Steven Smug Daniels, known as Steve, was busy one week prior setting up contacts within the anti-mutant organization. His luck finally showed when they agreed to meet with him. Steve wore a long sleeve shirt under a leather jacket, his bleach blond hair was slicked back and his blue eyes scanned the street for anyone wishing to tag along. This mission was vital to get inside the heads of these haters, possibly find out when the next war would start.
Having not affiliated himself with any group, it made it easier to not create close ties and endanger anyone he knew. One could say this was redemption for the horrible things he did in the past. All he thought was this was his chance to crack open a case that the brotherhood and the Institute of Xavier had yet to deal with. Folding his arms he left the window of oppurtunity open for say...5 more minutes before he headed out.

Cable had spent weeks hunting for this man. He stood on the roof watching the man. from up here there was nothing to see as of yet. This was going to end bad or good but he wanted to see if the man was worth his time. he watched as he saw a group of people moving towards them. the man had skill's and they would be useful but the question was would he be willing to go that extra mile if he had to.
Cable T.O had granted him several advance upgrades like his eye. he scanned the people some of them were armed. he snorted as they walked to wards him. He was ready if it went violent he would make his move but only if the man could clearly not handle him self.

Seeing men approach him he let out a sigh. This wasn't exactly what he wanted to do with his time, but, if push came to shove he would take these men out. They weren't mutants, so, he had to operate with discretion, break a few rips, hospitalize the rest. Watching as one man charged he lifted his leg and caught him in the chest sending him crashing into the wall. The next man that came at him he warded off the punch with a raised forearm and then threw him into some trash cans. Ducking as another man threw himself at him he heard the crack of teeth on the pavement and snickered. "That first step is always a challenge, better get a helmet next time."
Watching a man withdraw a knife he pulled forth a long sword from its waiting sheath. "Care to change weapons?" He exchanged his sword with the man and as he came at him with his own sword he stepped to the side and slashed at the back of his neck. Drawing blood the guy was angered and came at him again, this time he brought himself in closer and stabbed him in the shoulder. Hearing the man scream he kicked the knife deeper into his shoulder and watched him collapse up against the wall. Watching the others scatter he withdrew a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. "Damn humans...I wonder if they caught on to me."

one of the men pulled a gun out and a bullet flew towards Steve and stopped a few inches from his fore head. slowly it turned around and flew back hitting the man in the leg he went down hard. cable walked off the edge of the building and started to float down. he hovered a few feet above the ground his arms folded a blue glow covering his body. "You know, you could find out a lot more if you were telepathic that way you could find out all the answer to your case in seconds."

Pulling the cigarette out of his mouth he exhaled the tobacco and wore a smirk. "Telepathy can only get you so far in life. I prefer the rough and tussle of life, not knowing when danger is staring me in the face. The name is Steve, and you are?" Looking at the man as he hovered there he could tell he had access to technology the humans hadn't even strived to create yet. The glowing blue that surrounded his body was like an aura, at least it isn't red, he noted as he took another drag on his cigarette.

"People call me cable. I find it give you the edge i hate the idea of being jumped and being able to smash a building with a thought can come in handy. Telepathy has its uses like finding out the address of there base of operations. I can take you there if you need and help you out to remove the problem?"
cable wanted to know how the man would react to the offer. "You will need some thing a bit better than that sword if your going agents a anti Mutant group." Cable glow was a bi product of his powers. He was glad that he had not been in this time for more than a mouth. he had made no waves as of yet but once he had a team he would be ready.

Finishing his cigarette he dropped it to the ground and smashed it with the toe of his shoe. "Thanks for the offer, but, I already know where their base of operation is. I was waiting here looking for volenteers to help me take it out...put fear in them. Humans are a lot more fragile then they tend to be. They captured the morlocks, a race of mutants who lived underground and took away their powers. Sad day when everything goes up in bloody doom and falmes, but, what can you do?"
Picking up his sword he stashed it inside his sheath and kept his back to him, a smirk playing on his cold lips. "I have a better offer, why don't you tag along and help me take out this organization, or at least part of it. When we're done I'll hear you out on your offer." Looking over his shoulder he stared at the man with his blue eyes inquiring his answer.

Cable laughed. "why not i have time to kill." he floated down landing beside the man. " so shall we get a roof top view?" he placed his hand on the mans shoulder "Body slide by one." with a blur they appeared on a roof close to the hide out. "Will this do? cable walked over to a box and opened it. " Just think of me as your hi tech Boy scout." he pulled out a pistol like gun and started to load it with shells. "I find a mix of plasma and a solid slug dose much more damage than a sword. " he offered the gun to the man. It was far more advanced than anything you could find in this time. he smiled "us mutants have to stick together."

Steve watched the man and was glad he was on his side. It wouldn't do if he had to fight against him, because, well...he'd lose. The wounds alone he wouldn't be able to repair with his state of rest, hardly. Watching the ground disappear he appeared on a roof top near the organization's hide out. Holding onto a rail he steadied himself as the after effects of such a jump could cause him to hurl. Watching him as he loaded his high tech pistol he noticed the gun offered to him. "No offense, but guns aren't my style. I agree that your techno wizarding skills are an asset to this mission, but, I live and die by the sword. Now...this place is planning another attack on the mutants, and, they've been upping their game of late. We need to take out the sentries that patrol along down there. Think your up for that?" Steve asked as he pulled out his sword and watched it shine as the light hit it at just the right angle.

cable laughed " This is when that Telepathy comes in handy." cable closed his eyes and a few moments later. "God they were weak hardly had to put any effort in to that. They will not even register us in fact they have all realized that this thing they are doing is wrong and that they should slip away right now and turn over a new leaf. So This is your show whats the plan." he had all ready scanned every mind in that place and knew how things were laid out. he was ready but he need to see what this man was capable of and if he was worth cables time. "good to see you sticking to your morals and yes i am aware of the morlock problem and i just was unable to get there in time."
The truth was he had not been here and he would of let it happen for this very reason. the cull helped so many people in the long run and he would let 100 die if it saved millions.

Steve watched the man called Cable close his eyes. Moments later apparently the sentries had retired from their positions, just as he said, and now were going to take up a new way of life. If life were easy, well, where was the excitement? He would take a cracked rib anyday to a cool and relaxed breezy vacation on some tropical island with a pineapple mixed drink in hand. Staring down at the warehouse like base of operations he knew that if they went in and negotiated, revealed they were mutants, all would be lost. These people were hating on their kind...and...changing their mind was a little too late. Xavier had made a speech years ago to try and confront the anti-mutant organization, led by Senator Kelly. His efforts were wasted, of course.
"Alright, we'll go in fast, and make sure our message is read loud and clear. We are not here to litter the floor with bodies, we are here to end a conflict, or, at least for the most part lay one part of it to rest. Find the leader of this group and detain him, we'll torture him if necessary to obtain the information we need. We head out...now!" Steve jumped from the roof with his sheath above his head. Using it he slid down the electrical wire and dropped to the floor in a tuck and roll. Bringing his blade out he combated with the nearest man coming out of there and sliced him in the abdomen sending him careening into the wall.

This took him back a few years. He jumped down landing on the ground with a boom as the dust cleared two men rushed towards him guns in hand as they started to fire. the bullets just stopped in the air. They fell to the floor as cable moved quickly towards them. quickly he darted between them punching one of them in the chest. The man went flying back his ribs cracked. he brought his knife down in to the other mans ribs. He looked at the wall it was the best entrance available . He pulled out the gun and fired the blast sent ruble every were and a large whole was left.
"simpler than knocking." he walked towards the whole. he felt alive again he had been trained for snatch and grabs like this all his life and knew what he needed to do. Another man rushed him with a lead pipe he cough it in a hand and the pipe bent under his forcefull grip. his knee connected with the mans groin.

Wearing a grin as he watched the man in action he knew he lived by this code. The code was simple, beat up the bad guys and come out alive. Rushing into the hole that was formed he saw a table scatter playing cards and men with disgruntled looks showering him with bullets. Rolling behind a table he closed his eyes and thought up a solution to this problem. Rising up he held the table and caught the bullets, making sure to hold the table close to him. Throwing the table at the shooters he flipped over a man with the gun and stabbed the man as he went into a crouch. The blade pierced his groin and the man squealed as he hit the floor holding his crotch. "I was aiming for his stomach," he told the men surrounding him.
Soon enough they piled onto him with their knifes slashing at his body. Feeling the tearing of his shirt he glowered and yelled as he threw them off of him. Standing up with one sleeve gone he spun with his sword cutting through throng of men, each one falling with either a limb missing or an ear cut astrewn. Wearing a smile as his blade flashed ruby he kicked off from the wall and snapped a kick at the man's face causing the nose to crack and his eyes to roll upwards as he fell down. Looking around the chaos he looked over at Cable. "Cable...check the second floor...find the leader before he escapes."

Cable nooded as he floated of the ground and threw the roof on to the second floor. the room was quiet but he could feel a man in the room. found him he sent the message to his partner. it was the joys of his power there was no confusion in the battle. he could link his team togeather so they could work as a team any were. he did not move he could feel the man wanted to shoot. " I am faster than that bullet and that thing you can feel in the back of your mind is me. If you want i can shut of your higher brain function and put you in to a comma." with that the man hut the floor in a comma like sleep. cable walked up to the man and picked him up and threw him over his shoulder. he looked down watching his team mate work. A smile covering his face.
The boy was good. with some training he could be very good and an asset to the team. They would need an exit plan and he had one but he would hold fire. he looked at the time and started to count inside his head. i suggest Steve, that you move towards the south wall as our lift will be here in a moment.

Steve sheathed his blade as he heard the commotion upstairs. Looks like Cable found the man, he thought, good work. Looking over his shoulder he pulled a knife free from his belt and watched a man retreat. The guy was good, his speed unmatched, but...could he dodge a flying knife? Holding the handle he threw the knife watching it hurtle across the big space, counting in seconds before it...and he is down. The knife clutched into his spine and sent the man reeling forward with a silent scream uttered on his lips. Falling to the floor he walked over and plucked the knife from his back. "Never run when a knife is involved," he said as he stashed the blood knife on his belt. His shirt was torn up and he had several wounds from the pile.
Hearing Cable in his head he began to move to the south. Closing his eyes he entered a state of rest and his wounds slowly began to heal. With no enemy about, it was the only time he could really patch things up. When he opened his eyes again the only wounds on his body were scars from where the knives entered his body. "That should do," he noted as he made sure his sheath was still with him.
