Summary: Just read, by the way it's an amara/pyro fic.

Amara sat in an alley in her magma form, shaking and crying. When she had read the paper today an article had caught her attention. It was about the island she was from, wanting to catch up on her home she read it. In the article it described the death of the islands queen, Allison Aquilla, Amara's mother.

The article said that she had been murdered by an anti-mutant mob that had lived in the island but left after they had found out that they're princess was a mutant.

So here she sat, huddled in a corner in a dark alleyway with the newspaper article in front of her. She heard someone heading for the alley and tried to revert to her natural form but she was too upset to.

She huddled into a ball hoping that she'd just look like a small fire in the alleyway and people wouldn't realize that it was indeed a mutant.

She could tell that the person was looking at her and then she felt the weirdest sensation, like her body was shifting forms and changing. She realized that her body WAS changing and a loud 'eek' escaped her mouth before she could stop it.

The sensation stopped and her body immediately returned to its natural form, not the odd shape that this person, this mutant, had changed her too.

She could feel the person staring at her trying to make out her form to see if she was a person or not. Realizing that it was hopeless and that after that 'eek' that she had let out, the person would not leave.

She stood straight up and saw the boys eyes widen. She must look even weirder than usual with a steady stream of tears going down her magma face.

"Umm, what's wrong," the person asked oddly. She wordlessly pointed to the newspaper. He picked it up and read it.

"So this queen chick died and they don't know where her husband and daughter are, so what?" he asked. The newspaper article showed a picture of all three people. She tried to change her form so that she could show him who she was.

After a minute of trying she gave up with an irritated sigh and walked over and pointed to her picture. "That's me," she said pointing to the copy of herself.

His eyes widened after she said that. "Oh, well seeing how you're not made of fire in this picture I'm guessing that you have two forms," he said.

"Magma," she said. "Huh?" he asked. "I'm made of magma, not fire," she said. "Oh well, how about you change to your fleshy self," he said pointing to the picture. "I can't," she said. "Why not?" he asked. "I'm too emotional I don't have enough control to control my powers when I'm emotional," she explained.

"Well the calm down then," he ordered. "Listen here buddy," she said poking him in his chest, not caring if his shirt caught on fire.

"My mom is dead, my dad is missing, MY island has no one to rule it, I just found out that my mom was murdered because of ME and what I am, and I'm the princess here so if anyone gonna be giving the orders around here, it's gonna be me," she yelled.

The boy honestly looked shocked. Suddenly there was a ringing. Amara concentrated REALLY hard so that she could answer her cell phone. She finally did and grabbed her cell phone.

"Amara here," she said. "Rogue, hun, are you okay?" she asked a hysterical Rogue. Rogue quickly explained how she had accidentally touched someone at the mall and how people started to attack her. Amara got a look of pure terror on her face.

"Rogue, where are you?" Amara asked quickly. Rogue answered that she was in an alley near The Wave, a club in Bayville. "Okay, I'm coming to get you now okay, just make sure that no one saw you and have your gloves off just in case," Amara said. A couple of seconds later she hung up the phone.

"I have to go now, are you coming or not?" she asked. "Sure, by the way my name's John or Pyro," he said. "Amara or Magma," she said.

"So where are we going anyways?" Pyro asked. "My friend accidentally touched someone and people started attacking her so she's hiding in an alley near The Wave," Amara said.

"What's so bad about touching someone?" he asked. "When Rogue touches people with her skin she absorbs their life force, memories, thoughts, and in the case of mutants powers. She can't control it yet so she has to stay completely covered all the time," Amara explained.

"That's gotta suck," Pyro said. "Yeah everyone at the mansion is afraid of her. Well except for me, Mr. Logan, Kurt, Bobby, Jubilee, Kitty, and Jamie," she said.

They reached the first alley that was around The Wave and Amara shifted to her magma form so that she could seed won it. She saw the shaking figure of Rogue. She had bruises on her arms where it looked like someone had grabbed her. Obviously she hadn't wanted to take chances and didn't only take off her gloves but her net shirt as well.

"Rogue?" Amara asked. Rogue looked up when she heard her name. She was a mess. Her make up was running, she had a red handprint on her face that was probably going to be a bruise soon, and a busted lip.

"Amara, they won't stop talking, I keep trying to put my shields up but they won't work and they're all yelling at me," Rogue said crying as she held her head.

"Don't listen to them, whatever they're saying they're wrong, they all hate you because the self centered fools," Amara said pushing a strand of white hair behind her ear. "Who's this?" Rogue asked looking at Pyro.

"This is John a.k.a Pyro," Amara said. "I'd shake your hand or something but I'd probably kill you," Rogue said. "It's alright, hand shaking is overrated," Pyro said.

"How many people did you absorb?" Amara asked. "Five I think," Rogue said. "Damn, we need to get you to Jean or the Professor," Amara said. She reached for her cell phone and dialed the number to the institute.

"Hey Bobby, it's me, get Mr. Logan on the phone, Rogue's hurt," Amara said. 'Hey Mr. Logan, can you pick me and Rogue up we're in an alley near The Wave, Rogue got attacked after she accidentally touched someone at the mall. She's beat up pretty bad and she absorbed five people," Amara explained. "Okay, bye Mr. Logan," Amara said as she hung up her cell phone.

"Mr. Logan, Bobby, Kurt, and Jean are coming to get us," she told Rogue. Rogue nodded her head.

"I read the newspaper article, I'm SO sorry, I wish I could make them pay for you," Rogue said referring to Amara's mother's death. "Me too," Amara whispered.

"Do you know who the people that attacked you were?" Amara asked. "The Friends of Humanity or something, I think they were in on what happened in Nova Roma (I'm not sure if that's what the island she lived on was called or not)," Rogue said. "Their thoughts were so sick, and evil," Rogue said shaking her head as if she were trying to get rid of the thoughts in her mind. Amara hugged Rogue careful to avoid the Goth's skin.

TBC.. Next chappy Logan, Kurt, Jean, and Bobby arrive and we discover who Pyro works for (Magneto, duh)!!! Also Rogue had problems with the psyches I her head and the FOH target Amara.
