Imagination is a Powerful Weapon…For a Mutant

Alyssa: Well cause of the few reviews I got I will continue. Don't own X men the movie or otherwise. Though I do own the persona of Enigma.

Oh and Aurora is Ororu, Aurora looks better.

Chapter 4 – An Angel?

'An angel? Am I really an angel? She said so. But I am evil…or aren't I? Surely an angel could not take life? She speaks true but her perspective may be warped. What am I? Why am I? Perhaps in time…'

Enigma opened her eyes and saw the waterfall rushing and the unicorn grazing and all she could do was watch when blood rained from the skies. The unicorn drowned and the waterfall stopped flowing. Blood dripped down her face and she licked it off.

'I don't deserve such a haven, I don't deserve anyone or anything…but they don't deserve such sorrow. I will pretend…the fools they are, they will not be able to tell the difference between the new and the old me. Pathetic.'

Enigma grinned as the trees burnt and the unicorn disappeared.

'Child like fantasies have no place in the real world.'

Enigma left her haven and opened her real eyes. The world was dark and she placed her legs over the side of the bed and stood up.

She looked around at the sleeping figures and smiled, not a happy smile, a smile for no other reason than the desire to pretend.

She walked out and saw Shadow sneaking up to her.

'Shadow will know.'

The black cat froze seeing her figure and hissed.

Enigma had to get rid of her and decided to send her far away, to Australia.

Enigma seemed pleased and teleported herself onto the rooftop to watch the stars one last time.

Rogue woke up early in the morning and her gaze drifted over to Enigma's bed. Seeing no figure in the bed she jumped up and ran out the door.

Almost running into Enigma she froze.

"Good morning Rogue, how was your sleep?"

"Great thanks Enigma."

"I was just visiting the bathroom."

Rogue nodded and Enigma said, "How about we go get some breakfast I sure am hungry."

"Me too…um Enigma?"

"Yes?"

"Do you remember last night?"

"No…is there something I should remember?"

Enigma looked like she was telling the truth so Rogue replied, "No nothing."

"Oh okay, hey so what ya gonna do with your newfound freedom, that Bobby's pretty cute."

Rogue blushed and just lowered her head.

"I see."

'It's so easy to make these people believe anything, I didn't even have to use my powers.'

Rogue was still red when they entered the dining hall.

Jean looked up, "Hi, *she turned to Enigma* How are you feeling?"

Rogue did the symbol for 'don't mention that' and Jean got it.

"Just fine thanks…so what's for breakfast?"

"French toast, bacon and eggs."

"Bacon?"

Jean nodded and Enigma looked like she was about to gag.

"Are you okay?"

"I think I will just have the toast."

Jean nodded and Rogue turned to Enigma, "Are you a vegetarian?"

Enigma nodded and sat down at the table, "But its okay I just won't eat it."

Rogue nodded and sat down with her.

Everyone was greatly enjoying his or her breakfast including Enigma with her toast.

Rogue finally noticed something, "Hey Enigma I haven't seen Shadow around today, what's she up to?"

Enigma smiled, "She found a nice 'friend' and went off with him. She will be much happier with a loving family."

Rogue just nodded and Enigma laughed inwardly.

'So easy."

Enigma then turned sharply to Professor X and noticing his look smiled without letting on that she had seen or recognized that look. His gaze drifted off her.

Breakfast finished soon after and Enigma went to her first class with Rogue.

The two sat next to each other in Professor X's physics class.

Enigma was totally bored and decided to ask a question, "Professor, how come we can bend the laws of the real world?"

Professor X replied, "That I am afraid is still a mystery."

"I believe that we can bend the laws or even break them because we want to and we have special qualities that allow us to change the world."

"That is a good theory but…"

"And it is also why human's are afraid of us…"

"I think we are drifting off topic…"

And so Enigma zoned out while he rattled on about Relativity.

It was lunch and Rogue was having a good ol' chat with bobby when Enigma decided to roam about.

She sent out her mind and came across a few tidbits of information but what interested her most was a conversation between Jean and Professor X.

"Jean, I will address the students at dinner tonight."

"Shouldn't we tell them now, I mean I am sure that quite a few of them will see the news tonight."

"They shouldn't have to worry about it until they need to."

"I still cannot believe that another representative for an all human world has come forward. Do they think that we are monsters?"

"Jean…I understand your feelings but we must protect the children in any way we can. I will tell them tonight, let them not worry until then."

"Okay Professor, I will go and inform Scott, Logan, and Aurora…and Professor I take it that I will be speaking at the meeting tomorrow."

"Yes, this Mr. Parkton is rushing his plan. To hold a conference so early in his path…it's really quite reckless or he has some plan up his sleeve."

Something deep in Enigma stirred and she grew upset. She stood up starling Rogue and Bobby and flew up to the nearest window and left.

Rogue saw her go and followed her.

Bobby just stared, as did everyone else that was sitting at the table.

"Enigma, wait up!"

"Oh Rogue, hello."

Enigma was being all too pleasant.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh nothing, you will find out tonight."

"Huh?"

"Look Professor X will tell you all later."

Logan looked up from the grounds and saw the two girls floating, "Come down from there."

Enigma reluctantly dropped down and Rogue followed.

"Yes Logan?" Enigma asked sweetly.

"You endanger us all when you fly! And you too Rogue, you should know better!"

"Sorry."

Enigma smiled, "Rogue you will find out tonight and well Logan looks like you will find out very soon."

Enigma then walked away and Rogue and Logan just stared at her. There had been something in her voice that had told them to be wary of her and that her word was final.

Enigma walked out into the grounds. 'No I am not an angel. They don't exist. I have killed therefore I am a demon. That is what I am.'
