Watchful Eye (Razor)

The Sidri are a nomadic race of predators which evolved in deep space, on a free-floating cluster of asteroids. Despite their normally-small size, they were surprisingly cunning, ruthless, and territorial. Deadly creatures, they often worked as bounty hunters for the Shi'ar Empire.

You wouldn't expect to see one skulking about Genosha, watching a young man from afar. But there it was: keeping a close eye on one Malik Withrow as he stayed outside a building. The Sidri's small, black body helped it stay in the shadows, where it could hopefully observe its target without being noticed.

In truth, this wasn't an alien species. This Sidri was a living construct, created by a mutant. And from the safety of Sinister's own base, Hunter was able to see, move, and speak through this little creature. For today's mission required him to observe some strange noises and sites on the other side of Genosha, to see if anyone was planning on intruding on Sinister's land.

"Who is he...?" Marv whispered to himself. "I don't recognize him. An X-Man? A survivor?"

Malik Withrow was doing some patrols for right now. He was honestly kind of fearful for what he had heard from Mister Sinister when he took Ziggy Karst from him and the X-Men. Not only that, but she was going willingly. They were going somewhere as a base, and it really troubled him to know that this base that he was talking about was Genosha. Yet, he was here, and Sinister was seemingly not. Maybe Magneto had beat him here? He had mentioned that he had been working on reclaiming Genosha for some time now, but that doesn't mean that Mister Sinister hasn't also been making moves for a good amount of time as well.


He'd normally kept a perimeter around the area the brotherhood was using, but he was getting to be a little more adventurous today. He wanted to expand. Maybe he could find Sinister. Surely the mutated freak wouldn't kill him. He couldn't help but despise that Magneto was even in question of working for this guy... So much dead mutant blood ran through his veins. All those powers were stolen, even further offensive that they were given to him by Apocalypse... The worst kind of mutant... The one that felt that not all mutants were created equal...


He'd push on, keeping a watchful eye around. He'd lost his enhanced senses in exchange for unlocking the true potential for his bone powers, but it didn't mean that he didn't have the training from Daken, Warpath, and Nightcrawler to help him scout out for things. He was mostly just hoping that whatever he was looking for wasn't tiny and stealing his DNA... Because Sinister just LOVED doing that.

Looks like the kid didn't notice him. It might be a little cocky, and quite risky, but... why not take advantage of this? Sneak right past him and head into his base. Maybe he could find Magneto and snipe him. As much as he didn't want to help Sinister, wiping out a huge criminal like Magneto could also be good. Assuming Magneto even was a criminal, and all those stories about him weren't government-sponsored, anti-mutant propaganda. 

"Spy on Magneto. Kill Magneto? No, Magneto would kill me. But only if he can find me. Maybe I can weaken him... But first, spy."

The Sidri covered off of the ground by a few centimeters, but its limbs gently grazed the ground as it moved. Moving as quickly and stealthily as a snake, the shadowy creature darted out of the grass and skittered right by the sentry. Hopefully, he wouldn't notice this little creature as it moved. Surely, there had to be some sort of entrance nearby.

"Skitterskitterskitterskitter."

Razor began walking forward seemingly unknowing of the creature that was skittering by him. Something that the small creature had failed to notice was that the boy scouting also had a network of thin tendrils snaking out along the grass that were coming out of his pant legs. The small creature would hover over the tendril for a split second, and then it'd immediately snap up and wrap itself around the creature.


The small, writhing creature would be pulled up to Razor's face as he inspected it for a moment.


"Hey there, little guy... You wanna tell me who you're working for and why? Not that you're gonna live through this, but you could do the right thing and make it quick or you could not tell me and make this slow and very VERY painful..."


Two spiked bone tendrils would be poised at the creature's face.


"Which is it gonna be?"

Just as freedom seemed within reach, something pulled him back and locked him in place. Alas, Marvelous was to pay for his hubris, for he was captured by some sort of hard, spine-like tendril. seemingly coming from the ground.

His eye widened as the guy approached him. His pupil narrowed as the guy made it clear that he wasn't going to let the Sidri leave alive. The threat of more boney tendrils just went to show that his captor was serious.

Well, this wasn't good.

"I am but a humble alien, seeking asylum and refuge from aliens, such as yourself. I mean you no harm; I just need a new home. But I can do harm, if you insist on being an asshole about it. For example, I can..."

He can...? Admittedly, he didn't think things through. What could he do to deter the kid from attacking? Spawn a knife, maybe? Could he do that? Pepper-spray him? Marv wasn't sure of his capabilities and limitations just yet, and now wasn't the best time to try and figure it out.

"I can... psionically impregnate you?"

Okay, not his best improv. But this could work. This could work.

"Yes. When we are killed, our minds jump into the nearest living creature and we form eggs inside of their body. Something tells me you're not equipped to give birth. So please, spare me and spare yourself."

Razor would listen to the whole schpiel from the little thing before it told him that it would psionically impregnate him... Odd wording and odd method for something like a defense mechanism... Didn't really sound too effective as a defense mechanism if you were literally getting killed.


"Ya know, I think I'm gonna call bullshit on that. Why don't you just tell me what is actually going on. I'm not like... Actually gonna hurt you if you don't mean any harm. I just do that to look and sound intimidating. I can't really do the whole LOOKING intimidating thing, so I've got to just back it up with action." He'd say, retracting the bone tendrils into his back.


He'd begin walking the direction that the creature was running from and sigh.


"Are you all this tiny, or are there bigger versions of you?" He'd ask. Last thing he wanted was to get killed by a damn bug.

Shut up, it's a good mechanism. Your offspring are passed on and you eliminate a threat, keeping the next generation safe. It's a net gain for this imaginary species. 

"I come in many sizes," the Sidri explained. "That's all I can say."

Regardless, the boy recalled his tendrils and let the little alien go. Still, the Sidri kept its eye on the possible threat, watching and waiting for any sudden movements. Though he was told things were safe now, he knew he had to watch out for any nasty tricks. He wasn't going to reveal himself so soon, if he couldn't trust him yet.

Still... if this kid was here, that meant he was in danger. Potentially from Marvelous, but definitely from his boss. At the very least, he owed it to the guy to warn him about Genosha.

"What are you doing here, anyway? This is Sinister's island now. If he catches you here, he's going to ruin your life. If you don't want that asshole to get you, you better leave while you can."

Razor's body would tense when the creature mentioned Sinister... Like... THE Mister Sinister? That man sent a chill down his spine. He was so evil! For no reason. It was like he enjoyed it. Nothing he did was for any reason, he just liked ripping mutants apart. That man was a plague to society... If you could even call him a man. He was more like a machine.


"Well, not that I want to see him ever again... I don't think this is his island or anything... He's pretty, erm... Not very present, when Magneto is like... Right over on the other side of the island. I don't think much can come of it, but don't worry too much. I'm sure Magneto would help you guys out of Sinister's grubby hands."


He'd let the thing go so it could fly around again and look at it.


"Well, if there really are a lot of you guys, I probably won't be able to take you all down, so why not let me hang out? These patrols are getting boring, and talking to Magneto all day is just... NOT the move."

At last, freedom! And with that, he could simply just fly away and avoid socializing entirely. Or he could stay and take up Razor's offer. Magneto was strong, maybe he could help Marvelous escape from Sinister's clutches. Hell, maybe they could team up and finally wipe that smug Pagliaccio's face. He could almost taste freedom...

"... I'm alright," was his response. "Sinister's not that bad. I've been through worse. Just avoid him, and you're safe. Forget I said anything."

It was quite the reversal, but that's how Marvelous saw the situation. But he wasn't planning on leaving Sinister any time soon, because... He didn't have a way to finish that sentence, so he wasn't going to. 

At any rate, the boy's kind gestures were enough to take the edge off. Feeling more comfortable, the creature began to change its shape. Its body expanded, limbs sprouted forth, and the Sidri's head took the shape of a human's. Within a moment, the original form was completely gone. Now, a man stood there in its place.

"Much better, I think," he said quietly. Now back to Razor. "I gotta ask, what's a kid doing on Genosha, working for Magneto? Shouldn't you be in school? Or- let me guess, Magneto and Xavier are working together?"

That was absolutely the case. As if all their "fights" weren't just staged. You'd have to be an idiot not to think Magneto was either a psy-op set up by the American government, or Xavier's bad faith actor to make the X-Men look good.
