Now in this scene coming up imagine Illyria from 'Angel' and that's Dianna.


+Going Under+

Jack's POV.

Jack glared at the man in front of him as he voiced his opinion on the matter of Dianna, but not once did Jack budge. He kept his glare until suddenly the hospital's doors flew open, by fire. Out walked Dianna, with her lion lighter in hand. Jack watched as she pulled a pair of gloves out of her pocket and hooked them onto her hands. She then inserted her lighter into them. Jack had seen them before. Dianna had explained that they were what helped the fire work much easier. She had also started keeping them handy after the Paten incident. Dianna then inserted another zippo lighter into her glove before looking up at the oncoming guards. She turned and raised her hand at them. Fire came from her hand and the guards jumped back fearing the flame.

Dianna set fire to the hallway they were in before turning to look up at the brothers. That's when Jack saw the changes. Dianna had morphed into something he didn't know. The top of her forehead where the hairline connected was blue and followed throughout her veins. It was the same color blue as the streaks in her hair. Her eyes were as dark as an abyss. Her expression on her features was purely of rage. It was like she recognized no one. Like she no longer cared who got in her way, and at the moment, Gambit, was in her way.

"Now hold on Cheri, you don't want to hurt little old me," Gambit teased with a smile reaching into his trench coat and pulling out a few poker cards.

Dianna ignored him and raised her hand letting the flames engulf him. However, somehow, he managed to avoid it. The next thing Jack knew was he was throwing cards at Dianna that exploded upon impact. Dianna used the water from the display fountain in the lobby to expand around her and keep the fire away from her skin. Then once it died down she lunged at Gambit and with one punch to the skull he fell out, blacking out like a light. Jack had never known Dianna was that strong.

Dianna walked past her brothers, ignoring them completely. The brothers didn't dare get in her way either. She was dangerous to their health. She was out of control.

Dianna's POV.

Dianna made her way outside and found the White Queen and Mr. Xavier waiting for her. They had already known of the commotion. Without a second look, Dianna sprinted off in the other direction. She heard heels running behind her and suddenly a wall go up in front of her, or more so an invisible wall. Dianna turned on the White Queen and let loose her flames. The woman screamed in horror as she let her wall down and held up a shield to protect her face.

'Dianna stop this foolishness,' Professor Xavier screamed inside of her head.

"NO, NOW STAY OUT OF MY HEAD," Dianna screamed sending a shock wave inside of his mind making him scream out in pain. He hadn't expected it. Taking the moment of distraction she took off into an alley nearby and out of site. With Xavier knocked out, and the White Queen still trying to escape the flames that were surrounding her, they were too busy to track Dianna.

Dianna was far from the hospital now as she came to a stop and searched around the neighborhood. She immediately found what she was looking for. She broke the driver's side window and reached in and unlocked the car. Once inside she leaned down and began to hotwire it…just how Bobby had taught her. Within moments she was driving down the highway almost full speed heading towards the destination inside of her head. The one planted by Paten on purpose. He was leading her too him. He wanted her, no…he needed her. She could feel his greedy thoughts pushing inside of her mind.

Finally coming to a full stop outside of an abandon warehouse she stepped out of the car and prepared herself. Making sure her lighters worked and her claws extended she was ready to go. She walked up to the warehouse with her metal claws out for the ready.

She tore down the door with her power over water, by using the snow to literally shoot through the door at full speed. She then made her way inside the dark room. The only light was above her in some old office. She walked up the stairs and toward the lighted room. Every step she took she felt his mind overpowering hers even more. His disgusting fantasies and cruel thoughts swam inside her mind reeking havoc, causing her powers to grow even strong with her anger.

She reached the door to the room and reached for the doorknob. As she turned the knob and the door creaked she heard a voice whisper inside her head, 'Come right on in Lightning.'

Dianna kicked in the rest of the door breaking it off its hinges. There Paten sat on the same bed he had taken Sarah's innocence. Dianna felt her blood boil.

"It's so good to see you again. I see you've healed since our last meet at the church," Paten chuckled evilly standing up from the bed and walking over to her.

"Come on Lightning you know you want to do it. Kill me," Paten laughed cruelly messing with her. Dianna stood her ground not moving an inch as he circled around her.

"All these years, I thought I'd forget your smell," he leaned in and inhaled the scent of her hair, "Your taste," he licked the corner of her lip making her flinch ever so slightly, "Your feel." She felt his hand rest on her shoulder, "but I guess I couldn't forget you." Paten continued to trace down her shoulder, to her chest, across her breasts, down her stomach, but before he could reach lower she took her knee up and got him the groin. He bent over in pain and hobbled over to the bed as he just laughed.

"I let you have that one, now let's let the fun begin," Paten smirked as slowly his body transformed into its metal skin.

"Hope you like my new look, you never commented on it last time. Then again most of the time I either had my tongue in your mouth, or my fist," and with that Dianna attacked him as she swung her foot around and kicked him. He stumbled back slightly surprised by her force. He knew now she wasn't afraid of him. Whatever little girl he had once knew that girl was no longer there. This one held rage beyond what anyone could believe. She was blinded by rage.

Paten swung his fist connecting it with her cheek. Dianna tumbled backwards toward the bed, but she managed not to lose her footing. She took her jaw in hand and cracked it back into place. It hurt, but it helped. She then lunged at Paten again, but he concentrated on of his willpower to conduct the energy around him, making the lights flicker erratically before going out letting him turn into a giant blue light bulb. He then forced that energy on Dianna who flew out the glass window of the room and to the other side of the building, before she fell and hit the ground below.

Dianna groaned in pain as she lifted herself off the ground, but surprisingly nothing was broken. Thanks to the Adamentium metal in her skin that protected her from that. All the sudden a pair of metal feet fell in front of her and the next thing she knew she had his metal foot in her face. She flew backwards and hit the wall. He came at her again and kicked her. Over and over he continued the process. Finally fed up she called upon the water around and the next thing Paten knew there was an avalanche of snow coming through the wall of the warehouse at him. Dianna stood after losing sight of him. However suddenly a hand shot out of the snow and grabbed her leg. Dianna was thrown back down on the ground as Paten rolled on top of her still in his metal form. He placed his hands over her throat and began choking her.

Dianna never knew what it was like to watch her life flash before her eyes, but now she did. It flashed by rather quickly as she gasped for air.

"Mommy, look at the dolphins," Dianna yelled pointing at the dolphins in the water.

"I see them baby," Kayla smiled at her daughter while she held her two year old son.

+flash+

"Get away from her," John yelled extending his hand as the fire from a nearby candle shot out toward his father. The fire enveloped his father burning him alive. Dianna ran to her brother as he held onto her tightly afraid to let her go.

"KILL HIM JOHN, KILL HIM," Dianna cried.

+flash+

"MOM, NOOOO," Dianna screamed in anger and pain as she saw her mother's dead body in the car. Her scream flew across the air to many other ears. She heard the sirens coming, but her eyes never wavered from her mother's body.

+flash+

"LEAVE ME ALONE," Dianna cried out in anger at her foster father as she kicked and screamed finally reaching her lighter. In a hurry she opened it up clicked it on and lit him a flame just like her little brother had done to their father. She took off the moment he rolled off of her.

+flash+

"Come back with me Dianna. It's a much safer place. Your brother loves it there greatly. Why can't you," Professor Xavier asked.

"I have unfinished business elsewhere. I like my freedom anyway," Dianna answered.

+flash+

Dianna also remembered all of the other good times she had had with Jack, one in particular.

+flash+

Jack finally opened his mouth, "Hey Di." Dianna turned and smiled until she saw his serious face. "Yeah Jackie." Jack took a deep breath and plunged, "Do you like me?" Dianna's eyes widen and she dropped everything in her hands. She just stared at him with a stunned expression.

Dianna could have sworn that her world came down crashing around her. Did he really just ask that? Did he know? Did Ma tell him? Dianna couldn't open her mouth as hard as she tried she really wanted to say something, but she couldn't.

"Jack…um," damn it woman just say it to him Dianna screamed in her head.

"Listen Di I get it if you don't, I just wanted to know because I um….," 'is he faltering, what is he trying to say?' Dianna thought as she looked at his fidgeting eyes closely as they darted everywhere but her. She wanted to search his mind and find out so bad, but she knew it was wrong and she had vowed to never do it again to him.

Dianna took a deep breath and plunged coming to her decision, "Yes Jack I like you, more than either in a sisterly way or friendly way." Jack's head snapped up toward her and he walked closer to her. Without another word his lips crashed against hers. Dianna was so taken aback that she didn't have time to react as his one hand caressed her face and another one held her closer by her waist. Dianna slowly wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss.

+flash+

With that last memory Dianna gained her strength back. She used her telepathic abilities and let them invade his mind. She sent a mental scream throughout his mind. It sounded almost like a banshee screaming through the night. Paten immediately reared back in pain and held his head in his hands. Dianna slowly got her breath back in wheezes; however she kept her mind control on him as she continued the scream.

As she stood she concentrated on doubling the sound and doubled it did. Paten began rolling on the floor screaming for her to stop. However, she did not.

"PLEASE LIGHTNING STOP," Paten begged again looking up at her as he reached out his hand. When he did she could see the blood on them and his ear. Dianna noticed the metal skin disappear and then return him back to his normal form. Dianna walked over and kicked him hard. He screamed louder and louder until his voice was lost. By that time she heard a pair of heeled boots running toward her.

"Dianna stop this now," the White Queen yelled.

"He'll do it again if I don't stop him," Dianna screamed out in anger.

"Please Dianna let it go," the White Queen cried out, "Don't be like me. Don't be like your mother." Dianna let loose on her power over Paten and turned to the White Queen.

"What do you know about my mother? You didn't know her," Dianna screamed angrily as the snow around them lifted and created a blizzard within the room.

"I did Dianna. Your mother was my sister," she yelled over the blizzard.

"No it's not true," Dianna cried not believing a word she said.

"You're not alone anymore Dianna. I'm here for you now," the White Queen replied fighting to make her way through the storm and toward Dianna. When she was in touching distance she reached out and laid her hand on Dianna's cheek and Dianna was pulled into a memory of her mother when she was younger.

Her mother was happy. Her mother was playing dolls with her sister. Her mother was saving her sister from Stryker. Her mother was dying in a hospital bed. Her mother was living. Her mother was hugging her sister. Her mother was watching her sister go to jail for what she had done. Her mother was crying as she brought in a baby Dianna into the jail to show to Emma. Emma smiled down at the little buddle of joy. The little of bundle of joy was what made her change her life.

Dianna snapped out of it, but not in time though. Paten was back on his feet, and back in his metal form. He conducted the electricity left in the room and soon he was lighting the whole building and two blocks around it. Then with his last strength shot it at Dianna.

Dianna pushed Emma out of the way, but took the full blow as she was shot across the room, through the building and into a car in the parking lot. Dianna couldn't get up, not even when she heard a shot ring out from her brother's gun. Not even when Jack ran over to her to cradle her in his arms crying. Dianna felt complete pain. Jack leaned her up and Dianna realized why. She had a metal stick sticking through her stomach. With her last bit of energy Dianna leaned up and pulled away from the stick screaming in pain. Jack helped her and soon she was back in his arms.

"Please Dianna don't leave me," Jack cried, "Please you can't."

"I won't," Dianna whispered and then the blood came pouring out of her mouth. Then Dianna lost consciousness.
