Big thanks to my reviewers and everyone else who has taken the time to read my little story. It really means a lot to me!
I don't own and X-men movies, comics or TV shows.
Morgan POV
The next few weeks… months… years… I'm not sure… you never know how long you've been in here, were pure torture. Stryker was testing just how far my powers would go before I either passed out or lost control and then passed out. Every time I saw Stryker I wanted to blow him into oblivion and every time he reminded me that Remy's life was in my hands.
I did learn that my powers were very strong, stronger than I could ever imagine. I found out about my wings and was soon able to conjure them at will. If it wasn't for the cuffs blocking my powers and knowing that Remy would die if I disobeyed orders, I would have busted out of here long ago. But I couldn't. Not without Remy.
Remy had become my lifeline. He was the only thing that kept me going. After experiments I would drop into my cell and crawl over to the bars separating us. He would sit by me and stroke my hand through the bars until I fell into a fitful sleep. He always told me that he would get us out of here. I could just nod my head, too exhausted to speak.
Remy POV
I watched helplessly as the guards took Morgan away for another round of experiments. Every time she looked more bruised and battered than before. She had grown skinny and gaunt, losing most of her womanly figure. But she never gave up. And that made her beautiful.
I had realized something while looking over her. Morgan was no longer the young teenage girl that I had met those few short years ago. She was a woman now. She was a strong, proud woman who I would give my life for. I owed it to her to get her out of here.
I started watching the guards, taking mental notes of the exact moments that they took my cuffs off when I had to do any tests or experiments. With some skill, and a lot of luck, I just might be able to get my hands on something to charge and blow up. Then I could easily bust out. Unfortunately for me, Stryker did experiments on Morgan nearly everyday, leaving her too weak to even have a chance to escape. Time passed on until finally, after waiting for what seemed like a lifetime, I found my chance.
Stryker had left the facility for a while which meant the guards were a little more sloppy in their handling of the mutants. I guess that's because there isn't a crazed Colonel breathing down their backs. Morgan had only been going to get DNA tests done, nothing that would wear her out too much. The guards had just taken her to the scientists when they came back for me. I slipped a few pebbles into my hand, (they never let me take my cards out of the cell) and let them lead me to wherever I was going. As soon as we got into the room I saw Morgan being strapped down. They were still wary of her power's strength.
As soon as my cuffs were off I charged the pebbles and threw them at the guards. They stumbled backwards and I ran to Morgan's side tearing off the straps. One of the nurses hit the alarm and soon the building was filled with sirens and flashing lights. I grabbed Morgan's hand and we took off out of the room and down the corridor. Guards from above started shooting at us but Morgan cast a protective dome around us. Guards poured in from a door in front of us. I faltered until I saw the slivers of sunlight coming from the door. That was our way out.
Morgan flung her hand out, causing the guards in front of us to fly backwards. We continued to run until we made it to the door. We stepped outside, blinded momentarily by the Sun.
The Sun. Something I hadn't seen in ages.
Morgan POV
Remy had done it! Remy had gotten us out of there. We stood there, watching the Sun as it was just starting to set, fingers intertwined. It was beautiful.
We were brought back to the real world as bullets whistled by us. We started to run again. We ran as fast as we could until we realized something critical. We were on an island. We skidded to a stop where the land ended in a steep drop to the water below. We could see the mainland from where we stood.
"What do we do now?" I asked, turning to face Remy.
He looked around for a boat but there was no boat in sight. He took my face in his hands and looked me straight in the eyes.
"You know those wings you told me about?" I nodded my head. "You have to use them Chère."
I looked at him wide eyed. "I've never flown with them! I don't even know if they work!" I exclaimed.
"You have to Voodoo! It's the only way off the island."
I nodded my head and concentrated, calling on my wings to form. When I opened my eyes, long blue tendrils had sprouted from my back with a thin veil of blue connecting each tendril.
"We have to go now!" Remy said urgently, looking over his shoulder at the guards, who were coming closer.
"I don't know if I can!" I said.
"You have to!" Just then a bullet flew past Remy's face, nearly clipping him.
"NOW!" he shouted as he threw us off the side of the cliff.
My body went on overdrive as my large wings unfurled, catching the air as we were about to plummet into the dark waters below us. I clung on to Remy, afraid to drop him, as we glided over the water. I could see the mainland rushing up fast.
I pulled up as we were about to hit the cliff of the mainland, before dropping Remy on the ground below. Exhausted, I hit the ground, landing not far from him, and felt my powers slowly fade away.
Remy jumped up and pulled me up. Hugging me fiercely he whispered, "We did it Voodoo. We're alive now."
I looked back at him before doing something that shocked me. I closed the gap between our lips, kissing him hard. He was surprised for a moment before returning the kiss with much fervor.
I final pulled back to breath and when I opened my eyes, Remy was grinning at me. He silently took my hand and led me into the shadows of the city, the sound of sirens fading in the background.
YAY! Another chapter done! Reviews and constructive criticism welcome!
