AN: Okay this is a remake of something I did a little while ago. Let's start at the beginning, in X2 there was a deleted scene that was never filmed. It's when Scott was captured by Stryker and met Warren in a cell and long story short Warren got out but Scott didn't (you want proof in the scene right before Logan fights Lady Deathstrike there are x-rays in the background pause it and look in the upper right hand corner there is an x-ray of a wing also if you have the two disk DVD go to galleries and then unseen X2 the first one on the list is Angel). But in the movie and the original version of this they didn't know each other, but in this one they do know each other, I'll be using Warren's comic book past. And for those of you who don't know it, he was one of the original X-Men. Now hope you enjoy this! Disclaimer: I own NOTHING! If I did Warren would be mine and be in all the movies.

The Escape

Scott woke up in a cold room on the floor with his head hurting like hell. Right before he opened his eyes he reached up to touch his face just to make sure that his visor was on. Lucky for him it was, he opened his eyes and let them adjust to the light a bit before he tried to stand up, but he didn't wait long enough. When he stood up he nearly fell but was able to keep his balance decent. He took a deep breath and began to walk over to the bars to see exactly where he was. Right before he grabbed them there was a voice in his cell.

"I wouldn't do that, ya get a hell of a shock." Said a voice behind him.

Scott turned around and brought his hand up to his visor prepared to use it. "Who's there?" He demanded squinting his eyes in the darkness.

"Oh come on Scott, what is this?" The voice asked in a taunting tone. "And I though we were friends."

Scott furrowed his brow and continued to look around in confusion, but now he was even more on edge. "Who are you?" He firmly repeated.

There was movement in the dark and an unmistakable sound of chains moving. Scott could have sworn he saw a white wing in the shadows and he brought his hand down slowly. He looked to the ground for a second and saw something that he missed before, there were several white feathers lying on the ground.

He looked up with a look of pure shock on his face and was speechless. The figure moved out of the shadows a bit more to show a boy around twenty five. He had blond hair and blue eyes and was quite muscular and shirtless; when he was in full light (which in the cell was not much) Scott could see two large wings coming out of his back.

"Warren?" Scott asked in disbelief, Warren nodded once in confirmation. He looked just as Scott remembered himfrom five years ago, except now he was far thinner then he remembered (even though Warren always looked underweight), he also looked depressed and who could blame him for the place he was in but there was still that light behind his eyes that Scott remembered.

"No hello?" Warren asked smirking a slight laugh.

"Oh my God Warren." Scott said quite stupidly.

"Yes Scott, we have established that my name is Warren."

"It's, how…" Scott stuttered there were so many things he wanted to ask his old friend. "Where are we?"

"Stryker's lab, it's where his does his experiments on mutants." Warren said disgusted and crossing his arms.

Scott nodded remembering what the Professor said about Logan and the experiments on mutants. "How did you get in a place like this?" Scott asked. "Last time I saw you, you were running a successful business."

"And as far as I know I still am." Warren responded. "I have no idea how long ago but I went on a vacation, I had to get away and I didn't tell anyone where I was going and didn't have anyone come with me."

"That was rather stupid."

"Well I'm sorry I can't see the future Scotty boy, if I had known I wouldn't have even have gone, but I remember going out one night to stretch my wings and getting hit in the neck a few times and then waking up here." Warren said crossing his arms and he tried to walk up closer forgetting the heavy chains around his ankles.

Scott looked down at the chains on Warren's feet and felt horrible for his friend having to be chained up like this, Warren didn't even know how long he had been there. "Why do you have chains?" Scott asked. "Isn't that a little out of date for a place like this?"

"Yeah, but seethat thing on your neck?" Scott reached up and touched his neck finding a thick, metal collar. "Prevents you from using your powers, I really don't know how it'll affect you but since my mutations are physical it has no effect on me at all, and that little serum he uses on the back of your neck, you probably don't know about it yet but trust me, you will. He can't keep me on it long enough, I mean giving me doses every few hours is just to much so now I have a chain attaching me to the nice wall here." Warren said patting the wall beside him.

"Well that explains a lot." Scott said sarcastically.

"Hey give me some credit I'm a little out of it right now!" Warren said leaning up against the wall and sliding down it so he was now sitting on the floor, and a few feathers fell out of his wings as he went down as well. Scott walked over to his friend and sat down next to him on the floor. "I just wanna get the hell outta here; I'd give my wings to be in one of those boring business meetings right now."

Scott smiled slightly and then went back to his normally serious face. "Well have you ever tried to get out?"

"What do you think?" Warren said turning to Scott.

"Of course." Scott looked around at the dimly lit room and the damp walls of the cell, and they sat in silence for a few minutes until they heard footsteps coming up to the sell. Both men stood up and tried to look threatening but being in there position it was not going over well.

"Well, well look who's awake." Stryker said walking up to the bars and pushing in a code on the pad. The door slide open and he walked in fallowed by six guards. "Time for you to do your fist job for me."

"I'll never do anything for you." Scott said acidly.

Stryker let out a cold, sour laugh. "That's what this one said." He said motioning to Warren who was staring at Stryker with pure hatred.

"Scott…" Warren said under his breath so only the two of them could hear. "Time to see if the collar affects you."

Scott tried to use his power but it failed, he could feel the opticblasts behind his eyes but they just weren't coming out. Stryker laughed once again. "It won't work, no matter hw hard you try." He motioned for his guards to go forward and pin Scott down. "Wait here while I get your medication." After this Stryker left the area and back to his lab.

Warren saw the six soldiers begin to beat Scott to the ground and tried to run forward but tripped due to the chains. "No." He breathed and began flapping his wings; he gained only a foot of altitude but beat his wings harder anyway.

Scott struggled under there weight and tried to push them off of him but with no success. In seconds Scott was completely immobilized on the ground, the only thing that was moving in the cell was him trying to get out and the great wind from Warren's wings.

He forced his wings to beat harder and after several seconds the link on the wall began to shake lose. And soon it gave away, Warren flew up about five feet before coming down and landing on one of the soldiers. This took everyone by surprise and four of the guards jumped off Scott to try and tranquilize Warren. But he was to quick, as he flew at a low level he used the chain between his ankles to his advantage and hit the men in the neck with them. Throughout this Scott was able to get out from under there grasp and fight back, in less then a minute they had knocked all the men out but one, Scott picked this guy up by the neck and held his throat.

"Undo this thing." He demanded.

The guard knew exactly what he was talking about and reached up to punch in the numbers on the small key pad on the collar. There was a small click and the collar fell to the ground and so did the guard.

"Come on." Scott said and started to run out the door.

"Wait!" Warren yelled behind him. Scott turned around and cocked his head a bit wonder what Warren was waiting for. Warren motioned down to his ankles and at the chains around them. "Oh yeah…" Scott said and walked over, he bent down and set his visor to a low level and fired a beam at the shackles. They each burst and Warren smiled finally able to move his legs freely again.

The two ran out of the cell and down on of the many halls, Scott fallowed Warren he seemed to know where he was going, after all he had been here much longer then he had.

Suddenly Warren stopped in one spot and looked up, they were under a incredibly high ceiling.

"What?" Scott asked.

"This spot, I think it's the highest spot here, you think you can blast through this?" warren asked.

"I don't know how much ground is above it."

"I don't know." Warren replied, and then the sound of footsteps drew near. "Do it Scott." He said impatiently.

As Scott turned his visor up he fired a large hole in the ceiling and right before doing that a dart hit him in the neck. He ripped it out as fast as he could but was losing his balance quick. Warren grabbed him and started to fly up.

"Stop them!" Stryker yelled and more darts began to fly at them. Another one hit Scott making him barley conscious and another hit Warren in the chest. Because of this he lost his grip on Scott and dropped him down to the ground.

"Dammit!" warren yelled as he started to swoop down and get him again but was stopped by Scott.

"No! Warren leave! Go now! Don't get caught again." Scott yelled before he passed out completely and warren had no choice but to turn back and flay away, he could feel his consciousness slipping as he flew out of the hole in the ceiling looking back at Scott the entire way and swearing that he would help him.

AN: Okay ya want more chapters? You decide.
