RV: More longness!

"What are you doing to her?!?" I yelled.
"Fulfilling the prophecy.
Angels, fire
Distant flight
Golden rock
Darkened sky
Fiery ice
Blinding light
Bring forth a scar
Unknown sight
Emerge the mental power
Wilts the pretty autumn flower
Only love is stronger still
Between the choice- heal or kill
"It's simple. With you in the way, Milani's choice will be to heal and restore the world. Us mutants will be forced to live along with human lowlifes. Without you, all humans will die and we will rule," Magneto smiled.
I growled deep in my throat and lunged at him pining him down. "You're a monster."
Suddenly, Milani grabbed me by the scruff of my neck and threw me across the roof. If I wanted to stop Magneto's plan, I had to stop Milani from killing me. I quickly noticed Magneto had left us alone up here to fight to the death. I watched as Milani advanced toward me, her red eyes burning with hatred. I attacked first, fighting tooth and nail with every bit of strength I had. Of course, this made no difference. Soon I was covered in Milani's and my blood, mostly mine. Milani was way stronger than I was.
I stood up weakly and stepped up to Milani. I shifted back into myself hoping that if she saw the real me she'd break whatever spell she was under. I didn't work. With one final swipe, I fell to the floor. The last things I saw were Milani's golden eyes.
O_O O_O O_O
"Wha. what happened?" I asked placing a hand to my forehead. "Where am I?" I looked around at my surroundings. A dark, star filled sky was above me and blood covered me and different spots on the floor. Out of the corner of my eye I see a lump of blood and tattered clothes. "Amber?!"
I sprinted the short distance over to Amber. Placing two fingers on her neck, I checked for a pulse. It was weak but still there. *Thank god.* ~ Professor, Amber's injured, severely. I don't know how, I can't remember ~ I called telepathically to my mentor. ~ I don't know where we are. ~
~ We're on our way, Milani. Hunter should be there in a matter of minutes ~ Xavier sent back and our connection broke.
I sat there waiting with Amber's cold hand in mine hoping she'll live. In the distance, the screech of a hawk could be heard. I looked around desperately and noticed there hadn't been sounds of any kind of wildlife. I figured it had to be one of two people, Hunter or Mystique. *Please, let it be Hunter,* I think to myself as I called out to the bird mental. ~ Hunter? ~
The bird let out a cry of surprise. ~ Milani? Is that you? ~
~ Yeah. Amber's injured. I don't know what happened. I can't remember anything ~ I replied in saddened tone. ~ I need you to stay with her until the X-Men arrive. Stay as a hawk that way Magneto won't suspect anything. ~
~ I'll take care of her, 'Lani ~ he said landing next to me. ~ She'll be in good hands- er wings. Call me if you need me. ~
~ I will ~ I promised kissing his feathery head before running to the nearest door. I leapt down the first ten steps, shifting into a tiger in mid air. I ran full speed down the stairs and burst through the last door.
"Ah, Milani, I see you've completed your task," Magneto said approvingly as I returned to my blood covered self. "Come, we'll get you cleaned up."
I don't move right away. Instead I looked round the large factory-like building. The little cat-person-thingy was bugging a little blue haired man. The man couldn't have been more than three feet eight inches and he carried a seven foot staff. How he managed that I'll never know. The girl that had visited me and Amber in the cell was standing next to the little man laughing evilly as Deji Charat tortured him. Her eyes were the colour of blood and her hair was red and orange. With her hair and height, she reminded me of a large bonfire. I instantly don't like her.
"Mystique will give you some clean clothes and help you clean your wounds," Magneto said recapturing my attention. "Welcome to the Brotherhood."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait a second," I demanded holding up my hands. "What do ya mean by 'Welcome to the Brotherhood'?"
"Yo, you think the X-Geeks are gonna let you come back after you killed Silverwing?" an amphibian-like guy asked me.
"It's Toad, right?" He nodded. "Go take a bath. You smell like a toilet." He stuck his long green tongue out at me as he hopped away with the younger members laughing at him.
Magneto and Mystique shook there heads at the immaturity. The blue woman reached out and spun me around to face her. "Are you joining or not? If not I'd like to get rid of you."
I weighed my options: say yes and stall while staying alive or say no and fight my out getting severely injured or killed in the process. I decided to stall. Silently thanking the acting training I had received for my short appearances on television, I sighed, "Yeah, I'll join you. I just want two things."
"And what exactly would those be, babe?" Pietro/Quicksilver asked slinging his arm around my shoulders.
I turned to face him smiling sweetly. He grinned back. I punch him in the nose before he could do anything. More blood gushed on my clothes as his nose broke upon impact. I caught the smirk on Magneto's lips before it disappeared. Pietro cursed covering his nose. "I don't appreciate being called babe, sweetheart or anything along the lines of those, understand Quicksilver?"
He groaned and ran to the bathroom.
"What are your two requests, Ember?" Magneto inquired not even fazed by his son's broken nose.
"First of all, I want a new name and uniform. Second you keep your son and his little friends away from me," I said. "Do those simple things and I'll stay."
"I think you've already handled the last one. You'll get the new uniform tomorrow," he smiled proudly. "Mystique, go help Milani get cleaned up."
Mystique reluctantly led me through the huge building to a plain white bedroom with two beds. A girl slightly taller than me was lying on the bed closest to the door. She had short black hair cut in away that would have looked horrible on any other person but for some reason she could pull it off. She had on a red halter and black leather pants.
"You're sharing a room with Wanda," Mystique said. "Bathroom's in there. Get cleaned up then I'll stitch up your wounds."
"I can stitch myself up. Get me the supplies and a change of clothes," I said closing the bathroom door in her blue face. It hurt to peel off my torn and bloody clothes so I left them on as I stepped into the hot water. ~ Hunter, you and Amber still there? ~
~ Yes. Your professor said they'd be here in under an hour. ~ I was too scared to inquire after Amber and even more scared to know the answer. ~ Amber's fading fast, Milani. She's losing too much blood. The cuts on her look like they were made by a large cat. ~
Tears rolled down my cheeks mixing with the water and blood as they went down the shower drain. ~ I did it. Someone was controlling me. I don't know how or why. ~ Somebody knocked on the door. ~ I'll be up there in twenty minutes. Try to keep her alive. ~
~ Okay ~ was all he said before pulling away.
Shutting the water off, I peeled my wet clothes off and wrapped a large black towel around myself. I opened the door and was bombarded by a first aid kit and clean clothes. Mystique slammed the door closed.
In twenty minutes, I had stitched up two large wounds on my stomach and thigh and bandaged the rest. Fully clothed in a red spaghetti strap shirt and baggy cargo pants, I stepped out of the bathroom. "You wouldn't happen to have a belt would you?" I asked Wanda. She threw me a red one. "Thanks for the clothes."
She waved me away so I left. A fourth of the way up the stairs that led to the roof, I remembered I forgot shoes. Shrugging it off, I put the first aid kit into my mouth and changed my form as I leapt up the stairs. Bursting through the door, I began shifting back into myself. ~ Shifted back. I'll need your help ~ I ordered Hunter as a rain poured down. "Collect the water to wash Amber's wounds. Then I'll stitch them up."
He caught the towel I threw to him. "You sure you know how to do that?"
I lifted my shirt for him to see the stitches on my stomach. "I have more on my right thigh. Satisfied?"
"Sew away," Hunter replied raising his hands in defeat.

AW & RV: Some shout outs to our loyal reviewers.
Blondeness: (RV: Fighting Rules! Hee haw! Go Wolvie! AW: You're violent! Stay away! RV: *evil laughter*) More fighting and more ass whooping on the way! Of course violence must be balanced with love so yeah there's gonna be- er there are pairings. Review some more! I was kinda happy yet disappointed with X-Men: Evolution's ending. Didn't want Rogue to smash Mystique yet kinda glad she did but I feel sorry for Kurt.
Ice Lynx: (RV & AW: SHUGA! YEAH!) Glade ya liked the codenames and love the fic! A doggie named Rogue?! Send me, RogueVampyr, a pic of it if you can. I am reading a story of yours off and on however I have yet to catch up on the chaps but I'm workin on it.
