Magnetos deep voice echoed around the closed room. As if hearing it once wasn't good enough for Storm. Pushing all her thoughts to the back of her head she did her best to look emotionless.
"What's wrong Ororo? Don't say you weren't expecting me here."
And was clearly failing miserably at it.
Storm was not going to let this happen to herself. The longer he spoke to her, the harder it was going to be for her to beat the shit out of him.
Magneto was most definitely enjoying his games with Ororo and was about to start another conversation on how beautiful Storm looked today before he was quite rudely interrupted with a very hard punch on the jaw. Dazed he looked at Storm quizzically before receiving two more blows to the face.
"That's all you got love?"
With a flick of his hand Magneto sent both working tables flying towards Storm. But she leapt nimbly out of the way, causing the tables to crash explosively into each other. Her eyes were completely white now and her body language sent out a clear message.
Bring it on.
"Training a lot are we now days? I suppose you have oodles and oodles of free time…" laughing at his own joke Magneto sent a million broken shards of aluminum whizzing towards Storm. Jumping out of the way was no longer an option. She was going to have to deal with this head on. Storm lifted a foot of the ground as a cyclone erupted in the middle of the room. The chaos she was creating was insane. Unable to control the pieces of metal anymore, Magneto ducked behind a table as his attack was sucked into the raging winds in the lab.
Instantly Storm appeared behind him and tried to land another punch but this time Magneto was prepared. Grabbing hold of her outstretched arm, he swung her around smashing her head first into the wall behind him. Storm could feel his body pressed against her. Her heart skipped a beat as he leaned in and whispered in her ear.
"You're so beautiful. Leaving you was a mistake"
Anger boiled inside Storm, this was one step too far. Once again power surged within her as she lifted into the air. Lightening sizzled through her body and blasted Magneto off her, causing him to land a couple of meters away.
Magneto staggered to his feet. His face was twisted with mixed feelings.
Maybe it was a mistake.
Magneto could not deny the fact that he loved her. She was the most amazing person he had ever met. Despite knowing the fact that she returned his love he had done nothing about it. Magneto suddenly felt very empty from inside. He had thought toying with Storm would be great fun but he had ended up toying with himself. He ran a hand through his dark hair to feel a small bump forming at the back of his head. And now when she was ready to rip him limb from limb he felt the most incomprehensible attraction towards her. He had messed up bad.
Storm was burning with fury. Forgiveness was not in the equation anymore. This was going to end the hard way. Storm tore her eyes away from Magneto's; he did have the world's most gorgeous brown eyes. After steadying her self for just a moment she began cause the winds to race around her once more. Everything in the room was now a part of the cyclonic winds that sped dangerously around Magneto and Storm.
Seizing the opportunity, Magneto grabbed the metal that was whirling around them. Twisting it into a long rod shape, he caused the metal snake to coil tightly around Storm. Even though the air still raged around them, storm smashed to the ground due to the weight of the metal. The harder she struggled the tighter the bar wrapped around her. Magneto took a few slow steps in her direction before lifting her upright with the help of the metal. Slowly the grip of the rod loosened but Magneto's proximity prevented her from any unwanted movement.
Storm hated the effect he had on her.
The battle that was going on in Magnetos head was now clear on his face. Despite the stubbornness that was carved in Storms features he knew that there was definitely more feeling deep inside her. Way deep inside her. Although he knew his sweet talk could break through any number of brick walls. His words now refused to form sentences for him. Nothing. There was absolutely nothing he could say or do…except…
Storms heart was beating like a rabbit's. Damn! even a rabbits would be way slower than what she was experiencing right now. There was confusion in his handsome features but he continued towards her determinedly. Storm had no idea of what was about to happen till the last possible moment, when it was obviously too late.
As Magneto leaned forward his eyes closed. Storm felt the gentle touch of his lips on hers. Time stopped as nothing and everything began to make sense to her. She absorbed his essence as the kiss became more intense. She kissed him back with equal passion. This was how it was meant to be and nothing could change it.
After all where could Magneto possibly have run off too? He was trapped desperately in the eye of the storm.
