Chapter
7 - Where is she?
Logan stalked out of his classroom,
thinking of nothing other than getting to Xavier's as quickly as
possible. There was one person on his mind. The questions that ran
through his brain were all about her, his precious Rogue. Questions
like is she really alive or was this just another false lead? If she
was alive, where the hell has she been all this time? Who was this
person that Xavier had received this information from? Exactly how
long had Xavier even known Rogue might still be alive?
Logan made it to the Professor's office in record time and had still been able to give detention to two boys for making fun of a younger mutant. Without caring enough to knock, he barged into the room. Upon seeing others in the room, Logan growled lowly. The whole team was there, including Ororo, Scott, Kurt, Kitty, Bobby, Peter and the Professor.
'What's goin' on Chuck?' Logan glared at Xavier harshly 'You promised you'd tell me everything you know first. Not invited your own party.' Even in his thoughts, Logan was growling.
Xavier merely looked at Logan with a calm look upon his face. 'Logan, I know you're anxious about this information, but you're also not the only one that cares about Rogue.'
Logan couldn't believe what he just heard, it was hilarious. He snorted and snarled darkly at the Professor. "'Not the only one that cares about Rogue.'" he quoted the professor mockingly, "If I remember correctly, I'm the only one that believed she was still alive over the past two and a half years. Everyone else told me to give up and move on. I'm not cheering now because we have some hard proof that she could be alive. I never stopped believing."
"Logan," Scott cut in, "Everyone here knows that, but don't you think you should hear the Professor out before you start making accusations."
Logan growled in response, but quieted himself and leaned against the wall near Ororo, impatiently waiting for the older mutant to start talking. Xavier nodded his thanks to Scott, taking a deep breath, he began to talk.
"I received this information five days ago," Xavier raised his hand at Logan to make sure he didn't interrupt the speech, "The reason I did not bring it up before now is because I wanted to make sure that it was for real."
Despite the Professor's raised hand, Logan interjected. "Who's your source?"
The Professor gave him a look that said 'Be quiet'. "As I was saying, I obtained this intellect from a good friend of mine. He used to come to school here, before moving on to work for the government on mutant rights. After he graduated, he has become the Secretary of Mutant Affairs. The man's name is Dr. Henry or "Hank" McCoy."
"And what exactly did you learn from him?" Logan inquired; he was getting bored of beating around the bush.
"I'm getting there, Logan." replied Xavier coolly; "Hank faxed the documents over this morning." he rolled over towards the fax machine and retrieved a hand full of papers. "Hank has informed me that, sometimes, when a mutant is left on their own for a period of time, it doesn't have to be a long time or a short period of time, they can be taken to undercover government payed programs. These programs are cruel and harsh. Extensive experiments are done on the subjects extreme combat training, dangerous weapon training, and many of the mutants are never seen or heard from again."
"Are you saying that Rogue is in one of these places or that she could be in one of places?" Ororo questioned doubtfully as she stood next to her lover, holding his hand lightly for reassurance.
Xavier sighed and rubbed his tired eyes. "Hank has told me that a friend of his, a mind doctor named Dr. Julie Greenwood, has confirmed that there is a mutant girl with the description of our Rogue, but due to her contract with the head of the program, she is unable to give us any information on the physical or mental health of Rogue. All Hank and I have been able to piece together is that if Rogue is at this place, she is something special to the man in charge and no information has been able to leak."
Through his speech Logan had been growing increasingly annoyed, "Do you know where this program is being held?" he challenged.
"I don't know an exact location, but I do know a 100 metre radius around the area," the Professor explained disheartfully.
"And the area is.." Logan urged him onward.
"The area is in an old hotel. The upper levels make the place look normal, while the lower levels are where all the experiments are done."
"Yeah, but with all respect Professor, that wasn't the question." the usually quiet Kitty spoke and everyone's attention was immediately directed to her uprightness. "The question was where this area is. Please stop dancing around the subject and tell us already. Some of us would be glad to get Rogue back," Kitty shot Bobby a death glare, Bobby cowardly turned away.
Logan smiled at the younger girl. She had been a great friend to Rogue when she was here and now she wanted to look for her as well. He was proud of her.
The Professor glanced down at the document still in his hands. "The paper says; "It's in a abandon town near Alkali Lake, the government has dressed it up to look like it's up and running still, but it's all a distraction to keep the publics' attention away from what they're really doing." Xavier quoted.
"When do we leave?" asked Peter urgently.
"We will not be leaving today," the Professor started, "When I have some more data we will go in, but not until then, okay? I don't want you running in half cocked because your feelings are clouding your judgement."
"Chuck's right," Everyone looked at Logan. He was the last person they thought would agree with Xavier's plan. "We need a plan before we can do anything. It's most likely the people in charge of this place have it well guarded."
"Well then, let's plan," Kitty piped in eagerly, she might have another chance to see one of her best friends, the last thing she was going to do was screw it up.

A middle aged man, in a fading army uniform sat stiffly behind a security desk, muttering to himself about working the unholy hours of the night. He sat in a room that looked a lot like an office lobby; plain coloured wallpaper and a pale coloured carpet. To the outside world this place looked normal, but unknown to everyone, except the inhabitants, the place was a secret undercover government program. He was very quiet as he looked upon his many computer screens. Each screen was split into four panels that showed a cell and in each cell was a person. The people in the cells were aged from as young as five to as old as seventy-five. The army man sighed in boredom, but suddenly jumped when the front doors were flung open.
Quickly the man stood up off his chair and placed his left hand on his gun holster, no one was allowed in this area without the right identification, but he soon released it when he saw who it was. Walking towards him, in a black business suit and a matching black briefcase in her right hand, was Doctor Julie Greenwood. Dr. Greenwood approached the desk and at the guard as she got out her identification card.
"How's your night been so far, Greg?" she asked with a sweet smile as she quickly looked at his name tag on his front of his shirt.
Greg smiled back at the woman in front of him and replied, "It's just gotten a whole lot better."
Dr Greenwood handed over the identification card and waited for Greg to punch in her security number. As Greg put in the number into the computer he didn't notice Dr. Greenwood's eyes quickly flash to a bright yellow. Greg handed back the identification card and open the elevator doors for the doctor, "Have a good night, Dr. Greenwood."
"Don't worry, I will," she called as she got in to the elevator; she waved to Greg as the doors closed.
"Idiot," she muttered to herself when the doors were fully shut. 'Dr. Greenwood' pushed the button for the tenth level and waited.
It only took a few minutes before 'Greenwood' was walking into 'her' office and locking the door. As she sat down on the chair behind the computer her skin began to shift and change. After a couple of seconds instead of Julie Greenwood sitting in the computer chair, it was the mutant shape shifter Mystique. The blue skinned woman smirked as she logged into the doctor's computer, 'This is to easy', she thought to herself.
"Eric better like the information I'm getting him," Mystique muttered under her breath as she opened one of the folders on the computer.
