Later that day
After lunch and finally to the end of their third-to-last class, Kara headed to Spanish. Being that their school only offered Spanish, French, and German, the only class Kara would want to take is Spanish I. She could learn German from Kurt of course, and she had a personal problem with French people. She took Spanish II because she had taken Spanish I before she had ran away from home.
It was in the middle of class, she sat in the back listening to the teacher drone on something about the Spanish-speaking countries' schools. Almost falling asleep, with her chin in her hand, she almost jumped up when she heard a faint but familiar noise. In the distance, somewhere, she heard the sound of bending and braking metal. She clenched her fists and grumbled inaudible under her breath. "Magneto." He had been after her since an counter she had with the brotherhood. To make the story short, right before Kara had been "officially" named an X-Men she had met a young man named Remy LeBeau(aka Gambit) at the mall. She was "swept off her feet" by Gambit, who at the time was a spy/agent for Magneto's brotherhood of evil mutants. She had liked him for a while and after only one date, and her telling him her powers, he pretty much attacked her right then and there. She had never forgiven herself for falling for his tricks and now she gets to go on her guilt trips every time the X-Men fight against the Brotherhood, Magneto is after her for an evil plan, that involves the draining and use of the venom made by her body.
Kara raised her hand. The teacher called on her, "Sí, Senorita Kara?" she asked.
Kara quietly asked, "May I go to the bathroom?" The teacher stood there with her hands on her hips. Kara groaned, "El baño?" she asked. The teacher requires the students to speak in Spanish at all times in Spanish class... probably why they call it Spanish class.
"Sí." her teacher answered and Kara jumped up and trying to act the normal, she walked out of the room. As soon as the door shut, Kara bolted down the hallway towards the bathroom. When she reached the bathroom she pulled out the small communicator that's disguised as a necklace. She squeezed one side of it that would send out a warning, flashing signal to the other X-Men's communicators.
Someone had apparently picked up her signal and responded, "Yes." It was Kurt's voice in a very light whisper. He was apparently still in class.
Being mindful that his communicating device did not have a headset, she quietly whispered back, "Kurt, he's here."
"Vhich, he?" he responded, knowing she was talking about ONE of the X-Men's enemies.
"Magneto! I'm in the bathroom that's by the back stairs. Meet me here ASAP! Raven out." she said and stuffed her communicator back down her shirt to keep him from any trouble with his teacher. And if ya'll are wondering, her codename is Raven. No good story with this one,... she would've gone without, but one of the other students called her that one time, and it just caught on...
Kara walked out of the restroom, looking around the corner, hoping there were no teachers around. She was alone. She sniffed the air, hoping her slightly heighten smell would pick up something. She did. It was a smell. A familiar one again, but this one made her wince up at it. She smelt the faint smell of smoke and a light smell of manly cologne. She grumbled to herself, hoping not to have to encounter who she smelled. It was the smell of her once-was friend, Remy LeBeau... Gambit. She followed her nose up the stairs. Not even going up all the way, there she saw Gambit... he was meandering about the hallway, looking for something, as it seemed.
Still looking for me are we? Give it up already.
She suddenly changed to her mutant from and flew down the stairs and into the hallway when she heard several screams from the classrooms downstairs. She quickly grabbed her communicator and called on Jean Grey, "Jean! I need you! Hurry!" Kara flew to the classroom she had come from and to her horror, she saw Magneto there in the classroom. He held several desks and pieces of the wall over the students in the classroom. There were several girls grouped together, screaming and crying. Magneto called out, "Silence!" The girls whimpered in fear of him. There were several guys who stood in front of the girls and teacher trying to "protect" them. Not like it would help...
Kara flew into the room. She didn't have her X-Men uniform so she hoped and prayed the students didn't recognize her as... her. "Hey! Leave 'em alone, Magneto!" she called out. He turned and looked at her with a not-so-surprised look. She flew toward him and smacked him on his face real good. He somewhat fell over, but his magnetic field held him up. She gracefully leaded on the wall and did a small flip and landed on the ground on her feet. "You're looking for me.. well here I am. Don't you dare hurt them." she said through gritted teeth, with her eyes starting to really glow.
Magneto gave a light chuckle. "Of course, I am looking for you, but what do you care for those humans, you homo-sapian lover." he said with a smirk.
Ok, that made her mad. She jumped toward him, but before she reached him, Magneto hurtled a desk at her which sent her to the ground. She pushed herself to stand up again, but Magneto sent another desk directly onto her back, knocking her to the floor again. "Do you really want to know what I've been planning on doing with you?" he asked her a rhetorical question. He threw another desk at her causing her when she only slightly moved. She called out in pain. Using pieces of the broken desks, Magneto held her up by her neck and back. The desks pierced into her side; she winced at the pain. "Don't know? Well. First, we'll kill you and drain every last drop of blood from your body. Then we'll separate all your precious, yet dangerous venom and molecularly duplicate it. And each and EVERY human will be intoxicated and die... all because of you, my dear."
Kara struggled at the desks around her but managed to say, "You're sick." Magneto tightened his magnetic grip on the desks around her body. She started to gag and cough, having a hard time breathing.
Suddenly, a bright red light filled the room. Kara closed her eyes at the brightness. Along with the pieces of the desk, she fell to the ground. She looked up and saw Cyclops and Jean Grey in uniform standing in the doorway. Cyclops's eye beam sent Magneto against the wall and set her free. Jean rushed to her and asked, "Are you okay, Raven?"
"Yeah, but I gotta go meet someone." she said as Jean helped her to her feet. " I have a feeling there's some trouble elsewhere." She flew up and out of the room, and on the way she ran into Kurt, who had also gotten in uniform.
"Vhere vere you?" he asked as they headed toward one way down a hall.
"Talkin' to an old friend..." she said in sarcasm. "But right now, I smell an old enemy causin' some trouble." she flew towards the math hallway.
When they arrived at the room, they heard several small explosions and people calling out and screaming. When they burst through the door, there was Gambit. Kara looked at him with great disgust not wishing to even look at him. Her eyes glowed a very bright red and she clenched her fists. Trying to control her rage,.. it doesn't work a lot of the times. She lunged toward Gambit with her claws out for him, but he quickly jumps out of her way. She flies directly toward the wall, and push herself off it back at Gambit. He charges three cards and throws them at her. The first two, she dodges, but the last hits her and hurdles her sideways to the ground.
Kurt bamfed himself in front of her and said, "Leave her alone!"
Gambit chuckled, "Even da demon-lookin' got 'imself a girl, no?" he laughed.
Kara comes-to and moves around Kurt and jumps onto Gambit's back. She uses one arm to hold his neck, the other to hold his arms behind his back, and she took her tail, with it's spike out, and pointed it at his neck, only a few inches away. "Don't move..."
"Or what?" he replied flippantly and wiggled his arms free from her grip, and started charging cards and randomly throwing them around.
She now held onto this neck with both arms. She called out to Kurt, "Nightcrawler! Get the students out of here!" He did so. Knowing the students definitely wouldn't go with him willingly, he just touched them and 'ported them outside the classroom.
One of the many girls cried out, "My purse! It has all my stuff in it!" the young girl quickly ran into the room, before Kurt could stop her. She moved, cautiously around Raven and Gambit's struggling and grabbed her bag. As she was close to leaving, Gambit charged a card and threw it at her.
Raven called out, "NO!" The girl turned and looked, seeing the explosive card coming at her, her eyes widened and she screamed. Raven bolted from Gambit and pushed the girl put of the card's way. Instead of hitting the girl, the card exploded in Kara's face. She screamed and was thrown to the floor.
"Raven!" Kurt called out as he entered the room. Kurt picked up a desk and threw it at unsuspecting Gambit, which knocked him to the wall, apparently knocking him out. Kurt rushed to Kara's side. He looked over her once and carefully picked her up in his arms, bridal style. Balancing her in one arm, he turned on his communicator and called for an X-Man. Jean acknowledged him. Kurt in a short panic said to Jean, "Kara, is hurt badly. I believe we need to take her back to ze mansion."
"Are you still in the school?" she asked.
"Ja, in ze math hall."
"Ok, then get her to my car. Several other students are leaving so it shouldn't look too conspicuous." Jean replied. "Jean out." she turned off her communicator.
Kurt looked over his shoulder at where Gambit lay. He was gone. Out a window or something... but he didn't care. He just wanted to get Kara to medical help. He quickly, but carefully carried her out to Jean's car. He gently laid her on the backseat to where she'd be comfortable and safe. He bamfed into the front passenger seat.
In only 5 minuted Jean rushed to her car and sped off to the X-Mansion.
