Checkmate facility 42:

The large woman paces the floor, her black shoes tapping in an almost mathematical rhythmic pattern, to which she never falters a single beat.
“How goes project Alpha?”
“They just arrived on scene mam”
“Good, here’s hoping they do as well here as they have in the training simulations, who did we send?”
“Magma, Wonder Girl, and Siryn”
“Good, do we have a live feed?”
“Yes mam”
“Patch it through to my room, oh and the name is Waller, you would do best to remember that.”

Back at the bank:

“I thought you said Cheshire would be covering us”
“I was, they teleported in somehow” Cheshire’s voice shouts across the room as she to now enters the bank.
“Their just kids, take them down” Magenta no sooner finishes her words before utilising her powers to throw the bank vault towards the group of teenage kids.
A burst of flames suddenly illuminates every shadow, forcing the metal to melt to nothing more than molten slag, instead now standing before us is a small girl bathed in flames like a living volcano given form.
“Wait I’ve seen you on TV, your that Alison girl, she’s an x-men”
“I now work for the government and you a herby given two choices, surrender or die”
“You would really kill us child, I very much doubt that”
“Your choice”
My attempts at creating a dialogue are shattered as I am forced to create a shield of ice to prevent the fireball the young girl hurtles towards me.
“What now” the concern in Magentas voice tells me her fears of failure have once again surfaced, the look in Fatality’s eyes tell me she has longed for a fight since her arrival in our team and as for Cheshire.
“I need a little help over her”
We peep round the corner of my shield long enough to see Cheshire prove just why she has been called the second most deadly assassin. With relatively ease she avoids balls of fire as well as several loosely based sonic screams. It is only when she comes toe to toe with the young Amazon that she shows any signs of panic. For a while we watch as two trained warriors go at it, but any chance of waiting to see who would prove the better are shattered, much like my shield as a sonic scream cracks and collapses the ice.
“Fatality, create some breathing room, Magenta give Cheshire a hand. I’ll take on little miss hot foot”
No sooner have I barked my orders than do I see fatality rush forward, her ring held out before her, releasing lancets of beams that create a little bit of space between were we where hiding and the would be heroes. The young Siryn girl takes a sharp intake of breath ready to unless her vocal cords once more, when suddenly a large piece of metal wraps itself tight around her head and mouth in essence sealing access to her powers.
“Looks like its now just you and me Magma girl”
“You are so wrong, our numbers are growing every day and those that don’t join are destroyed. Soon we shall be the only power that safeguards humanity”
As I stare at her, I realise I’m not facing the young girl that stands before me, she’s not herself, instead she reads someone else’s rehearsed script. I don’t waste time to listen any longer for I realise now that something bigger is going on here than simply teenagers trying to create a name. It is someone else trying to prove a point. I focus my powers and for the first time try and lower the temperature directly around the girls body, it works at least a little, I watch as her flames begin to fail her, but her body is still in its molten form, now more rock than magma, I keep up the pressure, releasing a beam of solid cold that strikes her hard. But she doesn’t even try and escape its blast; instead she takes it head on.
“Fatality clear us a path now, we need to get out of here”
“Are you serious we have these kids on the run”
“No we don’t, its like some kind of test for them, we need to move now”
My words come to late as suddenly the young frozen rock before me explodes in to a full fire tempest, heat swirls about her distorting her image. I had hit her with almost everything I had and still she stands. She walks towards me like the avatar of death, her footing graceful and assuring as if nothing can touch her. I move as fast as my ice slide can take me, along the way I grab hold of Magenta who at least as bought us some time by using the metal in Wonder Girls bracelets to magnetise her against a nearby car.
“Magenta, can your powers tell us if it is steel support rods that keeps this place standing” I watch as she closes her eyes, when she opens them once more she simply nods. “Good I need you to collapse them, bring this whole damn place down around us now”
“I’ve never tried something this big”
“Damn it Magenta NOW”
Her power pulses as she tries for what she feels is the impossible, I hear the strain, both in her voice and that of the walls, as they desperately fight her attempts at making them give.
“Keep it up, Fatality create a containment shield around Cheshire and get us all out of here”
“You will not leave this place alive”
Looking down I watch as the living embodiment of fire marches towards me, “Fatality take Magenta”
“What about you”
“I’ll be fine, but I need to buy us time, now go” I see the look she gives me, it is one that would suggest I wont be coming with them. But I’m no fool.
“I took everything you had and it barely slowed me down, what chance do you have of facing me alone”
“Last time I held back, for fear of harming my team-mates, but now it’s just you and me”
“Wrong, you friends may have left you, but mine are still here”
I look around to see she’s right, already Magenta’s hold on Wonder Girl has broken, and she now fly’s towards me with all the rage that is her birth right, and as for Siryn, well I can at least thank Cheshire for a thorough job, she is still out cold. Still as I said I’m nobody’s fool, I don’t need to win this battle, just hold them off long enough until this building falls. Then if I’m really lucky, I’ll manage to escape.
To Be Continued…..
