Closer To Free (Challenge 5 - Change)
Title: Closer to Free
Prompt: Challenge #5 - Change
Rated: PG
Word Count: 100
Character: Raven (Mystique)
Summary: It is in the struggle that she finds herself
Warning: Nothing
She’s a chameleon.
Gender, race, age, style-these are not constraints but opportunities, chances with the odds ever in her favour. Her body is a flipbook of possibilities bestowed by her birthright.
But everything comes with a price.
It’s easy to get lost in a muddled existence, losing track of the tether meant to anchor. Being coveted only for her physical difference is as painful as having to disguise it to fit in. Ironic those two sides of the coin.
It is within that disappointment, however, that she finds her true self-and not on anyone’s terms but her own.
