A wave of nausea hit Shannon, her vision blurred, black spots fluttered acrosss her vision.

She tried to focus on the sets of boots coming her way "Stay awake." Ordering herself, she tried to move again, the pain shotting through her body.

Beads of sweat fell from her hair as she gritted her teeth. Unbuckling her seat belt she turned towards Samantha, gently she lifted her cuffed hands to her foes face and closed her eyes "I know you hated my kind but I will always try to protect your son."

"I'm sorry you got stuck in the middle of this."  Stretching her arms past Samantha towards the busted window, the pain pulsing inside her left shoulder, it pulled obviously dislocated.

Dragging with her right hand, she bit the inside of her mouth to stop herself from screaming as her fingertips reached the metal door frame, the air just touching the tips of her fingers as she stretched as far as she could.

An explosion of sound came from behind here as metal crushed against metal, her fingers grasped the side of the door as she began to pull herself up with one hand, she could taste the freedom.

Suddenly she felt a hand grasp her ankle dragging her by her legs back the way she had come. Panicking she snatched on to anything she could grasp.

As she was pulled from the car, she caught a glimpse of what remained of the door that had been firmly on and was now in a crumbled heap on the ground.

Kicking as hard as she could, her feet connected with something hard, adrenaline coursed through her body, turning she realized what she had been kicking.

One of the owners of the black boots was the tall blonde surfer looking guy from New York , the other was a man of metal, built like a gladiator encased in a sheet of steel, his eyes caught Shannon's as she fought off his grip, his shovel sized hand held tightly around Shannon's right ankle. They both wore black and both looked like they were itching for a brawl.  

"Hey Colossus relax man, I know you've been under cover for a while now but go easy. Knight wants her in one piece." 

Using his other hand the metal man known as Colossus smiled a sadistic smile "Get the van Beef."

His voice full of menace as he again began to drag Shannon along the tarmac floor.

Shannon shot her power against them both, Beef was thrown against the eight wheeler truck while Colossus dropped to his knees returning to the human form of a dark gladiator. Struggling to her feet she blindly ran in the opposite direction of the metal man, she staggered trying to focus on where to run, the blood from the gash in her face dripped in her eyes, the pain radiating from her discolated shoulder.

She could hear him gaining on her, focusing as much power as she could muster she spun lashing her hands around, the pain ripped through her arm causing her to scream as her balled up fists got caught in Colossus's vice like grip, another blast caused him to go off balanced as Shannon pulled back, he caught the metal chain holding Shannon's hands together freeing her hands .

Throwing her weight back and aiming her power in to Colossus's face but he dodged and grasped her by the throat with his left hand, tightening his grip.

His metal fingers digging in to her skin as Shannon gasped for breath. "You won't win." He scoffed as she struggled in his hand.

Pulling his right hand back as Shannon could feel her conscious ebbing away, the black spots of unconsciousness returning.

Struggling to focus on the metal fist aimed at her she braced herself for the pain.

Colossus released his powerful fist towards the helpless creature in his hand expecting to make contact with flesh, vibrations shocked his body as his hand contacted with metal.
