Chapter 6

Getting Miranda Back

The next day...

Miranda is sleeping in the middle of all her pokemon while the pokemon would switch out to guard throughout the night. The sun has risen and Miranda sits up.

"Time to get to work again," Miranda says. "Same as yesterday."

Miranda, Espeon, and Lucario sit in a circle holding each others hands or paws. They begin scanning across the world from where they left off yesterday.

...

"We got a lock on her location," Hank says.

"Good, Jean your up," Xavier says.

"Yes, sir," Jean says.

They open up the side door and she floats down.

...

"Starrraptor!" Staraptor squawks noticing the jet and the girl coming from it. Miranda shoots out of her concentration taking attention to the warning.

Miranda runs and grabs her bag and runs. "Let's go!"

...

"Jean, they know you're coming, they're running away! Hurry!" Tony yells.

"Got it!" Jean yells back and speeds off towards the girl.

...

"Espeon! Pokeballs! Now!" Miranda yells.

Espeon takes a pokeball slowly returning all the pokemon to their pokeballs.

"Espeon, give me Gardevoir!" Miranda shouts. Espeon takes out the pokeball and puts it in Miranda's hands. "Lucario, get Espeon in her pokeball!" Lucario gets her in the pokeball and puts it in the bag zipping it up.

...

"The girl is collecting all her pokemon back. The scanners are showing less figures. Just three are remaining," Bobby says.

"Of course," Tony says annoyed.

"Another just showed up!" Bobby says. "There gone! They just vanished!"

"What!?" everyone yells.

...

"Gardevoir, come on out!" Miranda yells. "Teleport us away from this place!" Gardevoir puts an arm on Miranda and Lucario and they vanish into thin air.

...

"Dammit! I hate Widow! This is all her and Fury's fault!" Tony yells. "Miranda is gonna get hurt!"

"Tony, chill," Jean says now back in the jet.

"I can't! Do you know how incredible Miranda and her pokemon are? They're incredible! Now we lost them!" Tony yells slamming his fist into the wall.

"I hope she doesn't get hurt either," Steve says. "I would feel terrible if something happened to her."

"Same," Clint says.

"I don't even know her, but I hope she's okay too," Bobby says.

...

"Will they ever stop bugging us? We need to find them!" Miranda yells. "They could get hurt!"

"I'm pretty sure that the lake guardians can handle themselves," Lucario says. "They are legendaries after all."

"I know, but..." Miranda says.

"Then don't worry," Lucario says.

"Master, we will find them," Gardevoir says.

"I know," Miranda says with a burst of blue from her body.

"You've used to much of your power," Lucario says.

"I-I'm fine..." Miranda says.

"Pachi!" Pachirisu yells turning towards the forest. She shoots a thing of electricity to it.

"Oww! Oww! Stop, Stop!" a green disgusting looking boy jumps out.

The three pokemon jump in front of Miranda growling at the strange kid.

"No, let me," Miranda says passing in front of the pokemon. "Why are you spying on us?"

"I was just walking around here and you scared me so I jumped into the bushes. My house is over there," the strange kid says and points.

Miranda looks over where he's pointing and her gaze looks up. The 'house' he's talking about is a fortress. "What is your name boy?"

"Boy? I'm like the same age as you!" the kid responds.

Miranda flicks her hand at him not even touching the boy at all, but making him fall to his butt. "That's not what I asked."

"You're a mutant?" the kid says.

"Not what I asked!" Miranda yells.

"Sorry! Sorry! Please don't hurt me! My name is Toad! It's Toad," Toad shouts.

"Toad? What kind of name is that?" Miranda asks.

"It's just my mutant name my real name is Todd but I prefer Toad," Toad says.

"Why?" Miranda asks.

"Because I can do this," Toad says. He sticks out his long tongue and wraps it around a tree pulling himself to it. He spits gunk at a tree opposite of him and the tree falls over. Then he jumps a far distance.

"That's disgusting," Miranda says. He's like a Croagunk kinda.

"Yeah, not as many mutants are as lucky as you," Toad says.

"I don't know what you mean," Miranda says.

"Some look gross and some look normal and some are beautiful like you are," Toad says.

"Gross. Never even in your dreams," Miranda says.

"A guy can try." He shrugs his shoulders. "So what are those things?" Toad says pointing to the pokemon.

"Those are my pokemon," Miranda says.

"Pokemon... Pokemon... That sounds familiar," Toad says. "Come with me, I think I know somebody that will."

"I'm not coming with you," Miranda says.

"Why?" Toad asks.

"I don't know you and I'm running away from people," Miranda says.

"Who?" Toad asks.

"The Avengers and some group that was in a black jet," Miranda says

"The black jet probably belongs to the X-men. We hate them too," Toad says.

"You do?" Miranda asks.

"We don't like them," Toad says.

"Okay, I will go with you," Miranda says.

"Really?" Toad asks.

"I just said I was. Why would I say that and not go?" Miranda asks.

"Oh, okay," Toad says and they follow him to the fortress. Miranda returns Gardevoir to her pokeball.

...

"She's near the Brotherhood's Mansion," Xavier says out of nowhere.

"What?!" Tony yells. "She could get hurt or tricked!"

"Damn, can you quit shouting in my ear!" Logan yells at Tony. "Or I'm gonna shred that suit of yours up."

"Whatever shorty," Tony says. "Let's go!"

"Grrr," Logan growls at him.

...

Toad swings open the front doors to the mansion. "I've brought a pretty girl home!" Toad yells out.

"I'm gonna hurt you," Miranda says.

"No! Sorry, sorry!" Toad yells.

Suddenly there's a blow of wind in the room and someone whispers in Miranda's ear. "Helllooo beautiful," it says. Miranda turns and sees nobody. "Haha, over here." The whisper comes from her other ear and she turns again to see nobody.

Now Miranda was getting angry. She closed her eyes to pinpoint where this person is. She finds it and stops it. "You're pissing me off." She lifts the figure from the floor.

"Ah, man. She has telekinetic powers. No fair," a boy with white hair says. "Call me Quicksilver."

"That's to long. How about your real name?" Miranda says.

"Fine. It's Pietro," Pietro says. "Can you let me down now?"

"I don't know if I should. Will you stop teasing me?" Miranda says. "And if not I will fling you across the world."

"You have that power?" Pietro asks.

"Easily," Miranda says.

"Okay, okay, promise," Pietro says.

A huge guy comes into view making the ground rumble beneath him.

"Hi, I'm Blob," Blob says.

Another guy comes from behind him.

"I'm Lance. If you think that that was Blob moving the ground it wasn't, it was me. I can create seismic waves," Lance says.

"I'm Miranda Snow. A telepath and a telekinetic," Miranda says.

A blue girl walks up. "Call me Domino and what are those?" Domino asks pointing to the pokemon.

"Pokemon," Miranda says.

"Pokemon?!" Lance says. "No way!"

"Are you from this world?" Domino asks.

"No," Miranda says.

"This is so cool!" Lance says.

'Master, I don't trust these people,' Lucario says to just Miranda. 'They're way worst than the others.'

'I know Lucario we are using them,' Miranda says back.

The others are all talking at once when a voice cuts across them and silences them. "Silence!" a man says with a purple and red suit with a helmet. A blue lady with short greasy-looking red hair walking behind him. They walk down the steps towards them. "Who is this?"

"A mutant, with the same powers of that Jean girl," Toad says.

"Really?" the man says staring at her up and down interested. "My name is Erik, but please call me Magneto. What is your name young lady."

"My name is Miranda," Miranda says. "I'd rather call you Erik it's easier."

'This is the main person you do not want to trust,' Lucario tells Miranda.

'I know Lucario,' Miranda says back.

"Quite the brave little one, huh? This is Mistique," Magneto says pointing to the blue lady next to him.

"The Avengers and the X-men were chasing after her," Toad says.

"Really, even the Avengers are chasing after a mutant," Magneto says then notices the creature on her shoulder and the one behind her. "Are they why the Avengers are after you?"

"Yes, my pokemon," Miranda says.

"Pokemon? You're from a different world?" Magneto says.

"That's right," Miranda says and a burst of energy shoots from her.

"You haven't gotten control of your power..." Magneto says.

"Enough to escape," Miranda says.

"Interesting girl," Magneto says. "Quite the mouth. You should join us. I like you and your wonderful talents."

"What do I gain from joining you?" Miranda says.

"Ruling the world," Magneto says. "To rid the world of humans."

"I don't wanna rule the world or rid the world of humans. I am human and so are you. You want to rid yourself?" Miranda asks.

Magneto laughs. "You and I are mutants not humans."

...

"She's in the mansion. We have to go in," Tony says. "She can be in danger."

The jet lands and they run up to the door kicking it open.

...

The door bursts open and the Avengers and X-men are standing there.

"Miranda, these people are bad news. Get away from them," Tony says.

"From her point of view you're the bad news," Magneto says and throws Tony and Logan into the wall. Also taking Steve's shield and Clint's bow n' arrow and arrows.

"Brotherhood, let's go!" Pietro yells and runs out.

Everyone starts fighting and Miranda sneaks out while everyone's distracted. Miranda runs into the forest to a clearing and sits in the middle.

"This is getting exhausting," Miranda says.

A woman with long red hair walks out into the clearing. Miranda jumps to her feet and her pokemon take a attacking position.

"My name is Jean. I do not wish to fight you. I just wanna talk," Jean says.

"Why should I trust you?" Miranda yells.

"I have the same powers you do," Jean says.

"That's why your name is familiar," Miranda says. "I still don't trust you." Miranda blows a force at Jean. Jean simply contains it and flicks it away. "You've proven yourself enough for 2 minutes."

"Thanks, I guess?" Jean walks up to her and sits on the ground and Miranda sits down too. "I want you to listen to everything that Tony said on the jet when we were looking for you. He was worried sick about you like you're his kid or something. It was quite funny seeing him this way. I want you two to listen too and see what you think."

Miranda hesitantly goes through Jean's memory letting Lucario and Pachirisu join in and watch what happened. Tony was really worried. Now I feel bad. I've never had anyone worry about me like this, that was human. My parents gave up on me and the professor just sent me out into the world alone. I never had anyone care for me. I don't know what to do... The memories end and Miranda's eyes well up with tears.

"Master!" Lucario says and glares at Jean.

"No, it's okay Lucario," Miranda says pulling her knees to her chest and sobs.

"Tony, she needs you," Jean says telepathically to Tony.

...

"I'm a little busy right now being crushed by Magneto, Jean," Tony says.

"Scott, get off Magneto's helmet," Jean says.

"Got it," Scott says aiming his eyes at the helmet and shoots it off. "Jean. Now!"

Jean controls Magneto's mind and puts him to sleep.

Tony drops to the floor gasping for air because Magneto was pushing the armor into him. "Jarvis, fold up this suit." The suit unfolds off Tony and into a briefcase. "Coming."

...

"Tony's coming," Jean says.

"Okay..." Miranda says sobbing into her knees still. Lucario and Pachirisu lean against Miranda hugging her trying to comfort her but she won't stop. A shadow appears in front of Miranda and she looks up.

"Hey, it's okay," Tony says. Tony picks her up and she wraps her arms around his neck sobbing into it.

"Thank... you..." Miranda whispers.

"I'm gonna take you to the mansion instead of the helicarrier. Away from Widow, Phil, Maria, and Fury. I won't let anyone hurt you," Tony whispers petting her hair.

On the way to the mansion Tony holds Miranda the whole time while she crys into his shoulder with the gazes of everyone's concern on them.

Rogue, Bobby, Kitty, and Kurt are all whispering to each other.

"Do you think she's okay?" Kitty asks.

"She's pretty," Bobby says.

"Shut up, Bobby," Rogue says jabbing him in the stomach.

"Sorry, babe," Bobby says. "I was just saying."

"Tis true. She dis very pretty," Kurt says. "I dink dhat she just needs to cwy it out."

"I hope she feels better," Kitty says.

"So, she's a pokemon trainer. That's a Lucario and that's a shiny Pachirisu," Bobby says excitedly.

"I still can't believe they exist," Kitty says.

"I wonder if they will let us touch them?" Rogue asks.

"Pachirisu?" Bobby says. Pachirisu looks over at the strange looking ice kid and watches as he changes into a normal boy. She looks a little taken aback. "Sorry, can we maybe pet you?" Pachirisu looks at Miranda and ignores the glare from Lucario then looks back to them. She slowly walks over to Bobby. "My name is Bobby."

"I'm Rogue."

"I'm Kitty."

"I'm Kurt."

"Chuu.. pah..." Pachirisu says sadly and uncertainly.

"We hope your trainer is okay," Kitty says. Pachirisu looks at her and nuzzles her hand. "Aww! You're so cute!"

Pachirisu goes to everyone and lets them pet her while still keeping an eye on her crying trainer.

If you don't like the X-men involved in this story... well... sorry... that's too bad. Comment!

Also, I edited the picture. Don't hate it was really complicated and nerve racking but I think it's pretty good.
