A/N: Yay a new story! Erm . . . oh yea I guess I should just say that these characters don't belong to me, BUT ONE DAY THEY WILL!!!! I can dream! I'm going to attempt to make this humorous as well as angsty, if that works fine! If not then *Raspberries*.
She brought her snowboard to an abrupt halt, pulling a file out of the backpack she was wearing. Scanning through the files to prepare herself for what was likely to come next. She double checked the location of the base and then pulled out a compass to check her location.
She had easily acquired the files several hours earlier from the computer mainframe that was hooked up to cerebro, at the Xavier institute. Each one was full of useful information about the base, and its occupants. They held the exact location and a detail account of how to get there, with the least amount of effort. She had also pulled from the computer, a detailed 'stats and vitals' file on each of the people currently living/working there.
Flipping through the folders she took one quick look at the security systems, they were on a simple binary system, probably because finding them was so hard. She knew that she could easily override it, if need be. She suspected however that her presence would be quickly picked up on and she would be taken to who she wanted to see.
Jumping to twist her board to face the hill side on she proceeded towards a thick forest of trees, that she was fast approaching. Skilfully avoiding them she tried to stay close to the ground, to avoid the lower branches of the trees and to prevent anyone from noticing her.
Once out of the pines she almost ran into the side of a large metal dome that she was looking for. It being only a couple of meters away from the forest edge she had barely had time to think about turning out of the way as it had appeared so fast.
Feeling her way around the outside of the dome she searched for the hidden entrance that the files mentioned. After a while she had found it and walked straight in, dumping her skiing clothes outside, knowing that they would not allow her much of an advantage in battle if it was hard to move. So she just wore a black body suit, with a tight black polo necked jumper over the top. She also wore a pair of black gloves and black metal plated boots.
As she walked along the corridors she began to hope that the first person she would walk into would be Magneto. She knew he was most likely to ask questions and then attack her, if she posed a threat or if she wouldn't answer him. The Lackeys thought were sure to attack her as soon as they saw her in their territory.
She had almost reached the central core of the dome's maze of tunnels, the place she was most likely to attract Magneto's attention from. When a boy who looked around her age walked out of a room and into the corridor, coming face to face with her.
"Hey! Now what's one of 'em Sheila's doing in the enemy's base?" He droned in a thick Australian accent while withdrawing a lighter from his pocket. 'Pyro!' She thought absently, she didn't answer his question or even say anything. She just did a flying pop kick aimed at his hand, the lighter was knocked out and flew across the hall, before he had time to react.
She then swiped his legs out from underneath him and he fell heavily and quickly on to the floor. Hitting his head, hard, on the metal walls as he fell the last thing it hit was the floor. Silently walking over to him she checked him over. He was out for the count, which meant there would be no need for her powers. Picking up the lighter she pocketed it in her belt and continued her journey.
"Hey hommie? What's takin' so lo . . . ." She heard the voice coming from the room she had seen Pyro leave. 'Crap! So should have run!' she mentally smacked herself as she turned to look at the new competition.
She watched him as he slowly turned too face her, retrieving a retractable Bo staff from his pocket as he did. His eyes finally settled on her and she almost gasped as she saw the glow they emitted. She quickly began to remember what the files had said about this one, acrobatic and sneaky. 'Thank god I lost the ski gear near the entrance!' She thought.
He charged at her with his Bo staff and she easily flipped over him, sending her boot crashing into his lower back. Knocking him far from her and allowing her ample time to turn around and do a flying kick into the back of his head making him stumble forward even more.
He turned back to her and began to twirl the Bo staff, showing how well he could handle it. She made every attempt she could to evade his attacks and get her own in. Occasionally the Bo staff would make contact with and unguarded part of her body. Eventually both of them stepped back and gasped for air.
Taking her only chance she leapt at him and tackled him to the ground. Where she ended up landing on top of him. He used his Bo staff to try and throw her off him but as he found she was pushing down on it with equal force neither was going to move. His eyes burned into her own and the both glared at each other.
Her expression quickly changed into a smirk and she slowly began to lower her face towards his, as he began to move towards he his pressure of the Bo staff lightened and she slammed it down onto his windpipe. Smirking in satisfaction as he began to franticly gasp for air.
Both were too busy to notice the figure that floated over to them. Their attention, however was quickly gained as the figure spoke, "That is more than enough, from both of you!" The voice boomed from out of the shadows.
