Garden: Storm

A quiet breath was all that could be heard on the large garden that Storm hovered over.

The master of weather had recently gone on a break from her place on the X-Men. She loved what she did and her friends but every now and then she just needed to get away from it all. And right now it was just her and the wind.

This delusion came crashing down along with Storm as a heavy two-handed blow was dealt to the back of her head.

The ground fractured around Storm as the dark skinned woman implanted with a loud crash. The windrider forced herself out of the ground and glared up at her assailant. Her face turned to shock when she saw that familiar yellow and green jumpsuit that showed off every curve. It was her friend Rogue.

"Rogue? What is the meaning of this?!" Storm asked as she flew up to meet her friend

"Ororo Munroe. You are under arrest for the possession of mutant powers. Yield or be made to yield."

Rogue was not acting like herself. Her eyes were vacant, and she had no inflection in her tone.

'Someone has brainwashed her' Storm concluded

"Rogue someone is in your head. I can help you but you can't fight me. Let me help you" Storm pleaded

Rogue readied her fists and responded "Resistance detected. Engaging" then flew towards Storm.

Storm knew how strong her friend was and knew there was no holding back. With the full might of her power Storm called for the wind with enough force to easily create a tornado. The tornado was barely enough to keep Rogue at bay.

It took all of Storm's focus to keep it up. Unfortunately for her Rogue wasn't alone.

The new assailant had green skin, pink hair, insectoid wings, and pitch black eyes. Her name was Pixie.

Flying behind Storm, the sprite used her power on Ororo. Dust was blown into Storm's face. This was Pixie's mutant ability. A hallucinogenic dust.

It took effect instantly and plunged Storm into her worst nightmare.

Powerless. Naked. Surrounded by metal walls and those who mean her harm. It was too much for the claustrophobic weather witch.

"No! No! Noooooo!!!" Storm cried out

Lightning filled the air and heavy rains pelted the women. Rogue was struck down when she was hit by a stray bolt, searing off part of her costume.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!!!" Ororo cried in terror which made Pixie land, not wanting to be hit like Rogue was

The sothern belle in question took the gloves off and shot off the ground, launching at Storm and grabbing the dark-skinned woman by the front of her shirt and throwing her towards the ground with enough force that the front of her clothes remained in Rogue's hand

The bare chested weather witch slammed into the ground, landing in mud that covered her skin and hair. Before the thought of rising could even occur to her, Rogue dropped her knee onto Storm's back, making the weather witch scream in pain.

Rogue's assault wasn't over as one arm went to Storm's throat, and the other to her large breast.

The southern belle's mutation went to work, draining the power from Storm. Storm could feel herself growing weaker and frantically panicked trying to hit Rogue with lightning.

Seeing her frantic state, Pixie reemerged and hit Storm with another blast of pixie dust, making her see dozens of assailants.

"No! Nooo!!!" Tears streamed down Storm's face "Don't touch me!!!" The mud covered women cried as Rogue continued to drain her

With each second of contact the storm around Ororo died down. The heavy rain turned to normal rain, the normal rain turned to a drizzle, and as the last of her strength left her, the drizzle left leaving only a sunny sky.

The last thing Storm saw was another mutant named Polaris controlling metal which encased Storm in her worst nightmare, a tight metal coffin.

"I beg of you...mercy"

But there was none to be found.

The last thing Ororo saw as the last of the metal encased her was Rogue's exposed chest. On which was a barcode. Above the barcode was four simple words.

PROPERTY OF U.S GOVERNMENT

The same would soon be displayed across Storm's chest, along with every mutant in the land.
