Weapon X-2
Chapter 1
Rouge's POV
"This is it" I woke up from the ride I was on with a truck driver with him telling me we were here. Getting my bags I got out and looked around. "Where are we? I thought you would take me as far as Laughlin City?" "This is Laughlin City" the driver said pointing towards some buildings and walking away. Sighing, I walk towards the bar and go inside, when I got in there where people cheering for people cage fighting. Trying to walk past the cage I saw a man getting dragged out unconcious. "In all my years I've never seen anything like this!" the annoucer said into the microphone making more people cheer. "Are you gonna let this man, walk away with your money?" the annoucer asked the audience. I heard most of the people screaming NO! "I'll fight him!" a man watching yelled. Walking in people cheered for the new fighter while I just looked at the man leaning against the cage. After a few minutes the bell rang. The challenger started relentlessly pounding on the cage fighter. "Oh boy, that guy is dead meat..." a girl next to me said. Turning to look at her I saw a girl around 19 or 20 watching the cage fighter on the floor. She had brown wavy hair that went under her shoulder blades, and she was taller than I was, with ice blue eyes, and what looked like slit pupils. She also had a silver ear cuff with a blue gem dangling off of it, along with her black rose earrings. "Is he your boyfriend?" I asked her, she seemed to be really interested in the fight. She heard me, her eyes went wide and she looked down at me. "Oh no! Thats my dad, he's really tough, and can beat the crap out of anybody, especially if they hit him 'there', he really hates that, not that I blame him." she said smiling at me. "Oh I'm sorry! I didn't mean.." I said trying to apollagise. "No hun your fine!" She said smiling at me again. I smiled back, she seemed really nice. Hearing the bell go off again we both looked over to see the girls dad to be the last one standing. "Shocker." I heard her say under her breath. "Ladies and Gentlemen our winner tonight and still king of the cage is The Wolverine!" The announcer called out. After that last fight everybody started to leave. "I'll see you later hun, hope you get home safe." She said walking to the cage to see her dad. After she left I went to sit at the bar.
Runa's POV
Walking up to the cage I stepped up and grabbed the cage to get up to my dad. "Hey, how are you feeling?" I asked him. "I'm fine darlin', like usual." He said looking down at me. "I know you'll be fine everytime you fight, but it still scares me you know. Even growing up and seeing you get cut or whatever and healing the next minute. Other kids would be scarred for life if they saw their parents get hurt like that all the time." I said narrowing my eyes at him. "Since when are we like other people? Especially other fathers and daughters." he asked chuckling at me. "Ah shut up ya big bear!" I said to him smiling. "I'm going to get something to drink, come get me when you're ready to leave." I said giving him a quick hug. Walking up to the bar I saw that kid again. "Hey, you still here?" I asked her sitting next to her at the bar. "Yeah" she said looking at me. "I didn't tell you my name before, I'm Runa." I said smiling at her. "I'm Rogue." she said smiling back at me. "What are you doing out here? You look kinda young to be at a place like this." I asked her smiling. "I accidentaly hurt my boyfriend, I got scared and left." she said looking down at her lap. 'That sucks, poor girl. She just got her powers too.' I thought looking at her. "I'll have a beer." "Hey dad, finally out?" I asked him. He just gave me that famous 'leave me alone' looks, I just stared back at him to annoy him. "You going to be ready to go soon?" dad asked taking a drink of his beer. "I'm ready when ever you are." Looking away I could smell the cigar my dad lit up. "Must you smoke those stupid things?" I ask narrowing my eyes at him. Again, he just gives me that look. Rolling my eyes I turn my head back to the TV above the bar. "The Leaders of over 200 nations will discuss issues ranging from the worlds economic climate and weapons treaties to the mutant phenomenon and its impact on our..." I tuned out when I heard footsteps heading for my dad. Turning around I see the guy my dad gave a beating to in the cage. "You owe me some money." He said looking down at my dad.
"Come on lets go." his friend said trying to get him to leave. "You'd be smart to listen to your friend." I said crossing my arms and standing by the bar. Not listening to me he continued. "No man takes a beating like that without a mark to show for it." he said staring at my dad. Again his friend tried to get him to leave. Shrugging him off he grabbed my dad's shoulder. "I know what you are." "You lost your money you keep this up you'll loose something else." my dad said clearly not happy this guy was nagging him. 'Good, the idiot is walking away.' I thought keeping an eye on him. Suddenly stopping he grabbed his friends knife and turned back to my dad. "Dad!" I yelled, trying to get his attention. Grabbing him by the shirt my dad forced him against a wood beam putting his claws to the guys neck. Hearing the cocking of a gun I turn my head to see the bartender with his rifle pointed at me. "Dad..." I said putting my hands up a little to were he could see them. "Get out of my bar freak, take your kid too." he said shaking a little. Looking back at the guy he had stuck to the wall with his claws he quickly cut the gun in half so I could so next to him. Sheathing his claws he put his arm around my shoulders and led me out of the bar. "Are you ok darlin?" he whispered to me. "I'm fine, been a while since something like that happend." I said getting in the truck. After starting the truck he started flexing his hands looking at his knuckles. "You ok?" I asked grabbing his wrist. "I'm fine, you worry to much." He said giving me a small smile. Smiling back, I went to the back of the truck and going into the camper he attatched to the bed of the truck and got out one of my books.
