Chapter 2

Dairou slept soundly through the night as he freed Rogue from her cage earlier, but not out of the room.

"He's so sweet and peaceful when he's asleep" Rogue thought creeping closer to him without a sound, truth be told, she was beginning to freeze her ass off in the large room but Dairou wasn't bothered by it as she snuggled close to him and put his arm around her, careful not to wake him.

"Feeling comfortable, Rogue?" Dairou said with a purely evil smile awakened by her touch without gloves.

She looked up at him and immediately scurried to her side of the room, away from him as he looked at her in confusion "Why?" he whispered as she glared at him weakly "What do you care?"

He got to his feet, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes as Rogue muttered to herself "He was actually asleep, how did I wake him up so fast and easy?"

Dairou heard her and answered "I'm a very light sleeper, I was awake since you touched me." Rogue looked at her hand as if she had lost her mutant powers "My touch? Then, how are you not in a coma?"

"I don't think that can happen to me, it tickled and tingled a bit, but that was pretty much it." Dairou answered, he then went to the door and decided to open it, but Logan had locked it while he slept. He heard a chuckle and saw Logan leaning against the wall with a dark smirk "Let me out, Logan. What's the meaning of this?"

"Oh, don't pout, it'll all be over soon." Logan said with fake sympathy as he walked away laughing as Dairou's anger resurfaced like a broken dam and a red halo surrounded him, even more when he noticed Logan sneaked his swords out of the room. He felt weak and hated it as he went back to sitting away from Rogue as she came closer but he growled at her with a sadistic grin and the coldest voice she's ever heard "Don't like snuggling with the likes of you, come any closer and I'll snap your neck and you won't feel a thing."

Rogue kept her distance as Dairou drifted off to sleep again, she went to the door knowing he was a man of his word as she didn't want to die.

There were two voices, one was familiar, Logan's while the other sent a pure chill up Rogue's spine.

Logan was not far from their room turned cell, he was speaking with a man wearing a black hoodie, zipped up with a red and orange flame design as well as matching pants, he had short black hair and a purely sadistic stare with his large figure. Rogue didn't know much but Logan seemed to be bargaining with the guy, almost haggling.

"So, Logan. When do I get 'em?" the man asked in a pleasant American accent, Rogue knew his type and he was spelling bad news to her as Logan smirked "Quit worrying, bub. After we kill the X-brats and recapture Creed, they're both yours with the girl as bonus."

The man's eyes widen in delight as he glanced at Rogue "Victor Creed, huh? How delightful" He looked away from the door with a smirk as Logan looked there and saw nothing with narrow eyes "What about your boss? He's already angry, he'll blow a gasket when he finds out."

Logan stopped him with a raise of his hand "I can deal with Magneto, I always know what he likes to hear but if you rat on me" He popped his claws and slides the blades across the wall cutting concrete like nothing "I'll make it look like a accident, do I make myself clear, bub?"

The man swallowed a lump in his throat and backed away from the feral "I understand." Logan didn't believe him one bit and drew his hungry claws closer to the man "Sorry if I don't believe ya, but yer even less worthy of my trust than those two. Let's get you outta here."

The two left and Dairou slammed his head against the wall, he was bleeding but could care less after all, it was Rogue's fault for following him and maybe his for believing the words of Magneto and a man as much a monster as himself, Wolverine.

Dairou's head turned to the door which was on his left "Someone's here." Rogue looked around and saw Blob and Toad walking by, having listened to Logan and the stranger on their way to Magneto's office "Hey, you two!" Rogue called out catching their attention.

"You hear something, sounds like that Rogue chick?" Toad asked as Blob walked past him "Yeah, cuz it was Rogue but what's she doing here?" He made it to the door "What do you want, X-Man?"

"Got yourself locked in here while running from Dairou?" Toad joked as he hopped around, Dairou remained silent, his rage growing rapidly and uncontrollably, but poured out enough killer's intent to almost choke all three, alerting Blob and Toad of his presence, since they can't see him then stopped and growled "You heard the girl, open the door, bakas. I need to speak with Magneto."

"Good" Toad said "cuz he requested you and is mighty pissed that you were a no-show." Dairou sighed, he wasn't that afraid of Magneto anymore after all, the man knew little to nothing about Weapon X or it's existence besides what Wolverine told him and something told Dairou that Wolverine didn't tell him everything.

"I'll get you out in no time" Blob smirked, getting a bit of his confidence back "Stand back" Dairou remained seated but scooted away from the door with a low snarl as Rogue was clear of the door "Ready."

Blob punched the door down and Dairou got to his feet, without a word walking past them "Where's that runt?"

"I just saw him upstairs, why?" Toad asked as Dairou walked slowly with Rogue to Magneto's office "None of your concern"

The two exchanged looks and shrugged before heading to Magneto's office as well.

Upstairs...

Logan heard a crash downstairs and twitched with anger and a bit of nervousness "When will they get here? How soon?" he asked as the man replied "by the end of the week, seems Hydra, S.H.I.E.L.D as well as A.I.M wants a piece of this guy" he chuckled lightly "He's pretty famous, huh?"

Logan shrugged, not seeing the point of the joke but the last thing he needed right now was S.H.I.E.L.D on Dairou's or his own ass. Logan growled "Get out of here and forget you ever saw me, understood? I don't want the world to know I'm still alive just yet." The man got the message when he saw Logan's battle ready claws and left the building. When he got far enough that Logan couldn't hear him, he contacted his true bosses at Weapon X "We've got em', sir."

"And Weapon X, he doesn't suspect a thing?" The male voice asked.

The man shook his head with a evil grin "Not a thing, returning to base." He hung up and left.

Little did the man know, the X-Men were nearby and Sabretooth heard every word and grew angrier with every word as they waited it out and Sabretooth held back every urge to gut the man as Psylock, Jean and Emma scanned his mind.

"Didja get it?" Sabretooth said to the telepaths as Jean nodded "Everyone's coming. S.H.I.E.L.D, Hydra, A.I.M, you name it and their after Dairou."

Sabretooth nodded knowing she left out one, one he was personally familiar with. Weapon X.

"Why're we waiting out here?" Cyclops said "They don't know we're here and we have the element of surprise" the last hour of this wasn't doing wonders for Victor's nerves as he pulled Cyclops close and growled "You want to go in there alone and get yerself killed, I won't stop ya but stay out o' my face with it or so help me..."

Jean glared at him "Victor, not now." He lets him go, disgusted by his fear.

Dairou, Blob, Toad and Rogue were at Magneto's office. Dairou was unhappy like Magneto, Blob and Toad were afraid of his unpredictability and Rogue just wanted to go home and away from Wolverine as well as to forget any of this happened. Electricity danced around Dairou's body as he stared at Magneto coldly.

"Why is the X-Man not in custody?" Magneto growled at the three as Dairou growled back "Tell me, Magneto. What exactly do you know about Weapon X?"

Erik shook his head "Truthfully, I know almost nothing about as Wolverine only told me you grew up there, is that true?" Dairou nodded and became Yang-Dairou, though only Rogue seemed to notice as he growled "You're right, I grew up there after they kidnapped me from my real family." He looked at his hands "They experiment on poor mutants, until they lose their minds and their humanity...They stole my memories. Let me guess, he didn't tell you that bit?"

Magneto was shocked speechless; something like that was unfathomable to him. Dairou turned to leave "Rogue, we're leaving." He walked to the door before glancing at the Brotherhood "He planned to do the same to innocent Rogue, who did nothing to him. I won't warn you again, stay away from the X-Men or you're dead."

He left with Rogue; he walked behind her, looking over to her once again in deep thought.

Dairou smiled evilly to himself "Good, this girl is naïve and will lead me straight to Creed. It's like she wants me to get revenge against 'Sabreface' Creed" he thought darkly as they made their way to the X-Men outside.

A/N – Rogue leads Dairou outside to the waiting X-Men, but will that be her undoing as he still wants revenge against Victor Creed?
