Chapter 4. An Eye For An Eye
Alright guys. Sorry for the very,very, very long wait. But I'v got multiple stories going on so its pretty hard to keep up with each. But heres the next chapter.
So just to recap:
A plan formed in Logan's head.
He needed to find Rogue and save her. But to do that, he needed help. And if everyone else worried more about fixing their goddamned school back together, then he needed to find someone else to help him.
And he knew just who to call.
Logan scowled.
He hated it, but it had to be done.
Logan decided he had to find Magneto and his little gang of mutant rebels.
- Rogues been taken.
Please Review/Comment ! Helps a lot! ENJOY!
It hadn't been long after the battle with Magneto and the little scene portraying the Phoenix that everyone realised the 'cure' was only temporary. It had only taken the abilities for a short while, merely a day or two. And by now, everyone was enraged.
Not only were the mutants still furious at the government for contributing the cure, but the regular citizens of society were raging on about how it was ineffective. They feared mutants, and why should they not? They were dangerous. Still human, but dangerous.
Even without the people of the world knowing such mutants existed, there were regular people still committing crimes. The government had its hands full. They had to protect the world from itself, as well as people that had amazing powers, beyond that of this world.
They just weren't ready. They were so unprepared it was humiliating.
But the Wolverine, however, was ever so ready.
Logan walked towards Magneto's base.
It was on a small, uninhabited island. Somewhere in the desolate, yet demanding ocean. It had trees and plants, water and animals. And even a gigantic building made out of complete metal hidden among the trees.
This was where they must have kept the Senator.
Logan proceeded through the forest, his senses on high alert and his claws drawn.
When he was alive.
Logan didn't feel comfortable venturing further into a completely metal building. In which his claws would render him defenceless if he came upon Magneto. But he pushed on, his determination sparking a fire of anger which he used as fuel to push on.
Logan's steps were quiet, only vaguely sending a small echo of noise only he could hear. His senses were on overdrive, his hearing searching for the sources of all sounds.
His heartbeat, his breathing, the step of his feet. He inhaled the air as he journeyed further and further into the nest of the rebellious mutants.
There.
Logan turned sharply, seeing a large metallic door just ajar.
Three mutants.
Logan crept silently to the door, his senses sending a shrill tingle up his spine. He took a deep breathe, the beast within him clawing eagerly for some action.
"The Wolverine," An old voice came.
Logan's body became stiff, his feet and hands pushed to his side with his back up straight. He was lifted up by an unknown source and then thrown through the open doors into the room containing three other mutants waiting inside.
Shit.
"I hope you haven't come to turn us in"
The force on Logan's body slowly subsided as he turned his head up to see Magneto standing above him. And on each of his sides, were Pyro, and Mystique.
Pyro that little punk. A real troublemaker he was, I was just too blind to see how he would end up. To blind to see it until it had already happened. Logan thought to himself.
Logan turned his head to face the blue scaled mutant. Her yellow eyes fixed on his chocolate ones. Her red hair was combed back, revealing every inch of her face. Her lips were turned up into a wicked smirk, she must be laughing inside.
The Wolverine composed himself, rubbing the dirt off his knees as he stood up, retracting his claws back into his fist with a sharp zing.
"I need your help"
He tried his best to keep the snarl out of his voice, but it had sneaked itself just a tiny bit into his tone.
"Really?" Magneto seemed to be dumbfounded. "You need my help?"
Logan couldn't hold it in. He scowled. "Don't get cocky, Magneto. I only need your guys to help me rescue Rogue"
Pyro and Mystique tilted their heads slightly in confusion.
"She's been taken. My suspicions are that he took her for her abilities" Logan explained.
In his head, Logan saw flashes of horrible scenes portraying Rogue being tortured. Past flashes of his painful memories of experiments being conducted on him made the Wolverine fist his hand, his claws itching for release.
Magneto seemed to be taking the situation in. He was slightly pacing across the metallic floor, his elbow propped up on his other hand, with the other curled on his chin like he was thinking.
"Come on," Logan urged. "I thought you cared for mutant rights. She's been taken. Probably to be experimented on. You saw her powers"
Magneto was an arrogant man. He did indeed believe that mutants had the 'right' to rule over humans. But he also thought that the sacrifice of some of his kind will benefit towards his great cause.
But it was Rogue. And he was especially amazed at her developing abilities. She was growing, growing into something more than the girl that he had himself kidnapped to kill. She had grown to harness and use her powers. She seemed to be no longer afraid, but determined.
Magneto stopped and turned.
"Alright. We will assist you in taking back our little Rogue" Magneto said. Logan let his fisted hand release all the tension, thankful that metal head was going to cooperate.
"But," Magneto said sharply. "You have to do something for me in return"
Sorry for the OOC'ness but mehh. What can you do?
