Disclaimer - I only own my brain wish has the ideas about things I stole from other creators. Got it?
Authors Note: Hey everyone! Still with me? I apologise about the colossal delay with getting this story out to you! I do love it so rest assured I will make an effort to get the last 8 or so chapters out to you before the end of the year!! (Or at least the end of next year! Just realised I've been writing this thing for Almost 5 years!!)
Anyhoo.... on with the story (FINALLY! I hear you say!)
Quick Recap - Hellfire have abducted the majority of the X-men and are keeping them locked in power-proof cells using the power negating rock they stole to power their technology. Prof X has been put in stasis (like when Mystique switched him with Juggernaut in the show). Logan, Storm, Jean, Kitty, Bobby, Kurt, Betsy and Tabby are all that's left of team X. Magneto is coming back to help them while Lance and the Brotherhood lead the charge to rescue the others but especially Arianna, Shelley and Tom. Lance thinks they are being mistreated by Gage, which they are. Oh yeah, and Scott's been stranded on top of the Statue of Liberty! The Brotherhood and the remaining X-men plan their rescue attempt as they wait for Magneto and Co. to show up with reinforcements.....
I recommend you give the last 2 chapters capture and powerless a quick re-read, just so you remember the story a bit more when the next chapters start hitting your inbox!!

"I don't like this one bit." Growled Logan. "And I don't just mean the smell…"
"Smells OK to me." Said Toad
"Why doesn't that surprise me?" sighed Betsy
"Perhaps the unexpected will indeed be more effective on this occasion." Countered Storm
"It's ridiculous! How do we even know they're in there?" Asked Logan. "Jean couldn't find a trace of them on Cerebro. For all we know, this is a trap! We should infiltrate properly!"
"Yeah well, Red's busy finding loverboy and we have better things to do!" said Pietro. "Besides, they'll never see this coming!"
"It's the best idea we have to get everyone in quickly." Said Lance. "We don't have time to do this properly."
"Shouldn't we vait for Magneto at least?" asked Kurt incredulously. He didn't think much of this plan either.
"I don't care what we do as long as we get out of this stinkin' place soon!" moaned Tabby
"I'm with her" said Bobby, one hand covering his nose
Lance stared through the ornate, wrought iron gates of the Hellfire Clubs New York mansion. From the large alley in which they were hiding he had a pretty good view of the place and tried not to think about what could be happening to his family within those walls. There was no way he was waiting around. He turned towards Kitty. "Ready?"
Kitty nodded her head "Yep!"
Lance turned towards Wanda and smiled. "Then let's do this Brotherhood style. Floor it!"
Wanda cackled as she turned on the ignition and the truck they had 'borrowed' roared into life. She slammed her foot on the accelerator and pushed it down as far as it would go.
The guards standing outside the gates to Hellfire's mansion barely had time to run out of the way, as a 50 tonne garbage truck hurtled through the gates, smashing them to pieces as it barrelled through, picking up pace as it sped towards its destination: the mansion.
Short and sweet I know! But never fear, I have the next chap all written up and I shall post it as soon as its proof read so you can hear all about the drama, drama, drama!
Review if you wish, be great to know if any of you are still reading!
