Okay everyone! I got the third chapter set to write! And for Jade, the
Kietro version is Kitty Pryde and Pietro Maximoff. Not her double. I knew I
should've made that clear earlier. Oh well. I did it now. See, to tell you
the process, it first starts out a love triangle between Pietro, Pyro, and
Timber. During the love triangle, it's Lancitty with Kitty and Lance. After
Pietro splits out of the triangle, Kitty decides to dump Lance for
something that will happen in the future having to do with Timber. That's
when Pietro decides to try and get Kitty while the Pyro and Timber
relationship grows.
Chapter Three: The Dangerous Game
Lance, Timber, Johnny, Remy, Rogue, Scott, Jean Grey, and Professor X sat along the cherry wood polished meeting table. The lights overhead were dimmed a little, making everyone sleepy. After all, it was 9:00 and school was tomorrow. The whole time, Jean and Scott were discussing about a final tomorrow in Math until the professor called for their undivided attention.
"Now, as we have all witnessed, Timber's a mutant."
".Who's Timber?" asked Jean cluelessly.
Scott whispered something in Jean's ear. She nodded and let the professor continue on.
"Now Mr. McCoy has done a little research and found out that Timber," he paused and looked at Timber cautiously. "Has done a few past deeds with Magneto."
There were a couple gasps heard. Jean, Scott, and Lance looked at Timber with surprise.
"It was only two simple deeds, Professor." Responded Timber calmly.
Johnny and Remy looked at each other pleasingly at what they were hearing.
"She was the one who caused the meteor shower a month ago which destroyed maybe a small population of houses."
"Hey, at least it was a small storm!" Timber shouted.
The professor nodded. "Yes, I understand, Timber. And I believe you that you didn't know who to trust at that time."
Timber stayed silent. She didn't know what to say now that she knew she was dealing with a physic.
"Timber, if you would like, you can join the X-Men and become part of our team." Asked Scott politely.
Timber looked at Scott for a moment until Lance spoke up.
"Hold it, Summers. She's my sister so she's coming to the brotherhood with me!" demanded Lance.
"No," Remy stood up calmly and smirked at Timber. "I think she should join the acolytes. After all, she did already execute some missions for Magneto."
"Hey Professor. I don't think the two acolytes should even be in here." Requested Jean.
Timber just sat there looking confused as Rogue did the same.
"Yeah, Jean's right, Professor. I don't see why they get to be in here since they are the enemy." Seconded Scott.
Rogue then stood up. "Then why is Lance here?"
Scott turned to Rogue suspiciously. "Why are you suddenly siding with Lance?"
"Maybe because it's only fair!" she shouted back.
Soon enough more than three conversations started, confusing Timber enough. Quietly, she stood up and snuck out of the meeting room to get away from the squabbling.
**********
Timber sat outside in Lance's jeep trying to decide which team she should go on. Would she be okay with the acolytes? She did know Magneto better than Professor Xavier. But what about the Brotherhood? Her brother goes there and he's the closest thing to trustworthy family relationships for her. The X-men sounded alright to her too. Kitty, and Rogue, her new best friends, were in that team. Everything sounded all the same. Then the sound of a door opening and closing broke her thoughts. Timber turned to the door area and saw Johnny coming down the stairs and over to her. She smiled when he did the same and placed his arm on the door side.
"So what's a sheila like yourself doin' out here in the dark?"
She sighed and looked up. "I can't decide."
Johnny smirked. "Well then, I won't talk ya' into goin' to the acolytes. Seems like you're goin' under a lot of pressure."
"Yeah. It's hard. Lance is my brother. Magneto seems to be a really nice person. And most of my new friends are in the X-Men."
"What kinda' team are ya' interested in?"
Timber looked over to Johnny strangely. "I don't know."
Johnny sighed for a moment, thinking to himself. Finally, he came up with an idea.
"Hey, how 'bout I take ya' out for some fun? Say maybe, the arcade downtown?"
Timber looked to him for a moment and smiled. "The arcade?" she hopped out of her brother's jeep and followed Johnny over to his blood red mustang.
*********
They entered through the tinted black doors of the arcade and saw bright lights flashing wildly like it was a rave or something. Timber looked over to Johnny and walked over to a door that read: "Air Hockey Room. Enter with Caution."
"You wanna play, Johnny?"
He nodded with a grin. "You'll see why they call me Pyro."
They knocked on the air hockey door and watched the door open to reveal two girls covered in black powder with their hair frizzed out like poodles. Timber watched them walk out of the store as if they were drunk while Pyro walked inside.
"C'mon, Timber."
She quickly turned back and ran inside the room, closing the door behind her.
The room was filled with dry ice fog with black lights surrounding the whole arena that was probably half as big as Bayville High's gymnasium. In middle of the room was a large hockey puck and behind each of them was a large net that glowed a neon color. Pyro's was red and Timber's was green.
"Ya' ready?" shouted Pyro as he walked over to a switch.
Timber tipped her head to the side a little. "What's the switch for?"
A smirk came across his lips as he flipped the switch. He quickly ran back to his spot when several bursts of flames shot up along with water in a pattern. The floor beneath them shifted from gym floor to an ice rink, and the roof became a visible barrier of electricity. Timber's eyes widened in fear.
"What's going on?!"
Pyro laughed and waved his hands around a burst of flame, making it go closer to him.
"Remy and I come here to train everyday! Ya' should try it! A sheila like ya' would do good here!"
Timber put herself in battle position and nodded, letting Pyro know she was ready. He held a flame in his hand and with the other hand, he was moving his finger around it.
"Okay Pyro! Do your worst!"
At that moment, Timber wished she hadn't said that. Pyro aimed and threw the ball of flame right in the middle of the puck, knocking it quickly towards her. She backed up then felt her feet buckled down to the ground. Timber's silvery green eyes looked down frantically and noticed steel wirings wrapping around her feet. She looked back up and saw the puck aiming for her. She raised her hands and like a reflex, a burst of black energy shot out, making the puck fly through the air back over to Pyro again. Timber bent down and began pulling at the wires. But as she jerked back, an electric shock came through her body, making her shriek and fall straight on her butt.
"Pyro! I'm stuck! Stop the game!" she cried.
Pyro laughed, guessing she was just kidding. "Aw come on, that's what the wimps say!"
He threw another fireball at the puck, making it skid across the iced floor. When he looked over to Timber to see what she was going to do, he finally realized she wasn't kidding. She was pulling her legs with her hands, hoping to loosen the wires' grip on her and to escape.
"Timber!" he shouted moving forward a little.
She looked up and saw the puck coming closer to her every second she wasted. Timber's mind yelled at her to move or retaliated but she was too shocked and tired to move. When he noticed the puck was ready to smash into her and flatten her against the electricity covered walls, Pyro moved out of his spot and ran across the arena hoping to free Timber before she gets flattened into a pancake. As he threw a fireball at the puck from its left, the puck flew into the iced part of the wall. Pyro bent down and raised a hand nearest to a fire pipe. A stream of floating flames traveled over to his hand. He pointed at the electrical wires, making the flames burn them to break Timber free.
"Don't move, Timber. I don't want ya' gettin' burned."
He looked at Timber as he continued to point the flames to the wires. Her eyes were shining with fear as she tried to scoot farther away as she stared at the flame. Then it finally occurred to him, was Timber afraid of fire? He shook his thoughts away and continued to concentrate on burning the thick wires while listening to Timber sniffle. As Pyro and Timber sat on the iced floor, the puck regained its course and bounced off of the wall and started for them again. Timber's head turned slightly, making her scream.
"The puck! The puck is coming back!" she shrieked.
Pyro moved his attention away from the wires and flame then gazed at the spinning puck. He swallowed hard and began making the flames spin into a form similar to a drill. Timber began to panic more, making Pyro look up. When he looked at the puck, he noticed a flaming card fly right past it and crash straight into a switch that had the initials: DSM written on the top. There was a sudden silence as the puck started towards them faster. Timber screamed, putting her arms over her head as Pyro started to melt the ice around them. Suddenly, the floor underneath them moved, revealing a dark area below them. They both looked down and started fall immediately down the hole.
**Gasp** The suspense I put you through!! Sorry I haven't updated. I actually wanted to update on the same day I got the 2nd one done. But I guess not. Stick around for the next chapter!! REVIEWS PLZ!
