Sorry this has taken a while. This chapter may be a little confusing, but it should explain itself fully. Please review.
"You're name is Kira. You have no recollection of your life before we found you, abandoned in the street." A droning voice repeated over and over again. Dr Doom was putting Amara through hypnotherapy because he believed the collar would not be strong enough on its own. By giving Amara the new name Kira, meaning Dark Lady, he thought that she would finally stop fighting. There had been many incidents since the dance with Chris that Amara had fought against the power of the collar and Doom couldn't take the risk of her breaking free of the spell. For the most part Amara had submitted to the hypnotherapy, but occasionally she would remember her previous life. His aim was to make her think that she had met the Fantastic Four at the mall, but instead of them saving her it was his followers that had.
"Stop now," Doom commanded. Instantly the droning voice stopped.
"Kira, how do you feel?" Doom asked in a voice he thought sounded friendly.
"Ab Fab, Victor." Kira said.
"Good, Chris will take you to the city to start the plan soon," Doom replied. Kira felt her stomach flutter at the sound of Chris' name. She nodded and hoped she wasn't blushing. "Go get ready." Kira bowed her head and walked towards her room. She changed into a different black corset and put on a pair of black jeans. She put lots of eyeliner and a dark red lipstick on. She had thought about dying her hair black, but she was too fond of her brown hair.
"Kira, you ready?" said Chris' deep voice. Kira turned and grinned at him.
"Yeah, let's go," She replied. She could feel her blood pumping adrenaline through her body. She was just itching to create a disaster. Chris grinned back and held out his hand. She took it, but not before grabbing her leather jacket.
"Which area do you want to go to?"
"I want revenge on the Fantastic Four." Kira stated. Chris chuckled.
"Not tonight my sweet. But we will get them for killing your family. How about we go to the mall instead?" Kira's face lit up. "That's my girl." He added and kissed her passionately. When they broke off she ached for his touch.
"Chris, take some others with you." Doom ordered.
"Yes, Master." Chris replied and called for a group to form. One by one they teleported out of the Layer. Kira held Chris' hand, partly because she hadn't quite mastered teleporting on her own, and partly because she wanted to.
They reformed at the mall. It was midday in the city so there were plenty of shoppers milling around. Kira was delighted to hear screams as the shoppers saw the black clad group teleport in. She looked around at her allies; they were all wearing masks, except herself and Chris.
"People of this dingy place," Chris shouted. "There's no reason to be frightened." He paused. "Actually you have every right to be frightened." He laughed evilly and used his power over earth to cause an earthquake. Kira laughed at the distress it caused and started smashing the remaining windows with her telekinesis. She flung shoppers into each other and then at walls. The group of Masks were randomly firing orbs of darkness at people, causing them to black out. Amara had just started to levitate a pair of elderly woman when a shield formed in front of them. She growled and looked around for the source of the shield. Her eyes found a small blonde woman focusing on the elderly ladies. Two men and an ugly rock thing were grouped around her.
"You!" Kira screamed. She growled again and threw ever ounce of her powers at them, bombarding them from every direction. The blonde girl Kira knew as the Invisible Woman started to form a shield around the rest of the Fantastic Four, but she didn't get it up in time and she and Mr Fantastic crumpled to the ground. Kira laughed and heard Chris join in.
"Oh my God. Amara, is that you?" The Thing said surprised.
"I don't know who Amara is, but it's not me." Kira snapped. "You should remember my name. After all you killed my family." Kira nodded at Chris and watched as he made the earth shake at the Thing's feet. She then gathered her energy again and threw it at him. She laughed again as she saw the Thing crash into the mall wall. Her gaze fell upon the remaining member of the Fantastic Four.
"What have they done to you?" The Human Torch asked sadly. Kira looked at him, she felt something for him, but she couldn't quite place what. It was an aching deep inside her.
"They're not the ones who did anything." She replied harshly. "Now prepare to join your friends." Kira was shocked that the Human Torch had no witty come back. He didn't even try to fight; he just stood there, staring at her.
"Amara, don't you remember who I am? I love you." The Human Torch said finally. Kira stopped gathering her powers. Who was Amara? Why did they think she was Amara? Did her enemy just say he loved her? Chris seemed to sense Kira's confusion because he walked over to her and kissed her deeply. Kira was stunned into silence. She looked back at Johnny and saw anger and, was that jealousy? It had to be. Chris aimed his powers on Johnny.
"Wait," Kira ordered. She turned again to look at the Human Torch. "Save your friends and leave us alone." Chris looked as though he was about to argue, but instead he just smiled.
"See, Johnny, she's with me. Just like I told you she would be." Chris said before teleporting Amara away.
