Rebel chp5


When Rebel woke up her head was throbbing and she tried to sit up but discovered that her hands were being held down. She was on a cold table and there were metal shackles on her wrists and ankles. Her eyes slowly adjusted to the dimly lit area and she looked around. She was in an old cave that looked like a make-shift prison. She heard a low growl and sniffed the air to see if anyone else was there. She smelled that cat-like scent of her kid-napper just like in her bed room. She sighed and called out, "Why don't you show yourself, I already know yer there!"

Sabertooth slowly emerged from the shadows. The humungous mutant stood there, looming over her where she was being held down. He didn't say a word, just stared at Rebel and then he raised his hand so that his sharp claws were shining in the dim light.

Rebel grew angry and impatient. "Who the hell are you?!" She snarled at him.

"Careful there shrimp, I'm sure Wolverine wouldn't want to hear you mouthing off like that." He replied with an eerily calm voice.

Rebel gasped and realized who she was dealing with. She remembered one time, Logan telling her about a grotesque associate of his from long ago by the name of Sabertooth. He told her he was a ruthless killer and he and Wolverine had been duking it out for years. "I know who are,..Sabertooth!"

Sabertooth just grinned evilly. "So the runt told ya 'bout me huh? Well I'm after him not you,...for now."

"What do you want me for then?!"

Sabertooth leaned over her and lifted her chin slightly with his claw. "Bait."



Meanwhile Logan was hot on Sabertooth's heals. The scent was getting stronger and it headed into the woods. There was a long dirt path so he didn't have to get off his motorcycle. He stopped before going down the path and pulled out his com-link. "Hey Chuck, it's Wolverine, ya there??"
There was a bit of static, then the Professors voice, "Yes Logan, I'm here, have you found them yet??"

"Yeah, I'm about a couple o' miles from the mansion into the woods, there's a path up here an' I figure they must be down there cuz the scent is gettin' stronger."

"Alright Logan, I've got your coordinates. Do you need assistance."

Logan grunted, "Nah, I got it from here, I'll call you back on my com-link if I run inta more trouble,...Logan out." With that he turned off the radio so the Prof. couldn't object to his decision in the rescue.



Inside the cave Rebel was planning for an escape. She new Logan would come to rescue her, but then she didn't want Sabertooth going after him. She tried to stay calm and kept an eye on Sabertooth. He got up from sitting on a rock in the cave and sniffed at the air. " 'Bout time Wolverine." He walked out of the cave and stood in the entrance.

Rebel knew that Logan was close because she could smell him too. She let loose her claws and tried rubbing them against the table. Since her wrists were shackled, she couldn't cut the metal where they were. She was able flip her hands so they were laying palm up against the table, she could also move her wrists back and forth slightly and her claws began to make tiny grooves in the table. Rebel figured eventually the grooves would get big enough so that she could slide her hands out of the shackles.


As Logan got closer and closer to the cave, he knew Sabertooth was waiting for him. He knew Sabertooth was probably after him the whole time, but why'd he hafta get this kid in this mess. He prayed Sabertooth didn't touch her, if he hurt her in any way Logan was gonna rip his damn lungs out, hell he might just rip his lungs out anyway. Logan got off of his bike when the cave was in sight. He trudged carefully towards the cave. All the time that had passed since they discovered Rebel had been abducted, it was already starting to get dark again. Besides they were in the woods so it would be darker there first anyway. Sabertooth's scent was so intense he could barely stand it, it made him angry and blind with rage just thinking of what Sabertooth probably did to capture Rebel.

All of a sudden Sabertooth came bounding out of the woods, stopping yards away from Wolverine. Logan growled out, "Where's the kid Creed?!!"

"She's in there," He said turning his head towards the cave. "Don't worry Logan, she's alright...for now."

That was enough for Logan to get enraged enough to attack. He jumped at Sabertooth who jumped at him at the same time. They fought fiercely punching and slashing and throwing eachother numerous times.

In the cave, Rebel had finally cut enough grooves into the table so that she could slip her hands out of the shackles. When her hands were free she sat up and cut at the metal around her ankles. Rebel could hear Wolverine and Sabertooth fighting outside and she knew she'd have to do something about it. She wasn't going to let Sabertooth tear Logan to shreds, although Logan might do that to Sabertooth. She knew Wolverine could take care of himself but she figured a little help couldn't hurt, and besides she wouldn't want to miss all the fun. When she got out of the cave Logan was getting back to his feet from just getting thrown. She ran at full speed toward Sabertooth who's back was to her, and jumped up on his back. She popped her claws and sank them deep into his shoulder blade, blood pouring from the wound as she ripped deeper into his flesh. He howled out in pain and Logan just noticed Rebel on Sabertooth's back. Logan saw Sabertooth reaching his arm to his back and yelled to Rebel. "Rebel jump down quick! Watch out fer his hand!!"

Logan jumped toward them to get Rebel to safety but it was too late. Sabertooth backhanded her into the side of the cave wall. She was hit hard and Sabertooth's claw scratched across her arm when she was flung. "That kid was really tickin' me off!"

"Ya shouldn't have done that bub!!" Wolverine became so enraged now that he didn't care what he'd have to do, he was going to make Sabertooth pay.

He ran towards Sabertooth, tackling him to the ground. He roared out as Logan pounded on him with his claws. Sabertooth got his feet under Logan at his stomach and kicked him backwards. When Wolverine got to his feet Sabertooth was already set to attack. He reached out and clawed Logan across the face. Wolverine spat out the blood from his lip and jump-kicked Sabertooth in the jaw. When he was finally out cold Logan staggered towards Sabertooth and got in one last kick in his ribs.

Logan wiped the blood off his face with the sleeve of his shirt and then ran over to Rebel who was still unconscious on the ground near the cave. He looked at her arm which was bleeding pretty badly and ripped off a piece from his shirt to cover the wound. He picked her up, gently cradling her in his arms and started walking to his bike. Sabertooth would be up soon so he had to get them out of there fast. Logan pulled out his com-link and decided he might need some assistance now. "Wolverine to base, anyone there??!"
After a few seconds and more static, a familiar voice answered back. "Logan, it's Professor Xavier, is everything alright?? Did you get Rebel back?"

Logan grunted and replied, "Yeah, I got her but I need some help gettin' back."

The Professor was getting concerned, "Is she alright??"

"She hit her head pretty hard and she's got a deep gash in her arm, but other than that she's ok."

"Alright, I'll send Ororo and Scott with the X-Jet to pick you up."

"Okay, we'll be waitin', Logan out." He shut his com-link and put it back in his pocket. Then he carefully carried her, while pushing his bike, to a clearing where the jet could land.

A short while later the X-Jet came to pick them up. Logan thought Sabertooth would have already gotten up by then, but probably didn't bother going after them. Cyclops came out of the jet to see if they needed help getting in, but as tired as he was Logan wasn't going to let Rebel out of his arms. He told Scott to get his motorcycle as they got in the jet. Inside the jet Ororo was helping to clean up Rebel's arm while Logan held her. Storm tried to calm Logan who looked very worried. "Don't worry Logan, she'll be fine. All she needs is a couple of stitches and some bed rest." She smiled at him and he looked up and cracked a half-smile.


When they reached the institute the Prof. was waiting in the infirmary with Beast. It was around 9:00 p.m. and all of the students were sitting in the rec. room waiting to hear what happened. Logan brought Rebel in the med-lab and carefully put her on one of the beds. Beast started cleaning her arm and stitching it up while the Professor talked to Logan who was standing next to the bed. "She's fine Logan, she'll just need to rest."

Logan nodded without looking at him.

The Professor looked at him curiously. "Are you alright?"

Logan came out of his daze and stared at the Prof. "Huh?..Yeah I'm fine, just a little tired."

The wounds Logan had received that night had all healed by now and he looked perfectly fine, despite being tired. When Beast was done with Rebel the Prof. told Logan to get some rest and he and Beast left the med-lab. Logan sat down on the bed next to Rebel's and just stared at her. Ororo came in with some food and clothes. "Logan, I brought you some clean clothes and something to eat." She handed him the clothes and when he didn't take the plate of food she set it down on the bedside table.

"Thanks 'Ro." He got up then went in the bathroom to clean up a little and change.

Storm looked at him and saw that he looked depressed and sad. "Logan, what is bothering you? You know she is going to be fine."

Logan sat back down and sighed. "Yeah I know, It's just that,..well it's my fault she was there, and it's my fault she got hurt!"

"It isn't your fault, how would you know if Sabertooth was going after her??"

"He was after me." Logan paused, and then didn't say anything else.

Storm said goodnight then patted him on the shoulder and walked out.


Logan stayed in the infirmary and eventually fell asleep on the bed next to Rebel's. Later that night Rebel woke and carefully sat up. She had a hell of a headache and her arm was sore. She remembered what happened and looked around for Logan. She was afraid something might have happened to him while they were fighting Sabertooth. He was lying there next to her bed asleep. She watched him as he began to stir and then he woke up. He turned his head noticing Rebel was awake and sat up in the bed with his feet hanging over the side so that he was facing her. He just stared for a moment until Rebel spoke up. "Hey,..you okay??"

At first Logan was surprised, the first words that came out of her mouth were to ask if he was ok. "Yeah, I'm okay squirt, are you okay?"

She smiled at him and nodded. Then she looked around confused. "What happened to Sabertooth? Did you kill him?"

Logan looked down, "Nah, he'll just be hurtin' a little bit."

"Man, that guy was a creep!" She said shivering slightly.

Logan chuckled at her comment and nodded in agreement.

"You look tired Wolvie."

Logan smiled at her use of his nickname and replied, "Yeah, I am tired. You look tired too."

She smiled back at him and rubbed the back of her head. "I guess we should try an' get s'more sleep than huh??"

Logan got up and pulled Rebel's blanket up for her and then got into his bed. They lay there talking for a little while until Rebel fell asleep. Even then Logan still lay awake just watching her sleep like he was her guardian angel. Then his eyelids began getting heavy and he couldn't keep his eyes open anymore so he just fell back asleep.


In the morning Logan got up later than usual but Rebel was still fast asleep, he took his shower and got dressed and then came back in the med-lab to see if she was awake yet. She was still sleeping so he decided to wait until she got up. He sat at the edge of her bed and kept a watchful eye over her. Around 8:30a.m. Rebel finally started to wake up. Logan nudged her leg and she opened her eyes. "Mornin'."

"Hey kid." He grumbled softly, then stepped back allowing her to get up.

She smiled then left to take her shower and got dressed. When she got back in the room Logan was still there, waiting for her in a chair next to the bed. "Let's go get some breakfast."
Rebel agreed and started heading down the hallway to the stairs, keeping close to Logan. She was going to slide down the railing but remembered about her stitches and figured somehow she'd probably manage to pop a stitch, so she just walked down the stairs instead.

When they got in the kitchen everyone was already eating since her and Logan had come down late. Rebel grabbed a plate and started piling on food. She was glad that no one stared at her because of the other night, she didn't feel much like talking about it. Logan sat down next to her and they ate their breakfast while the other students carried out their usual conversations.

After breakfast the students were having a training session with Storm and Wolverine in the woods behind the mansion. When everyone was finished putting on their X-Man uniforms, the students started walking outside. Kitty ran up to Rebel and started talking to her. "Hey Rebel, wait up!"
Rebel stopped walking and turned around to face Kitty, expecting a billion questions about what happened when she was kid-napped. "Uhh hey Kitty."

"So like are you okay? I heard that you got hurt the other night fighting Sabertooth."

Rebel sighed, no wonder no one asked her any questions at breakfast, they were probably all afraid Logan would get mad at them. They were right though, he would protect Rebel from all their questions because he knew she wouldn't feel like talking about it. That was why she trusted him and he was kinda like her father, they understood eachother. "Yeah, I'm fine I just, uhh..I hit my head and scratched my arm, and I had ta get a few stitches."

"Ouch! I hate stitches. I can't believe you like, went after Sabertooth, he's totally creepy!" Kitty said making a face.

"Eh,..he is pretty creepy, but it was no big deal. It was kinda fun, a little scary but exciting! And besides, Logan really kicked his butt after!"

"You're crazy! I like, would never wanna hafta fight Sabertooth!"

"Well he did tick me off! What a jerk! That bastard kid-napped me to go after Logan, and he was probably gonna kill me too if Logan didn't get there. Even though I got out of the shackles I would've never been able to fight Sabertooth or even escape from him by myself."

Kitty quivered and continued walking. "Whoa, that's like so freaky ya know?!"

Rebel looked down at her feet while she walked. "Yeah, pretty freaky." She said quietly to herself so Kitty couldn't hear.


Rebel knew that Kitty was a gossip so she was hoping Kitty would tell the others what happened so she wouldn't have to repeat herself.

When they got to the edge of the woods where everyone was, Rebel walked over to a rock and sat down, waiting to be told what the training exercise was going to be.

Ororo looked at everyone. "Good morning everyone, today we'll be trying something a little different for our session."

Everyone sighed, expecting it to be very long and boring. Either that or very hard and tiring.

"Don't worry it's not what you think. You're going to play capture the flag."

Everyone looked up including Rebel.

Storm continued. "There will be two teams and Logan and I will each be on one of the teams." She looked over at Logan who was leaning against a tree. "Logan why don't you call out your team first."

He nodded and began to call out names. "Half-pint, Red and the Squirt, you're with me."

Scott rolled his eyes and thought, 'Yeah big surprise Rebel's on your team.'

Logan gave him a glare that made him cringe.

Scott was wondering if somehow he knew what he was thinking.

Storm began calling out her team-mates, though it was obviously the kids that were left. "Scott, Evan, Rogue and Kurt."


Logan gathered his team, "We already got the flags hidden so I'll tell where ours is an' one o' you is gonna be keepin' guard while the rest of us go an' look fer their flag."

Kitty, Jean and Rebel all nodded. "I'll be the guard." Jean said. Wolverine then told her where the flag was and she went to go guard it.

Kitty and Rebel stayed with Wolverine. "Hey, Wolvie so where'd ya put the flag??" Rebel asked curiously.

He smirked then looked at her and Kitty. "It's under the divin' board by the pool."

Rebel and Kitty nodded, then left with Wolverine to the other side of the property to find Storm's team's flag. When they got into the woods Logan and Rebel sniffed around trying to check if anyone was close by. When they concluded that no one was there Wolverine said that they'd better split up. Kitty and Rebel took off in separate directions and Wolverine left near Rebel but not close enough that she could smell him. He was going to keep an eye on her just to make sure she was alright, she did still have the stitches in and her arm was probably sore.

Rebel crept slowly into a clearing in the woods. She heard a twig snap and spun around. Scott was definitely close by, she could smell him and so could Wolverine. He saw Scott come out of the woods trying to sneak up on Rebel. He was about to go after him but just when Scott was about to reach her she turned and went after him, tackling him to the ground. She stared at him and smirked. She stuck out her tongue when she got up and he made a face. "Tag!" She yelled. He got up, brushing himself off and grumbled, "I was just taking it easy on you, 'cause you hurt your arm and everything."

Rebel growled and glared at him, her cool eyes sending shivers down his spine. "You know what?! If you were taking it easy on me then yer dumber than I thought!"

He blinked away from her gaze and then said, "I just didn't want to hurt you is all."

She curled her lip into a devilish grin. "Don't worry 'bout me gettin' hurt Scooter, you wouldn't treat your enemies like that now would ya?!"

Rebel was really getting on Scotts last nerve and she knew it, she was just trying to get him to fight her fair.

All this time Logan was hiding, carefully keeping an eye on them. He was about to pounce out of there and beat Scott to a bloody pulp, and found that Rebel was very capable of handling herself. But if Scott laid a hand on her he was gonna rip him apart and donate all of his organs. This was a very interesting argument they were having and he was proud of Rebel for fighting with Scott, he even chuckled a little when she tackled him.

Scott began making his way back to the mansion when Rebel called after him. "Hey Cyclops! I won't tell anyone I already tagged you if you finish playin' the game and don't take it easy on anyone."

Scott turned and kinda smiled a little, "Yeah okay."

Rebel let him go and then mumbled something about him being a self-absorbed ego-maniac when he got too far to hear.

Logan heard it and started laughing, coming out of the woods.

Rebel turned. "Hey, did ya get anyone yet??"

Logan smiled. "Nope, I see ya let that one get away." he said jerking his chin in the direction Scott had left.

Rebel raised her eyebrows. "Yeah, ya saw that huh??" Logan nodded. "Eh, he's just a jerk, I know he wasn't really takin' it easy on me. Did you see the concentration in his eyes when he tried to jump me?"
They both laughed and agreed that they should go find Kitty and the flag before anyone was caught.

When they got to the edge of the woods where the cliff went down to the water, they smelled Kitty. They also smelled Nightcrawler, Spyke and Rogue close to her. Wolverine stopped in his tracks and looked at Rebel. "Wait a sec. squirt, I got a plan."

Rebel turned toward him and shrugged her shoulders. "Okay then what is it?"

"If Elf, Porcupine and Rogue are goin' after Kitty, then that means Storm's guardin' the flag since One Eye certainly wasn't." He stopped.

"Yeah so...?" Rebel questioned.

"Lemme finish,..so how 'bout you go help Kitty an' distract 'em and I go after Storm an' the flag. Then when you two tag 'em or get away from 'em, you can meet me near the flag."

"How will we know where their flag is??"

Logan looked behind him toward the mansion. "Just follow my scent. I'm gonna follow Storm's ta find it anyway."

Rebel nodded and Logan took off to find Storm. When Logan was gone she turned to where Kitty was and started to hunt for Kurt, Spyke and Rogue. She spied Kurt hiding in a tree. She crept up right near the base of the tree and sneakily made her way up. When she tagged him he nearly fell out of the tree. 'That was way too easy!' She thought, she'd never have gotten him if he noticed her because he could've 'ported out of the way.

Kurt glared at her, upset that he hadn't seen or heard her. "Oh weak man! You're really good! I can't believe I didn't see you!"

Rebel smiled and pointed for Kurt to go back to the mansion where the 'jail' was. He *BAMFED* away and Rebel started sniffing her way toward Rogue since she didn't smell Spyke close enough.

Kitty was looking around nervously. She knew someone was near her and she really didn't want to get tagged. All of a sudden Spyke sprang from the trees and Kitty turned quickly, then phased right through him. He fell to the ground and she looked at him sadly. "Uh sorry Spyke, 'tag'." She tapped him on the shoulder and he slowly got up.

"Dude I'm tagged already!? Oh this sucks! But I was so close to catching you!" Spyke said disappointedly. He turned around and headed for the mansion.

Rebel came running out of the woods and Kitty got scared so she screamed.

"Ahhh! Like where the hell did you come from?!"

"I just caught Kurt and now I'm lookin' fer Rogue, I can smell her she's close. They were all gonna ambush you!" Rebel explained, partially out of breath.

"Whoa, like where's Wolverine?" Kitty asked, still a little surprised.

"He went to get the flag, but-"

Rebel was cut off as Rogue came running out of no where, and started diving towards Rebel. Kitty screamed and dove out of the way. Rebel stepped back and slipped on the ground right over the cliff! Rogue missed and hit the ground. Her and Kitty got up and yelled, "Rebel!!!"
