As the guards placed her in the far back she looked to her left seeing one of the female guards observing the reports just to make sure everything was in place for their departure. It all came down to this very moment.

"You know well enough the Knicks aren't going to the playoff. And maybe in the distant future, you will realize you are on the wrong side and come over to the Nets." The guard said as he made his way back into the hanger. "It's ride or die brother."

"Yeah, whatever." The man said as he sat down on the bench as he relaxed his head ready to ignore his colleague for the rest of the ride.

"I can't fault you for much, though. At least you are loyal to a state team, unlike some people." He said as he directed his attention towards the woman.

"Nobody has time for your shit Davis." The woman said as she locked the screen from others eyes.

"You are a traitor that is what you are. You live in the heart of New York but your loyalty lies elsewhere."

"One: Just because I live in New York doesn't mean I have to automatically root for the team. And two: I don't want to hear jack-shit from you at least my team is in the playoffs." She said as the man on the bench chuckled at his friends.

The woman made her way over to sit on the bench only to be stopped by Storm clubbing her from behind. Storm grabbed her hair as she tugged and slammed the woman's face into the metal floor. The male guard sprang into action as Storm slammed the woman's face into the floor once more. He wrapped his arms around her front restraining her arms at her side. As his colleague came to aid in restraining the prisoner only to end up being kicked across the room. Storm headbutted the man behind her as she smiled at the crunch of the man's nose. The space gave her room to break free of his hold as she swiped her legs taking him out. She immediately made a break for the open hatch only to come face to face with a loaded gun.

"Think about your next move and be smart about it." Brink said as he aimed the gun at her head. She kneeled knowing she couldn't go anywhere she surrendered. "Where did you honestly think, you were going to go?" He looked on amused by her effort.

"Utaona hivi karibuni." She spoke as Davis the man she headbutted came up behind her.

"Son of a bitch." He said as he held his head back trying to stop the blood flow. "Just fucking great." Storm chuckled at the man causing him to yank her up by her hair. "You think this is funny?!"

"Inafurahisha. Wewe ni kama haina maana na rahisi kama wengine na utakuwa na kwanza kuanguka." She laughed at the man's useless attempt at intimidation.

"Stupid bitch" he slapped her across the face causing her to fall forward.

"Davis just get her back in there and keep her secure this time or your nose won't be the only thing broken." Brink said to the man who now had the gun pointed at Storm's head.

He mumbled under his breath as he hauled Storm back to her seat. The woman, whom Storm bashed her face on the floor, held her head as her hair started to fall from the tight bun she had made was slowly unraveling. As Storm walked by the woman sucker punched her in the gut causing her to double over from the pain. Storm could hear Davis give a slight chuckle. The woman bent down to where Storm was gasping for breath to deliver her message. "Just be glad it wasn't me that didn't catch you. I would have shot you in the fucking head." She spat at her as she walked towards her original seat. Davis threw Storm in the seat as he took out his gun from his holster to make sure that she didn't try anything again.

"Everything set." Thomas asked as he and Brink entered the plane.

"Yes. We had a minor situation but it is completely under control." He said as Thomas looked around at the guards on the plane and then to his prisoner. He gave a small smile as if he was pleased by her actions.

"Next time there better not be an incident and there have better be more than three lousy guards on her. Brink nodded his confirmation as Thomas made his way to the cockpit. The plane gave a slight jolt as it signified that they were taking off.

Storm gazed out of the window from her vantage point as she saw the facility detonated. She grinned as she looked down into her hand to reveal a hair pin that she got from the woman's hair. Brinks came over to Storm as he placed a sack over her head so she would not show her the route they would be taking.

6 Hours Later

The plane gave a slight jolt as it contacted the ground. Thomas made his way out of the cockpit as the ramps lowered as he made his way to the back of the plane

Davis and the woman stood on either side of Storm as Brinks and the other guard she knocked down earlier took up the rear. Storm fiddled with the cuffs on her hands as she situated the hair pen from the woman. As they approached the holding cell Davis took out the key as he began to open the cell door just when Storm had finally removed the cuffs from her hand. She gave a double elbow to Brinks and the man behind her. She yanked the sack off of her head just as Davis turned around to try and restrain her again. Storm gave him a roundhouse kick to his head effectively knocking him out cold. She gave a slight chuckle as she turned her gaze to the woman.

"Oh, I'm going to enjoy this." She said as she whipped out a taser baton.

"You have no idea how much power you hold."

"Enough to take you down."

"Not even close." She smirked as her eyes turned to a milky white as clouds began to accumulate inside the small corridor. As she created gale force winds to hurdle the woman to the end of the hall. She turned around to see Brinks and the guard standing behind her. The dark cloud above her head was buzzing from the electricity. She shot a bolt of lightning at their feet causing them to propel into the boxes and crate behind them. Storm walked up to the guard and grabbed his walkie from his belt.

"Brinks report." Thomas sounded from the walkie. Storm made her way back down the hall trying to find a way out of here. Storm grabbed a piece of rope from the crate as she made her way to a staggering Brinks. She wrapped his hands together and dragged his body towards the closest open pipe and tied his hands onto the metal. "Brinks. Report."

"They're going to stop you." He said as she reinforced the ropes with another knot.

"We'll see about that." She said as she made her way down the hall.

Every turn she made seemed like a good one only to find another dead end. "Storm." She stopped as she looked at the walkie clipped to her pants. "I know you're there. You are a very intelligent woman. It was only a matter of time before you tried to escape. However, you won't." She made her way to the end of the corridor as she tried to remember if she had already tried this route. "So, I do believe it is best you come back or we will find you and hurt you. Do you understand?"

Storm paused as she regarded the man on the walkie as if he honestly believed that she would return easily. "Kutomba wewe." She chuckled as she continued to hold the receiver. "Just in case you simple minded man could not understand my answer her it is in English. Fuck you." She said as she clipped the walkie on her waist.

She hopped as she walked to the end of the hall that this one would lead her on the right path for her peaked around the corner seeing a door at the end of the hall. 'I'll take anything at this point.'Storm made a run for the door as she pushed it open leading her to what appears to be the back of the facility. 'Goddess thank you.' As she encountered the outside air she was relieved to remember the spicy and swampy smell in the air. She tried to slink into the shadows the best she could only she was tackled to the ground by force. She rolled over onto her back to see X-23 claws out ready to slice her into submission. Storm forcefully pushed her off with her legs sending her tumbling off the woman. She jumped up ready to fight her way out only to hear the cocking of a gun. "Think about your next move carefully." Storm looked around her as she tried to figure a way out of this situation. "You, my dear are a puzzle. You are quite challenging and I admire it but now I am tired of games. So, you will either surrender now or you will have another bullet wound to worry about." Storm looked around as she saw every weapon aimed at her. She sighed as she kneeled before them knowing the first move she made they would have shot her again. "Wise decision. Take her and this time securely escort her to her cell." He said as Brinks and several more guards before flanked her and took her back inside. They stopped her by Colonel Thomas before they reentered the facility. "It saddens me. I figured you would be more cooperative. No worries it will be a painful process you can guarantee it." He said as he watches the guards haul her away.

"You will see soon."

"Very funny. You are as useless and simple as the rest and you will be the first to fall."
