You see me as CALLOUS...

What she wasn’t expecting, was his retaliation. He was blabbering on about something, but Lime was basically disregarding him. That was until he expelled a foul, poisonous smog into the air. The mixture obscured her vision and was incredibly painful when it made contact with her skin. She shrieked in terror, losing her mind for a moment. She tried to bat the poisonous air away from, but as she did so, boulders began to encircle her body and were quickly piling up around her, trapping her until only her head was visible.

She could see the earthy spikes shooting up around her but what she wasn’t expecting was the trembling of the earth beneath her feet. She was sure he was the cause all slowly by surely all the metal on his clothes fell to the ground. She could barely see anything through the fog though, and was hoping that maybe she was mistaken by what she had seen.

“And the best part of all this? You crossed the path of a mutant who can manipulate electromagnetic fields,” She spat. Her cold eyes looked him up and down as she glared around them. With a swift motion in the direction of her bike, the chains were once again at her side. “But the problem with you is that you simply aren’t wearing enough metal to please me.”

She took a step away and leaned her back against the steep cliff. Using her index finger to control the links, Lime slowly wrapped the chains tightly around the boy’s body. “I wonder… what is your mutation? I see your green eyes. That’s rather unnatural, not to mention they were brown only a bit ago.” Lime chuckled coldly as sat back and admired her handy work. “Come on, give me a show.”

The smile of the blonde girl wavered as she longed desperately to lash out. She could feel her mouth almost twitching at the way in which he spoke to her. Demeaning, as if she were his younger and a child that needed reprimanding. For a second, her smile slipped, but she quickly recovered by offering a face of innocent confusion. It would be so easy to wrap the chain links around his neck and cut off his air supply until he fell over and laid cold in the dirt, where it would be days until his body was found. And if she burned it, scattering the ashes amongst the dusty landscape, the body would forever go unfound. All these thoughts and more ran through her head so he spoke to her.

Lime forced a smile to her face and looked down bashfully. Her hand was scratched the back of her head nervously before she slowly glanced back up at him. “I’m fine,” She chuckled shyly. “Are you? I’m sorry, I didn’t see anyone around. I’m a bit reckless sometimes, when I know I can be…” She gave him a lopsided, sheepish grin as she moved towards him.
