Summary: Rogue is an undercover bounty hunter. Takes place after the Stuff of Heroes but instead of the Xmen rescuing the captives, it's the Acolytes.

Walking Alongside the Devil

Chapter 1: Chili Peppers

" All that glitters, even the

stars, all things precious,

even your life. The Prince

of thieves can steal it

in a blink of an eye."

RoguesHeartRogue gently knocked her head against the hard surface of the wall behind her. Staring through the glass exterior in front of her, she watched as Logan was increasingly getting interrogated by Trask's henchmen.

' Damn, if only ah had Kitty's powers. . . Ah coulda phased through here.'

A shout grasped her attention. Turning around slightly, Rogue watched as Fred was being hauled out away by several guards.

" Fred!" she gasped out.

Fred turned around, his blue eyes catching with hers.

" Rogue!" he yelled back, before getting tasered by one of the guards.

Evan ran to the window and plastered himself against it.

" Freddy, hold strong man, you can make it!"

Fred nodded his head weakly before he was dragged around the corner. Rogue scowled darkly, concern for her friend rising in her chest.

" Talk now, what are you mutants planning?!" cursed out of tall dark haired man.

Logan growled at him, baring his fangs dangerously.

" We ain't planning nothing, and if we were I wouldn't tell ya anyway."

Hank McCoy winced as he watched Logan get tasered with over fifteen volts of electricity. Closing his eyes, he silently began to pray for his friend's safety. He knew that Logan had a healing factor but it wasn't going to help them where they were going.

He shuddered, they had overheard the night before that they were going to be sent to one of Trask's Mutant work camps if no one spoke.

Another zapping noise filled the containment center, making everyone wince. Evan and McCoy looked away, unable to watch their closest colleague being tortured, but Rogue refused to look away. She allowed for her anger to build up inside her.

Rogue clenched her fists at her side, itching to let loose her rage upon the guards that dared to hurt her mentor.

After what seemed to be an hour, they chucked Logan back into one of the impervious glass chambers, built to negate mutant powers.

Once they had left, Rogue scurried closer to the front glass to stare over at Logan.

" Hey, Wolvie?"she whispered.

No answer came at first.

" Wolvie?" she whispered louder.

Once more, there was no answer, causing for Rogue to panic.

" Logan?!" she cried out a bit louder, her voice ringing through the silent corridor.

A groan coming from his cell had managed to calm her nerves.

" How many times do I have to tell you stripes, don't call me Wolvie… Ya make me sound like a teddy bear." Was his gruff reply.

Rogue grinned mischievously.

" Hey, if the shoe fits.."

Logan growled in irritation, causing for the others to laugh.

" Nice to see you are in good health, my friend." McCoy said cheerfully.

Evan smirked over at Logan.

" Yeah dude, you had us worried there."

Logan flashed his fangs.

" You know that I can't be taken down that easily." he spoke in a husky tone.

Rogue smiled weakly at him and was about to retort when suddenly a huge explosion sounded off.

Logan jerked himself up, which was hard considering all his muscles literally felt like they were on fire. Glancing around frantically, he tried to search for it's source.

" Hey, do ya think that's the Xmen?" Rogue asked curiously.

Logan shrugged, his senses were cut short by the negators around him so he couldn't really tell.

" It's possible."

Evan and Hank glanced over at each other before pressing themselves against the glass.

" Do you think they know where we are?"

Rogue gazed over at them before shouting.

" HEY!! WE'RE IN HERE!! HELP US!!"

The others caught on quick and began to yell as well. Not too long after did another explosion blast it's way into their wall, throwing large chunks of masonry around the room.

But who walked in wasn't who they thought it would be. In strolled an orange haired Aussie, a handsome Cajun, and a tall Russian.

Yeah, I know, I ran out of time typing sorr y about that.. I'll try to update sooner, depending on whether or not my computer wishes to work. Pray for me babes!!

REVIEW FOR ME!!
