I am so sorry that I haven't updated in so long! I've been really busy, that's all I can say. Not a good excuse, I know.

~~~~~~~~Magneto's Base, Middle of Nowhere~~~~~~~~~

Alyssa opened her eyes only to close them again. Her head was pounding and she didn't like it… at all. Feeling a slight pressure on her left hand, Lyss looked to find the smooth talking Cajun watching her every move with worry etched on his face, only to be replaced by relief. Groaning at the light, she lifted her right hand to her eyes to try to block out the light. "What happened?"

Handing her some aspirin, Remy replied, "Y' used yo pow'rs de other day. Nearly wiped ya out, chere. Ya fainted after de X-Men left wit' der tails tuck'd b'tween dere legs. But luckily, Remy was dere t' catch ya." At the last part, Remy puffed out his chest. Alyssa let a small giggle escape. That was enough to get Remy going. He went into the particulars, altering it a bit to inflate his ego and to elicit a laugh, and sometimes a smart remark, from Alyssa.

Magneto walked into the room after about fifteen minutes of this, motioning for Remy/Gambit to leave when he had entered. After Remy had said goodbye to Lyss and walked out of the room, Magneto started. "Alyssa, what you displayed yesterday was, from what I heard, magnificent. I only regret that I was not there to witness it. That is why I would like to propose this idea to you: if anything were to happen to me, I want you to be the one to take over. If you aren't sure, I will give you a few days to consider it. I shall now take my leave." With that, Magneto left the room, only to be replaced by John.

Alyssa's mouth was wide open when John addressed her. " 'ello there, Sheila. Ya know, Oy think ya could catch flies wit ya mouth open loike that."

Shaking her head, Alyssa said, "Sorry, John. I kinda spaced there."

John chuckled and rolled his eyes. "Oy couldn't tell."

Alyssa swatted at him while laughing a little. "Hush. Now what did you come here for?"

"Only ta tell ya that if ya need any help…" John started.

Alyssa rolled her eyes. "And...?"

John smirked. "If ya need help, just ask…" John trailed off again.

She rolled her eyes again. "Just ask who? I swear to God, if you do that again, I will pop you upside the head."

"Remy." Alyssa threw her pillow at him while laughing. John narrowly dodged it, also chuckling.

"Oy'm serious, sheila. 'e's takin' quoit a shine to ya."

"I have reason to believe that he takes quite a liking to anything in a skirt, with no offence to him. That's just how his personality strikes me."

John shook his head. "No. Oy've seen 'im flirt with other sheilas, but Oy doubt that he'd sit by their bedside for a whole twenty-four hours, as 'e did with ya." Alyssa blushed at that.

"He did? How long have I been out?"

John rolled his eyes. "That's a little redundant, sheila. Oy just 'old you that he sat there the whole time ya've been loopy." He demonstrated this by taking his pointer finger and swirling it about his head. Magneto then walked into the room saying that he found another mutant and that Pyro was needed.

"Can I go, Uncle Erik?" Magneto was beginning to say 'no' when Alyssa pulled her puppy face on him again, thereby making him crumble.

"Fine. But if you get hurt, I don't know what I'd do." With that, Magneto left in a huff, leaving John and Lyss to laugh at what just transpired.

~~~~~~~~Atlanta, Georgia~~~~~~~~~

A young girl is seen running down the dark alleyways of Atlanta with her long chocolate-colored braid flowing down her back. She couldn't have been more than sixteen. 'I can't stop now, or they'll catch me. But I'm so weak. Too bad I can't use my powers. Maybe I'll just duck into that warehouse. They're a great deal behind me.' With that thought, Robyn Anderson ducked into an abandoned warehouse in time just as many footsteps were heard running past. "She went this way. Move it!" a voice said, thereby leading the angry mob away from the warehouse. Robyn let out the breath that she didn't even know that she was holding. 'That was so close.'

The metal in the warehouse suddenly started bending in distorted shapes, causing Robyn to panic. "Who-who's there? I warn you, I have powers and I'm not afraid to use them!" 'Oh like they'll be scared of that. Apparently they have powers, too. Think, Robyn, think!' A female voice was heard suddenly. "Knock it off, Uncle Mags. I think you scared her enough." The girl didn't sound too much older than Robyn herself was. Footsteps could be heard coming her way, and Robyn's muscles involuntarily tightened. The girl's voice could be heard slightly as in a whisper, "Men and their want to scare everyone."

Robyn snickered a bit, catching Alyssa's attention. Lyss smirked and continued to degrade the male gender in general, causing Robyn to snicker some more. Coming up from behind her, Alyssa said, "Hello." Causing Robyn to jump and shoot some water from her wrist to which Alyssa didn't have enough time to deflect before she got wet. "That's not exactly what I call a 'Hello' but it'll do. My name's Alyssa Triper. But my codename is Seraphim." The girl stretched out her hand, while the other one wiped the water from her face. Robyn was about to ask why she had the codename of Seraphim when she took notice of Alyssa's silver wings, six to be exact, coming from behind her.

Robyn's shaky hand eventually met Alyssa's, and Lyss shook it a little. Robyn jumped when a male voice heavily accented with an Australian accent, which Robyn thought sounded cute, said, "Will ya 'urry up, Lyss? Oy don't exactly 'ave oll day!"

Alyssa shouted back, "Shut up, John! Lord, you're just as bad as a little brother."

Chuckling could be heard from two other voices, both male, and the Aussie saying a none to polite 'Shut up' many times.

Turning back to the girl that they came for, Alyssa asked, "I gave you my name. May I inquire as to what yours is?"

Snapping out of her trance, Robyn replied, "Robyn. Robyn Anderson. And I don't have a codename… yet."

Alyssa laughed a little before saying, "I think you and I are going to be great friends." Helping Robyn up, Alyssa assisted her to walking to the entrance when a helecopter landing could be heard.

"Oh great. Not these jokers again." Robyn heard Lyss say, soon after, the warehouse door bursting open to reveal six people in spandex and a guy in a wheelchair. Calling out to them, Lyss said, "Ready to get beaten again?"
