Pinned & Stuck

Chapter 10 - Mutants Rumble - Aoi

Insert song: nobodyknows+ - Hero's Come Back!!

I paced back and forth across my room, worrying about Wade and Peter.

"Did they catch what I said? What if Peter couldn't hold his breath? What if both of them can't swim?" I was questioning myself of what I did.

I threw both of them to the ocean. I wanted to break the cell boxes they're in after thirty seconds, but Mr. Erik kept looking at the water for ten minutes. I was afraid if he found out I secretly released them, he'd go down and finish the work by himself. But I don't think they can survive for five minutes. The cell would be full of water in at least six minutes. It would be very difficult for any normal person to hold his breath for more than a minute. I was panicking alone in my room. I wanted to go near to where I dropped them but my movements were closely watched after what I did to Lorna and her gang. What I was afraid of wasn't them or any physically powered mutants, but Mr. Jason. He could plant something on your head and you wouldn't even realize it was just an illusion. And if I'd be captured, they would control me to use my already dangerous powers to do their bidding. I needed to be more careful here or else not only me but the non-mutants around the world will be in danger too. I didn't exactly know what Mr. Erik plans were, but I was sure it would include wiping humans who don't have superpowers. I was really frightened when he revealed his grand plan of toppling the governments and reigning above everyone. My family, friends, the Avengers, they are in danger if Mr. Erik would succeed. I was wishing very hard for Wanda and Vision to finish their mission, so BoM couldn't turn any human into bloodlusted mutants anymore than they had. But I couldn't stay put in my room while Peter and Wade were probably drowning in the waters right then. I headed to my door, wanting to check for them, not caring about the consequences anymore. When I opened the door, I saw someone's chest, wearing a hospital gown, right in front of me.

"Uaakh-hmmph!" my screams were stopped by an arms full of burn marks.

"Sshh! If they hear you I have to be thrown again!" the man who sounded like Wade said, "It's not a pleasant thing to go through."

"Hmaafe???" I tried saying his name.

"Calm down, Asian Tinkerbell, if you keep ringing like that they'll come for us," Wade warned.

"Offayy...," I calmed myself.

"Surprise!" he excitedly moved his arms up.

"You survived!" I hugged him, "But where's Spider-Man? Don't tell me he..."

"He's fine, he's creeping the skyscraper's wall now," he grabbed my hands.

"Hnnng, I was extremely worried," I fell to the floor, "I thought you both died because I extended the time to break the cell for too long."

"Hey hey, don't cry yet! We still need to steal back my costume and swords!" Wade reminded me.

"I'm sorry," I wiped my eyes, "Let's take the costumes then."

"Wow! He was right, you do easily cry, huh?" he helped me stand up.

"Sorry if I tick you off."

"No, it's not like that. It's just I never seen the embodiment of an anime character in real life before. You know with all the cute moaning and all."

"Where are you bringing this conversation into...?"

"So, you know where M. Bison kept our costumes?"

"He said they were in his office," I recalled what Mr. Erik told me earlier in the morning, "I know where it is, but what if we get caught?"

"I'm good at stealth stuff, don't fret my friend."
