Chapter Twelve: Siren

Damia stood in front of the remaining team members, who now had to know what they were up against. Luckily one of the strongest members of the X- men team had not been put under the woman's trance.Wolverine. Damia was thankful that the more experienced members were on her side. They all looked at her know for answers and she was going to give them.

"Time is of the essence." Mr. McCoy said politely.

Damia nodded. "The woman who took the others is called Siren. She is a telepath, but her power is different then the way the professor uses his, he uses his mind, her telepathy is used by speaking or singing. She can convince anyone to do her will. You can break the trance two ways and makes you immune to her powers that are by mixing your blood with hers, which is how I saved Rouge and that is why I am unaffected. The other way that only lasts for gives another command is by killing her." ^^Which I intend on doing. ^^ Damia clenched her fist.

The professor exited the room and they entered the room that held cerbro. He put on the device and closed his eyes concentrating on his students. "I found them; they are in the same area that you and the other girls were held captive."

"You think Mags is involved?" Logan arched his eyebrow.

"The facts seem to say so." Storm said.

"So what's the plan?" Rogue asked.

"We go in and get them back." Logan told her.

"That's all well and good but with Siren you need a plan, or else we'll fail." Damia said firmly.

Logan rolled his eyes "Then what do we do?"

Rouge thought carefully about the situation. "If we do attack what's to say that ya'll don't fall under Siren's trance?"

"None." Damia replied solemnly.

"That's helpful." Logan muttered under his breath.

"We should find out more about Siren before we do anything irrational." Storm said matter of factly. The others nodded in agreement.

"What else can you tell us about her, Damia?" The professor asked the girl.

"She lived on the same island that I did, she was not exactly." Damia fought the tears from her eyes. "She was part of the government on the island, under my father. I suppose she got to the high position because of her powers. My father didn't trust her, and one day he had proof that she was unsuitable for being in the government. He had searched through files with the help of Marina, and found that she had murdered many people to get into certain areas of power, all over Greece and this was obviously another one of those acts." Damia sighed then continued "The next day when my father called a meeting to inform the others of her background. She was fired the same day. I was out of town during the time this was all going on; I had been visiting my aunt who lived in Athens. I had a flight home the day." hot tears fell from her eyes, she felt Rouge's hand on her shoulder. "When I came home, I saw my family; my mother, father, little brother, and older sister all had been slaughtered. I found out later what had happened and why, and I ran to you professor. That night I had come to you, I had barely escaped Siren. And now she's back for me."

"So it's revenge." Storm said softly.

"But that doesn't explain how you are immune to her." The professor pointed out.

"I told you that I was in Athens but that was after my father started his search for Siren's history. It took him a week to find all of her wrong doings. He had told my family about it at dinner the night I left. I was in Athens for a few days and when I came back and found what happened. I vowed that I would have revenge for my family, so being stupid I when to her house and tried to kill her, but it didn't go quite as planned. We fought and some of her blood was mixed with mine, but I doubt she would have ever wanted me under her trance anyway." Damia answered.

The professor nodded in understanding.

"But it still doesn't explain why she wants the X-men or Brotherhood." Rogue replied.

"Some sick plan." Damia told her.

"I wonder if her power can be ignored at all." Beast said aloud more as a thought than a statement.

"What?" Rogue asked him.

"Well, her power is strongest when she speaks, so what if we could drain her out." Beast pointed out.

"You mean like somehow make it that they can't hear her commands." Storm said.

"Precisely." Beast responded.

"What would we drain her out with?" Damia asked, it was a good idea but it would have to be really loud.

A smile crossed Rogue's pale face. "I've got just the thing."

"I thought you might." Beast replied.

Siren sat in a room, fiilled with her many belongings. The room was rather lavish, and it was very beautiful to behold. She had made the room as comfortable as possible, and she managed to do so. She had been living with Magneto and his men for over a month now. Her plan was almost complete. A smiled crossed her lips when she realized that the two things she wanted most in life were about to be hers.

There was a soft knock on the door, and she called them to enter. She smiled at the person, it was a boy with lovely blue eyes, and hair like fire itself. He was quite attractive, and she was happy that she had him under her spell for more than just his beauty. He was the means to which she knew Damia would come. She had watched the two at the restaurant, and she saw how the girl loved him, and she also saw that the feeling was mutual. ^^How lovely it is to break a young girl's heart.^^ She knew she would finally break the girl, when she saw that he was no longer hers. But, her plan was not just to hurt her enemy, which was just the bonus. She was going to conquer all mutants and put them under her control, and then she could have anything she ever wanted. She now had the machine that could wipe a mutant powerless, and repairs where being made on the machine to make the process permanent. The machine was for back up purposes only. If one of her little play toys suddenly managed to escape her hold she would wipe out there powers rendering them useless to stop her.

"My lady." Pyro said smiling at the woman.

Siren was brought out of her thoughts when he spoke but she didn't mind "Yes?"

"We await your orders." He replied.

Siren stood up and walked over to the boy, and caressed his cheek. "I have none at the moment for them, but for you."

"Yes?" John felt her hand slowly drift to his chest.

She kissed him, and pushed him onto her bed. The pleasure she received was both from him and the thought of how much this would kills the girl's soul when she found out.

The team, or what was left of it where on their way to rescue their friends. Logan was flying the plan and the professor was next to him. Storm had created a fog to cover them. Rogue and Damia sat in silence. Beast was in the back getting the equipment ready for the attack. When he was finished he came out to the girl's and showed them his new invention.

"Wear it around your waste. Logan will place these little devices " He showed them small black clips, "that will use the sound of your music Rogue and make it louder, giving you time to fight and save our team members."

The girls nodded in understanding. Both of them looked at the other.

Rogue gave Damia a small smile. "A'm sorry bout your family."

Damia gave her a weak smile. "Thank you. I just pray that we are able to save the others."

Rogue nodded. "A'm sure we will, we always win."
