((Heh, I made a cliff hanger on the first chapter. I hope you liked it, trying to make the character's stick to their personalities in the comics. Well, without further a due, here is chapter 2!))
Hello, Charles.
The computer's voice echoed throughout the narrow, steel hall. "Come Kayla dear, I need to see your dreams." The man in the wheelchair said, as he ushered her into the legendary Cerebo.
"Professor, can someone come in with me? I don't feel comfortable here." Kayla pleaded. Hoping that she could bring Rogue with her. "Anna Marie will have to stay outside. I am sorry." Charles said, putting on his metal helmet that was dosed with wires.
"Don't move a muscle, Kayla." He said, as she became very still. Her body trembled and she shook violently, falling to the ground on her knees. Charles' hands clenched, trying not to scream, even as powerful as he was.
The walls of Cerebo slowly but surely shifted into Kayla's mind, her dreams and thoughts coming to life. There was a woman, with long flowing red hair, glowing like an ember. Fire surrounded her entirely, like it was swallowing her whole.
Then, she flew into the sky, her hair trailing behind her like a red road. As she took her place in the dark cold sky, a huge bird made of flames was behind her, screeching a terrible screech.
The Goddess of Fire, The Angel of Death, Life Incarnate, moved her lips around, like she was talking, though her words were muffled by the screeching and screams. The screaming Kayla covered her ears with her hands, shaking her head in pain.
Xavier was attempting to reach his helmet to end the madness. With all of his strength, he threw the helmet to the ground as Cerebo turned back to normal. He turned around, to see Kayla laying in an odd position on the floor.
Her hair was scattered in front of her face in such a horrifying way, he wished not to look at her. "Are you alright? Can you hear me?" He asked her, when Logan's claws could be heard outside, scratching at the door.
"Xavier! Open up!" He yelled; as a woman's soft voice spoke. "Logan, calm the hell down, Ah think she's goin' to be okay." She said, as another man spoke, but this time with an accent. "Mon Cheri, n' Logan, Kayla is okay."
By now, you could guess who these three people were, as Xavier opened up the Cerebo doors to reveal Wolverine, Rogue, and Gambit. At once, Rogue was by Kayla's side, as Logan picked her up from the ground in a wedding sweep fashion.
"Give her some rest Prof. She deserves it." The man with the scruffy beard said, as the three of them walked out, Professor Xavier following. "What happened in there Charles? Ah am so worried 'bout her, ah mean, look at her. She's lifeless!" Rogue questioned when the Professor raised his hand and shook his head.
"Professer, escroc voudrait savoir ce qui est arrivé à Kayla dedans là. Comme meilleur ami de Kayla, je crois qu'elle devrait savoir." Gambit added, as Xavier furrowed his eyebrows in thought.
"He asked you to tell Rogue what happened, because she is Kayla's best friend and all." Wolverine said, plopping a cigarette from a students mouth and putting it in his own.
As they reached the elevator, Remy grinned. "I never knew you spoke French Logan." He said, as Rogue opened the elevator, and Logan brought Kayla inside.
"You'd be surprised what I learned in the last few years from 'Roro bub." Logan replied, as the rest of the gang piled into the elevator. The doors slowly started to close when a young girl put her hands between them. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"
The young woman was the one and only, Kitty Pryde. "Thanks for getting the elevator for m—hey! What the hell is wrong with her?" She asked, gesturing to Kayla. "We had a problem Cheri." Remy explained, trying not to give much detail.
"I see... Okay, umm… What floor you guys going to? I'm 3." Kitty sighed, watching the numbers go down and down. "Level 3 as well sugah. Ah have never seen yea up there." The southern belle smiled, and Kitty returned it. "Oh no, I'm visiting a friend up there. My friend said he was a real hunk." She smiled brightly, as the doors opened.
"Uhhh…. Nice meetin' you darlin'. I hope you have fun on whatever it is yea doin'." Rogue said, as Kitty waved and ran out. Gambit and Wolverine had been whatching this whole thing happen, and as they walked out the door they saw Kitty knock on the door of Colossus.
