Disclaimer I sadly do not own X-men or the characters. Nor do I own Dragon Age and its awesome characters. But! I do own the Plot and my character Alexandria.

Review and tell me what you think :)

Looking at New York City at night was quite a sight… especial when you're around 2,000ft in the air. I let out a loud Whoop as I dived through the clouds.

"It's been a while since I've had time to do this," I thought to myself with a smile. I miss just flying; the feeling of the wind on my face, my slate-blue and black-spotted underside feathers rustling in the wind. Sadly I wished for a less complicated lifestyle. I was literally forced into the life I had now. A part of me still resents these powers. I thought back to when I was found…

"A-05 is awake," a man said from a distant.

I tried to open my eyes, but I found they were numb. I was starting to wonder whether or not I was in hell. I tried to move my fingers; they were all there. I then tried to move my arms; I felt a strange pull in my shoulder muscles. For some reason I felt like I was forgetting something important but I could place a finger on it.

"How much long-" suddenly yells and other loud noises could be heard but I simple pay this no mind. After a while that's when I noticed it…

Silence.

Then a clicking of a door opening.

It was then my eyes were open through the help of a rough but gentle hand. When my eyes finally adjusted they focused on a man.

He was tall and well built. His hair was dark and formed into two points at the top of his head. He wore what looked like a leather suit. When I looked into his eyes I could he had experienced more than his age let on.

I looked around and found I was in a room with glass walls. Through those walls, I could see people in either black or white suits riddled the wet red floor.

"Can you talk?" the man in the room asked suddenly.

"Yes," I said with a great effort.

"Good, then let's get out of here kid," said the man as he lifted me into his arms.

The top half of my body suddenly fell and I quickly grabbed on to the man's shoulders to keep from falling. I felt the pull again at my shoulders. I looked at the man to see different emotions play across his face. Sadness, Anger, Sympathy, and other emotions I couldn't read. He took a step forward and I somehow felt something brush the floor. I looked down and it all came back to me.

Being strapped down to a cold table, hands covered in rubber that would probe every inch of me, needles pierce my skin and fill me with horrible burning concoctions, and the unbelievable pain in my back and shoulders.

They had gotten what they wanted. Now sticking out of my shoulder were wings that were color black from the dried blood that caked them.

I gave an anguished cry and buried my face into the man's shoulder. He in turn tried to comfort me. I felt him bring my closer to him and tell me that he killed the bastards who did this to me.

I couldn't stop me myself form asking "Why? Why?"

"I don't know kid. I don't know." Was all the man said as we left my hellhole…

"Avis, report!"

I gave a startled cry as I was snapped out of my memory. I looked around trying to see who called me when I realized it was my communicator that Professor X called me on.

"Damn it! I thought I turned off my communicator!" I thought to myself as I gave a quiet whine. I quickly looked for a nearby building to land on and luckily it was the Empire State building where my stuff was already.

"What's the problem Professor?" I said to my necklace like communicator.

"Cerebro is picking up something in Time Square. I can't tell exactly what it is. But since you're the closest I want you to check it out."

I have a slightly annoyed sigh as I ran a hand through my mid-shoulder length blond hair. "Of course professor, I'm on it."

"Thank you Alexandria. I do appreciate this. Logan and the others will arrive in 10 minutes." And that ended the conversation.

I quickly grabbed my things and headed to Time Square. I wanted to get this over as quick as possible.

~quick time lapse~

I was thankful for a flexible skeletal structure. My 17 foot wingspan was able to press to my back with only the slightest bulge visible. Putting my trench coat on as I walked out of an alleyway I made my way to the center of Time Square trying to find anything out of the ordinary.

And oh boy did I find it. I felt the wind pick up suddenly behind me. My dark green eyes widen as I turned to see what appeared to be a black hole of some kind and all hell broke loose.

I started to back up when black tentacles came screeching out of the vortex and wrapped around me. I quickly transformed my hands into bird talons and slashed the tentacles. I jumped back only to have more come after me. I quickly used my Sonic Scream to only have no effect. After slashing and clawing for what felt like forever I heard someone call my name.

"AVIS!"

My one mistake was looking. I was soon completely wrapped in the tentacles and being pulled towards the vortex.

The last thing I saw before I was plunged into darkness was the man who became a father to me and teammates running towards me in desperation.

"ALEXANDRIA!"
