"Hey, kid. Want some pizza?"
"What is that?"
"Holy... you've never had pizza!?" Sean asked and I shook my head. "Your parents never got you some?"
"I don't remember my childhood. All I remember is the pain of being injected with adamantium, drowning afterwards and my dad getting killed when we tried to escape a few days later... at least I think it was a few days." I shrugged and sat in between Alex and Raven. "I've been locked in a cage ever since."
"Here. You're going to love it." Alex smiled and handed me a slice. "And I promise it doesn't have rats or raw meat."
"It smells weird."
"It's pepperoni, and this... is a Coke."
"Why is it fizzy and brown?"
"It's just like that."
"Oh, I didn't know the circus was in town!" An agent said and I immediately bared my teeth. "Come on, let's see those claws, sweetie."
"Would you like to see your intestines too!?" I yelled, standing up and was immediately held back by Alex and Angel. "Let me go!"
"It's not worth it." Alex whispered as Hank ran up to close the curtains and I continued to struggle.
"They're not mutants, right? Erik said I can't kill mutants. He didn't mention anything about killing those assholes!"
"You do that and you continue to give us a bad reputation." Raven defended.
"Good! They should fear us."
"No, they shouldn't." Angel said and slowly let go of my arms. "You're not a weapon, you're human just like they are... You just have a special gift, like we do."
"It's not... What is that?" I mumbled, elbowing Alex in the abdomen so he'd let me go.
"What's what?"
"That noise. You don't hear it?" I asked as the banging increased and a body fell from the sky. "Oh..."
Alex immediately grabbed me and we both hid behind the couch, his body shielding me from the shots being fired outside.
"Stay here, my ass!" Darwin yelled. "Alex, stay back with Lyla. The rest-"
"As if." I scoffed, showing my claws and ran towards the red mutant but he teleported behind me.
Every time I tried to slash him, he somehow managed to teleport away with a smirk.
"Little girl joining the big leagues." He taunted just as I grabbed his tail. "Why don't you go play with your dolls, sweetheart?"
"Why don't you get off my ass!?" I yelled, yanking his tail and slashed one of his eyes, successfully removing it from its socket.
