The Other Strucker

Chapter 7 - Prison Sucks

I'm writing again! Yay!

*Leilani-Lorali*

Lorna and I are cellmates. Right now we're walking through to the prison yard, Lorna leading and me following. We round a corner and a random inmate started speaking,

"Hey, mutie mutie mutie..." Lorna stopped walking, slowly turning towards the woman. I stayed silent behind her.

"Do we have a problem?" Lorna sassed slightly.

"Well see, muties in here, they work for me. So from now on, you'll do what you're told." She seemed confidant. Lorna was unimpressed,

"Ah, and, what if we decline this exciting opportunity?" She asked, ever so sarcastic. The woman abruptly stood. Lorna and the woman looked one another up and down before the woman replied,

"Oh, believe me, you don't wanna do that. You see, out there, you got powers. But in here, I got powers" She gave what was meant to be an intimidating look. Lorna smirked, an intimidating look of her own growing.

"Well then I bet you're pretty glad you met me in here. Let me guess, you got those, uh, beauty marks, from one of us?" She chuckled while the woman sneered. "Right, nice talk ladies, let's do it again sometime"

Lorna began to turn away, I didn't. One of the woman's lackeys went to grab Lorna, I stepped in. I wasn't about to allow them to beat up a pregnant woman. Lorna turned around again, hearing my rushed steps. The woman grabbed me and punched me before realizing I wasn't Lorna. The leader spoke up,

"Oh! A young mutie, and ugly too" I glared at her, but she just turned to face Lorna. "I heard you're knocked up, let's see how tough that little mutie baby is." I jumped up once more, taking the hit for Lorna. Lorna got mad that they kept hitting me, so she decided to use her powers. She was getting shocked by the collar, but she continued. A table flew toward the leader, trapping her against the fence. I took the chance and created a bit of electricity, sending it pulsing through the metal table. Me and Lorna fell to the ground from being shocked.

I passed out, but when I woke up I was in a different cell, alone. I curled into myself, sitting in the corner of the room. A few minutes passed and I heard what sounded like screaming, followed by a loud crashing noise. I knew Lorna had broken open her cell door, and I needed to as well.

I readied myself, building up a wall of ions. The collar hadn't registered yet, I solidified my wall and prepared to throw it forward. My collar sprang into action and I nearly lost focus, black spots dancing across my vision. I powered through and threw my wall forward, destroying the brick all around the door, and sending the door flying.

I unsteadily walked out of the cell, seeing Lorna passed out on the floor. I bent to pick her up, barely getting her into my arms before losing any remaining strength and falling to the ground myself.

We were now being walked side by side, a guard holding each of us. They had us changed into beige uniforms as well. Agent Turner was walking behind us when I made a snide comment, mostly for Lorna,

"Nice digs ya got here," Lorna smirked at me, adding on.

"Homey, oh let me guess. Another transfer?" She raised her eyebrows slightly. I picked it up, once again.

"Maybe one of your secret prisons?" Turner seemed annoyed now,

"Ya know, you had the chance to cooperate, Ms. Dane." He ignored me completely. Lorna was quick to respond,

"Little favor, call me Polaris." I nodded,

"Yeah, you're sending us to hell, I think its the least you can do." I piped in as he unlocked a door. Lorna was brought in first, my following while staring at her back. She spoke again,

"Well that's interesting, ya wanna tell me what our prosecutor is doing in a cell?" My heart stopped. Dad? Why would he possibly be here? Agent Turner ignored the question,

"Well, I hope you enjoy yourself, Ms. Dane." Lorna got annoyed and snapped,

"It's, Polaris" She pushed emphasis on the name, while I was locked in the cell to her right.

Okay so I know its short but I'm waiting to do the whole breakout scene and the Reed explanation in another chapter. Thanks for reading, love you all. 💙💙
