When Evil Needs Good (Open)

[Victor Creed]

Phoenix didn't get very far before her wrist was grabbed by his strong and firm hand and pulled back towards the bed. "I thought you wanted the baby to be okay. They can help." With how much time Victor had spent with Phoenix she would be the only one to really tell the irritation in his voice. Not to her but the fact that they were there asking for help. He didn't like it any better than she did but there was no one else to ask. No one else that would know mutant DNA and powers enough to be able to help in this situation.

It was all he said as he used his strength to pick her up and set her back onto the bed. If he had to hold her down further he would and the look in his eyes only verified that to her while he resumed his stoic position next to that bed while Jean and Beast spoke to one another.

[Jean Grey]

Jean jumped a little as the woman in the bed awoke. She should have been out for hours from the sedative Hank had given her. Jean was surprised that she was awake at all. the one word she spoke hit her hard and confused her. But what confused her more was the familiar look in her eye as she looked at her. Who was this woman? And why was Victor so protective of her? Her scars on her hip itched as she watched Victor pick up the woman and place her back into the bed. She looked at the woman.

"What is your name, dear?"

That was the first thing they needed and Victor had failed to tell her or Hank that bit. Maybe it would get the woman to calm down. Her heart rate was probably sky high at that moment. She needed to calm down to keep the baby calm. It was clear from the x-rays that it was the baby that was causing all of the pain. they needed to keep the baby calm so that they could treat the mother.

[The Phoenix]

Phoenix started a bit as the door disappeared, or seemed to disappear. Where the hell had it gone? Her angry and scared eyes turned tot he small girl who had spoken to her. Her cheeriness and spunk just angered her even more than she already was. Her hand shot out and gripped the girl by her throat lifting her a little off the ground with strength she shouldn't have had. Her lips curled back in a snarl.

"You need to shut your mouth little girl and show me where the door is."

She was stopped short as a strong hand gripped her wrist. her flaming eyes turned to see Victor. He said that they could help the baby. She doubted it. Once they found out who she was they would try and take the baby away from her and Victor. She was about to protest but then she was picked up in his strong arms and placed back into the bed. He stood there looking at her. He was irritated. It was that slight change in his voice that showed that to her. His eyes told her that if she dared move again that he would force her to stay in the bed. She would trust his judgment for now Her head snapped over to Jean as she spoke. Her name? That made her chuckle a bit although it wasn't her usual laugh. This one was weakened and tired. She looked at Jean.

"You should know better than anyone, Jeanie. We are practically sisters. But if you really are too stupid to know, which you are I can see that, then I'll tell you. I'm the Phoenix."

[Hank McCoy]

Henry was still staring at the X-rays when he heard that tidbit of information. The Phoenix? How was that possible? And how could she inhabit a non-mutant body? And of all people she was involved with Victor Creed? Talk about troubling times. But before Jean and Phoenix could get into whatever spat they may have gotten into he decided to step between them.

"Well my dear, that child in your stomach as done quite a mess of things to your body. Given that your body is that of a human's it isn't a suprise that a baby with mutant powers would cause problems. The oddest thing being that the child already has use of it's powers. There is no way that you can recover from your injuries unless something is done to keep the child calm." He rambled there a little but it should have been enough to get the attention he desired.

"My only solution would be to sedate the child. Given time I can create a syrum that should be able to keep the child calm enough to allow you to heal and possible prevent such...violence in the future."

[Alexandra Kavi]

Alex would of squeaked if she was giving enough time to even think about it before phoenix hand was around her throat all at once just by the plain shock of having someone grab her the room appeared back to normal and soon latter was put back down.

As soon as she was down Alex ran behind Jean peeking her so she still could easily see phonix to make sure she wasn't going to attack her again if that happened she guessed being in a room with two x-men was the savest room to be in and it was an o.k time to use her powers she guessed. Alex lessiond paying ½ attention to what Dr. McCoy was saying her eyes on phonix she didn’t like her and hat ever she was talking about her being Jean sister then how come jean didn't know her shouldn't you know your own sisters well unless it like an odd relationship like step sisters or something but then even step sisters knew each other. “umm...so...your like sister.....um how....how can you be like sisters and like not reunize each other o do you mean like you guys where like best friends when you here younger ms. Grey this is so cool isn't it you get to see your friend after all these years I bet you guys got a lot to catch up on”

[Victor Creed]

The blue man was planning to sedate the baby? Was that even possible without effecting Phoenix? He remained silent there for a long while just watching what was going on around him. Alex was being ignored for the most part while he concentrated on Phoenix. This wasn't going to be easy. He knew that she wasn't going to like getting poked and prodded. But if she really wanted the baby to be okay she was going to have to listen to McCoy.

He wasn't sure how they were going to manage to heal all of those injuries while she was pregnant, couldn't be easy to wrap ribs with the swollen stomach. And he was going to have to deal with it. Just what he needed. The princess laid up in bed to heal and him having to wait on her hand and foot. At least before she was stubborn enough to do things on her own but now... Maybe he'd find someone to pawn off on taking care of her. That thought had possibilities.

[The Phoenix]

Phoenix had her eyes on Victor. He seemed tense and was that a hint of worry in his eyes? She didn't know right now. Her eyes were heavy and her breathing was still labored, her skin was pale and clammy and her body shuddered every so often from the pain. The baby may be calm now but what about when it started kicking again? She felt like it was trying to claw it's way out of her. She winced and held her stomach as the baby shifted slightly and jostled her broken ribs. She silently prayed for it to stop moving. once it did she looked back at Victor. She needed him right now. She wouldn't let anyone in this mansion touch her unless he said it was fine. He was the only one she trusted right now.

The blonde woman looked over at Hank. The blue furball was talking about sedating the baby. She didn't even think that it was possible to sedate a baby still in the womb. But if Victor had brought her here he had to be smart enough. But she was scared as well. What if they sedated her as well and took the baby from her? She reached her hand out for Victor's and squeezed it. This was not the Phoenix he knew. This one was scared beyond her wits and hurting more than she ever had before. But she wanted this baby. She was not going to give up. She took a deep and shaky breathe as she weakly looked up at Hank.

"Do whatever needs to be done. But if our baby dies I will come after you and I will kill you."

[Jean Grey]

Jean felt Alex hiding behind her but she was staring at the woman laying on the bed with fer and utter astonishment. The Phoenix? How was she back? How was she in a different body? How was this even possible? So many questions were running through her head. Maybe she had been the cause of all of her blackouts before. Her hand strayed to her hip as she looked at her and Victor. If Phoenix was the cause of the blackouts and they were together then he had been the cause of the scars on her hip. She looked at his claws and swallowed hard.

"How....how is this possible?"

She wanted to be away right now. Far away from here. She just wanted to be in Logan's arms right now having him protect her from all of this. but he wasn't here right now. He couldn't help her. She looked at Hank horrified as he spoke. he was going to help this woman? After all she had done when she was in Jean's body? He was going to help her! She didn't know what to do and started breathing heavily trying to calm her mind.

[Hank McCoy]

Hank ignored Jean for the moment. He understood the strangeness of Phoenix being in this other body but for now that wasn't the problem they needed to deal with. After all, being a doctor he had to bring his attention to the injured woman. Though her threat had made him frown. "My dear woman, I would never think of such a thing. I am a doctor and no matter what or who my patient is I have sworn not to bring harm to them." He felt insulted that she'd assume such a thing and he turned about to look through a few of his devices he had created over the years. There had to be something he could use to calm the child but leave the mother active. She had to take care of herself if she planned to have a healthy enough baby.

"You will need to rest for sometime to let the ribs mend." He commented over his shoulder as he poured a few test tubes together and stared at them as colors changed within. His hand moved up to the bridge of his nose and he rubbed it there. Suddenly he had felt like his whole mind was about to squeeze itself into an explosion. Its an overexageration of course but it was a sudden pain. He continued to look through the 'potions' infront of him before he turned about to face Victor and Phoenix. "This will take some time I'm afraid. I will need you to stay for observation and testing. I would assume that it would take no longer than two days." At least that was what his calculations that he had done within his head had come to.

[Victor Creed]

Victor remained silent as he stood there, his hands still resting on that bed next to Phoenix. He had caught that look of horror on Jean's face and he gave a smirk towards her. It was a dark smirk that could only mean that he knew what she was thinking and that he was verifying her fear. The thought of her being disturbed by her thoughts of what had happened while Phoenix was in her body...it enertained him greatly.

But his attention turned to Phoenix as Hank gave her the news of having to stay there for a few days. He'd stay by her side but it was going to be a long two days. Especially if Logan was prowling about. He hadn't smelled him so that was a plus but certainly he would find out he was here sooner or later. But for now he would stay with Phoenix while she recovered. He only hoped that she wouldn't make too much of a fuss. After all the more she cooperated the better off she would be.

"If the child has inherited my powers then sedating it will not be an easy task."

[The Phoenix]

"TWO DAYS?! You're going to keep me here for two days!I am not staying here that long! I have things to do! I have a nursery to set up!"

Phoenix's eyes widened as Hank said that it would take at least two days to do some testing. She was not about to stay in this bed for two long days in the house of the people she wanted to kill and who probably wanted to kill her. She rambled on about not staying there. She wasn't going to do it. She was angry now and her emotions were bubbling up in her body. She could feel the baby moving more and more as she rambled but she didn't take any notice. The baby was waking up inside of her and with her distress it was leaking into the mind of the baby and making it feel distressed as well.

The baby started to kick again and made Phoenix stop her words midsentence and cry out in pain. Her hands gripped her stomach and tried to hold her broken ribs in place but the baby was up and distressed and was going crazy. Tears sprung to her eyes as the pain worsened. She let her mind wander down towards the baby. She could feel it's fear and distress but she slowly tried to calm it down. She told it they were going to help and it's father would not let any harm come to them. At the mention of Victor the baby seemed to calm down. It settled into a ball and laid still. Her breathing was heavy as she sat there in the bed trying to bring herself back to her senses. She looked up at Victor with weak eyes, her skin covered in sweat and pale.

"Don't let them hurt us...."

[Alexandra Kavi]

Alex watched still scared that the lady whould attack her again and it didn't help that now it looked like Jean was scared for some reason form what she chould gauther the lady was scared that someone was going to kill her baby but why would the xmen hurt someone who was coming to them for help let alone a baby that hadn't done anything yet. Then Jean looked like a dear in a headlights about something.

“Wight what is going on hear why would you be worried that anyone hear would hurt your baby this is the x-men where the good guys” Alex giggled “I have never seen Jean or Dr. M hurt anyone so there like no way they hurt your baby or you it like doesn’t even make scene you no cause there like some cool people and you know it kind of there job and if you are worried about getting a room painted and ready for the baby when it comes you have lots of time just before it comes O what color are you going to pant it if it a girl you should paint it like a really light pink you no like almost wight but if its a boy you should do a like green also is this your first kid you guys are going to make....a um...cute little baby” Alex looked back at Creeds claw and back and the women really unsure what a baby whould look like out of those two if it whould have claws or be more lovely like it mom.

[Victor Creed]

Victor snarled slightly at the thought of being stuck in the mansion for two days. And of course the reaction from Phoenix wasn't helping his mood either. It seemed that whether he liked it or not he did care about the way she felt. Her being uneasy made him uneasy and he wasn't going to just stand there and allow it.

A thought came to mind then as he looked over to Hank. "As much as I came here for your...assistance. I think it would be best if you accompany us back to the Brotherhood's base. Staying here will only stress her out more which I'm sure you understand will stress out the child more in turn. I personally can assure your safety if you really think someone will attempt to harm you."

There was the possibility that a Brotherhood member would take the opportunity to 'bag' a X-Man. But he wasn't going to allow it. He needed the genius for the moment. After all of this though he wasn't sure how safe the blue furred man would be. He supposed he would have to give the guy a fair chance to leave the base after all of this was over...maybe..

[Hank McCoy]

"Yes I am familiar with your healing abilities through Logan." But just before he could mention a possible solution to that problem Victor made his ultimatum. What was he to do? Just let him leave with the woman who was obviously in trouble...to just die? Any more damage from that child would surely kill her. And if she did die was the child far enough along to live on its own? Given the state of its mutant powers, he doubted that she would survive much longer. And of course he had sworn never to allow someone to come to harm. He wasn't really that kind of doctor but he had a code of honor after all.

Hank frowned over at Victor and he sighed. "Fine. If that is the way it has to be then I agree." He had a feeling Jean was going to object and he glanced over to her with a slight smile to try and ease her worry. "Lead the way Mr. Creed."

He had a feeling that this could end badly for him. He was going into enemy territory but then he was also a genius. There were already alternative plans going on through his head just incase something happened. "I will of course have to bring a few of my things." He walked over to one of the tables and grabbed what looked like a briefcase which would be full of medical and other devices he needed. He reached over to Jean and held her hand with a smile.

"Don't worry I'll be back before you know it." He let go of her hand while he walked over to follow Victor as he picked Phoenix up once more. Hank only hoped that they had been too preoccupied to notice the small object he slipped into Jean's hand a moment ago. It was a simple device that only had two buttons on it and a small screen. It was a locator beacon of sorts, if he was in any sort of danger he could activate that beacon and give them a direction to head for his rescue. He really hoped he wouldn't have to use it but there had to be a backup plan.

[Jean Grey]

Jean didn't know what to do. She was stuck in the spot she had been standing in for awhile now. The look Victor gave her confirmed what she was fearing. Phoenix had taken over her body and had been spending her time with him. That was where the scars had come from she knew that for a fact now. When Logan found out she knew that he was not going to like that. She just hoped that he wouldn't go after Victor. She knew he was going to but she still hoped that he wouldn't. Her eyes fell onto Phoenix. She looked so helpless laying there pale in the bed sweat clinging to her skin, her breathing heavy. But Jean knew all too well that she was more powerful even in this state that she was in. Her ears perked up as Victor said that Hank was to go with them. She looked over at Hank horrified as he agreed.

"Hank! You can't! I won't let you. You're safer here with us."

Jean watched as Victor picked up Phoenix and walked to the door. She then followed Hank as he walked over and grabbed his bag. He grabbed her hand and squeezed it trying to reassure her. What she found in her hand though was a Beacon Locator. She should have known that he would take the biggest precautions he could to make sure that they could find him. If Victor found out though she knew he would be in trouble but she ahd faith that Hank was smart enough to not let him find out.
