Magneto sat in his office trying to read a book. But Ororo kept coming back to his mind. #I hope she's okay….that she's not taking this to hard…..what am I saying? Of course she's taking this hard…..She'll never want to talk to me or Victor again….I wonder what victor is doing?# he looked to a clock#….It's about 7:00. Where could he be?#
**
Victor stood outside of the X-men's Mansion. Wondering if he should go and see Ororo, #things could go bad. I could get another lightening bolt to Me.#, he decided to do it. He survived a lot, he could handle this. #what I can't handle….is if she hates Me.#
**
Jean sat on a bench outside. #where is she?#, Jean wondered, having not tried to search for Ororo via the mind. #not after what happened this morning….why is she so upset with me?#. Suddenly, a twig snapped behind her, disturbing her thoughts.
"Jean?"
Jean smiled, "Yes Scott?"
"What are you doing all by yourself out here?"
"I….needed to be away…I don't get it Scott! I mean, why doesn't she want to speak to me? Why is Logan avoiding me?"
"I don't know about Ororo Jean," he went and sat down next to her. "But I think Logan is avoiding everyone."
"You know, I was first attracted to him, because…well, I don't know why. There was just something about him! And know, after I've gotten to know him….I'm just so upset, that I let what we had….get away."
"Jean? I love you, I always have. I mean, it hurt, when I realized that you wanted Logan. But I've never stopped loving you"
"I've never stopped loving you either Scott…….could…you ever ….take me back?"
"I want to Jean, I want to. But what's going to happen, when you find another Logan?"
"I'll remember what happened this time. And I'll realize, we have something that can't be broken."
Scott sighed. "It will take sometime Jean," He pulled her into her arms.
Jean broke into tears, "I know" she pulled him closer to her. "God, I know."
**
Mystique was smiling, "So, your telling us, that Vic and Magneto made you believe you were a member of the brotherhood? And married to Victor? Damn! Good thing I was here, I'd probably have blown it!"
"Mystique, there's more, Well, when the X-men, came to save me. Lici got hurt."
A scrambling noise came from Toad's cell. "What? How?"
Mystique looked back at Ororo, "How bad was she hurt?", Ororo looked away from Mystique,. Mystique saw the tears on Ororo's face and said, "Fuck", tears forming in her eyes.
"What? Is she okay? Where is she?", Toad asked, his cell preventing him from seeing Ororo and Mystique.
Ororo began to say something, but Mystique interrupted her. "Toad….Lici, she didn't make it.", there was silence. Mystique called out louder. "Toad?"
There was silence, suddenly, there was a crashing noise from his cell, "FUCK!", he yelled, kicking the things in his cell around. "FUCK!" .
Ororo turned to Mystique who was wiping the few tears she cried away from her face. She whispered, "I'm so sorry, I didn't realize just how well he and her were connected."
"Yeah….they were together for about 2 years. Lici and him broke it off, they had begun to fight all the time…I don't think either of them ever got over it."
Ororo thought back to one of the conversations she and Lici had had. Ororo had asked Lici if she had ever loved someone as much as Ororo loved Victor. Lici had said, "Once….When I see him again. I'm going to ask him to take me back. I've been miserable with out him….", Ororo knew it was Toad Lici had been talking about.
The crashing noises began to cease, it was soon silent. "How did she die? Was it quick or was she in pain?", Toad asked.
1 Mystique mouthed the words, "Don't lie to him"
"….Wolverine, stabbed her….she had gone ahead and didn't wait for me and Victor, it took about 15 minutes for her to die. I was trying to get her to hold on. But she had lost so much blood…..it wasn't possible."
"Fuck…..I should have been there. We both should have been Mystique."
"I know,"
Ororo said, "well, it only happened yesterday, maybe Victor and Magneto haven't buried her yet……Maybe you could still say good bye."
"Yeah? And how are we supposed to do that? As you can see we are kind of stuck here." Mystique said, she then gave Ororo a look, "Are you saying you woul-"
"If, I do, you have to swear you will not harm anyone, on your way out, and just to be sure you don't, I will escort you.", #what are you doing?# Ororo's mind asked her.
"Storm, you'd do that for us?"
"I'd do it for Lici, Now, do we have a deal?"
"Yes", the two captives said in unison.
"Alright, let me find the key"
**
Logan was in the rec room. He had been aimlessly carrying round in there ever since he brought Ororo to her room. He needed to get some sleep, but his instinct was telling him to do otherwise. He knew why Ororo didn't want to talk to Jean. #Who would want to?#. But what he didn't understand was why Ororo realized just how badly Jean treated her. #They must have done something to her. But what?#. He looked out one of the windows in thought. He turned back around and began to head over to the pool table when he realized he had seen something move out there. He went over to the light and turned it off. Looking out the window, he wondered what it was he saw. He couldn't see very well to the sides. Slowly he opened the window and leaned his head out. He looked around for a few minutes and began to pull his head back in, when a scent stopped him.
"Sabretooth"
**
Ororo searched around the room, hoping to find a key or something to open the doors. Opening a drawer she gasped, in the drawer were her earrings and her "wedding" ring. Quickly, she grabbed the earrings and put them on. She went to grab the ring, hesitated, and the put it in her pocket. Closing the drawer she saw a key card next to one of the sinks. She grabbed it, and tried it in the slot next to Toad's cell. Suddenly, a buzzer went off.
"Oh Shit!", whispered Ororo, she realized she was going to have to get out of the Lab, but for some reason she didn't want to leave Mystique and Toad. Concentrating, she put her hand on the slot. A small jolt of electricity came from her hands. She shorted out the doors, but now she was in pitch black.
"Thanks storm, But now how the hell are we supposed to get out of the Lab?", Mystique said as she stepped out of her cell.
Toad came out of his cell and said, "Shit, "
"It's alright, the basement has tunnels leading out from it. We just need to find out way though the dark."
Mystique said, "Why are you doing so much to help us Storm? You could have let us sit here and instead, you risked getting caught for us. Why?"
"Honestly Mystique? I have no idea, for some reason, I couldn't leave you here."
"I really don't care, but we gotta be outta here before the rest of the X- men find us down here.",
"Let me see if I can find a light.", she had seen a flashlight in the drawer, she just needed a way to get over to that spot. With her hands out spread, Ororo made her way back to where she thought the drawer was. She hit a counter and felt her way along that. #Come on# she thought.. Picking a random drawer, Ororo felt inside, amazingly, it was the drawer she need, "Got the Light!"
"Well, then, Come on!", Toad yelled.
**
Logan was just about to step outside, when all of the lights in the house went off, "Shit" he said, but he continued on. #I'm going to kill that blond bastard!. What type of person would do that to someone?#, he thought to himself. Just then he got a strong whiff of Sabretooth's scent. He followed it, he soon came to one of the side doors. It was swinging wide open. Logan released his claws and wet in.
"Hey!', a voice came from behind him. Logan turned around and was face to face with Sabretooth.
"Smooth, but you should have just hit me from behind."
"Nah, I don't fight like a pussy"
"Really? Aren't you the one named after a cat?"
"Original Runt, very Original, now let's end this."
"Fine by me!", With that Logan marched towards Sabretooth.
**
Ororo had led the two to one of the doors that led out into the garden. "Come on!" she said, opening the door, she and the other two headed out into the world.
They walked a few minutes when Toad asked Ororo, "Did you and Lici become close?"
Ororo kept walking and sighed, "I thought Lici was a sister to me. She told me all of these stories how me, her and Mystique would go and do stuff and things like, my wedding, how Mystique was my maid of honor and she was a bridesmaid. I had come to hate the X-men. I thought they had destroyed my life, and captured two of my best friends."
"How do you feel about the X-men now?", Mystique asked.
"I don't know, a part of me….loves them, the other part…. I shouldn't be talking to you two about this.", Ororo cleared her throat and began to walk faster.
Mystique and Toad exchanged a look., but kept walking silently.
**
"Had enough runt?", Sabretooth asked Logan, who he had just thrown in to a tree.
Logan rolled over onto his back, Logan jumped to his feet, and sliced Victor in his face. and said, "I haven't even started yet!",
"Aagh!", Sabretooth recoiled.
**
"What was that?", Jean asked Scott, the two had been so involved with each other they hadn't noticed the power going out.
"I don't know, Look! The house is all black!", Scott stood up and turned around, "I wonder when that happened"
"Something's not right," Jean stood up. "Listen, don't you hear that?"
The two stayed quiet, soon, the sound of grunts and heavy breathing were floating their way." Come on Jean!". The pair ran towards the noises, soon they came upon a sight, Logan was on Sabretooth's back, the bigger man was slamming Logan into the building. He then grabbed Logan's arms, flipping him off of his back.
Scott aimed and was about to hit Sabretooth in the chest, when something slammed into the back of his knee. He looked up to find Mystique looking at him. She kicked him in the face for good measure. Mean while Toad had snuck up on Logan, he had the man wrapped up with his tongue, him arms useless.
"How the fuck did you two get out?", Logan asked from the ground.
"We had a little help, now we promised out help, that no harm would come to you. So, we are going to go. Come on Vic!"
Victor wanted to kill Logan, but something about the sound of Mystique's voice made him start to leave.
Toad unwrapped his tongue from around Logan's body and said, "I know you were the one who killed Earthling, and one day, I'm going to make you pay."
The three X-men watched as the three member's of the Brotherhood. Walked away. Victor turned back once, but Mystique grabbed his arm.
As soon as they were out of sight Logan turned to Scott, "Cyke, did you tell them I killed that plant girl?"
"No."
"Did you Jean?"
"No Logan."
"Well, then who the hell did?"
