A new friend
Rogue struggled and kicked around to fight him off. She sat in a room, without windows and doors. He came closer again, in his hand a syringe.
"Hold still bitch!" He yelled and grabbed her arm. Suddenly the other one came in. "Greg!" The man turned around and Rogue escaped into a corner, sobbing.
"Was is it Dan. I don't have time for your stuff", he muttered. "Let .. let me do it. I'll try it okay", his brother said nervously.
He laughed. "All right. Try it.. I'll be back in a few minutes. If you'll fail, I'm going to hurt her", he assumed and left the room.
Dan stepped closer to Rogue. He held up his hands. "Hey! My name's Dan. What's yours"?
She whipped her tears away and looked at him. He smiled at her in a trustworthy way. "Rogue", she whispered.
He nodded and kneeled down. "Listen. I don't want to hurt you, okay? I just need a sample of your blood. The sooner you let me take it, the sooner you'll be free again".
She shivered. "Why? What do you want from me"?
"We try to find a way, to heal you from your mutation", he answered. His heart pounded in his chest because he knew it was a lie. He watched her and he felt more and more guilty for what he was doing to her.
She nodded and stretched out her arm. He sighed relieved and did it. She sniffed. "Who's the other guy"?
He sat down beside her. "That's Greg, my brother".
"He isn't that nice", she said and hugged her knees.
"But he is. He's just nervous, that's all. Just.. just do whatever he want or.. or he hurts you, okay? He's okay but he has problems, ya know? He can't handle his hate and anger", he said and sighed.
She nodded and leaned against the wall. She wanted to go back. She wanted to be home. Even if Logan was there, the man that broke her heart into pieces. She was scared after all but was relieved they doesn't seem to kill her. And Dan was really lovely to her. He wouldn't hurt her.
Dan looked at her big brown eyes. He could see her fear but also Hope. And he felt worse than ever. She was so sweet and beautiful, she didn't deserve to die. Then Greg appeared.
"Making friends Mutie? No need to.. you'll be dead in less than two days", he yelled and dragged Dan out of the room.
Rogue jumped up, her face pale and full of fear. She looked to Dan. "You liar! You told me I would be free in a few days. You said you don't want to hurt me". She ran to the closed door. Dan looked through the glass. She pounded against the glass. "Let me out! Let me go"!
She felt to the floor crying and sobbing. Greg snored and went away but Dan didn't move. He watched her and leaned his head against the door. "I'm sorry", he whispered.
Logan looked out of the window. He hadn't moved since an hour. Storm and Scott tried to comfort him without success. He couldn't feel anything but fear. Fear for Rogue.
Jean was with the professor, using Cerebro to find her. Scott sat in a chair, his head buried in his hands. "I'm sorry Logan. I'm so sorry".
Logan turned around for the first time. He looked at Scott and noticed a small tear on his cheek.
He sighed. "It's not your fault." Scott nodded.
"We'll get her back. She will be okay. You two will be together again."
"Yeah.. sure", he muttered and went to the window again. All he could think of what he did and said the last time he'd seen her. He wished he just could take it back. He didn't believed in what Scott and all the others said. Nobody knew where Rogue was hidden. She was lost without a trace.
Dan and Greg watched him as he wandered around the room. "So, how much time till you can test it"?
Greg cleared his throat and stepped forward. "I think one or two days more Sir."
Dan sighed and sat down. "You want to see her Mister Jackson?"
Jackson whirled around, ashen and nervous. He had panic written all over the face. "No! It's bad enough I have to kill a child. I don't want see it, knowing it'll be dead in a few days. I don't want to know anything about it, okay"?
The brothers nodded. Jackson looked at them and then he left the room without a word.
Dan turned to Greg. "Come on, we can't let her die. She's still a kid". His brother laughed and then he grabbed him by the collar.
"Yes, I'm going to kill her. Kid or not, beautiful or not. The stuff has to be tested before we can use it. And I warn you, if you help her to escape, I'll kill you. Brother or not. Copy that"?
Dan nodded. Greg dropped him down and left. He watched him leave, knowing that his brother went insane. He loved him but he also realized that he was crazy and sick, and that he even would kill him, his own brother. He looked to the door, where Rogue was. "I'm sorry brother".
Rogue sat in the corner, crying and sobbing. She would die, she really would die in a few days. She sniffed. She loved her life. Okay, a lot of bad things had happened to her in the past. She was a mutant, she couldn't touch and most of all Logan didn't love her back. Much things to be happy to die. But she didn't. She knew what she wanted to do in the future. She wanted to became a teacher at college or a politician. She wanted to change the world, into a better one.
But none of this would happen. She was trapped in this sucked room, with no help. No one knew where she was hidden. They probably would find her, but too late, that was for sure.
Suddenly the door was open. She saw Dan and glared at him heated. He held up his hands. She jumped up but he pointed a gun to her. She sat down again, knowing she had no chance.
He stepped closer. "Listen to me. I want to help you. I want to get you out of here. What my brother and his chef want to do isn't right and I'll have to prevent it. So, I'll take my gun away now. Please don't hurt me, I just want to talk", he said softly and threw the pistol away.
She smiled slightly, finally getting some hope. He kneeled beside her. "Hey how are you"? He asked trying to make conversation.
She grinned. "I just realized I'm going to die".
"That good, huh"? They laughed quietly.
She sighed and looked at him. "What is going on? Why do you really need me"?
Dan leaned against the wall. "Our chef, his name is Kevin Jackson. He has a gift but he isn't a mutant. He can see what the future holds. And he saw that there will be war in the future. War between Mutants and Humans. People are going to die, family will be ripped apart. He want to prevent it, to change the future".
"By killing me", she asked.
He shook his head. "No by killing every mutant on earth. Greg is a scientist. He have to create a poison that murder you all slowly and without anybody to notice."
She stared at him in shock. And then she realized. "So, I'm the guinea- pig, right?"
He nodded and she groaned. He softly touched her shoulder when he saw her feared eyes and the tears coming up. "That's not gonna happen. Tonight, when everybody is sleeping, I'll help you to escape."
She looked at him. "Thank you Dan", she said and he just hugged her tight.
Rogue struggled and kicked around to fight him off. She sat in a room, without windows and doors. He came closer again, in his hand a syringe.
