Find Me Through The Flames is a story three years in the making. Taking place in the X-Men Rhyan and Zane are the brain children of Arri Wagoner and Jeanne Bradley. Rhyan and Zane met at a bar in Boston, Rhyan working as a bartender, Zane taking a break from his nationwide tour. Through a few awkward encounters, the two find they have a lot in common: they are both mutants living in secret.
Zane Cooper was born into poverty but raised in the spotlight. Abandoned along with his older sister Zoe in a hole-in-the-wall orphanage in Mexico City, Zane grew from a carefree kid to an international rockstar by the age of 16. His mutation started in his eyes, gradually losing more and more pigmentation until all that remained with useless, gray orbs. While Zane didn’t notice the change from actual vision to sonar vision, his sister had. Both siblings busy with their own celebrity lives, Zoe encouraged Zane to attend the Boston Institute under the watchful eyes of Emma Frost when his temperament started becoming effected by chronic migraines from not being able to turn off his super hearing. During his stay at the school, Zane’s mutation turned into quite the prize for Miss Frost but the obsession drove him away. Not to mention the drastic drop in his sister’s health. After Zoe’s death, Zane formed his own band and become the face of Requiem’s Nightmare. His life turned into nothing more than one show after the other, plagued by his mutation that has proven to be a gift and a curse. While the onslaught of a 2 mile radius of sound being heard at any given time can be irritating, Zane subconsciously relieson the vibrations in the air to keep his body moving to its full potential.
Rhyan Martell was designed to be the perfect weapon. Born from a Weapon X experiment, Rhyan's human DNA was fused with that of a Dark Myst Pygmy Dragon. The beautiful nature of the creature translating into her features giving her violet hair, reptilian eyes, and it's abilities as well. Rhyan was born with the abilities to create and control fire, all of her senses heightened, and an accelerated healing ability. She was the first successful experiment. At the age of four, the X-Men raided Weapon-X hearing of rumors of experimentation on humans and mutants. During the mission, Rhyan was taken from the facility and raised within the walls of the Xavier Institute. Upon seeing the abilities at a young age, she was trained to be a key member of the X-Men from the age of ten. Rhyan, though forged of mythic DNA, had always hated her violent nature and fought against it, leaving the institute at the age of eighteen. Rhyan relocated to Boston, cutting off all ties to the school. Hiding beneath a wig and contacts, Rhyan began working as a bartender at a famous club known as Orbit, her Weapon-X origin foreign to her.
