Hellish
Chapter One – The Devil To Pay
They lied when they said it was over. Magneto's war was just the start. They just have no idea what's coming. This is the beginning of our revolution.
Alone I sit watching each disgusting human walk by. Each one oblivious to the fact the girl they are so carelessly ignoring could incinerate them all with a snap of her fingers. Although thats not what I came here to do. I'm patiently waiting for the precise moment when I can finally claim my revenge.
Eventually I rise from the simple park bench and saunter to the chess tables.
"Hello Erik," I greet the old man.
"Come to accompany me, my dear," he replies staring at the untouched pieces.
"Not necessarily." I move the first piece.
Erik points a finger at a pawn and waits, slowly it moves a space.
"Having trouble old man."
He smirks and looks up to meet my gaze.
"The man you are searching for is at the mansion."
"They would never let me in."
"Don't be so certain my dear."
"Welcome to Mutant High," stated Kitty as she flopped down on her bed.
"Thanks," I replied before rolling over so my back was facing her.
After an hour or so of reading Kitty put her book down on the nightstand and shut off the lamp. Once she was soundly asleep I quietly made my way out of the room.
Unfortunately I wasn't even close to the elevator when I bumped into someone.
"Oh Hey Jane, what are you doing up so late, you know it's against the rules to be out of your room at this time, right?" asked an annoyingly familiar voice.
"Oh Hey Bobby, sorry I was just hungry, I didn't mean to be any trouble."
"It's all right how about I escort you down to the kitchen," Bobby smiled.
Oh how much I wanted to just punch him in the face.
"Alright, that sounds nice," I forced the smile onto my lips using all the effort I could possibly find.
After an hour of casual chit chat from Bobby and fake enjoyment from my side of the counter I started to question my sanity.
"Hey Bobby."
"Yes Jane?" he asked.
"Thank you," I replied sincerely, only he some how missed the cynical look that I know twinkled in my eyes.
I walked around to his side of the counter and gave him a gentle hug. In one swift motion I slammed his head into the counter top and ran out of the kitchen.
Upon reaching the basement I sprinted down the corridor and into the medical wing.
Nothing.
Quickly I turned around and came face to face with the chamber door, focusing I summoned my power. The door melted and inside sat my prize.
"About time," came his signature sarcasm.
"Hurry up, Pyro."
"So, Mystique how did you do that little trick with the door?"
"Wouldn't you like to know?"
We made our way to the garage as quickly and as quietly as we could. Just as we entered the whole X-team came after us. I hopped on to the nearest motorcycle. Pyro got on behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. Hitting the gas we sped out of the mansion within seconds.
Pyro followed as I entered the bases main room and collapsed into the closest armchair.
"Bravo," clapped Magneto as he entered the room, Mystique trailing him.
"What the fuck?" Pyro yelled his eyes growing wide at the sight of Mystique.
"Is something wrong?" she asked with a grin.
"If your ... then ... who is she?" he questioned pointing at me.
His only reply a smirk that danced upon my lips and the flames in my eyes.
