Controlling powers part 5
Meeting Emma
Scott was just about to leave the house when Jean stopped him.
"What are you up to?" Jean said leaning towards him.
"What? Nothing." Scott said playing with his car keys.
"I know you Scott, you and Wanda don't get along." Jean said snatching the keys off him.
"Yeah well" Scott started.
Jean raised an eyebrow. "Don't even bother lying to me."
Scott sighed "Look we just agreed to get along okay?"
Jean narrowed her eyes a bit. "Okay, but be careful okay?"
"We'll be fine" Scott said kissing her then grabbing the keys off her.

Scott and Wanda drove down the road towards New York.
Scott put the radio on which was blaring some pop song.
Wanda looked up at Scott. "You've got to be joking?"
"What I like this song." Scott said looking at Wanda.
"What ever." Wanda said then flicked her hand, which made the radio change station.
"What the?" Scott said looking at the radio. He tried to change it back but every time
he tried to change the station it went back to the same station.
"Wanda?" Scott looked at her "Did you do something to my radio?"
"No!" Wanda shouted then one of the tires exploded.
The car swerved a bit, but Scott managed to get it onto the side of the road.
He stopped then turned to look at Wanda. "Is there anyway you can stop blowing things up on accident?"
Wanda gave him a glare, as he got out of the car to change the tire.
"Man this is going to be a long day." Scott said opening the boot.
------------ --------------- ---------------- ---------------- --------------- --------------- ------------ ----------------
"Sir they have been located and are on their way." The man said to his leader.
"Very well we should be prepared," The leader said.
-------------- ----------------- ------------------ --------------- --------------- ------------- ------------ -----------------
Scott parked the car up outside the house. "Okay let me start and you follow okay?"
"Why can't I start?" Wanda asked being argumentative.
"I've done this before, you haven't so for just this one time listen to me." Scott said walked to the door.
Scott knocked on the door a butler answered.
"Yes Sir?" The butler answered.
"Hi, does Emma Frost live here?" Scott asked eyeing the butler up.
"Yes, would you like to come in" The butler asked walking back into the house being followed by Wanda and Scott.
"Scott don't you think it's weird he didn't even ask our names?" Wanda said looking at the room around her.
"Yeah, it was." Scott said watching the butler walk out of the room and close the door.
Then suddenly they could hear gas. "Is that gas or something?" Wanda asked panicking.
Scott sniffed "Knock out gas."
Wanda and Scott tried the doors but nothing worked they were jammed.
"What do we do?" Wanda asked coughing.
But by the time she'd finished her sentence both of them were unconscious.
The gas cleared and the doors opened. A man stepped in followed by two teenagers.
"So what you gonna do now dad?" The male teenager asked.
"I think Mr Summer and Miss Maximoff need to know not to bother Emma." The man said.
----------------- ---------------- ------------------- ---------------- --------------- -------------- ---------- ----------------
Jean looked at the clock noticing how late it was. Something was wrong she could feel it.
Kurt ported into the room in front of where Jean was sitting. "Is Scott and Vanda back?"
Jean shook her head. "They've probably killed each, don't worry."
"I'm not vorried about Vanda's safety more for Scott's." Kurt said sitting down next to Jean.
"I'm sure they're fine." Jean said to him.
------------- ------------- ------------ ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------ ----------------
Scott opened his eyes a little, he was just about to shut them quickly when he realized that he could see without his glasses. He looked around the room to see Wanda tied to chair.
"Wanda" Scott called. Wanda opened her eyes slightly looking up.
"What the hell" Wanda said trying to release her hands, "Screw this." She said then
tried using her powers. She looked up at Scott in panic.
"I can't use mine either." Scott said to her.
Scott looked at Wanda she looked like she going to have a heart attack. She was scared but trying to hide it.
"Don't worry we'll get out of here I promise." Scott said trying to be reassuring.
Wanda looked up and nodded her head slightly. The room was pretty dark, no windows. It had one light bulb, which was flickering.
Wanda and Scott sat side by side on the wooden chairs not sure what to do.
The door opened and a tall man with black mid length hair walked in.
"Mr summers, Miss Maximoff." The man said to them. "My name is Shinobi Shaw, you may call me the Black King."
Scott looked up, this guy was creepy he dressed in 18th century clothes and he walked into the room like he was god.
"Now Mr Summers, we have a little problem." He said walking around the room. "You want Emma my White Queen, and well The Hellfire Club can't afford to lose her."
"We don't want her we just want to speak to her." Scott said fidgeting a bit.
"Why so you can convince her to join your little club." The Black King said walking around the room.
"Why don't you let us go jackass?" Wanda screamed at him.
"Now Miss Maximoff I thought your father taught you better than that." He said shaking his finger at her.
"What have you done to our powers?" Wanda asked glaring at him.
The black king bent down to her height so he was in her face. "It was necessary, I didn't want you having a emotional attack now did I?"
Wanda spat in his face. "Fuck off."
Shinobi backhanded her across the face. "They'll be none of that." He ordered.
"Now then lets get down to the point. I'm giving you a simple option."
Shinobi walked over to Scott. "You can leave the White Queen alone, or you could die."
"What makes you think she wants to be left alone?" Scott asked.
"Well you can see for yourself." The black king said walking towards the door. "I'll request for the White Queen to see you, but I won't promise anything."
At that Shinobi opened the door and walked out of the room.
Scott turned his attention to Wanda. "You okay?"
Wanda looked up and nodded. "What do we do now?"
"We wait, see if Emma is safe or not." Scott said to her.
Wanda nodded in agreement.
------------- -------------- -------------- --------------- --------------- ------------ -------------- ------------- --------------
Jean paced the Professor's room. "Why hasn't he phoned?" Jean asked worrying.
Kurt and Pietro sat on the chairs opposite the professor's desk.
Kurt swung his tail backwards and forwards nervously.
Pietro noticed the two panicking a little. He was concerned. He started to think to himself. 'Wanda knows how to look after herself, she can beat up most people, and she was in a asylum for eight years' suddenly panic hit him 'she really doesn't know much about the world.
"We have to find them." Pietro said standing up.
The Professor rolled into the room. The three students looked at him.
"I can't get a signal on them." He sighed.
"Well then we'll have to find them the old fashioned way." Jean said, walking towards the door being followed by the rest.
"Jean I don't want to jump to conclusion, Logan is on his way to see if they arrived in New York." The Professor said rolling towards them. "Lets wait until he calls back."
Jean agreed and walked back into the office, followed by Pietro and Kurt.

Scott tried to shift his chair towards Wanda but it was nailed to the floor.
He looked towards Wanda; her wrists were bleeding a little from where she was still trying to loosen the wire holding tying her hands together.
"Wanda, don't bother trying to loosen them you'll hurt yourself even more." Scott said still looking at her wrists.
"Yeah well unlike you I don't appreciate being locked up." Wanda said then gave up noticing her wrists. "Shit more scars."
"Don't worry we'll get out." Scott said giving her a concerned look.
Wanda sighed "Okay."
The door opened and two men walked in.
"Well looks like it's your lucky night girly." One them said untying Wanda from the chair but not her hand ties.
"Seems like the master took a liking to you." The other man said picking her up in a fireman's lift.
"Hey put me down!" Wanda screamed kicking.
"Leave her alone!" Scott shouted towards them but then he blacked out from the other man hitting him.
--------------- ------------- ---------------- ------------- ------------ ------------------ ------------- ----------------
Wanda was sat in a room a big table in front of her, with a giant feast of food on it.
A teenage boy walked in and sat down opposite her.
"I was hoping you would join me." The boy said to her.
Wanda looked up at him confused. "Who the hell are you?"
"Sorry how rude of me, I'm Sebastian Shawn." He said introducing himself.
"Are you related to the bastard who hit me?" Wanda asked.
"Yeah, sorry he's a bit of a jerk. Fathers eh?" He said looking at her. He was creepy like his dad.
"Eat up" He said looking at her hand ties. "Oh you can't, well I'll have to feed you."
He sat down next to her and picked up her fork.
"I'm on a diet." Wanda said sarcastically.
"Okay then let's talk shall we." Shawn began but was interrupted by Wanda.
"I have a boyfriend," Wanda stated.
"So, you seem too passionate to have one boyfriend." Sebastian said putting his hand on her leg.
"Do that again and I'll kill you." Wanda snapped.
Sebastian took this as a challenge. "So what would you do if I did this?"
Sebastian grabbed onto her face and kissed her.
Wanda bit his tongue. "Ow I knew you were a sly one that's why I liked you."
"Screw you." Wanda screamed at him.
"Well, I do have a large bed upstairs." Sebastian said trying to be charming.
He slid his hand back on Wanda's thigh. "Let's play nice and you won't get hurt."
Sebastian's hands felt his way to Wanda's shirt. He slid them underneath it.
"Get off of me you perverted prick!" Wanda screamed this made Sebastian stop.
"Okay then if you want to play hard to get then I'll send you back to your cell." Sebastian said grinning.
Wanda hated the cell but she hated him even more here. Then an idea appeared.
"No wait I'll stay." Wanda said smiling. "You're right I am too passionate."
At that Sebastian leaned across her and kissed her. Wanda was disgusted but she had to play just a little bit longer.
She groaned a little. He broke the kiss. Wanda looked at her wrists.
"Ouch" Sebastian said looking at them. "Suppose it won't matter too much if I loosen them."
Sebastian loosened them a bit. He continued kissing her then slid his hands back under her top. Meanwhile Wanda slipped her hands out. She looked at the table and noticed a candleholder on the table.
Sebastian was having too much fun to notice Wanda stand up pushing him on the table still kissing him. She grabbed the candleholder and whacked over his head.
Sebastian instantly slumped to the floor.
"Pervert." Wanda said kicking the unconscious body.
---------------- ----------------- ---------------- -------------- ------------- ----------------- ------------ -----------
"They weren't there." Logan said over the radio. "I lost their scent by the front door. But I smelt knock out gas."
Jean looked at the Professor.
"Don't worry Jean, I'll try Cerebro again." The professor said rolling away. "Just
try not to worry."
"Keep Calm!" Pietro squeaked. "My sister's missing and you want to us not to worry? You've got to be joking?"
Pietro looked at Kurt and Jean. "Well screw this I'm gonna find her any way I can."
At that Pietro ran off.
"Oh great that's all we need a run away Quicksilver." Jean said bitterly.
"Do you blame him?" Kurt asked looking worried.
------------- ----------------- --------------- ----------------- ---------------- ------------------ --------------- -----------------
Wanda ran through the house, she couldn't find where Scott was. She was just about to turn a corner when she heard voices.
"What are going to do with them?" a female voice asked.
A familiar male voice replied, it was Shinobi's "Killing them sounds like a good idea, but I'll have a giant size bounty on my head from the girls father."
"Is he that powerful that he can beat you?" The female voice asked.
"My dear Emma, the girl is powerful enough to kill me." He replied.
"Why don't you take his powers away as well?" She asked.
"He would still find away of killing me." He answered.
"A daddy's girl is she?" Emma asked curiously.
"No certainly not. Her situation was a bit like yours," he said grinning.
"Oh really?" she said smiling.
"She was an asylum patient too." He said then changing the subject. "I'll dispose of them tonight."
"Oh well Sebastian will be disappointed" Emma said. "I think he was fond of the Witch. How did you take their powers away?"
"Well it's quite scientific, it's a ray that paralyzes the X gene temporarily, if they survive the night they'll have their powers back within a month."
"That is quite ingenious, can I come with you when you kill them?" Emma asked.
"Yes certainly dear child I want both you and Sebastian to be there." Shinobi answered.
Wanda heard voices from another direction and carried on looking. She came to a set of stairs going downwards. She ran down them and flung open the door to see Scott tied on a chair.
Scott looked up. "Where the hell have you been?"
"Don't ask" Wanda answered trying to untie the wire. "The black knight's son thought it would be fun to play."
Scott raised an eyebrow.
"Let's just say I'm gonna have to make up big time to Kurt." Wanda said successfully untying him.
"Okay, lets find a way out of here." Scott said running up the stairs. They stopped at the top to check if anyone was in sight. The coast was clear come on.
They ran out into the corridor and ran for the front door, but were stopped by Sebastian.
Sebastian clapped. "Well done, not many humans can hurt me."
Scott and Wanda froze still.
"Well come on human" Sebastian teased.
"Get lost Pervert." Wanda shouted at him.
"Well you weren't complaining earlier." Sebastian said.
"What exactly did you do?" Scott asked.
Wanda death glared him. Then turned to Sebastian. "Yeah I enjoyed it so much that I knocked you out."
"Oh" Scott said, and then noticed four men standing behind him.
"I thought it wouldn't be fair for me to fight you." Sebastian said moving out of the way. "So I asked the human guards to do the honors."
The men stood ready to fight with knives in their hands.
Scott looked at Wanda. "Can you fight?"
"Puh-lease I am Satan's daughter." Wanda said grinning.
Scott through a punch at one of the men and tripped another up sidestepping. Wanda picked a chair up and smashed it over one of the men's head, which knocked him out instantly. Scott kicked the man on the floor to make sure he was unconscious. Then Wanda had to wrestle one more man. He leaped for her but she tripped with him landing on top of him. Wanda screamed out in pain her ankle twisting.
Scott ran over to the last chair in the room and smacked over his head. Wanda squirmed underneath the body. Sebastian laughed his head off.
Scott helped her up and they stood looking at Sebastian.
"Well done" He said then he put on a playful face. "Did he hurt you?"
Wanda tried to stand up properly but felt faint; Scott had to keep hold of her. Which she hated.
"Well looks like you better at fighting than I thought." Sebastian said. "Oh well shame my father has been alerted so more guards are on their way."
Scott lunged for Sebastian before he could use his powers he smacked him round the face.
Wanda fell to the floor. She started to hyperventilate. She had broken a few ribs as well.
"Can you walk?" Scott asked helping her up.
"I can try" Wanda said trying to walk, but didn't succeed.
"You're gonna hate this." Scott said picking her up into a fireman's lift.
"Oh great" Wanda said as she bounced on his shoulder.
---------------- ------------------- ----------------- -------------------- ------------------ ---------------- ----------
Kurt stood up in frustration. "I can't take this, she's out their maybe hurt or dying somewhere."
Rogue walked over to him. "Don't worry, ah'm sure she's fine."
"Fine? Be serious Rogue they used knock out gas." Kurt said throwing his hands up in frustration.
"We don't know that." Kitty said standing up next to him.
"I'm not losing her." Kurt said sitting back down.
"You're not going to," Rogue said putting her hand on his shoulder. "She's the Scarlet Witch not many people get on the wrong side of her and get away with it."
"Ja. You're right, I just need to know she's safe." Kurt said putting his head in his hands.
---------------- ----------------- ------------- -------------- --------------- -------------- ------------- --------------
Scott ran as fast as he could but he had no clue where they were. It was complete countryside.
"Scott?" Wanda called from over his shoulder. "Maybe we should take a break."
Scott stopped. "Yeah we've been running for a good 45 minutes."
"Don't you mean you have?" Wanda said as he carefully put her down on the grass.
"How's your ankle?" Scott said sitting opposite her.
Wanda looked at it. "My ribs hurt more."
Scott examined her ankle. "Not broken, maybe strained."
Wanda nodded in agreement.
"Okay we'll have a little rest, but we've got to get to phone box." Scott said brushing his hands through his hair.
"Our powers they not gone forever." Wanda said staring at her hands.
Scott looked at her confused.
"I overheard the Black knight and Emma talking." Wanda said to him.
"I forgot about her, we have to talk to her." Scott said.
"Well I wouldn't bother, she wanted to watch us die." Wanda said poking at her ribs.
Scott raised an eyebrow.
"She was in a asylum too, Shinobi said our situations were similar." Wanda said attempting to stand up.
"Maybe you shouldn't walk." Scott suggested.
"I hate being weak," Wanda stated hopping a bit. "See fine."
"Yeah okay." Scott said helping her walk.
"Come on let's get out of here." Wanda said to him.
----------------- ------------------ -------------- ------------------ ----------------- ---------------- ------------ ----------------
Jean sat up suddenly.
"I know where they are." She said to Kurt.
"Vhere?" Kurt asked concerned
"England." Jean said standing up.
"We better find Pietro." Rogue said following Jean out of the door.
They were just going to tell the Professor when Pietro ran into them.
"Have you found them yet?" he asked hopefully. "I've looked everywhere even Europe, maybe I should go back do a thorough search."
"No, their in England." Jean said, "Lets go."
