[1] Inseparable Bonds {X-Men First Class}

After being held in confinement since she was 7 for stealing out of a supermarket to try and get food for herself and her twin, Carmen and Gus Storm were in their own version of hell, being put in an orphanage, after refusing to give anyone the names of parents.

None of the other kids knew however, that the both of them were mutants, that knew exactly how to use their abilities, but they didn't have anyone to use the weirdness about them yet.

After 9 years of being in the orphanage, the twins managed to escape, and immediately get caught by the police for stealing again.

But this time, they were going in a cell for sure, and not back to the orphanage. Well, not that they knew of anyways.

Until two men showed up, and brought one of their fellow inmates out of prison with them. Carmen and Gus refused to be separated, no matter what would happen to them, and no matter where they would be going.

Carmen had the ability to strengthen pulses of electricity, and to use them to fight and even travel to an area where electric currents pass through, and she can even absorb electricity coming out of any port within her reach.

Her twin brother Gus, can shut down electrical systems, automatic weapons, and anything with a system or a control, he can shut down. He can even suppress other mutants' abilities for short bursts of time.

Carmen is known as Blackout, while Gus is known as Pulse. As much as the two would love to be able to keep each other out of the fighting, it just... is not possible anymore.

Especially not now, when multiple people... no multiple mutants, are being collected and recruited by both sides of the war.

Now, they are all called upon to save the world, but... from who are they saving the world?
