Angela's eyes locked onto her twin brother.
A sudden blast of water knocked her to the ground.
She hoisted herself up by her elbows and looked around unsteadily as a lightning bolt struck near her, about 3 feet away. She laughed, "Aim next time Storm." She started to say when white hot pain arced through her body.
Her last fleeting thought as she fell unconscious was, 'oops, water conducts electri-'
Wanda fled the scene, making herself invisible.
Troy ran over to his sister and scooped her off the ground tenderly. "Hey! Dr. Grey! My sister needs medical attention, now!"
She gave him a strange look and ambled over, "She'll be fine. Let's get her to the Institute."
He gently wiped the gravel away from Angela's scrapes and sprayed an antibiotic on them.
Xavier was waiting for them outside of the Institute, "Come in, quickly."
Scott led Troy to a secluded section of the institute, unlocking many passcodes and going through recognition tests that ensured who he was.
'This has a lot of security.' Thought Troy.
Finally, they reached a small white room with the barest of necessities.
Troy frowned, "What is this? Where are we?" Xavier rolled in after them, "This will be where your sister stays, Troy."
He half-smiled, "You are joking, right?"
Xavier shook his head, "I'm afraid not. Your sister is a bit of a security risk for us. She will have to stay in a secured area until she is rehabilited."
"Rehabilitated?" Troy yelled, "This is my sister we are talking about! She couldn't harm a flea, let alone a person!"
Logan interrupted, "Then you weren't paying much attention to what happened at the mall today. Didn't you see what she did?"
Troy paused, "Well, that was just a show of force! I don't see that any one of you got hurt! She is the only one who was shot down!"
Logan simply glared at him as Xavier tried to reason with him, "Now, Troy. This is just a precaution. It's for her protection as much as ours."
Troy gave him a poisonous glance, "Okay. But, if I see something that I don't like done to her, I'll cut her loose! Now, I need proper equipment to clean her cuts and electrical burns."
Scott tossed him a first aid kit and left the room with Xavier and Logan.
Troy opened the kit and started to wrap her badly burned arm.
Her head moved and she struggled feebly against her brother, "No.NO! LET GO!" Her eyes rolled about unseeing.
He shook her carefully, "Angela, Angela its me, Troy."
She quieted down and her eyes focused on him as she sat up.
She flexed her fingers painfully and a spark shot out of them, "Troy?" she asked quietly.
He smiled, "Yeah, its me little sister. How're you feeling?"
She ignored his question as she looked around, "Where am I? How long have I been here?"
"You're at the Institute and you've been here for a few hours."
She stood up as her wounds began to heal themselves, "Well, can you tell them that I'm feeling much better so that I can leave?"
He hesitated, looking away while she studied him carefully.
"Please? I really don't belong here, Troy."
He stood up next to her, supporting her elbow with his hand, "They did say that you only had to stay until you were healed, so let's go see."
He coasted through the security checks and led her to Xavier's office.
She smiled. 'I always could fool you big brother. Just one more stop and then I am home free.'
Unfortunately, Logan chose to barrel around the corner at that precise second. He froze in his tracks and streaked around the corner.
Troy looked after him, "Huh, wonder what got into him."
Angela pulled her elbow out of his hand and delved deep into his mind.
A few moments later he was peacefully asleep on the ground.
She ran so fast out of the building that it would have made even Pietro blink. When she exited the gate, she fixed the Brotherhood's location in her mind and ported away from the Institute. She walked in the Brotherhood's door to see Wanda pacing agitatedly while Pietro and Fred snored and Lance polishing his car.
"Hey, Wanda." She called.
Her head snapped up, "Angela? How'd you get away?"
Angela smiled mysteriously, "That is for me to know, and you to find out."
Toad jumped down the stairs and tackled her, nearly throwing her to the ground.
