“If you were dead, I was gonna kill you.”
“Somehow, that’s not as comforting as you think it is,” Tabby muttered, rubbing at her eyes. “What the fuck?” The ceiling was painted like a pale blue sky, complete with thin and fluffy clouds and the hint of sunshine in the east. “Wanda?”
“It’s like being stuck in Barbie hell,” she muttered.
Tabby sat up and found she was laying on a child’s bed, done in various shades of pink and pale purple, a heavily ruffled canopy close to her head and a plethora of stuffed animals and dolls staring at her from shelves along the walls, set at child’s height. “Wow… I think I must’ve done something very bad in my last life…”
Wanda sighed and stood, coming into Tabby’s range of vision. The usually red and black clad young woman was wearing what seemed to be a cross between pajamas and medical scrubs, glaring white with blue trim. “If you ever mention this to anyone, I’m leaving you for a man. This is my bedroom from when I was a kid.”
The blonde stared, an inappropriate laugh rising in her throat. “Oh,” she managed to choke out. “Um…nice…” She bit her lip and closed her eyes, breathing slowly through her nose to try and contain the urge. “You can’t leave me for a man,” she said finally, giving in to the desire to giggle. “You’re gay!”
“I’ll exert myself,” Wanda growled. “When you’re done laughing, I’ll point out to you that we’re in Magneto’s house now.”
Tabby’s mirth faded fast. She clutched a random throw pillow to her chest and stared at Wanda with wide eyes. “Are you positive?”
Wanda snorted. “Trust me. I would know this place blindfolded. It smells like roses. I hate roses.” She paced around the room, picking up toys randomly and putting them down. “I think my mom smelled like roses. I’m not sure.”
She said it so offhandedly that Tabby almost dismissed it. It was only on second thought that she realized Wanda was more upset than she was showing outwardly. She slid from the bed and winced as her feet touched the cold wooden floor. She found that she, too, was dressed in the same shapeless garb as Wanda except hers was a virulent green color which she knew made her look cadaverous. “Wanda, sweetie,” she said quietly, walking over to her girlfriend with her hands held palm-up as if to say ‘stay calm,’ “tell me what’s going on here.”
“You think I’m keeping it a secret or something? If I knew, I’d tell you!” she snapped, then sighed and closed her eyes. “I’m sorry. I don’t know. All I know is what I saw in the street and thinking that I would never see you again, feeling so sick then…” she waved a hand vaguely, “we’re here. I must’ve been knocked out or something.”
Tabby shivered. The feeling of a boney hand on her back and throat was still vivid, the thought that she was dying blazing anew in her mind. “Maybe,” she said uneasily. “I feel sick…”
“Don’t puke on the rug,” she said absently. “The door’s locked from the outside and I can’t use anything to get it open.”
It took Tabby a second to realize by “anything” she meant “powers”. A metal collar sat heavily on Wanda’s collar bones and, she realized, on her own, too. It hummed and pinched when she tried to tug it off. “Damn it. What are we, fucking rottweilers or something?”
Wanda fingered her own collar. “Shock collars, yeah. Real considerate, given his past, huh?” She sighed and sat on the nearest surface, the pale pink child-sized vanity. “My father,” she said the words as if they tasted foul, “is going to use us like zoo animals. We’re exhibits.”
“What? What are you talking about?” The implausibility and reality of it struck Tabby at once and she had to sit heavily on the edge of the bed, making it creak under her adult weight. “He’s not that fucking insane.”
“It’s not insanity,” Wanda replied. “Not if there’s a reason for it. It makes sense… I’ve had a lot of time to think about this while you were knocked out and it’s the only thing I can think of. The only reason we’re here, locked up and collared like this, is so he can show us off on Friday to those newspaper freaks. We’re going on display.” She sneered mostly to herself and finally met Tabby’s eyes. “I can’t use my powers to get out. W hen I try, this thing zaps me. He’s made it so we’re weak as norms now.”
“So what good does that do him?” Tabby rejoined angrily, tugging at the collar again and hissing as it hurt her, “Why not just fucking keep norms here?” She grabbed a pillow and threw it hard at the wall. “Fuck!”
“He has us,” Wanda said quietly, fingering the edge of the vanity, some old memory playing through her thoughts. “He has us and can do whatever he wants to us. We’re property. He’ll figure out a way to show us off to the media. We’re just going to be his sacrificial lambs for the sake of the Brotherhood.”
Tabby shook her head frantically. “No. No fucking way. Forget that!” She was on her feet and at the door before Wanda could say anything. She began pounding on it. “Hey! Open this up! Come on, you fucking asshole! Open up!” She rattled the door knob and shouted wordlessly, panic crashing down on her. “Damn it!”
Wanda walked slowly over to her and pressed her hand flat against her back. “Tabby, sit down. Save your energy.”
This change in Wanda from bold and brash to patient and docile was so startling that Tabby started to cry. “What the Hell is wrong with you?” she demanded, letting herself be led to the bed again. “Why aren’t you trying?”
“I’ve played this before. The only thing we can do,” Wanda sighed, “is wait.”
