I'm sorry for not updating in a while, but I still have that darn writer's block. I know what's supposed to happen but I can't type the words. It's pretty frustrating. Then I'll be off to college again in Monday (10/13) and my schedule is packed. I really don't know how often I'll be able to write. I even have to go on 4 Saturdays and Sundays (one of them is my birthday grumbles…), so be patient with updates, please!!

Return to Weapon X Sequel
A bit earlier…
"Come on, hurry up!" Kitty said and still tried to hold onto Jubilee's and Rogue's hands to share her powers with them. She heard how the soldiers came quickly closer, heard their angry shouts and threats. Her heart was hammering fast in her chest, too deep was the fear of what those men would do to them when they got their hands on the three girls again.
Her mind still tried to understand what had happened… As soon as the soldiers had undressed them and tied them to those tables in their underwear only, Stryker had given instructions and the soldiers had deactivated their collars. Then, before any scientist had begun with their tests and the soldiers had left, Rogue had somehow freed her hand and attacked the man above her. This one had gasped in shock when she began to suck the life out of him and Jubilee had managed to blow the technical equipment at the same time as Kitty had phased through the table and had knocked out another scientist before this one was able to call for help. They had barely pulled their shirts back on as the door opened and soldiers came back inside. Kitty had just grabbed her two friends and phased through walls, and from then on the hunt had been on…
"I can't go on," Jubilee cried, tears streaming down her eyes in fear and she gasped in shock as they somehow ended up on the outside. "It's so cold…"
"They're coming!" Rogue shouted after taking a look over her shoulder, heard how bullets went past her head as Kitty dragged them into another direction. "Where are you going?!"
"There are cars," the girl panted and tried to run faster through the snow. She could hardly feel her hands and feet anymore. "We'll take one!"
"But you can't drive!" Rogue replied, ducked automatically as a bullet would have hit her head, if Kitty hadn't shared her powers again.
"I can," Jubilee said. "Wolvie taught me."
Once more Rogue looked behind her. She knew the soldiers were too close already. Kitty would have to let go of one of them in order to start the car. Biting her lip, the girl tried to find a solution. "I'll try to stop them. You have to hurry up and try to escape!"
"What?!" Jubilee cried. "Are you nuts?! They're gonna kill you!"
"We don't have enough time. Kitty has to let go of one of us otherwise we can't start the car," Rogue explained while running. "I'll try to stop them long enough for you to get away. Just make sure they don't get you!"
"Rogue, no!" Kitty begged but the girl had already let go of her hand and ran back towards the soldiers. "Shit!" Tightening her grip on Jubilee's hand, she dragged her over to the car and phased through it only to let go of her next. "Hurry up!"
"Hold on!" the other girl said. "If I use too much power the car will be useless…" With shaking hands she began to work on the cables, tried to recall what Logan had taught her and prayed that she wouldn't screw up.
"Hurry!" Kitty shouted and watched in horror how Rogue, after attacking two soldiers with her deadly skin, was brutally knocked unconscious. "They're coming, Jubes!"
"Got it!" Jubilee said and the engine roared to life. "Okay… What did Wolvie say again…?"
"Jubes!" her friend yelled and grabbed her hand before the bullet would have killed her. "Hurry up!" Letting go of the hand again, she watched how Jubilee tried to control the car as it began to move. "We need to be faster than that!"
"Can't you phase the car?!" Jubilee asked her and hit the accelerator.
"No!" Kitty tried to hold onto something and her eyes began to widen as the gate came closer. "Jubes?!" she asked and her hand reached out for the safety belt.
"We have to break through," her friend only said. Screaming, she closed her eyes as the car hit the gate at full speed. She was hardly able to hold onto the steering wheel as the car made some violent turns, but as soon as the girls realized that they had made it they sheered aloud. "Where to now?!"
Looking back, Kitty couldn't see any cars following them,…yet. "We haven't made it, yet. They won't give up that easily…"
"We need to get help!"
"I know…"
"Where are we anyway?!" Jubilee asked as the street soon ended in a snowy nothingness.
"Looks like…Canada or Alaska…," Kitty shrugged and kept on checking their back.
"What…what if they have brought us to Antarctica or something?!"
"Jubes… There are no trees in Antarctica!"
"How can you be so sure, huh?" the girl sulked. "Have you ever been there?!"
"Concentrate on the street, please!" her friend begged since she didn't like some moves the car made from time to time. "We need a phone first…"
"Does this thing have a heater?!" Jubilee asked since she could hardly control her trembles anymore. The adrenaline in her blood was decomposing. Now she began to feel the coldness and shock, wished she would wear more than just a thin shirt. Her eyes watched how Kitty reached out and activated the heater before she turned her head again. "Thanks."
"Why are they not following us?!" Kitty asked after a long moment of silence and pulled her legs up and onto the seat. "They should be following us…" Her eyes desperately searched for any cars or helicopters, but there were none. A surprised scream escaped her lips as the car came to a sudden halt. "Why are you…," she began to ask Jubilee, who was staring at something, but her eyes grew wide too as she noticed the military cars and soldiers right in front of them. "No…," she whispered and watched terrified how four soldiers came closer, their weapons pointing at the two girls, who remained frozen in their seats. They knew it was over…
Since this is a short "How did the girls escape?" chapter, I decided to stop here and tell the main story in the next chapter. I think I can manage to update tomorrow (today for me) before college begins again (yuk…). Sorry to keep you all waiting!! Please review!
