That night, Kalli and Remy hung out in her room. Kalli was in no mood to come out and eat. So Remy stopped by with a tray of food, which Kalli picked at. She and Remy had gotten down to talking. Kalli told him about her life back home and told the hillarious tales when she hang out with the friends she had before their discovering she was a mutant. Remy interested her with the things he did before he joined the Brotherhood. The night ended with a kiss on the hand from Remy and a friendly smile from Kalli.
Kalli was laying on the bed, looking up at the shiny-metal ceiling, just minutes from waking up. She had just woken up. Idget lay at the foot of the bed, looking at her. Kalli sighed and picked up the locket that lyed on the nightstand, bringing it in front of her and looked at the inside. The woman inside peered out at her, her stormy grey eyes alight with happiness. In the other frame, was a picture of herself as an infant. All these mixed emotions swarmed Kalli: confusions, anxiety, some anger. 'Soo..Dad lied. She didn't die giving birth to me. Something must've happened to her that he didn't want to tell me..'
A knock at the door interrupted Kalli's thoughts. "Chere," said a fluent French accent. She looked up and saw Remy standing in the doorway. "Magneto wishs to zee vous," Kalli groaned as she got up and walked towards him. Idget jumped off the bed and followed. Remy held out his arm for Kalli to take, and continued down the hall towards Magneto's "office". Idget trotted along their side. For some reason, Kalli had the jitters. Remy felt her tense. "It's okay, chere. Remy is here. He won't leave vous." He patted her hand and gave her a reasuring smile when she looked up at him. Kalli exhaled deeply and gave him a feeble smile. "Ah, now 'dat's better. Vous smile is beautiful,"
They came to the door at the end of the hall and Remy opened it for Kalli, who stepped inside. Remy followed in behind her and led her over to Magneto's desk, where he was seated behind with a content look upon his gaunt face. "So, you have recieved the gift Remy has given you for me?" Magneto looked up Remy, who nodded. "Good. There is a story behind the woman who wore that before. Her name was Blaze. If you've guessed already, which I know you have, she was your mother. She was an extraordinary woman, very strong-willed and stubborn. Unfortunatly, it was an accident that cost her her life."
Kalli tensed up, her anger started to flare. The stormy pools of her eyes began to rage at the tone Magneto used when speaking about her mother. Like she was nothing but scum on the bottom of his shoe. Magneto sensed her anger, but continued to speak in his airy tone. "But besides that fact, she was a wonderful person. She had arrived here, the same way and for the same reason when you arrived at Xavier's school. Her husband, your father, hit her, too. But we took her in, and gave her a place to stay. But with time, and my patients dying out, I had no choice. I needed to test her will. With the medicine she needed to take, she would be able to control her powers the way Xavier couldn't. The medicine she took added fuel to her fire, let's just say. Which it did, but the medicine had a bad affect on her body. It was like a cancer, it ate at Blaze's insides. She died from internal bleeding."
Kalli started to shake with anger as she glared at Magneto. Kalli still had a hold of Remy's arm, and squeezed it hard without realizing it. Remy winced and tried to pull his arm back, but she had such a strong hold on it. "Accident my ASS!" Kalli screamed. "YOU INTENDED ON HARMING MY MOTHER! AND I KNOW THAT YOU KIDNAPPED HER! IF MY MOTHER REALLY RAN AWAY FROM MY FATHER, SHE WOULD'VE TAKEN ME. IF MY FATHER, IN FACT, HIT HER, THEN SHE WOULDN'T'VE LEFT ME! YOU ARE A LYING SON OF A BITCH, 'CAUSE I CAN FEEL IT! WHY THE HELL WOULD I BELIEVE SOME COCK-AND-SHIT STORY LIKE THAT?!" Idget cowered next to her and wimpered. Kalli took no notice.
Magneto blinked. "Well, it seems you have inherited Blaze's temp-" He stopped when he saw a spark appear in Kalli's left hand, the other hand gripped on Remy's arm started to spark as well. A moment later, Remy sleeve caught on fire. Kalli let go of his arm in surprise. The sparks in her other hand disappeared. Kalli watched Remy flap his arm to get rid of the flames. Idget barked. A smile crept across Magneto's face.
"Oh, shit.." she grimaced. She concentrated on the flames, then they were gone. Kalli stood shocked, as did Remy. He looked up at her, his red pupils were wide like silver dollars.
"Oh, shit," he said. Kalli gritted her teeth nervously.
"Sorry.."
"It's alright, chere..Just an accident," the Cajun wiped at his sleeve.
Kalli sighed in relief, but turned back to Magneto. Her anger was rising again. "What the hell do you want with me? How did I strike your attention all of a sudden?" Her stormy eyes raging.
Magneto still smiling and held up a skinny finger. "One thing.."
"So, her mother was kidnapped and experimented on by Magneto? Like what those military people did to Logan?" asked Rogue. Kitty, Kurt, Rogue, and Storm looked at Professor Xavier, shocked.
"Well, he had planned on enhancing her powers. Apparently, the medicine was too powerful for her to handle. Because her powers went out of control, her flames got too big for her to handle and set the lab on fire, and she died in it." Charles explained.
Kurt flinched. "So, vat does Magneto vant vith Kalli?" Charles shrugged.
"I'm not entirely sure," he wheeled over to the window. He looked out at the garden, watching the pupils outside enjoying a game of frisbee or swim in the pool. A glimmer caught his attention and saw Pyro flick his silver Zippo lighter open and close. Then it dawned on Charles..

A/N: RAAH! Short chapter.. I hate myself. V_V;; Another cliffhanger. Din't mean to, just happened that way. *sigh* Well, the reason I hate myself is because I'm starting to get another writer's block. And I'm starting to slow down on chapters because ideas aren't coming at me as much anymore. I wanna get this chapter done by the end of this week. But I still haven't figured out why Magneto wants Kalli, and what "dawned" on Prof. X. Raah..THROW FLAMES MY WAY! I deserve it...V_V
