4.
The next morning Erik and Charles where gone, leaving me with Raven. There wasn't much to do I soon found myself wandering the building remembering passages and shortcuts to different place most of all the exits in case something were to happen. When I got to my room I couldn't help but squeal with delight there sitting on my bed was an iPod, head phones, and charger. I spent the last 3 hours downloading music, when Erik and Charles came back with a tall dark skin man.
"Hi my name is Lyra, Lyra Sandchester," I introduced myself.
He gave me a smile," My name is Armando Muñoz but you can call me Darwin," he said shaking my hand.
I could tell that he was a kind hearted person, kind of the protective older brother type. Raven and Hank joined us introducing themselves we all sat down in the rec room waiting for Charles an Eric to come back with the next recruit. While we waited, we played card games, suddenly the door burst opened in walked in a lanky red head. He walked with a slight swagger clearly he was full of himself. His eyes were a mixture of blue grey and freckles, he stared at me with a suggestive tone.
"The name is Cassidy, Sean Cassidy, and who are you beautiful," he said pulling the James bond. I stifled my laughter and gave him a smile which he took as a good sign, teenage boys and their hormones.
"Not intrested and my name is Lyra," I said leaning back into the sofa, he shrugged and turn to Raven.
"Raven I'm Charles' sister and don't even try to pull that one on me Sean," she said laughing at him he shrugged brushing it off as if it were nothing.
"Gotta admit it was worth a shot," he said. I liked this kid he had spunk even though it was clear he was a pervert.
Darwin and Hank introduce themselves and we all began to play a game of cards. Raven threw her hands up, "Aw hell I fold," throwing her cards on the table frustrated. Soon Darwin and Hank folded so it was me and Sean, I kept my poker face up looking over my cards: straight diamonds. I looked up at Sean he had a smug smile on his face, " Lady's first," he said.
I laid down my cards earning an ooh from Raven, Sean's eyebrows disappeared into his ginger bangs. He smiled setting down his cards my jaw dropped a royal flush. No freaking way, Darwin laughed and gave Sean a clap.
"Gotta say that's pretty damn good Sean," I said running my hand through my black hair. He nodded and gave me a high five he's such a kid.
We all agreed that we would wait for the others to get they're to share our powers with one another. The next day the stupid CIA people said that we could only go to the rec room and our room.
"You can't keep us cooped up in this room," I argued this is so freaking stupid.
"You will stay in there," the officer said keeping a steel face.
"What the y'all serious what if were hunger huh," I yelled my southern accent coming out.
"We'll bring it to you," he said.
"This is bullshit I'm leaving this room now and you can't stop me," I said pushing him out the way.
I felt him grab my arm, bad move I spun around landing a punch in his face he let me go. I took off going to the lab to see Hank, another officer approached me he was bigger than the other and he was blocking my way. I looked him over I knew his size was intimidating he could easily take me out .
I shook my head, "Sugah move before I hurt you," I said this was pissing me off to no end. He shook his head and threw me over his shoulder,
"Put me down you fucking NEANDERTHAL ARGH," I yelled as he threw me into the room on my ass.
He closed the door behind him and I rubbed my sore butt and sat down next to raven. I looked around and noticed two new faces, a handsome blonde boy who at the time was playing a pinball game with Darwin and was now looking at me and a small petite black girl. I stormed over and plopped onto the couch. She looked at me and gave a cautious smile,
"Hi I'm Angel," she said.
"I'm Lyra sorry if I freaked you out I don't like being confined in a room," I said giving her a reassuring smile that I wasn't crazy.
"It's fine but I won't try that again with big boy," she said motioning towards the door.
"Yeah," I turned to look at the blonde boy, "Whats your name," I asked.
He looked up from his coke bottle, "Alex Summers," it was a short answer not giving any other information on himself.
"Guys were government agents, we should have secret code names," Raven said excitedly I couldn't hep but shake my head at her.
"I wanna be called Mystique," she said.
"Damn," Sean joked,"I wanted to be called Mystique," he said.
They all laughed,"Well tough I called it," she said blue spikes erupted as she turned into a complete copy of Sean. Sean eyes grew as big as saucers as she said,"And I way more mysterious than you," saying in his exact voice. She changed back earning claps from the rest of us, "What about you Darwin," she said waving her hand in his direction.
"Well Darwin's already a nickname so it kinda fits... adapt to survive an all," he said getting up and walking over to a fish tank, "Watch this," he added. He put his head in and we watched in awe as gills came out of the side of his face. He came up shaking the gills away, and sat back down next to Alex.
"What about you," he said pointing at Hank.
I felt kinda bad for Hank I knew he wasn't very comfortable about his mutation, he shifted nervously. Alex took a drink of his coke, "How bout bigfoot?," he said with a cocky grin.
I picked up my empty can of sprite and throw it hitting him in the head,"Don't be a prick."
Raven turned to him annoyed,"Well you know what they say about guys with big feet" she looked down at his feet "And uh yours are kinda small." I laughed and Alex began laughing too, gotta admit that was a nice blow.
"I wanna be called...Banshee," Sean said.
"Why would you want to be named after a wailing spirit," Hank questioned.
"And aren't banshees women," I inquired.
"Haha very funny but you might wanna cover your ears," he said, I was the first to do it as the rest of them looked at him with uncertainty as they plugged their ears.
He sucked in a breath looking at us with a proud smile and let out a super sonic scream that broke the large glass window.
"Woah," Angel gasped. I clapped my hands laughing, he turned to me, "What you laughing at he said sitting next to me." I stopped and turn to him with a smile, "Oh nothing my little ginger," I said ruffling his red hair.
I turned to Angel,"You?" she got up removing her jacket earning a whistle from Sean and a size up from Alex.
"Well my stage name is Angel..kinda fits," she turned showing tattoos of dragonfly wings suddenly they came to lift and she hovered in the air.
"You can fly," Raven gasped. I looked at her in awe, her wings were very pretty. "Yep and uh," she turned to the broken window and spit out a ball of acid. Acid spit? thats strange but I guess it can be useful. Darwin turned to Alex, "What about you Alex," Alex looked down a dark expression.
"I can't... I mean ...I c-can't do it in here,"
"Can you do it out there come on Alex, Alex, Alex," Darwin challenged and we began chanting Alex's name.
He finally got up and walked outside through the broken window,"Get back when I tell you," we followed him to the window poking our heads out to see what he was doing.
"Get back,"
We moved out only to poke our heads back out to see, "I said get back" we didn't move, "Whatever." He moved his hips in a circular motion red rings that shot out in diferent directions slicing the statue that stood in the middle of the yard. We all yelled in applause, Angel hopped up and down, "Oh my God that was awesome, you should be Havok," I yelled. We came back inside and they stared at me I guess its my turn.
"What can you do my Egyptian Goddess," Sean said slinging an arm around me.
"I can make force fields and I'm a motivator, for instance. Get your arm off me and go put it on...Alex," I said with a smirk noticing Alex look of horror. I watched Sean's face go blank as he got up and went attempt to put his arms around Alex. He raised his fist to sock Sean when a placed a force field around Sean as his force was ricochet back to him. I let go of my trance of Sean, and said back with an evil grin as everyone laughed at a furious Alex and horrified Sean.
"Your mean, Trance," Sean said backing away from Alex.
I went next to him, "Aw I'm sorry Sean forgive me," I said giving him puppy dog eyes.
"Yeah," he said with a blush.
They all saw Sean as a major perv but I had been a perv once myself still am so it was nice we got along well. I knew he would never make any advances on me he'd be to scared if I accepted. I took him in as my pervy "little brother", I punched his shoulder lightly and walked over to the juice box.
The beat to "Fergielicious" began, "It's time to PARTY," I yelled pulling Raven on top of the table as Angel began dancing while in the air and Hank jumped up using his ape like feet to attach to a light. We danced on top the table as I singed the words the song, "Hold hold hold hold hold up, check it out
Baby, baby, baby
If you really want me
Honey, get some patience
Maybe then you'll get a taste
Of my tasty, tasty
I'll be laced with lacey
It's so tasty, tasty
It'll make you crazy," I singed hopping off the table to have more room to dance.
"Hit it Fergie," Raven yelled.
"All the time I turn around brothas gather round
Always lookin? at me up and down, lookin? at my
(Uh)
I just wanna say it now I ain't tryin? to round up drama
Little mama I don't wanna take your man
And I know I'm comin? off just a little bit conceited
And I keep on repeatin? how the boys wanna eat it
But I'm tryin' to tell,oc that I can't be treated like clientele
?Cause they say she delicious"
"So delicious" Darwin and Alex said.
"But I ain't promiscuous
And if you was suspicious
All that **** is fictitious
I blow kisses
(Mwah)
That puts them boys on rock, rock
And they be linin? down the block
Just to watch what I got
Four, tres, two, uno" I singed just as a loud booming voice yelled.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON"
We all froze there stood Moira with her hands on her hips her face red in anger. "Who destroyed the statue"
"It was Alex" Hank confessed as Alex gave him a what-the-hell look. Raven step forward oh god don't say anything Rave please its bad enough. "No its Havok we have to call him Havok now that's his name," she began.
"Raven," I whispered with a pleading look but she didn't seem to noticed. My eyes darted back and forth between her, Charles, Moira, and Erik. "And we were thinking you should be professor X," pointing at Charles "And you should be Magneto" she finished pointing at Erik.
He met us with a bland expression, "Exceptional," he said full of sarcasms, his eyes met mine and he left. Charles face was full of disappointment, like a father, it made me feel small and shameful.
"I expected more from you," he said directing it to Raven, her face fell tears brimmed her brown eyes as Charles walked away.
I walked up behind her and rubbed her shoulders sportively, "Don't worry about him, he can be an old coot sometimes besides were young and we deserve to have some fun," I said.
She wipe her eyes and nodded giving me a weak smile, as she left the rec room. I began cleaning up the room with Angel, she seemed like a nice girl naive yes but still nice. I tried to clean up the glass of the once existing window.
I manage to cut myself on some glass, I groaned went to the bathroom for the first aid kit. I felt an uncomfortable tug it felt like my skin was being pulled, I looked down and the fresh cut on my hand was closing up. I ran my fingers over the now no existent cut it didn't even leave a scar. I shrugged I never understood mutations well but that was cool I could heal myself.
I was tired and just wanted to sleep but I had to see Charles first. I peeked out the hallway of course an officer down the hall,
"Hey get back in your room," he said walking towards me.
"You never saw me I stayed in my room the entire time now go to sleep," I said putting him in a trance I watch him slump to the ground snoring softly. I walked down the hallway till I found his room.
Charles!
Lyra what are you-
Open the door
The door opened to reveal Charles in a blank white beater and sweat pants, "What is it Lyra," he said leaning against the banister.
"Look we were just having some fun okay we've been cooped up in that room since we all got here and not to mention you hurt Ravens feelings,"
"I was trying to convince Moira that you were ready you all let me down,"
"Get over it okay you forget that were young and who gives a shit what Moira thinks (seriously she was such an inconvenience to the movie and it's her fault Charles got shot so screw her),"
"Uh language," he said sternly.
"Does it really look like a f-"
"Language"
I sigh rubbing my temples, "Look just I didn't come here to argue or nothin just talk to Raven she was upset at what you said and frankly I am too and... God you can be such a dad sometimes I mean I'm sorry we disappointed you really but what you said made us feel like crap and just I'm sorry were all sorry but go talk to Raven please," I ranted.
We stayed quiet for awhile just looking at each other, and then he nodded. I patted his shoulder and headed back to my room. I didn't even take a shower I would do it in the morning, I just wanted a peaceful sleep and of course I never got it.
Dream Sequence:
I stood in a hallway of my home I heard voices, I peeked around the corner to see my mom and dad. My heart was stuck in my throat I hadn't dream of mom ever. She stood there light skin black hair hazel eyes.
"You can't go back to them what about Arianna and Lyra," my dad said.
"Will be quiet they might here you it doesn't matter I'm going back to him and you can't stop me," mom said.
"Please Amelia I love you," he said resting his arms on her waist. She looked away, "I know and I love you but me and you we can't I've hid from him this long. I thought I was done but I saw him and I realized he was right. People like me can't be accepted so I'm leaving to protect you and the girls they would hurt you just because of me. Stick with plan," she said picking up a suitcase heading for the door.
Suddenly, I was outside I heard children laughing I followed the sound and went behind the house. Two little girls sat in the grass doing something with flowers.
"Ari, hurry up I'm already done with yours," one girl with short black hair, I realized that was me when I was 6.
I looked at the girl across from me; I could have burst into tears. She had a darker complexion than mine, my mother's hazel eyes, dimples, pink lips and dark brown hair in a braid down her back. My big sister.
"Done," she said laying the crown of flowers on my head and I put her crown on her head.
"Now we're princess," I said with a goofy smile.
"Not just princess sisters that will always be there for each other forever," Arianna said giving me a hug. I felt a tug at my heart and closed my eyes remembering the promise we were suppose to keep but we didn't.
I opened my eyes and I was outside a room someone was arguing then I recognize the voices. I walked in too see Arianna at 11 sitting on her bed with me at 10 a few inches from her yelling at her.
"MOM'S DEAD OKAY SHE'S NOT COMING BACK," I yelled tears streaming down my face. Arianna didn't say anything just stared at me blankly.
"YOUR SUPPOSE TO BE MY SISTER BUT YOU DON'T TALK, YOU ALWAYS IN YOUR ROOM, WHAT HAPPENED TO "we'll be there for each other when things get bad" HUH," I yelled in her face. That was soon when she left I remembered the guilt, I began to cry I should have never said her, what I was about to say.
"YOU KNOW WHAT I DON'T CARE ANYMORE. YOU. .. YOUR NOTHING BUT A COLD EMPTY PERSON WHO DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING. YOU COULD DIE AND I WOULDN'T CARE. I HATE YOU,"I screamed and stormed out of the room slamming the door.
I looked Arianna as she collapsed on her bed crying softly.
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have sad that to you I was just mad please Ari don't cry please," I said crying but she couldn't hear me after all this was just a dream.
