A/N: Okay, yeah, I know, I already have how many fics going between here
and fictionpress.net? And how many are there that still need to be typed?
And what about the ones that need to be started, you know, the ones that
are still just a scattering of ideas on paper in my room? Yeah, I know, I
know, I'm horrible and I promised not to start another fic until I finished
one of the ones currently alive, but, well, I lied. Gomen ne. So! Without
further ado, this is my first angst story that I know will be angst from
the beginning! Hope you like it, please R&R!
Chapter 1, New Recruit
"So, like, why are we going to attack Magneto's base Mr. Logan?" asked Kitty. She was a bit miffed about having to get up so early and then going off on this stupid mission when she had a date with Lance later that day. The others agreed, though for different reasons. Rogue liked being anti-social, Kurt needed a grooming and was shedding like crazy, Spyke had told his friends they would go skateboarding, Scott and Jean had a date together, and Bobby was just bored. They were all sitting grumpily in the back of the X-Wing, being driven by Logan. He seemed to be the only one interested in going on this mission.
"I told you, Half-Pint, the Professor found a new mutant. He can't get into her head but he knows she don't wanna be where she is. Think of it as a rescue and recruit mission all rolled into one," Logan explained, trying to be patient.
"Do you think it has anything to do with that attack on the anti- mutant organization last week?" asked Kurt, pulling out some more fur.
"Hey, cut it out!" Rogue yelled at him, turning away and crossing her arms and legs irritably.
"I don't know," said Spyke. "That was some explosion, though!"
"They said it was nitroglycerin," said Scott absently, putting an arm around Jean.
"Yeah," said Logan with a sigh, "this could have somethin' ta do with it. I sure hope not, though. Alright, quiet down, we're here." They landed stealthily and got out. They broke in and were met with an army of mechanical robots attacking them. Kitty ran ahead and phased through them, shorting their circuits. Magneto was standing at the back of the army, cursing. He smiled.
"Well, well, I see my army is no match for you," he said, feigning a sigh of defeat. He turned to them and grinned. "Well, let's see how well you do against me new weapon. I'm sure you've seen it's potential on that new special about a week ago." He continued to smile and pressed a button, letting a metal platform carry him away as balls started to fly from the walls. Whatever they touched exploded.
"What do we do now!?" demanded Kitty fearfully.
"Run!" said Kurt. He quickly bamfed away.
"Jean! See if you can stop them form moving! Scott, blast them, try to get them to blow up away from us. Kitty, you take Rogue so that she can phase through them. Iceman, freeze them!" They all nodded, not even caring that they had to take orders. Jean couldn't completely stop them, but she did slow them down enough for the others to take them out.
While all this fighting was going on, Kurt found himself in a long corridor. He had been here before in one of their other battles, but he had forgotten where here was exactly. He simply pictured the place in his mind and bamf, here he was.
"No, p-please stop!" It was a female voice, just ahead of him and around the corner. He froze. Should he go help her? Mind his own business? Go get help?
"Listen, doll, Mags wants more of that nitro. Now if y' don't do it, I might have to use some more persuasive methods." She screamed and there was an audible rattle of metal chains. The voice was Sabretooths. That had decided it for him. Kurt bamfed back to the main entrance, grabbed Logan, and bamfed back.
"What the hell are ya-"
"Shh!" warned Kurt.
"Stop it, please sir!" came the frightened female voice. Logan growled softly, sniffing the air.
Snikt. "Sabretooth," he snarled. The protestations and rattling of chains stopped and Sabretooth walked around the corner. They could hear soft whimpering from where he came.
"Wolverine..." he said, smiling challengingly. Kurt clapped Logan on the shoulder.
"Luck!" he said, and was gone with a bamf. Sabretooth started toward Logan, then stopped, smelling the sulfur and brimstone behind him. He started to turn back when Logan tackled him.
"Hey! It's okay!" Kurt was saying to the girl. She was about 17 and chained to the wall with shackles around her ankles and wrists. There was a bucket of water to her right and a blanket as well. Some of her clothes had been torn off by what appeared to be claws. Kurt, blushing, wrapped the girl in the blanket. She whimpered and tried to pull away from him. "Shhh, it's all right, ve're ze good guyz," Kurt comforted. She slowly started to calm as she heard the audible grunts from around the corner. Kurt quickly turned his head as there was a loud yell and a thud.
As Sabretooth walked around the corner toward them, the girl panicked again. Kurt's eyes narrowed, knowing that he was the one who'd done this to the girl. She started to cry again, then stopped.
"T-the bucket!" she said. Sabretooth and Kurt both looked at her uncomprehendingly. "T-throw the b-bucket at him!" she insisted. Kurt, without thinking, hefted the heavy bucket up and dumped its contents in Sabretooth's direction. He snarled as the acid began to burn into his skin. He had started to recover when Logan was on him again. Once the fight finally ended with Wolverine as victorious, he approached the other two teens.
"What went on here?" he asked gruffly. The girl whined softly, shaking so much that the chains rattled.
"I don't know. I sink Sabretooth vas going to..." Kurt trailed off, looking at the girl in the blanket. Logan understood and moved closer to her. Her eyes widened, resembling that of a trapped animal. Logan sliced the chains which attached her to the wall and she fell gracelessly in a heap. She crawled in the corner and hugged her knees to her chest, sobbing into them. She reached over and grabbed a stuffed dog, hugging it and rocking back and forth.
"Come on. Let's get her back to the mansion," said Logan, putting a hand on Kurt's shoulder. He nodded, walking over to her.
"Okay, I'm going to do somesing zat might be a little veird, but it vill get you out of here, okay?" The girl whined, cringing from them. Kurt sighed and gently put a hand on her arm. Bamf! They were back in the room where the flying orbs of nitro had been. The team was panting, looking up at them tiredly. There were no more orbs. The girl whimpered and clung to Kurt. He looked up at Logan for help, but he turned to the rest of the team.
"Good work, guys. Now let's go."
"Hey, is that the girl?" asked Spyke, standing. She whimpered and clung tighter to Kurt. Spyke backed away when Kurt glared at him, holding up his hands. "Okay, okay, I get it. Let's go, I gotta go 'boarding with my friends," he said complacently. The rest agreed that returning to the mansion would be a good idea before any other foes tried to attack them. They returned to the X-Jet and flew off. The passenger compartment was a bit more cramped with the new girl there, but there was less complaining. Everyone was too tired to complain. The only sounds were the engine and the soft whimpering of the scared new recruit.
A/N: So, what did you think? This idea came to me last night for some strange reason and I wrote about a half page of notes. I may keep going even if no one replies, but please do anyway! My e-mail is jupitergurl02@hotmail.com and my AIM screen name is JupiterGurlAnime. My YIM screen name is JupiterGurlPrincess (what can I say, I like Sailor Jupiter). Now that I think of it, all this information is probably available on my profile. Oh well, saved you a trip to my profile page! Even though I have some, more plot ideas are always helpful! Thanks for reading and see ya next chapter!
