~Chapter One~

Amara drowsily woke up to the sound of her hotel's cheap alarm clock going off. She turned to glare at it as she shut it off.

It had been two weeks since she had left the institute. Surprisingly, no one at the Institute had come to look for her even though Cerebro could've easily picked up on her due to the fact that she was constantly using her powers.

She wasn't even that far away. Just on the outskirts of Bayville in one of the many dingy hotels located there. She silently trudged to the dank bathroom to take her routine shower. Everyday she did the same thing; wake up at eight o'clock in the morning, take a shower, get dressed, go out looking for a new hotel, and go to sleep.

She hated how she was living at the moment but found it better than her life at the Institute. She still treated people as if she was in Nova Roma. That's why she spent the majority of her day looking for a hotel, no one wanted to give a room to a snotty little teenager who thought she was better than you, even if she was indeed better than you.

She pulled her night shirt over her head and stepped out of her cotton shorts. She turned the knob on the shower and glared at it in dismay as it did nothing. Making a frustrated noise she put her shorts and shirt back on and stomped out of the hotel room.

She arrived in the hotel lobby, if you could call it that, and marched up to the front desk with an unimpressed look.

"Is there a problem, Miss?" the oily looking older looking man asked. "Yes you imbecile, there is!" she all but shouted. "My shower isn't working and I'd like to take one," she said in a commanding voice. The man glared at her and looked her over. "Well you look clean enough at the moment so I don't see the problem," he replied.

"You will have my shower fixed or else I demand a refund and I won't stop until I get it," she said in a regal voice. "Listen, Missy," the man ordered. "How old are you thirteen, fourteen?" he asked. "I'm 15 thank you very much," she answered in an annoyed voice. "Fifteen, huh?" he asked. "I don't need to take orders from a little girl," he said.

"You listen here, I'm a princess and you will do as I say!" she yelled. The man started to laugh insanely. "A princess, huh? What are you the princess of?" he asked in a mocking tone. "Nova Roma," she answered confidently. "Right and I'm the King of Canada," the man replied. "Canada doesn't have Kings or Queens you imbecile," she said with a disgusted look.

"Listen, toots, you're not getting your money back and I'm not fixing your shower so why don't you go back up to your room," the man said. "I demand my money back!" she said as she started to faintly glow. "H-hey, what's g- going on?" the man managed to stutter as she started to glow even brighter.

Suddenly someone came up from behind her and placed their hand on her arm. She felt the heat being sucked out of her and looked at her arm as it lost its glow. She gasped and turned around to come face to face with the very same God of Fire from the Danger Room simulation.

"It's you," she said with a look of disbelief on her beautiful features. The "God of Fire" raised a single eye brow at her exclamation.

"Hey, y-you, two are t-those mutant f-freaks, aren't y-you?" the man stuttered as he reached back to grip his rifle. She didn't even spare the man a glance as she put her hand out in his direction and sent a heat wave in that direction causing not only the gun to melt but the man to pass out.

"So Shelia, where's your room?" Pyro (come on, you knew it was him you big dorks!) asked while suggestively wagging his eyebrows at her. Amara blushed a deep crimson and looked away. "Only kiddin' ya, Mate," he said with a smiled. "Fourteen B," Amara offered. "Right-O, let's get you your stuff before Fatty over there wakes up," Pyro said as he dragged a dazed Amara behind him.

TBC..
