Escape
Anger seethed under the calm surface of the redhead sitting in a holding cell at Xavier’s Institute, but she didn’t focus on it. There would be time to act upon it later. There would be time for vengeance after she got out of here.

Lady Mandarin looked calm and serene as she sat in a lotus position with her eyes close in the middle of the cell. Her mind was focusing on the nanites going through the computer systems that controlled the door and locks to the cell and the other systems in the building.

She would get out of here and free her lord from his prison. Then they would deliver vengeance upon those responsible for her lord’s capture and rebuild his empire.

She opened her eyes. It was time. The work done on the systems was complete. She was not going to sit in this cell a moment longer. She unfolded her legs and stood up. A deep breath and a simple command. The locks disengaged and she walked out of the cell toward freedom.

She just wants this to stop. She knows she can't go with her. She knows it. There's a reason the hammer works for her... but she can't force her to stop either. She wants to be with Anya... but not like this.

Her hands shake, but she can't make them move, can't even move from the spot. The tears start.
"Anya...I... you're not yourself... we can't... not like this." Even complete sentences are failing her.

"There is where you are wrong, Sarah. We can have this. You and me together. Anywhere in the world we want to go." Lady Mandarin placed a light kiss on Sarah's ear. She walked back in front of Sarah. Inches from her face. "Think about it. You can give up hopping from world to world. Fighting the Hulk. You can have that dream you had." Lady Mandarin placed a hand on a soft cheek and kissed Sarah.

	She doesn't kiss her back, but she comes so close. She wants to. All the pain could end, no more weight of an entire universe, even for a little while. And... and its Anya. The tears flow more freely. She still can't bring herself to lift a hand against her, or even more. "Anya... please..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Come with me," she whispered against Sarah's mouth. "Come and be my only love." Another kiss. "Give in," she urged. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Her hands shake. She almost reaches a couple times. Once, almost looking like she's going to try and embrace Anya. Once like she's reaching for the hammer, as if trying to get its reassurance that she has the will to do this, to do anything. Both times, she falls short. She can't let this happen... she wants this so much. More than anything? More than her universe? But she's so tired... fighting for her universe, when she doesn't even know if the Timebroker is telling the truth? He could be lying... and its Anya... no it isn't. Not really... but she can smell her, feel her, taste her. Oh gods no.

"Please... no... don't do this... Anya... please."

	"Sarah?!" Molly rushed into the lobby, having heard a disturbance. She narrowed her glowing eyes at Lady Mandarin. "Let. Her. Go!" She charged at her, to send the other girl into a wall. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lady Mandarin was thrown violently back and into a wall. There was a loud crack as her head hit and she slumped to the floor unconscious. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Anya..." Sarah's first response is a trained one. She drops to check Anya's pulse, make sure she'll be ok. As soon as she's sure, she pauses there, staring down at the unconscious figure, hands still shaking. "Oh...gods..." what did she almost do? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	princessbruiser 2010-02-13 06:46 pm UTC (link)
	"Sarah?" Molly dropped on her knees to the other girl's side. "Sarah, are you alright?" She hadn't heard the conversation between Sarah and Lady Mandarin, but the other girl seemed...shaken, to put it lightly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sarah turns to Molly. She tries to say something. No words come out. She tries again, its a little bit of a squeak. There's absolutely nothing of the self-assured, confident girl Molly met before. After a third failure to speak, she just collapses, head against Molly's shoulder, putting her arms around her, crying hard. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Molly didn't know what to say. She just wrapped her arms around Sarah, holding her close to her. She wanted to say something comforting, but words couldn't come to mind, as she just rubbed Sarah's back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rogue_star 2010-02-13 06:56 pm UTC (link)
	She can't find words right now. She'll have to explain later, much as she's still very gunshy at being at all 'out'. For the moment, she just needs to be held. She tucks herself into Molly's arms and sobs quietly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	princessbruiser 2010-02-13 06:58 pm UTC (link)
	Seeing Sarah this distraught, Molly fought back tears of her own, as she continued to hold her. "There, there," she said, "It'll be alright." She hoped it would. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rogue_star 2010-02-13 10:37 pm UTC (link)
	She hugs her tighter briefly. "Thank you." she manages, muffled by Molly's shoulder. She was sure it would be ok, when Anya was all better. But right now, it doesn't feel like things will be alright again any time soon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"We... we should put her back in her cell. She can control machines with her nanites, so you'll want either some kind of EMP, or physical restraints that don't rely on electronics." She's had a little time to process things. She's having a rough time with it, but best that not happen again - and someone who isn't her deal with it. Anya will be back soon, she's sure of it. The real Anya.

	Molly nodded, "Right. I'll let the professor know." She stood up, releasing Sarah slowly, before stepping cautiously towards Lady Mandarin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rogue_star 2010-02-14 11:37 pm UTC (link)
	Sarah steps back, trying to compose herself. She's not sure she's ready to help with something like this. She doesn't know the Professor is currently in a coma, and thus the resources to deal with Anya are in short supply, but even mention of his name is some comfort that they have the means here somewhere.

	Lady Mandarin opened her eyes and used the wall for support as she tried to stand. "Sarah, help me," she pleaded. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She turns away. "You're not yourself, Anya. And I want to real you back even more than... than I want you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Molly stepped in front of Lady Mandarin and Sarah. "Stand down." She folded her amrs over her chest, narrowing her eyes. "Now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I would never hurt her," she said as she steadied herself on her feet. "I love her. I just want us to be together." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No you don't. You're brainwashed by Temujin... you're just... you're just trying to use me, and I know it. I love Anya Stark... and she doesn't love me. You're not her." She's a little more firm now, but still sounds like she's trying to convince herself. "Its not going to work. Go... go back to your cell." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
