For a moment she is free.
The sunlight is warm and pleasant against her pale cheeks and arms. The wind captures her curls and swirls them around her face. She laughs unreservedly and zooms faster.
She entertains visions of soaring home to capture Remy in her arms, of returning to this place with the X-men to find Logan and release the rest of the captive mutants, of making these horrible people pay for the atrocities they've committed.
Her heart races; she can almost see over the surrounding, concrete wall—
The device embedded in her wrist spasms suddenly, and she falls from the sky.
