I apologize in advance for the very crap attempt of the chant! so don't criticize it please, i already know it sucks :L
"Elizabeth?" she asks me, her eyes widening as she looks me over for the first time. I shake my head; confused at the name she called me.
"No. My name's Roxanne. But everyone calls me Roxy…" I say. She sighs.
"I should have known Xavier changed your name…" she looked away for a few seconds before ushering me in. "Come… Take a seat!" I follow her in, taking in her apartment. It looks newly refurbished, with the wide flat screen hanging off the wall. It has a large couch opposite it in a lush white colour. Everything in the room had a black and white colour scheme. She walked over to the kitchen, which was only separated from the lounge by the counters.
"D'ya wonna drink?" she asks, looking over her shoulder at me.
"Urm, I'm good..." I say, my voice is soft. The way it goes when I'm nervous. She laughs softly before closing the fridge. I move slowly to the couch and sit down. After a few moments, she joins me.
"You want answers." She says her voice an exact replica of my own. She says it softly, her eyes looking over me as if they know something I can't see. "You've had enough of being in the dark and you want the answers. So you came here. To me." she looks down.
"Yeah… do you know what happened to me when I was a baby?" I ask, my voice shakes a tiny bit and I can feel my legs shaking uncontrollably as we sat there. She took a deep breath before looking at me.
"I can only guess. But you have to listen to me…" her voice was filled with urgency. "I never gave you to Magneto. You were taken from me, barely a month old. I found you when you were 18 months and gave you to Xavier with a promise that he'll look after you and never give you your powers. Ever." A single tear rolled down her cheek. She closed her eyes for a second.
"Who took me?" I ask, already guessing who it may be.
"Your father…" I let out a harsh laugh. Good thing I chucked the bastard over the cliff then wasn't it… Tinashe gasped. Her eyes flung open and she looked at me. Something had changed about her.
"There is something you have to understand about your father." Her voice was low, menacing. "He was part of the Master Guild. When someone comes up to you and asks you for something, especially if that person was offering a large sum of money, you do it. No matter what." Her eyes turned a familiar shade of red.
"You're protecting him?" I ask in disbelief.
"Of course I am! How was he supposed to know what Magneto was going to do to y…" she stopped, realising she had said too much, she put a hand over her mouth. I quickly grabbed onto Jeans power and scanned her mind.
"I can't believe I almost told her that Magneto enhanced her powers so that she'll be more like… oh crap!" her eyes widen when she realised that I was listening in.
"YOU KNEW!" I exploded, the rage inside of me taking over. Without waiting for a response, my hand flew up from my side. Not even sure what power I took, I unleashed everything on her. Her body erupted into flames. I didn't care anymore. She needed to pay.
She withered in pain for a few moments. I watched on with a smile on my lips. But deep down inside of me, I knew that I was wrong. She didn't disserve this kind of treatment. But that was only a small part of me.
I didn't notice at first when she stopped moving. She stood in front of me, her hand outstretched in my direction, palm up. Her eyes were closed and she was chanting something under her breath. As soon as I did notice, I tapped back into her brain.
"This little bitch has to pay,
Put out the fire so we can play,
Bring down the heaven and arise the hell,
And watch her wither in pain as she dispels…"
Her eyes flew open at the same time the fire went out.
"You think you can play with the grown ups?" she said, an arrogant smile plastered on her face. My earlier anger had disappeared and I knew I took this one way to far. But I couldn't – COULDN'T – let her know that.
"I don't think… I KNOW" my hand flies up, grabbing onto the first power it sees, causing her to fly out of the window. But before I can even register her leaving, she flies back through the window with the pieces of shattered glass flowing behind. Her feet touch the floor at the same time as the window repairs. She looks up at me, a smirk on her lips. Her appearance has somewhat changed. She still looked the same, but the aura around her had altered her. Her features were filled with rage, making her look ugly. But the thoughts flew through my mind, completely leaving when she spoke again.
"Is that the best you got?" she raises both hands, her pupils turning white as she does. Her feet slowly leave the floor as a strong wind starts to billow round the room. I instantly recognise the power's as Storm's. Ignoring my previous promise to my self to learn her powers before use, I grab onto it, letting the hurricane of all powers consume my body. It's a surge, it pulling me in every direction but the one I want to go in. my eyes fill with a black colour and I'm not sure what's happening. I raise my arms and feel the force as a powers released as my arms carry on rising to the roof till my palm are facing them. The force of the wind keeps on getting stronger and it as if there a mini storm in the room. My head flies back as a shock makes it way down my spine. A laugh sounds in front of me before stopping quickly. My body goes flying through the air till it makes contact with the wall opposite. And then my body caves to the darkness and my mind goes blank…
