There was a bang and then I heard him. Riptide was here, in the Central Intelligence Agency's building. There was someone else. No, there were two people females that I didn't know and one voice that I did; this voice was in fact one of the men that was responsible for putting me in here; and with that I went into my diamond mode. He ripped off the door and walked casually into my cell.
"Eric, I believe?" I asked, standing straight, looking him in his eyes.
He smirked at me and said, "Actually I prefer Magneto."
I looked at the now crowded doorway to see new faces and some old. Azazel and Riptide were standing there towards the back with a dark haired woman who was barely wearing anything; she was standing next to a blue woman. Yes blue, but she had ginger hair and I think there are scales on her body! Oh well, Azazel has a tail.
And then I saw it. Magneto was wearing Sebastian's helmet that his 'friends' in Russia had designed especially for him.
"Wear is Shaw?" I asked, knowing the only answer was going to kill me.
"Dead; I killed him myself," I winced at this but my reaction only made his smile widen, "I drove a coin straight through his head, slowly passing through his brain. It was brilliant, the pain he must have felt would have been unbearable. He didn't even scream."
Magneto watched me for a couple of minutes, assessing me would be a better term to use. He was seeing how I would take in this new information, all these new details of Sebastian's death that seemed to please him in some way. I looked up and caught Riptide starring at me, like he was concerned and then I remembered the last time we saw each other, he was thinking of the same thing too. That made me blush because he was thinking of getting back to the house and caressing me and kissing me.
"So, are you coming with us or not?" the blue woman asked.
I nodded in agreement and with my acceptance Azazel held out both of his hands. Magneto took his right while the dark haired girl took his left. Riptide took her hand and they looked up at each other and smiled. The blue woman took Magnetos free hand. I walked over to Riptide and grabbed hold of his free hand. He gave my hand a gentle squeeze and smiled back at me.
We were back at home in no time and as soon as we were I went straight into my room only to find that it had all changed. None of my belongings where in here, none of my clothes in the wardrobe, every single trace of me had gone in a matter of weeks. A pair of arms wrapped around me and held me there for ten minutes until they spun me around. I should have known it was Riptide. He started kissing me but I pulled away.
"Not now Riptide," I whispered, refusing to look him in the eyes.
He put his finger under my chin and gently guided my face upwards, to meet his.
"Why is it that you call me Riptide?" he asked with a soft smile.
"Its your name," I laughed.
"No, my name is Janos. Would you like me to refer to you as the white queen?"
I didnt answer his question since it seemed to be a rhetorical one so I just smiled up at him. It wasnt much of a smile, but he squeezed me again. He held me for another ten minutes before he left and left me standing here in a strangers room.
