Danger Room Tag 2

Pyro was smiling like a maniac, a huge fireball in his hands. "Alright! Now I can finally take someone out!" He threw the fireball at them.

Without thinking twice Rogue grabbed Cannonball's arm and jumped through the wall of the closest building. They landed on the floor of a dark room. The only light was from the street outside. The room was filled with boxes and empty crates.

Rogue smirked as she heard Pyro speak to himself. "Hey! Where'd they go?" Rogue was about to stand up when a noise of scuffling feet caught her attention. A moment later she heard Shadowcat call out into the darkness. "Hello? Is anybody, like, there?" She asked, uncertainty in her voice.

She watched as Shadowcat passed by a row of crates. "X? Is that, like, you?" She asked, her eyes straining in the darkness.

Cannonball looked at Rogue. She nodded, and he flew at Shadowcat. She let out a shriek of surprise. She got tackled to the ground. Her head hitting the ground hard.

Cannonball spoke into his communicator. "Wolverine? We got Shadowcat." He told him.

The doors burst open and Pyro walked in. Rogue pushed Cannonball to the ground, hiding behind the crates in the back of the room. Of course, Pyro would have heard her squeal. He was after all in the alley next to them.

She heard Pyro walking among the crates. "Shadowcat? Where are you? You okay?"

Rogue transformed into Kitty. She jumped up behind the crate. "Oh Pyro, it's like, just you. I though maybe it was, like, somebody else. I'm totally fine, I just saw a totally disgusting rat." She said, shaking her head in disgust.

Pyro nodded his head. "Okay. Just checking." He opened the doors, but froze when Rogue's communicator went off.

"We found Cyclops!" Jubilee screamed. "But he got away."

Pyro turned back to her with suspicious eyes. He created a fireball. The fireball froze in his hands. A punch sent to the back of his head knocked him out.

Mean while Rogue transformed back into herself, and Cannonball stood up next to her. "We got Shadowcat and Pyro!" He spoke into his communicator.

Iceman stepped inside. "What are you guys doing in here?" He asked.

Rogue phased through the crates towards Iceman, Cannonball jumping over them. "We were running from Pyro, then Shadowcat just happened to be in here. Wait!" She looked around. "Where's Scarlet Witch and Jubilee? I thought you were with them." She pointed out.

Pyro's communicator went off. "Hey-Pyro!-I-got-my-sister-out!-Can-you-believe-it?" He cackled like a maniac. A pause and then he continued. "Hey-Pyro?-You-there?"

Iceman opened the door, looking both way down the streets. "We should get out of here."

Rogue nodded, following Iceman out. Cannonball walked behind her. They wandered back to the place where they had started.

When they got there they stumbled across, Havok and Cyclops. They were in a battle. Havok was using the optic blasts from his hand, while Cyclops used the optic blasts from his eyes. A few feet away, Beast laid knocked out.

Iceman peered over the bushes with Rogue. "Should we help?" He asked.

Rogue shook her head. "Their brothers. Let them fight." Just as soon as she said it she regretted it. Cyclops used even more power, sending Havok back and hitting a tree. Havok slumped to the ground unmoving.

Rogue blinked once, an optic blast coming from her eyes. She hit Cyclops square in the back. He hit a tree and slumped to the ground next to his brother.

An object flew from the bushes opposite from Rogue, Iceman and Cannonball. Rogue looked at her feet where the object landed.

Cannonball looked puzzled. "It's a card." He stated.

Rogue froze, as the card went from pink to bright red. "Get away from it!" She screamed. She took off, using Quicksilver's speed. It wasn't fast enough. An explosion came from the card as she ducked, hands over her head.

After a minute she lifted her head to see Cannonball and Iceman, bleeding slightly, but not gravely injured. They were of course unconscious. Rogue gave a silent prayer of thanks for having Logan's healing factor, which kept her in the session.

A twig snapped from the bushes behind Rogue, she got up and ran to the closest tree. She hauled herself into it. Hiding among the leaves and branches. She parted some leaves to look down. As she suspected, Gambit walked out of the bushes, an arrogant grin on his face.

He pulled out his communicator. "Remy got Popsicle and the young kid out." He said in his Cajun accent, pride in his voice. He put his communicator on his belt loop. "I heard you chere. Come out. Remy knows you're there somewhere." Gambit pulled out his bo-staff.

Rogue scarcely breathed as Gambit looked around for her. After a while he walked away. "She must have got away." He muttered.

When Rogue was sure he was gone, she let out a sigh of relief, which turned into a squeal as she fell out of the tree. She landed on her stomach winded. "Ouch!" She gasped.

She moaned with annoyance when she bushes trembled behind her. "Damn it!" She hissed, moving into a sitting position. A moment later she relaxed when she saw it was Wolverine.

"Hey, you alright, kid?" He asked.

She nodded. "Yah. I'm fine."

He looked around, frustrated. "Apparently Mirage is out. But so is Psylocke."

A voice cried out over there communicators. "Ah! They just got Jubilee!"

Wolverine grabbed his. "Red! Meet us back at the place we started. We need a plan." He grumbled.

Wolverine sat next to Rogue, his back resting against the tree she had fallen out of. After waiting about five minutes, Phoenix walked up to them. "Why do we need a plan?" She asked curiously.

Wolverine gave her a death glare. "A plan might be useful, considering, we're the only ones left on our team, and they still have five people."
