Wolverine stood in the main room of the base, he had already called everyone in the base to meet him there, he had sad news for everyone. He closed his eyes for a moment and took a deep breath while he waited for the others to come.

Rogue peeked into the room, then walked in. Ya wanted us, Logan? Rogue asked, gesturing to Venom, who stood behind her, watching Wolveriene carefully.
He's not going to hurt me, is he? Venom said quietly, his eyes not leaving Wolveriene.

"Yes, thanks." He stared at Venom for a moment, but turned his gaze away. "No, I'm not going to hurt you."

Venom jumped as Lightning entered the room. She stood next to Venom without saying a word. Rogue smiled at Wolveriene and sat down on a chair, gesturing for Venom and Lightning to do the same. Venom obeyed, pulling Lightning down into the chair next to him.

Sparrow toddled down stairs and pulled on Venom's leg.

Venom picked up the small boy, smiling. Hello, He said, placing the child on his lap.

Fragment toddled down the stairs slowly. Her shirt was orange today, with a pair of matching orange khakis. Her eyes squinted groggily, her rosy cheeks flushed and red as valentine roses. Her sock feet wiggled uncomfortably and she let out a awkward yawn, rubbing her eyes and giving her bed headed hair a scratch. As she stumbled down the stairs, she glanced suspiciously at the two murderers in the room, why were they here? This was her first meeting in the Fifty and she felt a small twitch at her heart as Wolverine announced that there was bad news. What was the bad news? How coinsidental, Fragment thought sourly. Her first meeting was one with bad news.
With a heavy sigh, she thumped into a seat two seats away from Rogue. She leaned back and stared at the ceiling, waiting for Wolverine to get on with what they had to meet for.

Almost everyone had gathered, so Wolverine started. "I'm sorry to say this, Mace is dead." It was blunt, but there wasn't any other way to say it.

Rogue's mouth dropped. He can't be dead! No! What...what about Ace? What's she goin' to do? She's goin' to miss him somethin' awful, Rogue said, tears streaming down her cheeks.
I'm sorry to hear that, Venom said, sympathy in his voice. He didn't particularally like the Fifty, but he still felt bad because they had lost their leader. Lightning just sat there, not really caring what was going on. She just wanted to get out of the fancy-pants Fifty base.

Felidae, Hydro, and Firestorm ran into the room. There hair was all matted with sleep. Felidae looked like she was about to cry and Hydro and Firestorm stood there grimly. "Why Mace!" cried out Felidae. She could feel her powers taking over her again but held them back from control. "Mace was our leader! Who killed him? Who will lead us now?" Hydro stood there as her sister kept crying out upset comments. Hydro never cared that much about Mace. He never put Felidae in isolation. He was a fool. He deserved to die. Hydro stood as rigid as a board and stayed there until Firestorm told her to sit down. Firestorm tried to stay calm for Felidae, they had grown so close over the months and he didn't want to mess this up now. He laid a hand on Felidae's shoulder. "Fel, uh, whoever Mace was killed by will die. I'll make sure that whoever killed him will pay the price." Felidae listened to Firestorm tell her about the predator paying the price. Felidae leapt onto a chair. Startling a few by surprise. "I'm gonna go out right now and lead a patrol to kill Mace's murderer. Who's with me?!"

Fragment shifted in her chair as Felidae jumped up on the plastic stool and started shouting about getting fever killed Mace. She wanted to go, but was it right? It might have been a accident. I will go, she hissed to herself. Slowly, she sunk down, tears welling in her blue eyes like raindrops from storm clouds. She brushed off her khakis, withdrew a shaken breath, and slumped on the floor. She was speed morphing in to her cat form. No need to go tiger. Cat. Stealthy and unnoticed. That would work. Her smooth, creamsicle coloured pelt sifted out of her skin and ate up the orange clothing, leavening patches of creamy orange tabby fur. Her eyes slitted and her hair slunk into her head, leaving only the slender slice of blond. With a important mew, she leaped across the peoples laps, leaping off each on. Even the murderers. Then, with one last leap, she launched her self at Felidaes shoulder, balancing on her shoulder with her sheathed paws itching nervously. " Are you sure about this?" She meowed in cat language.

"No, not now!" Wolverine shouted. "We can't go after the Murders now, Mace isn't the only one we lost. Raven died early today as well. Ace is captured along with Charlie. Jack and a new member, Spine are both wounded." He tired to keep the emotion out of his voice. Right now he was in charge and the last thing he needed was some of them doing something foolhardy.
((Note - Charlie is just a random dude we made up so that we would have to people to exchange for Venom and Lightning.))

Hydro shifted uneasily in her seat as well as Fragment. "Go ahead, Felidae. But I'm not going," she said so quiet that only Hydro, Firestorm, who was sitting two chairs away from her, and Fragment who was perched on Felidae's shoulder. Firestorm looked at Felidae worriedly. "I'll go also." He got up. "I'm sorry, Wolverine. Felidae needs to go. She feels guilty and I think just trying to find the killer of both Mace and Raven would release the pressure from Fel." He walked over to Felidae and laid his hand on her other shoulder. Felidae looked at the three people she had grown so close to and she clenched her fist. "Logan, I'm going no matter what. I can use my new powers now." She put her hood on her head. "Trust me." She looked at Fragment. "Yes, Fragment. I'm sure beyond compare." Her eyes turned red with hatred. She was out for blood. "Night has now fallen." She turned and walked out, her cloak billowing around at her ankles, with Firestorm and Fragment at her side.

Stop! It was our fault Mace died! Not the other Murders! Punish us, not them! Venom cried, setting Sparrow down onto the chair as he lept to his feet. Lightning stood up next to him, her hand where she had once kept her Sakabato and Zanbato before Jack had taken them from her.
Rogue gasped at Venom's revelation, and she began to cry. She couldn't believe that Mace, the bravest of all the Fifty, was dead.

Felidae stopped and turned around. "YOU!" She gritted her teeth and stood before Venom. She towered over him and her hatred came off in waves. "You?! You are the reason that Mace and Raven is dead! I wouldn't care if you were dead! I'm still gonna make sure the Murders pay, because you two runoffs came from there and that's the reason why my leader is dead." Her claws slid out. Felidae hissed, her teeth and fangs were bared menaceingly. Her tail started to become metal and split into two scythes. She roared and her back grew metal plates to deflect any attack. She grew two other heads and her real head became a lion's head while the others became a leopard's and a cheetah's. Her claws sharpened and grew to fifteen feet in length. Felidae was now Claror, the legendary and dreaded Felidaean Queen.
