The bunker shuttered as bombs marched closer. Wanda was sweating her hands held out, her entire body glowing a deep vibrant red as she forced fuses to fail, targeting systems to lose lock. Soldiers eyes just skipped over her shelters location on their maps.
Three hours later Wanda collapsed back, slumping over a table. She brushed sweat soaked hair out of her face, "Suush its ok we are safe." she forced her self to smile at the sea of terrified faces. She pulled Kirana into her arms the little green girl clung to her crying her eyes out.
She surveyed her charges, ten, thats all she had managed to keep safe the last six months, moving around from safe house to safe house, thanking god for the time she had spent over the last decades setting up the bolt holes. But she was out of tricks, and the next time...she could see their death coming. Wanda was old enough that she could accept it if she had to. If she died saving this children then she could go happy. But...thats not what fate held, she could see it now, almost laid out infront of her. She would die here in this hovel and not only would 'her' children die with her, the sentinels would use her body and her mutation to hunt down the last of the resistance.
Wanda did her best to hid her despair from the babies. "Anya love." she knelt next to the eleven year old telepath, just starting to feel her powers. "I need you to try again, try and find the X-men." she placed a hand on her temple holding back her her tears as she pushed the girl past her own limits, unlocking her full potential for an instant.
Her powers grating painfully overextended, she bit her lip hard, praying for help. Please, we can't stay here.
