X-2

Alex looked to her left, then her right as she snuck around the back of the airport. She didn't see anyone, *good*. She tip-toed, closing in on the exit.

*Freedom*; "Hey! Hold it right there! Alex stopped and sighed as she closed her eyes. She turned around slowly and gave a nervous smile.

"What are you doing back here?" the speaker asked. Alex looked at the man and looked away for a closer exit. The man looked at the bag in her hand and got the picture.

"Hold it right there Missy." he said as he went to grab her. Alex yelped and pulled away fast enough before her could get her. Alex ran to her right, hoping she wasn't going to the lobby.

"Why me?" she asked as she ran as fast as she could, dragging her bag with her.

Logan opened the door slowly and peeked his head in to see Rogue there, flat on her stomach on the bed. She was in a pair of dark blue jeans with a white tank top under a dark green button up shirt. Her chocolate hair was up in a pony tail, it's loose tresses dangling over her shoulders.

Logan smiled as he took in the sweet sight that was Rogue.

"Mind if I waste your time?" he asked as he still stood up, excitement flowing through his veins.

Rogue smiled and nodded, "Anytime". Rogue sat up in Indian style and moved over, patting the bed spot next to her. Logan smiled and sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her.

"I got some good news and some bad." he said, watching her expression. Rogue's eyes turned from curiosity to confusion.

Logan looked away and took a deep breath, he could hardly wait for her reaction. "Well, wheels told me that you are…well…you can…No…wait". Logan looked away and lightly scratched his head as he thought a way to put the words.

Rogue giggled uncontrollably as she rolled over and almost off the bed; that is, Logan caught her before she kissed face.

"Thanks." she said and kept giggling as she laid back on her stomach. Logan smiled and watched her as she kept giggling.

Alex was running and running, hearing the man's voice shout. She realized she took the wrong turn and ended up in the lobby. Alex stopped as people were coming off the planes and crushing each other to get out of the cramp space.

She shoved through the people as best as she could, thrilled that she decided to keep herself covered. Alex looked back to find the man close behind her, coming close to grabbing her on more than one occasion.

She moved farther away from him as she passed old and young. Alex heard him yell to someone and looked up to find that she was being surrounded by the airports police. Alex began to back up when she remembered the man behind her.

Alex started to look around for an escape but couldn't find one. She got desperate as people started to spread like the Red sea for the cops, everyone looking at her. Only way was up and she couldn't yet do that.

"What am I going to do now?" she whispered to herself.

Alex became frightened as everyone came from each direction. *Guess I'll have to wing it* she thought as she turned all around.

"Alright, Mel, need help here." she whispered to herself. Alex felt a wave of sickness and dizziness over come her. Alex looked up as the first airport police came close to her. Alex felt her self change, like something briefly taking over herself, yet she's still there, on the sidelines.

Alex looked over to the cop as he came within four feet from her. Alex gently raised her head and the next thing that happens is that the cop is lifted in the air. People scream and run away from the floating cop.

Alex is taken out of her trance and the cop falls from his fifteen foot levitating height. The cops all look at her and freeze as they realize what she is.

*I'm toast* she thought as she knew what was to come. Alex's eyes began to blur with tears as her friend didn't help her, but cursed her to live in a two by five cell with no light and no windows.

-So, what do you think??? I'm sorry it took me so long!!! It's just hard to find room to squeeze in school and this.
