Story Title: Sunstroke
Story Summary:
In Rio De Janiero, Roberto confronts his father, Emmanuel in his high rise office. Bobby threatens him if he doesn't stay away from the land of Madiera and his mom, Nina. Emmanuel basically disowns him. Bobby storms out of the building and Emmanuel calls Sebastian Shaw & agrees to join the Hellfire Club.
At the beach in Ipanema, Dani & Amara are soaking up the Brazilian sun. Amara thinks about her conversation with her father about going with the New Mutants in order to have Professor X train her to control her abilities.
Some guy walks up & forces Amara to kiss him. She flips out & accidentally brings forth a mini volcano right on the beach & causes a riot.
Rahne is in a church, praying to God. She contemplates her love for Sam, and how Sam & Dani seem to be showing more attention to Amara lately than herself. Sam bursts in & tells her of the trouble with Amara. They run off to help.
Meanwhile Amara has been separated from Dani in the confusion & finds herself out in the middle of a busy road with cars zooming all around her. She is still new to the outside world and wilts into near hysteria.
A policeman tries to help her but Amara misconstrues his intentions & gets even more scared, causing another mini volcano to erupt in the road. The others all arrive, but she is gone already.
The heat begins to cause Amara to hallucinate. She sees herself becoming a god of fire & vengeance & destroying all that she purveys, but realizing that this would kill many innocents, she subdues & faints. Some vagrant kids find her.
The mutants are able to track down Amara, Bursting into the room and scaring the kids at first. After things calm down, they realize Amara is burning up & if they don't help her, she may cause a large enough earthquake to level the whole city.
Roberto & Sam retrieve an ice truck & bring it to Amara & manage to cool her temperature down enough to bring her back to some semblance of coherency.
Amara realizes now that she MUST receive training from Prof X no matter what...
Continued in #13...
PERSONAL COMMENTS:
I was both thrilled & trepidatious about Bobby telling his father to back off from him & his mom. This could get real ugly.
This issue was mainly taken up with showing both how powerful Amara was, and how much she needed to learn control of her abilities.
Rahne's feelings of love towards Sam & jealousy over Amara could maybe cause problems within the group later, I thought. Hopefully not.
A volcano on the beach?.... cool!!
