Here's Chapter Three! Please R&R!
Aqua kept on feeling sharp, intense pain on the back of her neck. She began to suspect something. Why? Why now, when she had finally found somewhere she belongs? Where she is happy? Where there is freedom?
Aqua liquefied herself and somehow slipped to the very highest floor. She obviously didn't want to drown with them, even if she could save herself. She could liquefy herself; but having the water flow go down is easier.
It felt so strange, even if she was used to it. One part of her mind is thinking and planning out the murder strategy. But the other part is crying for help, and praying to God that it won't work.
But it always works. None of her plans have ever failed, which made Ling very unhopeful.
Once the plan worked, everyone: Rogue, Bobby, the Professer, Wolverine, the boyfriend of that red haired girl-everyone. Somehow she had to stop, well, herself. Somehow.
Ling was too busy thinking about it, so she hadn't noticed that water was already spilling from her fingers and palms. She felt her mouth stretched into a cruel smile, and she felt the clear, pure water tickling her feet. But the water would no longer be pure soon.

Rogue awoke to the sound of scratching and pounding at her door. She mumbled, "No, not yet. Five more minutes," while yawning and stretching her arms.
"Rogue, open the door! It's me!" A familiar voice said urgently.
"Bobby?" Rogue asked while opening the door, "What are you doing here?"
"My entire floor's being flooded! I froze the water just in time to allow a little path big enough for everyone to escape! Someone's trying to-" Bobby looked at the unoccupied bed beside Rogue's, "Wait. Where's Ling?"
"Uh," Rogue thought about it for a moment, "Oh yeah, she needed to take a walk. I think she was having nightmares. You know. About her past and all?"
But Bobby didn't see it that way. He liked Ling and all-but this was too coincidental. And she used to work for Stryker. Unwillingly, sure, but maybe some of that violence had stuck to her.
"Rogue?" Bobby asked slowly, "Isn't Ling's power water?"
Rogue put her now-gloved hands to her mouth. "Crud, you don't think it's her, do you?"
Bobby nodded his head. "Yeah, and I think we should warn the others and the Professor. You go get everyone else. I'll get Logan. I personally know that he's still poking around the kitchen trying to find some beer."
* * *
Aqua's floor was only a little flooded, so she can still keep this up for a while. She had "eyes" in the water, so she saw Bobby Drake freeze up the water on his floor (which was the floor below the one she's on now) and allowed them to escape.
Aqua snarled a curse that would make G movies run in terror.
Ling couldn't believe this. "She" was cursing her friend for saving all the other students! God, Ling didn't know how she had put up with this for 3 stupid years! And she can't do anything! She felt so useless.
* * *
Bobby ran as fast as he could through the slippery water to the kitchen. And as he thought, he saw Logan still rifling through the various pop bottles. He was totally oblivious to the fact that water up to his ankles flooded the room.
"God, I would think that a place with an underground facility, training arena, mutant kids, a team of superheroes, and a jet would at least have some decent beer!!!" Bobby heard Logan complaining to himself. Bobby rolled his eyes.
"Logan!"
Logan turned around grumpily. "What? Wait-what the heck is all this water for?"
"Logan, I think Ling's flooding the place! Rogue's going around warning everyone to get out of the mansion!
"Ok, I'm sure there must be something up. Do you know where she is?" Logan questioned.
"I think she's in the floor above mine, since the water was coming from the stairs." Bobby answered.
"Iceman, you go find Rogue and the others, and get them to safety! I'll take care of the girl."
Bobby nodded his head and left.
Logan sighed sadly. "Kid, what have you done?"
* * *
Aqua had seen a lot of people leaving, but she knew that Rogue and Bobby would never get all of them out. At least she'd take down some of them. Her back was turned, so she didn't see the man with a surgically implanted, indestructible skeleton walk in behind her.
* * *
Logan decided on knocking her out, but not too bad. He thought maybe he'd just tap her, but what good would that do? So he punched her lightly on the head.
"Ah!" Ling cried painfully. She collapsed to the floor and was out cold. Logan went over and felt her pulse. Hmm. He thought. Maybe I really should have stuck with the tap.
But then he noticed something under her long black hair. He lifted it gently, and just saw something very strange.
In the place where the serum was implanted in was a big, bubbly mass of green glob. It was disgusting to watch, but Logan kept his eyes planted to the very spot. He watched as the glob, the mutation, sank back in. The circle was still there, and the mutation-the infection-was no where to be seen. But it would be back soon. That he knew.
