Confrontation

Angelica crawled out of the ventilation shaft. Alarms sounded all around her and she could hear explosions. I have to get out of here! Not to mention get some clothes on! She thought as she ran down the hall.

And right into Dr. Gombell. "YOU!" They both shouted.

"Angelica please listen to me…" Dr. Gombell said.

"Listen to you! That's a good one! Look where that got me! How could you do this to me?" Angelica asked. "To all of us! You're supposed to be a doctor! I trusted you!"

"I'm only trying to find a peaceful solution to the mutant problem," Dr. Gombell started to explain. "You have no idea how dangerous you are."

"So capturing kids to do experiments on them is your idea of a peaceful solution?" Angelica shouted. "And you think mutants are monsters?"

"You aren't a monster my dear," Dr. Gombell said. "Just a sick child who needs help."

"Yeah right!" Angelica snapped. "Too bad your friend's idea of help is a bullet to the brain!"

"All right! I admit Mr. Trask's ideas are a bit extreme but…" Dr. Gombell shrugged.

"A bit extreme? He wanted to dissect me alive!" Angelica shouted, rage growing within her. Her body was glowing.

"Angelica calm down!" He grabbed her arm.

"LET GO OF ME!" Angelica flared up. Not only did she burn his arm but also she accidentally set a blast straight to his pants.

"YEOW! HOT! HOT!" Dr. Gombell hopped around trying to take them off. "STOP! DROP! ROLL!"

Angelica screamed. The flimsy material of the gown she was wearing also caught fire. Although the fire didn't touch her skin it burned the gown to cinders almost immediately. She felt weak and dizzy and fell to the floor, passing into unconsciousness.
