"You!" Ororo gasped. Thunder rumbled as her mind and heart whirled.
She remembered well the beautiful face before her. She remembered nights of endless passion and kisses falling down over their faces like raindrops on a heated prairie in a romance that had been hot enough to melt the Sahara. Those who thought they knew her thought she had been romanced by the Black Panther in those years, but whereas he had tried, he had not been the one to win her heart. This beauty before her, however, had, and now she couldn't believe the truths that were being revealed.
"That's right, Windrider." Mystique smiled. Her yellow eyes glowed from the face Ororo had loved. She slowly reverted back to her own image. "No one else knew. It was me."
Leaping from darkness, Callisto dug a knife into the heart of the woman with whom Ororo had shared such a passionate affair. Ororo stood, confused, as her greatest enemy savagely battled the one with whom she'd shared a love she'd thought would stay hidden forever, the same one who'd taken her man from her. She'd almost come to think of it as a dream that had happened between two desert hearts.
Now, she did feel as though she was dreaming as Callisto, triumphant, returned to her side. "Let me show you how a real woman does it, Windrider." She grinned as she loomed over her, but before she could kiss her, the sky split with lightning and Storm flew away.
The End
