Beautiful Ruins

Chapter 116

"Nobody is dying but you" I say, I can kill Magneto, I just have to stop being afraid of my powers and use them to their fullest extent. Fire surrounds Magneto and a strong gust of wind sends him stumbling into the fire, vines pull him down and he screams in pain. Killing Magneto won't completely stop the x-men, but it does stop their genius leader, him and Mystique made the plans and came up with the idea to take over the world.

Something metal comes flying at me, I duck just in time, and it falls to the ground behind me. I see the metal rising into the air and a strong gust of wind sends it flying into Magneto, I hear a loud noise as it hits his head, Magneto's eyes widen as he stares at me, horror written all over his face. A trail of blood is running down the side of his head, but that is nothing compared to what he put me and my friends through.

I glance down at my wrists and see cuts appearing, this hasn't happened before. What is happening to me? The cuts don't hurt, I can't feel any pain. "You've never used all your powers at once, your body can't handle it" Magneto chuckles, does he seriously think a few cuts will stop me from using my powers?

Fire is surrounding us, I glance to my left and I see Peter swinging and knocking a mutant down, Milo then chops off the mutant's head without hesitation. I blink. Milo is awesome but he does scare me sometimes.

Vines start emerging up from the ground, dragging mutants down and holding them down, fire is travelling through the ground, somehow knowing to leave the avengers. I gasp, this is why the x-men were so afraid of Charles having a kid, this is why Estella knew she had to flee and never tell Charles that I existed.

The cuts on my wrists are gone, my body has already healed them. I grab my knife and head over to Magneto, it's time to end this. The vines are holding his body to the ground, and I can see burn marks on his body. Despite everything, I have no desire for him to suffer, I just want him dead so that he'll never manipulate another child again or kill an innocent person.

Magneto rips free of the vines, leaping up and shoving me, I stumble backwards, I dodge as Magneto lunges and tries to grab me, I throw my knife and it hits the side of his stomach, Magneto grabs his stomach, when he pulls his hand away, I can see blood. It's not bad enough to be fatal, but it'd still be painful.

"Do you really think you have a chance against me? I made you" Magneto says, his eyes glistening with anger, but it's different this time. I can see the fear he's trying to hide; he knows I have a chance. My fire is spreading around, and vines are still pulling the mutants down, I've never used my powers to this extent before.

"Estella made me" I snap, I glare at Magneto, it's his fault that Estella didn't get to raise me, it's his fault that I turned into this monster. "I am Estella Raven's daughter and I'm going to stop you, just like she wanted."

I shove Magneto and he trips; I stab his shoulder blade; he grabs me and shoves me to the ground. I wince as my head hits the ground, I can already feel blood, not that it's going to stop me. Magneto places his hands around my throat, but fire emerges, burning his hands. I bring my knee up into his chest and shove him off me.

"Storm" Peter yells, throwing something to me. It's the spear Magneto used to kill Henry with, I give Peter a nod to show him I understand.

"You'll never escape what happened to you, I will haunt you until your dying breath, you can kill me, but you can't erase me from your mind" Magneto says, vines are pulling him down, he isn't resisting. He knows he's lost this fight.

"This isn't because of what you did to me. This is for my friends, Clover, my mother, and Peter's aunt" I say, he's responsible for all their deaths and I'm not letting him continue to terrorise people. Henry wasn't supposed to die today, Magneto should've killed me instead.

"It won't bring them back" Magneto says. I ignore the taunt and raise the spear, there's no point dragging this out. I don't want Magneto to suffer, I just want him dead. I throw the spear into Magneto's chest, he gasps and starts coughing, blood emerging from his lips.

I turn around, looking for Peter. My eyes widen as I see Kurt about to throw a knife into Peter's back, wind emerges and sends Kurt flying backwards, I have no idea how his legs healed so quickly, but I don't care.

"Peter!" I yell, running over to him. Peter smiles as he sees me, he glances past me, and his smile widens as he sees Magneto is dead. "I did it for everyone he killed."

"Thank you for thinking of May" Peter says quietly, I place my hand on his shoulder. "Henry didn't deserve that; he was like my brother."

It's quiet around us, the avengers were surprisingly a lot more powerful than the x-men, most of the x-men are either dead or unconscious and being loaded into police vans.

"Storm, Peter" Milo runs over to us, his eyes filled with concern. I smile as I see Milo is okay. My smile drops as the concern doesn't leave his face once he sees us, someone's been hurt. Please tell me Ned and MJ didn't come outside.

"Are Ned and-"

"It's Tony" Milo interrupts Peter. "He's dead." 

*Author's Note* My girl is so powerful! A sad ending to the chapter.
