A year later.
Crown view medical hospital.
"It's been two weeks already and Xavier hasn't thought of seeing his wife and his son."Seraphina sighed and rolled her eyes as she sat up, adjusting the pillow , propping it up against the head board for support .
Nurse Layla smiled."you shouldn't let that bother you mrs hubbard...you know he's a busy man. He's probably caught up with his schedule ... I'm sure he'll come around and by..."
The baby sudden cry cut her off mid sentence."He's awake already."
Nurse Layla walked briskly towards the baby in the cot.
Lifting him up, she cradled him close ,her finger tracing his curls as a smile lit her face.
"He is a photocopy of his father,but has your eyes ."
Seraphina smiled warmly.
The baby who stopped crying a sec ago resumed crying.
"I think he's hungry."
Nurse Layla walked over to Mrs Hubbard.
As soon as she handed the baby to her the door of the ward burst open, revealing three men cloaked head to toe in black.
Seraphina quickly recognized them as her husband guards.
They scanned the room. Their presence silent,calculative and deadly.
As soon as they shut the door behind them, Seraphina spoke ."You all came..." Her eyes darted from face to face."Where is my husband?"
"He ordered we take you with us." Viper spoke with a voice void of emotions.
"But they can't leave yet,she hasn't fully recovered..."
Gunshots cracked through the air, landing squarely on her forehead, silencing her in a flash.
Nurse Layla fell to the ground lifeless.
"How could you!" Seraphina screamed and shifted back , clutching her baby to her chest, fear etching her face.
"Clear the scene Scene... no body,no blood, nothing."Viper spoke sharply."And you ..."Viper spoke looking at ghost."Take the baby."
"No ...you can't take my baby..."Seraphina clutched her baby tightly to her chest.
A broken gasp escaped her lips as a punch landed squarely on her jaw.
She lost control, making it easier for ghost to take the baby.
"You don't know who you're dealing with."Seraphina swallowed, filled with fear and anger ." My husband will easily find me and when he does you'll regret ever taking this course." Seraphina spat.
Viper laughed laconically." Same words from all the women I've killed. Your thoughts can only be possible if he finds you ." He smirked, walking towards her bed ,he dragged her by her hair to the ground."Move!" He spoke sharply , pushing her to walk.
Seraphina began to scream."Help! somebody help! "
"Scream as much as you want ... nobody's going to hear you...This room is sound proof. And president Xavier made sure of that when he built this hospital."
Tears poured down her eyes."please let us go...if it's money you want... I'll make sure it's settled."
"You want me to let you go?"
"Yes... plea..se... please" she stammered.
"Tell your husband to give us the order and you'll be free." The men laughed mockingly.
Seraphina gasped in fear and confusion.
Viper went closer to her, placing his hand around her neck,he whispered in her ear." Silence is your only chance,so don't think about ruin it for the both of you."
Then he released her.
"Please don't ... don't harm my son... please."Her voice were filled with fear.
"Then corporate."
Siren opened the door, dragging a big bag which contained Nurse Layla corpse.
Ghost followed, carrying the baby in his arms .
They were all out of the room almost heading out of the building when they bumped into a doctor.
"Mrs Seraphina?"Dr David looked at her in surprise then his gaze moved to viper."president Xavier sent you to pick her uh? Don't you think it's too soon? She has to fully recover you know."
"I know." Viper spoke sharply. Then he looked at Siren."you all should go I'll meet you shortly."
As soon as they left , Viper directed his gaze back at doctor david." You should know your right doctor david... what do you think president Xavier will do when he hears that you questioned his orders?"
"I..I don't understand." A frown crept his face.
"You won't have a head of course."
Viper smirked, leaving Dr david confused.

Blackstone mansion
"I think Viper was a wrong choice for your target president Xavier... he'll turn the hospital into a blood bath.
Blade spoke plainly.
Nyla, on her way out of the kitchen, holding a glass of water ,caught blade voice.
The mention of blood bath in a hospital stopped her in her tracks, sparking her curiosity to listen in.
"That's why I chose him ..I trust he'll handle things smartly.he isn't dumb." President Xavier said firmly.
"What do you intend to tell Nyla, Seraphina friend...we can't possibly tell her she died while giving birth cause she knows Seraphina gave birth successfully. She might even be planning to visit her friend."
"What have you done to my friend!" Nyla marched in, flaring up.
"Your friend is dead of course."president Xavier stated with emphasis.
Nyla screamed, rushing towards him she began punching him on his chest,but her hits were nothing.
"What did you do to her!"she screamed.
Guards quickly grabbed her, pulling her away from president Xavier.
Blade pointed his gun at Nyla, aiming at her forehead.
President Xavier halted him."Don't shoot...she doesn't have to simply die."
"You're a monster...argh!" She struggled." Why did you kill her?" Tears rushed down her eyes.
" If you aren't blind you'll know my reasons... Now that you know my secrets you don't deserve to live in the main mansion... even if you tell anyone I killed Seraphina no one's going to believe you when you got no proof."
President Xavier smirked,then he turned his gaze to the guards holding her." Take her to the underground vault... that's where she'll be staying."
"Mum!" Five year old Kiara ran towards her mum, hugging her ." Mum? Why are they dragging you?" Kiara stared at her mum, confused.
President Xavier grabbed Kiara by her hand, pulling her to himself.
" Please don't harm her... please."fear etched her face.
"Are you scared Kiara?" President Xavier stroked her hair while looking at Nyla darkly.
"No...why is mum crying." Kiara asked, frowning.
President Xavier released her ." Why don't you go and ask her yourself, okay?"
Kiara nodded and ran to meet her mum.
President Xavier finally faced Nyla." You don't need to be scared Nyla..." President Xavier scoffed."I won't harm the both of you, I'll just keep you both safe now that you know my secrets...who will believe you anyway..." President Xavier stared,his brows raised mockingly." You're still alive because your late husband made a promise to me . At least I still have a little bit of conscience "
Flashback.
President Xavier raised his gun, aiming directly at Tiger forehead,his gaze cold and deadly.
"Wait!" Tiger shouted."please don't shoot...I have something to say."
President Xavier raised his gun down." Speak!"
" I know I broke your laws by falling in love and I accept my punishment,but please..." Tiger gulped down saliver down his throat." If you intend on punishing them... killing me should serve as their punishment... please don't kill them..."
Gunshots cracked through the air, silencing him.
Flashback End.
"Argh!" Nyla screamed." You're a monster!"
"You should be greatfull I kept his promise..."
Facing the guards holding Nyla,he spoke." Take them away."
" Monster! Death will find you no matter your efforts." She screamed, raining curses on him till she was out of sight.
"Geez." President Xavier touched his forehead."what a stress."
Secluded area.
The car stopped and siren got out dragging the bad containing nurse layla body and threw it to the ground. Then he got back to the car and pulled Seraphina out to the ground.
She winced." Where are you taking me to? I need my baby." She tried to stand,but gunshots which landed squarely at her leg made her fall back screaming in pain.
"You should be glad I'm in charge of killing you." Siren smiled harshly.
Fear gripped her heart suddenly,not for fear that she'll die, but for fear of her son .
Siren shot again, twice on her both shoulders.
She screamed in pain.
"Siren! " Viper shouted, pissed already." Waste her and let's leave here asap. We don't have much time already."
Siren sighed and rolled his eyes, disappointed.
He went closer to her and placed the gun in her mouth, smirking.
Tears flowed down her eyes and then the gunshot shot straight down her throat, silencing her instantly.
Blood splashed his face and he smiled.
...
Blackstone mansion .
Dr venom changed his method of infusing president Xavier which he stated was faster and easier.
President Xavier lay in a veinsync capsule,his body still as tubes connected to his veins.
Just a few feet away,the essence amplifier held the synthetic enhancers.
One thin, glistening tube ran from the tiny hand of the child into the amplifier.
Slowly,the blood flowed through it into the amplifier.
Inside it,it swirled,mixed,charged and began it's transformation.
Once ready,the substance flowed into another tube connected directly to Xavier body.
The baby stirred alive,his small body containing just enough blood to survive.
President Xavier managed to sit up, though weak, but conscious." What happened?"
His gaze met the child." Why is it still alive."
"I have no idea... maybe he's a curse."
Dr venom stared at the child with curiosity.
"Waste it then... I'll send my men off to kidnap a newborn."
" Okay boss."
Dr venom took a knife and stabbed the child in his stomach. The child cried followed by a groan from Xavier which halted his second attempt.
He turned and sighted blood pouring from Xavier stomach.
The same position he stabbed on the baby.
"What is going on venom!" Xavier groaned again, holding his stomach.
Venom looked at the child and then back at Xavier.
" There could only be a reason."
" What could that be?"
Venom went over to retrieve a pin and headed back to the child.
It's can't be possible...can it? He thought.
Then he placed the pin on the child face and he cried more louder this time as blood trickled down his cheek.
Dr venom turned his gaze at Xavier and he noticed the trickle of blood on Xavier cheek.
"Oh no ...it can't be possible." Dr venom groaned in horror.
"What's happening venom?" Xavier eyes were shutting slowly,he was becoming weak .
"If I don't save the child... you'll die."
"Uh?" His eyes were failing him. So this is how he was going to die. He thought. Then he heard venom last words.
"The child is your weak point."
Then darkness finally overtook him..
