Nothing never goes the way it should
No more sitting in this place
Hoping you might see it my way
Cause I don't think you ever understood
A whole heap of shit had come crashing down around her, starting with her capture. Truth be told, it wasn't exactly a capture but rather Maya handing herself into The Company custody. Why? you ask. Simple really. You see, Maya had gotten herself in too deep. Maya was not only a fully fledge member and leader of the infamous Rogue Society but had also gotten herself a spot within another dangerous group of specials, only within that group of specials her identity was unclear. With an ability like hers, it would have been stupid not to play the game.
Cassie Fox was nothing but a false face and a name, no one any of the wiser when it came to the blonde bombshell at play. No one suspected a damn thing, which in reality told her that the group already had a weakness...amongst the obvious surface flaws that lingered amongst it's other members. What a bunch they were, in her opinion much more of the odd ball bunch then she had found in her Rogues. Even so, both fell fast into the dirt and Maya ensured that whilst both groups buried themselves...she'd drift away and start over, as if she was never their to begin with.
The Company, that was her ticket to fall off of the grid and that's just what she did. Maya was quick to flee upon being released and wasted no time shifting physical state, a new face, a new name and a new life were all hers. Unfortunately, what happened next she had not expected. Her powers were gone, which made moving on that much harder when you were a wanted woman with a fair few enemies.
She had to stay low for a while, taking herself all the way to Europe where she took time to herself, to figure out her next movement. This was a chance to start over, escape her old life and relieve herself of her past demons and mistakes. Maya had a life waiting for her, back home, a family whom she'd abandoned and most of all, and surprisingly...a child. Maya had a daughter, Jazmine , whom of which lived with a close friend and relatives.
Maya never spoke of her daughter, never breathed a word of the young girl to anyone because she knew the moment word got out her enemies would be gunning for her only weakness. The Company had already tried that tactic by threatening her family, thankfully unaware of Jazmines existence and that was how the woman preferred it. Sure, she hadn't been around for her child much, but she was still damn protective.
It went without saying that their relationship would need restoring, as she had barely seen her girl grow up. Jazmine was told that her mother worked a hard job, one which entailed her to travel and even though she accepted it all, Maya knew she wasn't happy about it and didn't blame her. She was never there for Jazmine, not like a real mother should have been. Heck, she couldn't even call herself a mother. Jazmines father, he wasn't around either and was a subject heavily avoided by Maya, which no one dared challenge.
What she planned to do next, could either be the best or worst decision she ever made. Only time would tell. She hadn't expected anything really, but it was worth a shot, even if it resulted in a negative. She had to go home to her family and Jazmine.So shine bright tonight, you and I
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye, so alive
It took a hell of a lot of courage to come back here and face the 11 year old she barely knew, a family she had pretty much kept in the dark for some time. Strangely, the welcome she had expected was far from the one she received. Her father seemed relieved to see her and Jazmine, well, it didn't take long for her to come running. For once she actually felt something other then numbness, it frightened her more then anything but this was where she belonged right now. She had a chance to make better of herself, she'd do her best to make life better for herself and her child, regardless of what it took.
That wasn't to say she had turned a new leaf, she'd just be around more, more motherly you might say. Maya still had her own personal goals to triumph and wouldn't rest until they were successful, that could wait for now. In the meantime, she had some time to make up for, and that's what she intended to do.
To say the least, seeing Jazmine had been a hefty wake up call. Why had she lived her life the way she had and abandoned the precious little angel she had given birth to all those years ago. Sure, mostly because she never felt adequate enough, as if Jazzy deserved way better in her life. Maya was her mother, it wasn't about choosing what she thought was better off...how was abandoning your child the right thing? It wasn't and Maya was going to surely make up for it.
Maya had spent some time with her daughter, and had quickly learned that Jazmine wasn't like most children. She had an ability, which was both a surprise and not so much...the problem was, how did she cope with it? Maya wasn't sure..and so for that, she needed to enlist the help of someone else...someone who she could trust and there were very few people for the job.
Whilst Jazmine entertained herself with homework, Maya headed into the next room to make a call. She picked up the phone, closed the door slightly too and dialed. The dark haired female waited for someone to pick up on the receiving end. She swallowed hard, biting on her lower lip some. When they answered, she took a deep breath before speaking up "...It's me...I need your help..." she said, feeling as if she was a dog with it's tail between it's leg. This was going to be tough, how could she expect it not to be considering the person she was asking help from was the person she had most betrayed.
