Chapter 5: Breaking of the Prison

Disclaimer: I own nothing. Except Chi. Sort of.

Okay, so there was a question about what the "sama" at the end of "Magneto-sama" means. In the Japanese language (which I really don't know that much of), the suffix "-sama" is used as a term of respect. It's usually translated as "lord", or something like that. So think of "Magneto-sama" as "Honorable lord Magneto" or something like that.

By the way, Dil plans to write himself a story about his part in this story. Let's encourage him. "Yay Dil! You can do it!" ^_^

Enjoy the story!

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

Security guards accompanied Stryker in to Magneto's cell, where the three people were unconscious on the floor. Two of them carried out Xavier while a third removed Xavier's wheelchair. The one who remained looked over at me.

Of course, I didn't know this, since I was unconscious.

"What should we do with her, sir?" The guard inquired vaguely. Stryker looked down to me.

"Oh, I don't care." He frowned. "Do whatever you want, just get her out of here."

"Yes sir!" The soldier answered, pleased with the answer. He flung me over his shoulder and carried me out of the cell.

No big deal to me; I was still unconscious.

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

However, this guard was fairly intelligent. He noticed that the longer he carried me for, the less comfortable he became. If I had been awake, I may have figured out that he was in direct physical contact with an undampened electrical generator, so of course it would start to bother him after a while.

He couldn't even get me past the security checkpoint where I had left my stuff. He figured he was getting sick or something and propped me up against a wall across the room from the computer.

When he sat down at the security computer, it was acting strangely. In fact, it had been catching loose electrical waves since I had taken off my bracelets, and now it was in the same room as the source of said trouble.

Too bad I wasn't awake, or I may have fried it altogether.

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

It was a few hours later before I did start to regain consciousness. I had been intending to roll over and go back to sleep until I realized that I was not in my bed.

I heard footsteps approaching, and looked up enough to see the mean guard who had locked us in Magneto's cell come up carrying a tray of food. He seemed very pleased with himself, almost like he had met a beautiful woman in a bar the night before. He didn't notice me; he was too busy standing in the metal detector, waiting for clearance.

I used that moment to nudge a bit of electricity in to the computer, trying to spite them for doing this to me.

"You're clear." The guard sitting at the computer said, and the guard—Mr. Laurio, actually, but I didn't know that—went down through the pipe-ish tunnel-ish thing.

I decided that I was not going to just lay here and be helpless; I started to gather up electricity, being very careful not to move at all, lest I alert the guards.

After a few moments of silence, there came an incredible crashing noise from Magneto's cell. I took advantage of the guards distraction to leap up, zap the guards, get my stuff—which had been left lying out in the open, by the way—and run to the entrance of the pipe-ish tube-ish thing.

"Magneto-samaaaaaa!" I yelled while putting my accessories back on their proper places, then I started waving my arms around. "MAGNETO-SAMAAAAAA!"

He glanced over and noticed me. With a warm smile, he floated over to me, and formed a shiny metal plate at my feet.

"Will you be coming, Chi?" He asked, holding out a hand to me.

"You bet!" I answered without any hesitation at all, taking his hand and stepping on to the plate.

However, as the plate started to move, I wondered if this was really such a great idea after all. If magneto had been wearing his cape, I would have clung to it, but as it was, I found myself clinging to his sleeve, eventually ending up in a sort of terrified piggyback ride.

"I saw something like this on Planet of the Apes..." I commented nervously. I really don't think Magneto was enjoying this as much as he had seemed to at first, but he put up with it. At least for the moment.

What? You don't know what Planet of the Apes reference I'm making? It's where the guy is swimming with the monkey girl on his back, and she's just freaking out all over! ^_^; That's about it. Ja!
