When I finally came to I realized I was on the ground and very cold. Looking up I saw that I was in what looked like a jail cell. Across the way there was a child in a red jumpsuit behind another set of bars watching me. Sitting up slowly, because I was very stiff I gave the kid a little smile that I hoped looked reassuring.

"Hi there. Do you know where we are." The kid didn't answer or change expression all he did was shake his head from side to side. Then I felt a tickle at the back of my mind like when the Professor tried to contact me, then there was a voice in my head.

"They took me in the middle of the night. I was sleeping, I didn't even see who took me." I gave the boy a sorrowful look and answered aloud.

"I'm so sorry, my name is Anna Bailey." The kid studied me a moment before I heard his voice again.

"I'm Adrian. What are you doing here? Your not a mutant of any kind." I sighed and got to my feet leaning against the bars.

"Your right I'm not, but I have a friend who is. Apparently I'm suppose to be their bait, boy are they in for a surprise." The boy just shook his head with a pitiful hopeless look.

"Don't get your hopes up for being rescued. If your friend is stupid enough to come here, he won't be walking out again."I didn't answer I just sat down with my head resting against the cool bars. Praying that Remy and the others would get here soon.

Back at the Mansion

The Professor was holed up in Cerebro and in the outside hallway Remy Lebeau was pacing back and forth. He shot a disdainful look at the X-men who were also waiting.

"I don't see why we need his fancy gizzmo. I know where the island is we could'a already been there by now." Scott took a breath and replied as evenly as he possibly could.

"Remy I know how you feel I was at the island before too. But we need to assess the situation before we charge in there." Remy stormed up to Scott and got right in his face.

"No mon frere you don't know how Remy feels. Remy was the first mutant to break outta that hell hole on his own. Now that means they gotta a axe to grind with me, plus Anna knows about this place. God knows what they may be doin to her..." He trailed off after that and Remy turned away cursing in Cajun French. Trying to hide the water building in his eyes. Xavier came rolling out of Cerebro with a slightly tired look, he'd been in there for over twenty minutes. He scanned over the people assembled in the hall and spoke with a measured tone.

"The island is heavily fortified, but there is a blind spot in there security. Behind a cropping of rocks that should shield the jet. Remy." Remy's head whipped to him and Xavier asked he in his same measured tone.

"If we can get onto the island undetected can you get us inside?" Giving a smirk that was slightly cold Remy replied.

"Please, it's me." Scott came forward ready for action.

"Then we'll get you a uniform." Remy just scoffed at the notion and declined and Scott led the way to the hanger. When they got in view of the jet Remy couldn't stop the gasp of wonder at the XR-72. Quickly the others got changed into their leather uniforms and they loaded into the jet. Remy sat silently and strapped himself in, soon Scott and Jean had the jet in the air and they were off to Three Mile Island. He kept his eyes closed for a bit keeping his breathing even.

The situation was eating away at Remy's heart. Remembering what they were capable of doing to him, as a mutant made him shutter. But it terrified him to think what they could do to Anna if they thought she was protecting him. He clutched his fists trying to compartmentalize his emotions the same way he always did before a job. For some reason though this was different Remy couldn't control the the anger bubbling up under the surface.

Across the way Storm was fastening her cape to her wrists and reviewing the plans of the island in her head. Her eyes briefly scaned over the others and her gaze landed on Remy and his clutched fists. Leaning over she spoke softly.

"Don't worry Remy, Anna is a strong woman. I know that you care for her greatly, but I feel that she will be okay." Remy looked at her wearily and took a deep breath. Sagging in his seat he answered back quietly.

"I sure hope so."

On the Island

I sat in my cell trying to get comfortable on the cold cement floor. My head started to lull back and forth as I started to drift into a small nap. But I was startled awake when the door of my cell was slide open loudly. In the doorway was Victor Creed holding what looked like night stick with a taser on the end. I looked at him with wide eyes hoping he was here for what I thought he was. The man just looked at me and then grinned at me flashing his feral looking teeth.

"Ok red. Time to discuss the matter of where you and Gambit were hiding."

And so the plot thickens. Hope you like. Please review.
