Flame

Chapter 3

Flame P.O.V
I cannot believe the events that just occurred around me. That little cheeky girl and her weird powers sheesh I wasn't trying to show off I guess I was just getting annoyed. Suddenly I was snapped back into the future to find that Fury had told cheeky girl or so called Phoenix to show me my chambers. She slowly stood up from the chair and strode towards me. I put my hand out in greeting while her green eyes studied my hand before shaking it. "Well come on then miss Flame this way to your room." She spoke with a hint of laughter. "What powers do you have Phoenix because by what I caught you don't like being called mutant."
"Yeah well I don't I was tampered with so end of that. I can use my mind to make you do what I want for example I put out that flame because you were pissing me off at that precise moment and as you can tell from the huge wings behind me I can fly." Huge eagle wings had just sprouted from her back. "Also my favourite is I can read or search through your mind, quite useful at times." She spoke with pride but downhearted as well so I gave a gentle look but was met by a harsh one so I didn't reply back. I followed her through winding hallways and rooms finally reaching a wide space almost big enough for my whole pack.
"Damn do they want all of the pack to come or just me." I heard Phoenix laugh as I said this as I walked in while she lingered in the doorway.
"So Flame Wolf, Captain A seemed a bit flushed at your presence?" She asked with a glint in her eye.
"Hah I don't know why I'm nothing special compared to our healer. By the way were you asking for me to throw that flame at you because believe me it felt like it."
"Well maybe a bit I didn't know you were going to do that and damn the thoughts running through your head were lets say interesting." I gave her a questioning look as she said this
"So you were the one racking through my brain. Well next time could you at least warn me in advance like a nod or a thumbs up because that hurt like hell!"
"Sorry but if I want to see what your thinking then I can't really give a big thumbs up because it may ruin the point of stealth. And anyway I want to know what you think of Captain A." I blushed a bit as I thought of what went through my mind when I saw him one of them was Goodness me quite handsome isn't he I even feel embarrassed at thinking of it. Crap I suddenly thought OW! What the hell! Crap she's reading my thoughts again oh no please I thought don't say anything please. I started to plead in my head as I turned towards her with a guilty look on my face.
"It's your own fault you shouldn't of thought of it." She put her hands up and grinned. I laughed sarcastically and replied
"Please don't tell him what I think. It would be god damn rude and I wouldn't want to be seen as a slut because I am NOT!" I felt my eyes shine brighter with anger and Phoenix glared back so i did too sadly I didn't know the consequences. Her eyes started to shine gold, brighter and brighter OW. I felt a burning sensation in my body and I started to heat up. I smiled thinking ha I don't get burnt by flames. But then the burning sensation became pain and the pain became agony. I stared at her trying to hide the pain but I winced slowly I felt the pain leave and her eyes flickered green again.
She grinned happily "Sheeesh it wasn't that bad a thought. I have seen worse trust me. Oh and don't worry your secret's safe with me." She winked at me as she turned to leave the room,
"oh and training starts in about 10 mins but I will come get you so you aren't late. See ya."
And with that I thought I may have found a true friend or an enemy and one which I could either share secrets or she would blurt them out to Captain America tonight or worse.

I walked down to the training room by myself , I thought it better than walking with that so called bird girl. I had my headphones in to blur out the commotion around me. My favourite music was jazz I guess the swing and rhythm entertained me and just the overall song lifted my mood and took me back to the 1940's. I got lost straight away so I just kept turning down random paths. This hell of a place is definitely not like home at all at least I could smell the woods around me and the sweet smell of ponds. Whereas here the only thing I smelt was metalwork, sweat and spies. In The Mood started to play so I started to sing along and dance. I twirled around and tapped my feet as if dancing with a partner. I suddenly bashed into a solid object to find Captain America in front of me.
"Oh I am terribly sorry I was trying to find the way to the training court do you know where it is?" I asked slightly bashful.
"Of course marm follow me." He blushed bright when he said. I looked at me questionably as I started to hum again "So you like jazz music?" he asked
"Yes of course it is my favourite but no one at home listens to it so I just practice dancing by myself." As soon as I said this I felt vulnerable
"Maybe I could come join you one time?"
I blushed, nodding my head and laughing at the same time. When I had to squish up to him when another soldier walked past all I could think was what's going through his head. I smiled nervously at him and he blushed bright. Finally we reached the training court after talking to Captain A about the different things we enjoyed back from the 1940's. I looked at the familiar faces but skipped Phoenix's in case she tried to burn the living daylight out of me. I walked towards a room labelled Flame and walked in to find a target board and a button. I stared intently at the target waiting for a sign of movement but none came so I conjured a flame and threw it straight at the target. Again and again I threw until a human sized object appeared abruptly in front of me. I ran forward and slashed through it with my two blades as it slowly vanished. The court had gone quiet and I could hear breathing in the doorway, must be waiting for the party to start. I felt a tingle in my body as I formed into my wolf form and my gaze turned to my observer. Sheesh I thought it was only supposed to be one but all of the Avengers stood there even Phoenix looking: bewildered. I barked trying to laugh while they all stared open mouthed. I ran to target ready to crunch it up. Unexpectedly it whizzed to the side of the room and I sensed magic at work; I turned round to see the rest of the group going back to work whereas Phoenix was staring right at me gradually I walked up to her and Captain was still bewildered. "So if you want to play like that why don't we try it with something else but a little harder..." I thought as I felt her reading my brain. She smirked and pointed towards Captain America and answered "Fight him while I hurtle objects at you." She smiled challenging me I howled in reply and strode towards the battle ment in the middle. I glanced at the many fighting skills around me before the battle started, Stark was full on attack while clever at the same time, Black Widow was up front and close combat whereas Hawkeye used a bow just like Phoenix both were advanced skills and Captain I guessed was still buffy and headstrong but agile at the same time giving both of us an edge. Me, my battle skills were I sneaked up easily and tired out the opponent with dodging my flames so finally when they ran forward I snatched them up and crushed them with my jaw. I howled starting the fight, he started to go round and round me so I joined in. As he swung his shield I grabbed it in my jaw like a frisbee and threw it back with all my force winding him, therefore in his moment of weakness I rushed with a formidable glint in my eyes and pushed him into the floor but he was not so easily beaten a metal object crashed into my neck and I staggered back letting him go. He jumped and rammed into me pinning me into the wall. I looked him in the eye and saw them soften with my gaze so I twisted round and under his legs now in my human form my two daggers ablaze. I sniggered at him menacingly as he rushed forward trying to tackle me but I jumped over his head and pinned one dagger to his chest another to his back as he struggled finally relaxing. I let him go as he looked defeated and I smiled kindly brightening his mood. Rapidly the metal piece came whizzing back to me but I caught it just in time before it hit the floor with a thud. Applause surrounded us and Phoenix taunted "Well that definitely shows my point that you two would get on but now it's my turn for a fight..."
