Author's voice:I'm sorry! I got sick and then I had an exam! and and and...I'm sorry please leave some comments :D
Whoa not again..." Jean begged catching her glass as it tittered on the edge of the table. The whole team to looked at the rumbling volcano in fear anticipating lava to flow out any minute now. To everyone's relief, nothing happened. "Whoa that was terrifying..." Greer mumbled cleaning herself up. "Nah don't worry, its just an aftershock. Don't sweat it, if it acts up again, we can take it..." Bobby said coolly and went back to gnawing on his chicken. Slowly everyone followed his example and continued eating...Everyone except Amara. "Why aren't you eating Amara? Still feeling sick?" Scott asked. Amara shook her head. "No..." she whispered. Greer looked at her with concern. "You sure...You've been awful quiet after the eruption..." she reminded. That struck a nerve. Now it looked like Amara was about to cry. "Greer. I think...I think I was the one who caused it to act up..." she admitted. Greer starred at Amara dumbfounded. "What?" "Back in the hot springs...I accidentally powered up and there was this fisher and I touched it..." Greer felt the pit of her stomach flip over. "You touched a fisher with your powers activated? So the water...How it heated up...Oh my God Amara, do you have any idea what you..." "I know and I think I've have awaken it somehow..." Amara cried guilt written all over her face... "The whole mountain?!" Greer asked preparing to faint in disbelief. "Yes! And now I feel like I'm connected to it in some weird way.." Thunder rumbled, ending their conversation. "Uh oh...I think we've been found out...Look..." Kurt declared pointing to their ship. Greer watched as a huge storm cloud exploded from the ship with bolts of deadly electricity shooting out. To make matters worst, at that exact moment, the ground started shaking and splitting followed by a huge explosion. Amara and Greer turned their heads towards the volcano in horror just to see it spurt deadly volumes of magma. Amara buried her face in her hands. "We are so screwed..."
"Great! Not only do I have to deal with one force of nature...I get two..." Greer thought angrily as she watched craters popping out of the volcano like daisies. Only when she saw a crater fly towards her with such speed it would make Pietro jealous did she agilely leap out of its way. Greer looked at the smoldering table, or what was left of it and gulped. "I can take down thugs, deranged mutants even mad geneticists but there is no way I can survive an active volcano..." she thought grabbing a man just in time to avoid being crushed by another crater. "Thank...Thank you..." the man stuttered as Greer pulled him up into her arms and started running for their lives. "hey don't mention it..." Greer said shakily still not used to how people were treating her. Gently, she brought him into the safe house and laid him down. "Amara?! Amara?!" she yelled running back out. "Amara look out!" Greer warned as the ground below Amara's feet spilt into two revealing the boiling lava below. "Jesus do I have to save her to?" Greer panicked as Amara only stood before the crack, her body frozen like a block of ice. Her hands outstretched. Greer watched in amazement as the petite girl summoned the lava within the crack to flow backwards, saving herself. What she didn't expect was that the minute Amara did that, she started to calmly, CALMLY make her way towards the erupting volcano. "Amara!" both Greer and Tabitha screamed. Quickly, they both ran after her only to lose her in the inch thick fumes. "Amara! Where are you? Amara!" "Look out!" Greer yelled pulling Tabitha backwards just in time as a pool of lava shot over the wall and right onto where Tabitha was just standing. Looking at the sizzling ground, both girls backed away slowly. "Be careful..." Greer instructed a still shaken Tabitha. Running through the burning buildings she tried desperately to trail Amara's scent. However the smell of fumes were just too overwhelming. Deciding to just follow her instincts. Greer squinted her eyes and blundered through the smoke. Eventually, after what felt like hours of stumbling, ducking, coughing and avoiding being burnt alive, she finally made it to the top of the volcano. "Amara, are you here?" Greer spluttered looking around with her teary eyes. Finally with her vision focusing she saw Amara power up and...Leap headfirst into the volcano. "Amara!" Greer roared...
Greer looked worriedly into the volcano only to narrowly avoid being splashed by the bubbling lava. "Greer, what happened? Where's Amara?" Ororo asked as she landed gracefully beside the horrified Greer. Greer felt like there was gag in her mouth. After countless of gags..."She...She...She jumped..." Greer stuttered still traumatized by what she saw. "What?! Amara! Amara..." Storm yelled into the volcano. There was no reply, only the sound of boiling lava sizzling. Sizzling because the lava was... " Is the lava solidifying?" Greer asked in astonishment not believing her eyes as she watched the pools of deadly liquid fire become black thick sludge, sealing the cracks in the ground. "It is..." Storm replied amazed. "Storm! Greer!" Both women turned and came face to face with the rest of the team. "Did you find her?" Tabitha asked desperately stopping to catch her breath. Greer grimaced. She hated being the bearer of bad news... "No... She. She fell in.." Greer muttered her eyes downcast, her ears lowered. Just then there was an ear deafening "BOOM!" causing Greer and Storm to stumble and trip over each other. Turning around, Greer's eyes widened in shock to see no other than a calm and most importantly ALIVE Amara standing before her. "Amara? How..." "Whoa Amara, how cool are you?" Tabitha asked raising an eyebrow. "But how?" Storm asked her jaw hanging on their on hinges. Amara blushed from all the attention she was getting. "I... I can't explain it... It was like I somehow merged with the volcano and we were the same..." she said honestly, blushing at the vague reply. "Must be your whole magma thing huh?" Greer smiled relived that the team hadn't lost another member under her leadership...
