Scarlett Fire.
Chapter 2 - A job harder to accomplish.
The 'cure' apparently didn't last for forever. All powers came back after a few months. Marie came back to the mansion as Rogue, having no where to go. Magneto went missing and it scared a lot of people including mutants. They think he is planning something big. Something really big to get back to all the people that made him loose all his control over everyone.
John Allerdyce aka Pyro also came back. He changed a lot. Or so he and everyone else thinks. Can a girl, her mind twisted and bloodied by her past set him off again. And on which side will she eventually be on? How dangerous is Scarlett aka Aimee Rogue?
''What kind of hell hole is this?'' John whispered to Bobby as they walked through the tunnel after the girl. Bobby elbowed him hard, but the girl whipped around and glared at them.
''This hell hole.'' She spat. ''Is a base for mutants to stay whilst they are running or looking for a home when theirs is destroyed or they aren't welcome anymore by the scum that calls themselves humans.''
''Oh oh.'' Ororo softly said to Logan. The boy with green hair who had been walking in front of them gave them a glance over his shoulder.
''Come in here and take a seat.'' The girl said and flipped her dark hair over her shoulder. She walked over to a desk and sat down behind in in a dark chair that had shadow swirling around the edges. ''Now tell me. Who are you?'' She asked and leaned forwards on her leather clad elbows. It was only then that her 'guests' noticed what she was wearing. Despite the warm weather outside, her body was fully covered. Dark jeans, sneakers, leather coat. Sunglasses only no gloves.
''My name is Ororo Munroe. Also known as Storm. I am the headmistress and a teacher at Xavier's school for the gifted. It is a school where mutants can stay and learn to control their powers. These are three of our students and two fellow teachers.'' Ororo introduced herself and the others.
''I am Logan, also known as-''
''Wolverine.'' A dark boy at the back said suddenly. ''I know you. I've seen you fight. A long time ago.''
Logan nodded. ''Yes. I used to do cage fighting.'' He said nodding slowly.
''I'm Bobby Drake.'' A light brown haired boy started boldly. After all the girl behind the desk was probably even younger then him. ''Or Iceman.'' He smirked, but it got wiped off his face when the girl just looked at him coldly. '"This is.. Rogue.'' He stammered and fell quiet.
''It seems Sky knows you.'' The girl behind the desk said smiling. ''I've heard some things about you. Is it true that you drain powers when you touch someone?''
Rouge glanced at Logan shortly. ''Yeah.. Kinda.'' She said with a painful look in her eyes.
''That sucks. I know what you're going through, by the way, Speed. Oh shit.'' She cursed and quickly pulled her hands away from the desk she just rested them on.
''Can you get me a pair of my leather gloves before I wreck everything. I lost mine.'' The girl said and waved her bare hands at one of the dark boys. John gaped at the melted wood in awe.
''Tut tut, Scarly.'' The dark boy grinned at her and vanished.
''Where did he go!'' Bobby exclaimed.
''Speed. His nickname. I think that tells you his power.'' The girl said dryly. She then turned to John with an excited glint in her eyes. ''Who are you.'' She asked him.
''John Allerdyce.'' John smirked and clicked his Zippo again.
''Here dah'ling.'' The dark boy reappeared again and put a pair of gloves on the desk. He moved back to the door to stand with the other two boys.
''Thanks.'' The girl answered and quickly pulled them on. ''Right. Now I know all of you. I'll introduce myself and my friends. I am Scarlett. Known to the human world as Aimee Rogue. Funny isn't it, Rogue. We share a name and the disability to touch with bare skin.'' The girl said and gave her a crooked grin. ''The men at the back are Puppet, or known as Hugh. Explain your powers to them Pup.'' Scarlett smirked at the guy on the right.
''I control non-living objects. Objects that have never been alive. For example, my favourite, puppets.'' Puppet said in his deep voice. ''These are my brothers.''
''They're triplets. Fascinating isn't it.'' Scarlett said in awe. She had a childish way of saying things, what made her cute, but the way she spoke made people afraid. She had a venomous voice and a deadly look in her eyes.
''I'm James, or better known as Speed. So naturally my power is speed.'' The guy in the middle grinned lopsided.
''And I'm Raphael, known as Q. I have the power of sound. I can control the volume of sounds in the air. Send out deathly sonic waves, etcetera, etcetera.'' The guy on the left said with his arms still folded and not moving.
''Now on to Lisa.'' Scarlett smiled. A lethal look in her eyes again.
''My name is Sky, I have the control over air.'' A blond girl said bubbly. ''These are my younger sisters, Anne and Anna. They are twins and are super strong.'' She pointed at the two young girls.
''And we're thirteen. Not younger, not older.'' The girls piped in at the same time. They looked exactly the same and sounded exactly the same. It was almost scary.
''I'm Jeffery, call me Florin or my plants will strangle you to death.'' The green haired boy winked at Rogue from his position on the desk. ''My power is the earth.'' He curled one finger up and green vines came shooting from up under the ground.
The door suddenly banged open and the black haired boy came striding in looking absolutely furious. He stormed up to the desk and slammed his hands on it. Scarlett had changed position and had her legs crossed and feet lounging on the desk.
''Are you fucking insane.'' He seethed in a low tone. ''You killed another man.''
Scarlett looked at him from under her eyelashes.
''He deserved it.'' She replied icily.
''What did he do then.'' The boy snarled. ''Look at you? Talk to you? Ask you something?''
''It's more the fact he breathed.'' Scarlett retorted. ''All scum.'' She added under her breath.
''Humans are not scum.'' The guy exclaimed, his voice getting louder. ''They are just normal people, like you and me! Why can't you fucking realise that!''
''I'll realise it when they are all dead, mutants are at their rightful place in the top and it's too late.'' Scarlett replied coldly. The guy threw his hands in the air in despair.
''I don't know what to do with you anymore, Aimee! One of these day's you'll go too far. Just wait and see.'' He spat and turned on his heel to march out of the room. It was quiet for a moment and then Scarlett burst out in laughter.
''Right. So our drama queen was Jamie. No one knows for sure what his power is, but it's probably, 'save human kind'.'' She said in a childish voice. Ororo, Logan, Bobby and Rogue stared at her in disbelieve. John shuffled his feet awkwardly, not looking at anyone.
''This is going to be harder then we thought.'' Ororo murmured to Logan.
A/N
Yeah, Storm and Wolverine. Maybe this girl will be trouble after all.
Don't doubt it. Gehe.
