A search and rescure (Attn: ALL XMEN)

[bishop]

It had been nearly a week since Blink had disappeared, it was sometimes hard to count the days, there seemed to be a black cloud constantly over the city - ever since Apocalypse took over the world just became darker to Bishop.

Lucas Bishop was doing some reconaissance work flying over the horsemen's towers and trying to view anything he could, especially anything that would help him find Blink. It was whilst he was flying over Holocaust's tower that he saw something, Holocaust was leaving. A few days beforehand many humans and mutants were slaughtered by Holocaust and his legion, but surely there was nobody left, so why would Holocaust be moving out again?

He followed after placing a cloaking device over his plane, straight to Apocalypse's stronghold. The place seemed to be more alive than usual, there was more activity here than Bishop had seen in a long time. But there was no escapees running from throngs of guards, no explosions, there was nothing to give reason to the activity. Then another plane approached the stronghold, it held another horseman, Mr Sinister. Why would two of the most powerful horseman be visiting Apocalypse in person? They had communication devices that the X-Men couldn't tap into, why wouldn't they just use those?

Bishop once again found his stomach to be writhing with a bad feeling, he pushed a small button on the side of his glasses, the lense zoomed in towards Sinister just before he entered the stronghold. Lucas Bishop then noticed that Abyss was there as well... The Horsemen all meeting with Apocalypse was a sign of bad things to come.

However a thought came over Bishop's mind, he turned the plane and raced back towards the mansion.

Landing the plane he stormed straight through searching for Magneto and any other X-Men he could. He found Magneto sitting near the computer, once again searching for Blink.

"Don't worry about the computer anymore, we're going to the Horsemen's towers. None of them are there" Bishop said, it sounded more like a command, something that Bishop was used to giving more than being commanded. "If Blink's in one of them then we're going to bust her out".

The only problem was if Blink was in Apocalypse' stronghold, how could they break her out from there when all the horsemen and Apocalypse were there.

Sunfire walked calmed and collected through the X-men's mansion. Since Blink's disappearence he had become far more withdrawn and secretive then normal. For reasons he couldn't explain even to himself Shiro felt the lose of a teamate to be his fault. He knew that placing so much on his own shoulders was never a good thing but ever since the loss of his homeland he simply could not help it. He knew little of what was transpiring, he only knew that Blink was missing and that he and the X-men must do all in their power to recover her. As he continued through the mansion he heard Bishop speaking with Magneto. As the words drifted in over the faint crackle of his atomic flame Shiro felt a slight glimmer of hope, perhaps Lucas was on to something. Without waiting for Magneto's reply he strode into the room, his body gave of more light and heat into the room as the others became aware of his prescence.

"Might I suggest we try Sinister's tower first? If Apocalypse's forces have captured Blink there is a chance they might not know who she is. The horsemen and elite members certainly know our identities but it would be difficult to ensure that all of his underlings had us memorized.

If Apocalypse did have Blink he certainly would have found a way to gain our attention and force us to try and rescue her from a time and place of his choosing. Since he has not done this I believe he may not realize one of our numbers are in his grasp.

Logic would dictate that if she is anywhere she will either be in the holding pens or have been moved to Sinister's Tower for experimentation. While it is only a theory I believe we can achieve our goals by shortening our search area."

Sunfire stood impassively as he awaited a response from either man. While he respected both he had come to feel annoyed at their complacency lately. Action would need to be taken sooner or later, and if sooner then Sunfire may have to go and rescue Blink alone. He would not stand by as anymore of his allies fell to the mutant tyrant's wrath.

I might request this thread be locked, it clashes with Magneto's thread and I only posted this because nothing was happening in there, until recently.

So in order to not cause faults in the storyline, requesting a lock/delete.
