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.

	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)

	"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)

	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)

	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)

	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)

	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)

	rogue_star 2010-02-15 12:49 am UTC (link)
	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)

	anyastark 2010-02-15 09:35 pm UTC (link)
	"I do love you, Sarah," she said. "I always have. I am not lying to you. I was devastated when you left." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	princessbruiser 2010-02-16 12:15 am UTC (link)
	Molly remained standing in between Sarah and Lady Mandarin, an arm in front of Sarah's chest. "Go back to your cell," she said, her tone not wavering, "Or I will take you there myself." Brainwashed or not, she doesn't want this girl hurting Sarah more than she already has. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sarah steels herself, evening her voice out. "I don't want to hurt you, or have anyone else hurt you. Please... just go back. Its not going to work." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm not going back," Lady Mandarin snapped. She didn't run, but opened the front door and walked out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Molly narrowed her eyes. No. Not happening. She ran after Lady Mandarin, placing a hand on the girl's neck, pinching just enough to cut off her air supply to knock her out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sarah sighs. "I'm sorry I was... so useless there. You guys can set up an EM field? That should keep her in a cell." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
