Mutant (Peter Maximoff )

Chapter 22

   Debating whether or not to try and touch the walls of the cell they were held in, Serenity jumped in shock as her father's voice filled her head. Standing between Alex and Peter, she looked around wildly to see if her was around. He wasn't. She heard hank mutter something, but didn't catch it as her head was clouded with different plans of how to get them out of that stupid cell.

   Suddenly, Stryker appeared in the glass above them with a glare. "I know that voice. It's Xavier isn't it? What's going on?"

   "We don't know," Raven shouted, Peter flinging his arms up in agreement. 

   "We don't know, bro!"

   "Well figure it out, or Miss Xavier will have to be interrogated. She is his daughter after all," Stryker smirked smugly, thinking he had done something. All he did was piss off most of the people inside the glowing green cell.

   "Come at me, you asshole! I'll set you on fire before you get within three yards of me!" Serenity shouted, shrugging her way through the others who had crowded in front of her protectively. 

   "I'd like to see you try, Miss Xavier."

   A fiery rage bubbled up inside her, and her glare became deadly. Stryker turned away from the glass and left the room as her father's voice faded from her mind. Sparks flew from her hands as she reached out to touch the wall. The rage inside her helped her travel through the electric currents in the wires of the wall. Reforming in the booth where Stryker had just been standing, she watched as the attendants in the room all jumped at her appearance before rushing to grab a hold of their weapons.

   Marching toward the first guard, who was unfortunate enough to be unarmed, Serenity slammed her fist into his nose roughly; he slumped to the floor unconscious. The other guards raised the guns to fire, but were shocked...literally. The blonde watched as they fell to the ground alongside their companion with an accomplished grin. 

   Distant gunfire caught her attention. As it traveled closer, she saw a surge of guard running from someone else. Ducking under a panel quickly, Serenity was lucky enough to have hidden herself as the brigade of men ran through the door of the control room, kneeling to shoot at the oncoming target. The bullets did nothing, as the assailant ran in with his claws dripping red liquid; Serenity came to the sickening conclusion of not only what the substance was, but who the claws belonged too as well. Serenity remembered seeing similar ones ten years back, except they were completely bone. Now, they were encased in some kind of metal. After catching a glimpse of the way he was savagely dicing up these soldiers, Serenity came to the conclusion that he held a grudge against these people, or he wasn't entirely there mentally.

   With bated breath, Serenity waited a few minutes after Logan had left the control room to make sure that he wasn't going to come back in and rip her apart. She stilled when another figure entered the room, but sighed in relief as she found that it was Kurt Wagner. Sliding out from under her hiding spot, the older mutant watched as the teleporter pressed a button on the destroyed council.

   "Move away from the door," His accent causing Serenity to smile lightly. 

   A series of 'what's?' erupted from her friends inside the cell. The bullets had torn up the wires inside causing the sound to cut out. 

   Instead of making him go through the trouble of repeating it, Serenity lightly tapped him on the shoulder making him jump in surprise. She gave him a slight smile before zapping herself  back inside the small cell. Her reappearance caused Moira to jump while the others stared at her in amazement. 

   "The doors! Get away from the doors!"

   The others rushed to the far side of the cell, away from the door, while Peter ran forward to tug Serenity back with him. They watched as a hole was cut through the door, and when it fell to the ground with a large thud, they watched as Scott placed his glasses back on his face. Scott rushed forward to hug Alex with relieved expression. Once they broke apart, Serenity walked up to the brothers with a smile.
