"Ladies and gentlemen!"
The crowd lets out enthusiastic cheers, excited to watch the mutants battle. The barbed wire cage looms over head, reminding that the people can't get in; or more importantly, the mutants can't get out.
"The amazing, the fantastic... Nightcrawler!"
A blue skinned mutant stumbles out of the box, eventually landing onto his stomach. The crowd laughs, assuming that the next fight will be an easy win for Angel.
Evangeline enters the club, alongside Raven, both disgusted by the poor treatment the mutants are having to endure. Upon seeing the opponents in the ring, Evan is ready to cringe and close her eyes, expecting the so called Nightcrawler to get beaten to a pulp. But all that is pushed aside, once the mutant reveals his power: teleportation.
No one can tell whether the mutant had mastered his mutation and was nervous, or was just plain clumsy; seeing as he teleports straight into one of the walls of the cage.
"High voltage!" The crowd roars in laughter, "Sorry mutants!"
Raven finally brings her best friend back to their so called mission, grabbing a hold of her forearm and beckoning her into the direction of the power control area.
"You lost little girls? The fight is over there."
"Nah, I think there is one over here."
And with that, Evan hits the man square in the jaw, knocking him out cold.
"Nice," Raven tells her through a breathy laugh, leaving Evan to throw her a signature smirk.
Raven walks over to the control panel, pulling down on the lever to create a diversion. As soon as it happened, the lights began to flicker, causing a panic throughout the crowd. Angel rips open the cage and leaves, as Nightcrawler teleports straight into the crowd.
Evan grabs Raven's arm, dragging her through the crowd and towards Nightcrawler. Once reaching him, they teleported to an alley outside, Raven pushing them behind them and transforming into a man.
"They went that way!"
Evan smirks when she notices the amazed and slightly dazed look on his face. "You're her, the hero." As much as she found amusement at his awed expression, Evan couldn't agree more, knowing that Raven was a hero, but she never payed attention to it.
"I am nobody," Raven tells him quickly, "Let's get out of here."
