Like Father . . . Like Daughter

[Lorna Dane]

Lorna walked the cell like a caged tiger--or at least she aimed too. She was stomping around enough that it mostly was like an annoyed teenager. Which she wasn't any more! She had on a collar that prevented her from using her powers, and they had her in a thick plastic box--just in case.

Glaring at her from Pryo, she blamed him for this. She'd not said it, but she did. Though, Lorna had the feeling that he would somehow turn this on to her. Lorna kicked the side of the plastic cage and the workers looked up at her. "I can't wait for you guys to go extinct!" She yelled at them before turning to pace away. She'd been here for hours! Maybe even a whole day. Or even more--she didn't know! She'd been out cold for a while thanks to the tranquilizers they hit her up with.

When she got the the end of the cage she glared at Pryo again, before turning to pace away. This was what she'd been doing since she woke up. Pace to one side, glare at Pryo, pace to the other and glare at the worker bees. Only thins time she noticed they were scurrying about and talking to each other. Lorna watched them and would have ignored them but they were pointing at her. Pausing she stood there and watched as some men in suits entered and hurried over. They read some sort of report and then looked at her. "Throw a banana at me why don't ya!" If they wanted a monkey in a zoo then she would be a monkey. The man in the fanciest suit walked up to the door but didn't open it. "Aww, you don't want to come in? Pyro! Tell him I am a good dancer!" She looked at her friend before back at the suit. "I wont even step on your toes."

'What is your name?' He asked, "Polaris." He shook his head, 'You're other name.' Grinning she leaned forward "Polaris Polaris." Giving a glare to her the suit turned to walk away 'Send a message to to her father, he'll come for her.' Lorna laughed, a bitter laugh. "Sucks to be you! I don't have a dad!" The suit ignored her and gave some more orders. These orders made her freeze. They were preping for Magneto to come. "I thought you were calling my Dad?" She asked, lifting her hands to press on the glass. The suit looked at her, then turned to the guard and told him to double it. That once they told Magneto they had his daughter this building would become groups zero. "What?" Lorna yelled, and listened as they ignored her. The suit gave more orders and only referred her to as Magneto's daughter.

She was what?! Banging on the glass to get the suit's attention, he finally looked at her. "Our powers are similar, but he's not my Dad. You guys are idiots who don't know how powers work." The suit walked up to her and sneered 'you can try to lie to us, but we've already ran your blood. We know he's your father. So cut the shit.' and hen that he walked away.

Lorna walked backwards until her back hit the glass on the other side. She stood there for a long time trying to think and sort out her life. Magneto was her Dadneto?! She'd been kicked around as kid because she wasn't her step dad's daughter and she was a freak with powers---and apparently it was because she was Erik Lehnsherr's daughter. After a while she turned her head to look at Pryo, who she knew overhead. She knew she should be mad at this turn of events but . . .

Lorna slowly smiled at him, and the smile turned to a grin, and the grin turned into a chuckle, and the chuckle to a laugh! The laugh was while and wicked. Lorna Dane had just become the princess of mutants! Walking up the glass she yelled to the suit who was leaving the room. "TELL MY DAD I SAID HI!"

WAS NEVER AN OPTION

The moment Magneto had heard that Lorna and Pyro had been apprehended, he had every intention of going there to get them out. Their presence had been noticeable. Mainly because he knew how . . . ridiculously excited Polaris and Pyro had been to, as they so eloquently put it 'finally get some action!', but perspectives had shifted. Not in terms of Magneto's mission but, the sudden severity of it. The public news had been released: Lorna Dane was Magneto's daughter. The mutants at Genosha were abuzz with the rumours . . . the, rumours that were proven to be true.

If this is what it was like on the island, he could only imagine the repercussions back in civilization. It hardly deterred him. It fuelled him. Selene had told him it was a trap, and he knew that. They were using her to lure him in. But right now . . . all he was trying to do was process the information. He had lost a daughter years ago, and now . . . he had one. Lorna, of all people. A young mutant he knew. Trained. Practically was a daughter figure in his life already. But, they shared the same DNA. They were of the same blood. Lorna Dane, was his biological daughter.

Coming up with a plan with the other mutants, he set off in the city, but only Magneto turned up at the facility. He knew of this faction: they were an anti mutant group, determined to rid society of their kind. This was the scum of the earth that Magneto loathed; more so than ever considering who they held captive. But, he knew better than to underestimate their intelligence -- or some semblance of it. He was aware that the facility would be void of metal. He couldn't even feel it in the structural foundations. Nor could he just tear the building apart with external resources because, Polaris and Pyro were somewhere in there.

He was greeted by a group of men, tossing a collar at him. A collar that Magneto had worn recently. "You know what to do!" One of them demanded. Magneto remained stoic, bending down to pick it up. He knew this wasn't going to be an exchange. They were going to bring him in, and undoubtedly, keep Lorna too. Pyro was debatable. "You people need to get more creative," he said as he bent down to put on the collar around his neck, men restraining his wrists from behind, grabbing hold of either of his arms as they led him inside the facility. As he walked, Magneto took sight of it, taking in every detail, secretly planning how he would get them out. And yet . . . the thought of seeing Polaris, now knowing she was his daughter . . . well, the full magnitude of it had not quite sunk in yet.

Lorna had not stopped annoying the scientist since she found out about her father. If anything, the news had inbolded her! She was freakin' royalty now and she was going to act like the princess she was meant to be! While currently it was limited to snide comments, and judging remarks at the humans, she couldn't wait to get out of here. Magneto would bring this building down on their heads! While he had been peaceful since she knew him, she knew this would anger him!

There was a commotion behind her and she turned to look through the plastic cell to see them leading Magneto in with his hands bound and a collar on. HOW THE HELL DID HE GET THAT ON HIM?! Had they used a dart?! No, not enough time had passed. Lorna wasn't book smart, but she was street smart, growing more so since spending years under his guidance. He'd turned himself in. His weakness had always been his heart, and they used her to get too it. Which on one hand--YEAH! He loved her! Maybe! Enough!

On the other more dominate hand-- "YOU COWARDS!" Lorna ran up to the plastic and kicked it throwing her whole body into the door in a repeated attempt to get out! THE HELL SHE WAS GOING TO LET THIS BE HOW THEY GOT HIM! "I WONT NEED MY POWERS TO GET YOU!" She banged on, kicked it and throwing her body into the door. After a few times it began to hurt--really hurt--and she stopped. Breathing deeply she watched them keep leading him closer until he was in the middle of the room. Lorna felt panicked. Erik had been more then a leader to her! He had been the first to make her feel accepted, and like she hadn't had to fight so hard to be part of the group. He had trained her, and helped her settled her chaotic mind! She had grown from the angry teenager to an young adult who could better handle her mental chaos! Lorna put her hand on the plastic and watched, waiting to see what happened.

WAS NEVER AN OPTION

Magneto continued to take in his surroundings, being incredibly subtle about it as he was 'escorted' through the facility. This place would most definitely crumble before the day was done. When he finally saw Lorna, she was kicking the plastic walls, shouting at them. Erik very slightly shook his head, enough for her to see, not that it mattered if the others did or didn't. The first thing he did upon seeing her was making sure she was unharmed. Quickly looking her over, relieved when she did not seem to be injured. His daughter. He was still unused to this idea, after not having a daughter for so many years.

He glanced over at Pyro who was sitting in the corner and gave Magneto a little wave. He was alright too, but Magneto didn't doubt he would be. Lorna was the one in more danger than Pyro. Once reaching the doors, Magneto was pushed inside, just able to catch his balance, considering his hands were tied behind his back, and remained so. Magneto didn't turn to see the others walk away. He paid no attention to what they said. He just looked at Lorna . . . for the first time, looking at her as his daughter. "Are you alright?" He asked, the question coming out so naturally while the reveal of their connection was still processing and sinking in.

[Lorna Dane]

Lorna stood by the door as they led him over, and pushed him in. Her plan had been to rush the door but since he was in here she didn't. Instead he gave the guard a middle finger before turning to Mangeto. His hands were bound, and she had the urge the hug him--but Lorna wasn't a hugger. Years of keeping herself independent of needing anyone had left her with issues. No matter how much she wanted his approval, or in this case a hug, she wouldn't just ask for it.

He asked her if she was alright and she shrugged her shoulder. "I'm always alright," she brushed it off, like she always did. In truth, she was scared. They had him here, and without his powers he was human and they could do anything too him. She knew the stories, he'd been locked up for ten years before escaping! "Who is coming?" Surly this was only part one of the plan! There were more coming, and he was just waiting for them? If not then she wasn't sure how to react to that. 16 years of feeling worthless to anyone had left her with mixed reactions to people caring about her.

Walking around him she looked at the zip ties holding his hands. When they were on your own hands you couldn't get them off, but since her's were free she used hers to pull hard enough that they loosened and he could pull his hands free.

Well, this all sucked. Royally! The one time they were close to some action, they got stuck in this damn place, collars on and everything. Lorna was smart mouthing the guard and Pyro was just flashing middle fingers to them. He knew the others would come but still. He was having some major fomo and he blamed Lorna for this. Just as she probably blamed him. The dysfunction of their friendship somehow worked and at the end of the day, he was just glad that she was alright. For now. But he quickly came to regret that thought when news broke out. News that shocked him, just like it had her. But the second he saw that smile and her reaction . . . he had to fight to roll his eyes. If he thought she was intolerable before, she was going to be ten times worse now.

As predicted, Magneto came in and Pyro hurried to the glass to see if he was alright. Was this part of the plan?! He trusted their leader but still. He wanted to get the hell out of here! The two of them exchanged whatever they were talking about, hearing him ask if she was alright and Lorna confirming. At this point, Pyro couldn't remain quiet any longer. "I'm alright too by the way, thanks for asking!" He said, giving a little wave from his cell. Though it was separate only the thick mix of plastic and glass separated them, and their voices could be heard.
