*Psyches*
Chapter 1
The ground shook beneath the soldiers and one grabbed his communicator.
" The mutants have escaped! Their heading towards the northeast exi.." the commander stopped mid sentence when he was thrown into a wall by an invisible force.
He turned around quickly and saw a floating red head before the hallway collapsed where he and his men were standing.
"Good job Red. Can you find a way outta here?" Logan grunted, he was carrying Nightcrawler who had crashed his head into a wall when he was dodging some bullets.
A look of concentration settled on the girls face, " This way!"
The others followed, all exhausted from using their powers. All the brotherhood members except Lance were running ahead. Lance stayed back to support Kitty who barely had any strength left to walk from all her phasing. The others were jogging ahead of them and behind them was Rogue.
" Like Rogue hurry up!" Kitty yelled, not knowing why the older girl was so far behind. Lance slowed down a bit.
" Wha' do yah think your doin'? Hurry up and git outta here!" / DAHM IT why are my psyches acting up on me now!/ Rogue groaned as the voices started to get louder. The ones that tried to coax her to speed up were yelling it to drown out the others who were telling her to give up.
* You might as well give up. * Keep on running. * You're almost there! * She's not going to make it *
They started to get even louder, but she kept on going. Rogue turned the corner and saw the X-Men trying to defend themselves without causing any damage. Wolverine of course was just trying not to kill anyone. Iceman iced a wall and Cyclops blasted it making a hole on the other side of where Rogue was, to the next room.
/Why did it have to be over there?/ Rogue jumped over some rubble and knocked the feet from underneath one person and kicked another in the face. Black spots appeared in front of her eyes and she leaned against the wall. A couple spikes hit the clothing of the soldiers coming after her pinning them to the wall.
"Rogue!," Spike came over and helped Rogue to the next room.
"What's wrong with Stripes," yelled Logan.
"Nothin!" Rogue shot a glare at Spike and Logan. " Hurry up! We need to get outta here." /I only need to go a little further/ Spike left her alone running towards the next room glancing back occasionally to see if she was following. He turned a couple corners and headed down a long hallway. Rogue wasn't behind him.

Something bashed into Rogue's head making her see spots again. She fell through a doorway and was able to keep from falling down. Quickly she got into a defensive stance and faced her opponent. He wasn't impressive, medium height and build, and he already looked quite beaten. She faked a right punch, and hit him with her left hand catching him straight in the jaw. Then she ducked down from one of his swings and socked him in the chest. He fell back crashing into a wall then Rogue removed her glove and touched his face. After a couple seconds she let go and waited for her psyches to act up. They didn't. /What the hell is going on! Why aren't they yelling?...ah there they go./
They started yelling again with the newly added psyches. She pushed them back into her mind and turned to see the room. There was a lot of screen in the room and a control panel. She looked up at the monitors and saw many of Trask's men gathering in a room, and the X-Men moving straight for it.
~~~~~~~~~
The mutants were heading towards the next doorway automatically choosing to head straight instead of to the side when it suddenly closed. Blinking red lights came on leading to the right where the other doorway opened.
" This is a trap," Mystique hissed.
"Well we don't have any other choice," yelled Storm already following the red lights. Mystique looked like she was going to argue when she heard heavy footsteps coming from behind her. There was 6 guards with guns ready to shoot but before they could the door closed and there was sounds of lasers from the other side.
" I think we should follow the blinking red lights yo."
Mystique glared at Todd then went after Storm and the others who had already left.
"What did I say yo?" After a couple of turns they came to a ladder that looked like it led to the outside. They all climbed out and Jean looked around while Scott interrogated Mystique who was still locked inside. Some of them had left to get the X-Jet.
"Hey! Where's Rogue?" Scott looked up after locking the way out.
"What! Is she still inside?" SKINT! Wolverine was about to tear hole when helicopters were heard overhead. The X-Jet came and shot at the copters enough so they would have to land. Beast could be seen piloting the thing through the window.
"She's probably inside already! Don't worry." Storm, always the voice of reason, said while calling up a gust of wind to push some attackers back.
[ Beast is Rogue in there?]
~~~~~~~~~
/Please, Please follow the red lights!/ Rogue watched the monitor and sighed when they started moving in the direction of the exit she found. Mystique though was still in the room. She saw some people with guns nearing where she was. /Should I or Shouldn't I, Should I or Shouldn't I/ They lifted their guns. /Ah Hell/ The doors closed right before they could get out a shot. /I'm too nice/ A pout was beginning to form on her face but she instantly covered it up with a frown. Which was immediately changed to a smirk and then a smile. A very evil smile.
~~~~~~~~~
In one of the rooms lasers were going off, in another gas poured in.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!" Trask watched as the doors closed as soon as he was 4 steps away and open when he took a step back.
Open. Step forward. Closed. Step backward. Open. Step forward. Closed. Step backward. Open. Mad dash through the door. Open. He laughed and turned around to find that he ran across to the next room.
Step forward. Closed.
