Liz sat there and listened to Jade's speech. God knew she had needed it. She hung her head and brought her knees up and wrapped her long arms around them. After a moment of silence, she swallowed hard and looked up, “I’m sorry. Trust me zough, you’re not ze only vones” She sighed, stood up, and started to pace. She thought for a moment then walked over to the window seat that was in every room. Gazing up at the full moon, she started the long, sad story.
“Es started a little after Jade left. A new boy showed up right before Christmas bringing news zat vould change our lives. His name vas Binary und he vas a technopath. Amazingly he had managed to hack into ze Pentagon vhere he discovered that a government agency vas after Chris, Magneto, Volverine, und Chris’s old girlfriend, Ana. Later on ve found out zat ze vere also after Christina.
About a veek after Binary showed up, zey attacked ze mansion. Ze brought cure veapons, monsters, and soldiers both human and mutant alike. Ve von… but ve knew zey vould be back. And they did after about a month. Same zing again. Zey brought back ze mutant zat started es all. Chaze Snipez.
During the crossfire, I got cured and Chris vouldn’t let me fight, but I still did. Ze cure vas meant to be temporary und ze moment es vore off, I went back in. I faced Chaze again und managed to free him from zeir control. However, I fainted und vhen I voke up, I vas in a Veapon X facility.”
She turned and faced them and sat down on the seat. The pain had returned to her eyes, but they also appeared somewhat dead as she recalled the part of the story that she had been suppressing for so long, “I don’t know how long ve vhere zere, but… I remember vhat zey did… Zey raped me to break me, but Chaze saved me. In ze end, zey tried to kill us. But ve managed to escaped und followed zem to Egypt. Turned out zey vere buying ze Sword of Apocalypse. Ve interrupted ze sales exchanged und a fight broke out. Zat vhat ze first time I killed a man. I used telekinesis to crush every bone in his body.
Ve von zat fight, but ve lost ze next. Ve vere attacked by vone of ze monsters zey had used at ze mansion und by anozer mutant called Radar, a blind man that could use sound vaves as both a means of sight und means of attack. He… killed Chaze in front of me und left me zere. I buried Chaze und vaited for ze team to find me. Zey did und got me back to ze mansion.
About a month later, Chaze came back, but he vas different. He vas normal at first, but zen he attacked me, speaking in Egyptian und tell me zat he vas fighting for his master. No vone von zat fight. In ze end… he somehow transferred Master into me. I really don’t remember much from zen on. Just bits und pieces.
Again, somehow he vas transferred to Chris, Ana, Volverine, and Magneto. Zey became ze horsemen und I became just a slave. I vas able to break free for a short time vhen Jack hit me vith a cure dart. But it didn’t last long und I became a killing machine again. I attacked Chaze as Christina vas being killed to bring Master back to life. I missed most of ze fight from zen on because I teleport Chaze und I underground to Master’s tomb. Und es vas zere I killed him. I poisoned him zen ran my swords zrough him before pushing him into a fiery pit. At zat point… Master’s hold broke somehow. But ze fight vasn’t over. I vent back outside und saw my team fighting ze horsemen. I broke Chris avay from ze team and fought him and killed him. Ze team managed to kill ze rest und ve sealed Master avay forever.”
By this time, Liz’s head hung low and she seemed calm. It felt good to talk about what had happened but it also made her feel empty inside now that it was all out in the open. She took a deep breath and finished her story, “Now… I don’t know vhat I am. Just before zis last mission ve got new members und I almost killed vone by pushing her too hard during her assessment. She turned into a tree and they planted her back in ze memorial. Ve got attack again und vhile I vas in ze infirmary getting treated for burns… I felt Chris in ze memorial. I faced him again and nearly ran my sword through him again.
I don’t know vhy, but I’ve been doing zat lately. I trust no vone but ze team I had in Egypt. All new people must prove zeir loyalty…”
She trailed off and looked up at the pair on the bed. The broken mutant was done with her story and she hoped she would never have to tell it again.
