I‘m over it

The beautiful dark haired teenage girl stood in the shadows watching and waiting. She didn‘t know if she would even see the person she was seeking here or not, but she would have to try. She knew it wouldn‘t be too much longer before her owners found out that she had effectively broke into their file room and stole her own file. She had to escape, and find out who she was.

Her mind went back into her past. Her brutal up bringing, and what they had done to her. What they made her do. For months she had been planning to escape the Facility where she grew up. She knew who didn‘t do their job right, who slacked off, and who just didn‘t care about their work. The scientists would be the ones who would immediately notice her gone, and she didn‘t care. She had seen on assignments that there was a better way of life out here. However, she is a freak. She constructed a set of certain muscles with her wrist straight, and felt the pinch of the three blades exit the skin between her knuckles on each hand. She knew how to track a target, and use stealth to kill. She can even see perfectly in the darkest shadow and night.

She took out the file she had taken before leaving her home, and reread the information contained within. Her mother was just someone they brought in off the street, and the poor woman didn‘t even know that she had a child. Much less a mutant. Her father on the other hand was a completely different story. She was like him, but only upgraded. She blamed him for her life, and she wanted to let him know it. She closed the file as her anger started to rise. She couldn‘t risk it now. She would have to wait until she could confront him.

The day started out horrible, there were so many nightmares that cause Cally to wake up every half an hour, and every one was different. There was no end to them. Cally just kept remembering everything she wanted to forget, no matter how hard she tried, or even begged Professor Xavier to erase them, they were still there, haunting her night after night. Training wasn't any easier, there was no doubt that her mind was somewhere else today. Cally couldn't put her finger on it, but something was off.

So she took a break, left the institute, wanted to walk around the town. There was an umbrella in her bag, just in case, she could never be to careful when it came to rain. But there was nothing better than walking around to help Cally clear her mind, there was so much happening at this moment. She wasn't understanding where she stood in the line of these things. Her hands went to the thin metal cuffs on her wrists and traced how they lined her hands to her fingers, her gauntlets that signified her uncontrolled power. Maybe that was it, maybe it was her powers that were messing with her. It was a possibility, the professor explained how everyone was evolving in ways they never imagine, everyone had hidden potential to be what they would be, it scared her, as if did everyone.

As Cally strolled down the street, she felt something in the air, a disturbance, maybe, but something shifted. Immediately, she put her guard up. She clenched her fist, charging up slightly. It may only be a squirrel, or a car passing by, in which case, she needed to be careful. Nothing good could come of her accidentally making a car explode and killing the innocent driver. She slowed her breathing and quickened her pace. She was paranoid, yes, but she was ready.

Faith had stood perfectly still and waited for a long while. It was her training that kept her vigilant, but she also knew it was bit of her willpower as well. Her claws were still extended, as she strangely felt more comfortable that way when outside. It was easier for her to defend herself if needed. She was even more careful not to be seen, especially with her shiny claws showing. She was just about to call it a night when a blond woman about ten years older than her had showed up. She took a sniff and smelled something familiar. A vague memory of her learning different tracking scents came back to her. Her mind immediately knew it as a animal, closely related to a wolverine.

She smirked in her shadowed corner and decided to watch this woman. She could tell that this woman was not human, not like her owners. So she deduced that this blond was a mutant, and wondered what her power was. When the woman shifted and seemed to be on guard, Faith instinctively backed further into her shadow. She must have been out of practice as she accidentally knocked over a few trash cans that were stacked up behind her.

Now it was time for her to panic for a moment before more of her training kicked in, and she began to observe her surroundings. An escape plan began to immediately form in her mind. She ran toward the nearest building, and then up the exterior wall before digging her extended claws into the bricks. The then had planned on using them as an pair of ice axes to climb the wall. If the woman sees her, her plans are in jeopardy.

James was in Salem Center just to get his mind of things for a while. He had recently fought a powerful genetically created mutant with fire based powers that lasted seven hours, the guy was tough but James brought him down to size and got some very interesting information out of him though he hadn’t told anyone else at the mansion they had enough problems on their minds right about now with the brotherhood and all. James had been walking down the street right now he wanted to be alone not really caring about anyone or anything else but something always came up.

So much has happened to James but he couldn’t remember a thing, couldn’t remember how he got these claws or his ability to fight like an animal he just knew that the government and Striker was apart of it but now Striker was dead and he couldn’t get anything else from him. Now James will focus on helping the X-Men team and the school it seems that his talents are best served with them. At one point he thought Xavier had all the answers but in the end he thought wrong. James didn’t know what to do with himself lately.

James stopped for a moment and looked around his senses picked up something, he climbed up the wall of the tallest building and sat on the roof looking down. From here he could see a young girl climbing up the wall with what seems like her own set of claws and another older woman as well, James wasn’t sure what she was doing right about now but he gathered that he was about to find out. Doing a back flip and landing just above Faith James smirked as he looked down at the young girl. “And where are we heading of to?” James asked as he looked down at her, maybe she had some answers as Faith did have claws. James clenched his fists as he got ready to extend his claws.

[cally]

It was the noise that set her off, as soon as the crash came down, Cally jumped in that direction, careful of where she landed. Something was up, and it wasn't just an animal. Cally let herself feel the electrical pulse in the ground, something she didn't do very often, because in reality, it wasn't that helpful. She could sense the figures that disrupted the flow, but other than that, she couldn't tell the size, shape, or anything else that would actually help in this situation. Cally kept running, and saw the figure she was after. It was a young girl. Why a girl like her would be running away, she didn't know, part of her wanted to stop and turn around, maybe the girl was just playing a game. When the girl's hands went to climb the wall, long shiny blades protruded. That was new.

So maybe she wasn't playing a game.

This girl was obviously trouble, there was no doubt that she was linked to something fierce. From the quick look Cally was barely able to get, she guessed that the girl was not from the institute. What was there to do? The girl was fast, any more stalled time and Cally could loose her. Cally stopped, felt the ground for just a moment, looking for a good path. Finally, she found it. Her body decomposed into electricity and traveled along the path, finding her way to the top of the building. When she composed herself again, she was standing at the top, next to Logan, looking down at the girl. "Please tell me she's one of yours..." Cally whispered to him. Her hands gripped tightly, let out a small spark into the air from her gauntlets. Hopefully, Logan could provide some answers, as much as Cally disliked the idea of him being here.

Faith managed to get two more steps up the wall before the man from her file blocked her path. He was soon joined by the woman, who she know knew had energy based powers. So that path was out of the question. Without taking her eyes off of the potental enemy, she mapped out another route in her mind.

”And where are we heading off to?”

Weapon X asked her with a smirk. She noticed he clenched his fists in a similar way as her in order to extend her claws. She smirked back as hers were already extended, and she wondered who would win in a fight… After all, they were made from the same cloth so to speak.

”Please tell me she‘s one of yours…”

Faith had no idea what the woman meant, but she didn‘t want to stay long enough to find out. She pushed herself off the building in a back flip and landed on the wall of the building on the other side of the alleyway. She climbed up a few feet and performed another back flip to land just above the man and woman. She repeated once more, before her keen hearing picked up the fast approaching sound of helicopter blades. Her smirk was quickly replaced by fear, as she immediately identified the helicopter. Her owners were coming for her. Before she could make another move, the helicopter that she had ridden in so many times before was illuminating her with its powerful spotlight. She dug one hand into the brick, and used the other one to shield her eyes from the bright light.

”Lycan, come home. NOW!!!"

The disembodied voice commanded, and she shivered as she recognized it as one of the scientists who like to perform brutal experiments with her. She looked down at the man and woman below her, and then back up at the helicopter. ”No! I am done with the lot of you!” She shouted back at the voice. She then looked one last time at the pair below her, then threw herself into the building. Her skin was scraped up pretty badly, and she knew it would take her some time to heal, but it was better than going back. Before the dust had settled, she found a dark place to hide inside the room so that the light wouldn't shine on her when they searched it. ’How stupid of me! I knew that this is the first place they would look for me, and yet I still came!!’ She berated herself as she waited for the helicopter to leave.

James didn’t recognize her at first but the image of Cally soon came into view. The young girl wasn’t one of his he had no idea who the young girl was except that she had claws like his and hers were out. “No Cally she’s not one of mine though I wouldn’t mind some answers from the girl.” James replied back to Cally. James looked back at the girl wondering where she came from. Was it from the same place that made him? If so what was she doing here? Well James hopped that he could get some answers from the girl tonight.

James was just confused with everything that was happening, he watched as the young girl moved very quickly and now she managed to get herself above them. There had been only a few people to get away from James and the few that managed didn’t last long once he caught up with them. Suddenly however James herd the sound of helicopter blades, he had gotten used of that sound and knew it immediately though he soon heard another voice yelling to someone called Lycan, James guessed that this Lycan was the young girl and it would seem that she was in a spot of trouble.

Getting a little bit pissed of James turned to Cally. “Go after her and make sure she’s alright.” He explained. James was a man of few words but knew that something was up and this girl might need their help. James backed away a little bit so he could gain speed, he bolted towards the helicopter. It didn’t take him long before James jumped towards the helicopter. Climbing in James stood up straight and released his claws. “Do you mind? We were talking wait your turn.” James explained as he stabbed and sliced the engine with his claws. Making his way out of the helicopter he back flipped and landed on the roof as he watched the helicopter spiral out of control and smoke soon followed.

Notes: Couldn't help myself ;D

[cally]

Cally watched as Logan jumped after the helicopter, she huffed in annoyance. "Sure, leave me to pick up your stuff." The girl's claws confirmed it, she was the same as Logan, her entire skeleton was fused with adamantium and she had claws. Cally only hoped that this girl wasn't like the Wolverine Cally fought those years ago, the only thing Cally had to protect herself from something like that were her gauntlets, made of adamantium themselves and her very limited power of electromagnetism, if anything, Cally could defend herself. Her electricity based powers couldn't hurt someone like this girl or Logan, she could paralyze them, but that was the best she could do, even for a level four type mutant.

Cally turned her back to the mess Logan planned on making and traveled into the building, resurfacing in an open room. One of several, but with her senses, she could tell the empty rooms from the rooms that had somethings inside of them. Cally crept around, on her guard, just in case this girl had another agenda. "Hello? she called out softly. Her mind was reeling back to the days she served in the terrorist group, what she was doing was similar, tracking down a subject for elimination, only this time, she had no intention of killing the girl, unless she was forced to. Cally entered a room with a lot of potential for hiding.

"My name is Cally, I am here to help you." she tried her best to sound reassuring. Her footsteps were soft and light. "I can help you get away, to someplace safe, I promise," There were somethings that looked light crouched figures, but they were only pieces of debris. "Just come on out," Cally tried to enhance her sense, but there was only static, making Cally curse silently. "We can talk...

Faith crouched in her shadowed hiding spot as blood dripped down her skin. Pain racked her body, and she wondered what possessed her to make a new door to the building five stories above the ground. The adamantium in her bones would have insured her skeletal safety, but her tissues and organs were a whole different matter. Those were vulnerable and easily damaged, but her main mutation usually made sure that common injuries were healed instantly. These injuries were not so common. Who in their right mind would act like a wrecking ball on the exterior of a brick building?! She was not in her right mind at the moment.

She was on the verge of passing out, and she sheathed her claws to conserve energy. She could easily see Weapon X jump into the helicopter and slash the engine. She watched him jump back out right before it spiraled down to the ground. Didn‘t he know that they would just send more after her? Her hand reached for the file folder, but grabbed empty air. Her eyes scanned the debris and found it right in the middle of the rubble. She must have dropped it when she landed inside. Before she could make a move, the woman was in the room.

"Hello?" ... "My name is Cally, I am here to help you." ... "I can help you get away, to someplace safe, I promise," ... "Just come on out," ... "We can talk..."

Faith wondered if she could trust Cally. She shook her head deciding on taking the risk, and stepped out of her hiding place. She staggered forward a few steps when she tried to stop. She was pretty banged up, and her metabolism is having a hard time trying to heal her. She could see some of her injuries slowly stitch themselves back together, but nowhere near as fast as normal. ”Hello, Cally. I‘m Faith, and we don‘t want to loose that file folder at your feet.” She said as she wavered on her feet. She wondered if her owners were after her or the file. It was the only copy they had of her, and it contained everything.

It had everything about her from the point of when they decided to create her to their expedition to Alkali Lake. From their findings of notes about the Weapon X project by a man named Stryker to her birth. It listed every horrible thing they had done to her from making sure when her mutation manifested to the primary procedure to infuse the adamantium to her skeleton and claws. It even documented that they had to add more of the metal alloy each year to cover her yearly growth. But the most important section was that of her parents. An unknown woman and Weapon X. Each were accompanied by a picture, and Weapon X was standing on the roof.

Faith began to waver even more on her feet, and she knew what was coming. ”I think I out did myself just now…” She said as she fell like a rock to the floor. She was still aware of her surroundings, but unable to defend herself in the event of an attack. It was her training, and a self taught trick that caused her to do that.

‘Thinking…’
”Other person talking…”

Logan heard Cally’s response before he jumped into the helicopter and brought it down. Now all he wanted was some answers from the girl before they took her to the mansion that’s if the girl even wanted to go back with them but then again the experienced doctors could quiet easily heal the girl in a matter of days and then she would be back to normal well as normal as a mutant can get. Logan was pretty sure that whoever sent the helicopter would most likely send more after the girl which if it was from the same people that made him it was a fact that they would send more.

It was just their way of doing things if something didn’t go to their plans they destroy it, Logan didn’t even know how he had gotten himself mixed with them in the first place all he remembered was waking up with destroyed buildings all around him and some guy talking to him. Logan hadn’t even seen the guy after he fled though there was a girl beside them that he didn’t even though. Logan just fled from the place after hearing sirens and knowing that wasn’t any good.

Logan made his way over towards Cally and the girl, he could quiet easily see that the girl was injured and needed medical attention but he didn’t know how bad she was injured he heard Cally speaking to the girl though at the moment Logan remained silent as he surveyed the girl from afar. “There’s a place not far away that you can get treated. It’s of the radar and you wouldn’t have to go to any public hospital. We can take you there. Professor Xavier is a nice guy I’m sure he’ll take you in, he takes cares of all mutants. I would like some answers from you but I can wait.” Logan explained as he approached the girl.

Faith laid prone for a few minutes, letting her mutation work on her injuries. She couldn‘t go back, not with that file. With that file, they would be able to create more effective mutants like her. Ones that didn‘t have morals or a conscious. She felt her insides heal, but she was still pretty weak. She managed to sit up just as soon as Weapon X spoke and approach her. He was offering her a safe haven, and she wondered if this place he spoke of was really off the radar.

She then got slowly to her feet, more steady than before. ”Thanks, but I‘ll be fine in a few minutes.” She responded to his offer of treatment. She could now feel her healing speed up and return to normal. ”Claws are not the only thing we have in common…” She explained and turned to face him as her skin began to close. She then walked over to pick up the file off of the floor and dust it off. She then turned to face him and looked as if she couldn‘t decide to keep it to herself or not. She swallowed as if she feared the result, and handed him the file. ”I don‘t know what you are looking for, but everything I know is in there. I would like that back, if you don‘t mind. It is my life.” She told him and then cocked her head to one side as if listening to something.

”We better get out of here. More are coming, and they brought others like me…” Faith announced as she went over to the hole in the wall and looked out. She could clearly see the other created mutants posed in the shadows awaiting the attack command. She knew that the humans in charge were a few blocks away, safe inside a building. She knew that now is not the time to go and skew someone, it would not make a good impression on the man behind her. Heck, she didn‘t even know if her 188 body count would go over well with him either. Instead, just as a precaution, she released her claws and sniffed the air. The command was given to someone to test the defense of the group.

She looked down to see one of the level three created mutants scale the building wall. ”We have incoming…” She announced and backed away a few feet from the edge. She knew this particular mutant as she had been pitted against him in training sessions. She always won. When he climbed in, she smirked and took him down in a record amount of time. She then got on top of him and posed her claws at his throat. ”My new friends and I are leaving, Snake. Tell them that if they come after me, they will all die.” She then got up and told him to go, before facing Weapon X and Cally.

It wouldn't take long until whoever was after this girl to take the building. Any type of group like them had enough resources to last them. Cally found herself trying to scan the building, but she couldn't tell the difference between the squirrels and the people. Faith had taken care of the one scaling the wall, but they would be foolish to only send one person. Cally walked out of the room and looked both ways, making sure that they had a way out. There wasn't a chance to take the same way out as they had in, Logan, Faith and herself needed an alternative route.

Cally was about to turn around to get Logan and the girl to come her way when she was thrown to the ground by something dark and heavy. She could hear it breathing. Cally found something to wrap her hand around and used all of her might to fling it over her with enough momentum to bring herself up too. Cally opened her eyes and saw someone with their face masked. Not daring to lift the mask as it may hinder her choice, Cally thrust her hand out and grasped the man's head, her palm on his forehead. What happened next was not pleasant for her. It was something she rarely did, because of what happened. Focusing, she made a rush of her own electric power flow into the head of the man, collected signatures in the brain and let it flow back into her. In turn, the guy's head exploded on the inside, some blood leaked out onto the floor. Cally herself felt the zap as his information entered her head and it physically jerked to the side, as if someone slapped her. A bit dizzy, Cally stood up.

"Shit, they got this whole building surrounded," Cally relayed with her new information. She turned to the girl, Faith, waiting for a reaction. "They have the south entrance least guarded, but there are a few guards still stationed there."

Faith didn‘t wait for Weapon X‘s response, and nodded her head in answer to Cally‘s observation. Her claws were already retracted, and she turned to keep an eye on the opening she had made. ”Those would be the most powerful mutants. It is the governments way of forcing us that route so that they can detain us easily.” She explained the tactic that she knew they were playing.

She turned to face the hole, closed her eyes and sought out the few in the south of the building. She smiled as she knew who they were, and opened her eyes. ”We‘re in luck. I‘ve faced them before, and they are an easy victory.” She announced and extended her claws once more. She turned to Logan and Cally. ”I‘ll take point, and the two of you can follow if you wish.” She said and took off to the south with the need for blood on her hands.

Faith didn‘t wait for a reply, but with the mutant who has superhuman strength she will need a backup. Or she will end up being tossed around like a rag doll if the mutant ever managed to make contact with her. Then there was the mutant that has the sonic scream, and her ears are very sensitive. And what about the mutant that can create a psionic blast? She decided that her slice and dice first and ask questions later plan was starting to sound a bit premature, and hurtful. She shook her head as she continued on her way to fight her way out of the trap that was set up for her.

"Logan, you take the guards in that direction, distract them!" Cally ordered him. Not that she was in any position to give orders, but it was in a desperate time, there was no way that three of them could walk out of this place together. Logan had the best change at taking many of these guys out, she knew that from experience. Without hearing a response from him though, Cally ran in the other way, chasing the girl, hoping to catch up to her. If anything, she could convince her to make a quiet escape, that was her plan. There was no gain in attracting more mutants like her.

Cally ran as fast as she could, but ended up running herself right into a travel. It was quicker that way and as soon as she found the girl running, Cally emerged behind her and grabbed onto her shoulder. Probably not the safest thing to do, since she knew what Logan did if someone surprised him, but Cally made it carefully, ready to counter any strike with her gauntlets. "Listen, Faith," Cally remembered the girl's name. "We can't just burst out of here. Making a quiet exit would be a safer bet." Cally hoped the girl would listen.

A moment later, before anyone could react. the ceiling above them cracked. Cally heard it and looked up. It began to crumble and fall around them. Cally charged and swiped her hand through the air above them. Cally felt her hair go up in static for a bit and a bright flash of blues, yellows and white filled the air. As soon as the pieces of stone hit her electrical field, they disintegrated. It was a feat yes, but it was enough to reduce the rubble to the size of snowflakes around them. Down from the hole in the ceiling, however, came something, or someone, very large, and strong enough to break an industrial size hole in the ceiling.

Faith was just about to run right into the open with her claws swinging and slicing, when a female hand grabbed onto her shoulder. Her immediate reaction was to turn around and swing her claws down on the arm. She stopped her hand in mid-arch when she noticed that the hand belonged to Cally. She lowered her hand, but refused to retract her claws. She stood perfectly still for a moment before shrugging off the woman‘s hand.

”Listen, Faith, … We can‘t just burst out of here. Making a quiet exit would be a safer bet.”

She listened to Cally‘s plea and shook her head. ”They are trained to seek out that kind of escape. Go out, guns blazing so to speak, is way much safer. Trust me. I used to have their jobs when I was younger, before killing…” She answered, as she turned her head as if something else had caught her attention. She sniffed the air, and cocked her head side ways listening intently to her surroundings. She could hear the footsteps on the floor right above them. It sounded like someone who was a bit large…

”Shit…” Faith muttered as she could hear whoever it was starting to knock a hole in the ceiling above them. She lunged for Cally, just as the mutant broke through. She wasn‘t quick enough, but Cally was with her power. She managed to turn the rubble into dust. Then when it all settled, the mutant had already dropped through the hole and slowly approaching them. ”He heard us talking…” She whispered to Cally as she turned to face the oversized ape. She crouched into a defensive position, ready for the first attack. It came in the form of a ham sized fist upside her head. It sent her flying into the farthest wall with a loud, audible crack. She flopped down onto the floor to reveal a good sized dent in the bricks and steel of the building. She then struggled to get to her feet as her healing factor worked to repair the bodily damage.
