with a blur a man appeared on the crafts main deck. he had his hand on a small girl no older than ten. he looked around body sliding was working again it was strange how so many of his powers worked. he looked around the craft as deck as men with guns started to surround him. slowly he raised his hands his eyes was glowing. Even though he traveled back and across in time he would not leave hope alone.
He had told the girl just to stand beside him, it would be like a time jump but they would just be changing place not time. she had nodded he made sure she would not get scared and ran. The men were close and he knew what he had to do.
"I want to talk with the director now." the men held a distance of he could hear there thoughts they knew who he was some of them thought he was a terrorist but other thought he was a hero. lucky the one in charge was on his side and radio for the director. He listened in on surface thoughts. he was shocked the director was Sage one of Xavier pupils. then it dawned on him she use to be bishops partner. he started to wonder if this was a good idea.

Sage was in her office going through various reports of known terrorist movements within the US when her Comm's device crackled into life requesting her presence on a higher level, talking about a mutant who had appeared on board the helicarrier demanding to speak with her. Immediately she tidied away the papers and began her journey to the upper level of the helicarrier. Not taking long to get there she signaled the agents from behind the intruder, someone she recognised but hadnt seen in a very long time. "What is so important Nathan that you had to appear on my ship and demand to speak with me?" she asked in her usual cold tone as she approached the man and young girl from the rear. She took in the girl as she approached them, her mind running ten to the dozen as she sensed the girls powers, who was she?

" i would rather do this in private." he spoke just as coldly. he knew from this history books what sage could do. he started to use his own telepathy to lock down Hopes mind so that sage or any one working from her could not get in. he started to do the same for him self. he knew of her reputation and he could tell by her look that she was not a token leader but was really in charge.
he looked at her men " call of your goons if i was her to fight i would not of brought Hope with me and they all be dead by now." it was not a threat but a statment of fact he counted out so many ways to kill them all by now. he placed a protective hand on Hope never looking any were else but sage.

"First of all they are not goons, they are SHIELD agents and with you making this unexpected arrival on board my ship they have every right to be stood where they are with guns pointed at you, secondly if you want to talk in private follow me" she waved a signal of dismissal to the agents before turning on her heel and beginning the walk back to her office. She didn't like just how these two had turned up aboard the helicarrier and she sure as hell didn't like the girl's presence, someone about her didn't bode well for any of them judging by the powerful genes she'd sensed just by being in close proximity to her, god help them all if she was to let loose the potential she had within her body, it would be worse than any loss of control Jean had ever had.

"come on Hope, it will be ok i promise." the girl nodded and took his lead. cable glared at some of the guards as they walked past. He knew this would all be complicated and well hard to explain luckly he could do it in such a way that would only take moments.
"your not going to like this." He did not care if she did or not as long as she gave him what he needed to protect hope. he looked at the young girl and smiled she been threw so much. He knew he was not her father he never claimed to be but people thought that and it was easyer to let them think it. He protected her and feed her and cared for her and was not taht the job of a father?

Only when she was safely inside her office and sat behind her desk once more did Sage speak "Tell me Nathan what exactly am i not going to like?" she asked with a hint of sarcasm in her voice. Although her eyes remained on the man her glasses were scanning the young girl who held his hand tentatively. She was an oddity and so far from what she could deduce a possible avatar of the phoenix force a bad omen for all. "Speak quickly or i will remand you in custody for entering my vessel without the appropriate authorization..and before you boast that nothing can hold you, think again this is not the X-Men you are dealing with any longer, nor are we base civilians without a clue as how to deal with a threat such as yourself"

cable snorted. "Its ok none of that will be necessary." he turned to the girl who looked scared. " don't worry hope you know i will not let anything happen to you." his eye was glowing he knew sage would be slightly annoyed.
This will be quicker its a very long story he sent to her mind hoping all this would get threw the fire walls she had in place. An image of avengers tower appeared with the old x-men the new avengers and several heroes. he looked to sage who was standing beside him in this image.
I been in the time stream for nearly 10 years, i think i hoped a reality as well.
They all started talking about Wanda and that she should be killed. He waited till they finished.
I dont know what happened next but i know, from my Father she did this.
The image blurred and was now in cerebra and Emma and Scot were talking that there was now only 198 mutants and the scarlet witch had done this. We called it M day 90% were gone all the mutant came to the school for protection, they called them self the 198 Images of the mutant camps with the sentinels of O.N.E "guarding" them all.
Then the image blurred again to show Charles at cerebro. he was blasted clean across the room and were in a panic he told Scot about the new mutant birth. image after image of the war that followed came about death of some of the x men and others, including what as a new born she did to rouge, Then the fight with bishop were he tried to kill hope. Bishop followed us in to the time stream but not before he killed Xavier
He showed sage the talk with an old Sam and then all the time bishop tried to kill hope. then them in the barren world and the time slip with them finding them self on the frount grass of the school.
"Now do you understand why i am here?" his tone cold and harsh.

Accessing Sage's mind wasn't quite as risk free as it could have been. She hadn't even the time to pull down her firewall completely before Cable began to send images into her head, some of which rebounded in a nasty attack. The majority however did make their way through and she was able to piece together what she was seeing, an alternate or rather possible future timeline, with of course the exception of a few details. When the images stopped and Cable spoke once more she simply sat back in her seat and crossed her arms across her chest. "Moving through time to protect a little girl....How noble of you Nathan" her tone was curt and ice cold, why now had he chosen to reveal his dirty little secret and why to her of all people. She'd never been trusted amongst the X-Men at least not fully. "So what exactly do you want from me?"

"first off i want to know were bishop is so i can end that threat to Hope here. Second of i want a job in return for protection of hope and a good wage. Now i know this deal dose not sound to sweet to you but i will offer you samples of My D.N.A techno-organic D.N.A Plus bar in mind i have knolage dating up to the 40th century along with technology to match that."
he looked to hope, if she was able to do what every one believed she was ment tyo then it would all be worth it. "You said you could hold i don't think you could sage, but for one i not willing to take that risk and i got some one to protect and S.H.E.I.L.d might just be the tool i need to help me with that."
Hope looked around the office she looked at sage for a moment. slowly she spoke. " I am sorry for you loss." Cable wondered who she was meaning about, he knew xavier had died in this world. "I lost my mum in new liberty. If it was not for nathan i would be dead. HE a good man and as much as dose not liek to admit it he is my father." cable shot hope a look he never claimed that because he was not her father. He had lost his son many years ago and never thought about childreen. He was Hope's father he did everything a dad did do, hell he even threw her in to teh future to protect her, just like his own. "lets just say time travel is a right of passage for us summers, dad did it to me as well." he gave hope a smile and pulled her in for a hug somthing he had never realy done in all the years. "So sage what would you rather have an eye on hope or some one like strife, sinister or Bishop have her?" his acidic tone as he spoke sages former partners name was clear for every one to hear.

"You still haven't answered my question Nathan, what exactly do you want?" she said getting impatient now. It wasn't as if she didn't have other matters to attend to. she uncrossed her arms and placed the palms of her hands flat on the desk in front of her "What makes you think I wouldn't be keeping an eye on her anyway...I don't like people turning up out of the blue in my city" she added coldly "Now get to it or i'll ask you to leave" she really was running out of patience.

"Sage we can body slide any were on earth you would not see us for dust. all i want is your help in protecting her and in return you get me on your pay roll.If you can find Bishop as well that would be helpful, i think i will need to have a talk to him about some of the stuff we been threw over the years."
he kept her eyes locked with his own. he knew this would be hard but she was as cold as the historens said.

"I suppose i could use you on my payroll, but i will tell you know Bishop dropped off the grid a while back, no one not even me has heard from him since then" she replied tapping her fingers on her desk "And what of the girl, what do you expect to do with her while i have you working?" She was curious as to what he expected shield or more importantly her to do with the young girl while he was working. One thing was for sure, she sure as hell wouldn't become a babysitter. "I can arrange at best for her to have some tutoring at the Xavier Mansion with other children and a shield escort at all times" he eyes kept locked on Cables, she would not budge on this next thing "The Helicarrier is no place for children and i will not have one aboard all the time"

"of course not, its not like sh can shoot a gun or hack in to computers at age ten." she opened her mouth to say "but i ca" cable move his hand over her mouth to silence her. " i Dont know if i want her nere magneto i dont trust him. But when your agents have her i want to be able to scan them before they take her read there minds to make sure there no plans of stabbing me in the back." for the last ten years the girl had not moved out of his sight it was going to be strange to not have her around.

"Well the decision is your's Nathan but if you wish my help then the girl will attend Xavier's, and by all means you can scan the agents but you will not find anything, i trust those i assign to special cases" She replied coldly her blue eyes boring into his. The offer was on the table for him to take or leave it, whether he would make the right decision or not she could not say but the probability of the matter suggested that he would accept her offer because he needed someone to keep an eye on the girl and stop her coming to harm. "The window of opportunity is slowly closing, so decide now whether you want my help or leave and don't ever step foot aboard my Helicarrier again because if you do i will not hesitate in bringing you down"

" Done" he reached out his hand for her to take. the gold ring glistening on the metallic finger. "You may trust them but the question will always be will they get compromised can you blame me for wanting to know hope is safe?" he knew sage was not the family type and he knew she would not understand she just saw this as another task but to him for a very long time had seen it as something more.
He looked to hope he could not belive he was doing this he never let her out of his sight a day in her life, now she was going to a school and he would not be there what if she was attacked and needed him and he was not there? he would just have to find away to keep an eye on her when she was not with him.
