A Mutant Among Mutants (xmen first class fanfic)

Chapter 8

We all clamber on the ship and buckle in.

It literally took like 5 minutes to get to the line. This ship is legitimately fast.

"Am I the only one freaking out? What if we crash? What if a war starts? What if one of us gets hurts? God I wouldn't be able to live without any of you" I ramble nervously.

"Rienna get a grip," Sean and Alex shout in perfect unison.

"I know I know sorry," I mumble. Raven rubs my back and I smile at her. Hank hooked up the radio so we hear the messages from each side.

"The Russians have ordered their ship to turn around but it's not," Hank informs. I close my eyes and expand my mind.

On the ship there are no active minds but their is one slowly fading. I quickly peer in and I see Azazeal killing another crewmate then grabbing the wheel.

"The crew is dead Shaw has taken control of the ship," Charles and I report.

"Wait I have an idea," Charles chimes and holds two fingers to his head. A minute later a missile comes sailing right at us. Hank veers the ship and does a complete barrel roll. Charles holds onto Raven and out of the corner of my eye I see Alex grab Sean's seat belt. My stomach is churning and I scream along with everyone else. When we finally stop churning the Russian ship about to cross the line has been shot down.

"Yes we did it," I cheer. But my cheers fall short Erik is determined to avenge his mother.

"Where's Shaw we have to find him," Erik demands.

"I can't find him and we don't have sonar scanners," Charles sighs. I know he's lying he sees Shaws mind and so do I. I quickly send him a mental thank you.

"Dont we?" Sean asks and stands up. Well there goes the only chance at my dad living. Don't get me wrong I know he deserves death and probably a lot worse but enough blood has been spilt on his account.

"Right Sean drop down use you sonic scream and Rienna if you could hover above the water and lift him out," Charles instructs.

"I will." I nod and unbuckle my seatbelt.

"I'm sorry," Charles whispers to me. I don't answer I just unfold my wings and fly out of the hatch after Sean. Sean does one circle the drops down. I fly after him and hover just above the water.

A few minutes later Erik is lowered on a landing wheel. Erik holds out a hand and looks as if he is concentrating. I look into Seans mind and see he found a submarine. Sean bobs his head up. I point my hand down and freeze a small circle for me and Sean to stand on.

"Alright dry off a little while Erik is raising the submarine from the water," I murmur and grab Sean's hand to pull him onto the small ice platform.

"Woah," we both gasp and gawk as the huge metal sub slowly levitates out of the water and hangs in the air. Erik has gotten so strong.

"Rienna you know you don't have to do this you don't have to help he is your father we won't think any different of you," Sean whispers to me.

"I-I," I stammer I have no words. Why am I helping them? I could desert them. But that doesn't feel right.

"To tell you the truth Sean I don't know what I'm doing anymore," I confess. "I'll see what's goin on." Closing my eyes I expand my mind.

"Okay so Alex and Hank are fighting Azazeal-oh no," I yell and whip around. "Alex and Hank, Azazeal teleported them up there let's go." I grab Sean's arm and lift him up so he can get a head start on flying. "Okay Azazeal teleported them back on the beach but Alex fell on that ship and Angel is attacking him," I explain to Sean.

"Gotcha Rina," Sean calls back. I dart to Angel and body slam her hard to keep her from spitting more acid fire.

"Alex jump Sean will catch you!" I scream to Alex. Angel and I throw punches in the air. "Angel stop this rejoin us," I beg as we fight.

"No go sleep with the fishes," Angel yells and spits and acid ball at me. I try to dodge it but it hits my wing.

The acid fire spreads from one wing to the other and they both burn. I sonic scream in pain and fall. Stars exploded in my head. The pain is unbearable so much that I'm going to fall and drown. Then a voice enters my head.

"Rienna concentrate make and ice slide for you to slide down" Charles whispers in my head. The voice is small so he must be trying speak to somebody else. But I take the advice and do the best I can.

Still screaming tears pooling down my face and freezing or evaporating. I manage a crude looking ice slide. I hit it hard. More pain. Sliding down is terrible but getting launched onto the beach is worse. With my mind clouded I accidentally made an ice slide that juts up at the end so I go flying. Everything happened so quickly.

I slam into a tree hard. I think I broke some ribs, my right ankle, and left leg. Black dots speckle my vision. There is so much pain I'm almost numb.

But I manage to see Alex shoot Angel down with his red atom power. Funny thing was he is upside down.

Wait, suddenly I realize I'm hanging upside down by my broken leg in a tangled vine.

"Rienna hang on oh god please," Sean begs as he runs up followed by Alex. I weakly shake my head no. There is no coming back from this.

"Please Rina," Alex pleads.

"We all need you," Sean adds.

"Please," they say in unison. If I fall asleep I will probably die. Giving up is not in my nature. But the pain, I want it to stop.

Sean undoes the vine and Alex gently lowers me to the ground. If I open my mouth I will just scream so I weakly smile.

"Guys pleas sit me up my back is charred and the sand isn't helping" I say in there minds. They nod and help me sit up. I cried out in pain making them flinch. Then I hear Charles screeching his head off. I peer into his mind and quickly pull out. More tears cascaded down my face.

"Are you in more pain what's wrong-oh," Sean and Alex gasp. I painfully turn my head. What I saw is to awful to describe. I nearly throw up my breakfast right there one the beach.
