Five years later during the Suez War a French bomber crashed in to Ororo’s home destroying it and killing her parents. Ororo was buried alive leaving her claustrophobic.

Brief Sample Roleplay Ororo was watering the garden when she sensed a disturbance in the atmosphere. Looking up she saw several Sentinels coming her way. *Professor, alert the team there multiple Sentinels are descending on the mansion. I will need backup there are far too many for me take out on my own.* She then broke communication calling in thunderclouds turning the cloudless sunny sky to black stormy skies.
“Goddess, protect me!” she called as sent hurricane force winds to blow the sentinels off course. She struck several more with lightening from the clouds. She was able to blow several Sentinels off course and crashing into each other. But, her lighting appeared to do no damage. Several sentinels fired at her with their laser eye beams. She dropped several feet as the eyebeams missed her singing the ends of her hair. She once again called the lightning this time directing from her hand directly into the Sentinel. The Sentinel lost some altitude but quickly regained it. She called another hurricane gust to her aid but, instead of blowing the Sentinels off course she blew herself away from the mansion trying to draw the Sentinels away. She managed to get a few to follow her but many were still heading to the mansion.
“Goddess no!” she whispered. She tried to return to the mansion but was forced further away by the Sentinels.
