In this chapter Angel uses his wing-knives not sure if that fits where he was (who he was) at this point in the cannon but hey its fanfiction and I needed him too. :) Also I'm very rusty and I can't write good action as it is, so bear with me.

BLINK

Suddenly Gambit and Blink appear in the corner of Rogue's room, Sinister intent on the delicacy of his task at hand doesn't quite notice them at first. At the sight of the devil himself leaning over the woman that represents Remy's sole reason to want to survive the fight ahead, he feels bile rising to his mouth it takes an incredible amount of self-control not take Sinister out that very second. What stops him is the thought that with her powers negated one slip of the scalpel could end her life, before Remy can finish the thought of what to do Clarice is gone.

BLINK

She is suddenly next to Sinister, her hand over top of his pulling him away from Rogue.

"WHAT HAVE YOU-"BLINK Sinister's scream is cut off as Blink takes both herself and her father from the room.

Running over Remy fights back tears as he leans over his love. The incision is not large but extremely deep, as Remy's first aid survival training kits in its as if his hands move on there own, he doesn't even notice really that he is touching Rogue skin-to-skin. With the deftness of a surgeon he closes her wound, as he reaches up to release her bonds, he pauses and stares at her perfect face, 'M sorry chere, never meant for 'dis, Dieu watch over 'er. Even as he begins to charge the power-draning bonds to set her free he brushes a soft kiss across her lips and savors the sweetness that may never come again. Once she wake up, she'll leave ya 'gain LeBeau who could ever love 'de son of Essex? As the bonds break one lone tear travels down the thief's face and lands on her cheek. Within seconds her powers will kick in and the sedatives in her system will began to fade. Gambit gently places the well worn Queen of Hearts in her hand, and runs out of the room to find Sinister he will pay this day for all he has done. As he leaves he feels Jean send him the message they are in the compound.

"Ok X-Men we are going to split up Jean I want you, Iceman, Marrow and Jubliee to go towards the center of the compound Rogue is located there and according to Gambit she is unconscious get her out here to the Blackbird, for some reason Sinister wants her so she may need protection. The rest of you with me, we are going after Gambit, Clarice and Sinister."

"Can you track them Logan?"

"I can smell 'em bub, but I can smell a whole mess of others, slash and dash time." Grinning Wolverine runs down the hall Nothing like a good fight to get me going, I'm really gonna enjoy this.

As the team of X-Men rush down the compound Scott is amazed at the ferocity they all fight with, most of the mutants or creatures they encounter get out of there way few fight and those that do are taken down almost instantly, it seems as though everyone is out for revenge. He also notices that this particular base of Sinister's must be either new or very secret for the usual variety of henchman aren't anywhere to be found just when he thinks this may be a much easier mission than his fears, Angel comes to a halt in mid-air, turns toward the group and lets out a barrage of wing-knives. Psylocke and Storm both drop to the floor, as Wolverine staggers a bit. Scott feels one pierce his leg and immediately senses the loss of control of his lower left side. As he falls he looks up at Angel in shock.

"You tricked me, you ROBBED MY MIND!!!" He shrieks as he flies towards Cyclops. His eyes look intent to kill, before Scott can get off a shot, Sam blasts into Angel and knocks him from the sky.

Angel is stunned only for a moment and quickly begins trying to pummel Cannonball. Psylocke regains her composure as she pulls a knife from her shoulder, and knocks her lover out with a physic blast. As the rest of the team began to recover, Scott searches for the reason why Angel went crazy.

It's a mutant- called healer- I'm trying to fight her off everybody now

Psylocke sends this out to everyone instantly.

Scott can feel Jean in his head putting barricades up across their link, to protect him from the Healer. Thanks my love He feels her turn her attention back to her task at hand, and wonders briefly what she is facing. Before he can give it a second thought, he sees Psylocke charge ahead with her blade in front of her, as she rounds the corner she slices into the skull of the Healer who falls lifeless to the ground.

"A little overboard there Bets?" asks Wolverine.

With a wry glance at who is saying that she states simply "He'll live…maybe."

Without a second glance her and Wolverine are off and running again.

"Sam take Warren back to the Blackbird and make it ready for take-off." With that Storm and him take off after Logan and Betsy.

Jean's team takes a slightly different approach rather than fight their way in Jean uses her powers to conceal them as they swiftly head towards Rogues room. When they reach it Rogue is just beginning to sit up on her bed. To her shock she is free though even with her powers returning she feels and incredible pain on the left side of her abdomen, she looks down and is horrified to see a stitched surgical wound as she reaches her hand to touch it she notices the Queen of Hearts. "Remy.." one name softly whispered that holds the key to her very soul.

"Rogue thank god." Jean runs to her and sensing her wound hugs her gently.

"Jean? Where's Remy? What did Sinister do to me?" as she asks tears stream down her face.

"I don't know dear, the rest of the team is going to help Remy, he called out to us, I don't know what Sinister did but we are going to get you both safe back at the mansion, let's go."

"Jeannie!! Enough with the small talk they know we are here!!" Bobby yells this across the room he has built and ice shield over the door, but as Jean glances over it begins to shatter from a massive force hurling against it. Jean throws up a shield just in time as pieces of ice splinter everywhere as a group of Sinister's cronies burst into the room. With immense effort Jean throws them to the side. Run people, Bobby get Rogue, Marrow and Jube cover our hides I'll make a way through to the Blackbird

"Hold on Roguie we're going for a ride." With that Iceman grabs Rogue and pulls her after him on his ice slide and follows Jean from the room. Rogue wants to protest wants to fight, but she is still weakened by the drugs its takes all her strength to keep a hold of Bobby as they whirl through the compound. Her only thoughts are of Remy and his welfare; she is consumed with guilt for always judging him, and for leaving him in this god-forsaken land to have to face his worse nightmare alone.
