Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Note: Wild Thing was orginally a lion character of mine. I changed her powers and such for the story. Her powers as a lion are: Wolverine blades on front paws, retractable steel fangs, and a retractable dagger that comes out of the end of her tail. She isvery dangerous!

Other Note: This is the last chapter! I don't think I'll be writing a sequal, since what happens is basically what will happen in the 3rd movie. Without Lara, of course. But, if I do happen to dream up a good one, I'll consider it.

Wild was suddenly lifted off her feet and into a pair of strong arms. She laughed and gazed up into Pyro's eyes.

"The looks on their faces was worth it!" she giggled happily.

"It would've been worth it either way," Pyro replied with a smirk and she punched his arm lightly.

"You sure about that, Hot-Shot?"

"Positive. Besides, I am the best kisser in the world."

"Or so your ego tells you," Wild Thing muttered and Pyro looked offended.

"It is not my ego! I just happen to be good at those types of things."

"I've noticed," Lara said airily and ran her hand across his jaw line.

"You haven't forgotten, have you? I saw your talents, oh mighty one," she teased him and he pressed his forehead to hers before letting her down gently. They paused for a moment until Pyro broke the silence.

"You were checking me out, weren't you?"

"Huh?"

"The day you first saw me. Now don't deny the fact that you were checking out my ass the entire time." Pyro raised one eyebrow and a sexy smirk appeared on his face. Wild's eyes widened and the tips of her ears turned red.

"I was not!"

"Yes you were. And this proves it." He ran his fingers gently over her left ear, causing her to shiver slightly.

"Cold?" he asked her smartly and she shot him a glare. She muttered something under her breath and then shoved him into a pond later down the walk. He spluttered and coughed, looking up at her in surprise. She simply smirked at him and waved sweetly. He shot her a glare and stood up, dripping wet. He shook himself like a dog and smoothed his hair back with his hand, causing Wild to raise an eyebrow at this newfound habit. John stepped toward her and she jumped back. He stepped forward and tried to grab her, but missed. She laughed and darted away again. This led to a long chase sequence that ended up with them standing outside a corner diner and making the decision to go in.

Lara ordered something with pancakes on it and John…well…she didn't know what it was that he got. It smelled good, but looked like…like something not right. She stared at it, and then at him, and then back to 'it'. John looked up.

"What?"

"That's what I want to know. What is that?"

"Something that has bacon in it," he replied and shrugged. Lara stuck her tongue out and shook her head.

"I don't know if what you taste is really bacon."

"Who cares? It's good," he said and took another bite out of the 'thing'. Lara opened her mouth to say something else when she was interrupted by a presence next to them. She looked up to spot a woman with blonde, curly hair and a leather blouse with a quite low neckline.

"John and Lara, I presume?" she asked.

They had exited the diner, the woman's words still in their heads. She had told them about her mutantcy, made her eyes turn yellow, and given them her name. Mystique. She had told them about this place…no…brotherhood of mutants who believed that homo superiors should dominate. While Xavier taught patience, this brotherhood wanted revenge. Lara didn't know what to think, and Pyro was in the same boat.

He begun to relieve the ferocity he had been met with when he had discovered his mutation. He had been sitting quietly in class that day…

"Stop it!" Pyro muttered under his breath and glanced at the boy behind him who was continually jabbing him with a sharp pencil. Jeffery put on an innocent look.

"Stop what?"

"You know what," John growled, but the stabbing continued. His science teacher had just lit a Bunsen burner when John felt the pencil break his skin. A tiny spot of blood started to appear on his arm. He had always had a hot temper, but now was too much. He stood up abruptly and his hand knocked all of Jeffery's things onto the floor, his book coming down with a loud bang. All eyes were on them now, but then were suddenly averted as the flame on the burner grew.

John felt suddenly stronger. He felt powerful. He saw the burner out of the corner of his eye and then looked back at Jeff. Burn him. The flame snaked over to catch the terrified boy's sleeve. That was all it took.

The last thing John remembered was someone crashing a book into his head in an attempt to knock him out. He staggered back and then the fire went back inside the burner like nothing had happened. He looked around him. The room was black and charred. A body lay next to him. Jeffery's. He swallowed and climbed out the broken window next to him.

Later, at home, his parents were furious. Here are the facts:

John was cursed at, thrown heavy objects at, and disowned. Plus the very intriguing fact that he lit a match and burned their house afterwards.

Pyro shook his head in disgust. His fists clenched; just thinking about them made him furious. His eyes flashed and Lara noticed his state easily. She reached over and intertwined her fingers with his.

"I'm starting to like this idea," she whispered in his ear, thinking of her own parents' reaction.

Soon the only thought in their minds was finding Magneto or whatever and showing the homo sapiens in the world that they had some things to fear. And those some things were a certain fire-obsessed guy and a wild, orange-haired girl.
