Hi everyone, thank you for the reviews, I appreciate them greatly, especially those of you who are helping me grow as a writer. I hope not to disappoint. Here is chapter 3, and I will warn, I may be changing the love flare between Remy and Rogue, but I haven't decided if I will keep it that way or not. I forgot to disclaim earlier that I will not only be taking from X-men evolution, but also bits and pieces from other pieces of the various x-men sagas. I promise to be bringing her powers down, as I know there are quite a lot, but it will be a bit further down the line.
Lilly had just been able to calm down, letting the elements die down with her calmness, her hair and eyes turning back to their normal colors. That was when several helicopters touched down on the football field. She stood up, surrounded by the X-men, who had just become surrounded by men with weapons. A very tall, muscular man, carring a few guns stepped forward. He looked like a military general you would see in the movies. He had a ferocious expression on his face, his bald head covered by a black beret. He was dressed in black clothing with what looked to be swat body armor over the top.
"Now, I know you muties stick to each other like glue, but why don't you hand over the girl, and we don't shoot you all dead here," the man said.
The X-men formed a tighter circle around Lilly, protecting her. She was overwhelmed with happiness at them defending her like this. The one with the cards stayed in the circle of X-men, right by her side. He looked at her and winked, making her blush.
"Don't you worry cherie, we won't let dem hurt you," Gambit said. She smiled at him.
"Thank you," Lilly said.
"I see. Well if that's your decision...fire!" the man said. The men raised their guns, aimed at the X-men and fired.
"NO!" Lilly shouted, clenching her eyes shut. She felt a strong heat fill her body, and her hair and eyes turned red again. When she opened her eyes, she saw that there was a flame wall between the humans and the X-men, stopping the bullets before they even passed through the flames. She had protected them, not even trying. That's when she got dizzy, her hair and eyes turned back to normal. Her vision grew blurry, and her hearing started to fade. She felt herself falling, but instead of hitting ground, she felt strong arms catching her. She looked up and met Gambit's eyes. He winked at her and picked her up, princess style.
"I'd say it's time to leave," Logan growled.
"I'd say you're right," Xavier stated. "Storm, can you give us some cover while the fire is still up?"
"Of course," Storm replied. She created a very dense fog, and they all ran to the cars. Lilly passed out and the flames disappeared. They sped towards the mansion, barely getting away from the man and his army, this time. The X-men thought it seemed a little too easy, but for now, they were not going to question it if it meant that they were all safe.
They took Lilly to Hank, so he could make sure her vitals were still okay. He looked her over and everyone checked out fine. Hank deduced that she had just used too much energy when her powers first took form and then again when she created the shield. All she needed was some rest, and she would be up in no time.
Ophelia ran through the doors, looking at Xavier. "Is she okay?!" Ophelia asked quietly, looking at Xavier and then looking over at Lilly. Lilly opened her eyes, still a little weak and looked over at Ophelia.
"Hey there. I'm glad to see you're okay after all," Lilly stated.
"Thanks to you I am," Ophelia stated.
"You two know each other?" Xavier asked.
"Uh huh, you remember that day that I was cornered by the mean people? She was the one who saved my life," Ophelia answered.
"Ah I see. Well then I'm happy you two were able to reunite. May I speak to Lilly alone for now Ophelia, and then I'll let you two visit each other ok?"
"Ok," Ophelia said before leaving the infirmary.
"How are you feeling?" Xavier asked.
"Okay...a little overwhelmed...I can feel so many things in my head, in my bones...it hurts...it's confusing," Lilly said, tearing up.
"I know, but that's what this school is here for, so we can help you, teach you to control your powers and live with them. We will do everything we can to help you."
"Thank you so much Professor Xavier."
"You are very welcome. Now rest up dear, if you're up to it, we'll start your training tomorrow."
"Okay."
Xavier left the room, and Ophelia visited with Lilly for a little while before Lilly decided it was time for her to sleep. She rested for the rest of the day and night, feeling much more refreshed in the morning.
Thank you all for reading up to this point. I'll be updating again soon. I'm going to try and make it at least every Wednesday, but hopefully at least twice a week. Maybe every Sunday and Wednesday?
