A flock of Canadian geese flew over head in a V formation. Marie's eyes started to look like they were bleeding black ink. She had guessed that her powers wouldn't affect Apocalypse.
The geese on the other hand were going into cardiac arrest. Convulsing in the air before falling at Apocalypse's feet.

He raised a brow when she said she was good at what she did. He didn't understand her logic until he saw black blood hit the ground and the weeds die. He wasn't impressed with that, anybody can kill weeds, but when her eyes turned black and the geese twitched in the air and fell at his feet, a smile grew on his face. He turned and started walking back into the ruins.
"Follow me. We have much to discuss and little time to do it."

Marie turned on her heels. Her gait was fierce, determined, and angry. She was always angry. She didn't ask questions, just followed. A half smirk twitched onto her mouth. This was exactly what she'd wanted. And in Marie's mind, even if it took some time, she always got what she wanted. She'd been so close to killing Phoenix's little girlfriend. In time, she would kill Maron.

"Our concern with the X-Men has been put on hold, we have bigger concerns then them."
As they walked down the ruins, the scenery was changing around them. It didn't look like much on the first couple floors, but the further they went down, the more destroyed everything looked. Until they reached the bottom where his lab was, which is where everything looked as if it had been utterly destroyed. Which it was.
"The latest threat has forced me to join forces with the X-men...for the time being."

Cain. Marie had heard all about him. After all, who hadn't? He was a mad man. Maybe Apocalypse could tell her where her brother was now. Probably with his precious little Maron. It was an interesting site, this lab. It was like some atomic bomb had went off.
"So. I can be of service, but," Marie started to say, stopping herself. She had to know where Phoenix was. "I need to know where a certain mutant is." she said, drumming her fingers against her leg.
"I just need to kill these two people." Marie said, smirking at the idea.

He continued to walk down to the lab where the main cause of the destruction was. He listened to her words and when she finished, he stopped and looked back to her.
"Unfortunately, Cain had destroyed my only means of finding the mutants. If you wish to find them, I recommend looking."
He looked around the lab as members of the brotherhood began to put things together. Some used their powers and others used their brains and techniques. Having the lab, and the ruins itself up and running, was going to take time.
"We are on the defensive until we can understand how to attack and destroy Cain."

"Damn it," Marie murmured frustratedly under her breath. She was going through all of the places Phoenix could be. He was probably off protecting his girlfriend. Now where was she? Marie drew herself away from those thoughts.
"Being on the defensive, I see how I could be of use." Marie responded. The range of her power could kill an entire wedding reception party in less then three minuets.

"Good, then your first assignment would be perfect for you."
He smiled and placed his hands behind his back. He had many members of the brotherhood either working with him, or Xavier and Freya's group. He had so little to spare due to David's rampage and Ayden's slaughter. His numbers dwindled so getting new recruites would be beneficial.
"I need you to scout where Cain could be hiding. Find him and report back to me at once. I will relay the information to Xavier as he will most likely do the same to me."

"Sounds fun," Marie chuckled, licking her lips maliciously. She wasn't overly confident though. She knew this would be mildly tough. After all, this was Cain they were talking about. Where to start looking? She would have to stalk someone down that might know someone who might know where Cain was.
Again the wheels were turning with thoughts about who might know such things. "See you soon, Apocalypse," Marie smiled, turning on the balls of her feet. She mentally added after I kill my brother to her sentence. That was her main priority, nothing was going to distract her from that.

"Indeed."
It was all he said when she said that it sounded fun, bidding her farewells to him. He knew that she would be gone for a long time, whether it was because of scouting Cain, finding her targets or anything else. He walked over to the console and began continuing his work on the lab. With the alien technology, the lab seemed to be piecing itself together with the more the brotherhood worked on it.
