Hola, mi amigos! So sorry about taking forever to update, but my laptop decided to catch fire, so I've got to borrow a computer to type. I'm going to try and update more often though, but who knows? Hummer later on in the chapter is a replica of one from CSI: Miami, so look it up, but imagine it has three rows. Shall we move on to the rescue?

Saving Logan: Part 2

We found ourselves staring at a large factory and it looks abandoned from a far look. However, as we got closer, we could see guards and cameras, but we didn't get too close yet. I crouched beside the four men as I questioned softly, "What do you know about this place, Victor?" Glancing at him out of the corner of my eye, I was shocked when Victor shook his head slightly and admitted, "Not much. This is one of the more recent places he built." I let my head drop as I sighed, "Dang, that means we're going in blind." Edward chuckled from beside me, "Did you forgot about the three vampires with you?" I facepalmed and blushed, "Maybe...think you three can use your super-speed and scope it out?"

Emmett guffawed from Edward's other side, "I don't 'think'. I know we can. Be back." I went to grab them, but they were gone with a quiet whoosh of air and a slight rustling of the leaves and grass. I grumbled quietly to myself before jumping when Emmett spoke from beside me, "Loads of guards and guns." I clutched my heart and glared at the man as I hissed, "You almost gave me a freakin' heart attack!" He grinned at me as Jasper spoke from behind me, "It won't be hard for us to sneak you two in. The cameras and guards shouldn't be able to see or hear us if you remain silent." I bit my lip as I thought to myself and Edward answered my thoughts, "We did a quick run through, but I smelled your brother down one of the halls. There was a lot of blood though, Lexine, and there are many other mutants locked up there."

I didn't know whether to be relieved or worried about the news, but I took a deep breath and pushed my emotions to the side, "Okay, Victor, you go release all the other mutants. I'm going for Logan. Jasper, Emmett, would you two come with me? Edward, would you go with Victor?" The four men nodded and Victor shocked us all, except for Edward probably, when he yanked me into a tight hug. He had his face nestled next to my ear as he whispered almost silently, "Take care of yourself, sister. Don't get hurt." Hesitantly, I wrapped my arms around him tightly and whispered quietly back, "Back at you...brother." He tightened his hold for a second before releasing me and disappearing with Edward. I looked at the ground for a minute before straightening up and looking at the two men left with me, "Well, you guys ready to bust some heads?"

Emmett gave an eager grin as he cracked his knuckles and Jasper gave a tiny smile, "Ready when you are, darlin'." I gave a small smirk back before I was hauled onto Emmett's back and they took off running. I took a sharp breath in as I watched everything blur by and I felt myself getting excited at the speed and wind. We stopped suddenly and Jasper breathed into my ear, "Logan is in that room around the corner. He's chained to some sort of machine and there are twenty guards with guns, a man that has a badge naming him as Stryker, and there is a man with sewn lips and pale skin." Dread filled me as I breathed out, "Deadpool."

They both looked at me in curiosity and I almost silently spoke, "He used to be a regular guy with a talent for swords named Wade Wilson. Stryker stole mutant powers and put them into the man to create Deadpool. Victor and Logan beheaded him last anyone heard of him. Can't believe he's still alive. Okay, we'll go in, but don't attack. I want to try and end this peacefully." Emmett looked disappointed, but Jasper gave a nod and smile of approval, "Let's go, darlin'." I gave the blonde a thankful smile before sliding off Emmett's back and I squared my shoulders as I led the way into the room. I could barely keep my horrified look and gasp to myself when I saw Logan chained to a metal table. He was bloody and his right arm was twisted in a way that I knew it was broken, "Lexine! Get out of here!"

I blinked at my brother before turning my attention to the tall man with graying hair, "Ah, so you must be Lexine Howlett. Pleasure to meet you." I walked until I was five feet from him and Deadpool as I spoke, "William Stryker. I'd say it is a pleasure, but I would be lying. Release my brother and the other mutants. They've done nothing to you." His eyes hardened, "You're all a menace. You're going to destroy humans. Mutants can't be trusted." I rested a hand on my hip as my other hand gestured towards the silent man beside Stryker, "Yet you have a mutant working for you and you constantly add more powers to him. Not all mutants are bad, Stryker. Many are good people that have bad things happen to them. You don't need to stop all mutants, just the ones that are criminals, but bring them to justice through the court systems."

I would be twenty feet under the ground if looks could kill and his words were venomous, "All mutants need to be controlled. There is no justice for them. Kill them." Emmett and Jasper tensed beside me as the men readied their guns and I got into a fighting defense as my claws popped out and my canines sharpened. I muttered to the vampires beside me, "Try not to kill them. I'm taking Deadpool. Get Logan out of here and I'll meet you guys back at the hill." They nodded before we charged and the two men disappeared as Deadpool let his swords slide out of his arms. My claws clashed against the swords and I couldn't fight the shudder that went down to my spine when I saw his eyes. They were empty, but sharp with will and determination.

I lost track of Stryker as I dodged swipes from Deadpool and we continued to exchange blows. I heard an animalistic roar before the man before me was tackled to the ground and I stared in surprise at Edward as he stood beside me, "What are you doing here? You need to get out!" He gave me a sidelong gaze as he spoke, "Lexine, Bella considers you her sister. She told me that you're family and family protects each other. If your family to Bella, then you're family to all of us." I blinked to hold sudden tears back at the warm feeling in my heart before we turned our attention back to Deadpool, "You won't win, Lexine! All mutants will be controlled or they will fall!" I gazed around for Stryker, but stopped when Edward hissed, "He ran. He's using an intercom."

The bronze-haired man froze before urgency colored his voice, "We need to go. Now. He set off the self-destruct." I nodded, "Go, Edward. Grab Victor and get out now. I'll be right behind you. I promise." He hesitated, but sighed and disappeared as Deadpool ran off. I didn't worry about the man I had been fighting as I hurried to a computer and I began searching through the documents. I tried to read as much as I could because Professor X could pick it out of my memories later. However, I was stopped when an explosion sent me flying backwards into a wall. I groaned in pain as I shoved myself to my feet and I started to run out. It wasn't till I was surrounded by falling pieces of the building, fire, and smoke that I realized I had no idea where I was going. I groaned, "Crap! You idiot!" I searched frantically and kept running as I avoided debris and men running around me.

Finally, I saw an exit and I sprinted for it while trying to stop inhaling smoke and ignoring the burns and cuts littering my body. I saw my brothers and the three vampires standing about 1,000 feet away from the building, but I wasn't clear yet. I saw their faces turn to horror as a large shadow covered me and I stopped to look up at large piece of burning wall falling towards me. There was no way I could run to safety, so I stopped and closed my eyes as tears pricked my eyelids, Edward, tell Peter I love him and tell Bella I'm so sorry and to never forget me. Tell everyone I'm sorry. I let my head bow before squealing in shock when cold arms wrapped around me and yanked me in one direction. I heard a thunderous crash, but felt no pain and I looked up to find Edward's face about five inches from mine as dust billowed everywhere, "What...you saved me."

He gave a genuine, warm smile as he answered, "I told you, Lexine. You're family and we always protect family." I hugged him tightly before he helped me stand and I stared at Logan, who looked completely healed, before he pulled me close. Logan gave me a tight hug as I hugged him back and it wasn't long before another set of arms wrapped around us and I looked up to see Victor hugging us. His embrace was tentative, but it tightened when I gave him an encouraging smile. However, Logan broke the group hug and pulled me protectively towards him, "What are you doing here, Victor?" I placed a calming hand on Logan's shoulder as Jasper used his gift to keep tempers at bay, "Logan, he came with me to help save you and the other mutants. The Brotherhood is working together with the X-Men to save mutants. You've missed a lot in the time you were captured. Humans are hunting all of us down and capturing us or killing us. They've created robots that somehow track us down. We came to save you and now we need to head back to help the others fight."

Victor quietly commented, "They all made it out safely and ran for safety." Logan growled at our eldest brother and I had enough. Surprising everyone, I slapped Logan across the face and his head snapped to the side, "Logan James Howlett. Stop this now. He's our brother and he risked his life to save you and he's saved my life twice. Ask the professor when we see him. Victor has changed for the better. I promise. Now you stop behaving like a teen with a grudge and man up. Put the past behind you because our future depends on all of us getting along and working together." My brother stared at me in shock as his red cheek returned to its normal color and he took a deep breath before extending a hand to our eldest brother, "Thank you." I grinned happily while shaking my hand slightly, "Remind me to never slap you."

Everyone burst out laughing and we began the walk back to the city. Jasper went to buy a car as Edward left to buy food and Emmett came with my brothers and I to grab new clothes since our clothes were basically destroyed. I went into a public bathroom and used wet paper towels to clean myself before changing and climbing into the silver Hummer that was waiting for me. I felt the adrenaline leave me shaking as the recent brushes with death hit me. I curled up in the back seat as tears silently dripped down my face and I felt someone gently wipe them away before Edward's voice whispered, "You're safe now, Lexine. Go to sleep and recover." I opened my eyes a little bit and gave him a tiny smile before succumbing to sleep.
