X-men:evolution

Flashfire:




I watched as Silk took off at high speed in a daze ,"Thats just like you Cyclops,Jean very much,just like you two," mumbled,they probably know about me but who cares.I went after silk, this meeting wont wait.I grabbed her arm as she went past me."Are you alright?,"I asked.....


Cyclops:

I helped jean up "Treasue wait," I called "Let her go," Jean said."we have bigger problems," she finished.Yeah I thought in one word,Flashfire.....
 
Silk...

... her eyes widened as she felt the hand grabbing her arm... she almost lashed out but then his voice cut through her anger. "Are you alright?" He asked. Suddenly she realised that he was the only one who had really ever asked her that before. "Billy!" She flung herself into his arms and sobbed. Her hair winding about them both as she clung to him like he was a life line.
 
Jean...

let Cyclops help her to her feet. He tried to stop Treasure from running off but she stopped him. The girl was too angry to be caught right now.

"Let her go, we have bigger problems." She frowned. Silk was a lot stronger than she had realised. As Cyclops helped her up she winced in pain. "Ah!" she groaned clutching her waist.

"We've got to figure out what Flashfire was doing in her room... I don't understand... she seemed okay... he hasn't hurt her... what could be the reason?" She asked Cyclops.
 
Flashfire:

I held her close.I wiped the tears from her eyes,"It'll be ok," I said.I ran one hand through her hair pulling it out of her eyes.She felt so good in my arms,"Im here now,it will all be ok," i said....



Cyclops:


"She has been straying from us,maybe he is trying to recruit her for magneto," I said."Gather the other x-men we need to let them in on this," i said.Jean nodded....
 
Silk...

She didn't trust anyone really... but this guy had been there twice already. Once almost reading her exact thoughts... and now when she was at her lowest moment. She sniffled, struggling to stop the tears. Her eyes shone with something close to adoration as she looked up at him.

She nodded in agreement. "Take me away from here..." she whispered huskily. Her hair still moving about her. She was too emotionally to realise she was even doing it. Silky trendils danced across his arms that held her. She could feel him not only with her arms but her hair as well. She felt like she knew every inch of him.
 
Jean...

nodded in agreement. "Recruitment, you don't think she'd really turn do you?" She asked, looking about the room. She noticed the books Treasure had dropped, scattered across the floor. A small piece of crumpled paper had fallen out at the same time.

She picked it up and gasped... Cyclops was right. Without saying anything she handed it over to him. Jean hurried back to the others to organise them.
 
Flashfire:


I slide one arm around her shoulder pulling her close."Come, there is someone who really wants to meet you," I smiled and brushed another tear away from her cheek..


Cyclops:

I read and reread the letter.Low, this was low.time to fill the others in...
 
Silk...

nodded trustingly. "Okay... " smiling through her tears. She let him lead her away. She didn't once look back.
 
Jean...

had the others waiting when Cyclops came to fill them in. Jean's face reflected her concern. She hadn't said anything to the others yet, but they picked up from her that it was serious.
 
Flashfire:


I told her to wait a sec.I went in the office to see magneto sitting in a dark corner."She...It couldnt wait," he nodded."Come in," i told her....


Magneto:

I smiled as she entered the room.She gasped when she saw me."Flashfire said the meeting couldnt wait,"I said an nodded towards him. I extended my hand ....
 
Cyclops:


"Ok, we are having a serious problem and his name is flashfire," I said and filled them in on the whole story.



OOC:Lets work on the silk,flashfire thing give the others time to post
 
Silk...

ooc:... sound good... [smiles]

ic:

Silk's eyes widened in shock as she saw the man extending his hand towards her. "Magneto?" She yelped. Suddenly she realised she had been stupid trusting... Billy... so easily.

She backed away fearfully looking all around for a way out. Magneto smiled comfortingly, but Silk just shook her head trying to figure a way out. As she backed up she felt Billy's body behind her blocking her way. She froze, gasping.

She turned and glared at him. "Just answer me one thing... is Billy even your real name?" her eyes flashed defiantly.
 
ooc:

hey Sex Maniac... I'm going off line for about half an hour... but I'll be back... [smiles]
 
Flashfire:

"I havent lied to you at all,billy is my real name," I said
"Hear us out," I said. "We see how they have treated you in the x-men,I know how that feels,because at one time I was an x-men,I hate seeing you treated like an out cast,"I said.
"Magneto opened my eyes he helped me realize that I was more than I was becoming there,you see all we want to do is preserve life for all mutants,"I said.....


Magneto:


" you need respect,and you deserve it," I said. "we want you to join us be with us." I said....


Flashfire:

I was close to tears."Along time ago I saw a beauty in you no one else saw,I was there for you today for more than the meeting,Cyclops and Jean cant be trusted they left me to die,until magneto saved me," i said.

"Will you give us a chance,please,".......
 
Silk...

looked from Magneto to Billy and back again. She felt trapped... she didn't like it... but then... Billy seemed so sincere. She was confused. Needed time to think.

"What do you mean a long time ago?" She asked Billy, "have you been spying on me?"

"I don't recall anyone mentioning you... were you really part of the x-men team?" She asked. Her mind was working over time trying to analyse all this.
 
Silk...

"you're trying to recruite me? Why me? What do you mean preserve life for all mutants... isn't that what Professor Xavier wants too?"
 
Flashfire:


"I am not suprised they havent mention me,after leaving me to die ,ask them about me," I said. "No spying I just saw you once in a while," i said. "you dont think im being truthful,then read my emotions, I know you can," "the professors motive are noble,but He hardly knows what its like in the real world for a mutant,"I said.


"you must understand how much I care,what do I have to do to prove it?," I asked....
 
Silk...

looked at Billy in surprise. She had been too frightened to use her powers... afraid of what she might find out. She was surprised he even knew about them. As for proving himself. These words made her think... no one... no one had offerred to do that... for her before.

Tentatively she used her powers to reach out to him. She drew back quickly at the intensity of his emotions. She gasped in surprise almost crying out. He burned so hot, even his emotions screamed out at her. "Flashfire?" She asked. Her eyes widening. "You sent me that note..." she whispered almost to herself.

She turned away... struggling with her own emotions now. One down side to being able to read emotions was that when they were intense like those she just felt she couldn't help but be affected by them. She felt her heart racing, her cheeks burning with the intensity of it.

"I... I don't know... " she whispered... shaking her head. "I can't believe Jean and Cyclops would have left you to die... I've seen them sacrifice everything for the other x-men..." she faltered... realising she didn't really think they would do the same for her. Then she recalled Cyclops... he had always tried to talk to her... she never really responded to him, always thinking he was only being nice.
 
Flashfire:



"Yes,I sent the note,actually I gave it to you myself," I said. I reached in my pocket withdrawing an old photo. I handed it to her.I was a pic of the team during his time there."To this day I cant figure out why I was left behind," I said.The tears started." I know we break laws and am considered evil,but we have the right to be," i said. I wanted to embrace her....

Magneto:
" So what do you say,?" I asked."If you need to think,go ahead," i said....
 
Silk...

took the photo he offered her and her hand brushed against his. She was startled by the contact. She felt again his intensity of feeling for her. It was more real than anything she had ever experienced before. He really believed what Magneto was doing was right.

She looked down at the old photo. He looked happy, younger... she felt suddenly for that younger man. Felt his anger at those who had taken it away. What did she really have back at Xavier's school anyway? A bunch of people who only pretended to want her? She looked at Magneto... he seemed so much kinder than the evil man the x-men potrayed him as.

She shook her head slowly as if to say 'no'. Flashfire looked at her sharply, but Magneto held up his hand as if to tell him to wait. She looked up finally. "No... no... I don't need time to think... I want to stay with you..." she spoke to Magneto... but her eyes found Flashfire's and she held them with her own before smiling softly. It tranformed her normally serious face. The smile lighting up her eyes and making her seem even younger than she was.
 
Flashfire:

I smiled wide and said "Welcome," I moved foward to embrace her let her know how happy we were to have her,how happy I was." I We are going to make the x-men pay,ive got an Idea,"I said.

"We are going to play a trick on them,go back pretend this didnt take place,ask about me find out what they will say," I turned to magneto," Ill bring her to our home later," I said. He nodded at exited out the window in one of his little bubbles....
 
Silk...

"you... you want me to go back there?" she asked her face mirroring her lack of desire to do this.

Flashfire smiled charmingly at her. "Think of it as payback... and your first mission on our behalf... find out what you can... see if they are on to us..."

She frowned at this and as if reading her thoughts he added. "You're not spying on them... you're helping out your new family..."

That word seemed to strike a chord in her. She looked at him again with the same adoration he had inspired when he'd caught her running from Jean & Cyclops earlier that day. "Family?" She replied almost shyly. He nodded, hugging her close. She murmered happily as she snuggled against him. It felt so right to her. She nodded in agreement.

"Okay..." her look held a steely determination.
 
Flashfire:


"I wont be far behind you,ok" I said.She nodded."if you need me whistle,they wont know why you did and ill come running",I said.She was more beautiful than ever.We were far enough away they wouldnt hear me ,Go "I said gently....
 
Silk...

looked over her shoulder only once as if to check he was still there. She smiled before she walked with determination towards the school. Unaware of her seductive wiggle as viewd from the rear.

She tossed her head once and her hair instantly fell into place. It piled up on top of her head in a fashionable tumble of curls. Thus fortified she entered the main hallway and headed towards the conference rooms.

They were bound to be discussing her attack on Jean... she was already thinking up a good reply to their questions.

She entered the room and sure enough there stood Cyclops addressing the rest of the x-men. Jean was there to. They looked surprised by her appearance. She almost laughed. Yeah, they would have been happier if she hadn't returned.

"Hey guys..." she said quietely... knowing now was the time to play on their instincts towards forgiveness. "I'm sorry about earlier, I don't know what came over me..." She lowered her head. Jean reached out to her... mentally as well as physically. Silk was prepared for that clumsy attempt. Only her basic emotional senses warned her. Luckily Jean was only trying to comfort her, not read her mind. Silk pulled back blocking herself. Jean didn't look surprised. Thankfully Silk had always been stand-offish so instead she just touched Silks hand comfortingly.

"Hey... we understand... we shouldn't have invaded your privacy like that..." she smiled. It made Silk want to scream, that I'm so sweet butter wouldn't melt expression. Instead she smiled back. Cyclops held up a piece of paper and Silk's eyes flashed angrily momentarily. "Where did you get that?" She asked, her voice cool.
"The question is... when did you get it and why didn't you say anything?"
"Why should I? I thought it was a love letter... I don't even know who Flashfire is... should I?" She asked.
 
Cyclops:



"I feel we should tell you about him,and what your getting into," I started."He is ,was one of the most powerful members of the original x-men team,but we thought we lost him when a building collapsed with him inside," I said.

"Seems he's still alive," Silk said wonderingly.Something was strange about the way she acted....


Flashfire:
I listened in."You didnt even come look for me you jerks," I mumbled.She wasnt buying it I could tell.....
