we can all use some heat from time to time

It had been hours, maybe even days, definitely felt like days, since she had last slept, or even had the prospect of getting some rest. Her entire body felt caged, too jittery, too in tune with everyone else’s movements and evolving energies. 

She was getting sick of it, all cooped up in here, with every single fiber of her being on edge. 

Her eyes darted around the room they were all currently settled in, while the self appointed interim leaders held their meetings. She scanned the inhabitants, nodding to a few she somewhat knew, until her eyes landed on fuck, that really him? A grin appeared on her face, as she bounced up from her spot on the ground and pretty much ran over to the one person who didn’t mind when he got stuck training her as a rookie. 

“What are you doing here?!” she animatedly asked, as she went in for a hug, “I thought you’d be in there with the big wigs?”

Xavier looked down to where his hand was still holding on to her elbow and even when his instincts were telling him not to let go of her, he relaxed his grip around her elbow until it was completely out of his grasp. “Sorry.” He wasn’t sure what he was apologizing for, the fact that he had still been holding on to her elbow or that he had stopped her from rushing into the fray. 

“Well if you think that your reflexes would be quick enough to stop an explosion inches from your body, by all means, go for it.” Xavier had survived through six years of war, not by rushing into oncoming danger, but rather accessing the situation before making any hasty decisions. “I’ll be more useful alive, so I’ll wait to see how it plays out before rushing into that.” He said, nodding to the cloud of debris that had now formed back from where he’d come from. 

Dash had to admit he was making a very valid point. She didn’t know exactly what caliber of explosion or explosions were waiting for her on the other side of all this. And she really didn’t want simultaneously freeze and burn as she tried to manipulate the temperatures with all of her body’s might. 

She thought this over quickly, working on her lower lip while doing so. In the end, she nodded at him, and let out a frustrated, “Fine!” She looked around, hands on her hips, “You have a better plan?” she genuinely inquired, having been in enough tight situations with Xavier to trust his intuition and judgement.

Romee tensed as the girl neared her, ready for a fight. “It was merely a question, one you didn’t answer and instead took rather personally. No need to be touchy, unless of course you wanna show weakness.

She reached over and gave the girl a shove before jumping off the table. Her hands went back to her side but she was prepared if things turned ugly. “Really now, threats ? If I threatened you I’d directly follow it up with an attack. Yet, you’re still standing, aren’t you ? ”

Dash held her fingers still, her body barely moved from the “shove” that came from the woman in front of her. They were standing close now, too close. But like hell was Dash gonna back down and show any sign of defeat right now. 

She had to tread carefully, before giving this girl a chance to do exactly what she had asked for earlier. The corners of her lips turned up into a small smile, and she brought one hand up, deliberately caressing it along Romee’s arm, leaving a trail of heat on the woman’s skin. “I don’t want to answer your childish questions, but what I actually wanna know is whether you really want a fight during this chaos, while all these mutated, angry, barely human beings are just a hair trigger away from blowing up!”

❤️ 👻

her heart’s history was, complicated. but no, currently, she was not harboring feelings for anyone at the MKHellfire base. and there was one thing she was afraid of. while now murder had become necessity for survival, and she knew innocence was a dying quality in the world, she was truly afraid of one day, inevitably, killing someone who didn’t deserve it. but she never voiced these thoughts. not in this place.

“No,” he lets her go and resumes looking as cool as a cucumber for any passerby. Image is everything. “But there’s protocol for what to do in case of emergencies. Supply, organize, arm, remain calm. The situation is irrelevant, because what keeps you alive is the same thing.” Look at Kilian, sounding like a motherfucking pamphlet. The suit and ties would be so proud if they heard him now. 

“Anyway, it’s not as bad as it seems. We just need to find the right person and the right abilities to dig through the blockade. But that’s for someone else to decide, not us.”

Dash felt herself sober down a little bit due to his calm demeanor. She would thank him for that, once they all get out of this safe and sound. She smiled a little, and nodded at him in affirmation. 

“I can help keep the heat of the explosion away from our vicinity, but we’ll need to be quick!” She said as she hurried past him, and spread her arms out to her side, hands outstretched as if siphoning something off of the air itself. If someone with vibration empathy were to look at this, they would have seen the ripples around her hands. But whatever it looked like, it was slowly draining the heat away from around them. She looked back at him and smiled, “Let’s go! Oh and... you might have to change if need be, you know that right?”

Xavier had been in plenty of war zones to know that one explosion was usually followed by more. Without any knowledge of what had caused the explosion in the first place, his instincts immediately kicked into military mode and he rushed away from the initial blast just in case. Everyone was running around like chickens with their heads cut off, running in every direction. 

He wasn’t looking to help anyone out until he saw a familiar face heading in the opposite direction. As she was about to pass him, he grabbed her arm just above the elbow and spun her around. “When there’s an explosion you run away from it not into it. There could be more. We need to relocate to a safer location and figure out what’s going on.”

The whiplash from the spin aside, the assault of his body wash’s scent on her senses was what pulled her out of her panic. She had braced from the spin with one hand on his chest, while the other remained in his grasp. She quickly brought it down to her side, stepping back a little from her former partner. “Xavier.” She quickly nodded at him in acknowledgement, but stayed put in her position towards the explosion.

“Are you forgetting that I can control, maybe even subdue excited matter at the particulate level?” She cocked an eyebrow impatiently at him, still aware of his grip on her elbow. “Now you can come with me to order the other people away from the explosion, but i’m going out there to see what I can do!”

Romee’s eyebrows knit together and she sits up to face her. “Oh and how are they trying to do that ? By sitting around and playing with their dicks ? I’m the only one offering an actual solution for survival. What’s wrong, babe ? Afraid you aren’t one of the strongest ?”

She leans back slightly, a smile forming on her face. “You certainly won’t by thinking someone else is going to save you.”

The gall of this ... Dash took a deep breath, and walked closer to the woman. I don’t know you enough to make a similarly misguided assumption about you, as you’ve done for me, but I can gauge that you’re nothing but a scared little loudmouth that can’t back it up when it actually comes down to a fight.” 

Dash focused on her the objects around her, already picking up on things she could potentially use to subdue this threat for the time being, while others this woman had so easily dismissed thought of a concrete plan for this chaos. 

She cocked her head to the side, eyes never leaving Romee’s, “Don’t ever use idle threats against people who’s capabilities you have no clue about.”

Romee sits atop one of the tables in the cafeteria, her arms crossed. When she speaks, her voice is raised higher than normal to get attention. “Consider this freaks, we start a fight club. We can last a lot longer down here if we deplete some of these numbers. I’m not about to only get rations while the weakest of you bring us down.” 

She sighs and leans back into a laying position on the table. “Only the strong can survive.”

[spitfireofwrath-blog]

Dash whipped around trying to pin point where the dumb suggestion came from. She knew they were kind of doomed, but with talk like that shit wasn't gonna get easy for anyone. Her eyes narrowed when she saw the culprit. 

Romee always put her on edge, no matter how much Dash tried to tell herself that they were all on the same team. It was perhaps how similar, yet opposite their abilities were. Despite her mind telling her to tread easy, Dash's tone couldn't stifle her annoyance, "Hey, Romee, love, do you mind not saying that kind of dumb shit when everyone is trying to be constructive in this mess?"

Kilian grabbed her by the arm, before she could dash (ba-dum-tss) out of his reach. “Okay, spread out. There’s a protocol for this, you’ve all been briefed since day one. Do what you’re supposed to and it will be over pretty soon,” he says to the gathered kids, waving them off. It’s always the young ones that panic, so Kilian was grateful for his age. The more digits he collects, the less he seems to care. Could be just a side effect of his job though, who knows. 

“And you,” he says to Dash once the crowd of young agents have disbanded, “Do I need me to get the paper bag for you, or will you pull it together by yourself?”

Dash looked up at him, a little annoyed that he caught her panicked expression before she could smooth it out. She wans't some rookie anymore, but this did fuck with her sense of control.

"Real funny chuckles," she rolled her eyes at him, but straightened her posture anyways to at least look like she was ready for whatever the fuck was going on. "So, I know I heard you lie out of your teeth when you were telling the youngins about protocols, cuz Kilian, I'm kinda sure nothing like this has ever happened before?"

[spitfireofwrath-blog]

Dash could feel the surge in energy all around them, it felt like an avalanche against her skin, every single invisible wave of disturbance hitting her with full force. She looked around at her colleagues, some she was familiar with and some were mere acquaintances. But in this moment, they all seemed similar, shaken, some even scared. Although no one would admit it if asked about it later. 

 She scanned the vicinity, for any indication of an explanation, but found none. The rumbles coming from above their facility had faded, but hushed whispers of broken comms systems were buzzing all around them. Her body leaped to action before her mind could keep her thinking, and she barreled forward to find any familiar face in this crowd, and make sense, better, make a plan out of all of this.

Dash had been living with her boyfriend in New York, trying to make ends meet with a self-defense trainer job and a couple of modeling jobs here and there. The modeling was to get in touch with the dope dealers, and the dope was for her boyfriend, who seemed to love the drugs she brought home more than her. But Dash had been one of those dumb saps who despite all the abuse still believe that he loves her. So, when she comes home to find him rummaging through her shit, and trying to steal her money, she fucking loses it. The frenzy of her fists, turns to a frenzy of stabs, and even the flashbacks of her father’s fists coming at her with the same speed doesn’t even slow her down until the screams of the cocksucker underneath her are stifled in his own blood.

They find her curled with the knife laying beside her, and the next minute she is police custody, and she thinks her life is over. But when a man in a crisp suit offers her a life with purpose, with power, she doesn’t even hesitate.

While she had been trained in hand to hand combat, and was mildly impressive with a gun, she wasn’t really sure what exactly they had wanted her for.

She can feel the potential and kinetic energy of objects around her, and she feel the change in that energy due to shifts in thermodynamics, no matter how marginal. But her manipulation of those energies takes two forms. She can manipulate the kinetic energy of objects to either increase or decrease their temperature, or she can manipulate her own kinetic energy for very short bursts of time to make herself faster than normal. Not superhuman speed per se, but fast enough for enough amount of time to get out of sticky situations. But this form of her manipulation has limits, as it depletes her energy much faster than normal, and it requires more mental stamina and focus as well, as she has to be in-tune with every single system in her body.

She has naturally nurturing personality, so she tends to find the positives in even the worst of people. It usually ends up being her downfall, but hey sometimes we can’t change some intrinsic parts of who we are. So yes, she gets along with her team-mates, for the most part. And if she doesn’t, she bottles it up. Maybe that’s not such a good idea.
