The mental connection he shared with Jo was making him feel her pain. He grit his teeth, straightening up slowly and painfully. His stomach was searing with pain, which meant Jo was hurt badly. He could feel their connection weakening by the second. He wanted to be next to her, yearning inwardly to be be next to her, but he couldn't go to her. Cyclonus was right; he didn't want to suffer the same fate.

Sinister picked Jo up carefully, trying not to worsen her condition. He walked over to Zeb, giving his son a daring look in the eyes, as he set her down before him, still crouching over her to be there for protection, "Speak, my dear."

"Zeb," Jo whispered and smiled touching the boy's face as she began fading even more, 'I wanted to give you something, but you left us before I could. This will hurt a little, and the light will burn as your eyes adjust," she murmured tiredly as her eyes went cloudy and sightless, and her sight went to Zeb's eyes, "I love you Zeb, my son," she managed to add before her body went limp and Jo was no more.

Zeb growled, his hands going to his face. Covering his eyes beneath his hood, he grit his teeth. After a moment, as the pain faded, his hand dropped. Pulling his hood down, he stared at Jo. He could see? He saw her eyes, sightless, and he touched his face, realizing what she had done. He stared at her, wide-eyed, then looked to Sinister, locking his new-found gaze with the man's red ones, ignoring the burn, his deep lavendar eyes filled with utter confusion.

"This is what Apocalypse will wrought," he told Zeb, his eyes burning in anger towards anyone and everything, "You have fallen to him, and those you love will be lost."
He picked up his love's lifeless body, and began carrying her back towards the enterance, "Marauders! We're leaving," he cried.
Shrapnel rushed to Iada's side, and helped her to her feet. He didn't say anything, but a look of grief that he flashed her spoke volumes.

"What happened Shrapnel?" Iada asked holding her head and wincing at her broken ribs, "What happened to Jo? Damnit I miss everything!"

Shrapnel kissed her head, truly loving the fact he was still able to spend time with her, even now. He always just accepted it, but had forgotten to cherish it, "Jo is gone," he told her, "We're leaving."

"What, she's dead?" Iada asked her eyes going wide and she blinked a few time before her eyes hardened, "Bout time she did something useful," Iada growled coldly and crossed her arms.

Shrapnel gave her a disgusted look, "What is your problem," he asked, "What did Jo do to you to make you so angsty against her?"

"Nothing," Iada said crossing her arms and frowning, "Absolutely nothing, actually I liked Jo, I just don't like Sinister."

Deception watched them go, his face emotionless, before turning his back to the Marauders. "Pathetic..." He murmered, glancing up at Cyclonus."Just pathetic..."

"Perhaps," he said, "but the fact remains that they are still our prey." He looked back towards Apocalypse, the two men still standing offensively before his throne, "My Lord! SHall we dispose of those vermin for you?"

"Let them go," Apocalypse said, "They are nothing to be worried about anymore," he said before standing up and then disappearing.
"Oh almost forgot," Iada said bounding back to the crib, picking up the triplets and rejoining the group, "Cause you know, children at the future and all that jazz."

Ravage scoffed the large mutant who disappeared before them, and looked to his friend, "Come on, let's catch the ride back home," he said, hitting Sideswipe on the shoulder, before turning to the door, glancing at Deception and holding back the urge to attack him.

Deception's face below the hood was expressionless, though his lavender eyes were filled with thought. He felt someone look at him, glancing up at Christian. His eyes were dull, his lips relaxed into a frown. He blinked, looking away after a moment, turning around and stalking back into the shadows.
