Prologue

AN: This is the sequel to Alexia. Takes place one year later after the events of Alexia and is AU from the show. So Alexia is now 18 years old.

Alexia hated being in the underground for the last year. She decided to have some fun tonight. Fun was being able to dance and feeling like she was 18 years old again, instead of being trained as a new mutant and a living weapon.

She was a new mutant like her brother. She didn't have her brother's abilities. Being able to control and manipulate water was very useful, but it left her so dehydrated.

Dehydration was something she had to be very capable of. Maybe in time, as her powers evolved she wouldn't feel so dehydrated all the time. God, this music was so boring. It was like being trapped in an elevator. Then the music stopped for a second or two and cool stuff began to play.

Ah, something she could dance to, at least. Getting up, Alexia danced to the beat of the music. This felt really good and fun. Then she felt someone's warm hands around her waist. She turned around and saw his face. He had the most beautiful eyes, Alexia thought to herself.

"My name's Alexia, what's yours?" She asked the man who had his hands around her waist.

"Hmm..." He whispered, delicately kissing her earlobe while caressing her stomach with his fingers. "What a beautiful name for a woman. My name's Gabriel." He told Alexia.

"I assume you're the one who changed the music. Thank you..." Alexia arched her back against Gabriel.

Gabriel then moved one of his hands down her legs and slowly began to gently to guide her in synch with him. "You looked bored and I wanted to dance with you."

"Hmm..." Alexia purred in his ear. "I think this is a much better way to meet don't you, Gabriel."
She slowly thrusts her hips up against his.

"Yes, I do. Alexia, I think you're beautiful and extraordinary. You see I look for the extraordinary as well." He told her.

"Meaning what?" Alexia said as he dipped her and her face was near his.

He laughed. "Oh you are so very innocent Alexia. I can show you things that you wouldn't believe."

Alexia laughed back. "I don't think so. You see Gabriel; I'm not as innocent as people would like to believe that I am. I know the world is a dangerous place."

Gabriel then seductively said, "Yes it is, Alexia. You and me are not like ordinary people. I see your potential, even if others don't see it in you. Let me help you nurture it and make you have more focus on your abilities." He said.

Alexia looked confused, but was still feeling his hands on her body and she ended up loving it. "What are you talking about?"

"I know that people like us are special. Come here if you have any questions." He said leaving her card with the word "Strand" on it. He just disappeared.
