I do not own X-men. I own Tiffani and Lexi.
Story Start
"Or so I thought," Tiffani thought with a scowl when Magneto appeared and entered the cottage. "Now what to do," she thought as she prowled among the forest surrounding the cabin. She cringed when she heard Lexi yell at Magneto and Sabretooth from inside the cabin.
"Hello Lexi," Magneto said calmly after entering the cabin. He was met with a glare from the young woman, who was tied to a chair. Sabretooth was standing behind her.
"Why am I here?" Lexi asked as she tried to use her powers, but something was keeping them from working.
"Stop trying to use your powers. They will not work right now. You are here because I want you to join me and fight against those fools that want to destroy mutants," Magneto explained with a scowl as he thought of all the attempts to cure or stop mutants.
"You know, world domination has not worked for anybody so far so I doubt it will work for you," Lexi said with an annoyed look. Her sarcasm made Sabretooth growl behind her.
"I did not say world domination," Magneto said sitting in a chair across from Lexi.
"Not yet, but usually people with your way of thinking will eventually think about world domination," Lexi explained while shrugging her shoulders as much as her restraints would allow.
"So I'm guessing that you do not wish to fight with my side," he answered with a raised eyebrow.
"Your side, their side, why are there always sides? You're guessing correctly though. I'm only fighting on the side that will not tie me to a chair. Also, my friend will be here soon and I doubt she will appreciate seeing her friend tied to a chair," she said with a smirk and right on time a grizzly bear busted the door open and hit Sabretooth away from Lexi.
The bear let out a roar before it cut the ropes holding Lexi to the chair and the bear charged at Magneto. Lexi ran out of the cabin and smiled when her powers were no longer restricted. She watched Tiffani run out of the cabin in the form of a raccoon and Lexi sent a big wave of water at Magneto when he ran out of the cabin.
"Why are you a raccoon?" Lexi asked confused and Tiffani turned back to her normal self.
"Raccoons are cute but they can be extremely vicious when they want to be," her friend explained and pointed to Magneto," who had scratches and bite marks all over his face and hands.
"Touché," Lexi said and sent another blast of water towards Sabretooth, who had regained his footing after the hit from Tiffani in bear form. "Where are the others?" she yelled at her friend, who now had lion features so she could fight Sabretooth and Lexi could deal with Magneto.
"I left them back there, but they should be smart enough to show up here soon. If Logan uses his nose then he can figure out where we are," Tiffani said with a smirk before dodging an attack of Sabretooth's claws and trying to attack him next.
"Magneto," Logan's roar sounded and Lexi almost jumped in surprise when Logan and the others appeared.
"Tiffani," Kurt yelled in surprise when he saw Tiffani fly through the air and slam into a tree after Sabretooth was able to punch her in the stomach.
"Sabretooth," Magneto yelled when more of the X-Men started to arrive to fight against him.
"Coward," Lexi scowled as she threw more water towards Magneto and Sabretooth. She smirked when she made the water form into a water twister. Magneto and Sabretooth were twisting higher in the force of the water. Lexi concentrated and used the water to force them out of the water and towards the ground at a fast speed.
A large crash sounded when the two men hit the ground. Jean and Scott worked quickly to knock the men unconscious. Some of the others were relieved before Tiffani walked up towards Lexi.
"Wait, wasn't she hurt? Where is Kurt?" Lexi thought but gave a smile to Tiffani.
"Good work," Tiffani said and went to give Lexi a high five. Lexi immediately narrowed her eyes and trapped Tiffani in a water bubble.
"Usually I would get a hug after a fight like this," Lexi said and she grinned when an outraged Mystique appeared in the bubble instead of her friend.
"Tiffani," Kurt's frantic voice yelled and Lexi cursed when Mystique somehow escaped the water prison. Mystique rushed towards Jean and Scott. Lexi was torn between stopping the woman and checking on her friend. Logan growled and jumped in front of Lexi when Magneto sent an attack of metal objects from the cabin towards her. He deflected the attack and protected Lexi, but Magneto, Sabretooth, and Mystique took that moment to escape.
"Stop moving, you're hurt," Kurt said frantically and Lexi looked over to where Tiffani had hit the tree. She gasped when she saw Tiffani cough up some blood when she tried to stand.
"Get her in the jet," Jean ordered and Kurt picked Tiffani up as easily but as quickly as he could.
"Tiffani," Lexi yelled and went to run towards the jet, but Logan grabbed her hand and they both ran to the jet. She was surprised and even more surprised when Logan made her sit by him. "I have to check on her," she hissed when she saw Jean trying to help her friend.
"The best we can do right now is let Jean help her until we can get back to the mansion," Logan said and Lexi could see he was trying to calm her down, but he also looked unhappy that her friend was hurt. She still looked ready to go sit by Tiffani, but a hand gently squeezing her hand made her stop. She frowned at her friend before looking up at Logan. Her heart jumped at the reassuring look he was giving her.
"She's strong, you know she is. She will be fine. I'm sure she knows that you would hurt her dearly if she did not come back to you," he said and Lexi gave a happy smile before a tear slid down her face. He gently wiped away the tear and Lexi leaned against him as they continued to hold hands.
The trip to the mansion seemed too long. Tiffani was rushed to the medical room and Hank and Jean worked quickly to help her. Kurt, Logan, and Lexi stood outside the medical room and waited to see what would happen. Logan stayed by Lexi's side and she was thankful for the comfort he provided. She was surprised by what he was doing, but she was not going to complain.
Kurt was pacing and twisting his hands with worry. Lexi gave a frown before she grabbed one of Kurt's hands. He gave her a surprised look before she smiled at him.
"She'll be fine," she said softly and gave his hand a squeeze. The three stood outside for a few hours before Jean left the room.
"We were able to stop the internal bleeding. She'll have a nasty bruise, but she will be fine. She's sleeping now but when she wakes she will need to rest for a few days," Jean said and she smiled when she heard sighs of relief.
Lexi and Kurt were the first people to visit Tiffani when she woke up the next day. Lexi laughed when she saw her friend was restrained to the bed. "What did you do?" she asked.
"I do not like being stuck in a bed no matter how sick or hurt I am," Tiffani whined. "I just wanted to go to the living room and watch television, but oh no, Jean did not like that," she said and growled at her restraints.
"Of course you will not listen to what the doctor says," Lexi said before hugging her friend.
"I'm so happy you are awake," Kurt said and he was the next person to hug Tiffani. She was surprised and she smiled at the blush on his face.
"Thanks Kurt," Tiffani said and kissed him on the cheek.
"Oh look, squirrel lady is awake," Logan's voice said as he entered the room and stood beside Lexi.
