Pyro walked down the cold, empty, trashed, shiny metal and concrete hallways of Magneto's base. After the incident at Alcatraz, the Brotherhood slowly began to fall under the lack of leadership. He decided it was about time that he stepped up into charge. Flanked by The Juggernaut, they both patrolled down the hallways.
Down the way, a fight between Jubilee and Spike broke out. Jubilee, with her short black and purple hair, lent forward and held her hands out ready. Spike, had his long spikes out armouring his arms, dug his feet into the ground and launched forward with an almost inhumanly speed. Jubilee, as cocky as she is, tilted her head to the side, lightly licked her bottom lip, and lashed her hands together and forward.
Her hands clapped together with a supersonic boom, but the soundwaves were only aimed at one person and left everyone else. The waves beamed forward and knocked the blurred Spike to the end of the hallway.
Pyro slightly flinched as he heard the crack of Spike as he fell down the hallway. He narrowed his eyes as he saw his chance and ignited his firestarter.
He held a small ball of fire in his palm. "What did I say about fighting amongst ourselves!" The veins in Pyro's neck were popping out with his rage. He tried to keep his voice even but it broke out into a barking yell of command.
Before Jubilee could even think of a comeback, Pyro sent a wall of fire to stop the fight. Spike lost his footing as he skidded to a stop and fell flat out onto his back with another loud crack of his spiny needles. Jubilee, still in her rage, turned sharply to Pyro.
"You idiot! I had him!" She yelled.
Pyro ignored her as the endless flames kept on pouring out of his palms. He was smiling almost like he was in pain as he did. Smiling with anger. Pyro pushed his hands out forward with a lunge and the fire wall thickened. Jubilee's eyes widened as she straightened up from her clapped position to see the full view of the wall. Both her and the Spike stumbled backwards in separate directions.
"Bout time that people learn who's now in charge!" Pyro yelled back over the deafening roar of the flames. "Don't ya think?"
The heat began to amplify in the underground base. The heat could be felt all through the base. Sweat began to pour down Pyro's face.
Juggernaut glanced at Pyro. "Oi" He tried to get his attention. "Boss, their 'er backing off," Pyro just kept on widening the flames. His eyes reflected the red. The red roaring blaze that everybody fears, human and mutant alike. The flickering flames enthralled him, it captured him, it was a new type of ecstasy. "Pyro!" He yelled louder than ever.
Pyro snapped out of the trance. He dropped both of his arms to his sides. The moment was lost. He remembered what was happening, where he was, who he is. That trance that only glimpse of happiness, taken away from him. His energy seemed drained.
Pyro walked into the middle of the hallway in between the two. He shook his head, trying to gain focus. "We have to work together, got that? If we fight," he sighed, "right? It will get us nowhere."
"Whatever," Jubilee gave a short flick of her hair to the side, then she walked back down the hallway.
Spike sized Jubilee up by looking her up and down as she left. He shrugged and rolled his eyes. He began to walk down the hallway but stopped inline and shoulder-to-shoulder with Pyro. "You're lookin' a bit pale there," he continued walking before he spat, "Boss," he laughed silently to himself then his spikes sunk back into his skin.
Pyro rubbed his temples, Juggernaut plodded up to his side. "You, err.. right, 'er there, pumpkin?" he said in his causal thick English accent, smiling like the idiot he is.
"I'm Fine." Pyro said through his teeth.
He was lying.
He was literally lying through his teeth.
A/N
I know it's a bit short, it's just a summery chapter really. Sort of showing where the story is going at this point. I'm going to be introducing a few little characters, different points of view ( [POV] at the moment it's Pyro, course), and, yes the X-men will be in this one in the next chapter or two
Review, review, please tell me how I'm doing, maybe where this should go if you want
