Chapter thirteen-Secret plan
By The Opal Jade aka Slaya
It was night. It was a night that you could spend under the stars all night long. Now it was a month past those terrible events. We still stayed in NY.
And we discovered the laboratory in wich our captured friends were kept. It was our first real Generation X mision.
And it was horrid. They were all mutilated or killed or torchered. They were testing stuff on them. They could not move, they could breathe only if hooked on maschines. When they saw us…they were not happy because we came. They were happy because they now knew that they are gonna be saved. In some other idea than we had.
We were begged by our friends to kill them. And we did it. They were in pain. And there was no other way. On our way back Chamber blew up a tree.
Pieces of it hit me. Memories got caught up on me so that I think that I would not notice a truck going in my direction.
What can I say? I got a pretty big bump on the head.
I woke up while he was carrying me. I felt so safe and so sad. I wanted to kiss him in that moment. So I did. Our first kiss. I do not know what came over me.
Unfortunatly there were no more. He freaked. So he put me down to walk on my own. He still believes that he is not human enough to love or be loved.
But enough with the bad memories.
It is night. It is a night full of stars. A magical night that makes us forget all the bad things in our life. The wide sky reminds us on how small we really are.
So here we are. Domino, Rahne, Hipnotia, Kitty, Psylock and me.
Yes, she came here to us. and she is not blind anymore. She has eyes now. They are not violet anymore but blue. She came to help us.
I huged her. My teacher, mentor, my first real friend. The woman that made my life, the woman that made the X on my shoulder.
It was a girls night out. After a while Domino went on her own. Ignored the advices about always staying in a group. Kitty looked at me soulfully but what in the ninght gate of hell could I do?
Domino is a big girl.
Kitty went to a disco club with Hipnotia and Rahne. I was on my way with Psylock.
After such a long time.
She looked at my new scars on my hands and my new clothes that became more darker than ever.
-Well well….
I believe that my little girl finnaly decided to grow up.
I smile.
-It forced me to grow up.
-What did?
-I am not completley sure.
-You never were.
What about that mission? Your first?
Fine. You don t have to talk about it. You know that I won t blame you.
-It is not that, but….
-Yeah I know. Hush now.
But you re getting along now. You re mending the wounds. Maybe more than it should be normal. What about that Jonathan guy?
-You mean Chamber?
-Don t tell me that there is nogthing there. What about the kiss? Don t think that you re not shining trough your skin about it. But on purpose. You hope that he ll get a glimpse of that.
I know you Craft. You like him. And you won t stop till he s yours.
Not a bad way of taking things on.
But just don t get burned. Okay?
-Okay. What about you?
Any guys in your life?
-No. I don t have anybody. I don t want anybody here. Just have to be alone for awhile.
-Just face it. You re too strong for any guy to take on.
-Angel took me on pretty good for that matter.
-What are you talking about? You were not with…..
Her smile stoped me.
-…O god you are! And behind my back. You can officialy be proud of yourself.
-Thank you very much.
Hours pased. And we were still talking.
-I just do not want to fight all of my life. I just want to make peace with it all. And….just be happy or something corny like that.
I mean…I am strong and I know that. But all I want is for atleast once to see or meet someone who is stronger than me in every way possible. So that I would not be the only one who protects everything and everybody. I want for someone else to be here.. ...
-But you still can t give up the fight.
-And I can not give the fight up.
Silence.
Maybe there is something out there. Out in the mist.
There is.
Gambit and Rahne. Under the moonlight in the park. Sharing tender moments.
I did not know about this. They hide it. Gambit acts like always, just darkened. His arm healed nicely. And Rahne was always mysterious. Like me. Before I spilled my guts to Rogue, Kitty, Gambit, Domino and Chamber. Evan, Hipnotia and Rahne were still the part of the X-men that I did not knew a lot about. I did not know a lot about the rest of them by any given chance.
But what I already knew was enough. I knew that they were brave. And I knew that they were more than willing to risk their lives for a nuder one.
It pains me to see Rahne in a place that by my opinion should belong and does belong to Rogue even if she ran from it as satan from a cross.
The place was already hers. To keep.
Rahne.
She was cheyene. A native american. Her skin chocolate brown, hair and eyes black. She was beautiful in every possible way, a beauty that can not be described so easly.
If Rogue would find herself beside her she would see how her red hair with white stripes looked like a bad die and her skin so unnatural, small compared to Rahnes.
That was bothering me with her. She seemed so perfect.
She can metamorph into a wolf. After a while her powers evolved so she metamorphed into an owl. Wow, what a big «progress». The last that I heard of Rogue was that she felt a human touch on her face because she managed to supress her power for just a second. What I would not give to be there.
My comunicator started making strange noises. It always did that before I got a transmition. It was the profesor. Calling us back to the Black cave. Our new place.
After one hour we were introduced to our mission. We had to infiltrate the FOH s seemed headquarters in NY to find out everything we possibly can.
Wolwerine, Emma, Hipnotia are gonna work with me as memebers. We offcourse had a disquise.
Gambit and Rahne will do rounds around the place to see what is going on during the day while Chamber and Domino are gonna take on the job at night. Evan is going to observe the building and the secret activities while Kitty will use all of the information that we get to hack into the main-frame computer.
A good plan, do not you think?
