Audience: Awwwwwwww.

Lyss: Oh, now you're enthused.

Remy: Remy always enthused, chere. -Waggles eyebrows suggestively-

Lyss: -swats Remy- Pervert. Hey, John. You were called a name in a review.

John: -reads the review- Hey! I am not a bloody idiot!

jareth-loves-robyn: Now don't take this personally, but you really need to get a girlfriend. That's creepy.

Surfer-Gurl: Nope, not dead at all. Just distracted. Alex will show up soon, I promise!

"X-Men, attack!" Cyclops' voice boomed, letting a laser emanate from his eyes.

*********************

The blast took everyone around by surprise, therefore causing mayhem. Lyss was also startled, so much as she let a small tremor erupt, causing her blue-gray eyes turn a brownish green with flecks of silver then back.

"No way! The brotherhood's here, too?!" Cyclops' voice could be heard.

Jean (Lyss: DIE!!!!!!! –stabs at Jean with a plastic spork-) laid her hand on Cyclops' shoulder. "Scott, I believe that was Alyssa."

The wind in the mall went stale. "How the heck do you know my name?!" Alyssa's eyes were now pure silver, the air gradually picking up speed.

"Zis iz wunderbar. De Prof. forgot to tell us she was a freaking elemental!" Nightcrawler said, BAMF!ing outta nowhere.

Shadowcat phased from her 'hiding spot' in a nearby American Eagle store. "Like, shut up, Nightcrawler!" The winds could now be classified as hurricane winds.

Remy put his hands on Lyss's shoulders. "C'mon, chere. Calm down, non?"

Lyss's eyes returned to their normal color as John began to absently flip his lighter, thereby, steering Lyss' attention to the pyromaniac. Her wings began to phase from her back, causing every one of the X-Men to stare in shock, especially Kitty, but she paid no heed to them. Her eyes were intent on John's lighter. Taking flight, Lyss swiped John's lighter, swearing to give it back. John merely whimpered. "Nobody attacks my friends and gets away with it." The venom in her voice could almost be seen dripping from her mouth as she lit the lighter and gathered a fireball in one hand, causing both of her eyes to turn the color of the fire she was holding with little silver flecks. Using some water from a nearby fountain, she gathered a ball of water the same size into the other, causing the eye on that side to turn the color of bright ocean water with streams of silver light reflecting off of it.

The X-Men began backing up as Lyss began to get the look in her eyes that they've seen Pyro get not too long ago. "Keep your guard up. She's bound to strike."

She then began firing the water and fire towards them, hitting them with fire first then water then fire again.

Cyclops's voice carried over the noise, "X-Men, retreat!" With that, the 'brave' X-Men fled from their second battle.

Lyss's eyes returned to normal as she let the fire go out while tossing John's lighter back to him, returned what was left of the water back to the fountain, and promptly passed out, Remy deftly catching her.

Magneto chose that moment to round the corner, brand new set of spoons under his arm. Seeing the charred marks and wet floor, he simply raised his eyebrow at his Acolytes, noticing how his niece was unconscious in Gambit's arms. "And what happened here?"

Looking up from staring at the angel (Seraphim, technically) in his arms, Remy only needed to say, "De X-Men, Alyssa fightin' dem off, her passin' out, an' me catchin' her."

Magneto nodded before motioning his Acolytes to follow him from the building towards the metal spheres. He opened his mouth to tell Gambit to put Alyssa in her own sphere, but decided against it seeing as how he was being so protective of her. "Let's go back to the base." They climbed into the spheres, the spheres closed, and they shot off into the air to Magneto's base off in who knows where. (Lyss: HEY! I'm a poet and don't know it!)
