Chapter Fourteen: Revenge

"Bloody hell!" was the response from Pyro about the influence he had been under. He remembered all he had done, and he wasn't too proud of it. He decided he should tell Damia, but at a different time and place, since they were fighting left and right.

So far Venus and Rogue had recruited back Jean, Pyro, Cyclops, Blob, Avalanche, Gambit, Spyke, Wolfsbane, Boom Boom, and Multiple. Because Rogue had absorbed Venus's power it helped her to recruit more of the team. As of the moment Rogue had her eye on gaining back the professor with the help of Cyclops and Jean. He threw psychic blasts to each of them, causing memories of their past to form, and distracting them. This worked on all except Rogue, who had so many memories that she had been sorting out, with his help that it didn't have the effect it did on Scott and Jean. Rogue managed to absorb Jean and she used the girl's telekinesis to hold the professor while she mixed his blood with Siren's. The blood was kept in its form by Jean's telekinesis holding in a telekinetic box, which Rouge had used while the professor had distracted Jean.

The professor massaged his temples to regain control. When he came back he smiled at Rogue, and the two others that had helped free him from Siren's hold. "Thank you. Now we must get the rest of the team."

The team fought against their team mates reluctantly, knowing that it was their only option. Even with the professor on their side the others were to strong. Storm had enclosed them in a cage made of lightening. The professor couldn't reach her with his mind, because she had mastered her mental shielding. The other brain washed mutants formed a circle around them. It was a hopeless situation.

"What are we going to do?" Multiple asked the professor.

The professor gave the boy a weak smile, even the world's most powerful telepath was at a loss.

"We fight." Cyclops told the boy firmly.

Boom Boom absorbed her surroundings and questioned the team "Anyone have a plan?"

"Venus yak know everythin bout this woman, any suggestions?" Rogue asked her friend.

Venus sighed, and said as plainly as possible "We kill her."

Everyone looked at her with surprise, except the professor and Rogue who knew why she would say such a thing.

Even with the pain he knew Siren had caused her, he told the girl "The X- men don't kill."

Pyro was shocked by her suggestion, and figured maybe it would be a mistake to tell Damia about his "meeting" with Siren.

Jean read Venus's mind to find the cause for her answer, and when she found out she felt the pain the girl felt. Pyro's thoughts had crossed her mind and her eyes widened when she heard his thoughts.

I would most definitely keep that to yourself. Jean told him.

Huh? Why are you-? He didn't like his mind being hacked.

Trust me, Siren and Venus go back, and it isn't good. So under no circumstance tell her. Jean's telepathic voice was firm.

John just shrugged a bit confused but he decided Jean was right. There was more to this than he knew.

Venus just stood still, not moving. Finally she spoke. "I am sorry professor but I must break that rule." She lowered her head.

Professor Xavier looked at the girl with compassion "Venus her actions will find their punishment. Don't bring-"

Her eyes met his and she gave him a cold stare "I did not ask for your permission. She will pay. I will have my vengeance." She fought the tears from her eyes, and turned her back to them. ^^How can they understand? She killed them all, leaving me alone without them. ^^

Rogue put her hand on Venus's shoulder, and turned the girl to face her. Rogue had absorbed Jean so she was able to read the girl's mind. "Ya aren't alone any more."

Venus smiled "I know, but I must do this." She turned to face the whole team, and told them "We will fight, but leave Siren to me. I do not care if she gets in your way, you leave her to me. Does everyone understand this?"

Everyone nodded, including the professor; he knew he would be unable to change her mind.

The figures on the outside of the lightening cage moved aside as Siren walked toward it. The lightening subsided and the mutants still under Siren's spell took hold of each mutant from the cage. Siren smiled as she saw the team on their knees, with their hands held behind their backs. The woman motioned to Quicksilver who held Venus, the speed demon came forward with the girl. All the others could do was watch.

"You have no idea the happiness that runs through me at this moment." Siren said her gaze on Venus, who just gave her a death look.

"You will suffer for eternity; Hades will make you suffer as he makes Peirithous suffer." Damia told the woman.

Siren laughed "Peirithous was a fool, and I will not suffer his fate." She leaned close to the girl making sure that she could hear her every word. "But, you my dear will suffer more than any on earth or in the underworld."

"Leave her alone!" Rogue shouted; she did not want anymore pain inflicted on her friend. She knew of the day Damia found her family slain because she had seen it. Damia's memories were still fresh in her mind, and she felt pity for her. "Ya have caused enough pain fer her!"

Siren glared at the striped haired girl "Shut her up." She told Sabertooth who held Rogue captive. He gave her a fast kick with his foot to her side; you could hear the crack of her ribs.

"Rogue!" Gambit struggled to go to the girl, but he too was held captive. He concentrated on the glove on Wolverine's hand. The man's glove turned pink and exploded letting Remy run over to Rogue. He grabbed the girl from Sabertooth by hitting the man with his pole. Gambit held Rogue in his arms, and took some cards from his pocket and charged them challenging anyone who came near the two.

"Let them alone." Siren commanded, she returned her attention to Venus. "When I am finished with you, you'll pray to the gods for death. But, do not worry it will come; slowly." A sick smile formed on the woman's face. Venus looked away.

Siren walked over to Pyro, and caressed his cheek. Pyro eyes widened and he prayed she wouldn't say anything. "I can see why you have such feelings for him. He is beautiful, charming," Siren's eyes glanced down at his pants. "and very good in bed." Pyro's heart sank when he heard the woman's words. He just lowered his head in shame.

Venus's eyes widened when Siren said those cruel words, and as the realization of what the woman meant dawned on her the girl's heart broke instantly. Even though he had been under the woman's trance, it still killed her inside. This was her enemy, the person she hated most, and the person she loved so dearly had slept with her.

"Do you remember your younger brother? What was the boy's name?" Siren asked with distain.

"Ajax." Venus whispered at the memory of her little brother. She knew where this was going. She would not let Siren see her cry.

"Yes, little Ajax. What an annoying boy, he wouldn't stop screaming. He wailed as I killed your parents and sister. I was so happy when he was dead, his crying finally stopped."

Damia was silent she would not give the woman any pleasure with a reply.

Siren continued "Your father pleaded for me to not hurt the children like an infant crying for its mother's milk. What a sorry excuse for a man! He was easily killed though, only a slit to his throat and he was dead. Your mother-"

"ENOUGH!" Pyro roared "Stop it, your hurting her!"

Siren looked dumbfounded at the boy and yelled at him "That's the whole point you idiot! Shut them up!" The captives where gagged in unusual ways, Cyclops by Wolverine's claws to his throat, Jean's jaw was held shut by Beast's strong hands, and in any way the brain washed mutants could think of to keep the person silent, event if it meant knocking them unconscious. She turned her attention back to Venus. "As I was saying your mother didn't cry or say a word she was silent, she tried to shield the children. What an idiot, like she could stop me?! Your sister Helen on the other hand put up a little fight. She gave me a black eye, but it was nothing to what I gave her." Siren grabbed Damia by the neck and pulled her up off the ground. "Death. The only thing I regret about that day is that you where not there. But I will settle that now, once and for all!" Siren threw Damia against the metal wall; an indent appeared at the spot she had landed upon. Siren ran at the girl, she pulled a dagger from her belt.

Professor! Damia cried to him.

Yes? he didn't know any other way to reply.

Tell Spyke to throw a spike at the metal part of the wall, not at Siren but at the wall. she told him.

This was the one time Charles Xavier ever thought an enemy deserved to die, and he knew that Siren deserved death. I don't think he is able to throw one he is held up at the-

Please do it.

Siren put the sharp end of the blade against the girl's throat, but Venus head butted her, causing the woman to stager back. Her henchman moved to help but she gestured for them to stay back; giving Spyke the opportunity to throw a Spyke at the metal wall. The others that where able to get lose began to fight against the enemy. Pyro ran to help Venus but she yelled at him to stay away.

As Siren regained her ground she saw that Venus held a spike in her hand. She tried calling to her henchmen for help but they were busy fighting the others that had escaped her grasp. So Siren had to do this herself. She ran at the teen her dagger aimed at her target. Venus kicked the dagger from Siren's hand, and it flew five yards from where they fought. Siren returned the attack by squatting and knocking the girl's feet from under her. Damia crashed to the floor with Siren kicking her in the side, but Damia wasn't going to let any bruise hurt her. Venus did a back flip to get back onto her feet. She got into a fighting stance prepared for Siren's next attack. The woman leaped high into the air and readied herself for a kick at the girl's face. The kick hit its target but caused Siren to lose her balance and fall on top of Venus. They rolled on the floor fighting. Siren spotted the dagger; Venus had dropped the spike when Siren had knocked her off her the first time. The woman got up but was pulled back down by Venus who spotted what the woman was after. Venus used all her strength to keep Siren from the dagger, and at the same time concentrating on the vines she had called upon to bring her the dagger. When the green plant had grabbed hold of the dagger, Venus called it to her, and pushed Siren away so she would be able to get the weapon first. When Venus finally had the dagger in her hand she felt a fist punch her back. Painfully Damia turned and lunged at the woman the dagger thrust into Siren. Venus's eyes widened when she saw what she had done. The woman looked up at the girl in shock. Damia smiled at the woman, moving closer to her the dagger still inside of her.

"Eimai Damia Eneas, kai apo to cheri mou pethainete. (I am Damia Eneas, and by my hand you die.)" Damia said her eyes locked on Siren's surprised face. At that she drove the dagger deeper yanking it up to Siren's chest; Siren fell back dead. Damia's hands were covered in blood. She just stood still staring at the lifeless body of her enemy.

"Aytos itan gia sas. (That was for you. i.e. her family.)" She said with her eyes closed, tears fell from them freely.

The mutants that had been under Siren's spell were now back to normal. Everyone saw Siren's lifeless form and the blood on Venus's hands. Rogue and Jean were both crying, and went over to the girl. Rogue took hold of Damia's arm and turned her away from Siren's body. The girl followed Rogue obediently and the X-men team, along with Pyro got onto the blackbird and headed home.
