Emma gathered her robe around her as she rose to her feet, not taking
her eyes from the figure in front of her.
"Raven, your alive." She said flatly.
"Yes Emma, no thanks to Magneto." She replied.
"What are you doing here?" Emma asked.
"I'm here to offer you a choice, join me, or die." Mystique said coldly.
"Raven dear, I'm sorry to say, I'm nowhere near as frightened of you as I am of Magento." Emma said. Mystique lashed out and grabbed Emma around the throat.
"Given Emma, Erik, is far more intimidating than I, of course he's not here at the moment, and no one is to sure as to where he might be, I on the other hand am standing right here, and I will snap your neck and assume your shape, no one will know your dead, and no one will mourn your passing." Mystique said calmly, squeezing Emma's throat for emphasis. Emma's vision began to spin, she closed her eyes and focused. Her body began to crackle with a reddish pink energy. A spear made of the energy shot from her body and sent Mystique flying across the room. Emma fell to the floor and gasped as Mystique groaned in pain.
"What the hell was that?" Mystique asked gritting her teeth.
"Telepathic lightning bolt." Emma rasped as she stood back up.
"You've learn a few new tricks I see." Mystique as she used the wall to steady herself.
"Nothing new, just a matter of channeling the ambient psychic energy in the air through your body. Would you like another demonstration?" Emma asked a cruel smile spreading across her face.
"No." Mystique said.
"I suggest you leave then, I will not be threatened in my own home." Emma said.
"Why are you so loyal to him Emma?" Mystique asked.
"Because I have an aversion to being killed." Emma replied.
"Is that right?" Mystique launched herself across the room. Emma rolled with the blow as Mystique's fist collided with the side of her head.
"Risky getting this close Raven." Emma said.
"I'm willing to bet you need time to recharge after that little trick." Mystique said as she kicked Emma square in the gut. Emma sailed across the room, hitting the wall with loud wet thump. She looked up to see Mystique staring down at her.
"I really don't want to kill you if I can avoid it Emma." She said.
"How kind of you." Emma said wincing as she touch the back of her head.
"Join me Emma, with the two of training them the brotherhood could truly be a force to reckoned with." Mystique said.
"As fun as that sounds, you can't guarantee that Magneto won't come kill the lot of us, and I will not endanger my students." Emma said.
"Actually I can guarantee that he won't touch us." Mystique said.
"And how can you do that?" Emma asked.
"With her." Mystique gestured toward the doorway where a dark haired girl stood.
"Is that?" Emma asked wide eyed
"Magneto's daughter." Mystique said.
"Raven, your alive." She said flatly.
"Yes Emma, no thanks to Magneto." She replied.
"What are you doing here?" Emma asked.
"I'm here to offer you a choice, join me, or die." Mystique said coldly.
