The eye of the Storm
Storm crept soundlessly around the wall of ice.
Her hands were freezing and her toes were numb. It annoyed her that even her powers could not help her in such insane conditions. Moreover she was annoyed at the whole situation she had gotten herself into.
Antarctica?! Who EVER had a godforsaken mission in Antarctica?
Storm instantly dropped into a crouch as she saw magneto and toad slowly approach the lab. Now was not the time to attack.
"oi! Magneto, help me find door. I don't think I can feel my tongue anymore." toad called holding his tongue. He scooted around the front of the lab, searching for an entrance of any kind.
"And why would I want to do that?"
Magneto smirked as he flicked his hand causing an entire wall of the lifeless lab to crumple like paper.
"Show off." Toad murmured.
"I heard that."
Toad swore as he silently followed magneto inside lab xero.
Storm smiled as she got up and brushed the ice off herself. Well if nothing, magneto sure had style.
She followed magneto and toad into the lab. Her movements were fluid and graceful, almost like the wind itself. She pushed her long hair behind her shoulder as she collected her thoughts. Toad was not going to be a problem. But why hadn't the others already dealt with him?
Her muscles tensed as she reached the final bend of the hallway. Leaning over, she could see toad and Magneto was nowhere in sight.
Perfect.
The energy in her mutant blood began to rise. She walked around the final bend, ready to fry toad with her thunderbolt. After all he was feeling cold wasn't he? I'll be doing him a favor. Blue light flashed across the room causing the walls to scream in pain due to her lightening blast. Confused, she immediately spun around looking for toad.
"Gotcha!"
Toad sprang forward and punched storm in the face. The cold caused the hit to send waves of pain through her brain. Although her recovery was slow, toad was slower. His tongue was not the only part of his body that was frozen. Storm's pupils vanished as she caused the wind to send toad flying out the walls of the already rundown lab.
She was about to leave as she suddenly stopped and turned around once again to face toad, who was buried under layers of snow. After two minutes of thinking her arms lashed out as she sent a mini avalanche raging over him.
You can never be too sure.
Storm sighed as she continued further into the lab. The dark atmosphere of the lonely lab was not helping her mood. She cautiously walked into the recording room of lab Xero. Emotions could be a real problem on missions. Her heart melted as she thought about Magneto. He had charm, style, and attitude, power everything she had ever wanted in a man. She had never told him, hoping the crush would pass. But every moment it just grew stronger. Their relationship was known and unknown at the same time. They were obviously more than just good friends. Instinctively her eyes fell to the ground as she remembered how much she had cried the night he left. He had left without saying goodbye. This is why she had jumped at the mission. Magneto was going to pay. He was going to pay for breaking her heart.
Storm's frown deepened as her thoughts were interrupted. She sensed movement behind her, but her heart was making it impossible for her to turn around.
"Hello Ororo."
