It was hardly a surprise to find that she had been stripped of her ability to shapechange, and the quick healing that usually went along with it.
She groaned and sat up, looking around herself.
"Careful, Ms Darkholme," a voice said from the wall. She turned her head, a painful process, and looked into Sinister's smiling face. "You don't want to aggravate your injuries."
"Whatever you want me to do, Sinister," Mystique said evenly. "I can't do anything like this."
"I'm not exactly interested in employing you," Sinister said, his smile broadening. That sent a chill through Mystique's veins. If Sinister didn't want to employ her...
"And you want, what else with me?" Mystique asked. "There are easier shape-changers to snatch."
"You had another child turn up, Ms. Darkholme," Sinister said. "He is quite powerful indeed. And his existence calls up questions about your own potential that I seek to have answered." He closed his mouth and let the smile finish his speech.
"What do you mean 'another child'?" Mystique asked, growling and wishing she could trust her leg to stand. Kurt had never been powerful enough to attract this much interest from Sinister, Graydon had been human and Rogue wasn't her biological child. "I have no children but the ones you know."
"Oh, I'm afraid the other parent identified you quite well," Sinister said. "Granted they didn't know what they were saying, but still. Incidentally, would you like to meet them?"
A section of the wall opened up and someone stumbled in.
"I'm afraid I may be responsible for your situation," a tired voice told her in Japanese.
