Okay, so according to Hippie, we have no lives. Since she got bored and decided to flee to Blitzie's house (which took her almost a half hour to find...) the new chapter is up Mondayish and then the NEXT one will be up Wednesdayish. ;D
And this is called "Sparks Fly". Gee, no idea at all who the main character in this chapter will be. Next chapter, Magneto's being more of a creeper than he usually is (which is usually towards Charles ;3)
and WE HAVE OUR OWN TRAINING MONTAGE! But uh, we're low budget, so imagine the "groovy" sixties music. and sadly no CHAAARLES in this chapter. and his bluer-than-blue eyes.
When Hadley began teasing Erik about his helmet, he simply found it mildy annoying.
After the fourth comment, he was ready to take his "girly, magenta helmet" and throw it at her head.
Beast turned to Hadley, trying to keep himself from looking at Raven, who was examining the new recruits, and asked a very important question. "How the heck did you locate him just by rotating your wrist?"
Magneto raised an eyebrow at this. "You found me via some clueless girl who doesn't even understand who exactly she's trying to taunt?"
"Hey!" the redhead snapped. "Listen here, Dancy," Magneto looked confused at this, while Bree and Alex began snickering, "sure, I'm a newbie. BUT I'M A NEWBIE WHO JUST FOUND YOUR SORRY MAGENTA-CLAD ASS LOITERING HERE GOING 'LA DEE DAH.'" Hadley's face was red and she was breathing heavily from her outburst, while everyone looked awed. Sparks shot from her fingers to go along with her anger.
Raven looked amused, and shapeshifted from her blue form into the 'normal' blonde Raven. "If only we had Emma," she mused, shooting Magneto a glance. She shifted back into blue form and Hadley gasped, while Beast let out a growl under his breath.
"HANK!" she shrieked. "Bozo," Bree corrected. Hadley ignored her and continued excitedly, her anger forgotten. "It's your blue problem!" she squeaked, bouncing up and down on her heels and pointing at Raven. Hadley walked up to the blue girl and stuck out a hand.
"Hi, I'm Hadley!" she chirped. "Or Electra! That's my code name! Bree came up with it, that girl next to Havok! Say hi, Phobreea!" Bree shot Hadley a disgusted look, and connected her hand with her face in an annoyed facepalm.
Hadley sighed and turned back to Raven. "So you must be Mystique, Captain Pink-Cap's right hand man! Er… woman… blue person thing…" Raven shot her a look that mirrored Bree's. "Raven will do. I'm among my fellow mutants."
She gave Magneto a subtle glance, who nodded and lifted his hands. The fingers began curling and he focused on a point in the background. The already destroyed building began shifting slightly once more, the metal being forced from its structure.
A long steel rod impaled the lab table with all of the data on it, and a second fell in front of the three X-Men behind Hadley.
Beast gaped. "What are you doing?" he growled, and Magneto rolled his eyes. "She's driving me nuts. You're all bugging me. I can't help mutants who don't want to be helped."
He made a slashing movement in the air and a third rod of metal shot down, its target Hadley's head. She lifted her arms in the air in an attempt to swat it away, hands shooting sparks wildly. Her right connected with the rod and while Hadley shrieked in pain at the contact, so did Magneto. In a more manly sense.
The steel was sparking with electricity, giving off shocks as Magneto let go of his control to stop hurting. It fell and Hadley had to jump out of the way, still shaking her hand in pain. "Mystique," Magneto hissed, "distract them!"
She gave him a dirty look. "How the hell do I do that?" He shrugged. "Do something!"
Raven seized a concoction that had survived the mess and threw it at the opposing side. "Sorry," she whispered. Only Beast, with his super ape hearing, heard her. The potion practically blew up, spewing liquid everywhere and starting a small fire. Smoke issued from the cracked test tube, and completely obstructed the vision of the four.
When the smoke cleared, both M's were gone. Removed from the premise. Just plan vanished. "Holy shit," Bree whispered. She glanced at Hadley. "How the hell did you do that?"
WHEREVER THE HELL MAGNETO IS BASED
GEE GAIZ, WHAT YEAR DO YOU THINK THIS IS?
Azazel was gaping at his leader, who had burns on his hands. "What the hell happened in there?" he demanded. Emma and Angel both eyed Raven, who just shrugged. "I don't know what went on," she admitted.
Emma stood up. "May I?" she asked sweetly. Raven nodded. Her mind became invaded then by Emma Frost. The telepath searched through Raven's recent events and gasped under her breath when she saw exactly what hurt Magneto.
"Well?" Riptide demanded, making mini tornadoes in his palm. Emma smirked. "She's an electrokinetic, first of all."
Azazel raised an eyebrow and Magneto shot her a look. "A what?" he asked, gritting his teeth from the pain. "An electrokinetic," Emma explained, "has power over electricity. And metal conducts electricity, Magneto."
