Chapter Thirteen: The Girls With The Powerful Kiss
As the jet flew in the air, a memory came into Damia's minds eye. It was a memory that she had long forgotten about. It was when she had first found out about her mutant powers. She felt lost, like she wasn't herself anymore. She had thought that this would make her family afraid of her, and she would never be the same.
She remembered it was nighttime, she leaned over her balcony and her father had come to speak with her. Tears were falling from her eyes; she looked at her father who had a warm smile on his face.
"Giati eiote pou fonazete? (Why are you crying?)" He asked her.
She lowered her head in shame "Ayti i nea dynami pou echo. Den tha eimai pote o idios; kanenas tha me dechtei oposme. Den eimai pleon o idios. (This new power that I have. I will never be the same; no one will accept me as me. I am no longer myself.)" Her tears came down stronger.
He father put his arms around her and told her "Eiote Damia Eneas, tipota den tha allaxei panta afton. Tha agapitheite panta, kai avti i allagi sas kanei akoma to idio pragma, einai akrivos mia nea plevra sas pou prepei na anakalyfthei. (You are Damia Eneas, nothing will ever change that. You will always be loved, and this change still makes you the same, it is just a new side of yourself that needs to be discovered.)"
Damia's eyes lit up and she smiled for the first time sense she had found out about her powers. "Sas agapo pateras. (I love you father.)" She said as they embraced.
As the memory faded away and her eyes opened she said under her breathe "Eimai Damia Eneas. (I am Damia Eneas.)".
Rogue gave her friend a confused glare. "What?"
Damia shook her head in reply "Nothing."
They all sat in silence, except for the occasional commands given by the professor to Logan who was driving the Blackbird. It seemed like years before they heard the professor's command to get ready for landing. They landed smoothly and when the professor was sure no one was around they exited the jet.
"Where are we?" Logan asked, as he examined the surroundings.
"The same place the girls had been taken, but it seems this is a part of the area that we have not been to." The professor replied.
"Can you sense them anywhere?" Beast asked.
The professor nodded. "They seem to be in the center of the compound."
"Alright, let's go." Rogue started off, but was pulled back by Storm.
"Wait until Logan and Beast have hooked up the system for you're music." Storm commanded.
Rogue nodded. Beast and Logan headed off, and out of sight. They waited for them to return with the go ahead. The two had to set up the speakers around the building. When the two returned, after what seemed like forever and a day, they headed to where the others were.
"Okay, here we go." Rogue said before Wolverine and Beast tore down the doors in front of them.
The doors opened to show the Brotherhood, X-men. The removing of the doors had made enough sound to alert the people inside.
"Howdy." Rogue smiled, she moved to press the play button on the player, but Damia stopped her.
"Wait." Venus scanned the room, two persons were missing. "Where are Pyro, and Siren?" The question scared her. What did Siren do to John? She prayed that he was alive. Venus jetted into the room and out of it by a pair of doors on the other side of the room. Rogue followed her; they were in a dark hallway, with barely any light.
"Venus!" Rogue called out to her friend. There was no reply from her friend. But she saw a pink light fly at her, and she dodged it. ^^Gambit. ^^ The familiar figure appeared with an underhanded smile on his face.
"Bonjour chere." He said and threw another card.
^^Ah hope Venus finds Siren so we can get him back ta normal. ^^ Rogue thought. She got into a fighting stance, and readied herself for an attack. As expected he threw a handful of cards in her direction, which she barely dodged.
Venus heard the fight behind her but continued her search for the two. She knew Rogue could handle herself, even if it was against one of their team mates. She opened door after door only to find nothing. ^^Where are you? ^^ She knew they where here somewhere. She reached the end of the hallway, and the last door. She turned the handle and looked inside. It was the same room she had just exited from to find Pyro, and Siren. But this time the two missing persons where there. Rogue was fighting the brain washed mutants, she had turned on the music she had selected to drown out Siren's orders. It seemed to be working as a good distraction. But sooner or later it was bound to fail. The song was 'Overkill' by Metallica. It was definitely loud, not just because Metallica was a hard rock band but the speakers that had been placed around the area by Beast and Wolverine blasted the song at full volume. Thankfully, none of the members that had come with them to save the others had been brain washed.
Each member was surprisingly only fighting one mutant. The other mutants seemed to just watch and wait until the other failed. ^^They're up to something. ^^ Rogue thought as she stole Avalanche's power and caused him to fall to the floor.
Venus headed to Siren but was stopped by John, she had made up her mind that no matter what Siren was going down, and she wouldn't let anyone stand in her way. Even though she had made up her mind to do so, what her mind said and her heart said was completely opposite. "Stay out of this." She told him, she had to yell over the music.
"No can do." He yelled at her as he shot flames in her direction. They hit her, burning her flesh. He wasn't going easy on her. She couldn't fight him, for two reasons: One- she loved him, and Two- fire and earth don't mix. So, Venus ran in Rogue's direction.
Rogue was keeping Blob at bay with tremors. "Ah think they're up ta something." Rogue shouted in Venus's face.
Venus nodded and looked around. She searched for the speakers and found one, and the cord that connected it to the others. Unfortunately, ShadowCat had found them as well and ran at the cord. Venus threw razor sharp leaves at her friend but the girl just phased through them. Venus could only watch as Kitty phased through the cord causing the music to stop.
"Oh shit." Rogue said at the realization of what had happened.
Siren yelled "Seize them." And the mutants obeyed, she had now gotten the adults under her spell. Sabertooth grabbed Rogue's arms and held them behind her back, as Blob did the same to Venus. Siren walked toward the two girls, her hips swayed as she walked she made a gesture and Pyro came to her side. He took her hand and kissed it. Venus's eyes widened as she saw her boyfriend kiss her mortal enemy. She fought the tears, she wasn't going to let Siren she her cry.
"Well, it seems we meet again Damia." Siren smiled.
"What do ya want?" Rogue growled. She didn't like the way Pyro was over the woman because she knew it hurt her friend.
"I would have thought you had figured it out." Siren replied.
"No, ya stumped us." Rogue stated sarcastically. "All Ah know is that ya want those mutant power stoppers, and that ya got all of them under your spell."
"You disappoint me; I had hoped you were smarter." Siren sighed.
"We are." Venus yelled as she elbowed Blob in the stomach as hard as possible. But, it had little effect, he was to fat. All it did was cause him to loosen his grip on Damia. But, that was all she needed. She turned and jumped onto the boy willing the poison to form into her lips. ^^This is so disgusting. ^^ she thought as she kissed him into unconsciousness.
Rogue had a more difficult situation. Sabertooth wasn't the easiest foe. But she had managed to escape his hold by a swift kick to the groin. She then ran, pulling off her gloves at the same time, she headed at Nightcrawler. But, someone else go to her first; Gambit. Rogue smiled and gave him a kiss on the lips absorbing his power and causing him to become weak. She felt a hand touch her face, she turned instantly. It was Venus. Rogue gave her a confused look.
"Use my powers to cut them." Venus told "Get Jean out of the spell before anyone else. I'll get Siren's blood."
Rogue nodded. As she lifted her hands the sharp leaves cut anyone in her path. She ran to Jean, who quickly lifted the girl off the ground and into the air. Rogue threw more of the leaves at Jean, causing the telepath to lose concentration. Rogue the used Venus's power to tangle Jean up with vines. ^^Please God let Damia get the blood. Please. ^^
Venus managed to get past the obstacles in her way of Siren. When she was finally face to face with the woman, they began their combat. Siren leaped at Venus, causing them to fall onto the floor. The two rolled on the ground fighting. Siren kneed Venus in the stomach, knocking the wind out of her. She curled her knees over her stomach in a fetal position.
Siren laughed "It is so beautiful, you are so powerless child. Unable to stop me."
Venus managed to knock Siren off of her feet with a kick. Siren fell on top of the girl again but this time Venus had the upper hand, she concentrated and shot leaves at the woman. Because of there sharp ends and how close Venus was to Siren when she threw them they caused a deep gash on Siren's arm. Venus thought quickly as to how to obtain the blood. Siren was distracted by the other leaves the were being throw at her as Venus grabbed Siren's arm and bit down and sucked the blood into her mouth, and quickly ran to Rogue.
She wanted the blood out of her mouth as quickly as possible; it tasted like copper, and lead. When she finally reached Rogue and Jean, she cupped her hands and spat the blood into them. There was still blood left in her mouth. Rogue touched Venus's hand quickly getting some of the liquid, and pressed her hand against one of Jean's many wounds. The blood from Rogue's hand mixed with Jean's.
The telepath blinked a few times the asked. 'What hap-"
"No time we-" Venus was grabbed from behind. She felt flames meet her skin, and turned to face her opponent. She flew her razor leaves at him, but he burned them on contact.
Jean hold him steady. Venus told her.
Right.
Jean concentrated on the flame thrower's arms, putting them up and to the side. This gave Damia another chance to cut him, she threw her leaves but they where moved out of direction by a tremor created by Avalanche. Rogue leaped at him giving Damia another chance.
Hurry, he is fighting. Jean told her.
Damia ran over to Pyro and searched for an open wound. She found one on his lip, it was bleeding. She moved in and kissed him, the blood that remanded in her mouth mixed with his. When the kiss ended, Jean let go of her telekinetic hold. Venus stared at John waiting for him to respond. He did with an embrace and a kiss.
"You're back." Tears fell from her eyes.
John nodded; he was still a bit confused as to what made him act so strangely.
"Good, now we have to help the others." Venus said; she motioned to Jean to come over to her, and she explained to them on how to break the spell.
