The P.O.V will by our new mutant Sarah Frost/Tenshi... requested by my friend Dan! (blame him if this sucks!)
Dedicated to all the ones who reviewed the last chapter (not bothered in typin all their names ;P) and my deceased friend, in who's image Sarah Frost was created. Miss ya...
(Music: Evanescence – My Immortal... throughout the whole chapter)
The soft angelic figure rose from her bed gracefully, pulling a silky robe over her pale petite figure as she walked over to the windows. She opened the curtains to reveal the green landscape of the Xavier institute. The sun was lazily rising above the tree tops, creating a soft glow along the horizon.
God it's beautiful… hopefully we can stay...
"Tenshi… you alright?" a soft voice called from the shadows lurking in her room.
"Yeah… just wish she were here already…" the angel breathed softly, with a hint of sorrow tainting her voice.
"She'll be here…" the voice spoke to her, this time closer.
"I know, Fumetsu… it's just… I miss having her around…"
"Me too…" the dark-haired guy spoke from next to her, still staying to the shadows.
"The undefeatable… unstoppable… untouchable… Akuma…" she spoke with bitterness, to no one in particular, as she looked at the rising sun.
"You know that's what they call her now?" Sarah sighed turning to her friend, a small icicle-like tear running down her cheek.
"She's built quite a reputation… especially on our side of the world" the dark-haired teen laughed lightly, shaking his head.
At those last words, the girl turned away.
"You're going to have to get used to what we are… why we're here…" he spoke, serious.
"It's just that… it makes us sound so cold… heartless… evil" she whispered, another tear falling from her heavenly eyes.
A silence fell in between the two… the fair angel in the light… and the dark devil in the shadows.
"So… who are you sharing rooms with?" Sarah asked, trying to sound light-hearted.
"The blue little teleporting fuzz-ball… Kurt" Vlad responded, grinning.
"Is he nice?"
"Yeah… they're all nice…"
"Do you think they will be… once they find out what we are…?"
Silence.
She turned to look at her comrade.
"Do you think Kurt will be nice, once he finds out who you are…what you are…?" she asked, in a meaningful tone.
Vlad drew an unnecessarily deep breathe, before grinning, showing off his gleaming white teeth "We'll just have to see won't we… Now, you should get dressed. Go get breakfast."
And before she knew it, he had disappeared into the shadows and gone.
(Proper Sarah/Tenshi P.O.V)
After breakfast, which I hardly ate, everyone was called to the Danger Room. One of the students offered to help me there, since I was new and all. She had long red hair and green eyes, and was about a head taller than me. I didn't catch her name though… and plainly wasn't bothered in asking. We were about the same age, but she seemed… kind of naïve… too happy. She was always blabbering on about how great the teachers were and how she hoped Vlad and I would like it here.
Once we got to the Danger Room, she became all blushing and flustered when she saw the nerd-guy with the shades… Scott I think his name was. How obvious...
As all the Junior X-men trained with the lead of "Shades" and "Red", Vlad and I stayed in the control room with one of the Senior X-Men (I think his name was Logan) watching. We criticized practically their every move. They hadn't had the same training as us, but seriously… that's all they have got?!
After about an hour, the X-Men came to the control room, all of them looking like they could just fall over and die. I shook my head ever so slightly, but Vlad picked it up.
Give them a chance…
I can't believe we have to work with these… these… rookies, for lack of a better term!
You know we have to, at least until Akuma gets here…
Yeah I know…
But our telepathical conversation was interrupted as Professor X spoke to me in particular… like he knew I hadn't been paying attention… well since he's telepathic… I wouldn't put that past him…
"Sarah, since I know how advanced you and Vlad are… do you want to do the run separately?" he asked, smiling knowingly.
All the students' jaws dropped. Even the dork and his groupie thought we couldn't handle it. Like they thought we'd die. Only "the Wolverine" as they called him, seemed to have the least bit of faith in us… probably knowing that the Prof had an ace up his sleeve.
Make that two…
I sneaked a look at Vlad's smug grin.
"Sure… what was their time on that run? That was a level 3 right?" I grinned subtly.
"Advanced level 3… all weaponry loaded… safety on… took us exactly one hour to take down" the dork with the shades panted slightly.
I cocked my eyebrow, before turning to Logan at the monitors.
"Turn the safety off… make's it more fun" I smiled to him as I got up and went to the door.
At the door I turned to Vlad and grinned "Fifteen minutes tops…"
"At least seventeen…"
"50 bucks and a drink?"
"Deal" he grinned.
I smirked at him and walked out of the control room.
After a few minutes I was in the metallic arena they called "Danger" Room, wearing my uniform. It was a white form-fitting leotard, with wide a v-neck and no sleeves, a very pale blue ice-skating mini-skirt and a pair of white mid-thigh boots. I had pulled my hair up into a messy bun.
I walked to the very center of the stadium and looked up at the others.
"Ready when you are…"
I looked around myself to see the whole nine yards of weaponry point directly at me, ready to fire.
"Can they make this any easier…?" I grinned.
Before a single ray or bullet could hit me, I had created an ice cover around me. Wasting no time in admiring my flawless work, I touched the soles of my boots, creating skating blades on them. Within seconds I was spinning around my axis on my blades inside the envelop of coolness. A current of cold air started to spin with me.
Faster and faster… the current got stronger and stronger.
Deciding to go easy on that obviously expensive machinery, in seconds I created ice-wings to my back and flying burst out… also letting the arctic cold out.
The weaponry froze in the blink of an eye.
As I landed I disintegrated my wings to a pile of snow on the floor. I looked up at the stunned crowd at the control room and smugly, took a bow like professional ice-skaters did.
As I entered the control room again, drying my drenched hair I could see the amazement in almost everyone's looks. But instead of facing them, I turned to Vlad and asked "Owe me?"
He gave me his usual death glare, he was a very bad loser, and growled like the animal he was "I'll pay you later"
I smiled as I went and sat next to him and for once acted like the child I had never been "Awwww… is lil Fangs angwy wit' me?"
He turned to look at my puppy-dog-eyes-look and his fatal glower softened. He shook his head as he wrapped one of his cold arms around my shoulders.
"Na…"
I watched as he went through the same thing. He was amazing. Just as the guns were loading, he confidently just pulled off his coat and shirt. The second the guns started to fire, he turned to his hellish true-self. His canines got longer. His muscles became more defined. His eyes turned blood-red.
A couple of the girls screamed as they saw his true face. I was unfazed. I had seen him like this before. Sometimes he lost control of the hellion within him…
I could remember the last time very clearly.
As a vampire, losing control can be lethal for the people around you. I should know this better than anyone… but yet I'm not afraid of him… or what he could do to me…
As I snapped back to reality, realizing I had been stroking my bare neck with my hand, he had already disabled almost all of the machines set out to stop him. He was too fast for them. That was a plus-side to his mutation. He had speed beyond anyone's dreams. You could hardly see him as he sped across the room to disarm the attacking weaponry.
And the next second, he was done.
When he came back, with his shirt and coat held with his right arm over his shoulder and a towel over his neck, and an incredibly arrogant look on his face he smirked at me "That was exactly three minutes, right? Pay up, Tenshi..."
Damned vamp…
(Back to the weird not completely Sarah/Tenshi P.O.V)
Late that night, they were all called to the entrance hall again. Practically all the students or former-students arrived yawning and in their pajamas. Even the teachers came in their night-wear.
There was only three, apart from the angel and the vampire that came in relatively normal clothes. They looked like they had come from an extra danger room session, still in their uniforms. A dark-haired girl with metallic claws, a girl with chestnut hair with white streaks framing her face and an auburn-haired man with… wait… that can't be…
Before she could even begin to ask the black-eyed devil next to her, the Professor called for attention.
"I would ask you all to welcome Colonel Nick Fury and his team" he greeted, pointing out with his hand the stern uniformed man next to him with a non-pirate-looking eye-patch and grey hair.
At that, everyone looked around themselves, finally waking up to see the hall swarming with soldiers. On the balconies, standing along every wall, and at every door and window… blocking any escape routes.
At the dead center of the hall, were four men standing before a metallic tube. The professor, the colonel, some captain and…
"Tanaka-san!" Sarah smiled, as the old Japanese mentor walked over to his two protégés.
"How are my two least favorite students?" he said with a hint of affection, as he gave the both of them a light hug. He hardly ever showed his true feelings, so this was a dramatic change.
"Never mind that, san… Is that who I think it is?" the angel asked impatiently, pointing out the large metal tube behind the now three men in the center of the room.
He smiled softly.
"Hai…"
Charles Xavier once again called for attention, before continuing, "Well, I feel that I have to explain the situation… that I have to explain myself"
He took a deep breathe.
"I have, I'm not sure if "hired" is the right word, three mercenaries into our ranks… one of which inhabits the inside of this prison. The other two you already know, Sarah Frost and Vlad Taras…" he spoke pointing out the two personal soldiers.
No need to hold back now is there…?
No cover… no holding back…
Vlad grinned.
This is going to be fun… especially once Akuma is out…
"The reason is because, as some of you already know, I have seen a glimpse of what the future has in store for us and mutants in general… and we need to be prepared…" the professor continued.
Everyone stayed in silence, looking from the professor to the two mutants and finally to the top-security prison holding back the third.
"These three mercenaries are stronger than your average mutant. They have been trained to be invincible and invulnerable. Perfect soldiers. And as you have already witnessed, they are impressive." Xavier concluded.
Colonel Fury nodded at one of the soldiers, who pressed a button to open the jail of the locked up mutant.
With a fleeting look, Sarah looked at the auburn-haired man on the other side of the entrance hall. He was taking out a cigarette and placing it to his lips.
Remy… how are you going to react to seeing her after all these years?
Sneak-peak of next chapter: Queen of Diamonds
"Rem… mate… ya alrigh'?" John asked, worried for his long-time friend.
"Ange?" he asked, in a croaky voice and thick Cajun accent… full of hope, yet afraid he'd wake up to find it's all a dream… his demonic eyes meeting hers.
San – meaning "master" in Japanese
Hai – meaning "yes" in Japanese
So here's the newest chapter (and a sneak-peek for the impatient ones :P)
