Lorna flew without an idea of where she was going, not that she much cared. She just needed to escape her sister. Lorna was going to stay in Genosha, of course. She was much too scared to attempt to leave, but Wanda didn't know that.
She looked around and expected to be scared out of her mind as she had always been afraid of heights, but found she wasn't. It was actually quite beautiful and having complete control of her flying left her loving the air. Lorna spread her arms out and reached for the heavens, laughing as loud as she could.
That's when trouble struck.
Lorna had never used that much power before, and it seemed to come with a cost. Her vision went black and she began to fall. Her last thought before going under the black blanket of unconsciousness was hoping she falls on her sister's head.
Alex Summers looked up in the sun he loved so much and took a deep breath. Summer was his favorite time of the year, a sentiment shared with more than one person across the planet, and his love had nothing to do with the irony of the correspondence with his last name.
His skin was taking in as much vitamin D as it could possibly hold as Alex sat in pure bliss. He would have remained in that position the rest of the day had he not seen someone falling. Instinct kicked in and he ran toward the falling object. It was easy to tell it was a person, but not so easy to tell anything else, as if it mattered. At that point, all that mattered was life and the lack of which would happen if he failed.
He jumped up onto a ledge and ran with all of the speed and strength he could muster. When Alex got to the edge, he jumped with everything he had with his arms outstretched, hoping that he or she would just fall right in.
She did. When he landed back on the ground, the first thing he realized was that this was Magneto's princess that he had kept locked inside of his tin castle all this time. The second thing he noticed was how remarkably pretty she was for someone coming for genetics of Magneto's.
She was twitching around like she was having a seisure and that scared him. The entire island knew that if anything happened to Lorna, they would all pay, him especially for having found her.
A couple people were stopping to look, so he did the only thing he could think to do...
"HEEEEELP!"
I apologize for the long wait on updates. As you can probably tell by the description of this story if you've looked before reading today that this story is now on hiatus. I have too many stories in the works and too much work concerning my education to worry about this one. I promise it will get done, but I need to worry about a few others before working on Lorna and Alex's story.
I apologize again for the fact that this is short, but it's been sitting on a few index cards on my desk for a couple of weeks and I just couldn't think of anything else to add to this section of the story. The next one will be longer as Lorna and Alex get to formally meet each other.
As always, thank you for the support and assumed understanding.
