Continued. Sorry it has taken so long AILNIL.
She was hearing the steady beep of a lorry reversing and she couldn't understand why she could hear it. It took a moment for her to realise it wasn't a lorry reversing it was a heart rate monitor. She lay still not daring tom open her eyes and find herself in some shitty laboratory about to be mind fucked or dissected, no she had seen enough movies to feign sleep and pounce at the last minute, maybe escape, or kill a few scientist shits on the way out. She had a desperately dry mouth and wanted to cough and open her eyes just a slit to see her surroundings but first she concentrated on the beep sound ,keeping it steady incase she was being monitored. She took steady breaths through her nose and very slowly opened one eye. Glaring white walls burned her eyes so she snapped them shut. forcing herself to try again she opened her eyes and this time the glaring light was less than before, more manageable as it was less of a shock, she looked around the small room, eyes darting from door to observation window to the monitors all stuck to her via weird little wires and tubes. She was human again. Shit shit shit,very human and very naked. Hearing no sounds from around the room she sat upright and proceeded to yank all the wires and tubes from her body, throwing them down and swinging her legs around the gurney table and onto the floor. It was clean and it was cold and made her shiver and she was about to transform into her dragon form to end the nakedness and shivers when she noticed a pair of white pants, socks and grey joggers and top all folded on a table. She snatched them up and threw them on, not really wanting to transform just incase anyone was watching, not to mention there wouldn't be much room in this tiny room if she did change, it would be a tight squish. The last thing she remembered was a lady who's voice was in her head promising to take her to safety, and a blue monster…who had shot her with a dart! In all the time she had fought with authorities, a bullet, blade nor dart, not one had pierced the scales of armour, how had this blue thing done that too her? She was angry. She proceeded to stalk around the room and peering through a window she found herself to be in an isolation ward room, she rounded on a door and to her complete surprise it was open. She opened it with care and peeked around the adjoining room which had no light on and was completely bare except for another door which had light showing beneath the frame. She looked around for cameras and her ears listened for any noise of approaching guards. When she was sure there was nothing. She was ready to change form at any second and let shit rip but kept herself together, taking deep silent breaths and opening the next door.
The corridor was long wooden well lit and silent. It smelled of old wood and polish and something she couldn't put her finger on, but she knew she new it. A window lay ahead of her, large and opening onto the outside sky, she could see the tops of trees so she knew she was up high, at least 2nd storey, easy to smash through and escape, she ran along the corridor and was about to transform when the view from the window stopped her.
Kids down below all seemingly playing but not with toys, or things but with…one boy was throwing around fire like a tennis ball, another boy was throwing ice darts, a girls was parting water in a pool and several others were screaming and laughing in mock terror. And older girl was sitting on top of the very highest branch of a tree and reading, she had a tail like a cat, another boy was sneaking up on her and as he went to pounce she went poof and disappeared. Others were running around a football/tennis court having a great game of some kind and some just watched, not left out or not picked just seemingly content to watch.
Standing at the window she was mesmerized at the sight of so many mutant children, just playing and laughing and having fun, she smiled and as she did a hand came down on her shoulder..
She whipped around and as she did she transformed, the clothes burst off, huge wings grew from her shoulders,her tail smashed through the window and she heard the screams of the children from below she grabbed the man who had touched her shoulders and proceeded to roar in his face and snap her teeth. He punched her hard and although her head moved it didn't hurt, here stood the blue monster man. She would kill him before he killed her, she lunged and went to break his head with her mouth, she would crunch him up, messy but effective. As she did ,he fell back and kicked her hard in the stomach, that hurt slightly but not enough to stop her attack, she would kill this one. He sort of half scrambled half jumped back along the corridor with great agility, all the time shouting at her. She stopped just before he went to round a corner as she didn't know where it led and she didn't want to end up lost in a maze of corridors. She turned and headed back for the smashed window and to freedom, her claws raked the floor and she had to fold her wings right up tight just to fit .
As she reached the windows edge she looked down and saw the children all had disappeared and she hoped no glass had cut any of them, just on the peak of leaping she heard and smelled another man. Cigar smoke, musky body odour and it froze her in her tracks.
She couldn't move, didn't want to move she was entranced by the male scent and wondered where it had suddenly wafted from. She took a deep inhale and pinpointed that it came from below, near the playground that had been filled with so many joyful children only moments before. She launched from the window but only enough to glide to the ground below, which she did with ease, she folded her wings and stalked forward towards what she thought resembled a large garage door. Built directly into the wall. She looked up at the building. It was in fact an ivy covered mansion, beautiful architecture surrounded by acres of assumed private ground. There were many smells down here. Other children,grass,trees,chlorine from a pool which was out of sight but scentedly visible to her dragon senses. Gasoline and rubber indicating vehicles somewhere, most likely in this garage, she shook her head to clear it and breathed deep, there was that musky smell again, it was truly alluring and she wanted for some reason to know who this scent belonged too. She had forgotten that blue monster, and instinct pulled forward. With great ease she knew she would be able to lift the garage door but instead it dawned on her to look for a switch, she found one straight away and pushed it using her huge dragon claws. Instantly the door began to rise with a whirr go cogs and groan of metal. She took a slight step back and as the door came up she was confronted with 4 people. One man, in a wheelchair and bald wearing a suit and with such a calm expression. One she had not seen when people looked at her in her dragon form, one woman slightly behind the man in the wheelchair, long auburn hair, in a dress and with her hand on the wheelchair mans shoulder, she visibly took a breath but did not move. One man built like a soldier on the other side of the bald man, he wore red sunglasses and casual clothes, she couldn't see his eyes but saw his mouth make a small O shape and the last man. The smell was his. He stood in dirty jeans, white tight t-shirt and leather jacket smoking the stub of a cigar. His hair was black, and messy. He had dog tags, fucking military! She would kill him first, his eyes met hers and he too looked shocked he merely stated calmly
"well fuck me sideways aint we gone all game of fucking thrones today proffesor" and he looked at the bald man who hadn't taken his eyes from her.
She snarled and was disappointed that his scent was military, it would be a shame to kill someone who smelt ridiculously good. why he did she didn't know, didn't care really she was just sad. Military killed all the people she had ever loved, and now here another stood making shitty comments about her form. She snarled at him and just as she went to take a step a voice in her head again.
Please don't be angry, we mean you no harm. Please let me introduce am professor xaviour this is my school for gifted youngsters, you are safe here, please this is jean grey, she helped save you, this man is psyclops,one of my best students and closest friends and this man who seems to have angered you in some yet unknown way is Logan.
He gestured to each person in turn yet his voice was in her head, she had made it, she was safe, with that final thought she realised she must kill Logan, he was military and military was not to be trusted!
