A New Age, A New Team
Chapter 35: Fiery Attractions

Aphrodite (Mary-Lynn) stood coyly in the midst of the Chaos as she stared at Spitfire (Grace) and Hell's Angel (Jazmine). Her violet eyes twinkled with delight while her shredded sleeves waved in the air as if taunting them like a flag. "Are you two just gonna sit there and stare at mah or are ya gonna fight?" She smirked.

Spitfire glanced over at Hell's Angel and gave her a soft nodded. Hell's Angel closed her greenish-brown eyes and rolled her shoulder blades slowly. It seemed as though the shattering of bones echoed throughout the laboratory as two large black angel wings sprouted from her shoulder blades and thick claws grew from her fingernails. She opened her eyes again as her wings stretched into the air.

"Fancy trick," Aphrodite smirked.

Hell's Angel thrust her wings down and quickly took flight into the air as Spitfire took off running towards Aphrodite. Aphrodite took a stance for the impact as she released hormones into the air to make Spitfire envy her. Spitfire quit running towards and placed her forearm over her nose and mouth. "Hell's Angel, she's releasing hormones!" She shouted up to the angel stalking the sky, as she stumbled backwards away from Aphrodite.

"What's the matter darlin'?" Aphrodite smirked as she stalked closer towards Spitfire.

I won't be able to fight her if she keeps this up…Spitfire gasped as she tripped over a piece of scientific equipment.

Aphrodite never looked like she was much of a fighter, and she truly wasn't. She knew a few moves, but otherwise she relied on her powers. She didn't need to rely on anything else. They created a force field around her that no one could penetrate, and when in doubt she could seduce someone with her powers so that they would protect her.

"Spitfire!" Hell's Angel shouted down as she dove down to her. She held her hand out for Spitfire, who grabbed her wrist and was lifted back into the air.

"Thanks," Spitfire gasped as she shook her head to get rid of the hormones.

"Well that's no fun if yall are up there." Aphrodite pretended to pout. "Ah guess Ah'll have to get ya down, huh?" She smirked as she closed her violet eyes and took a deep breath in. She opened her eyes and sent a deep breath out, which released a high dose of hormones into the air in Hell's Angel and Spitfire's direction.

Hell's Angel darted to the side of the hormones and then took a deep breath in. When she released it a whirlwind of fire spun down towards Aphrodite, who quickly ran away. Hell's Angel lowered the longer she kept her fire breath going and then finally stopped. "I can't keep it up." She sighed.

"It's alright. Drop me here." Spitfire smirked, "I can take it from here."

Hell's Angel let go off of Spitfire's wrist and she dropped to the ground, while Hell's Angel took flight higher into the sky once again. Spitfire hit the ground softly in a crouching position before she flipped her black hair with red tipped bangs and orange tipped hair behind her. She stared at Aphrodite and stared at the fire that separated them. Spitfire felt a burning fire rise in her body as her green eyes focused on the flames that danced before her. Slowly the fire began to creep closer and closer towards Aphrodite, but it shot out after her.

Aphrodite took off running in her clear stiletto heels as fast as she could, until she stopped because Hell's Angel was standing in front of her. Perfect. Aphrodite smirked as she released a hormone into the air.

Hell's Angel felt a warmth wash over her as her hatred for Aphrodite melted away. Her greenish-brown eyes softened at the sight of Aphrodite and then her wings relaxed behind her.

"Take me into the air." Aphrodite said coyly.

Hell's Angel nodded her head slowly before extending her hand to Aphrodite, who took it and then in one thrust of her wings they were airborne.

What the hell is Hell's Angel doing?! Spitfire gasped as she stared up into air where Hell's Angel was flapping her wings, while Aphrodite dangled from her hand with a smirk. "Oh no…" Spitfire sighed. Aphrodite got too close. Damnit!

"Take me down." Aphrodite nodded and in an instant Hell's Angel followed her orders as if hypnotized into it. Hell's Angel curbed her wings in and quickly fell from the sky towards Spitfire like a bullet.

Aphrodite felt the rush of wind whip through her perfectly curled blonde hair as she fell closer and closer towards Spitfire. Any second now and my hormones will ut her under my spell too. She smirked as she locked her violet colored eyes with Spitfire's eyes.

Spitfire stared at the southern bell as she descended upon her like a black raven. She took a deep breath in as her heart rate began to climb while her green eyes stared at her teammate who had quickly turned to her enemy. She slid her feet into a position for impact as she tried to quickly think of something.

Her green eyes glanced to her side as she saw the fire that Hell's Angel had created for Spitfire slowly dying. It's my only chance…She closed her eyes and concentrated on the fire, which quickly spread back towards Spitfire. Soon a circle of fire surrounded her and blazed into the air to protect her.

Hell's Angel pulled up back into the air to avoid the fire as she hovered above Spitfire with Aphrodite dangling from her wrist. Her large black wings flapped over and over again as she struggled to keep both her and Aphrodite airborne.

"Is that the best you got?" Aphrodite smirked at Spitfire, "Why not actually fight?"

"Like you are?" Spitfire said in a challenging tone as the fire around her died down.

"Burn her." Aphrodite barked. Hell's Angel nodded as she took a deep breath in and began to feel the burning sensation in her lungs.

Spitfire closed her eyes for a moment and concentrated, which made all the flames pile in front of her. She slowly crouched down on the ground and placed her fingerless gloved hands against the warm ground; the fire crackled against her bare skin, but it didn't effect her. She opened her green eyes and stared through the dancing flames at Aphrodite and Hell's Angel. Sorry Hell's Angel…

The flames shot up into the air towards Hell's Angel and Aphrodite. Aphrodite screamed, "Move! MOVE!"

Hell's Angel tried to, but ended up letting go of Aphrodite and just barely missing the flames. Her head became light when she was away from Aphrodite as she swayed from side to side in the air. Her greenish-brown eyes quickly looked over to her right and saw that the tips of some of her black feathers were burning. "Damnit Spitfire!" She yelled as she pulled her right wing into her without thinking. As she quickly put out the fire on her feathers, she plummeted towards the ground.

"Sorry, I had no choice!" Spitfire shrugged. "Take flight!" She screamed when she saw Hell's Angel fall towards the ground closer to Aphrodite.

Hell's Angel felt the strange sensation wash over her body again that she had felt before when Aphrodite first took control over her with her powers. She tucked her wings into her body and then with one thrust, her black wings spread out and raised her up into the air once again. She gracefully flew higher and higher towards the black ceiling like a mystical bird dance along the wind currents.

She turned around and looked down at the carnage that was unfolding in the laboratory warehouse and sighed. It shouldn't be this way…

Aphrodite was crouched on the ground to stabilize herself from the fall before she flipped her perfectly curled blonde hair over her head to look ahead of her. Her violet colored eyes stared ahead at Spitfire, who had stepped through the dancing flames slowly. Aphrodite slowly stood up with a smirk on her face as she watched Spitfire walk closer towards her. That's it… Here kitty kitty…

Spitfire's green eyes stared ahead at the southern bell in hatred before stopping just out of Aphrodite's hormone reach. I won't be one of your puppets. She took a deep breath in as she sharply pulled on the edge of her brown fingerless leather gloves to make them tighter on her hands. I just need one shot on her. Her green eyes never broke away from Aphrodite's eyes, even though she could still see Hell's Angel hovering in the rafters above her.

Spitfire nodded and then took off running towards Aphrodite. I hope this works. She slid across the ground towards Aphrodite, who smirked down at her. "Keep smiling sweetheart." Spitfire smirked as she kicked up into Aphrodite's stomach so that she flew up into the air.

Quickly Hell's Angel dove in the air down to Aphrodite, and grabbed her arms while she was midair. "This is for controlling me." She grunted as she swooped back up into the air. Her thick claws dung into the soft skin of Aphrodite and drew blood as she flew into the air.

"Release her!" Spitfire shouted. If you keep her too long she'll do it again.

"Not yet!" Hell's Angel snarled as she stopped just under the rafters and looked at Aphrodite. "You're pathetic." She threw Aphrodite towards the ground as hard as she possibly could. Aphrodite's hormones had begun to take affect over Hell's Angel, but luckily she released her in time.

Spitfire slowly stood up as her green eyes watched the southern bell quickly free fall towards the ground. She wiped the dust off of her black pants as she walked towards the other side of the room; she could care less if she landed on her feet or not.

Aphrodite screamed as she fell closer and closer to the cement ground. Her powers couldn't save her now. I'm too beautiful to die now. She thought in panic.

Rush (Ashley) looked over as Aphrodite was moments from hitting the ground and held his hand out in front of him. A wave of water shot out and seemed to break her fall and lower her safely to the ground.

Aphrodite slowly stood up from the puddle of water around her and shook her arms out to try to knock the water from her. "Thanks suga." She nodded to Rush, "but next time try not to get mah so wet." She smirked and turned and stalked off towards Spitfire. "Ah ain't done with ya." Aphrodite grunted as she stood behind Spitfire and released a large amount of hormones towards her.

Spitfire turned around and was just about to strike Aphrodite across the cheek with her fist but her hand fell limp to her side. She stood in front of Aphrodite, helplessly as she stared at her, waiting for her command.

"Kill her." Aphrodite smirked as she pointed up at Hell's Angel.

"I can't."

"Why not?!" Aphrodite shouted.

"I need fire first."

"Damnit!" She stomped her heel on the cement. "Then wait right here." Aphrodite looked around for a couple minutes and then saw a metal pole laying nearby. She walked over to it and then stalked back over towards Spitfire. "Can ya harpoon her down or somethin'?"

Spitfire looked at the pool for a moment and then up at Hell's Angel. "She's too faraway."

"Ya are no use to mah!" Aphrodite shouted as she held the pole in her soft hands and swung at Spitfire's head, while Spitfire stood there helpless awaiting the blow. The pole stuck, but due to Aphrodite's poor aim, she ended up striking Spitfire in the shoulder instead. Spitfire fell to the ground at the same time that Aphrodite dropped the pole and started to walk away. At least maybe Ah broke somethin'.

Hell's Angel watched from the distance of the air and when she watched in horror as Aphrodite struck Spitfire, she gasped. Grace! She quickly dove down and landed on her feet so that she was running towards Spitfire. She crouched down next to her and looked at her team leader, who was still in a trace. "Spitfire? Can you hear me?"

Spitfire blinked her green eyes a couple times and then grabbed her burning shoulder. She gasped in pain as she looked up at Hell's Angel and was breathing heavy. The pain began to settle within her system as she stared at Hell's Angel for a moment. "Where is she?" She gasped.

"Walking away." Hell's Angel said as she helped Spitfire to her feet and nodded in the direction in which Aphrodite was walking in.

"Blow some fire into my hand."

"What?"

"Trust me."

"Alright." Hell's Angel took a deep breath in and felt the tiny twinge of burning sensation in her lungs before lightly blowing fire onto Spitfire's good hand.

Spitfire walked towards Aphrodite with the glowing ember in her hands. She paused a couple feet away from her and the ember in her hand raged into a burning flame as she pulled back and then threw it directly at Aphrodite.

Aphrodite turned around and watched as the flame spun towards her, but then a shot of water blocked the fireball from hitting Aphrodite. Her violet colored eyes looked over in the direction of the water and saw Ashley standing there with a smirk on his face. "Much betta suga." She smirked.
