Chapter Seven: Manipulator Of Gravity

The two mutants with the ability of being quick were continuing their inspection of the west wing. Pietro was leading Ada, who surprisingly followed. The silver haired boy was filled with internal conflict. Soon he would be leading Ada into a trap, and he didn't know if he could. His emotions were taking over quickly. For some reason he had feelings for an X-Geek. At first he thought it was just his taste for fresh meat, but now it seemed more than that. When she had kissed him in the theater, he not only enjoyed it but wanted more. Finally it was time for his decision, trap her or save her. As the two closed in on the place of capture, Pietro reached a fork in the road. To the left was Ada's imprisonment and the right her freedom. ^^Please forgive me. ^^ he thought. At full speed he imprisoned Ada in his arms and ran to the right hallway. In a swirl of stone colors, the two ended up in a bedroom. Surprisingly it still had a bed and some other things that had been left behind. The castle was huge so this room must have been left untouched.

Sprite looked at Quicksilver, a look of high confusion on her face. "What wa-?"

He sat on the end of the bed looking at his feet. "You-were-right." He replied.

She was still confused. "Right?"

"There-is-a-plan-and-I-just-saved-you-from-it." He told her. His eyes caught hers.

"You lied to me," She laughed a little bit. "I am so stupid. I swear." She headed toward the door.

Quicksilver stopped her. "What are you doing?" she asked.

"You can't go out there, they're looking for you." He told her.

"How do I know your not lying? This could be a trap." She replied dryly. She was so upset with herself for believing him. She grabbed the door handle, and turned it. The door cracked open a few inches. "You put on a good act Pietro, and I fell for it. Your little 'tell me a story', 'bite me', and 'I do care'. Bravo." She clapped mockingly. "You could win an Academy Award for those. But sorry, you're not getting one for this."

His hand was still on her arm keeping her; his grasp was firm and she could see that he wasn't letting go. She could see it in his eyes. Ada let out a long sigh, she was going to have to fight him. But something stopped her. His eyes; the emotion pouring out of them seemed so honest and truthful.

Before she could do or say anything he said softly and with a tone of pure honesty. "Please, trust me." and with those words she couldn't help but believe him. ^^He seems so sincere. Maybe he is telling me the truth.^^

She let out a small sigh and closed the door. "I'm going to regret this I know it." she muttered under her breath. She glared at him "What do you purpose we do?" Then a thought hit her. She had no idea what was going on, she didn't know the plan or anything. Somehow she was going to have to get Quicksilver to spill the beans. But, how to get him to? She searched her mind for ways of getting information. Her thoughts quickly went past reasoning them out of him, and asking nicely. So she decided to do what women were best at; seduction. Though she had no clue if it would work or not, she knew she had to at least try.

Quicksilver raised an eyebrow as he saw an odd look grace Ada's face, and as she strutted over to him like some sort of venomous but beautiful snake. He felt the space between them close as her body pressed against his. An inch of air served as a wall between their faces, and slowly the wall seemed to fade. As seconds passed he felt her hot breath against his skin as she kissed his neck. His eyes rolled to the back of his head in pleasure. Her hands slithered around him and he felt fingers caressing his ear, causing heat to rise up within him.

Ada herself was surprised at what she was doing to him, but knew it was for the better cause, even if she was enjoying the closeness between them. She was about to ask her question when she felt his lips press passionately against her own, and his arms wrap themselves firmly around her. Her mind lost site of the task at hand and onto the romantic scene in front of her. With a rush of the excitement of the moment the two found themselves on top of the bed that lay in the room. As the passion between them heightened with each passing kiss and caress Ada felt a surge of energy floe through her and she let out a loud moan. Pietro opened his eyes and they soon widened in confusion. The objects in the room seemed to be floating in mid air, as if they were levitating. He quirked an eyebrow and stopped what he was doing, and to his surprise when he stopped, the objects in the room collapsed onto the floor even the dresser, which was standing on its own feet seemed to fall to gravity.

Ada blinked, she had also witnessed the scene and looked at Quicksliver who was staring at her. "What was that?"

He studied her for a moment. "You're not telekinetic?"

She shook her head, and gave a nervous laugh "You don't think I did that did you?" Even though she had felt as though the pull on the earth itself had been centered on her as the objects both levitated and collapsed. ^^Could it have been me?^^

"What exactly is your power?" The thought had crossed his mind many time after his fight with her. He had always felt slower around her, but of course he would never admit it. It was rather confusing what she could do. Even his father had no idea what the center of her power was, and he usually knew everything about his foe.

"Well, I don't know. I just seem to be quick, and can walk on trees and stuff like that. Like those people did in that foreign film 'Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon'." Ada replied.

The speedster thought for a second, even though he wasn't a master on the mutant subject he thought he had an idea. "It looks like you can control the force of an object." He tried to explain.

"Huh?"

"If it comes up it can come down. Like a pulley or something." And then the word to explain it hit him "Gravity."

The single word hit Ada like a hard punch in the face. It explained a lot, how she was able to walk so high in the sky manipulating the forces of gravity to keep her in place and to give her more leeway, and it explained the objects in the room suddenly floating then crashing. Also it explained how she could keep up with Pietro, by causing the gravitational pull around her to lessen and thus running as fast as the speedster. She remembered that even the professor had been baffled by her mutation saying that it wasn't difficult for him to figure out the source. But was that real it? Gravity? There was one way to tell. If she could manipulate gravity then she should be able to hover in the air, and make Quicksilver hover as well. She concentrated on the task and closed her eyes. She heard a yelp and opened them quickly and smiled. Pietro had been right, she could control gravity. Sure enough Quicksilver and Sprite were hovering at least six feet in the air. With her test completed she let herself and Pietro land back lightly on the stone floor.
