Chapter6: Caught
The Professor wheels from the dark corner in which he'd been sitting.
"Angel I'm surprised, you have so much more potential than this"
"give me the files" Angel holds out her hand
"And what would you do w/ them"
"It's none of your business what I do w/ anything, give me the files!" Toad moves behind the Professor as he's busy talking to Angel
"Angel what did they do to you"
"I learned the truth" Toad hits the Professor from behind knocking him unconscious
"and that's why you bring back up" Toad grabs the files and puts them in his vest jacket thing. All the sudden an alarm sounds when being knocked unconscious the Professor hit a button sounding the alarm. All the students enter the halls and Jean Scott and Storm Make their way around the mansion. Storm waits outside near the front gate, Jean at the nearest door, and Scott makes his way to the office. When Scott rounds the corner to the office he is hit w/ a large beach ball size fireball courtesy of Angel. Toad and Angel run to the front door where Jean is waiting and like a classic scene from the movie is slimed by Toad, however this time he also slings her across the room. The enter outside Where storm sends lighting bolts and great gusts of wind knocking them both off their feet. Angel scrambles off the ground and puts her hands together then slowly pulls them apart making the largest fireball she can and manages to send it storms way. Toad and Angel dash for the van get in and drive off getting to 80 miles an hour in 10 seconds.
Next day at the mansion. The Professor has woken up under the care of Jean who had Scott get he slime off.
"Angel is gone from us now. I don't know what they said or did to her but she seems now to think we are the enemies" The Professor turns and Looks at jean"
"What about the phone call you get yesterday, who was that?"
"It was a wrong number I said goodbye and hung up. Erik has outdone himself this time, he's outsmarted even me. I tried to read her mind it was such a large mess of things then I got knocked out. All I saw was when I entered her mind there was fire everywhere, like her mind was trapped in a burning building I heard her voice but she didn't say much she only said. "the only way to surpass a flame is to defeat it at its core" The next thing I knew I was hit and then I awoke her about 10 minutes ago"
Jean repeats what was said "the only way to surpass a flame is to defeat it at its core. But what does that mean? Fire doesn't have a core, a center, or even middle." Jean sits down tapping her head trying to find the meaning in Angel's saying
"Maybe it is one of those things in which you must think outside the box, or maybe even its time to get the help of our youth."
"I know just which ones to ask" Jean exits the recovery room walks down the hall and enters a class full of teens, Storm is teaching. "Orroro if you don't mind I need to borrow John and in a little while I'll be needing Kitty, Rogue, and Bobby as well.
"Yes, of course. John go, you're still responsible for your homework" John gets up and exits the class w/ Jean. They walk down the hall
"Am I in trouble"
"not hardly, do you consider yourself pretty good w/ riddles"
"a little"
"ok tell me if can interpret this, the only way to surpass a flame is to defeat its core"
"um.well I have to think, we usually do riddles as a group thing we're a pretty good team.
Later that day: In Kitty and Rogue's room, John, Kitty, Bobby, and Rogue try to solve the riddle. Rogue writes on a notepad thinking of different meanings
"well fire doesn't have a core though"
"I can run my finger through fire w/o burning my finger" Kitty stands up hoping that she may be onto something "the bottom of fire the blue part it isn't hot, that's the weak spot of fire it doesn't burn."
Bobby laughs to himself "ok so we need to run through Angel's feet and she won't have fire power anymore" Bobby receives a flying pillow to the head thrown by Kitty
At the Brotherhood
Magneto awaits their arrival in the kitchen "did you get he files?"
Toad reaches in his vest and reveals the files as Angel walks behind him shivering
"very good, Are you cold"
Angel enters the kitchen "yes actually I am what is it 10 degrees in here?"
"76 actually, this is wonderful, your powers are getting so strong that the normal heat is cold. When your powers reach their ultimate high we can put you on the sun and you'll ask for a jacket"
"um ok then, can I have a blanket though"
"Just rest child you had a busy day, and what did I tell you about them, they sure were quick to try get rid of you"
"I know attacked me and everything but we won"
"rest now, tomorrow comes to soon"
"give me the files" Angel holds out her hand
"And what would you do w/ them"
"It's none of your business what I do w/ anything, give me the files!" Toad moves behind the Professor as he's busy talking to Angel
"Angel what did they do to you"
"I learned the truth" Toad hits the Professor from behind knocking him unconscious
