~Walls of Stone, Cages of Metal-part 3~

Rogue awoke from what seemed as her endless sleep. Ajusting herself into an upright position she looked around the tiny room or more cell she sat in. The pale, white stone walls where bleek and forbidding while strong steel bars closed off the door and window. She shuddered.

The bare stone walls reminded her of a restricting cage traping her in a strange land. Still retaining quite a few of Logan's personality traits even after the four years they had been seperated she could feel tension gathering in her gut. All she could think was that she hated cages.

Walking quietly and cautiously over to the steel bars she placed her gloved hands on the metal. A shock rang through her bones and she felt as if her very bones were being torn from her body with the pain. Unwillingly she let out a scream and stumbled back to the cot that was serving as her makeshift bed.

"I see you've found out that your cell bars are electric," An icy voice commented. Her head snapped up to face the smiling form of Magneto flanked by Mystique and Sabertooth. Noticing her shocked face he smirked, " Your petty friends thought they could kill us, trap us, destroy us. Oh how wrong they were," his cold laugh peirced through the chilly air.

"What are you going to do with me,"Rogue asked trying to keep the fear out of her voice. The attempt was unsuccessful. She hated how weak she sounded. She edged further away from the smirking man.

"Let's just say I'm here to return a favor,"

"Alright, listen up! We need to split up to cover more ground. Jean I need you to try and get a reading on her. Wolverine you try to find her scent, Storm, Shadowcat, Ice-man and Jubes you come with me to do a ground search. Everyone meet back here as soon as possible," Cyclops, once finished giving orders walked off to conduct his part of the search followed by the three students in training and Storm.

Wolverine walked away a bit from the rest of the group and smelled the harsh wind that was beginning to stir. It held the scents of a soon coming storm, which he could see building on the horizon. He had a sneaking suspition that Ororo had something to do with it.

Moving to the east alittle he tried to catch another wind or breeze. There. He had one. It also told of the large storm to come but more importantly it held HER scent. Sniffing agian he knew he was right. He knew he couldn't be wrong. Never could her forget that strange but bueatiful mix of Marie and lavender shampoo. He growled under his breath also mixed with Marie's scent was the unmistakable smell of fear.

Logan knew he should go back and tell Scott and the others what he had found about Marie and he almost started too. But another part of his mind argued that she was "his" Marie and that it was his duty to go and find her. Hadn't he promised her that he would protect her? What a bang ass job he was doing.So fighting all his better judment he set off east towards her lingering scent.
