Number Twenty-One: Death by Storm
Scott has having trouble breathing currently, what with a) running from Logan, the mad amateur surgeon and b) only having one lung. But he ran as fast as he could (not very fast, he runs like a girl... watch the movie when he’s running into Cerebro to save Jean. He runs like a girl!!!) and headed in the direction of... nowhere in particular. And so would you if Logan the surgeon/butcher was coming to finish you off. Again.
And so he ran and ran until he tripped over a rock at which point he flew through the air in an arc and then landed on his face. As he had been running, the potential energy refused to stop when his legs did and he did a little bit of flying long the ground. Scraping half his skin off as he went.
I did that once. I tripped over... one of my feet, actually, and it hurts quite a lot.
Anyway, he rolled over on to his back and looked up to see Storm. Logan had sent her to track down Scott and, if possible, kill him. So, Scott was trapped. He was lying on the ground, injured, and Storm was floating in the air above him.
“Do you know what happens to a toad when it gets struck by lightning?” Storm intoned.
“I’m not Toad!” Scott cried in protest.
“Logan says you are a toad,” Storm said in a normal(ish) voice, and then flipped back to her Lightning one. “The same thing that happens to everything else.” And so...
Like you can’t guess.
Scott got hit by a large lightning bolt, writhed on the ground for a moment, and then died.
Next death
